"I am innocent. I really don't know what happened. I just came in to change the medicine for the Fifth Prince."

Doctor Li knelt on the ground, crying out loud.

"Go and investigate. I'm sitting here today. No one can leave the prince's residence until this matter is investigated clearly." Emperor Yuanwu's eyes trembled with anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone in the room fell to their knees in fear.

Emperor Yuanwu is in charge.

Complex things seem to become simple.

After checking one by one.

Soon, the smell of cinnamon was found on Doctor Wang's cuffs, after careful inspection.

In the gap of the cuff, I found a tiny bit of cinnamon residue.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I really did not intend to harm the Fifth Prince."

"I think this was accidentally stained when I was cleaning the medicine cabinet a few days ago."

"A few days ago?"

Emperor Yuanwu sneered.

"The weather has been hot and humid these days. Could it be that you wear the same clothes all day without changing?"

"Your Majesty, I really did not lie. I have been on duty these days and have never returned home. I have never changed my clothes. These cinnamon sticks must have been left behind that day. Your Majesty, please check it out."

"We really need to investigate this thoroughly." Emperor Yuanwu nodded in approval: "Take this Imperial Physician Wang to the Ministry of Punishment and have him interrogated thoroughly."

"Yes!"

Wu Jixiang came close to Emperor Yuanwu and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This Imperial Physician Wang was introduced by Imperial Physician Li to join the Imperial Hospital. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital knows that Imperial Physician Wang is Imperial Physician Li's apprentice."

It turns out there is such a relationship.

Emperor Yuanwu had almost made up his mind.

"Send this Imperial Doctor Li to the Ministry of Punishment as well. I will give you three days to thoroughly investigate the murder of the Fifth Prince."

"Yes!"

It is said to be three days.

It didn't take even half a day.

Imperial Physician Wang confessed everything about how he and Imperial Physician Li had conspired with the Queen to harm the Prince and some concubines in the palace over the years.

"Your Majesty, there is something that I think is serious and I have to report it to Your Majesty truthfully." Wu Jixiang knelt in front of Emperor Yuanwu with a serious expression.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Yuanwu paused while reviewing the memorial.

"It's about Concubine Zhen."

"Empress Zhen's health had not been good before, and it was Doctor Li who tampered with Empress Zhen's medicine."

"It's only because you asked Consort Shu to manage the six palaces and Consort Zhen to assist, which angered the Empress, that..."

Speaking of it.

Wu Jixiang raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Yuanwu.

"Queen!?"

Wu Jixiang did not dare to hide it: "Your Majesty, calm down. It was the Empress. Over the years, the Empress has killed many concubines and princes in the palace, as well as those children who were not saved. Even the second prince was related to the Empress. Your Majesty, these are the confessions of Doctor Wang. Please take a look."

Emperor Yuanwu held the thick stack of confessions with trembling fingertips.

Although he did not like the queen, Emperor Yuanwu had never treated him badly over the years.

She was even asked to raise the eldest prince.

No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen mother and empress dowager.

What else is she dissatisfied with?

Why can you be so vicious!

"The Queen Mother is here!"

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

Emperor Yuanwu had just picked up the pen to write the imperial decree to depose the empress when he heard the voice of the eunuch at the door.

"Mother, you have come at the right time. I have something to ask you..."
