CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 470: WHOEVER RAISES THE QUESTION, MUST PROVIDE THE PROOF

The meaningful words spoken made Chu Yu desperately want to raise his hands to prove his innocence.

At this moment, the Imperial Physician hurried over, and the crowd made way for him to examine the deceased.

"How is it?" Chu Qi asked coldly.

The Imperial Physician’s expression was grave: "Reporting to Crown Prince, King of Chu, this person was struck by a strange poison, with multiple parts of the body burned and decayed, organs also damaged. It’s unclear who did this."

"Her." Chu Qi impatiently pointed at Yan Lingzhen, who was standing beside the quail.

Only then did the Imperial Physician notice Yan Lingzhen standing by, with his usually cloudy eyes now shining brightly, "Sir, sir you came today, why didn’t you notify your student?"

The crowd: "???"

Called you to examine the body, but you, with your blurred vision, came over to recognize people.

The Imperial Physician didn’t care about that. He directly placed his medicine box on the ground and walked over to Yan Lingzhen, "Did you develop this poison first, sir?"

Yan Lingzhen replied with a cold tone, "Hmm."

Seeing that the Imperial Physician was still approaching, she spoke helplessly, "Don’t get too familiar, otherwise someone will soon say you are in league with me."

Just as Princess Wuyang was about to speak, she was preempted and chose to remain silent.

Nothing to say now.

"No wonder then, it’s not surprising." The Imperial Physician stroked his beard, sighing, "In this world, only the people of Penglai Immortal Island can compare with the teacher’s medical skills; in this life, I am far inferior, alas, lamenting that I cannot age back by thirty or forty years to study under the teacher."

"Do not." Yan Lingzhen rejected outright without a second thought.

"Why not?" The aged Imperial Physician, full of admiration yet rejected, was completely baffled.

"Lack of talent." She did not like students who only knew how to study hard without understanding.

The Imperial Physician was about to say something when the Crown Prince coughed abruptly, causing him to fall silent instantly.

Being of an old age and seeing the Red Buddha’s Hand excited him a bit too much, forgetting the nature of the occasion; awakened by the Crown Prince’s cough, the Imperial Physician immediately bowed with his hands clasped together, addressing the Crown Prince and the King of Chu, "This man was exposed to a lethal poison, and moreover, there’s a distinctive, hidden fragrance in his blood, carrying aphrodisiac effects, he..."

The Imperial Physician was about to continue, but the moment Chu Qi heard the word aphrodisiac, he interjected, "Enough, no need to say more."

The baffled Imperial Physician looked at the Crown Prince, who nodded at him, forcing him to close his mouth.

Picking up the medicine box from the ground, he intended to turn and say a few more words to Yan Lingzhen, but a palace maid blocked his way, "This way please, Imperial Physician."

Treating him purely as a tool.

"So, farewell, sir."

He reluctantly said to Yan Lingzhen, who nodded back, "Be careful on your way."

After the person had gone, Chu Yu muttered softly in confusion, "Why call that young girl sir?" An old Imperial Physician with a white beard calling a young girl sir, the scene didn’t look right no matter how one saw it.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, so her soft voice didn’t sound so soft.

"Because she is the Ghost Doctor Red Buddha’s Hand." Shen Shuyun declared confidently at this time.

The people of Chu wanted Yan Lingzhen dead because she was the sister of Crown Princess Consort, a girl from the Yan Family.

Everyone thought she was just a young girl, but little did they know she was also the renowned Red Buddha’s Hand in the martial world!

Revealing this identity, it would make everyone cautious about attacking her, as they would have to consider their own power.

The Red Buddha’s Hand had saved countless lives, and opposing her was akin to opposing nearly half of the entire martial world.

What about the Chu Kingdom’s Imperial Family?

These unreasonable martial artists didn’t care about any imperial family; they only cared about the joy of revenge and gratitude!

"If the Red Buddha’s Hand truly wanted the life of your Chu Kingdom’s generals, she could have done it without anyone knowing, leaving no chance for you, Princess, to witness it yourself," Shen Shuyun added once again.

Who would have expected that Chu Yu simply wouldn’t believe it: "The rumors say that the Red Buddha’s Hand is an elderly woman, how could it possibly be a young girl not yet of age?"

At these words, everyone present was unable to respond, looking at her as if she were a fool.

This deadly poison was administered by her, and the Aphrodisiac Fragrance was also identified by her.

The Imperial Physician had confirmed this point as well.

To doubt her identity as the Red Buddha’s Hand now, wasn’t that absurd and deliberately causing trouble for no reason?

"If the Princess thinks Yan Lingzhen is not the Red Buddha’s Hand, perhaps you should present evidence proving she is not; otherwise, it would be wise for the Princess to speak with caution," some ministers who couldn’t stand it finally spoke up.

Your Chu Kingdom’s generals are brilliant talents, worth human lives.

Is our Dawei’s Ghost Doctor, the Red Buddha’s Hand, not brilliant, not worth human lives?

To consistently dismiss her as a ’young girl’, this Princess of Chu truly is nothing but a beautiful airhead!

She doesn’t listen when spoken to and only knows how to immerse herself in her own world, senselessly throwing accusations everywhere.

At this moment, the people of Dawei present had reached an unprecedented pinnacle of disdain for Princess Wuyang.

Seeing the ministers confront her, Chu Yu’s face grew embarrassed, "But it’s a fact that she killed someone! What kind of hatred allows you to kill our Chu Kingdom’s generals without batting an eyelid? They were fine when they arrived, but now they are gone, how are we to explain to their parents and relatives?!"

"Princess, please calm down, let’s sort out the facts clearly," Yan Wanqing spoke out blandly. At this point, her younger sisters had been fully exposed to everyone’s eyes, and their strength and status could no longer be hidden.

Instead of continuing to hide as before, it was better to let everyone clearly understand their prowess outright.

"This general from the Chu Kingdom was first affected by the Aphrodisiac Fragrance, then broke into a room belonging to our Dawei’s women, groping a Palace Maid. After she resisted, he attempted to force himself on her but was discovered and stopped by Yan Lingzhen. However, the general did not cease his inappropriate actions, which could have jeopardized the relations between our two countries. He continued, eventually killing the Palace Maid and then tried to force himself on Yan Lingzhen, who killed him in self-defense. That is the sequence of events," she explained.

She moved from her position, stepping onto an empty spot on the floor, walking towards Princess Wuyang, "The whole incident was triggered by that Aphrodisiac Fragrance, don’t you agree, Princess?"

"...Naturally, I agree," Chu Yu said, furrowing her brows.

"Good," Yan Wanqing immediately continued, "Since that’s the case, I now order all palace maids and eunuchs to search the residences of everyone present for this Aphrodisiac Fragrance. This matter concerns the friendship between our two nations; I trust no one will object."

Chu Yu was about to nod but quickly spoke up to refuse, "No, that is inappropriate. Most here are ladies of high status, and the items they carry are private. It’s somewhat unfitting for the Crown Princess Consort to allow palace maids and eunuchs to meddle."

"In front of national interests, does personal privacy still matter?" Yan Wanqing sneered, increasingly convinced that Chu Yu was up to no good, "Must we really stir up a war between two countries because of this Aphrodisiac Fragrance before realizing the severity of this matter!"

Her words were forceful, making it difficult for anyone to refuse.

The Crown Prince naturally supported any decision made by his consort wholeheartedly.

After a long silence, Chu Qi also nodded, thinking that this approach was acceptable.

Most people thought Yan Wanqing’s suggestion was excellent; it was the quickest way to resolve the conflict by identifying and punishing the culprits, a way to rid themselves of the heartache!
