After checking the records, the chief eunuch confirmed that the bow and arrow numbered "Two" was indeed used by the Seventh Prince for this hunting trip, and that the bow and arrow numbered "Twenty-Five" was indeed used by the Sixth Princess.

All right.

"The bow and arrow are no problem." The eunuch replied respectfully.

The emperor's expression grew even darker.

"This is impossible." The Seventh Prince muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief, "Something must have gone wrong!"

Xie Feichi sneered and said sarcastically: "The facts are in front of us, what else can be wrong!"

The Seventh Prince clenched his fists and looked at Xie Feichi with hatred in his eyes.

Xie Feichi smiled back at him with a fake smile.

"I figured it out!" The Seventh Prince's face suddenly realized something, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. "The second arrow was not shot over there. Someone picked up the arrow that the Sixth Princess shot and dropped on the ground, and then stabbed it in with his hand!"

As he spoke, he could not help but burst into laughter, and then pointed at Xie Feichi and the others, "Do you think that doing this can help the Sixth Princess cover up her brother-killing crime? How naive! The wound caused by shooting is different from the wound caused by stabbing directly. As long as we find a doctor who can treat these beasts, we can expose your lies!"

He thought he had found a breakthrough, and he laughed so hard that the wound on his face was pulled, and blood came out of his mouth again.

This made the originally ugly face look even more hideous.

"I beg you to find a doctor who can differentiate between arrow wounds and stab wounds." Yiqing's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was steady, "I hope this will clear my name."

The smile on the Seventh Prince's face froze, and he looked at Yiqing in shock as if he had seen a ghost.

"You actually offered to find a doctor. Aren't you afraid that your lie will be exposed? Even if I don't know where the second arrow in the pheasant came from, don't you know it either?"

In his expectation, the Sixth Princess should be trying every means to prevent the doctor from appearing at this moment, for fear that her lies would be exposed.

But why didn't she look panicked?

Not only that, she also took the initiative to ask a doctor to prove her innocence...

Things were beyond expectations, and the Seventh Prince began to feel uneasy.

"I see, you said that on purpose. You must be faking it!"

He raised his voice, and his tone was a little strange. It didn't sound like he was talking to Yiqing, but more like he was confirming a guess of his own.

"Do you think this will paralyze me and stop me from looking for a doctor? Ha, I won't fall for it!"

At this point, he has no way out.

His only hope was to find a doctor to identify the pheasant's wounds.

Since both of them said they wanted to see a doctor, the emperor called a royal physician over.

The imperial physician was suddenly called in, and he didn't know what was going on.

After looking around, he walked towards the Seventh Prince with a clear purpose, his hand already on the medicine box, intending to use medicine to treat his wounds.

But just when he was halfway there, he heard the emperor ask in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Where are you going? The pheasant is over there!"

The imperial physician paused and looked at the emperor in confusion.

What's that over there? Where is that over there?

The Seventh Prince is the only one here with a wound on his face. Isn’t he called here to treat the Seventh Prince’s injury?

The imperial physician had many questions in his mind, and he did not dare to ask the emperor directly, so he turned to the eunuch who was not far away for help, "Eunuch..."

The chief eunuch was also willing to do him a favor and whispered, "Doctor Zhang, His Majesty summoned you here to see whether the wound on the pheasant was caused by shooting or stabbing with a bow and arrow."

Doctor Zhang was even more confused.

He followed the direction the eunuch pointed and indeed saw a pheasant, and finally confirmed that he had not heard wrongly.

His Majesty called him here not to treat a patient, but to see a chicken.

Imperial Physician Zhang subconsciously glanced at the Seventh Prince, wondering: Here was a man standing there with injuries, and he was not asked to treat them, but was asked to look at a dead pheasant...

I've never heard that the Seventh Prince is unfavored, so how come he is even worse than a chicken now?

"What are you dithering about?" Seeing that Doctor Zhang didn't move for a long time, the emperor became a little impatient. "Can you take a look? If not, get someone else!"

Doctor Zhang felt a chill on his back and immediately responded, "Sure! I'll take a look right away!"

If the chicken is sick today and he is asked to come over to treat it, he may not know what to do.

But now he is not asked to treat the chickens, he is just asked to see how the wound was caused, which is no different from treating a person.

The principle is the same anyway.

Doctor Zhang took a closer look and said with certainty, "Neither of the two wounds was caused by direct stabbing. They were caused by shooting. It's just that the force used was different, so the depth of the wound is slightly different."

The answer was as expected, and Yiqing's expression did not change.

The Seventh Prince was right about one thing—others might not know what the second arrow was about, but as the one who did it, she certainly knew it clearly.

In the hunting grounds, even the Seventh Prince didn't dare to kill anyone, so how could she possibly do something that would put herself at a disadvantage?

She just couldn't stand the Seventh Prince showing off in front of her and threatening her with the metaphor of a pheasant, so she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Although the arrow was shot at the Seventh Prince, she knew that the Seventh Prince had a chance to dodge, so the final target of the arrow was the half-dead pheasant.

Wasn't he implying that the prey he had his eyes on was out of reach of others?

Then she had to snatch it away for him to see!

Originally, I just wanted to scare him and let him know that I was not someone to be trifled with. Just give him a warning.

Just at that time, a group of people came over, and the Seventh Prince was particularly impulsive today, and he also raised his bow and arrow towards her...

This was a godsend opportunity for her to remove a major obstacle on her road to the throne.

She didn't even hesitate, and immediately chose to go with the flow and continue the show that had already begun.

Then, what happened next.

The development of the matter was basically consistent with her expectations. Even if the dog emperor intentionally favored his son, it would not be appropriate for him to go too far in front of everyone.

Yiqing curled the corner of his mouth slightly, feeling quite happy.

If she was happy, the Seventh Prince would not be happy.

"How is this possible? How could they all be shot?"

The Seventh Prince could not accept this result. He quickly walked up to Doctor Zhang, grabbed his collar, and pushed him towards the direction of the pheasant.

"You old fool, look carefully for this prince! One of the arrows was clearly stabbed by someone, how come you can't see it with your old eyes?"

The imperial physician was startled at first, and then became angry.

Although he was old, he was also stubborn. He refused to change his words at this time, "It was a wound caused by shooting!"
