"You mean, even if Ding Xian confessed, you wouldn't believe it?" Li Yuebai was helpless.

Throughout history, those in power often only needed a false confession to massacre entire families of innocent people.

Unfortunately, now, Grand Tutor Zhao is too good at flattery and is deeply trusted by the emperor. A confession is far from enough to bring him down.

"Of course there won't be only confessions. I can find evidence." Li Yuebai sighed and raised a finger: "First, find out where Ding Xian got the deer whip grass. As long as we follow the clue of the deer whip grass, we will eventually find Master Zhao!"

Deer whip grass is a very precious and rare medicinal herb. There is no herbal medicine shop in Kyoto that sells it. As long as we send capable personnel to track it down, we will not have trouble finding Master Zhao.

"Second," Li Yuebai said in a deep voice, "I boldly suggest that we check the whereabouts of the pulse book! As I said just now, after the folk miracle doctor examined the prince's pulse, he wrote about the blood tumor in his chest in the pulse book and handed it to the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Hospital gave it away. As long as we check where it was given away, we can find out that it is Tai Shi Zhao!"

"It's too early to say all this now!" Shan Hui, with her hair disheveled, roared like a madman, "Ding Xian's confession hasn't been made yet! That damn deer whip grass hasn't been found yet! That pulse book still needs to be slowly traced! Master Yun Le, you are jumping to conclusions now and accusing Grand Tutor Zhao. What crime should you be punished for!"

"Master Yun, although you were arrogant just now, every word you said was well-reasoned and well-founded, so your disrespect can be forgiven. But those few sentences you just said were extremely bold! Before the investigation even began, you insisted that you would be able to find Master Zhao. How dare you be so prescient in front of His Majesty?" Eunuch An took a look at the emperor's face, brushed off the dust, and started to reprimand Li Yuebai.

"Yes, Yun Weizhi is just a folk musician with a humble status. How dare he challenge Grand Tutor Zhao in public?"

"You've slandered Grand Tutor Zhao without any evidence. You'll be charged with slander!"

"Grand Tutor Zhao is an important minister of the country, how could he do such a rebellious thing? Master Yun must have been instructed by someone to put all the blame on Grand Tutor Zhao!"

When people saw this, they began to question.

And all the doubts are reasonable.

"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me." An old and calm voice sounded. It was Grand Tutor Zhao.

Led by several attendants, Grand Tutor Zhao slowly walked into Huixin Courtyard. As soon as he entered, he knelt down in front of the emperor and refused to get up.

The emperor waved his hand with a gloomy face, ordered him to stand up, and gave him a seat.

"May I ask Master Yun Le, what crime have I committed?" Grand Master Zhao did not dodge.

He was only middle-aged, but his face was sullen, his face was bony, his eyes were increasingly fierce and ferocious, and he looked a little old. In his hand, a string of Buddhist beads was slowly turning.

Zhao Ne originally thought that Yun Weizhi should have died by now, but he didn't expect that he was not only still alive, but also successfully blocked all his attacks. Not only did he block all his attacks, but he also miraculously dug out the truth of the poisoning.

For a small folk hermit to be able to achieve this, he is indeed extremely wise.

"Grand Master Zhao, I am ignorant of etiquette and have offended you. I hope you will forgive me." Li Yuebai said, "But Grand Master Zhao, are you really unwilling to admit these crimes?"

"If I admit what you said, it would be a joke." Zhao Ne's expression relaxed and he took Li Yuebai less and less seriously.

"I earnestly request Your Majesty to send someone to investigate thoroughly." Li Yuebai bowed again: "The result will certainly be as I say."

In fact, he had already seen it. When he mentioned those clues and the direction of investigation, the emperor nodded to the Jinwu Guards beside him, and the Jinwu Guards immediately left to investigate.

"Master Yun, the Jinwu Guards have already gone to investigate the clues you mentioned. What they find out or not has nothing to do with you, a commoner." Eunuch An's voice became louder and louder. "Master Yun, please stop making noise."

"My dear Minister Zhao, do you have anything to say?" Although the emperor trusted Zhao Ne, a hint of suspicion still appeared on his face.

"I am an honest and upright person, and I have nothing to say." Zhao Ne replied solemnly: "The Jinwu Guard will act impartially and will definitely prove my innocence."

He has been in officialdom for many years, and even when his life is on the line, he can still talk and laugh calmly.

In fact, if the Jinwu Guards really investigated carefully, they would be able to trace it back to him.

