Chapter 44 It Really Was You Who Did It



When Cang Boyi heard Ye Xingchen's voice, his heart was filled with emotion and warmth.

In his entire life, he had always faced things alone. There were countless people in the four countries who wanted to kill him, but this was the first time someone said they wanted to protect him, and it was a woman.

If any other man heard this, he would definitely get angry or feel embarrassed, but Cang Boyi would not do that. He was very grateful.

Ye Xingchen was the first person to say these words to him, which warmed his cold heart.

However, Cang Boyi did not want the emperor to find out that Ye Xingchen had faked his death. Deception was a crime punishable by the extermination of an entire family, so he pretended not to hear it and walked towards the side hall next to him.

Both Ye's mother and father were stunned, their faces were pale, and they didn't dare to breathe.

What did they hear? His Majesty actually poisoned the Regent. This miracle doctor was not treating the Regent but poisoning him.

They dare not know such royal secrets, as this is definitely a big secret that will lead to the extermination of the entire clan.

The most important thing is that it was their daughter who said this.

My daughter knows it so clearly. Did the Regent tell her? The Regent actually told Xingchen such a secret. Then the two of them-------

Thinking about the fact that the Regent carried his daughter all the way, it was rumored that he never let women get close to him.

Father Ye was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. It was Mother Ye who supported him: "Master, you have to hold on. Our Ye family depends on you."

Father Ye finally came to his senses and looked at his daughter tremblingly: "Madam is right, we still need to seek justice for our daughter."

"Mom and Dad, let me take a break first." Ye Xiaosha was also shocked and glanced at Ye Xingchen who was faking his death with contempt.

His lawless and good-for-nothing sister actually said that she would protect the regent. She was so shameless and boastful.

The emperor glanced at everyone and finally his eyes fell on the side hall next door.

A man walked in. He was tall and had long legs. He wore a silver mask on his face, so his features could not be seen clearly. Only his exposed black pupils looked cold and sharp.

"Hello, Lord Regent. Let me take his pulse first," said the man.

"Okay." Cang Boyi stretched out his arm.

The miracle doctor reached out his hand to feel the Regent's pulse, then froze. He didn't move or speak. After a while, he withdrew his hand and walked out of the side hall.

"Your Majesty, the Regent is in worse shape, and his breathing is unstable. The situation is not optimistic, and he needs to recuperate for a period of time." The genius doctor said respectfully.

"In that case, you should take good care of the regent's health. If you need any medicine, please ask the Imperial Hospital to send it to you." The emperor said quietly.

"Yes, then I'll go prepare the medicine first." The doctor said, and retreated respectfully.

Cang Boyi walked out from the side hall: "Thank you for your concern, my royal brother."

"There's no need to be so formal between you and me as brothers. As long as you can get better, I will find a way to get you any precious medicinal herbs, and you just need to rest assured and take care of yourself." The emperor said this with deep sincerity.

If they had not heard Ye Xingchen's inner voice, Ye's father and mother would have thought that the emperor had a deep brotherly love and would have been moved by the emperor. At this moment, Ye's mother and father only felt their scalps tingling.

If they hear such a secret, they must keep their mouths shut.

[Strange, why is there something wrong with this miracle doctor? ]

[He didn't poison the Regent. Could it be that the problem lies in the medicine? ]

[It would be nice if I could go with them, but I'm pretending to be dead, so I definitely can't leave. ]

【It would be great if someone could take a look at it for me. 】

Ye Xingchen thought to herself, she used her consciousness to take out a paper man in the space, then she gently drew a talisman with her hands hanging by her side, muttering something in her heart, and suddenly the paper man disappeared.

Ye Xingchen then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He should not have pretended to be dead. This was really troublesome.

Time passed little by little, and the paper man came back quietly avoiding everyone and slipped into Ye Xingchen's sleeve quietly.

Everyone was worried about the relief money, so naturally no one noticed the paper man.

As everyone was waiting, they finally saw a familiar figure, it was Bao Renqing, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

"Your Majesty, I have come to see you. I have taken people to the back mountain three miles away from the eastern suburbs and indeed found silver. It was all melted silver lumps. There were dozens of boxes, and roughly speaking, there were five hundred thousand taels."

The emperor was furious and glared at Cang Tingchen angrily. He suddenly stood up and walked down from the dragon throne. He walked in front of Cang Tingchen and kicked him hard.

"You rebellious son, how dare you embezzle the disaster relief money? That is life-saving money, how dare you!" the emperor roared.

When the disaster occurred, the people were displaced, starving, and even cannibalistic. The emperor used all the silver in the national treasury to provide disaster relief, but he didn't expect that so many people would still die in the end.

At that time, he was still wondering why so many people died even though the silver had been delivered. He didn't expect that the silver he had allocated for disaster relief was actually embezzled by King Mo.

He is such a good son!

Cang Tingchen was kicked to the ground, his chest ached terribly, but he ignored the pain and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Father, please spare my life. This was not done by me. I don't know what happened. Please look into this!" Cang Tingchen didn't dare to admit it.

"You bastard, you still refuse to admit it at this time. How could I have a son like you who is so unrepentant!" The emperor's face was ashen and he was furious. He kicked Cang Tingchen a few more times. The emperor was so angry that he pulled out the sword from the dragon throne and put it directly on Cang Tingchen's neck.

"Tell me, is it you who embezzled the disaster relief money? If you dare to tell a lie, I will kill you immediately!" the emperor roared.

The majestic and domineering voice resounded throughout the hall.

Cang Tingchen was kicked so hard that he vomited blood. His face turned pale with fear, and the long sword at his neck was shining coldly. That was his father's sword.

Behead the tyrants and kill the common people.

Cang Tingchen was kneeling on the ground, trembling and really scared. He was sure that if he didn't admit it, his father would kill him with a sword.

"Father, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare my life!" Cang Tingchen immediately begged for mercy and banged his head on the ground. The sound was really loud.

The emperor's eyes turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, his face was full of resentment and anger, but more of it was disappointment.

This was the good son he raised, this was the heir he carefully cultivated, but he actually embezzled the money for disaster relief. So many people starved to death or froze to death. The emperor was truly heartbroken when he thought of the disaster that year with corpses everywhere.

"Prince Mo has no respect for the law and has embezzled disaster relief funds. He should be deposed-------" Before the emperor could finish his words, a young eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Concubine Xuan has fainted!"
