Xiao Jiu'an's arrogant attitude and words angered the Emperor quite a bit, but he could not argue with Xiao Jiu'an.

Of course, he could use his identity to suppress Ji Yunkai, but those with brains would know that Prince Yanbei's Wife had a bright future. How could anyone be so stupid as to use risk their own lives to fight against the undependable and useless Grand Concubine Jing, who only had one foot in her coffin?

"Your Majesty, This Official is speaking the truth. If Your Majesty doesn't believe This Official, send an imperial physician and coroner to examine her wounds." Xiao Jiu'an did not bring up the issue of Grand Concubine Jing's identity, but everyone knew that some things could be solved with one sentence.

Grand Concubine Jing had not died yet!

"Of course it's to check Grand Concubine Jing's injuries. Right... this involves human life, so it would be better to have the Ministry of Justice to investigate it." Xiao Jiu'an did not know the specifics, but he knew that, with Ji Yunkai's intelligence and patience, she would not make a move against Grand Concubine Jing in the palace.

In fact, with just this broken body of Ji Yunkai's, even if she wanted to, she would not be able to do anything.

"Impudent! Prince Yanbei, this is the Imperial Palace!" Causing trouble at the Imperial Palace, and opening his mouth to look for the people from the Ministry of Justice; just where does Xiao Jiu'an want the Emperor to go?

However, Xiao Jiu'an refused to give in, "The Son of Heaven has committed the same crime as the commoners. What's more, she is only a Grand Imperial Concubine." When he had beaten the Princess Consort of Xiao Jiu'an, he wanted to gently blow him away afterward.

Only he, Xiao Jiu'an, can bully his Princess Consort. Even if she was someone that he did not want, others could not move against her at all.

"What a good 'The Son of Heaven has committed the same crime as the commoners'. Prince Yanbei, what's your punishment for trespassing into the Imperial Palace?" The Emperor was so angry that he smiled. He pointed at the fallen Imperial Guards and asked, "You injured the Imperial Guards. What should be your punishment?"

"This Official was worried about the safety of my Princess Consort and was in a hurry. Please forgive This Official, Your Majesty." Xiao Jiu'an was arrogant, and he did not admit any guilt to the Emperor. He never thought that he was in the wrong.

Without waiting for the Emperor to speak, Xiao Jiu'an continued, "Luckily This Official was able to make it in time; otherwise, my Princess Consort would have died in the Imperial Palace."

"She's only been kneeling for a few hours, is that enough to take her life?" The Emperor was secretly uneasy. It was fine for him to make Ji Yunkai kneel, but if he killed Ji Yunkai, Xiao Jiu'an would never let it go.

"What This Official said is the truth. The Emperor doesn't believe it, so This Official asks that the imperial physicians come to investigate." Xiao Jiu'an no longer said anything more. He only stood there holding Ji Yunkai, waiting for the Emperor's decision.

Ji Yunkai was still snuggled into Xiao Jiu'an's embrace; her face stuck to his ice-cold armor. Hearing the conversation between him and the Emperor, her heart became as cold as the armor.

From the very beginning, she was the victim in the battle between the Emperor and Xiao Jiu'an. The two of them probed each other. They did not want to hit each other's faces, so she became a tool for them in their private war.

As for her life and death? How did she feel?

If Ji Manor was not willing to stand up for her, then who would?

As a weak girl in this era, even if she could transcend the heavens, she still would not be able to display it.

Under Xiao Jiu'an's forceful request, the imperial physicians quickly came. Looking at the wailing Imperial Guards on the ground, the imperial physicians thought that their mission was to treat the Imperial Guards. It was only when the Emperor opened his mouth and said that they needed to properly and carefully diagnose Prince Yanbei's Wife that the imperial physicians knew that their patient was Ji Yunkai.

Raising his head to look at Xiao Jiu'an, who was brimming with killing intent, the imperial physician braced themselves and said, "This Official greets Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness can put down your Princess Consort."

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an was about to put Ji Yunkai down, but seeing that Ji Yunkai's face was pale white and she had bit her lip in pain, Xiao Jiu'an's heart was inexplicably agitated. He immediately changed his mind, "This King's Princess Consort is heavily injured, it's not appropriate to move her. Go get a chair."

The palace maids that stood around did not dare to act rashly. They raised their heads to look at the Emperor, and only with his permission did they turn around to move the chair.

However, the palace maid was still quite smart. She ordered people to carry two chairs, one for the Emperor and one for Prince Yanbei.

The servant first set up the Emperor's throne and waited for the Emperor to sit down before moving the ordinary chair in front of Xiao Jiu'an.

He calmly sat on the chair. Xiao Jiu'an gestured the imperial physicians to come forward and diagnose Ji Yunkai.

With the Emperor's warning and Prince Yanbei personally taking charge, the imperial physicians did not dare to exaggerate Ji Yunkai's injuries, nor did they dare to conceal the truth about her injuries. The three imperial physicians stepped forward to diagnose her and concluded that Ji Yunkai's body was very weak. She had injuries occurring all over her body, two of her ribs were fractured, and she had taken medicines harmful to the body.

The imperial physicians had already tried their best to use neutral words without any emotion to describe the diagnosis, but even so, the Emperor was still dissatisfied.

"Are you sure the diagnosis is correct?" When he went to the Kang'an Hall, Ji Yunkai was in good spirits. She did not look like someone who was injured at all.

"Your Majesty, you heard what the imperial physicians said. This King's Princess Consort is so weak that she probably can't even kill a chicken. How could she stab Grand Concubine Jing in front of the palace maids and eunuchs?" As if he had thought of something, Xiao Jiu'an lowered his head and asked Ji Yunkai, "Oh right... what did Grand Concubine Jing get injured by?"

"Fragments of a teacup." Every time Ji Yunkai spoke a word, the pain in her lungs was severe, but even if she was in pain, she would still speak.

"Fragments of a teacup?" Xiao Jiu'an taunted, "Grand Concubine Jing is made of tofu. A small fragment of a teacup can knock her out for a few hours. Your Majesty, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Palace are a bit too lacking in their medical skills. "

"Grand Concubine Jing's neck was cut, and she lost too much blood, causing her to fall unconscious." The Emperor deliberately stressed the word "cut". And just as he finished speaking, a young eunuch behind him quietly withdrew.

The Emperor thought that he had done this without anyone noticing, but he did not know that Xiao Jiu'an had seen it all.
