I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 74: Ambush on the verge of happening

On February 29th, in Jingning City, the capital of the Great Yao Dynasty, the incident took place in the capital, in An Cheng's residence, the New Imperial Medical Palace, in Tai'an Hall, where military affairs were handled and memorials were reviewed in the Great Yao Palace, in Minghe Hall, where the emperor slept, and in Zichao Hall, where the imperial concubine slept. The Dali Temple was where the three courts held their joint trial.

After everyone finished discussing, Tianjizi, An Wuyang, and Lin Ruhai all stayed behind. They looked at the third prince Qi Zhen quietly, as if they had something to say.

Tianjizi was the first to speak frankly: "If the An family wants to overturn the verdict, they must be tried by the three courts. The most powerful of the three courts are the Minister of Justice Hu Yishu, the Minister of the Supreme Court Mao Jiexin, and the Left Censor-in-Chief Zhu Changrui, but they are not our people. I am afraid that they will interfere, which will be difficult."

An Wuyang also said worriedly: "This Minister of Justice Hu Yishu, everyone in the capital knows that he has been embezzling money and accepting bribes. He has always relied on Concubine Mu, so no one dares to touch him."

Lin Ruhai said directly to Qi Zhen: "If you want to win in one fell swoop, you must rely on the authority of Prince Yi Zhong and use the most powerful evidence to prevent the judges from having a chance to breathe and directly report the results of the trial to the emperor for his decision."

Qi Zhen said calmly: "I know what you are worried about. Although the Minister of Justice Hu Yishu is a member of the imperial concubine and her son, the Supreme Court Minister Mao Jiexin and the Left Censor-in-Chief Zhu Changrui have never participated in the party struggles in the court. They are a group of clean people."

An Wuyang said: "Although I will not participate in the party struggle, I will do something unwillingly under the pressure of the authority of the Minister of Justice."

Qi Zhen smiled and said, "Everyone can rest assured. As far as we are concerned, as long as they are not members of the enemy party, we can make use of them."

Seeing Qi Zhen talking and laughing so cheerfully, Lin Ruhai knew that he must be confident of victory, so he also said with a smile: "It seems that the Third Prince has already made up his mind."

Tianjizi's eyes turned, and he pulled An Wuyang and said, "Little Bian Que, we still have two tasks to complete!"

Little Bian Que said, "Are you talking about spying on the Imperial Concubine's bedroom and the New Imperial Medical Institute without anyone noticing?!"

Tianjizi nodded and said, "Exactly! How about the two of us go and take action?!"

Qi Zhen said hurriedly: "Don't act rashly! Before you go, be sure to ask Wuxia for some extremely special medicinal herbs. She has explored the territory at night many times and always returned safely."

Little Bian Que smiled and said, "Oh! During the year that I lost my memory, my sister's medical skills have improved a lot! I will be happy to ask her for advice on how to make this medicinal material."

Late at night on the first day of March, Tianjizi and Xiao Bianque brought the intoxicating incense prepared by An Wuxia, and secretly inspected the Zichao Palace and the New National Medical Institute, and restored everything to its original state afterwards.

Qi Zhen and Lin Ruhai secretly contacted Prince Yi Zhong to ensure Lin Ruhai's safety during the secret interrogation by the Three Divisions. At the same time, Prince Yi Zhong led the Three Divisions to investigate the case secretly because of the personal order of His Majesty. Therefore, the chief official of the Three Divisions must first explain the results to Prince Yi Zhong, and then he will report to the emperor.

On the morning of March 3, the atmosphere in the Dali Temple was particularly solemn. The highest official of the three courts, the Minister of Justice Hu Yishu, realized that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to his party. So he notified the imperial concubine and her son and asked them to make preparations early.

When the imperial concubine and her son learned that the emperor was indeed secretly investigating them, they naturally took the initiative. After they failed to kidnap the sick body of An Nuo's family, they also secretly laid a net and waited for them to die.

In the Purple Palace, Prince Qizhu looked at his mother, Concubine Mu, and proudly said to the commander of the Shadowless Army, Bai Hexian: "Not only have your internal injuries recovered, but your skills have also improved a lot compared to before. It's great!"

Bai Hexian looked at An Cheng gratefully and said, "This is all thanks to Doctor An. He specially developed a healing medicine for me, which is why I recovered so quickly."

An Cheng smiled and said, "You are too polite, Lord Bai. We are all people who serve the Queen and the Crown Prince together, so we should work together to help each other."

Concubine Mu said with a little worry: "The emperor has already suspected us, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we should make plans early. According to the information from the Minister of Justice Hu Yishu, Qi Zhen's party and An Nuo's family have overturned the verdict."

An Cheng said with a sinister smile, "Don't worry, Madam. She is just a young girl. What big waves can she cause? Besides, we have Old Lady Shi and Jia Yuanchun as bargaining chips. If she has the courage to overturn the verdict, she will be trapped!"

Bai Hexian also said confidently: "Humph! With the deadly poison of our Netherworld City Lord, if she dares to come, we will make sure she never returns."

Concubine Mu asked hurriedly, "Have the fatal secret poisons of your twelve city lords been enhanced recently?!"

Bai Hexian said happily: "As the queen said, our poison refining skills have improved a lot. As long as the opponent uses his power, he will be poisoned immediately. Moreover, there is no antidote for these newly refined toxins in the world."

The imperial concubine smiled brightly and said, "Now, we are going to have a good show! An Nuo's family is already lying in the coffin. It is difficult for them to survive if they don't die! All the evidence is in our hands. It will be extremely difficult to overturn the case!"

On the morning of March 3, the capital was tense again. The Shadowless Army and Meteor Army of Nether City were lurking around the Dali Temple again. The mayors of the twelve sub-cities looked around fiercely, like eagles staring at rabbits, ready to swallow up all the righteous forces in the world at any time.

The twelve leaders of Lingxi Pavilion, each of them righteous and heroic, led the people of Lingxi Pavilion and actively cooperated with all the actions of the Meteor Army. They were dedicated to protecting justice, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, illuminating the hearts of the people in the capital.

These twelve city lords and twelve pavilion masters are ready to fight to the death for the two evil forces. Although it is already the beginning of March, the sky above the capital still seems to be shrouded in a layer of low black clouds, which is terrifying and suffocating.

The emperor, who was recuperating in the Minghe Hall, had naturally long been aware of the confrontation between the two forces. He thought to himself, "The storm is coming! The situation is about to change! But... the swordplay between Youming City and Lingxi Pavilion... Could it be that Xiao Bian Que is still alive?... Zhen'er is still here?..."

The emperor secretly asked Shi Chengyu to find a way to pass the golden talisman that mobilized the world's troops to his younger brother, Prince Yi Zhong. Once the troops of Nether City and Lingxi Pavilion went to war, as long as they had a firm will, they would be immediately destroyed by all the forces in the world.

At this time, the capital city was full of hidden dangers, the two armies were in a stalemate, and ambushes were set on all sides, ready to break out at any moment. The emperor also had to watch the fire from the other side of the river: "Who are these two sects in the arena really protecting?!"
