(Like Zhen is used by the Emperor to refer to himself infront of others, chen qie is the word used by harem folk instead of using I when speaking forth seniors.)

Shen Nuo smiled bitterly. You still dare to inferior me? Looks like I didn't teach you enough yesterday!

The Emperor looked at Shen Nuo. "Consort Shen, is that true?"

Shen Nuo smiled. "Yes!" He said in an unfaltering voice, causing the entire Court Hall to gasp. Even Consort Lian who was crying, couldn't help but choke in her breath.

"But what I gave Consort Lian was but a medicine and not poison." Shen Nuo said again. He looked at Consort Lian. "Sister Lian, what I gave you was a rare medicine that can cure the rashes. You-"

"Liar!" Consort Lian cried out. She looked at the Emperor miserably. "Your Majesty, chen qie paid a visit to Consort Shen yesterday. After he felled into the Ice Lake, chen qie was very concerned. But chen qie didn't think little brother would poison chen qie's tea, Your Majesty! Chen qie's face had grown rashes!" She looked at Shen Nuo furiously. "Little brother, still you won't admit the truth. Chen qie is very good to little brother but why do you..." She cried furiously. "Chen qie's face..." Tears were welling down her cat eyes. It looked very pitiful.

Yanlong pressed his fingertips upon his brow bone feeling a headache "Guards! Summon the Imperial Doctor!"

Doctor Xuan was very old and had served Li Yang for more than forty years. He was highly skilled and experienced. He hurried to the Court Hall under the summon, carrying his little medicine box.

"Imperial Doctor Xuan." The Emperor said in his icy voice. "Zhen needs to know about a certain content whether it's poison or not."

Doctor Xuan bowed. "At your service! Your Majesty!"

Yanlong handed over the phial to Zhangsun, his bodyguard who stood beside him dutifully. He brought the phial and handed it over to the doctor.

Shen Nuo smiled. All was going according to the plan. He purposely left the phial at the desk inside the pavilion yesterday, knowing that Consort Lian would definitely plot against him. Of course she had taken the phial early morning to visit the Emperor.

But it was that he wasn't the original Shen Nuo anymore. And Consort Lian had truly underestimated him this time.

He looked at the phial leisurely. It's the time for Consort Lian to pay for all what she did to him in the past. Bitch!

The old man checked the phial and smelled it for a long time. "Your Majesty, this is an extremely rare medicine used for skin rashes and inflammations. The ingredients are Aloe Vera and -"

"Xu Chang Qing and Qiang Huo." Shen Nuo completed it for him. "The rashes upon Consort Lian's face was caused by the mixture of the makeup and the wine that I accidentally spilled on her face. It's not a poison. It's a skin allergy."

The sixty years old doctor couldn't help but smile in amazement. "Consort Shen is true! This indeed is a rare medicine that is known by a very few. And it's extremely cautiously prepared. Even the ingredients are neither too less nor too much. May this subject have the honor of asking who made this?"

Everyone else: "..."

The Emperor furrowed his brows. "It was made by Consort Shen. It's not a poison?"

The old man simply stared at Shen Nuo. He couldn't believe his old ears. He was speechless.

"Doctor, you don't have to praise me." Shen Nuo said smiling brightly. "This consort just happened to learn some skills from a wandering doctor when he was small. Anyway, it was me who accidentally spilled the wine on sister Lian's face. So I was guilty. I only wanted her cured but..." He looked at Consort Lian helplessly. "She...she-"
