Yu Linglong was truly great.
So great that her achievements were stolen, and she was wrongly accused.
She could simply say, "Never mind."
As long as Prince Xuan was safe and sound, that would be enough for her!
The Empress Dowager was deeply moved.
Granny Yao, with tears in her eyes, whispered, "Miss Yu is so... she's been wronged so much."
The palace maids and eunuchs serving inside and outside the hall felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.
Such a beauty, gentle and tolerant, magnanimous and kind.
Why would anyone have the heart to bully her?
Duke Chu Buqu and Marquis Dingbei Long Ye were both looking at their own children.
Chu Qianli.
Her expression was unchanged.
In fact, the corners of her lips curved slightly, a faint smile appearing.
That smile startled the two of them.
It was a smile of disdain, of mockery.
The smile was chilling to the bone, filled with utter coldness.
This composure was a side of her they had never seen before!
When did their child acquire such a demeanor?
Why did she no longer seem like the Chu Qianli of the past... the one who was truly unlikable?
The hall was silent now.
Some quietly wiped away tears, some felt heartache, and others were speculating.
Suddenly, a clear voice broke the silence of the hall.
"So, Miss Yu means that I not only stole your prescription, saved the patients in Tuoxi Village, but also cured Prince Xuan?"
"Miss Yu did not accuse you; it is Miss Yu's magnanimity that she does not wish to quarrel with you. However, Prince Xuan was not cured by you. You clearly stole Miss Yu's credit!"
Granny Yao, standing beside the Empress Dowager, snorted coldly, "Although you are the Crown Princess, you cannot bully such a gentle person like Miss Yu!"
"Who are you? How dare you speak so loudly in front of so many masters?"
Chu Qianli's cold gaze swept over. "Which master gave you permission to speak?"
"You..."
The Empress Dowager coughed lightly, and Granny Yao's aggressive demeanor instantly cooled.
The Emperor and several important ministers were present.
She, an old nanny, indeed had no right to speak.
The Emperor remained silent, but his gaze was fixed on Feng Yexuan.
After Eunuch Qing ordered chairs to be brought, Feng Yexuan had been sitting and resting.
Both women in the hall had spoken, but he remained silent.
It seemed he was merely listening quietly.
Although his son was his own, even the Emperor knew that he could not see through this son of his!
At this moment, the Emperor also wanted to see for whom Prince Xuan would speak.
Unfortunately, Feng Yexuan merely drank his tea quietly, as if it were none of his business.
Yu Linglong took a step forward, standing a little higher than Chu Qianli.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, Linglong does not wish to pursue this matter. Now that Yexuan has just recovered from his illness, he needs more rest. Perhaps we should let Yexuan recuperate properly first."
The Emperor glanced at Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan remained as he was, still sipping his fragrant tea.
Just as the Emperor was about to say something, Chu Qianli coldly spoke, "Miss Yu does not pursue this matter, but this subject requests a thorough investigation to clear my name!"
Everyone gasped.
This Crown Princess was too inconsiderate of propriety!
Yu Linglong cared for Prince Xuan in every way and had suffered injustice, yet she chose to let the matter rest for Prince Xuan's health.
How could this Crown Princess still be causing trouble?
Feng Yexuan's thick, sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
It wasn't because Chu Qianli was causing trouble, but because this woman referred to herself as "this subject"?
Having married into his Prince Xuan's mansion, she still called herself "this subject"!
Did she not wish to acknowledge her identity as the Crown Princess?
