The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu handed over the manual recording the drug transactions between the Ye family and the former owner of the Herb Hall, Ye Ding. The medicine-obsessed and curious Du Guzhu was the first to rush forward to take a look.

Valley Master Du flipped through several pages, frowning. "What Princess Ye said is indeed correct. These medicines may seem harmless at first glance, but when combined with one another, they produce adverse effects. These gradually accumulated trace amounts of toxins will erode the human body day by day."

Growing increasingly angry, Du Guzhu quickly glanced through a few pages before passing them to the other Dudigu people. The Second Elder and Du Houpu and a few others read them, then passed them on to the other guests present.

Doctor Shi, Zheng Yuan and a group of other doctors were forced to look at the manual with transaction records. Besides, the Night King and the Night Queen were both here, so they couldn't hide their true selves. They could only bite the bullet and check the drug catalogs.

Only after receiving a look of resignation and annoyance from the Emperor did Doctor Shi dare to make his own decision and speak. His ideas were consistent with those of Dudigu and Yun Mujiu. These weren't good medicines, which showed how vicious the person who secretly administered the drugs was.

At this time, Yun Mujiu slowly took out the second piece of evidence.

The former owner of Herb Hall, Ye Ding, the cousin of the Ye family, was executed along with other members of the Ye family who had committed crimes in the officialdom and business circles after being exposed by Yun Mujiu for crimes such as impersonating a royal relative, slandering and disrespecting the princess of a country, and running a pharmacy with fraud and disregard for human life.

The evidence Yun Mujiu produced was a testimony given by Ye Ding before he was beheaded. Before Ye Ding's execution, the Ye Palace had secretly obtained a confession from the prison, in which Ye Ding admitted that while running the Herb Hall, he had provided the Ye family with countless drugs specifically designed to poison the Meng family.

Yun Mujiu had obtained this evidence before, but because the evidence was not sufficient and the time was not right to completely expose the disgusting crimes of the Yun family, she did not sue for everything at once until today.

The third piece of evidence was also collected discreetly by her. Before the Moonlit Night Banquet, she had the Jingzhao Prefecture collect and compile some final evidence and compile it into a certificate. Even before the Moonlit Night Banquet was announced, she had already privately reported Ye's crimes to the authorities.

When Yun Mujiu married Ye Xiaohan, she went to her mother Meng's Qinxin Garden when she returned home for the first time and took a detailed look inside, especially Meng's bedroom.

However, because so much time had passed, and nearly everything in Qinxin Garden had been cleared by Yun Xiang and Ye, the remaining clues were very limited. However, Yun Mujiu did find a clue in Meng's bedroom. The four-poster bed with a moon-shaped door was covered in spurts of blood and messy nail scratches. This showed that Meng must have suffered a sudden and unexpected calamity during her difficult labor on this bed, and the toxins that erupted caused her immense suffering.

In addition to the evidence on the bed, after Yun Mujiu discovered Ye's medicine purchasing manual in the Herb Hall, Han Yingwei sneaked into the Yun Mansion several times and found some medicine residues under the flower garden in the back wing of Qinxin Garden.

After examination by the doctor in Jingzhao Prefecture, it was found that these medicines were the ones that Meng had taken every day when she was pregnant, and they were also the poisonous medicines prepared by Ye for Meng.

The evidence of Meng's sleeping situation, supplemented by evidence of medicinal residue, combined with the transaction records in the Herbal Hall manual and the testimony of the former shopkeeper Ye Ding, combined with the attitude of the Yun Mansion towards Meng and her daughter, and the crimes that Yun Mujiu accused the Yun Mansion people of...

Finally, a conclusion was reached. The evidence Yun Mujiu had used today to accuse her and her daughter of being poisoned was entirely true.

Yun Mujiu flicked her wide lotus-patterned sleeves and asked Valley Master Du and several imperial physicians to take her pulse. Sure enough, they found that toxins had accumulated in her body for many years.

Jingzhao Yin Zongquan stood up and testified with several officials from Jingzhao Prefecture that Yun Mujiu's report was true. The evidence presented by Yun Mujiu was also true and most of it had been checked by them.

The emperor looked at Zong Quan gloomily, dissatisfied with why Zong Quan accepted Yun Mujiu's report privately without informing him in advance.

Zong Quan seemed to understand the emperor's mood, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. His clever words showed that he was also a helpless official. The reporter requested that the case not be made public for a few days, and he had no way to announce the news immediately.

Yun Mujiu took Ye Xiaohan's arm and spoke for Zong Quan, saying with a hint of arrogance, "It was me who asked Master Zong to keep this secret for a few days, and it was me who forced Jingzhao Prefecture not to leak any information."

It made sense, what else could the emperor say? Besides, Yun Mujiu had only recently asked Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the case, so it couldn't be said that he had been hiding it from the outside world for long. Outsiders had no way of holding Yun Mujiu and Jingzhao Yin accountable.

The people of Jingzhao Prefecture escaped accountability, and the next step was how to judge the criminals.

Ye Xiaohan took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon the criminal to make a remonstration?"

When Yun Mujiu started to file the lawsuit, Ye Xiaohan had already sent people to pick up the prisoners outside the palace.

The emperor frowned and waved his hand. Ye Xiaohan turned around and asked his personal guards to bring people in.

Ye, Wu, Wu Mingwei, and a group of Beihan doctors, who had been listening for a long time outside the hall, were escorted in. They tried to argue, but their mouths were stuffed with rags, and their hands and feet were tied, making it impossible for them to move.

Yun Mujiu calmly looked at the haggard, inhuman-looking female ghost, Ye, with sunken cheeks and dark circles around her eyes. Ye whimpered and turned to Yun Xiang and Yun Shirou for help, but the latter ignored her.

Yun Mujiu retracted his gaze and continued, "The Ye family brutally murdered my mother and me, and Prime Minister Yun cannot escape responsibility. My mother's health deteriorated during her pregnancy, and after Prime Minister Yun allowed the Ye family to take care of her, she became even weaker."

"Prime Minister Yun let the Ye family into the family, and he asked my mother to give up the Herb Hall to the Ye family. Prime Minister Yun and the Ye family collaborated to murder my mother and me. He killed my wife and daughter, and he has absolutely no conscience!"

"Oh, by the way, when I first returned home, they prepared poisoned tea made from Gelsemium elegans for me. It was truly vicious."

Yun Xiang knelt on the ground with a limp, and everyone looked at him with disgust. Yun Xiang defended himself to the emperor, saying that everything was the fault of that bitch Ye Qingyan and had nothing to do with him!

But would anyone believe this? Yun Xiang and Ye Shi had been colluding for a long time. They had colluded to allow Ye Shi to enter the palace, and they also wanted to support Ye Shi as a concubine. They even made Yun Shirou, a concubine's daughter, the title of a legitimate daughter. How could one of them escape when the whole thing was exposed?

Ye Xiaohan spoke in support of Yun Mujiu, and Princess Ji Ling, the Seventh Prince, the Fifth Prince, the two sons of the Ling family, Meng Ninglang's family, Prince Gu, and others all joined in supporting him. The onlookers even cursed the Yun family, calling them inhuman!

The Emperor looked at Yun Xiang, who was crying and anxious in the audience, and then saw Yun Shirou's frantic and ferocious expression as she tried to defend herself. After a while, the Emperor weighed the pros and cons and looked at Yun Xiang with indifference, not even a trace of the thought of using her anymore.

Finally, at the request of Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, or rather their strong demands, the punishment orders for the Yun Mansion were issued one by one...
