Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In just a moment, eight imperial doctors surrounded Feng Yili.

Yu Yunxi was very worried when she saw this. She was worried that the imperial doctors would find that he was seriously injured, but she was also worried that Feng Yili would be found out if he was not seriously injured.

Meanwhile, Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran had taken advantage of the chaos earlier and entered the side hall as well.

When Qian Qing saw Yu Yunxi’s worried expression and Feng Yili surrounded by people, she asked anxiously, “What’s going on?”

Luo Xiuran held Qian Qing’s hand and said reassuringly, “Don’t panic. Yili must have a way to deal with this…”

At this moment, everyone was looking at Feng Yili.

The eight imperial doctors took turns examining Feng Yili. As time passed, their expressions grew more and more solemn.

Chu Zai said threateningly, “What’s the situation with the King of Youshan? Tell me the truth, and I’ll forgive you.”

The imperial doctors looked at each other before one of them said, “Your Majesty, the King of Youshan’s situation is not good. He broke a few bones, and his heart and lungs are damaged. If he’s not treated in time, I’m afraid…’

Chu Ruishi interjected angrily, “Then hurry up and treat him!”

Meanwhile, everyone’s expressions changed.

‘So he’s really injured…’

Chu Zai’s eyes flashed with joy.

‘If Li Cheng’an dies now, I’ll have a lot less trouble.’

However, Chu Ruishi naturally saw through Chu Zai’s thoughts. He said bluntly, “Emperor, the former King of Youshan accompanied me through life-and-death situations back then, and he could be considered a benefactor of the imperial family. I didn’t know anything about his death back then, but I won’t let anything happen to the descendants of the Li family.”

This was a warning to Chu Zai.

Chu Zai’s gaze darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Of course. The King of Youshan is my beloved minister. How can I let something happen to him?”

Chu Ruishi was too lazy to care about Chu Zai’s mood at this moment. He quickly walked over to Feng Yili, looking anxious. It was as though Feng Yili was his grandson.

Feng Yili coughed up blood as he shook off the imperial doctor’s hand before he said, “Emperor Emeritus, I thank you tor your concern, but even it I lose my life today, I have to seek justice for the King of Youshan’s Residence.”

“Your health is the most important. We’ll talk about the rest another day,” Chu Ruishi advised in a low voice.

However, Feng Yili said resolutely, “Emperor Emeritus, too many people in the King of Youshan’s Residence have died of injustice. Even if I survive today, there’ll still be countless spears and arrows directed at me in the future. Rather than dying unknowingly, I might as well use my last breath to seek justice for myself and the King of Youshan’s Residence.”

As Feng Yili spoke, blood trickled out from the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, Yu Yunxi stepped forward and said seriously, “Grandfather, the King of Youshan has a point. Today, not only did someone try to assassinate the Emperor, but someone also tried to assassinate the King of Youshan. The real culprit must be found. Otherwise, more people will die in the future.’

Yu Yunxi stood next to Feng Yili as she continued to say, “As for the King of Youshan’s injuries, you don’t have to worry, Grandfather. I’ll heal him, and I definitely won’t let anything happen to him.”

With that, Yu Yunxi brought a pill out and fed it to Feng Yili before checking his pulse. In the next moment, her eyes widened in shock.

Feng Yili brushed his hand across Yu Yunxi’s lightly before he whispered, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to me. I won’t make you and Junjin worry.”

At this moment, the anxiety in Yu Yunxi’s heart was finally swept away. She scoffed and used her inner energy to transmit her voice, saying, “This is such a big matter, but you didn’t tell me in advance. When today’s matter is over, I’ll settle the score with you.”

Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth, “Open your mouth.”

Feng Yili obediently opened his mouth, looking like a cat without claws.

After feeding him a blood-replenishing pill, Yu Yunxi tore her robe and swiftly bandaged his wound. She finally felt relieved because earlier she had confirmed that he did not really hurt his vital organs. He had used medicine to change his pulse. However, his wounds were real.

Yu Yunxi also remembered that she had given the little bun medicine to change one’s pulse.

‘When did Feng Yili come up with this plan?’

Seeing that Feng Yili’s condition seemed to improve slightly, Chu Ruishi frowned and pondered for a long time before he waved his sleeve and compromised. He said, “Alright. We have to find out the truth to appease the people. Let’s continue.”

Just as Chu Ruishi turned around, Feng Yili said, “My subordinate caught one of the assassins who tried to escape.”

Soon after, someone escorted a man in black into the side hall. He was gagged so he could not speak at all.The source of thɪs content is N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

“Remove the gag. I want to interrogate him,” Chu Zai said expressionlessly. He was the Emperor so he should be the one to discover the truth.

“Your Majesty, this person had taken poison earlier. His throat is damaged so he can no longer speak,” Jiang Ying said.

“He can’t speak? Then how are we going to find out the truth?” Chu Zai said angrily. He felt that they were toying with him.

“I found an emblem on his body,” Jiang Ying said as he tore the man’s sleeve.

In the next moment, a unique black emblem appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Does this emblem look familiar?” Feng Yili asked faintly.

At this time, a minister exclaimed in shock, “Isn’t this the emblem of Xichu’s

Imperial Army?”

“That’s right.”

These words stirred up a thousand waves immediately.

“Preposterous! The Imperial Army protects the imperial city, and they’re under my command. Are you saying that I tried to kill you?” Chu Zai said furiously.

When the Emperor was angry, the ministers were naturally terrified.

Feng Yili said slowly, “Your Majesty, you’ve misunderstood. You’re the

Emperor, and you’ve always protected your ministers. How could you harm

The atmosphere in the hall was strange. Many people did not dare to breathe loudly, feeling as though a huge storm was brewing.

Chu Zai narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Yili. It was as though he was trying to see through the latter’s intentions.

Feng Yili raised his head, and his eyes behind the mask met Chu Zai’s eyes as he said sharply, “Your Majesty, I have another thing to report. Seven years ago, my grandfather, the former King of Youshan, was seriously ill. At that time, someone tried to murder his grandson. He was so angry that he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed.”

Chu Zai continued to stare at Feng Yili with narrowed eyes as he asked, “You’re talking about the assassination seven years ago?”
