Su Yingxue’s gaze darkened as she realized that the empress was truly ruthless, not leaving her any room to maneuver!

A warm hand landed on her shoulder as Chu Yihan spoke in a deep voice, “Leave it to me. Don’t worry.”

Su Yingxue’s heart warmed, and she nodded in agreement.

Chu Yihan turned and walked out of Consort Xiang’s palace, while Su Yingxue entered the chamber where Consort Xiang’s body lay.

Chu Mingyuan followed Su Yingxue. He watched nervously from the side.

Su Yingxue checked Consort Xiang’s pulse and breathing, and a cold shiver ran down her spine.

Consort Xiang was indeed dead!

“She is already dead, and you’ve arrived too late!” Little Ginseng sighed, floating through Su Yingxue’s mind.

Chu Mingyuan, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, asked, “Can Xiang’er be saved?”

Su Yingxue should have answered that it was impossible, but when she thought about Chu Yihan, who had taken on the blame with her, her brows slightly furrowed. “Emperor, please grant me some time to treat Consort Xiang alone!”

“No, I want to stay here and watch over Xiang’er to ensure you don’t tamper with her!” Chu Mingyuan firmly refused to leave.

He had failed to protect Xiang’er when she was alive, so he would never allow anyone to harm her now.

“Emperor, if I cannot save Consort Xiang, then I will willingly accept whatever punishment you deem fit. I cannot escape from the palace, but I am accustomed to handling illnesses independently. If Emperor refuses, then Consort Xiang will have no hope left,” Su Yingxue calmly stated.

Chu Mingyuan didn’t believe that a dead person could be revived, but he couldn’t bear to let go of her. He coldly declared, “I will give you one final chance. If Xiang’er does not wake up, 1 will surely have you torn apart!”

With that, he left Su Yingxue alone in the chamber.

Facing Consort Xiang’s lifeless body, Su Yingxue’s eyes gleamed with a cold light.

“Hey, are you stupid? He’s already dead, and you’re still gambling! Why don’t you quickly escape with the handsome prince?” Little Ginseng’s voice filled with anger as it flitted around in Su Yingxue’s mind. That handsome prince looked very capable, and they would surely be able to escape together.

Why did she have to agree to that emperor’s proposal?

Su Yingxue entered the Medicine King Valley, feeling somewhat hesitant as she spoke up, “Little Ginseng, you mentioned that your ginseng whiskers could revive the dead. Can you…”

“No!” Little Ginseng decisively rejected her, “Do you think my ginseng whiskers can be used by anyone? What if something happens to you? How can I save you? If you die, I’ll die too!”

It was now merged with Su Yingxue, and it only sought to protect her!

It did not incline benevolence or protecting so many people!

As long as Su Yingxue didn’t die!

“In that case, forget it.” Su Yingxue asked and left.

Little Ginseng protested in her mind, “Hey, hey! You’re giving up just like that!”

She should at least struggle a bit more, talk about ethics and morals, and try to convince it!

“I don’t want to force you!”

Su Yingxue sighed.

Little Ginseng puffed up its cheeks in surrender, “Fine, I’ll give it to you!”

It lowered its head, allowing Su Yingxue to pluck one of its whiskers. Su Yingxue swiftly pulled one out.

Little Ginseng screamed in her mind, “Ah! It hurts so much!”

Su Yingxue was slightly startled, “Are you alright, Little Ginseng?”

“I’m not okay! It’s so painful!” Little Ginseng’s voice sounded dejected.

Su Yingxue blinked and smiled. She had deceived Little Ginseng into giving her the whisker. First, she made Consort Xiang consume it, then she carefully examined her pulse to determine the cause of her untimely death.

Suddenly, Consort Xiang regained her breath and pulse. Su Yingxue also discovered that the medicine Consort Xiang had taken was poisoned, resulting in her immediate demise..
