CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134: STRANGE DISEASE

As Xin Lin was about to find Chu Bei and recognize her father.

In the Longteng Palace, the unfortunate father and daughter of Vice Minister Huang were trembling with fear, kneeling in front of the Longteng Empress.

"Empress, please spare our lives, this matter truly has nothing to do with me, nor with Zhi Jun."

On Vice Minister Huang’s face, there were still two claw marks left by his wife.

His heart was also filled with misery; what terrible luck he had encountered.

He had thought that being transferred back to Purple Cloud City was the beginning of rising step by step, but it turned out to be misfortune at every step.

The assassin who attempted to assassinate the Empress had used the Soul-breaking Arrows from their Vice Minister Mansion.

"If it has nothing to do with you, why would the Soul-breaking Arrow appear here?"

Empress Feng had already inquired clearly, these types of Soul-breaking Arrows, only the Deputy Minister’s daughter, Huang Zhi Jun, used within the Vice Minister Huang’s Mansion.

"Reporting to the Empress, I am guilty. There are indeed only ten arrows of this type in the Chu Mansion, and they are indeed used by me. However, ten days ago, while I went out to search for the Red Toad, I accidentally lost one. If the Empress does not believe me, you can ask my guards."

Huang Zhi Jun’s face was pale; she never imagined that losing one arrow would bring such big trouble.

"So you’re saying, the arrow that killed the Red Toad somehow ended up in Purple Cloud City?"

Empress Feng’s beautiful face always carried a light smile, yet that smile made Huang Zhi Jun feel a chill down her spine.

"I deserve to die, I never meant that. The Red Toad is dead and obviously cannot walk into Purple Cloud City... However, there was a little beggar there that day, and it’s very likely that she has something to do with the assassination attempt on the Empress!"

Huang Zhi Jun spoke of the little beggar with grinding teeth.

Huang Zhi Jun also harbored personal interests; besides Xin Lin, Gui Hu was also present that night.

But as soon as she thought of Gui Hu’s peerlessly handsome face, she selfishly concealed his presence.

"A little beggar?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Feng’s eyebrows knitted tightly.

"Zhi Jun, quickly tell us, what is the background of that little beggar?"

Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Huang hurriedly urged Huang Zhi Jun.

"That beggar..."

Just as Huang Zhi Jun was about to elaborate, suddenly, her whole body trembled non-stop, and she spat out white foam from her mouth, crying out miserably and fainting.

"Zhi Jun, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare your father!"

Vice Minister Huang was also scared until his face turned pale.

"Someone, summon the Imperial Physician."

Empress Feng frowned, thinking it was an inconvenient time to faint.

"Empress, it’s no use, ever since Zhi Jun met that odd little beggar ten days ago, she has continuously been unwell. I have already sought many famous doctors along the way, even Doctor Chen, who had retired to his hometown, could not diagnose any illness."

Vice Minister Huang erupted in tears.

He had only this one daughter, and now she was afflicted by this strange disease, making him extremely worried about seeing a parent sending off their child.

"Even Doctor Chen could not cure her."

Upon hearing this, a surprise flashed across Empress Feng’s eyes.

"Empress, Grand Doctor Chu happens to be in the palace today taking the pulse of the Empress Dowager, perhaps we could ask Grand Doctor Chu to have a look?"

The Chief Palace Maid beside Empress Feng reminded her.

"I had forgotten about him, let Grand Doctor Chu take a look."

After saying this, Empress Feng ordered someone to invite Grand Doctor Chu.

Moments later, a voice was heard from outside the door.

"Grand Doctor Chu has arrived."

A blue-robed man entered.

"Empress, is there any discomfort?"

The man had a face like a jade statue, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, extremely handsome and debonair, none other than the top medical expert of Longteng Country, Grand Doctor Chu.
