Chapter 33 The Origin of the Princess's Title of Protector of the Nation!
Princess House.
Physician Chen brought over several medical records and placed them on the table.
The eldest princess, Zhou Wei, Hongxiu, and Ziyu were all inside the room.
Physician Chen pointed to the medical records and said, "These are copies of the medical records of the Duke of Qi's heir when he suffered from a leg ailment."
Zhou Wei curiously opened a book.
The record details when and where Physician Chen visited the Duke of Qi's residence for a consultation, along with the diagnosis and prescription.
Zhou Wei lost interest after flipping through only a few pages.
Actually, she didn't need these at all, but Jiang Yueli was worried and insisted that Physician Chen come to tutor Zhou Wei.
"Aunt, you can ask me anything you want to know."
Zhou Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Was the leg ailment of the Duke of Qi's heir congenital?"
The original book did not provide much information about Qi Jingming, the heir apparent of the Duke of Qi.
Although he is the male protagonist in the story of the Divine Doctor's Daughter, he is essentially a tool!
This is an important part of helping the legitimate daughter of the divine doctor complete the "wife-chasing cremation" process.
Qi Jingming's true love has always been Shen Shuya, the fake legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
However, Shen Shuya later disliked his leg ailment and pushed Shen Shuqing forward to fulfill her marriage agreement.
Shen Shuqing thus became the object of Qi Jingming's resentment!
This play can be considered a branch of the "Divine Doctor's Daughter" trope: "The Substitute Bride of the Crown Prince".
Qi Jingming felt that Shen Shuqing had stolen Shen Shuya's status as the legitimate daughter and insisted on marrying him.
Therefore, ever since they got married, Qi Jingming has never given Shen Shuqing a kind look.
On the second day of their marriage, he brought in three concubines, showing no respect whatsoever to Shen Shuqing, the heir apparent's wife.
This also made it difficult for Shen Shuqing to move around in the Duke's mansion and made managing the household a difficult task.
However, Shen Shuqing was, after all, the heroine of destiny. Relying on her status as the direct descendant of the Divine Doctor Valley, she spent a huge price to finally cure Qi Jingming's leg ailment.
It was during this process that Qi Jingming fell in love with Shen Shuqing.
The storyline of "chasing after his wife" has begun!
In short, the process of the two being together was both physically and emotionally torturous, with Shen Shuya, the fake legitimate daughter, constantly causing trouble.
Despite being constantly misunderstood and hurt by Qi Jingming, Shen Shuqing remained devoted to him and wholeheartedly wanted to cure him.
This was also an important reason why Qi Jingming later fell to the enemy.
He finally saw the resilience and kindness in Shen Shuqing!
He was blinded by greed and deceived by Shen Shuya, a woman with a heart of stone.
When Zhou Wei first saw this part of the story, she complained about it vehemently.
This is simply a story of a scumbag and a bitch.
Qi Jingming is a blind scumbag, and Shen Shuqing likes to torture herself; the two are a perfect match.
Despite Qi Jingming's muddle-headedness, Shen Shuqing, for the sake of his pride, refused to reveal the truth that Shen Shuya had abandoned him because of her leg ailment.
The female protagonist, who seems to live a life of regret, appears to suffer all her torment in order to wait for the day when the other party repents!
It was as if the other person had repented, and all the torment she had suffered had disappeared.
Shen Shuqing took this to the extreme!
Zhou Wei had only one comment on this: Go to hell!
In response to Zhou Wei's question, Physician Chen replied truthfully, "The young master's leg ailment was acquired later in life."
"It shouldn't be damage to the meridians, right?"
Physician Chen shook his head: "It has nothing to do with damage to the meridians."
That's fine!
As long as it's not a problem with the meridians, Zhou Wei's Purple Illumination Divine Needle is more than enough.
In the original storyline, Shen Shuqing once used the Purple Illumination Nine Needles to treat Qi Jingming, but her knowledge of the Purple Illumination Nine Needles was only superficial and had no effect.
This incident caused Qi Jingming to misunderstand her once again, resulting in both physical and emotional torment.
Later, Shen Shuqing asked Wan Qianliang to come out of seclusion, and that's how Qi Jingming was cured.
After Zhou Wei traveled through time, the plot changed somewhat.
For example, the Wanqianliang, which was supposed to appear several years later, has appeared now.
Zhou Wei analyzed that this might be a kind of butterfly effect that occurred after she traveled through time.
"Yes, Physician Chen, I have a general understanding of the young master's condition. Thank you."
Physician Chen's attitude toward Qi Jingming's matter was somewhat strange.
Zhou Wei would ask a question, and he would answer it, seemingly unwilling to get too involved.
Watching Physician Chen pack up his medical records, Zhou Wei suddenly asked, "Physician Chen, the poison in the young master shouldn't be too severe, right?"
These words made Princess Jiang Yueli look at Zhou Wei in surprise.
Doctor Chen paused for a moment, then resumed his normal posture.
"What is Aunt Zhou saying? I don't understand."
Zhou Wei smiled and stopped pressuring him, instead changing the subject: "Doctor Chen is truly meticulous in his work; he even has a copy of all the medical records from so many years ago."
Physician Chen picked up several medical records and said, "I'm used to it, and it's convenient for future reference."
Zhou Wei nodded and casually said, "Leaving a record of work is what I understand."
After Physician Chen left, Jiang Yueli asked, "Zhou Wei, are you saying that the young master's leg ailment is due to poisoning?"
