Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 42: Relationship and seems not like biological son

'Undefined poison was detected in the water!'

When the medical system's unemotional voice sounded and reported the findings inside Lin Chujiu's mind. Her hand shook and almost spilled out the tea.

Poison?

At that moment, Lin Chujiu couldn't help but thank the medical system existence and just silently smile. However, Lin Chujiu tried to close her eyes and pretended to smell the fragrance of tea in order to cover up her slow actions.

"What an excellent tea!" Lin Chujiu said her praise, but inside her heart, her blood is like a boiling water. Lin Chujiu slightly raise her eyes to look at the empress and the crown prince, but she didn't notice any abnormal reaction to them. So, she couldn't tell which one of them who planned the poisoning.

Knowing that there is poison, Lin Chujiu still tried to pretend like a fool. She used her large sleeve to cover up her face and pretended to drink. The other people thinks she was drinking, but she only let the tea flow to her sleeve.

The hot tea soaked her clothes, so she felt the hotness a little. But, Lin Chujiu just smile and put the tea cup on the side.

She wanted to go back early and use the medical system to test the poison multiple times. After all, she wanted to know what kind of poison is it.

However, if this poison was meant for her to spill out blood that would be impossible to do right now. Anyway, if she suddenly died inside the palace, Xiao Tianyao would absolutely make trouble. But, not to take revenge for her instead to use this opportunity to seize the throne.

After Lin Chujiu put down the tea cup, Yun Zhu came close and gave her a glass of water. But this time, Lin Chujiu didn't drink it and just quietly sit still while waiting for the empress's words.

The empress didn't let Lin Chujiu wait for too long. She also put down her tea cup soon and said: "Chujiu, what exactly happened at the palace's gate? The Crown Prince had said that you got dispute with the palace guards, but is that true? All the palace guards know you already, so why would they give you trouble?"

The Empress's face looks very concerned, but her tone seems like saying that Lin Chujiu is just lying and just using her identity to cause trouble.

Lin Chujiu doesn't know if it's the empress's habit or just deliberately doing so. But, the empress's attitude to her is like an elder that is giving her a good of lesson.

Lin Chuji wanted to strike back. So, she looked at the empress and smile, then call her out: "Huang Sao (Imperial Sister-in-law)."

When the words"Huang Sao" came out from Lin Chujiu's mouth. Not only the Crown Prince got stunned, but also the empress herself. The reason for this is, all these years, she treated Lin Chujiu just like any younger generation. So, how could she just accept and treat Lin Chujiu the same way with her generation? However, the empress's shocking expression is not that visible, unlike the crown prince. So at that moment, she tried to remain calm.

"Hearing Chujiu call me Huang Sao, ben gong (this empress) is very pleased. These past few years, Tianyao doesn't have anyone to care for him. But now that you're staying with him, ben gong felt relieved." The empress's tone suddenly change and seems like she's very concerned about her as sister-in-law.

"Thank you, Huang Sao for caring. When I returned I will let Wangye know that Huang Sao had been thinking about him. I'm sure, Wangye will be very happy." Lin Chujiu stood up and went in front of the empress to salute.

"Huang Sao, I don't really want to say what happened outside the palace's gate. But since we are a family and Huang Saoasked. Then, I would dare to say it."

Obviously, Lin Chujiu will complain about her grievances. But, when the crown prince and the empress heard her, they couldn't help but think: Since when did Lin Chujiu get a brain?

Don't tell me, Prince Xiao is such a talented man to train successfully a fool like her to get such courage and speak up?

Lin Chujiu doesn't care whatever the empress thinks, so she said: "Huang Sao (Imperial sister-in-law), in the past, even if the palace guards doesn't greet me I never complain. But now that I'm already a married woman, I'm no longer just the eldest miss of Lin Family. Huángshàng (emperor) himself even personally arranged this marriage for me to become Princess Xiao. And now that I became Princess Xiao, every word and every action I took represents the face of everyone in Xiao Wangfu. But, those palace guards still blocked my way and made me lose face!"

Lin Chujiu did not only complain, but also pushed all the blame to the palace guards. She also said: "Huangsao must have heard already that on the day of our wedding, there were many assassins that have attacked us and there were a lot of casualties. Wangye's legs are still paralyzed, but if he didn't protect me then I won't be able to get a chance to visit the palace again. So earlier, I really got scared and thought that they were the assassins that want to assassinate me again."

Lin Chujiu said while not forgetting to wipe her red teary eyes with her handkerchief and tried to stop herself from crying.

In fact, Lin Chujiu didn't really cry due to sadness. Though she really let her eyes turn red to make her acting looks believable and amazing.

"Chujiu … …" The empress tried to call her out because she doesn't want to hear her words anymore. But, it seems Lin Chujiu didn't hear her because she continues sobbing and crying, then said: "Huang Sao, if those palace guards didn't treat me like I am nothing, that I am powerless and that I am useless, then I wouldn't act rude to them. However, even the Crown Prince himself bully me!"

The empress's eyes suddenly widen a bit and couldn't help but asked: "The Crown Prince? What did he do to you?"

"Muhou (Mother), you don't need to continue listening to Lin Chujiu's nonsense. I just went there to pick her up, can't I even do that?" Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui immediately made an excuse. However, Lin Chujiu didn't get worried a bit and just wait for him to finish his words, before saying: "Huang Sao, did you hear? The crown prince's words don't have any trace of respect for me. If my identity is still the same as before then I won't say anything. But now that I am married to Prince Xiao, aren't I the crown prince's aunt?"

Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui thought that Lin Chujiu will just tell how disrespectful he is. He didn't expect that Lin Chujiu will added: "Huang Sao, before I know that I'm not that sensible, so I just keep shouting and chasing after the crown prince for him to marry me. But now, I don't want to have much contact with him to avoid rumors. But earlier, the crown prince just address me by my name in front of the palace gate. So, I'm not sure if that incident already reaches Wangye's ears."

The Empress hasn't said anything, but the crown prince immediately refute her: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see that I don't show any favor to you? So, how could I have any relationship with you?"

"Crown Prince, I am your aunt, so is this how you supposed to speak with your elder?"Lin Chujiu stand with an attitude of not giving up, but also show a face with full of discontent.

The Empress got a headache, but still tried to consider Lin Chujiu. So, she looks at the crown prince and said: "Crown Prince, apologized to your Imperial Aunt now. You can't continue to be rude to her."

"Muhou… …" The Crown Prince didn't dare to look at the Empress, but he couldn't believe that she asked him to apologized to Lin Chujiu.

The Empress's eyes turn cold and somewhat harshly said: "Crown Prince, didn't you hear what I said?"

The empress's harsh tone did not only shocked the crown prince but also Lin Chujiu. So, she couldn't help but think again: Doesn't the empress favored the crown prince so much? I thought the two of them were closed, but why I couldn't sense any trace of warmth on them and why they are more like a boss and a servant? The empress is so smart, so why she didn't teach him not to act foolishly? Is the Crown Prince really her biological son?

Lin Chujiu tried to look down to hide her thoughts in her eyes… …
