Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

"Time to go home!"

Li Yunsheng's voice came from afar, interrupting her thoughts.

When Wei Xiang looked up, she realized that Li Yunsheng had walked quite a distance and was standing in the middle of the street, waving at her.

Chapter 75 Wei Xiang Gets a Tooth Extraction

Li House.

On the roof beam, Wei Xiang had a pen in her mouth, as if she was pondering something.

On the roof beams, quite a few words had already been written.

June of the eighth year of Wu'an

A pure and refined power inexplicably appeared within him.

Despite being terrified of hardship, he suddenly wanted to learn martial arts.

In July, I secretly started learning to ride a horse.

How did he and Jiang Qingying kill the second-rank expert in September?

Why did the injury heal overnight?

How did he control the Thirteen Masters of Miaoyin Tower?

In December, how come he had so many storytelling tales in his belly?

Why do I not experience any adverse effects after eating hawthorn?

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Xiang used her pen to completely black out the last line.

Just as Li Yunsheng had predicted, she racked her brains but couldn't figure out why.

Because neither of these conjectures has a reasonable explanation.

She could only attribute the reason to Li Yunsheng's breakthrough to the ninth rank of cultivation, which changed his physique.

Therefore, this point is barely considered questionable.

After doing all this, Wei Xiang casually tossed the calligraphy brush in her hand, and it landed right on the brush holder.

She lay on the roof beam, crossed her legs, and gently swung her toes.

He was thinking about all the questions written on the roof beam.

She seemed to have thought of something, suddenly sat up, and disappeared into the room in a leap.

……

Phoenix Palace.

"Xuanran, do you think people can be reborn after they die?"

Upon hearing this question, Shangguan Xuanran was unaware of its deeper meaning.

"I've never heard of such a thing. Everyone says that the dead cannot be brought back to life, so it must be impossible."

"Can't I...?"

Jiang Qingying held the doll representing Li Yunsheng in her hand and kneaded it wantonly.

However, judging from her slightly vacant gaze, her thoughts had already drifted off to who-knows-where.

All the doubts I had about Li Yunsheng were now intertwined in my mind.

Then, a bizarre idea popped into her head.

(ˊˋ): Could it be that he was reborn as well?

(｀): Impossible. Even if one is reborn, the body should not change.

(ˊˋ): How come he can always think ahead of me in everything? No matter what I do, he has already prepared a countermeasure.

(｀): Because you're stupid.

Jiang Qingying: ...

(｀): Perhaps he is not Li Yunsheng at all, but just looks exactly like Li Yunsheng.

(ˊˋ): When did the plot start to change?

(｀): Li Yunsheng is sick.

(ˊˋ): Doctor Zhang!

(｀): Doctor Zhang!

"A shock!"

Shangguan Xuanran immediately bowed: "Your Majesty."

Jiang Qingying raised her head.

"Summon Imperial Physician Zhang to the palace!"

"Yes."

More than half an hour later.

Physician Zhang followed Shangguan Xuanran into the Fenglin Palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Jiang Qingying immediately noticed that something was wrong with Physician Zhang's voice.

“Raise your head.”

Physician Zhang kept his mouth tightly shut and slightly raised his head.

Jiang Qingying frowned.

What's wrong with you?

Physician Zhang lowered his head again, his speech becoming somewhat slurred.

"I accidentally knocked out my tooth."

"Did you knock out your tooth?"

Shangguan Xuanran stepped forward and whispered.

"His teeth looked like they had been forcibly pulled out."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingying raised her hand.

"Let me see your teeth."

Helpless, Doctor Zhang could only open his mouth; one of his front teeth was already gone.

That front tooth was pulled out by the root; it didn't look like it had been knocked out at all.

Jiang Qingying slammed her hand on the table.

"To be honest, what exactly happened?"

Physician Zhang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, everything I have said is true."

"Do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by beheading?"

Physician Zhang visibly trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but this tooth of mine was... was pulled out by someone."

Jiang Qingying immediately thought of Li Yunsheng. "You finally slipped up, didn't you?"

Who pulled it out?

"Your Majesty, it was a woman, but I don't know her at all."

"Did that woman have gray hair?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Physician Zhang nodded hurriedly. "How did Your Majesty know?"

The woman beside Li Yunsheng was none other than Wei Xiang, and she naturally knew that.

However, she couldn't understand why it was only one tooth that needed to be pulled.

This time, Li Yunsheng was clearly ahead of her again, but he didn't kill her to cover it up.

"What did that person say to you?"

Upon hearing this question, Physician Zhang seemed to recall some terrible experience, and replied tremblingly.

"She asked me, 'Has it been me who treated Prime Minister Li when he fell seriously ill half a year ago?'"

Jiang Qingying nodded: "Go on."

"I say that I was the one who treated him."

Then she asked, "Was there anything unusual about Prime Minister Li when he was ill?"

"Your Majesty, I say that Prime Minister Li only feels a slight chill and there is nothing wrong with him."

At this point, Physician Zhang's voice trembled with grievance and a hint of tears.

"Then she said I was lying, and somehow she pulled out a pair of big pliers and ripped out one of my front teeth."

The more Jiang Qingying listened, the more her brows furrowed. Something wasn't right about this plot.

The reason she thought of Physician Zhang was because the plot started to go wrong from the time Li Yunsheng fell seriously ill.

The doctor who treated Li Yunsheng was Physician Zhang. If there were any changes in him, perhaps some clues could be found during the examination.

Summoning Physician Zhang to the palace late at night was also to confirm his own guess.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiang beat him to it.

Wasn't Ke Weixiang supposed to be there to cover it up?

The questions she asked were all the questions she wanted to ask.
