The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 665: Could Hear The Empress Dowager Scream

"Imperial Father, do you hear that? It is grandmother shouting." Liu Shun stated.

The emperor rushed over to kick the door. However, the force that he used on the door rebounded and hit him, forcing him to stumble back and fall on the ground.

"This..." The emperor could not understand.

"Your Majesty, there is an array surrounding this courtyard." A minister stated.

"An array? Why is this here?" The emperor frowned.

"But there is something weird about this array. A normal array did not attack their attacker back." Another minister chimed in.

Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng looked at each other. It was his daughter/sister’s doing. There was no doubt about that.

The empress dowager screamed again. The Emperor turned to look at the room again.

"Imperial Father, you have to save the grandmother from that girl. I am sure that girl tortured Grandmother." Liu Shun put oil in the burning flame.

"Go and call an array master." The emperor ordered.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng completely stood aside. The emperor tried to call someone inside multiple times, but no one inside answered.

"General Bai, you better explain to me why your daughter came to the Jasmine Palace to torture the empress dowager." The emperor turned to Bai Xiang and asked Bai Xiang.

"Your Majesty, do you think my daughter has too much time to come here and torture His Highness?" Bai Xiang asked the emperor back.

"Then, what is she doing?" The emperor threw the question again.

This time, Bai Xiang did not answer the emperor’s question. He turned to Li Shun and asked something.

"Your Highness, the sixth princess, where do you hear that my daughter comes here to torture Her Highness the empress dowager?" Bai Xiang inquired.

"Well... That... I..." The Sixth Princess stammered in her words.

"Answer it!" Bai Tingfeng was flustered by the sixth princess’s behaviour.

"I heard from Grandmother’s pharmacist. She went to the Royal Pharmacy and talked about that to Pharmacist Xiang." Li Shun answered it in one sentence.

Her face was flushed red. This was the first time that Bai Tingfeng talked to her.

"Your Majesty, let’s call the person that Her Highness mentioned earlier for more details. I can not let my daughter bear this accusation." Bai Xiang said.

The emperor was still for a moment and then signalled the eunuch about that. Eunuch Ming, who had already stayed by the emperor’s side, immediately understood what the emperor wanted. He immediately asked another eunuch to go and invite Li Baozhai here.

They could hear from time to time the empress dowager’s scream. They were curious about what happened inside the room.

Many of the royal family members heard about the incident and went to Jasmine Palace to find out what had happened. The crown prince and the second prince arrived at the same time.

Both of them heard the empress dowager. They rushed inside, wanting to enter the courtyard but being blocked by the array.

"What is this?" The second prince punched the array.

The array rebounded the attack, and it punched the second prince’s back. The second prince stumbled back. He was surprised.

"Greetings, Imperial Father." The crown prince saw the emperor and greeted the emperor.

The second prince also realised it and immediately greeted the emperor. "Greetings, Imperial Father."

"Father, what happens to Grandmother?" The crown prince asked.

"We still don’t know the details." The emperor wanted to accuse Bai Xifeng, but when he saw Bai Xiang staring at him, he changed the words.

Not only that, Li Baozhai arrived. Xiang Shanyuan also arrived. Both of them greeted the royal family members.

"You are the empress dowager’s pharmacist, right?" The emperor looked at Li Baozhai.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Baozhai answered.

"I heard that you went to see Pharmacist Xiang and told him about Lady Bai harming the empress dowager. Explain. What actually happened?" The emperor questioned Li Baozhai.

Li Baozhai was slightly trembled. She could not help but tell the truth.

"Actually, Her Highness, the empress dowager, has an illness in her heart. It had been a while. If it is not being treated, Her Highness the Empress Dowager might lose her life in five years. Pharmacist He Qiang and I have tried for a long time to treat her highness, the empress dowager. However, the required elixirs are very hard to obtain. One needs rare materials, and another one is a lost recipe. So, it was

Then, Lady Bai comes and tells her highness, the empress dowager, that she has the elixir and wants to treat Her Highness the Empress Dowager. How can Lady Bai conveniently have both of them? This humble one tried to ask her highness, the empress dowager, to consider, but she did not listen to me. Even the Pharmacist He Qiang sided with Lady Bai.

Because of that, I went to tell Pharmacist Xiang about that. I might choose the wrong word while explaining things to Pharmacist Xiang, saying Lady Bai is harming Her Highness the Empress Dowager."

Li Baozhai ended her speech. She glanced at the emperor to see his reaction.

"Is it true, Pharmacist Xiang?" The emperor asked Xiang Shanyuan.

Xiang Shanyuan nodded and spoke out. "Indeed, Pharmacist Li came to me telling me that Lady Bai is harming Her Highness the Empress Dowager, but earlier, she did not explain it in detail to me. She just mentioned Lady Bai harming Her Highness the Empress Dowager. That’s all."
