But Manager Chen's words were so detailed and certain, which meant that what he said was very likely true.

However, in order to ensure that no one is wrongly accused, it is still necessary to verify what he just said.

"Go and ask Doctor Xiao to come over."

After instructing his people, King Cheng looked at Manager Chen again and said, "What are the names of those special medicines you mentioned? I'll have someone check them out."

"This is it. I am ready."

Manager Chen took out a piece of paper with five names written on it. "Your Majesty, these are the special medicines."

When Liu Yiyi saw this, her whole body started to turn cold.

She never expected that although Manager Chen seemed to be obedient to her and said he would listen to her, he had actually already found evidence in secret.

Moreover, he actually found out that the person who bought the medicine was himself?

If it is really found out that she did it, she will definitely be severely punished.

More importantly, there are so many people here today. If everyone knew that she was such a vicious person, how could she gain a foothold in the capital in the future? How could she become Xue Wanxian's legal wife?

The more Liu Yiyi thought about it, the more flustered she felt. Right now, it would be fine if Prince Yong intervened, because Xue Wanxian was working for Prince Yong and had a good relationship with him. Moreover, Prince Yong knew that she was Liu Qian's daughter and would definitely help her.

But, it happened to be King Cheng. King Cheng and King Yong were mortal enemies.

He would never cover up for himself, nor would he let Prince Yong protect him.

Feeling everyone's gazes, Liu Yiyi's body began to tremble slightly.

She had never thought that this matter would break out at this time, and she had no idea what to do with it now.

Once the evidence is conclusive, there is no way to explain it even if you want to.

By the way, there is also Xue Wanxian. Xue Wanxian likes me so much, he will definitely find a way.

Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi quickly looked up at Xue Wanxian.

But he saw Xue Wanxian looking at him with disappointment.

When the others saw Liu Yiyi’s reaction, they probably knew in their hearts that this must be true. Otherwise, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear.

If it wasn't Liu Yiyi who did it, she wouldn't have to be so panicked.

The entire banquet hall was very quiet. An Qingqian looked at Liu Yiyi standing in the middle of the hall with great interest. She had done such a vicious thing, so she should have thought about what kind of punishment she would face if the matter got out.

But from beginning to end, An Qingqian did not see any expression of regret on Liu Yiyi's face, only panic of being discovered.

Doctor Xiao came back quickly, and the guard who brought the medicine names also came back quickly, and he brought two people with him.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought here." The guard bowed.

King Cheng waved his hand, signaling him to stand there with his men first.

"Doctor Xiao, take a look at the inside of this pill. Can you identify a few medicinal ingredients? Write down the names of the medicinal ingredients you recognize on a piece of paper."

"Yes, Your Highness." Doctor Xiao had just received news that Prince Cheng wanted to see him about something important. He thought he would be in Prince Cheng's mansion, but unexpectedly he came to Marquis Lin'an's mansion.

However, looking at the situation here, although Doctor Xiao didn't know what was going on, it had nothing to do with him and he only needed to follow orders.

Doctor Xiao took the pill and studied it on the spot.

Prince Yong looked at the scene before him and could not utter a word of rebuttal.

Doctor Xiao is a relatively young doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but he does not belong to any faction. He is an honest and dutiful person who does not know how to adapt. Even Prince Yong cannot find fault with such a person.

So he could only watch everything in front of him, and he did not expect that Liu Yiyi would do such a thing in the Marquis' Mansion.

Now it has been suddenly exposed in front of so many people. Even if he wants to take action, there is nothing he can do.

Doctor Xiao was an imperial physician after all, and he quickly wrote down most of the ingredients of the pill.

King Cheng compared the two pieces of paper together and saw that all the five kinds of medicinal herbs written by Manager Chen were on them. A smile appeared on his face.

"Third brother, look, the medicines that Manager Chen wrote on the paper all match. It seems that Manager Chen is right. What do you think?"

King Cheng's voice was quite loud, but the banquet hall was very quiet, so everyone could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong glanced at Prince Cheng and just nodded perfunctorily.

"Okay, you guys talk." King Cheng looked at the people brought over by the guards below.

"Why don't you go and pay your respects to His Royal Highness Prince Yong and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng? Tell us everything you know." The guard spoke sternly to the two men.

"Your Highnesses are greeted by your humble servants." The two men had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they didn't know what to do and quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

“I want to ask you, did anyone go to your pharmacy to buy the medicine listed above some time ago?” King Cheng threw the piece of paper written by Manager Chen to the two of them.

The paper was originally light and fluttering, but under the influence of internal force, it fell directly in front of the two people.

The two men were even more frightened when they saw this.

One person picked up the paper with both hands and looked at the contents carefully.

"To answer your question, there was a person who bought these medicines from my pharmacy."

"Then do you still remember what that person looks like? Is he a man or a woman?"

"I remember it, because on weekdays, very few people would buy these kinds of medicine at the same time, so I have a deep impression that it was a girl who bought it. The girl was also very pretty."

"If you see her again, can you recognize who she is?" asked King Cheng.

"Yes, as long as she appears in front of me, I will definitely recognize her."

"Look to your left, is that the woman buying medicine her?" King Cheng pointed at the person next to him.

The man looked in the direction King Cheng pointed and saw Liu Yiyi at a glance.

He was frightened by the guard just now, and when he arrived at Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, he saw so many people, including two princes, and was so frightened that he dared not look around. That's why he didn't see that man standing next to them until now.

When Liu Yiyi saw these two people, her heart died. These two people were the owner and the clerk of the shop where she bought medicine.

When she went to buy medicine, she didn't disguise herself or anything, she just changed into a maid's clothes.

Because she never thought that someone would investigate her from this aspect.

"To answer your Highness, it was her. Although she changed her clothes and put rouge on her face, I still remember her appearance. It was her who went to buy medicine that day."

The shopkeeper pointed at Liu Yiyi and spoke in a very affirmative tone.

"You're talking nonsense. When have I ever been to your pharmacy? Don't frame me." Liu Yiyi was panicked, but she had to deny everything. She absolutely could not admit to this crime.

"Girl, it was obviously you, why did you lie? At that time, you were wearing a gray linen dress, with a big braid, and you gave me a lot of silver. Everyone in the pharmacy saw it."
