At a critical moment.
A black figure suddenly appeared and easily blocked the prince's killing move.
At this moment, there was only the fearlessness in facing death in Su Liyue's eyes... However, this fearlessness froze as soon as it appeared, and then turned into shock.
She never thought that Ye Cangming would come and save her.
Obviously, Ye Cangming's appearance was not only sudden for Su Liyue, but also difficult for others to understand.
After all, everyone knows the relationship between Prince Zhan and his wife.
"Ye Cangming, are you going to protect her?"
The prince's face was ashen at this moment, and he stared at Ye Cangming with anger.
Ye Cangming didn't reply immediately after hearing this. Instead, he glanced at Su Liyue coldly before saying, "Uncle Emperor, please be patient. It's better to follow the rules in court."
"What if I don't want to?" The prince became even more angry.
Ye Cangming said nothing when he heard this, but only looked into the eyes of the prince.
One is cold, the other is furious.
The two sides confronted each other, neither of them giving in, and the atmosphere was a little cold for a while.
The onlookers were all afraid to say a word, for fear that anyone who breathed loudly would be caught in the crossfire.
"Is the Imperial Uncle trying to obstruct the investigation?" Ye Cangming said in a cold voice.
Prince Zong: "So what if I am obstructing the investigation?" Obviously, Prince Zong was fearless at this moment.
Ye Cangming simply walked to the side, found a place to sit down, looking relaxed and obviously not wanting to care about it.
Su Liyue: “…”
As expected, she knew Ye Cangming wouldn't be so kind. Is it too late for her to take back the little bit of gratitude in her heart just now?
When the prince saw Ye Cangming sitting down, he thought that he didn't care anymore, so he looked at Su Liyue again, and the murderous intent in his eyes rose again.
Just as the Zongqin Prince was about to make his next move, Ye Cangming's cold voice rang out from behind him, "This case was supervised by my father, the Emperor's great uncle. If my father knew that the Emperor's great uncle was trying to obstruct the investigation, I wonder if so many people in the Zongqin Prince's mansion would also be implicated by the Emperor's great uncle."
The prince paused.
Ye Cangming continued, "Of course, if the Imperial Uncle wants to see Master Huian wronged and want to live and die together, this King has no right to interfere."
Ye Cangming's words were always cold, and his tone was so flat that no emotion could be detected, as if he was just chatting.
This time, there was finally some confusion in the eyes of the prince.
The eldest princess on the side glanced at Ye Cangming meaningfully before slowly speaking, "There are women around here and there, so it won't hurt to take a look. Uncle, please sit down and take a look first."
After that, she looked at Su Liyue again and said in a serious voice, "Master Hui'an is still the Grand Concubine no matter what. Please don't be rude."
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue knew that the Grand Princess meant for her to just take a look and not do anything to the Concubine Dowager's body. She also knew that this was not only a step to take, but also a warning.
Moreover, the Grand Princess was actually helping her, so she nodded.
Upon seeing this, the prince snorted and sat down angrily.
Su Liyue then walked up to Huian and reached out to lift the white cloth.
However, the moment the white cloth was lifted, Su Liyue was stunned.
In order to confirm her guess, Su Liyue's mind sank.
When her eyes fell on Huian's chest, she could clearly see that Huian's heart was still beating slightly.
Hui'an—is really still alive.
The reason why she was suspicious was that although Hui'an's face was pale, her lips were purple, and her body was cold, her skin did not give the impression of a dead person.
From discovering his death, to traveling from the nunnery to the capital, and then finding himself... this whole process must have taken at least two hours.
A person's state two hours after death is not like this.
Then, Su Liyue gritted her teeth, squatted down, and put her hand on Huian's pulse.
I have a hunch that Hui'an might be the key to this case.
Su Liyue's actions surprised everyone present.
Is she taking the pulse?
Su Liyue knows medicine? Funny, right?
Since few people knew about yesterday's entry into the palace and the imperial edict and rewards, everyone was skeptical about Su Liyue's actions at this time.
Su Liyue wasn't pretending when she took Master Huian's pulse. After all, knowing that Master Huian was still alive was one thing, but determining what kind of poison it was and how to treat it was another.
But soon, Su Liyue's expression became serious.
It's 'soul separation'.
As the name suggests, the soul-leaving thing is something that takes people's lives.
Given Huian's current condition, he must be treated urgently, otherwise even if the immortal came it would be too late.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue immediately looked up at Master Chu and said, "Master, Master Huian is still alive."
"What?"
Before Lord Chu could speak, the prince stood up excitedly.
However, when his eyes fell on Huian's face, his expression darkened.
His face was pale, his lips were purple, and there was no sign of breathing. How could he be alive?
For a moment, the prince looked at Su Liyue with unfriendly eyes again.
In the eyes of the prince, Su Liyue lied that Huian was still alive in order to escape her own guilt.
Not to mention the princes of the clan who didn't believe it, no one present believed it, including Lord Chu.
Because when the body was brought in, it was confirmed that the person was dead.
Seeing this, Su Liyue knew that these people did not believe her, so she did not argue much, but instead listed a series of medicine names.
"Master Chu, please have someone get these medicines quickly. Also, please ask someone to ask a doctor to verify it." After saying this, he added, "Whether it is true or not, please give me half a cup of tea to decide."
