After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly

Chapter 539 Meeting King Chengxuan

The one waiting for her was none other than Yuan Jiuan's personal bodyguard, Ying Jue.

When Ying Jue saw that Ji Yuntang had brought two people with him, he was stunned for a moment, but still said respectfully: "Princess Ye, my prince has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

"Thank you." Ji Yuntang thanked him and went upstairs with Hua Feixue and Xie Liuzheng.

When they were about to go in, Xie Liuzheng and Hua Feixue were stopped by Ying Jue.

He said expressionlessly: "The prince only allows Princess Ye to enter. Please wait outside."

Xie Liuzheng found it ridiculous. They clearly came together, but the other party only let Ji Yuntang in.

He looked at Ying Jue and said unconvincedly: "Do you know who we are? How dare you stop us?"

Hua Feixue pulled him aside and whispered, "Forget it. The prince and your sister probably have something to talk about alone. Let's wait outside the door first!"

They came here to ask for a favor, and the other party didn't know their identities. Hua Feixue felt that Ying Jue had done nothing wrong.

As soon as Ji Yuntang walked in, a dark shadow came up to her enthusiastically, which scared her.

"Princess Ye, it's really you. Do you still remember me?"

She looked carefully and found that the person in front of her was none other than Zhufeng, who had brought Yuan Jiuan to the medical competition to ask her for treatment.

Like Ying Jue, he is Yuan Jiuan's personal bodyguard.

Ji Yuntang looked at him and smiled, "Long time no see, Zhufeng."

Zhu Feng was a little excited. "It's rare that the princess still remembers me. I told my prince before that I didn't know when I could see her again. I didn't expect to see her so soon."

"Princess Ye, you are truly a great benefactor to our prince."

When Yuan Jiuan saw Zhufeng meet Ji Yuntang, he was like a pug, with his tail almost wagging to the sky.

He cleared his throat and pretended to scold, "Zhu Feng, don't be rude. Go and make a pot of hot tea."

Zhu Feng then calmed down and replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After he left, Ji Yuntang looked at the handsome man in white brocade robe in front of him and took the initiative to ask.

"My Lord, how is your leg?"

Yuan Jiuan's face was gentle and he said in a casual manner: "After returning, I followed the instructions of the princess and insisted on training every day. I have been able to adapt to it very well."

"Although my right leg is a prosthesis, I still have no problem walking and jogging normally. Apart from not being able to use martial arts, I am already very satisfied."

Ji Yuntang smiled brightly, "That's good, I'm also very happy to be able to help the prince."

Yuan Jiuan took the initiative to invite Ji Yuntang to sit down and personally poured her a cup of tea.

He said with some shame: "Princess Ye, there is something I have thought about, and I feel that I still have to apologize to you."

"When I went to Dongchen Kingdom before, Zhufeng didn't deliberately hide my identity from you."

"No one else knows about the amputation of my broken leg except for a few of my trusted confidants."

"On the one hand, I am the vassal king of Jizhou, and Jizhou is located in the northwest. Many gangs and refugees often gather here to cause trouble. If the news of my injury spreads, it will inevitably cause unrest in Jizhou. When these people cause trouble again, countless innocent people will be injured."

"On the other hand, there is Queen Mother Yuan. In the past two years, she has sent no less than ten officials to Jizhou. She wants to remove my title of vassal king, take away my military power, and make Jizhou a fiefdom of the imperial court."

"In the past, when Emperor Chu was in power, if he wanted to withdraw the fief, I would have no objection and would have voluntarily handed over the military power. But Empress Dowager Yuan is a person with wolfish ambitions. Behind her are the five great families. Over the past hundred years, the families have been trying to seize the Chu family's imperial power."

"Since I was little, my grandfather has taught me that we should not forget our roots. Our current status was given to us by the founding emperor of the Chu family. He told me that even if I became a vassal king in the future, I must be loyal to the Chu family and the court. I have always kept his words in mind."

"Since I injured my leg, I have been in a state of weakness. I have sought medical treatment everywhere but to no avail. After seeing my leg, the doctors all said that I am lucky to be alive. This disease cannot be cured."

"At that time, Queen Mother Yuan wanted to remove my position as a vassal king and have her nephew take over. I had no intention of dealing with her, so I had all the officials from the court killed in a rage and sent their severed limbs back to her. Only then did she calm down a little."

"But I know that if Queen Mother Yuan appoints a new crown prince and the new crown prince sits on the throne, she will still try every means to withdraw my fiefdom and take back Jizhou."

"So, after I received the news from the spies in the capital, I immediately rushed to the capital. I didn't expect to witness the burial of the crown prince."

Having said this, Yuan Jiuan paused, his expression rather complicated.

He looked at Ji Yuntang and continued, "Princess Ye, I know this is a national affair of Xishu and I shouldn't involve you in it."

"But you are the smartest and most capable woman I have ever met. I still want to tell you about these things. Please help me analyze and see if this hypothesis is true."

Ji Yuntang listened carefully and said, "If you trust me, just tell me. I will do my best to help you analyze it."

Yuan Jiuan nodded and smiled elegantly, "With Princess Ye's words, I feel relieved!"

He said: "I feel that the prince buried by Queen Mother Yuan today is not the son of Emperor Chu at all, but a fake one."

"Although I don't know any medical skills and I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for many years, I know from common sense that if a person is burned by a fire, it is impossible that only the exposed skin will be completely black."

"When I opened the coffin today, I found that the skin behind the ears and the skin on the neck of the corpse were still intact, but the face and the exposed back of the hands were completely unrecognizable and blackened like a piece of charcoal."

When Yuan Jiuan said this, he stood up, opened the drawer, and took out a wrapped handkerchief.

He opened the handkerchief, and inside it lay a black hair.

"I pulled this hair from the corpse. I want to ask Princess Ye, if a person's face was burned so badly by fire, can his hair still be preserved so intact?"

Ji Yuntang shook his head and said, "His burns were not ordinary. They were caused by smearing oil and lime powder on his face and then igniting it, which caused corrosive burns. This is already considered a severe disfigurement."
