Canglan Empress

Chapter 62
Jimo Linghua couldn't figure it out at all, but the queen understood - when she saw these scars, she felt uneasy.

This scar was all too familiar to her.

In the past, when Jimo Linghua was punishing the maid beside him, he used that whip to inflict such scars on the maid's body, almost exactly the same.

And that whip was a gift given to Jimo Linghua by the emperor himself when she was 14 years old.

The whip looks exquisite and small, and is light in hand, suitable for women's self-defense.

But few people know that when this beautiful and lovely whip hits people, the wounds it causes are not inferior to the stabbing of a sword.

That's why when she stared at the scar on Yaohua's leg just now, the queen's expression gradually changed.

"What did you go to Ganquan Palace?" Emperor Tiande didn't ask whether she hurt Yaohua, but asked another question, "I have never known Yaohua's existence for so many years, and none of you Remind me, I still have a child."

Having said that, he turned his eyes slightly, and looked at Empress Ouyang, "Is it your order for Linghua to go to Ganquan Palace?"

"No." The queen's complexion changed suddenly, and she subconsciously denied it, "Please look into it clearly! This concubine doesn't know about Linghua's going to Ganquan Palace, but... but I can guarantee that the injury on the fourteenth princess's leg is by no means serious. What Linghua did, I ask the emperor to believe that, although Linghua is a bit arrogant, he is a kind child..."

Kind?

Emperor Tiande sneered, noncommittal.

"I just want to know, did you mother and daughter always know that there is a fourteenth princess in the palace?" Emperor Tiande said coldly, looking around, his sharp sword-like eyes came from everyone's face. Passing, "Who knows the existence of the Fourteenth Princess all these years but hasn't said it? Concubine Shu, do you mother and daughter know?"

"Chenqie—" Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and she was about to speak to defend herself.

Emperor Tiande no longer looked at her, "Concubine Mei, do you know?"

"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Mei stood up and replied with downcast eyes, "The concubine has been quietly staying in the deep palace with Qinghua all these years, not paying attention to the outside affairs, and not caring about things that have nothing to do with our mother and daughter." I have never inquired about it, and I hope the emperor will learn from it."

When Emperor Tiande heard the words, his expression relaxed slightly, as if he believed her words.

Everyone thought that he would ask questions next, but Emperor Tiande didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at the empress mother and daughter with deep eyes, and then passed over the faces of Concubine Shu and her daughter. The deep and unpredictable emotions in his eyes made people feel disturbed.

Soon the doctor came.

Emperor Tiande finally turned his eyes away and asked the imperial doctor to come in directly.

It's just that the fourteenth princess suffered a little injury on her leg. Of course, there was no need for too many imperial physicians to come. Only the first imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital walked into the brocade shed with the medicine box in hand, and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Don't be too polite." The emperor ordered, "Hurry up and show His Royal Highness the injury."

"The minister obeys the order."

Although Physician Meng didn't know where the Fourteenth Highness came from, he didn't show any abnormality on his face. After all, he had served the emperor for so many years, so he still had some strength.

Turning around, seeing the woman sitting on the chair with her trousers rolled up, the imperial doctor immediately didn't have time to pay attention to the surprise in her heart, and went directly to check on her injury.

And at this moment, there was another high-pitched notification sound outside: "The King of War is here—"