Zhou Wei wasn't quite sure either, but Doctor Chen's behavior was just too strange!
"Princess, Physician Chen is not very old. Why did he resign from his position as head of the academy back then?"
The eldest princess thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I only heard him say that he wanted to study medicine, but the affairs of the palace were too busy, so he resigned from his position as head of the academy and came to the princess's residence..."
At this point, Jiang Yueli stopped and looked at Zhou Wei in surprise.
"You mean, Physician Chen's resignation from the position of head of the hospital might not have been voluntary?"
“He was either coerced, or he discovered the danger and fled the palace to seek refuge!” Zhou Wei said.
Otherwise, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy would be the top official in the Imperial Medical Academy. If there is no danger to his life, who would be willing to give up his power?
Princess Jiang Yueli fell into deep thought.
He carefully recalled the matter of the leg ailment of the Duke of Qi's heir.
After a long pause, he said, "The leg ailment of the Duke of Qi's heir occurred a year later than the damage to my meridians. At that time, everyone said that the heir had suddenly fallen ill, and there was no word of poisoning."
"If the young master was truly poisoned, why would the Duke of Qi's mansion conceal it?"
Hongxiu and Ziyu listened quietly to each other, neither daring to make a sound.
This was the first time either of them had heard of such royal secrets, and their hearts were pounding.
Zhou Wei had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run.
"Princess, the Duke of Qi's mansion is concealing the truth either because they don't know it or because they know it all too well!"
These words made all three of them fall into deep thought.
After a while, he nodded in agreement!
Royal affairs can be incredibly complex, or they can be remarkably simple.
Princess Jiang Yueli said, "It is probably impossible for the Duke's mansion not to know the truth. The fact that Physician Chen is so tight-lipped about this matter shows that any famous doctor could see that the young master is poisoned, but none of them dare to say it."
"There's only one possibility: someone in a high position of power is preventing them from speaking."
"Who exactly is this person?"
Zhou Wei had some guesses in her mind, but she wasn't sure.
We need to make a trip to the Duke of Qi's residence to investigate this matter on-site!
"No matter who is covering this up, I can definitely heal the prince's leg! This will surely disrupt that person's plans, and then the truth will come out."
After discussing the matter of the Duke of Qi's heir, Zhou Wei asked Jiang Yueli about her thoughts at Consort Li's place that day.
"Why were the princess's meridians damaged three years ago?"
This question caused a look of worry to appear on Ziyu and Hongxiu's faces.
"Sister Wei...this matter..."
Inside the princess's residence, no one dared to mention what happened three years ago.
Fearing the princess might not be able to handle the shock!
Princess Jiang Yueli waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I've actually figured it out."
She slowly stood up, picked up the gold medal for protecting the country from the table, and stroked it repeatedly.
There seemed to be a hint of nostalgia in his eyes!
"Zhou Wei, do you know where I got this title of Protector of the Nation?"
This... Zhou Wei really didn't know!
The original plot didn't actually explain much about the background of Princess Jiang Yueli, the protector of the country.
The main point is that she is a scoundrel whom everyone hates.
No one cares why she became a scoundrel.
Seeing that Zhou Wei didn't know, Hongxiu snorted and said smugly, "Although you are the princess's number one, you don't know anything about the princess's past! The title of 'protector of the country' is not easily obtained. If one is not involved in military affairs, how can one claim to protect the country?"
Zhou Wei was somewhat surprised by these words!
Could it be that Princess Jiang Yueli's title of Protector of the Nation was due to her leading troops into battle?
Ziyu added, "In the eighteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princess was only fifteen years old when she went to the battlefield!"
"Four years ago, the Qing Kingdom invaded. The princess led an army of 500,000 to defend against the enemy outside the Jiuju Gorge, blocking the Qing Kingdom's iron cavalry and securing at least ten years of peace for the Great Zhou."
This was truly unbelievable to Zhou Wei.
It turns out that Princess Jiang Yueli was so valiant three years ago!
No wonder the people in the palace all looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
That was a fear etched into my very bones!
After all, Jiang Yueli is not some princess raised in the deep palace, but a real killing god who has been on the battlefield!
But why did the God of Slaughter retire? And how did he become so arrogant and domineering?
Zhou Wei vaguely guessed that it might all be related to the damage to Jiang Yueli's meridians three years ago.
Sure enough, Ziyu continued, "Not many people in the Great Zhou know that the princess is leading troops. After all, the princess is a woman, so on the battlefield, she wears a mask with blue face and fangs."
"The soldiers on the border all know that there is a blue-faced war god in the Great Zhou, but they do not know that it is the eldest princess!"
"Unfortunately, three years ago, when the princess received His Majesty's decree to return to the capital, her entourage was suddenly ambushed when it was almost at the outskirts of the capital."
"Those are a group of top-notch experts. The princess didn't bring many people with her when she returned to the capital, so she couldn't withstand them."
"By the time His Majesty sent people to arrive, the princess's meridians had already been damaged..."
Ziyu choked up and couldn't continue speaking at this point.
After Jiang Yueli's meridians were damaged and she became a cripple, she was truly depressed for a while.
Later, the Emperor of Great Zhou felt sorry for his daughter and bestowed upon her a princess's residence and the title of Princess Protector of the Nation, allowing Jiang Yueli to leave the palace and live alone.
It was from that time onward that Jiang Yueli's mentality became twisted and her personality became increasingly violent.
Until they become cruel, vicious, and universally despised scoundrels!
