Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Granny Li was terrified.

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

Chu Xun was truly puzzled.

Surprisingly, there were no servants or maids following behind these two people.

Granny Li cried out to the surrounding crowd, "Help! Is there anyone who can save my mistress?"

Chu Xunzhen put on a conical hat and got off the carriage.

"Chunxi, Granny Hua, don't get out of the carriage. Shousan, come with me and get out of the carriage."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chu Xunzhen added, "In front of outsiders, call me Master."

"Yes."

Now that Chu Xunzhen is a princess, she has to consider Nangong Yue in everything she does, as well as those rats secretly watching their Ninth Prince's mansion.

She did not intend to reveal her identity as a princess.

The two got off the carriage, and Chu Xunzhen whispered a few words in Shou San's ear, to which Shou San nodded.

Holding a long sword, he shouted to the crowd, "Make way! The female healer is here!"

Shou San pushed through the crowd, saying, "Make way! Lives are at stake. The female healer is here."

Everyone was surprised when they saw the graceful female doctor wearing a cone-shaped hat.

Although Granny Li was puzzled, she didn't think much of it.

After all, in the capital, most of the women were young ladies from respectable families who wore conical hats when they went out.

After all, noble families are most averse to their daughters showing their faces in public before marriage.

Alternatively, if one has a flaw in their appearance, a cone-shaped hat can be used as a cover-up.

When Granny Li saw the female physician arrive, although she was curious as to why she was wearing a conical hat, given the current situation, let alone wearing a conical hat, even if she were to bring a brown bear like the Ninth Prince's Consort did on the day she returned to the capital, as long as she could cure the Lady of the Marquis, that would be good enough.

Chu Xunzhen placed her fingers on Li Yi's pulse.

"Her pulse is weak; the lady has been poisoned. Shou San, you and this nanny help the lady to the Wan Yao Ge (Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion) ahead. I am the female physician inside."

Wanyao Pavilion?

Guarding the three?

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Granny Li was shocked.

If she remembered correctly, the eunuch named Shou San was the personal eunuch who protected the young lady.

So the woman wearing the cone-shaped hat in front of us is a young woman?

Inside the Wan Yao Ge (Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion), another doctor squeezed through the crowd to come and help.

After watching as the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion was taken into the Wan Yao Pavilion, the onlookers dispersed.

Although some curious and gossipy people were waiting in front of the Wan Yao Ge (Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion), they all dispersed when they thought about how many injured people the Wan Yao Ge received every day, especially those with serious injuries, who were even allowed to live in the Wan Yao Ge.

Upon entering the inner room, when only the female physician wearing a conical hat and Li Yi were present, Granny Li immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Chu Xunzhen took off her conical hat, nodded to Granny Li, and said, "Please rise, Granny."

When Li Mama took a look, it was indeed Chu Xunzhen.

Today, Chu Xunzhen, dressed in white, looked like a goddess or fairy. Chu Wanrou wore a white dress adorned with small jade flowers, but Chu Xunzhen, in her white dress, exuded an air of unparalleled grace and elegance.

"Why are you still wearing this agate bracelet? Didn't I tell you not to wear it?" Chu Xunzhen asked, pointing to the bracelet on Li Yi's wrist.

Granny Li knelt on the ground and reported, "Madam does not believe that the Second Miss would use the bracelet to harm her."

Chu Xunzhen nodded without saying anything more.

Li Yi's love for Chu Wanrou has reached the point of madness.

Even after learning that she was her husband's daughter with another woman, he remained unmoved.

Chu Xunzhen removed Li Yi's bracelet and said to Granny Li, "Put this bracelet in warm water."

"Yes."

Granny Li gave some copper coins to the servant guarding the door, and soon the servant brought her a basin of warm water.

The agate bracelet was thrown into the basin.

A short while later, a red substance was released from the agate bracelet.

The water, which was originally crystal clear, was now stained bright red.

Granny Li was so frightened that she lost her mind.

This is clearly a poisoned bracelet.

How could a genuine agate bracelet release a red substance when it is submerged in water?

Looking at this blood-red liquid, it was truly chilling.

Li Mama didn't believe that the agate bracelet was completely fine.

Chu Xunzhen removed Li Yi's robes and began to apply acupuncture to her body.

As the personal maid of a noble lady, this wasn't the first time that Granny Li had seen a doctor administer acupuncture.

She was deeply shocked by Chu Xunzhen's actions and gaze.

She was just a nanny who didn't know anything about acupoints, but a person's eyes don't lie.

In the past, Madam had said that Chu Xunzhen knew nothing, which really embarrassed her.

Now she realizes that the lady has probably misjudged the situation.

This young lady is truly remarkable.

On the contrary, Chu Wanrou, an adopted daughter, received the Marquis's family's full support and training, but in the end, she emptied the lady's dowry.

If what Chu Xunzhen said is true, then wouldn't the lady have raised a thankless wretch?

Chu Xunzhen had no idea what Granny Li was thinking. She raised her hand and pulled all the needles out of Li Yi's body.

Li Yi spat out black blood again.

The next instant, countless tiny black insects were spat out of her mouth.

And she regained consciousness.

When she saw the little black insects on the ground, she screamed and almost fainted.

"Madam, do not be afraid. This old servant is here."

