Wei Sanchuan and Liu Mingyuan's expressions were very complicated, with anger at learning the truth and incredible astonishment.
Who would have thought that Wei Han, who seemed to be keeping a low profile and protecting himself, actually investigated so much in private.
Wei Sanchuan looked at Wei Han in amazement and said, "Father, I didn't expect you to have discovered so much without making any noise."
"Ah, what does it matter if I found out all this? I'm still resentful in my heart. I chose her so carefully, but I still made a mistake and ruined Yu'er's life." Wei Han cried and pounded his chest with his fists in regret.
"Grandpa, don't do this!" Liu Mingyuan ran over, grabbed Wei Han's hand, his eyes red.
Xia Zhengqi's eyes were full of concern: "Mr. Wei, please take care of yourself."
"Since things have come to this, I might as well say it clearly."
Xia Zhengqi sat up straight and said word by word, "I came here today just to target Liu Hong."
When Wei Han and his two grandchildren heard these words, their eyes lit up at the same time and they all looked at Xia Zhengqi.
"In fact, I have already discovered some clues and suspected that Liu Hong was colluding with Grand Tutor Jiang. Moreover, his wife's sudden death four years ago was very suspicious."
"If the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel collude, and if they have any rebellious thoughts..." Xia Zhengqi paused.
"For the Great Xia Empire, this is a huge crisis!"
Wei Han and Wei Sanchuan looked at Xia Zhengqi as if they had suddenly realized something, their bodies trembling slightly with excessive excitement.
"Your Majesty, in fact, I have been secretly investigating Liu Hong over the years!" Wei Sanchuan said with tears in his eyes.
"I have discovered that he has committed many acts of corruption and abuse of power."
"Just say it!" Xia Zhengqi's tone was encouraging.
Wei Sanchuan opened his lips, glanced at Liu Mingyuan, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, can you promise me?"
"No matter what Liu Hong did, don't implicate Yuan'er. Yuan'er is innocent!"
Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Okay, I promise you, go ahead."
After hearing Xia Zhengqi's promise, the worry on Wei Sanchuan's face disappeared.
"In the two years since he took office as Minister of War, he has embezzled military pay, secretly sold military rations, enriched himself, and even secretly stored a large amount of weapons in his palace."
"I have also found Yu'er's former maid and the doctor who treated her at the time."
[You, the Wei family, are amazing! You've quietly uncovered so much!]
Xia Miaoyuan stared with a pair of big dark eyes and couldn't help but complain.
[Hey, tell me, since you guys have already found out, why didn't you tell me earlier?]
[I remember that in the book, the Wei family was a very cowardly family.]
First, the youngest daughter was killed by Liu Hong. Later, Liu Hong teamed up with Grand Tutor Jiang to destroy the Wei family.
[It seems this person, blindly tolerating others, can't protect himself, and will only make others become more aggressive! ]
Xia Zhengqi listened to his daughter's heartfelt words and nodded in agreement.
Looking up and seeing the Wei family members looking at him, Xia Zhengqi hurriedly said to cover up: "I didn't expect that you, the Wei family father and son, are so capable."
"Where are they now? I want to summon them for questioning."
Wei Sanchuan said, "Yu'er had two maids who served her closely. When she died, Liu Hong was afraid they would reveal the secret, so he sold them off overnight."
"After a long search, I finally found one of the maids named Xiaohong and quietly arranged for her to stay in the Wei Mansion."
"After the incident, the two doctors who treated Yu'er moved their families to other places because they were afraid that Liu Hong would kill them."
"However, I have already found them and know where they live."
Wei Han gave Wei Sanchuan an approving look.
Xia Zhengqi said in a clear voice, "Okay, Sanchuan, call that maid over for questioning now. Then send someone to fetch those two doctors back to the capital immediately."
"Debao!" Xia Zhengqi turned his head.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital now and bring Doctor An to the Ministry of Justice. Let them interrogate him about the true circumstances of his diagnosis of Wei Yu'er."
Wei Sanchuan and Debao immediately accepted the order.
Xia Zhengqi looked at the prince and said, "Cheng Wan, I have written you a handwritten order. You are to take the coroner from the Ministry of Justice to the Liu Hong family's ancestral tomb and examine Wei Yu'er's body to see if she died of poisoning."
"When you find out the results, report to me immediately."
As Xia Zhengqi spoke, he picked up the pen and ink beside him, quickly wrote a note, and handed it to the prince.
The prince stood up, stuffed Xia Miaoyuan into Xia Zhengqi's arms, and immediately took the order and went to do the work.
[Wow, what a handsome emperor daddy!]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Xia Zhengqi's series of actions and couldn't help but praise him.
Within a quarter of an hour, the maid named Xiaohong was brought to the main hall.
She suppressed her nervousness and saluted Xia Zhengqi tremblingly.
"Are you the maid who served Wei Yuer personally back then?" Xia Zhengqi asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Xiaohong, and I am the Third Young Lady's personal maid." Xiaohong's voice trembled a little.
Xia Zhengqi said seriously, "I want to ask you, what exactly happened before Wei Yu'er died suddenly?"
"Tell me everything you know."
Xiao Hong nodded hurriedly: "This servant said it, this servant said it. The Third Miss has always been in good health and has no hidden illness."
"But just a few days before her sudden death, she suddenly fell ill, became weak and frail, and many purple spots appeared on her body."
"I find this strange. The symptoms look like poisoning, but the doctor says it's an emergency."
"The Third Miss took the doctor's medicine but her condition didn't improve. Instead, it got worse."
"I observed carefully and discovered that the son-in-law secretly added something to the medicine."