What Master Yun Le said was correct word for word. It was he who got the pulse book through various channels, and then sent Ding Xian to secretly add deer whip grass into the medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, he was very secretive and proud of not leaving any evidence. As long as he insisted that Ding Xian had falsely accused him and relied on the emperor's trust in him, he would be able to get away with it.

What's more, this musician Yun might have been too proud of his success and said something too extreme!

Originally, the situation was very favorable for Master Yun - Master Yun had predicted countless events correctly and was about to completely win the trust of the emperor and the people, but he chose to destroy the Great Wall himself!

As expected, he is just a country bumpkin, not that difficult to deal with.

Zhao Ne guessed the emperor's thoughts - the emperor had heard and seen with his own eyes Yun Leshi's arrogant and reckless accusations against him, and he was probably disgusted with Yun Leshi and had more trust in himself.

Forget it, let's get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Master Yun, if you can show me the evidence of my crime, I will have nothing to say." Zhao Ne said, "But now you are making false accusations without any evidence, which makes me suspect that you are being sent by someone to sow discord."

Zhao Ne turned to the emperor again and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think that Master Yun should be detained in the Heavenly Prison for the crime of false accusation, so that he will not make up rumors and stir up trouble again... When the Jinwu Guards return from their investigation, the truth will be revealed."

Zhao Ne thought it through clearly. As long as Master Yun was not around, no one would be able to see through his methods. Even if the Jinwu Guards found out something, he could cover it up with some skill.

It was ridiculous that Master Yun was defeated so quickly. The situation was clearly in his favor. If he had not been so arrogant and just said "Please send someone to thoroughly investigate the origins of the deer whip grass and the pulse book", it would have been the most reasonable suggestion. Not only would the emperor have readily accepted it, he might have also been impressed by his wisdom and asked him to follow the investigation throughout. In this way, perhaps it would only take a few days of investigation to overthrow him.

If it really comes to this, it will be very tricky, but since he is in a high position, he certainly can't just sit there and wait for death. He might directly send out assassins to kill Master Yun. Anyway, the investigation process is not in the palace, so he will always find an opportunity.

Zhao Ne calculated step by step in his mind and concluded that no matter what, he had a greater chance of winning.

Now, His Majesty has begun to seriously consider the advice of Grand Tutor Zhao - Yun Weizhi is indeed unusually hostile to Grand Tutor Zhao, which is very suspicious...

"Someone come here." The emperor waved his hands wearily and decided to lock up Yun Weizhi first and then deal with the matter slowly.

"I have one more thing to say." Li Yuebai seized the opportunity and interjected a word, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"How dare you! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Eunuch An was about to collapse. This Yun musician was making a fuss one moment and the next, making clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. When would it ever stop?

"Because I was just waiting for something from Grand Tutor Zhao." Li Yuebai said with a smile, "Grand Tutor Zhao just said in person that as long as I produce evidence now, I will plead guilty."

Zhao Ne frowned.

According to his speculation, Master Yun had no evidence at all, otherwise he would not have kept asking His Majesty to send people to trace clues and look for evidence.

Besides, Master Yun and I have never met before, and she has been confined in the palace for the past few days. How could she possibly get evidence of my guilt?

After thinking it over a thousand times, Zhao Ne felt more relieved. Perhaps, this musician Yun was just stalling for time.

"I always keep my word, but I'm afraid Master Yun doesn't have any evidence at all." Zhao Ne said.

"Yes." Li Yuebai stared at Zhao Ne with his eyes: "I have evidence."

Everyone gasped again.

"Yun Weizhi! Stop keeping me in suspense!" The emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Where is the evidence you're talking about?"

"I don't know what the evidence is." Li Yuebai turned around and let the Crown Prince out: "But the Crown Prince just said that he can produce it."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Everyone was shocked.

When Master Yun accused Grand Tutor Zhao of a crime, that was an act of insubordination. But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accused Grand Tutor Zhao of a crime, that was a master reprimanding his servant, which was reasonable.

"Crown Prince?" The emperor turned his doubtful eyes to his own son: "Do you have evidence of Grand Tutor Zhao's crime?"

"Yes." Murong Nan nodded.

"Where is the evidence?"

"It's right here." Murong Nan turned to Shan Hui.

"...You...Your Highness the Crown Prince, what on earth do you mean!" Shan Hui's makeup was already messy, and her hair was already disheveled.

"The evidence of Zhao Ne's guilt is hidden in Shan Hui's words." Murong Nan said.

"I said so many things, who can remember which one it was!" Shan Hui sneered.