Granny Li held Li Yi's hands and said.

Li Yi finally came to his senses.

She was momentarily confused, but then she came to her senses.

She remembered that she was on the street with Granny Li at the time.

She suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if thousands of worms were gnawing at her inside her chest.

Then, she coughed.

Today, she had planned to visit the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence with Granny Li, just to see how Rou'er was doing.

The Marquis forbade her to go openly, so she and Granny Li went there privately.

They didn't bring much with them, just some banknotes and jewelry.

When Li Yi married the Marquis in her early years, she suffered from not having enough money to spend.

Now, she doesn't want Rou'er to repeat the same mistake.

At that moment, she was coughing when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, this was the place.

Suddenly, she saw Chu Xunzhen. Her most hated daughter.

"What are you doing here?" Li Yi's voice suddenly rang out.

"Madam, it was the Ninth Prince's Consort who saved you. You were coughing up blood and vomiting a lot of insects in the street when the Consort happened to see you and took you to the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion to save you."

After Li Mama finished speaking, Li Yi was first bewildered, and then incredulous.

"Madam's health is severely depleted. There is also a loss of fortune. I advise Madam to go to Baiyun Temple and ask the abbot for a genuine peace talisman. Otherwise, if things continue like this, she will either be bedridden or die a violent death next time."

As Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Granny Li turned pale.

Thinking of the red, maggot-like poisonous insects that Li Yi had just vomited, she almost vomited up her dinner from the night before.

Li Yi scoffed, his face turning ashen: "Nonsense. What do you mean by bedridden? Dying on the spot? Chu Xunzhen, what do you know? If you're really that capable, why don't you try to avert your own doomed fate?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Li's face turned even paler, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Madam, you mustn't speak to the young lady like that. If she hadn't saved you, you would be dead already."

Given the urgency of the situation, when Granny Li saw that the staff at Jishetang recognized Li Yi as the Lady of Ping'an Marquis's Mansion, they saw that Li Yi was vomiting blood and worms and dared not help her, so they all turned and left.

The Jishetang Pharmacy was just over ten meters away, yet not a single person came out to help.

On the contrary, the Wanyao Pavilion, located dozens of meters away, had already sent a doctor to check on the situation before Chu Xunzhen even entered the crowd.

He squeezed into the crowd and happened to hear Chu Xunzhen say that he was sending the person to the Wan Yao Ge, so he went along to help.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi looked embarrassed.

She bowed awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"No need. I would help anyone who collapses on the roadside."

After Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, he left directly.

Li Yi never expected that she would leave like this.

Granny Li knelt before her and said, "Madam, the eldest young lady is a skilled physician. She used silver needles to expel the poison from your body. Now the poison in your body is completely cured."

Li Yi was shocked and said, "I've been poisoned?"

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't had the physician from the Gao family take her pulse during this time.

He had been thinking about how to help Rou'er while he was in the other courtyard, and had not summoned any other doctors from the manor to take her pulse.

Suddenly, Li Yi felt her wrist was empty.

Li Yi panicked and asked, "Where's my agate bracelet? It was the first gift Rou'er ever bought for me. I must wear it carefully. Rou'er will be so happy to know."

Seeing Li Yi like this, Granny Li felt a pang of sadness.

He can't see his own daughter, who is so wonderful, and he insists on clinging to an adopted one.

Thinking of this, she pointed to the basin, which was as red as blood, and said, "Madam, your agate bracelet is poisonous. I just soaked it in warm water, and it bled."

Chu Xunzhen stood outside the room, finding it utterly ridiculous.

This time, Granny Li spoke up herself.

She was a little curious whether Li Yi would continue wearing the bracelet.

"Impossible. This blood is fake. Did you give the bracelet to Chu Xunzhen? It must have been her doing."

Upon hearing this, Granny Li suddenly felt very tired.

"Replying to Madam, the Ninth Princess Consort did not touch your bracelet the entire time. She said that this bracelet absorbs one's luck and vitality. Madam, why won't you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi froze, then suddenly burst into wild laughter: "I refuse to believe it! I've cherished Rou'er for so many years, how could she harm me? It must be Chu Xunzhen's jealousy; she deliberately framed Rou'er, harmed my Rou'er. Rou'er wouldn't harm me! She would never harm me!"

The usually dignified Li Yi suddenly roared.

Chu Xun finally understood.

It turns out that Li Yi had already taken it to heart, but she was unwilling to admit it, deep down she was unwilling to admit that what Chu Xunzhen said was true.

If Chu Wanrou really harmed her, then what did all her efforts over the years amount to?

Wouldn't she become the most ridiculous person in the world?

"Madam, please don't get agitated. Perhaps Second Miss is also being misled, or perhaps someone is using her to persecute you. Why don't you tell Rou'er that you're uncomfortable wearing the agate bracelet and say you won't wear it anymore, and see what she says? Or you could say that you've heard from others that Baiyun Temple is very efficacious and you plan to have the agate bracelet blessed. Let's see what Second Miss says then."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up and she said, "That's a good idea, Granny. Rou'er certainly won't harm me. Let's go find Rou'er right now."

Watching Li Yi and Granny Li head to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, Chu Xunzhen pondered for a moment and then secretly followed them.

The real show is about to begin.

At that time, I hope Li Yi will stop deceiving himself.
