Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Phoenix Dominates the Realm (2)

Mu Mian was the personal palace maid of the original owner.

She had been standing guard here all along, and at this moment, when she saw Chuzheng still alive, her initial reaction was shock, which was quickly replaced by delight.

With reddened eyes and a choked voice, Mu Mian said, ”Your Highness, are you really not dead?”

Still with a hint of disbelief.

After all, the Imperial Physician had diagnosed her.

How could it be...

that she was fine?

Chuzheng sat back on the spirit couch and replied, ”Yes.”

Mu Mian covered her mouth, tears pattering down.

”This servant really thought you were dead...” Mu Mian hit herself twice, ”It’s just too good that you’re all right.”

The news of Chuzheng’s resurrection spread instantly throughout the Imperial Palace.

Chuzheng was welcomed back to the Ziwei Palace, where she lived.

Ziwei, being the imperial star, residing in a palace named after it, silently proclaimed that she was the future heir apparent.

And indeed, Ziwei Palace had been the residence of the Crown Princesses through the ages.

The original owner, at a young age, had moved into this palace, which highlighted the profound favor Her Majesty the Empress bestowed upon her.

Chuzheng looked up at the palace in front of her.

It was adorned with white banners, white lanterns, and white silks, among other things.

”Your Highness...”

”We’ve seen Your Highness.”

The palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to get too close to Chuzheng, fear evident in their eyes.

Resurrected from death, such a thing was too incredible.

”Take all this stuff in the palace down,” Mu Mian, supporting Chuzheng, ordered the palace maids and eunuchs, ”Go quickly and summon the Imperial Physician.”

”Yes.”

The palace maids and eunuchs set to work immediately.

The first to arrive before the Imperial Physician was the original owner’s parents.

It was a man of striking appearance, aged but still exuding charm.

His clothes were luxurious but not as feminized as Chuzheng had expected, with only the hem and sleeves appearing more fluid.

”Xiao Zheng.”

Wen Wu approached swiftly, his gaze circling over her, and finally, he could not contain his emotions, the feelings in his eyes breaking forth like a flood.

”Am I dreaming?”

Wen Wu could not believe it.

”No, I’m alive,” Chuzheng said with an even tone.

Wen Wu pinched himself, feeling the pain.

He wasn’t dreaming.

His daughter was truly still alive.

Wen Wu murmured, ”As long as you’re all right, that’s what matters... that’s what matters...”

Chuzheng leaned against the headboard, while Wen Wu sat beside her, perhaps in acknowledgment of the propriety between men and women, he merely sat there without any overstepping gestures.

His hands resting on his thighs were shaking continuously.

His eyes were intently fixed on her.

As if afraid that with a blink of his eyes, Chuzheng would disappear.

”Have you summoned the Imperial Physician?” Wen Wu turned to ask Mu Mian, ”Hurry and have the Imperial Physician come check on Xiao Zheng.”

Mu Mian curtseyed, ”Responding to Phoenix Lord, I have already sent for one.”

Before the Imperial Physician’s arrival, Wen Wu carefully asked Chuzheng if she felt unwell anywhere.

Chuzheng indicated there was nothing wrong.

Once the Imperial Physician arrived, Wen Wu immediately ordered him to perform a thorough check-up on Chuzheng.

Wen Wu stepped out of the room as it was inappropriate for him to be present, and he waited outside.

The Imperial Physician was inwardly terrified.

How could someone declared dead be resurrected?

No matter whether she believed or not.

The one confirmed dead by everyone was now sitting in front of her, staring back impassively.

Chuzheng’s complexion was terrible, not at all like that of a living person. Her dark pupils seemed frosted, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

Being watched by her, the Imperial Physician’s scalp went numb.

Plucking up her courage, the Imperial Physician stepped forward, ”If... If it pleases Your Highness, allow this humble servant to take your pulse.”

Chuzheng extended her hand.

The Imperial Physician’s fingers rested on Chuzheng’s wrist, feeling warmth.

A living person.

The Imperial Physician exhaled softly in relief.

Yet another question arose: how had the prince come back to life after dying?

”Your Highness, you are injured. Please remove your clothing, and allow this humble physician to examine you,” the Imperial Physician cautioned carefully.

