Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 134

"Then his majesty's health has some major issues?" Minister Xu asked.

Everyone naturally understood what he meant by major issues. He was asking if Emperor Xi would pass away.

But this sort of thing couldn't be directly stated. Chief Bai could only smile bitterly and say: "Superior Xu, it's not that this lowly official isn't willing to say it clearly. It's that this thing isn't clear to begin with. In theory, his majesty shouldn't have reached such a stage, but as of now no one dares to speculate the outcome."

Minister Xu nodded, and didn't continue to make things difficult. However, his snow white brows were furrowed.

"Imperial Physician Zhou had been responsible for his majesty's health all this time. Can we continue to leave it up to him?"

Everyone knew why they were all gathered here today. It was to see if Emperor Xi's condition had anything to do with the crown prince and the empress. Since so many imperial physicians had verified it, there clearly wasn't much anyone else could say about it.

"Imperial Physician Zhou's medical skills have always been excellent. There are few within the hospital who can match him. Since he had been responsible for it all this time, then we won't have anyone else interfere. This subordinate has no objections." Chief Bai said.

Everyone present was intelligent, and naturally understood Chief Bai's style of doing things. Such a situation would result in countless of heads rolling and families being exterminated at the slightest mistake. No wonder Chief Bai was quick to pass on the responsibility.

Poor Imperial Physician Zhou.....

The two ministers looked at Zhou Jin, their gazes containing a few shades of pity.

"Since this affair is concluded, this old servant will take his leave."

Minister Xu was always a busy man. Now that things were done, he naturally wasn't willing to waste his time here. Minister Lin also took his leave.

Once the two ministers left, Senior Concubine Xu and the Jin Prince also left. Although their eyes were full of doubt and unwillingness, the two old ministers had been present as witnesses so they couldn't say anything about it. The remaining imperial physicians didn't need to be mentioned as they all left as well.

Empress Xiao gave Zheng Hai Quan a glance and said: "Eunuch Zheng, keep an eye on things here. This seat is making a trip to the Fengqi Palace."

"Yes."

Once they entered the Fengqi Palace, the crown prince suddenly let out a breath.

"Mother empress, your son had no idea Chief Bai was one of ours."

Empress Xiao smiled, "Trump cards should naturally only be used in key moments. Your mother has been running the rear palace for several decades. How could I not put any of our people into an important place like the hospital?"

"Then what about the other two physicians?"

"Those two aren't, but your grandfather has some blackmail on them."

Hearing this, the crown prince revealed a relieved smile.

"Now it's the Jin Prince's turn to be worried."

"Only when they're desperate can we find some evidence. Once we have the evidence in hand, he won't have any excuse to remain in the capital. Even if he doesn't return to his vassal state, he has to shed a layer of skin."

Mother empress, how long do you think we still have to wait—-" the crown prince couldn't help but ask.

Emrpess Xiao looked at her son's poorly concealed excitement and frowned.
