nChapter 378: Eat Him Up!

nHe defended himself anxiously, “Father, my arm was still in pain just now. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the imperial physicians. I even fainted from the pain in the sedan chair on the way here.”

nHe was genuinely in so much pain just now that he wanted to die.

nBut no one would believe him now. His arm no longer hurt, and he did not feel any discomfort.

n“You unfilial son, kneel down!” the emperor roared and slammed his palm on the table.

n“Huh?!”

nPrince Sui was shocked and obeyed instinctively. He knelt on the ground with a thud.

nThe old emperor stood up from his chair and questioned coldly, “Tell me, what happened to your arms?”

nPrince Sui’s pupils constricted, and he slowly raised his pale face.

nArms? I really don’t know anything! I was in so much pain just now! I don’t even know when my arm stopped hurting!

n“Father, I really don’t know. My arm was still in pain just now. Mother and the imperial physicians can testify for me.”

nHe looked at Consort Wen for help, hoping she would say something.

nHowever, Consort Wen acted as if she did not notice her son’s plea for help. She looked at the old emperor nervously because she also felt that her son was pretending.

nOtherwise, why would the four imperial physicians not know what was wrong with his arm?

nShe had decided to allow her son to throw a tantrum in her palace. She did not expect the emperor to summon them to the imperial study. She could not hide this anymore!

n“Your Majesty, I…”

n“If you don’t tell me, then the rest of you will tell me!”

nThe old emperor did not care about the unloved consort, who was no longer beautiful. He turned his attention to the imperial physicians.

nHe knew very well that Qian Jiyun wanted to seek justice for himself. It would be difficult to settle things peacefully if they did not find out what had happened today. Problems might even arise at the southern border.

nThe two imperial physicians, who had accompanied Consort Wen and Prince Sui, fell to their knees when they heard the old emperor’s furious demands.

nOur lives are too difficult. What does this have to do with us? We’re not the ones pretending to be injured. It’s Prince Sui! If His Majesty is angry, he should vent it on him!

nHowever, they knew that no matter what, Prince Sui was still the emperor’s son. They had to take the blame, but they would offend Prince Zhan Yun if they did. He was not someone to be trifled with.

nThey were in a dilemma!

n“Your Majesty, I’ve examined Prince Sui. I really can’t find the cause of his arm pain. His arms don’t show any signs of injury…”

nThe imperial physician kneeling on the right looked up secretly and stole a glance at the old emperor’s expression. He was so frightened that he lowered his head.

n“Your Majesty, please forgive me. I couldn’t find the cause of Prince Sui’s arm pain because I may be too inexperienced and unskilled. Why don’t… why don’t we invite Imperial Physician Yang over to treat Prince Sui? We can definitely find the cause.”

nWhat could he say? He could not possibly go along with the old emperor and say that Prince Sui was injured by the person Prince Zhan Yun had brought back, right?

nHe was clearly not injured at all. He could not accuse her without evidence.

nIf he did, Qian Jiyun would eat him up!
