Chapter 217 It’s that simple
Although Ouyang Qi didn't understand what situational magic was, he could tell from Bai Wei's subsequent words that Bai Wei was quibbling, questioning his judgment and even the rights he had just obtained.
Why does this woman always insist on being stubborn and why does she always question him?
If she wanted to, as long as she was humble enough to admit her mistake and apologize to him in front of everyone, this matter would never have developed to this point.
Even more so, if he only needed to find her in private and tell her that she regretted it, that she had only sought out Ouyang Yi to irritate him and that she had no feelings for him at all, he could even return the position of principal wife to her for the sake of the Xiao family's return to Beijing.
But she just wanted to go against me!
This woman, what on earth is she going to do?
"Bai Wei, why are you still quibbling? Everyone saw what happened just now. Did you scare everyone present?"
Bai Wei listened to her quietly, and then suddenly showed a shocked expression: "Your Highness Prince Qi, when my grandfather came just now, what did you hide in the pot of roses?"
Ouyang Qi frowned: "You are changing the subject again. What did I throw? I didn't throw anything."
Bai Wei walked to the rose on her own and took something out of it.
She held the thing up so that everyone could see it clearly.
It was a lotus-colored purse with a silver orchid embroidered on it.
Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what Bai Wei meant by this.
Bai Wei said, "You are the dignified Prince Qi, but you stole my purse. When you saw my grandfather coming to seek justice for me, you threw my purse into this pot of roses. Such shameless behavior is simply outrageous."
Ouyang Qi was stunned for a few seconds, then he exploded: "Bai Wei, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I care about your purse? You are clearly directing and acting it yourself, saying that I threw something away, and then secretly took it out and said that I hid it!"
Bai Wei smiled: "Oh, so it turns out that His Royal Highness Prince Qi is not stupid. Then why did this happen to you? You knew that you were framed by this general, but when it happened to me, I said that I was caught red-handed and the evidence was irrefutable?"
As he spoke, he used one hand as a hammer and the other as a platform, and struck: "I understand, it's not stupid, it's just plain bad!"
Ouyang Qi was very angry: "Don't talk nonsense, you are talking on your own, but the thing just now was done by two people, and you are always good at making false statements, so naturally their testimony is credible, but you are not!"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows, her momentum not weakened at all: "Then how can His Royal Highness Prince Qi determine that these two people are not in collusion!"
As soon as these words came out, people around started talking about it.
"What do you think is going on here? Who is telling the truth and who is lying?"
"I think what Prince Qi said is the truth. It's easy for her to stage a plot to frame Prince Qi, but how could these two unrelated people collude?"
"But I think what General Bai said is unreasonable. If this maid and Doctor Zhao were in collusion and designed this scene to frame her, it would not be unreasonable."
"Yes, what's more, when Doctor Chen came, he recognized Prince Qi's concubine at first sight. Since he said it was the maid who said it, maybe they already knew each other."
"But if that's the case, why did the two of them frame General Bai?"
"That's not it..."
A woman was talking, and her eyes subconsciously looked at Bai Lian not far away.
Bai Lian's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly calmed down: "Eldest sister, do you still want to confuse right and wrong at this point? What evidence do you have to say that my maid and Doctor Zhao are jointly framing you? Your Highness Prince Qi, you must make the decision for me!"
When Ouyang Qi heard this, there was an indescribable pride in his eyes. He was not only proud of Bai Lian's cute way of acting coquettishly towards him, but also proud of Bai Lian's words, which proved that he was the one who could make the decision on this matter.
Bai Wei, did you see it?
"General Bai, Imperial Physician Zhao, and our maid Tao'er, since none of you can prove your innocence, and this incident happened in the Imperial City, then let's go to the Imperial City Office together and accept investigation. I will give everyone the truth!"
Xiao Ling stepped forward again: "I said, as long as I am here, no one can take my granddaughter away!"
Ouyang Qi's eyes were sharp: "Why, the King of Zhennan wants to challenge the laws of Dongqin for his granddaughter?"
Xiao Ling gritted his teeth and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Bai Wei again.
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows: "First of all, I did not directly say that your maidservant and Doctor Zhao framed me, but you said it yourself."
Bai Lian was rebuked and was speechless: "I..."
Bai Wei didn't give her a chance to breathe. "Secondly, it's not difficult to prove whether the two of them have joined forces to frame me. As long as we investigate carefully, we can find out whether there is any contact between the two. Of course, we have to check not only her records of going to the Imperial Hospital, but also the records of Imperial Doctor Zhao going outside the palace. This requires the cooperation of Prince Qi and his concubine."
After hearing this, Bai Lian felt a little panicked. Although she did many things very secretly, she didn't know if there would be any traces found if she investigated.
But she also made a countermeasure. Since what she had done today was done, she must kill Bai Wei. Even if she couldn't kill her, she had to be sent to the Imperial City Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. At that time, with her status as Prince Qi's concubine, she would be tortured, and the kind of torture that would not leave any marks on the surface, so that the Xiao family would not be able to cause trouble.
Bai Wei smiled and said, "Finally, I want to say that this Imperial Doctor Zhao is a quack with poor medical skills. I don't believe the concubine's claim that the fetus in her belly was hit. If you have the guts, find two more imperial doctors to consult."
As soon as these words came out, Doctor Zhao was immediately furious, his eyes full of mockery: "General Bai, today you slandered me for colluding with others to frame you, and I could still think that you were eager to protect yourself and desperate to seek medical treatment. But now you are slandering me for my poor medical skills, how can I tolerate it? Today, even if His Royal Highness Prince Qi and the concubine are kind and don't bother with you, I can't let you go."
After saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the high platform not far away: "I must report this matter to the emperor and ask him to clear my name!"
Bai Lian's nervousness disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of ridicule.
Ouyang Qi said arrogantly, "Bai Wei, you don't think you are really great in medical skills just because you cured your face by accident. I heard that you once made a wrong prescription and almost sent the emperor's uncle away early. How dare you question the medical skills of Doctor Zhao?"
Bai Lian immediately responded, "Yes, elder sister, this doctor Zhao was selected through many rounds of selection, but you question him. Why? Do you think General Xiao will support you even if he violates the laws of Dong Qin?"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows and stretched out her hand: "Since Imperial Doctor Zhao is so skilled, why don't you check my pulse? If the diagnosis is correct and everyone present agrees, then I will accept the facts today regardless of who is right or wrong? Work!"
Doctor Zhao was dumbfounded: "Is it really that simple?"
Bai Wei's eyes were cunning: "Yes, it's that simple."
