Xiao Qingyin frowned.

Yi Shuihan's condition is similar to Niu'er's, but the blockage in his brain is much more severe, and it will probably take him several days to recover.

However, he is still better than the Marquis of Yong'an.

Thinking of Marquis Yong'an, she couldn't help but rub her forehead.

The father suffers from amnesia, the son from dementia; the Yi family has truly had a tumultuous fate.

Could it be that someone has performed a ritual on our ancestral graves?

However, Yi Shuihan's suffering was inextricably linked to Situ Ming and the group of men in black.

Thinking of Situ Ming, who was struck by lightning but survived, her eyes turned slightly cold.

Just you wait, she'll definitely get her revenge.

After returning to the city, she spread the news that Yi Shuihan had gone out with Situ Ming to sign a contract, encountered assassins, and fell off a cliff and lost his mind.

Less than half a day after the news spread, the emperor summoned Yi Shuihan to the palace.

After returning to the city, Yi Shuihan clung to Xiao Qingyin and refused to go back to the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

Now that she's entering the palace, it's natural that we'll have to drag her along.

The two met the emperor together.

The emperor was initially skeptical, thinking that Yi Shuihan might be feigning madness to escape the crime of assassinating Situ Ming, so he specially ordered the imperial physician to examine him.

It turned out to be true.

His suspicions instantly shifted to Situ Ming.

After all, the signing location was chosen by Situ Ming, and Yi Shuihan went with him but got into trouble. It would be hard to say that he had nothing to do with it.

He was indeed hostile towards Yi Shuihan, and had whispered in his ear several times.

Unfortunately, he was more trouble than he was worth; he tried to do something but failed, and ended up provoking Yi Shuihan for no reason.

He was so tired that he still had to apologize on his behalf.

"...The Crown Prince's rashness has implicated General Yi, and I am truly sorry. I have prepared a gift to apologize. Also, if any imperial physician is needed, just bring them over..."

Xiao Qingyin accepted the apology on behalf of Yi Shuihan, but she did not intend to let Situ Ming off the hook.

"Your Majesty, being struck by lightning is divine retribution. The Crown Prince's misconduct has led to this calamity. After this ordeal, his health will be difficult to recover. Your Majesty would be best to make plans as soon as possible."