"Shan Hui once said that she saw me wearing a white shirt with a red mark on the collar in Yu's study." Murong Nan said a little nonchalantly.

"Yes, that's exactly what was said just now!" No one dared to act rashly and testified one after another.

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly started coughing violently, causing a group of eunuchs to rush around, handing him handkerchiefs, serving tea, and massaging his back.

"So what?" Shan Hui sneered: "I have already admitted that I misunderstood His Royal Highness. Could it be that His Royal Highness will not forgive me?"

"I was only in Yu's study yesterday, and I wore that white dress only yesterday. Oh, I wore it today as well, but I wore it under a black dress so no one could see it." Murong Nan smiled and said, "Father can testify to that."

"That's right." The emperor's expression became uglier, as if something had been revealed to him.

"Since the day before yesterday, Shan Hui has been imprisoned in Huixinyuan and is not allowed to go out. Outsiders are also strictly prohibited from entering." Murong Nan said: "Then how did you know...what I looked like in Yu's study yesterday?"

"Shan Hui, how did you know?" the emperor asked tiredly.

In fact, the emperor had already heard Shan Hui's words during his previous questioning, but the emperor was busy thinking about whether the empress and the prince were guilty, and he ignored the obvious loophole in Shan Hui's words.

"Could it be that someone sneaked into Huixinyuan and told you my outfit?" Murong Nan's words pierced like a knife.

"Later yesterday, several concubines took their maids for a walk and passed by Huixinyuan." Shan Hui gritted her teeth and said, "They had been to Yu's study to deliver snacks and met the prince, so they knew the prince's attire. They were talking and laughing while walking, and I heard them!"

Zhao Ne nodded secretly.

That's right. When Zhao Ne went to the study yesterday, he heard the emperor say with his own ears: "Xu Zhaorong and several other concubines also came to pay their respects, met the prince, and left a few boxes of snacks."

When the concubines were strolling around, they would definitely pass by the Huixinyuan Gate.

Shan Hui's explanation can completely get away with it.

Even if the concubines denied it flatly, it could be explained as - they secretly talked about the prince behind his back and did not dare to admit it.

"You've been fooled." Murong Nan laughed softly.

"What?" Shan Hui widened her eyes again.

"You've been fooled." Murong Nan said, "Yesterday, the only person who came to Yu's study and saw me was Zhao Ne."

With a loud bang, the Buddhist beads in Zhao Ne's hand fell to the ground and shattered!

"May I ask, Grand Tutor Zhao, what is the charge for sneaking into the harem secretly, meeting with the deposed concubine, and discussing conspiracy?" Murong Nan's voice was not loud, but every word was like the teeth of a poisonous snake piercing people's hearts.

"I, I don't admit it! Master Zhao didn't tell me anything!" Shan Hui almost went crazy: "I just guessed it myself!"

"It's too late." Murong Nan said, "Just now, you have exposed your final trump card. You said: Several concubines went to Yu's study to deliver snacks."

“…”

"And my father only said this to Zhao Ne, "Several concubines once came to Yu's study to deliver snacks." Murong Nan sighed.

The emperor originally had no doubts about Grand Tutor Zhao, but the crown prince advised that after all, Grand Tutor Zhao and Shan Lan were married, so suspicion was inevitable. The emperor should test him, for example, by telling Grand Tutor Zhao such a lie to see if he would fall for it.

The emperor's relationship with the crown prince had improved recently, so he readily accepted the bet. He was convinced that Grand Tutor Zhao was a well-behaved man and would not fall for this remark.

Unexpectedly, the prince's words came true.

Of course, these were all Li Yuebai's ideas.

Shan Hui's face turned pale.

"Last night, Grand Tutor Zhao came to Huixin Court in person and met with Shan Hui." Murong Nan said, "If you still think the evidence is not enough, you can interrogate the guards of Huixin Court, and then they will be even more irrefutable."

Shan Hui fell to the ground crazily, crying and laughing.

In the field of vision, the red countdown in the lower right corner shook, and then shattered with a bang!

"Congratulations, you have successfully killed all the enemies and passed the level on your first try!" The system popped up happily, playing a background music that it found from somewhere: "You will leave the world of "Flowers Falling in the Capital" in three hours. Please fasten your seat belt, bring a towel, and don't panic. After you leave, the original owner will return."

That couldn't be better.

The pages of the original work flipped through the pages, and the lines of handwriting on them all changed.

