"Mo Li," he called out. "Go and invite Uncle Zhu here."
Even if Feng Linyuan himself couldn't tell the fragrance on Bai Zheng's body, Uncle Zhu, as a doctor, was always familiar with such things.
Hearing Feng Linyuan's order, Feng Linhuai, the Prince Yi, quickly guessed something and asked loudly, "A Yuan, have you noticed something amiss?"
The Prince Yi's voice was quite loud, which instantly silenced everyone. They all turned to look at Feng Linyuan.
Feng Linyuan understood what the Prince Yi meant. He gave a faint smile and nodded. "Liu Feng wouldn't attack Zheng'er for no reason. I smell a strange fragrance on Zheng'er. It seems that someone has put something on her, which attracted Liu Feng."
"What did they put?" the Prince Wen on the other side immediately exclaimed. "So, it's certain that someone is trying to frame the Marquis?"
When the Prince Wen said this, his eyes were filled with mockery as he stared at Prime Minister Chu and Feng Jingye. His expression was quite meaningful, which made Prime Minister Chu's face turn ashen with anger.
On the upper seat, Feng Linche frowned tightly and slowly said, "It seems that Prime Minister Chu wrongly accused the wolf raised by the Marquis of Dingyuan?"
Feng Linyuan seemed not to notice the hidden meaning in Feng Linche's words at all. He just replied sincerely, "Your subject is utterly loyal to Your Majesty. Heaven and earth can bear witness. Under my careful upbringing, Liu Feng has always been gentle and obedient. It would never attack people on its own initiative unless there was a misunderstanding. There are many doubts about today's incident. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to prove my innocence."
"How do you plan to prove your innocence?" Feng Linche asked.
"Invite a doctor to verify whether there is a strange fragrance on Zheng'er's body."
"Invite a doctor?" Remembering that Feng Linyuan had sent Mo Li out to call someone just now, Prime Minister Chu immediately sneered. "Which doctor? The doctor from your Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion?"
Feng Linyuan seemed not to hear his mockery. He just glanced at the people in the hall calmly and replied, "If the Prime Minister is not at ease with Uncle Zhu, I see that there are several imperial physicians in my Marquis's Mansion today. How about inviting them all out to conduct the verification together?"
Seeing Feng Linyuan's confident look, Prime Minister Chu found it extremely annoying. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Those who came to attend the ceremony today must be on good terms with you, Marquis. Who knows if they will speak up for you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Linyuan didn't show any reaction, but several old imperial physicians present were enraged. They blew their beards and glared, not caring if it was disrespectful to their superiors. They pointed straight at Prime Minister Chu's nose and roared, "I'm too disdainful to engage in such favoritism! Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, Bai Zheng covered her lips and gave a soft laugh.
"What are you laughing at, Zheng'er?" Feng Linyuan asked gently.
Bai Zheng glanced at him. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her voice was as melodious as a warbler's. "Hearing what the Prime Minister said, I was thinking that His Majesty also came to attend the ceremony today..."
Prime Minister Chu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
He had spoken rashly just now, saying that those who came to attend the ceremony were on good terms with Feng Linyuan. The implication was clearly that "as long as you come to attend the ceremony, you will cover up for Feng Linyuan."
Wasn't he scolding Feng Linche, who was also in the hall, as well?
Feng Linche's face immediately darkened, and a storm was brewing in his eyes.
The Queen Chu, who knew her husband's temper well, knew that something was wrong when she saw this. She quickly tried to change the topic for her father and said to Feng Linyuan, "What the Marquis means is that someone sprinkled some medicine on the new madam, which made that vicious wolf rush in and attack people?"
"Exactly," Feng Linyuan nodded.
The Queen Chu gave a cold laugh and stared at him closely. "Then how can the Marquis prove that this medicine wasn't sprinkled on the new madam by you just now when the chaos broke out?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Linyuan still looked calm. He replied, "It seems that Her Majesty the Queen is worried about this? This matter is actually quite simple.
If it was me who sprinkled it, then let the doctors check me as well.
But just now, in order to protect Zheng'er, I held her in my arms. It's inevitable that there will be a little bit of the fragrance on my outer clothes, so it's hard to tell.
But if I really wanted to hide that spice, I would definitely hide it inside my clothes. Then, as long as they check whether there is this fragrance on my inner clothes, they will know."
Feng Linyuan's words had taken all possibilities into consideration, which left the Queen Chu speechless for a moment.
She had no choice but to wave her hand. "Since the Marquis has proposed it himself, all you imperial physicians, you must examine carefully later. Don't engage in favoritism because of the Marquis of Dingyuan's status!"
The several imperial physicians present sighed in unison.
They had originally planned to attend the wedding banquet nicely. They didn't expect that just after they had watched the wedding ceremony, they were almost scared out of their wits by the white wolf that suddenly rushed in. Now they were involved in the whirlpool of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion. They were really unlucky.
But thinking of what Prime Minister Chu had said just now, these old imperial physicians were still angry.
Favoritism? It was out of the question!
As imperial physicians, they would only conduct the examination and speak the truth truthfully. They would never be bought off by anyone!
After the scene was cleaned up, Uncle Zhu rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he first checked on Liu Feng's condition. He gave it a pill and moved it to the corner to rest. Then he walked to the side of the several imperial physicians.
Bai Zheng went behind the screen. Under the supervision of the people sent by the Queen Chu, she took off her red wedding dress and sent it out for the several imperial physicians to examine.
Then it was Feng Linyuan's turn to change his inner clothes. The little eunuch beside Feng Linche carried it to the hands of the several imperial physicians.
When the several imperial physicians were examining Feng Linyuan's inner clothes, they sniffed and sniffed, then looked at each other and shook their heads.
But when they faced Bai Zheng's wedding dress, they all looked puzzled, stroking their beards and frowning deeply.
"Old Zhang, is it...?" One of the imperial physicians with relatively less white hair said as he looked uncertainly at the one with the whitest beard.
The old imperial physician Zhang's turbid eyes were full of thought. He pondered for a long time and nodded extremely slowly. "I also think it should be it."
The several imperial physicians seemed to have reached a consensus, but they still looked at Feng Linyuan's inner clothes somewhat uncertainly. "It's really hard to say whether there is that fragrance on the Marquis's clothes..."
These people were really old. Their sense of smell was not very sensitive. It was okay to determine the things they could smell, but for the things they didn't smell, it was hard to say whether there was really no fragrance on the inner clothes or it was just because they didn't smell it.
Seeing their worried looks, Uncle Zhu said with a low laugh, "I have a way."
"What way?" The several old imperial physicians immediately looked at him hopefully.
Uncle Zhu smiled slightly and patted the shoulder of the little eunuch who had carried the inner clothes here. "You put on that clothes and walk in front of Liu Feng."
"Ah?" The little eunuch was greatly shocked.
Although Liu Feng was listless now, it didn't mean that he dared to provoke that majestic white wolf!
