The next second, Fan Yunxiao took Bai Chi and jumped lightly onto the beam.

Then someone pushed the door open.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. The elixir of immortality will be ready soon. You only need to wait for good news."

The emperor, who was barely sixty years old, was already extremely skinny and had to use a cane to walk.

When she heard the wizard say that the elixir of immortality was almost ready, her face flushed with excitement.

"Very good! As long as the elixir is refined, I will reward you handsomely!"

Then the wizard brought a bowl of medicine and asked the emperor to drink it.

The emperor was so confident and bold that he took it and started working on it, even a little impatient!

After taking the medicine, his complexion seemed to be much better and he spoke with more energy.

Afterwards, the emperor asked the wizard to explain the process of making the elixir. Seeing that the two would not leave for a while, Fan Yunxiao took advantage of the opportunity when they went to separate and quickly left with Bai Chi.

As soon as they left the palace, Bai Chi hurriedly reminded Fan Yunxiao: "What the emperor just drank was the heart blood of young boys and girls that the wizards sucked out with insects!"

Blood is the dirtiest thing. Doctors must take precautions when performing surgery to avoid blood splashing into their eyes.

Drinking blood directly is simply seeking death!

Especially the blood, which was sucked out from the chests of the men and women who were sleeping with the wizard using insects, and then spit out!

Bai Chi then explained. Fan Yunxiao didn't care at first, but now he felt more and more disgusted and disgusted the more he listened.

However, now was obviously not the time to discuss things, so the two of them quickly went to the Imperial Garden, pretended to walk around a few times, and then left the palace directly.

Fan Yunxiao first sent Bai Chi back to the general's mansion, and then found a few letters, which were the handwritten letters from the three princes who had the greatest chance of succeeding to the throne.

Afterwards, Fan Yunxiao went to find the minister who had contacted him before, while Bai Chi copied the handwriting of the three princes at home.

When Fan Yunxiao came back after discussing the general plan with the ministers, Bai Chi had already carefully selected and rewritten three copies of the notes he had transcribed before, which were the notes for the three princes.

Fan Yunxiao was straightforward and immediately had the information hidden in the residences of the three princes.

Bai Chi had told him that given the emperor's current condition, time was running out, at most half a year, at most three months.

In other words, they needed to get rid of the three princes as soon as possible. They didn't need to die, but they just had to lose the possibility of succeeding to the throne.

Obviously, just the information alone is not enough, and we cannot just take that information to report, it is useless. The information is only for emergency use.

The real plan requires long-term consideration.

The day after Fan Yunxiao agreed, a minister invited him to drink, and it turned out that there were other ministers there too.

According to everyone, the reason for choosing Fan Yunxiao was not only because he was from the same clan as the late queen's mother, but also because the three current princes were indeed not the best candidates in their minds.

Perhaps because they had lived in the capital for a long time, these princes had almost all developed an arrogant and licentious nature. They only thought about pleasing the emperor, and most of them did things just to look good on the surface, and some even sold official positions and titles.

In short, in the eyes of these ministers, if they were really allowed to inherit the throne, the Yuhua Kingdom would be in danger.

At this time, Fan Yunxiao returned to Beijing with numerous military achievements, which undoubtedly gave everyone a fourth choice.

At least compared to the princes who have been living a life of luxury since childhood, have only power in their eyes and are ignorant of the sufferings of the world, Fan Yunxiao, who has fought on the battlefield, is definitely a better choice.

Next, with the efforts of many parties and Bai Chi's subtle moves behind the scenes, Fan Yunxiao gradually regained the emperor's attention.

First, a court official was killed in the Fifth Prince's territory. However, the official was from the Seventh Prince's faction and had just reported the Eighth Prince two days ago.

None of the three parties are willing to let the other party investigate, as no matter who investigates, they may be framed.

During the debate, someone mentioned the Ninth Prince Fan Yunxiao, who had been eating, drinking and accompanying his wife in the general's mansion since returning to Beijing.

He had just returned to Beijing and had no connection with any forces, making him the best person to investigate the case.

The three princes had no objection, so the important task fell on the reluctant ninth prince.

Of course he was reluctant, because he was the one who killed the man, and even those who secretly supported him didn't know.

It was Bai Chi who specially selected this person through Xiao Hei.

Even though this man is just a small official, the things he handles are not small.

He was in charge of the docks outside the capital, and all goods entering and leaving here had to be approved by him before they could enter or leave the capital.

If someone smuggles some prohibited items, he must let them in before they can successfully enter the capital.

Every year, large amounts of offerings were presented to the princes from various places, including various contraband.

As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Because of this, this person can make a lot of money every year, and even deliberately makes things difficult for ordinary merchant ships.

In short, he did all kinds of bullying against men and women, and even forced two young girls to death.

But because he had the prince as his backer, no one dared to touch him.

Even if there were occasional impeachment memorials, they were artificially withdrawn before they were even presented to the emperor.

Such a scum deserved to be put to death, so after Bai Chi chose him, Fan Yunxiao took care of him personally without thinking.

The body was thrown openly at the dock and was seen by countless people at dawn. The news quickly spread, so even if someone wanted to suppress the matter, they couldn't.

Less than an hour after Fan Yunxiao received the order, he received messages from his three royal brothers. The general idea was to suggest that he should not cause trouble, and try to make a big thing small, or a small thing nothing.

He even reminded Fan Yunxiao that it would be best to find a boatman who had been bullied by that man to take the blame and get the matter over with as soon as possible.

Fan Yunxiao nodded in agreement in person, and then used the clues given to him by Bai Chi to quickly follow the clues and found out that the three princes were secretly accepting offerings from local officials.

The murderer is not important at all. He killed the person himself. Can he give himself up?

He's not really stupid.

Within less than ten days, the case of the prince's bribery involving the dead official was brought before the emperor.

Just as the three royal brothers were begging for mercy and hating Fan Yunxiao in their hearts, and the emperor was also willing to let his three sons go, another shocking incident was reported to the court.

The prefect who delivered tributes to the Fifth Prince was found to be illegally mining iron ore and forging weapons in his territory. The Fifth Prince's emblem was also found in the iron ore!

When the news came out, the fifth prince was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. It was obvious that this was true.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the fifth prince's mansion. They actually found the dragon robe. In comparison, the notes on the elixir of immortality that Fan Yunxiao had someone hide seemed insignificant.

Half a month after the Ninth Prince returned to the capital, the Fifth Prince completely lost his inheritance rights.
