Seeing this, several people sitting at the top of the hall hurriedly stood up.
"Everyone, step back."
Lord Pan ordered the bailiff to withdraw and walked quickly from the top to Yu Yiluo.
"I have met the little princess."
Duke Rong and his companions also bowed to Yu Yiluo, while wondering in their hearts why Yu Yiluo appeared here.
"No need to be so polite," Yu Yiluo raised her eyes and looked at the two ministers. "Don't you two ministers have official business? How did you find time to come to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion?"
The two looked at each other and were about to say something when they heard Yu Yiluo say.
"Since you have official business to attend to, go and do it."
They both responded: “…”
They didn't say they had any official business, but they couldn't refute the little princess. Given how favored she was, if she wanted to kill someone, the emperor would definitely be the one to hand her the knife. Was it the emperor's intention to let them leave?
"Yes, I do have official business to attend to. I will take my leave now."
Yu Yiluo nodded, turned her head and glanced at the door.
Yuan Can in the crowd gritted his teeth, lowered his head and cursed in his heart: "Damn it!"
Why would the little princess suddenly appear here to ruin his plans? What is this little brat doing here instead of staying in the palace to drink her milk? Why does she run out all day?
No, we can't let these two leave.
We have to find a way to keep them both here, as they will be needed for the next thing.
The reason why the note was given to the two of them was that apart from some friction with the Dukedom of Rong, they also had an upright heart.
If they were given any clue that Duke Rong might betray Tianqi, even the little princess would not be able to stop them.
But he can't be exposed now, what should he do?
When the two were about to leave, a yamen runner hurried in from the door.
"Your Excellency, I have brought people to search several people's pharmacies, and they don't have too many medicinal herbs in their shops."
"Um, little princess, Duke Rong, you..."
Before Lord Pan finished speaking, Yu Yiluo interrupted him and said, "You continue the interrogation."
"Yes, yes, I will continue."
Lord Pan returned to his seat and sat down again, feeling regretful that he should have pretended not to know earlier.
Now, even the little princess has been invited here. I wonder if the little princess came here because she alarmed the emperor.
"Duke Rong, these unruly people are really deceiving you."
Lord Pan looked at Duke Rong with a cold face, and seeing that he ignored him, he looked away awkwardly.
"Besides this, have you made any other discoveries?"
Yu Yiluo walked over to Lord Pan and sat down, then asked the yamen runners below.
Yuan Can, who was already in despair at the door, was delighted. This little princess actually helped him by accident.
"Yes," the bailiff took out the things he had found and presented them with both hands. "This was found in the drugstore that Duke Rong often visited. Please have a look, my Lord and the Princess."
The two ministers who were about to leave stopped and turned back without hesitation.
Yu Yiluo took the note from the yamen runner and asked, "Have you seen what's on this note? What is it?"
Yuan Can became excited when he heard this.
As soon as this note is opened, his father will be finished.
"I dare not say."
The bailiff looked terrified and knelt on the ground.
Duke Rong frowned and became curious about the contents of the note.
"What are you afraid to say?"
Yu Yiluo slowly opened the note and handed it to Lord Pan between her fingers.
"Master Pan, take a look at what's on it."
Lord Pan took it and read the contents of the note, his expression changed.
"Asshole, why did you bring this stuff back?"
"Sir, it was you who said that everything found in the search must be brought back as evidence."
The two ministers who came back looked puzzled as to why Lord Pan had that expression.
"I heard that Duke Rong visits this pharmacy regularly. Could it be that there's some shameful secret?"
One of the ministers stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at Duke Rong.
Yu Yiluo held his forehead with his hand.
I let the two go because I didn't want them to continue wading through the water, but I didn't expect them to run back to add to the drama.
Duke Rong snorted coldly, "What secrets could I have? I just went to buy medicine."
"What exactly was written on the note? Why don't you tell me, Master Pan?"
Seeing that Lord Pan was still hesitating, Yu Yiluo directly took the note, crumpled it into a ball and threw it to the two ministers standing below.
"Look."
After reading the above content, their faces turned red.
"How could it be a record of the bellybands that girls in brothels like to wear?"
[This guy Qingfeng really has some vulgar temperament. ]
How could that be.
Yuan Can stood frozen at the door. The note he placed there was one with the Li Kingdom logo.
As soon as that note came out, combined with his father's habit of going to the pharmacy regularly, treason was a foregone conclusion. How could it turn out like this?
He had confirmed it at the time and there was no one following him, so why did he fail?
"So that's how it is," Yu Yiluo glanced towards the door with a half-smile, "I thought Duke Rong had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, which is why Lord Pan's expression changed so drastically."
Collaboration with the enemy and treason?
Everyone present was shocked.
Especially Lord Pan, cold sweat began to appear on his back.
From the very beginning when he rushed there, it seemed like he was being pushed around.
If the things found during the search were something else, such as the evidence of treason that the little princess mentioned, then he would be the indispensable force that personally dragged Duke Rong into this turmoil.
In addition to the two assistant ministers who appeared, they might also be used as pawns like him.
Yu Yiluo glanced at a few people and stood up.
[Now that I've reminded you this much, you should understand what I mean.]
[By the way, I have to remind Master Pan that Yuan Can cannot be arrested. Yuan Can, the delivery man, still has to help me deliver the package and cannot be offline.]
"Master Pan, since this is a misunderstanding, let these people compensate Duke Rong for his emotional distress and let's forget about it."
Lord Pan stood up and bowed, "I obey your command."
Looking at the backs of Yu Yiluo and others as they left, Lord Pan was still frightened.
The little princess is so young, it is impossible for her to be able to do all this. So, was the so-called evidence replaced by the emperor, so that the person who pushed all this did not succeed.
But since he knew there was such a person, why did the emperor tell him not to investigate further?
After handling the next matters as Yu Yiluo said and letting the troublemakers go, Lord Pan looked at Duke Rong who was still sitting still and gave a dry laugh.
"Duke, I didn't know it would turn out like this."
If he had not intervened, Duke Rong would have used money to send these people away, and subsequent matters would not have been able to move forward.
He suddenly remembered the look in Duke Rong's eyes yesterday, and it dawned on him that Duke Rong's expression at that time was because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, not because he blamed him for being late.
"Forget it, be more considerate next time. If it weren't for the little princess this time, your position as Jingzhao Yin would have come to an end."
He stood up and looked at the two people who were still standing there.
"You are so stupid, yet you dare to find fault with me? You've been fooled around by my rebellious son who kicked me out, and you still think you're protecting Tianqi."
