Chapter 775: Personality Change
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Qiao only felt a little uncomfortable. Compared to before, this degree of discomfort was nothing to her.
If she wanted to stay, Xie Pinggang would not try to persuade her and let her do as she pleased.
Dong Xiyun was scared to tears. She was so pitiful.
“Your Highness, this is my daughter. She committed suicide and passed away. Isn’t the criminal division… too involved?” Master Dong’s voice was a little weak, but he could not help but ask.
“Your daughter is Minister Xie’s fiancee. Since he reported the case, the criminal division should take it seriously.” Zhao Xuanjing did not give Master Dong any face.
When Master Dong heard that, he was helpless and speechless.
Fiancee?
She was indeed engaged, but she was not married yet, right?! What right did Xie Pinggang have to interfere in this matter?!
“Then… Your Highness, the coroner has also examined the body. My daughter wasn’t poisoned and there are no wounds on her body. Will this case be closed now?” Master Dong asked again.
He thought he had already behaved quite humbly.
The Crown Prince would not go so far as to make things difficult for him, right?
“Someone, go to the hospital and get a few imperial physicians over,” Zhao Xuanjing said again.
Master Dong was a little confused. “Your Highness, my daughter has already passed away. Inviting the imperial physicians over… What is that for?”
No matter how capable the imperial physicians were, it was impossible for them to bring her back from the dead!
Zhao Xuanjing’s attitude was cold. “Master Dong, the one who died was your daughter after all. Your daughter died so tragically. As a father, you should pay more attention to it. You should at least find out the truth and let her die in peace.”
What he said was indeed reasonable. Master Dong just had a bad feeling in his heart.
This young lady was his biological child. How could he not feel sorry for her?
It was just that… If some things were exposed, he was afraid that it would hurt his own family!
Master Dong could not explain these words clearly.
He could only invite the Crown Prince and Young Lady Xie to sit down and wait.
Not long after, the imperial physicians came over and respectfully greeted the Crown Prince, Zhao Xuanjing then said, “Imperial Physician Wei, is there any medicine in this world that can cause a person’s personality to change drastically? They are worried about gains and losses, as if they have lost their mind, crying and making a racket?”
When Xie Pinggang heard that, he hurriedly nodded. “That’s right. This person clearly just made a happy engagement with me. There’s no way she would go back on her word and commit suicide the next day!”
He was indeed a person who did not care about his reputation, but if this were to be revealed, his reputation would be terrible!
Could it be that he, Xie Pinggang, would not be able to marry a wife? It was clear that he did not want to marry!
And now, the wife that had delivered herself to him had actually committed suicide. This was simply a joke!
Imperial Physician Wei thought for a moment and replied, “There are quite a number of calming pills in this world. Naturally, there are some that make people feel uneasy. However, doctors usually pay attention to medical ethics and would not easily make such a thing unless they are a traveling doctor. From what I know, there is an item called the silver ring powder. It is made using the method of alchemy. If it is consumed, the person will die immediately. Even if the symptoms are mild, it will still cause the person to feel unstable…
“Before I entered the hospital, I received a patient. This person had taken the silver ring powder. His personality was originally gentle, but after taking it, he became extremely irritable overnight. He couldn’t be stimulated, or he would immediately go crazy. Sometimes he would cry, sometimes he would be sad, sometimes he would be in a trance, and his memory would be damaged. Due to the headache, he couldn’t help but want to die.”
After Imperial Physician Wei finished speaking, Second Young Lady Dong’s maid servant was already stunned.
“E-Ever since our young lady got engaged, she had been like that. Sometimes she laughed and sometimes she cried, but she cried more often. From time to time, she would even rub her head and said that she had a headache and didn’t feel well….”