The spot where the original Chuzheng was stabbed by the assassin had already formed a scab.

Chuzheng reached out to touch it.

The Imperial Physician was startled and anxious, ”Your Highness, please do not move recklessly.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

The Imperial Physician stopped Chuzheng and quickly bandaged her up before exiting.

Wen Wu paced back and forth outside, his face etched with worry, occasionally glancing inside.

When the Imperial Physician came out, Wen Wu immediately inquired, ”How is Xiao Zheng?”

The Imperial Physician bowed, ”Reporting to Phoenix Lord, the Crown Princess has no serious injuries.”

”Xiao Zheng she...” Wen Wu lowered his voice, ”how did she come back to life after dying?”

The Imperial Physician’s sweat poured out profusely.

Wiping the cold sweat, he said, ”Phoenix Lord, this lowly one is incapable.”

Wen Wu frowned, ”It’s possible that Xiao Zheng did not die, yet you at the Imperial Hospital declared her dead...”

Before Wen Wu could finish, the Imperial Physician knelt down with a ’thump’.

”Phoenix Lord, at that time, the Crown Princess had indeed passed away. Every Imperial Physician in the Imperial Hospital diagnosed her, and this humble one would never dare to deceive you!!”

”What’s going on with Xiao Zheng then?”

His daughter was clearly fine!

”This...”

How could the Imperial Physician know?

”What is all this?”

A dignified female voice, authoritative and majestic, emerged from outside.

The bright yellow figure, surrounded by attendants, entered with stately grace and a commanding presence.

”Your Majesty,” the Imperial Physician quickly performed a bow.

Wen Wu followed suit with a bow, ”Your Majesty.”

The Empress stepped forward, lifting Wen Wu up with concern in her voice, ”Please rise. How is Xiao Zheng? I heard she is well?”

”Xiao Zheng is inside,” Wen Wu said.

”Come with me to see Xiao Zheng,” the Empress said, pulling Wen Wu with her.

Wen Wu dared not dissent and followed the Empress inside.

Chuzheng maintained her previous posture, almost unchanged. Seeing the Empress and Wen Wu enter, she showed no reaction and simply watched calmly.

The Empress’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she revealed a trace of joy and concern. She walked swiftly to the bedside and reached out to pull Chuzheng.

”Let me have a look,” she urged.

Chuzheng dodged, causing the Empress’s hand to miss. She was slightly startled.

However, the Empress showed no reaction, assuming that Chuzheng had just woken up and it was a temporary response.

She spoke a few words of concern, but Chuzheng ignored her.

The Empress asked patiently, ”Where are you feeling unwell, Xiao Zheng? Tell me.”

”I would feel much better if you weren’t here,” Chuzheng finally spoke.

”Xiao Zheng!” Wen Wu chided in a low tone.

The Empress raised her hand, ”The child has just awakened and might be shocked. It’s fine.”

”Your Majesty, you are simply too indulgent with her,” Wen Wu sighed.

The Empress smiled, ”It’s good that Xiao Zheng is fine. This is the best gift from Heaven to me.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

A woman whose words do not match her heart.

She clearly couldn’t wait for me to be dead and gone.

The Empress did not press Chuzheng with too many questions, advising her to rest well and not to think about anything else, and she rewarded her with many gifts.

The Imperial Physician was still kneeling outside, not daring to move at all.

When the Empress came out, she immediately bent her head even lower.

As the door to the inner chamber closed, the Empress finally spoke, ”What’s the issue with Xiao Zheng?”

”Your Majesty, this humble one... this humble one does not know,” the Imperial Physician replied.

”You are an Imperial Physician, how could you not know?” the Empress’s face darkened, ”What exactly happened to Xiao Zheng before? How did you diagnose her?”

The Imperial Physician trembled.

She truly did not know.

And at the time, so many Imperial Physicians had seen her, and she indeed was dead!

But could those words be spoken?

The Imperial Physician could only bow her head in silence.

The Empress, with a stern face, ordered, ”Call all from the Imperial Hospital here, thoroughly examine Xiao Zheng again. Should anything untoward befall Xiao Zheng, none will escape punishment.”
