great-granddaughter had all been poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Princess Duanhui mentioned that the Imperial Physician was at a loss and suggested seeking treatment from the Princess Consort Zhenbei, the Empress Dowager’s face lit up with a mix of emotions like someone had spilled a palette of colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Li suspected that the poisoning of Princess Duanhui and the others was orchestrated by Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were too many victims, not just them, but also maids and servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they had contact with Su Jin, the maids and servants did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Imperial Physician had discovered that the poison was applied to the lanterns, and there was no way this could implicate Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the Empress Dowager, Princess Duanhui scratched incessantly, the sound making the Empress Dowager’s scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Duanhui desired to save face and thus went to the palace to seek the Empress Dowager’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But didn’t the Empress Dowager care about her own face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, she pressured the Emperor to decree the title of Commandery Princess using the poisoning incident, and now she needed Su Jin for treatment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Su Jin owe the Empress Dowager?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a matter of utilizing someone in times of need and then plotting their demise when they’re not needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager couldn’t bring herself to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with her daughter and granddaughter poisoned with no cure in sight, she couldn’t bring herself to give up either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her anger, the Empress Dowager called all the Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital to detoxify Princess Duanhui and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She warned that if they couldn’t identify the poison, their heads would be on the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Physicians were in utter distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight of them deliberated on prescriptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Page after page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Princess Duanhui took the medicine, there was no effect whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Duanhui hurried into the palace, and the Empress Dowager’s summoning of the physicians inevitably reached the Emperor’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Fu, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it is said that fortunes rotate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rotation was exceedingly swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had just turned to the Empress Dowager’s hands, and after a night, it fell back to the Princess Consort Zhenbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, they wanted to harshly punish the Princess Consort Zhenbei, and today they sought her help...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Fu sympathized with the Empress Dowager’s continuously thinned reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, even if poisoned, needing the Princess Consort Zhenbei to detoxify wouldn’t merit returning a Commandery Princess title to the Emperor, would it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Fu looked at the Emperor in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor sipped his tea lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an expression as if watching a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Duanhui had taken seven or eight bowls of medicine, and her palms only itched more, nearly driving her to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She endured for two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Capital City was plastered with notices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notices depicted a man and a woman wearing masks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how many officials and soldiers were mobilized to search everywhere, yet they couldn’t find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the people they were searching for were lazily resting on the Imperial Concubine’s Couch, munching on tributed fruits newly awarded by the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life shouldn’t be too comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, after two days without suspicion falling on her, Su Jin was genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that day when Princess Chengxian’s cousin fought over the lanterns, Chu Shun and his cohort appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, with the poison applied to the lanterns, it was easy to suspect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Empress Dowager and her entourage suddenly developed a sense of shame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing they’ve seized a hot potato, and determined to hold on no matter how scalding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how long could they possibly endure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once palms begin to fester, it’s beyond what ordinary people can bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before finishing the tributed fruit, a decree summoning her from the Empress Dowager was delivered to the Prince Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu ran in to relay the message, and Su Jin smiled faintly, \"Go and reply that I’ll be there to receive the decree after I bathe and change clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To receive a decree from the Empress Dowager, there’s no need to bathe and change, is there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princess Consort was deliberately vexing the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu hurriedly went to the front yard to convey the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eunuch delivering the decree was anxious but dared not urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who in the palace didn’t know the temper of the Princess Consort Zhenbei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid that summoning the Princess Consort Zhenbei to the palace might be refused, the Empress Dowager specifically issued an imperial decree, whereas ordinarily, a verbal message would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin bathed and then donned the dress from the Lantern Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before heading out, to be more memorable to Princess Chengxian, she went to find Xie Jingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dragged him inside, stripped him, and dressed him in the brocade robe from that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her diligent teasing left Xie Jingchen frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at times like this did he witness her industrious and virtuous demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the palace, they went directly to see the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitifully, in just three days, Princess Duanhui and the others had lost a significant amount of weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager also looked much more haggard, lacking the radiance of that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Su Jin and Xie Jingchen walk in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian widened her eyes, rage climbing up from her heart to her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid recognized Su Jin and Xie Jingchen and said, \"Princess, it’s them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian raised her hand to cut off the maid’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her teeth, suppressing the anger from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin smiled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That anger—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could suppress it, but she couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needing assistance, the Empress Dowager’s demeanor softened significantly, asking Su Jin to check Princess Duanhui’s pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin complied obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a pulse diagnosis, her words were unpleasant to the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin said she couldn’t solve the poison affecting Princess Duanhui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager gripped the Phoenix Chair and said, \"Princess Consort Zhenbei, are you holding a grudge against me for that day’s incident and refusing to help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked at the Empress Dowager and said, \"Though I have high medical skills, I can’t cure every poison. That the many Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Hospital are unable to counter Princess Duanhui’s poison shows how challenging it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Empress Dowager need not suspect me. If I could detoxify, I’d charge ten thousand taels per diagnosis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t go against money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew Su Jin charged for healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words also assured the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin excused herself and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager did not urge her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Jin turned to leave, Princess Chengxian became anxious, \"Empress Dowager, she’s lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin’s lips curled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager frowned, saying, \"Behave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian was anxious, pointing at Su Jin, \"The poison on the lanterns was planted by her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin turned to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess, you can’t utter carelessly,\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Misspeak and there are consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian couldn’t care less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, not only her palms itched, but there was also a faint pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The physicians couldn’t detoxify their poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they to let the poison spread, allowing their hands to fester continuously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing mattered more than life itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Chengxian, \"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could the poison on the lanterns have been planted by the Princess Consort Zhenbei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian’s throat stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice choked as if someone’s grip made it impossible to utter a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin watched her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see how she would condescend and strip her dignity for survival, beneath Su Jin’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian remained silent, scratching her palms incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t speak, Su Jin would leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Chengxian was anxious and irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t let Su Jin leave, in desperation, \"Empress Dowager, I’m not lying. It’s truly her who poisoned the lanterns...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the Emperor entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Jin saw the Emperor, she turned and said, \"Princess Chengxian, just accusing me of poisoning isn’t sufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the Empress Dowager sentences me, state clearly how I poisoned the lanterns and where I did so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re embarrassed to explain, I can say it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1389,"2026-06-06T02:20:06.552Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab4dd6fb9bb1a3688490adcaa049ad5b09542c04f79751f76a667103265c53d4","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-771","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-769",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-cover.jpg"]