"——Zhao Ne and the Shan sisters were both executed, while the empress was safe and sound, living a quiet life. A few years later, the emperor died, and the prince ascended the throne, and everything was peaceful... Some people also said that the one who ascended the throne was not the prince, but that the prince took his musicians to Ningzhou and retired to the mountains."

Such a paragraph may be a bit boring for the readers, but for the characters who were supposed to die, it is a miracle of life!

There were still three precious hours left, and Li Yuebai didn't know what to do. He could only walk around Yuanheng Palace and say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Why can you see through so many things?" Murong Nan asked.

Because I have cheats! Li Yuebai thought secretly. Compared with other protagonists of Golden Finger online novels, he was indeed far behind in cheats, and he didn't even have superpowers. However, he knew who the main enemy was at the beginning of the journey, knew the original plot, and was given an extra death countdown... These seemed ordinary, but with his own brain, he was invincible.

"I knew something was wrong the moment you refused to take the medicine and forced it on me." Li Yuebai's face was still red as he thought of the bowl of X medicine at the beginning: "If you observe carefully, you will find that Ding Xian's expression is different. When he handed the medicine to you, he was very nervous, and when I drank the medicine, his expression was complicated..."

When he just drank drug X, Li Yuebai did suspect that Murong Nan had given him this drug on purpose.

But after further observation, I found that Murong Nan really loved Yun Weizhi! He just watched her quietly every day, with a protective look on his face, and would never do anything like drugging or forcibly possessing her.

"All I did was to counter the opponent's moves and lure the enemy out of his hole." Li Yuebai said, "The only time I fell into the icy lake was when I was lucky. If we hadn't found the drug residue on Ding Xian's body, we would have lost one piece of evidence. Thinking about it now, I'm still scared."

"I'm scared too." Murong Nan looked at him dimly, "It's great that you didn't drown."

Drowned? How is that possible? Teacher Bai would not die so easily.

In just seven days, Li Yuebai felt like he was watching, no, participating in, a palace BL drama and was moved to the point of tears.

The story of Murong Nan and Yun Weizhi is really good, but it's a pity that I am not Yun Weizhi... No? Why should I feel pity? I don't like Murong Nan.

Li Yuebai felt that he had done his duty well enough. Although he could not be as close to Murong Nan as the original owner, and although he had to avoid Murong Nan every now and then, at least he had not messed up this relationship! When he left and the original Yun Weizhi came back, they could continue.

Teacher Bai felt a great sense of accomplishment as it was the first time in her life that she was successful in matchmaking.

"Hey, brother, I'm sorry. I may be a little weird these days, but I'll be back to normal tomorrow." Li Yuebai patted Murong Nan's shoulder in a good mood. "Also, I may have accidentally drunk the Baiwang Powder. I won't remember anything tomorrow. You can tell me everything tomorrow."

"Yeah." Murong Nan looked at him quietly, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Don't show that expression, aren't you the evil, crazy and overbearing CEO of a child?

"You are him, and you are not him." After a while, Murong Nan leaned close to Li Yuebai's ear and whispered.

Li Yuebai was completely stiff, even stiffer than the time he fell into the icy lake.

Discovered!

It’s over, it’s over, I’m exposed.

Come to think of it, I've been jumping around these past few days, planning and reasoning, showing my true nature to the fullest. How is he like Yun Weizhi? It would be strange if I wasn't recognized.

Fortunately, the time has come.

Li Yuebai stretched his waist and looked at Murong Nan with a smile: "Don't worry, he will come back."

Murong Nan had no intention of leaving his ear, instead he spoke four words one by one:

"We will meet again."

"Well, we will meet again." Li Yuebai smiled and rubbed his hair.

Actually, why did you tell me that we would meet again? Your Yun Weizhi will be back soon!

A white light bloomed before my eyes, and the whole world shattered.

Li Yuebai felt as if he was floating and felt dizzy.

I don’t know how long I drifted, but when I opened my eyes again, I saw a room.

The clean white room, without any furniture, was obviously a different dimension, with only a full-length mirror hanging on a white wall.

Li Yuebai stood in front of a full-length mirror and looked at his own face.

Just like the day when he fought the knife-wielding murderer, he was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and his face was clean, not like a wolf who fell headfirst to death in the toilet.

However, there was an extra halo on the left wrist.

It is slightly larger than a bracelet, the color of moonlight, very beautiful, but I can't tell what it is used for.

"It's just useless, a purely decorative item, meant to increase your recognition," the system said kindly.

"You just don't want to give me any cheats, right?" Li Yuebai was very depressed.

"Your brain is the biggest plug-in." The system complimented.
