Yuan Qingling followed Tang Yang to the hall.
Tang Yang already told her the reason along the way.
Emperor found out that she privately treated Retired Emperor, so he was furious and ordered Mu Ru to personally bring her to the imperial palace for questioning.
She felt worried. She knew the rules of imperial palace. She was not an imperial physician, not a doctor. She was not qualified to treat the Retired Emperor.
Mu Ru waited solemnly in the hall. Seeing that Yuan Qing came in, he stood up and said, "Princess Chu, emperor invites you to the imperial palace."
Yuan Qingling only asked, "How is Retired Emperor?"
"Retired Emperor was poisoned and unconscious." Mu Ru replied.
Yuan Qingling understood.
No wonder emperor wanted to punish her. If nothing happened just because of the treatment, she would not be punished or gain any rewards. But once something was wrong, she would be responsible for all the mistakes.
Retired Emperor was poisoned.
When she followed Mu Ru out of the mansion, she saw Gu Si waiting there.
Gu Si said calmly, "Princess Chu, please get on the carriage."
There were no stools.
Yuan Qingling climbed onto the carriage with difficulty. She suddenly remembered that she didn't tell Tang Yang to pay attention to see if Yu Wenhao had a fever, so she lifted up the curtain and said to Gu Si, "I have something to say to Tang Yang."
Gu Si said coldly, "Princess Chu, you'd better not do useless things. Just go to the imperial palace."
Yuan Qingling was stunned, "Useless things? What do you mean?"
"Take good care of yourself. Don't make Prince Wenhao in trouble." Gu Si said coldly.
Yuan Qingling sneered, "Well, I know. Please help me tell Tang Yang to pay attention to see if Yu Wenhao had a fever. If he had a fever, take a pill that I already placed at the bedside. It quickly works."
The curtain fell, covering her cold expression.
Yuan Qingling's heart was extremely cold, and she knew this was a society full of suspicion.
Gu Si rode ahead. Emperor already took care of Yuan Qingling's face, and did not punish her in public. Instead, he arranged a luxurious carriage to pick her up.
Yuan Qingling was taken to the Royal Workroom.
In Royal Workroom, all windows and doors were closed.
The color in the hall was bright and luxurious. The huge sandalwood folding screen was engraved with the pattern of flying dragons. The bright yellow curtain was hung down, and its smooth wrinkles were like the water wave with clear lines.
Emperor Mingyuan sat on the dragon chair, with his hands on the huge carved dragon-riding table made of pear wood. On the table, a three-legged hollow copper censer was emitting smoke with the smell of banyan, which made people sober up immediately.
The majesty of the royal family made people want to kneel down.
This was the power of the imperial power.
It already permeated the air.
Yuan Qingling did not dare to look at Emperor Mingyuan. She could only see a shadow before she knelt down, "Yuan Qingling greet to father!"
"Raise your head!" Emperor Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but it sounded from all directions.
Yuan Qingling slowly raised her head, but looked down and did not dare to look straight at Emperor Mingyuan.
Emperor Mingyuan looked at her, "Have you treated Retired Emperor in private?"
It didn't sound like an accusation, but a casual question, but with anger.
