Chapter 170 She Gave Too Much



Rong Xiu, who had been watching, did not take action until this moment and took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, please look." Rong Xiu restrained his look of watching a good show and said seriously.

Eunuch Fu looked up at the Emperor before stepping forward to take the paper from Rong Xiu's hand. He quickly glanced at the contents on the paper and his expression suddenly changed.

No wonder the eldest daughter of the Hua family has been calm and composed, it turns out she was well prepared!

The emperor casually flipped through the letter and his face gradually darkened.

He suddenly raised his hand, and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground in front of everyone.

"Hua Mu! Look at what you have done!" The emperor was furious and slammed the table.

As a prime minister, how can he govern the country if his family is not peaceful?

Hua Yuanshan didn't understand what was going on. She stretched her neck to see what was happening, but didn't dare to move. She was so anxious that her butt felt like it was on fire and she kept squirming.

Prime Minister Hua leaned over awkwardly and picked up the letter. He became furious when he saw its contents.

Hua Yuanzhao said calmly, "I asked Grandmother to send someone to guard Madam Xu and caught Bai Cha, who was sent by Su to silence her. But I am really out of reach of matters outside the palace, so I can only entrust it to Prince Rong."

"Your Majesty, I followed Miss Hua's speculation and found Mr. Li who was held hostage. Unfortunately, I was a step too late. Mr. Li had already been silenced when I arrived." Rong Xiu sighed regretfully: "This testimony was obtained by me from the person who kidnapped Mr. Li."

The army has its own interrogation system. Most of the people sent by Aunt Su were bribed with money. They would confess everything after a little intimidation.

Unfortunately, this group of people only admitted that they were sent by Aunt Su to silence the witnesses, but insisted that they were caught before they could do anything.

The man who killed Li Sheng was much better at martial arts than this group of people, and no one knew who sent him.

However, these testimonies are enough to convict Aunt Su.

"In addition, I have also found out that the second Miss Hua bribed others to spread rumors and framed the eldest Miss Hua for murder," Rong Xiu added.

These testimonies clearly point to the Su mother and daughter, and even if they had eight mouths, they would not be able to argue.

After hearing this, Hua Yuanzhao apologized again: "Your Majesty, the situation last night was urgent. I don't know who killed Madam Xu, and I don't have any evidence. I had no choice but to design a plan. I originally just wanted to lead out the person behind the scenes, but I never thought that I would alarm Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The emperor's anger subsided a little and he glanced at Rong Xiu who was standing in the corner.

Rong Xiu rarely put aside his surly demeanor and stood in an inconspicuous place with a gentle expression. When he saw the emperor looking at him, he even shifted his gaze to the side.

It’s just a matter of writing the four big words “It’s none of my business” on his forehead.

The emperor was angry and amused. He was not confused! It was impossible for a young lady raised in the harem to get these testimonies overnight.

Thinking of the Hua family's attitude towards Hua Yuanzhao and some rumors outside, the emperor suddenly asked slowly: "The Hua family's eldest daughter's calculations are reasonable, but... Rongxiu, why are you busying around here?"

The Rong family is really stretching their hand too far!

Madam Hua was shocked. Zhao'er was going to marry the Third Prince as his principal wife! Why did the Emperor mention Prince Rong at this time?

Could it be that he wants to arrange a marriage?

How can this be possible!

Prime Minister Hua's face was livid. It was all because of this evil creature who was embarrassing himself outside all day long! The emperor asked this question, clearly because he was afraid of the generals and ministers joining forces and wanted to punish him!

Rong Xiu smiled brightly and said confidently: "I didn't want to get involved in this kind of family affairs, but since I am working in the Jinwu Guard, I have the responsibility to maintain the security of the capital! If I knew that the deceased was unjustly killed and ignored it, wouldn't I be betraying the emperor's trust!"

He said this with a righteous tone, but everyone present rolled their eyes at the same time.

The emperor was almost laughing out of anger. He just stared at Rong Xiu with a half-smile on his face, without saying a word.

Rong Xiu was helpless, shrugged and said: "Isn't this... Miss Hua gave too much... Your Majesty, you also know that the winter in the border areas is bitterly cold, and it is common for soldiers to catch colds."

"Miss Hua granted me two prescriptions, one for prevention and one for treatment. The herbs used are all common..." Rong Xiu chuckled, "For the sake of the soldiers at the border, I am willing to be sent by Miss Hua."

Doctor Wu's hands trembled, and he couldn't help but look at Hua Yuanzhao.

For doctors, the most important thing is the prescription! A unique prescription is the foundation of an ordinary medical family. Miss Hua just gave it away like that?

"really?"

After hearing this, the emperor sat up straighter, with a calculating look in his eyes.

There are quite a few soldiers who die of colds every year. Compared with these soldiers, the Hua family’s affairs are not worth mentioning at all!

If Xu Ru hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have asked at all!

"Of course!" Rong Xiu blinked and said mysteriously, "Besides, the prescription for preventing colds only requires one main ingredient!"

The emperor did not ask any more questions, but his expression visibly improved.

From this point of view, the calculation of the eldest daughter of the Hua family is simply a trivial matter! This girl is smart and clever, and her plan is just to find out the truth and to seek justice for her stepmother.

Isn't it her wish to have such a scene?

Besides, this kid from the Rong family is someone who loves to join in the fun, so it’s normal for him to help.

He glanced at Hua Yuanzhao again, and his eyes swept across Doctor Wu's face, and he was surprised to find that Doctor Wu had a complicated expression.

"Doctor Wu, have you found anything else?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Doctor Wu suddenly came back to his senses and lowered his head to think of an excuse.

He couldn't say that he was distracted because he was greedy for Miss Hua's prescription, right?

Doctor Wu said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, according to my speculation, the deceased died around the beginning of the night before midnight."

It was the time when Hua Yuanzhao was called to treat Xu Wanqing.

"Moreover, there are corpse ulcers on the body of the deceased. According to my speculation, he must have been moved right after death." Doctor Wu added.

This also matches the transportation time mentioned by Hua Yuanzhao.
