No one knew where or how this news came from, but it quickly spread throughout the capital!

It was not only spread among the upper class in the capital, but also became a hot topic among the people.

Many people thought back and thought, yes, after the Empress Dowager passed away, Concubine Yan no longer had anything to fear? The one who benefited the most was Concubine Yan!

Imperial Physician Yu has always been solely responsible for treating the Empress Dowager. Unless he is crazy, how could he possibly murder the Empress Dowager?

But he did just that, and soon committed suicide. Afterwards, the Yu family was exiled. According to rumors at the time, because of the guilt over the incident and unable to endure the hardship, all members of the Yu family died one after another on the way to exile.

But if you think about it carefully, is this "death" a normal death, or is it a death that was eradicated by someone?

No matter how you think about it, the latter is more likely!

As long as all the members of the Yu family died, wouldn't no one ever mention the past again?

Sure enough, after all these years, who still remembers Old Doctor Yu?

Unexpectedly, the law of justice is so strict that nothing can escape it. Doctor Yu's grandson, who is an outstanding medical practitioner, actually escaped the disaster and came back!

I heard that Doctor Yu was almost assassinated before. Now that I think about it, it was definitely not a coincidence. Someone definitely wanted to wipe out the roots!

Ever since the last teahouse incident, the emperor has specially dispatched several secret guards to collect various intelligence in the capital and report every three days.

Therefore, when the news spread, the emperor knew about it very quickly.

The emperor was suddenly dumbfounded, his mind went blank.

The sudden death of his mother was an eternal pain in his heart. Whenever he thought of it, he would feel a tightness in his chest. Even though he was the emperor, he was helpless. This was it.

The emperor had to admit that the rumors outside actually sounded quite reasonable.

Concubine Yan was extremely frightened, both afraid and angry.

She also didn't expect that after so many years, she thought the matter had been suppressed forever and would never cause any more waves, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xiang and Yu Xiaofang who returned to Beijing would turn the matter upside down.

If I had known earlier, I should have used the same trick again to kill Zhao Xiang and eliminate this trouble forever!

It’s too late to say anything now!

Concubine Yan couldn't wait for the emperor to come and question her, so she took off her hairpins and put on plain clothes and ran to the Qianqing Palace, where she knelt down and cried out for justice.

This is all she can do now.

The emperor also knew that she would definitely come here.

It’s impossible not to come for such a big thing.

It will definitely be like this when I come.

Are you admitting it if you don't plead guilty and complain?

It's just a gesture.

The emperor knows it very well.

So, I also find it boring.

He didn't take Concubine Yan's attitude seriously.

He has already ordered a secret investigation into this matter. If his mother was really murdered, he will never forgive her easily, no matter who it is.

The emperor said a few words like "the innocent will be innocent" indifferently, and then sent Concubine Yan away.

At this moment, he himself was shocked and angry, so it was impossible for him to comfort Concubine Yan. No one was more important than himself, not even Concubine Yan.

It just so happened that he wanted to see what Concubine Yan would think of his attitude and what she would do.

Concubine Yan originally thought that the emperor would comfort her and express his trust in her, but who knew...nothing! Nothing at all!

What do you mean by "the innocent are innocent"? But the problem is that she is not innocent at all!

What if it's unclear? What will the Emperor do?

Given the emperor's temper, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

what to do.

Before, Imperial Concubine Yan was very confident that even if the Emperor conducted a thorough investigation, he would never find anything. But now she didn't dare to think so.

Yu Xiaofang is a fish that slipped through the net, he brings too many variables!

Any variable is fatal.

But soon, Concubine Yan, who had calmed down, was sure that Yu Xiaofang probably did not have any evidence in his hands, otherwise, he would have handed it over to the emperor long ago.

But who knows, maybe he feels the time is not yet ripe?

Concubine Yan was extremely upset. The only thing she could be sure of was that Yu Xiaofang must die.

Assassination is impossible, so let's kill him openly.

Concubine Yan did not dare to make it public. She secretly contacted the Second Prince through her own secret channels and ordered the Second Prince to personally lead people to kill Yu Xiaofang.

The second prince was shocked when he received the news from his mother. He thought his mother must have gone crazy!

Of course he also knew the news, and he hated Yu Xiaofang and Zhao Xiang very much. Like his mother, he was also terrified.

He also wanted Yu Xiaofang to die, but was this man so easy to kill?

It's hard to guarantee success in assassinations, so how can you kill in public?

The Second Prince complained to his uncle, but Marquis Cheng'en thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Queen's idea is excellent! Others can't do this, but Your Highness can."

The second prince looked puzzled: "Speak clearly!"

Marquis Cheng'en chuckled and said, "Your Highness has always been straightforward, without all the twists and turns. If Your Highness is convinced that this rumor was spread by Yu Xiaofang, and is angry that he framed the Imperial Concubine, and is angry and calls him to task, and accidentally kills her, then what's wrong with that? As a son, Your Highness, what's wrong with acting according to your nature?"

Even if the emperor was furious, he would just scold him.

Moreover, the more upright Your Highness is, the more it shows that Your Highness has a clear conscience, doesn't it?

The Second Prince's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say happily, "That's quite true! After all, you're Mother. This is a great idea, let's do it! Humph, I've been wanting to give them a good fight for a long time, and this is perfect. I think it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Today, I'm going to kill that bastard!"

Marquis Cheng'en agreed: "Taking the enemy by surprise is not bad at all. This kind of thing doesn't require any planning anyway. The more spontaneous you act, the better the results."

The emperor's health has almost recovered, so it doesn't matter even if Yu Xiaofang dies.

"Uncle is right!"

The second prince sneered grimly, his blood boiling, and immediately sent someone to investigate.

Yu Xiaofang should be in the palace taking his father's pulse at this time. Once he leaves the palace, that will be the day of his death!

Although rumors were rife in the capital, and there were even rumors that Yu Xiaofang had taken the opportunity of examining the emperor's pulse to kneel down and complain about his grievances, begging the emperor to make a decision, these were all nonsense. Yu Xiaofang was always with the judges and had no chance to talk to the emperor alone, so how could he complain?

Although the atmosphere has been solemn and depressing in recent days, no one dared to stop until the emperor ordered them to do so. They still went to the palace every day to check the emperor's pulse as usual.

The emperor was really patient and didn't ask Yu Xiaofang a single question, as if nothing had happened.

He still trusted Yu Xiaofang very much and rewarded him almost every day.

I don’t know if this is a reward for the medical consultation or a reward for giving him peace of mind.
