Gu Qingxue only smiled after hearing this. “The empress dowager and his Majesty empathize with this official and have ordered that this official does not need to kneel. However, since the empress has requested it, this official will naturally satisfy the empress.”

“No need.” The empress’s face turned extremely ugly.

Gu Qingxue did not force her. She did not have any intention of kneeling from the start, so she pretended to be obedient and said, “Yes, I will listen to your orders, Your Majesty.”

The empress clenched the handkerchief in her hand and suddenly sneered, “l haven’t seen you for two days, but you’re still so eloquent, Doctor Gu.”

“Many thanks for the empress’s praise. May I know why the empress is looking for this lowly official?” Gu Qingxue asked indifferently.

“Naturally, I want to ask Doctor Gu to tell me whether you can help Lil t Thirteen as she is unconscious because of injuries.” The empress asked with a fake smile.

“Why is the thirteenth princess injured?” Gu Qingxue was surprised.

The empress looked at Gu Qingxue with a questioning gaze and said coldly, “1 also want to ask Doctor Gu about this. Lil e Thirteen had just gone to the prince regent’s residence for a while and suddenly fall off the carriage when she came back because he was not in his right mind.”

Gu Qingxue saw that the empress wanted to swallow her whole with her gaze and finally understood what the empress meant.

She was still wondering why the empress was targeting her. It turned out that the empress had connected the thirteenth princess’s injury and unconsciousness to her.

However, she had been in the prince regent’s residence the entire day yesterday and did not even know that the thirteenth princess would encounter such a disaster.

“The thirteenth princess went out on her own yesterday and was discovered by the young prince. The young prince was worried about the princess’s safety, so he brought the princess back to the prince regent’s residence. Because His Royal Highness was not feeling well, he could not personally send the princess back to the palace, so he handed this matter over to this official. However, before this official could send the princess back to the palace, the crown prince had already sent his subordinate, Peng Zhou, to take the princess away. I thought that with the protection of the crown prince’s people, the princess would return to the palace safely. I did not expect such an accident to happen on the way.” Gu Qingxue’s words were indifferent from beginning to end, and her eyes were exceptionally calm. She was just telling the truth.

She was curious. Peng Zhou was so skilled in martial arts and was in charge of escorting the thirteenth princess. How did he manage to make the thirteenth Princess suffer such a serious fall?

Thinking back to how Leng Shuang had gone to the crown prince’s residence to ask for help immediately after the thirteenth princess went to the prince regent’s residence, she could not help but link all these events together.

The empress also understood Gu Qingxue’s underlying meaning, and her expression instantly darkened. “Gu Qingxue, how dare you?! Are you saying that the crown prince harmed Lil Thirteen? She’s his biological sister. How dare you doubt the relationship between them and try to drive a wedge between them?”

“l did not mean it that way, I was just stating the facts. Your Majesty, the thirteenth princess’s injury is heartbreaking, but there is a reason for it. Your Majesty, you should ask what happened when the princess was injured and how the servants around the princess served her. As for this lowly official’s side, if I don’t see the princess’s condition, this lowly official can’t do anything.” Gu Qingxue’s words were watertight. There was not a single ripple in her ancient well-like eyes. Her gaze was as calm as ever..
