Hearing Yan Fan's question, the confidant understood that Yan Fan was asking him to find a reasonable reason to make the emperor believe why he appeared outside the secret passage and was carrying Yan Min'er's body.
If the reason is reasonable and the emperor believes it, he will survive. If the emperor does not believe it, Yan Fan will abandon him and put everything on him.
"Your Majesty, someone must have murdered Concubine Min and entered the palace pretending to be Concubine Min. I found Concubine Min's body and wanted to report it to Your Majesty, but I am powerless and cannot enter the palace..."
The Emperor interrupted him, "While you were thinking about how to get into the palace, you accidentally discovered the secret passage and thought of carrying the body into the palace? And Yan Zhenghai was worried that you would be too tired to carry it alone, so he came to help you share the burden, right?"
Yu Yiluo laughed in her heart like a goose.
[Daddy, how could you steal my lines? I've already got the words, so what can I say?]
[But you must tell me, Yan Zhenghai really wanted to help Yan Fan, so he suggested going with his confidant.]
Seeing that his confidant was silent, Yan Zhenghai kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what is happening."
Although he said this, he couldn't help but regret why he suggested to act together with his confidant.
He wanted to help his confidant and prove to his father that he could still do good things and was not a waste, but unfortunately everything developed in a direction he had not expected.
Yan Fan wanted to kick his son to make him shut up.
He only told his confidants about the matter because he was worried that his foolish son would mess things up recklessly, and he didn't let him get involved because he was considering not involving him if things failed. Now, he was seen by the imperial guards and got involved.
If this matter cannot be explained, I am afraid that no one in the Yan family will be able to escape, let alone his son.
Recovering his thoughts, Yan Fan burst into tears and said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, I don't know who is so bold as to kill my daughter. I only have this one daughter. I beg Your Majesty to help me find the murderer of Min'er."
At this point, he had no choice but to follow his confidant's words and put everything on Hongyi.
Anyway, the man in red is already dead, and the dead cannot speak. If we can't find the emperor in red, we can't punish him without any evidence.
[Tsk tsk, she was crying so hard, I don't know how much she thought she cared about her daughter.]
"It seems that Prince Liang cares a lot about this daughter? No wonder he was reluctant to send her to the palace before."
Yan Fan didn't bother to wipe away his tears and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I have carefully nurtured Min'er since she was a child, so naturally I care about her. Your Majesty must make the decision for Min'er."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Since Prince Liang cares so much about his daughter, didn't he just go to the palace to see Concubine Min yesterday? Why didn't he recognize that she wasn't his daughter?"
[Every word Daddy says is truly soul-searching.]
Yan Fan lowered his eyes to hide the guilt in his eyes.
"This person must know Min'er too well, which is why I can't see the flaw."
"Really? I thought you were unwilling to send your daughter to the palace just to plan this drama today."
[Daddy has revealed the truth. He was just thinking about this day. It's just that the direction of events has changed.]
"Your Majesty, I feel wronged. I owe my present position to your grace. How dare I have any other thoughts?"
Yan Fan looked terrified. "I beg the emperor to send someone to arrest the villain as soon as possible. I'm worried that he's escaped."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Min requests an audience."
A young eunuch walked in from the palace gate.
Min concubine?
Yan Fan was completely dumbfounded. Where did Concubine Min come from? Hadn't he already dealt with the rebellious son in red clothes? How could another Concubine Min appear?
"Send someone in."
The ministers felt that today's drama was more exciting than the storytelling. They were all smart people and knew exactly what Yan Fan was thinking.
Yan Fan turned his head to look at the entrance of the hall, and saw two people in red and white, both wearing orange dresses, walking in together. When they saw him looking over, they smiled at him.
"You, how come you two are still alive?"
Yan Zhenghai was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly and looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Didn’t his confidant say that his father had killed the two men? Why were they still standing in front of him unharmed?
"Why are we still alive?"
Hongyi tilted her head and smiled at him, "You'd have to ask your father about this. Maybe his poison isn't working anymore?"
"Protect the emperor," Yan Fan shouted quickly, "Your Majesty, this man is the villain who pretended to be Min'er. Your Majesty, be careful."
"Prince Liang is really good at turning the tables," Hong Yi sneered, "wasn't it you who poisoned my friend and threatened me to impersonate Min'er and enter the palace?"
"By the way, you threatened me to take action against the emperor so that you could sit in that position. I didn't want to listen to you, so you wanted to kill me and use Sister Min'er's body to direct and act out this drama.
In fact, Min Er's sister died last year."
When these words were spoken, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but gasp.
"No, Yan Min'er's body doesn't look like the one that died last year. Did you make a mistake?"
Wang Yu had seen Yan Miner's body. Although there were some corpse spots, the body was not rotten.
Under normal circumstances, the body of someone who died last year would not be so intact.
"Your Majesty, this man is full of lies. If Min'er died last year as the deputy commander said, why hasn't her body rotted?"
The prince bowed and said, "Father, why don't we find a coroner to take a look?"
Hearing that they wanted to find a coroner, Hongyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need for a coroner. Prince Liang must have used something to prevent the body from rotting."
Although he didn't know what it was.
"If there is such a thing, why haven't I heard of it?"
Yan Fan felt relieved when he saw that he couldn't tell what was going on.
He bought that thing at a high price from a traveling doctor. It was very rare and Hongyi had no way of knowing about it.
"Your Majesty, the princess is with Consort De. Why don't you ask her to take a look?"
Eunuch Cao thought of Mu Xue who had entered the palace early in the morning and suggested.
The emperor nodded and said, "Go and ask the princess to come over."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fan silently prayed in his heart that Mu Xue would not notice.
After about a cup of tea, Eunuch Cao brought Mu Xue in.
Mu Xue walked to the center of the hall and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor raised his hand slightly, "My Lady, there's no need to be so polite. Eunuch Cao should have already told you, is there really such a thing in the world?"
"Your Majesty, I have already visited Miss Yan's body. It was because of the anti-aging fragrance that Miss Yan's body has been preserved for so long."
Mu Xue said this and glanced at Yan Fan.
"To be more precise, it also functions as an ice coffin. Although the fragrance on Miss Yan's body is said to be a youthful fragrance, it's not actually a true youthful fragrance. A true youthful fragrance, when placed in the mouth of a deceased person, would allow them to look as good as new for five years."
Yan Fan cried out, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what the Rejuvenating Fragrance is."
"How did the princess know about this fragrance?"
Bai Yi asked curiously. He knew that Mu Xue was from the Valley of Divine Doctors during his time in the palace. He didn't expect that she really had such special abilities. He didn't even know what she used.
