Shengjing Noble

After investigation and comparison by Doctor Xue, it was discovered that the ambergris used by the emperor at that time was completely different from the ambergris sent into the palace by Lu Yichen. It contained the two extra spices that Su Lanyin had asked to be added.

You have to know that the incense is made by mixing and refining the powdered substances together long ago. It doesn't make sense that there are two extra spices in the warehouse but two less for the emperor.

The final conclusion was that Lu Yichen was framed and the real murderer was someone else.

The emperor has sent the Dali Temple to continue investigating the matter, and many palace servants who have handled spices have been taken away.

The reason why the outside world did not know that the murderer was someone else was because the whole matter was suppressed by the emperor and the empress dowager, who were afraid that once the evidence was exposed it would alert the enemy.

As long as Lu Yichen is still in the Heavenly Prison, the mastermind behind the scenes will relax his vigilance.

These days, the Dali Temple has been investigating day and night, and finally found the culprit.

He was another businessman in the capital who was in the spice business. He was jealous of the Lu family's dominance and wanted to compete for the position of imperial merchant, so he had to use ruthless means to bring down the Lu family.

That's why he came up with such a cruel trick to exterminate nine generations of a family, but he didn't expect that he would suffer the consequences in the end.

After figuring out the whole story, Lu Yichen was brought up.

"Big brother!"

"uncle!"

Seeing that he was safe and sound, and even his hair was meticulously groomed, I knew how hard Lord Li and Doctor Xue took care of him.

If someone else were to be sent to the Heavenly Prison, even if they were innocent, they would have to suffer a lot before they could get out.

"I'm so glad that you're okay. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you for your wisdom!" Lu Wanjun knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Behind the bed curtains, the emperor said coldly, "All of you go out, Su Lanyin stay."

After these words were spoken, Lu Wanjun and Lu Yichen both swallowed nervously, their hearts pounding like thunder, and they were a little at a loss.

Su Lanyin, on the contrary, remained calm and composed. She smiled at the two of them and mouthed: Don't worry, nothing will happen.

The emperor has spoken, so what can they do with their insignificant influence? In the end, they could only leave the bedroom with trepidation.

When Eunuch Zhao Heng left, he closed the heavy door of the palace. Then, the only people left in the palace were the emperor leaning on the bed and Su Lanyin kneeling on the ground.

In the huge palace, one could hear a pin drop, and even the air became thin. Su Lanyin pretended to be calm, but her heartbeat had already become disordered and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

The emperor finally spoke, and asked without any emotion: "Why did you ask Lu Yichen to add two more spices to the ambergris?"

Since Su Lanyin dared to write that letter, she naturally thought of the follow-up countermeasures, but even so, she still felt tremendous pressure.

She lowered her head, trying hard not to let her voice tremble, and replied, "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have obtained an ancient book from 500 years ago, which records the original formula of ambergris, which is exactly the two spices. It's just that the formula is lost because it was lost in later generations. So I am doing this just to improve the formula."

"Heh..." A deep laugh came from behind the bed curtains, "So, you have achieved something unexpected?"

Su Lanyin swallowed, her mind racing.

"Your Majesty is wise. Although this is just a coincidence, it is also God's will. Those who harm others will be punished by God. Moreover, Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and you are protected by the gods. If others dare to take advantage of your safety to murder innocent people and their families, they will definitely be retaliated. We should thank Your Majesty for your great grace!"

She racked her brains and used up almost all the flattering words she had in two lifetimes before she could say it.

It was all her fault that she was only concerned with learning how to be as calm as a chrysanthemum from Liu Ruyan, so she failed to learn the essence of her mother's tactfulness and good manners!

Although Lu Wanjun has a bad temper, when she tries to get close to people, she can flatter them with just a few words.

So Captain Liang Youdao once said that her mother was a born businessman!

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the emperor was very pleased, and even his voice became much softer than before.

The bed curtains were opened layer by layer, and a bright yellow figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The emperor stood up and sat upright on the edge of the bed, his ink-black hair scattered behind him. He was nearly fifty years old and had just recovered from a serious illness, but his face did not look haggard, nor did it show any signs of being worn out by the years.

His eyes were gloomy and contained countless impenetrable rays of light, forcing Su Lanyin to lower her head and dare not look directly at him.

"I heard that you took Xue Qi as your master?"

"Yes." She knelt straight but lowered her head and nodded twice.

"He is the best doctor in the Sheng Dynasty. I once offered my own prince to him as an apprentice, but he refused. Why do you want to be his disciple?"

This is what I asked...

Su Lanyin felt as if there was a thorn in her back.

Master, why don't you accept the prince? She was questioned!

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she spoke tremblingly: "Maybe, maybe Master favors girls over boys..."

This excuse was so bad that even the emperor couldn't help but sneer.

"What a girl-centric approach, hahaha..."

Su Lanyin smiled guiltily, feeling so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"It was thanks to you that I was able to catch the real murderer this time, and avoid killing hundreds of people from the Lu family. You have done a great job, but what reward do you want?"

Su Lanyin was really flattered when the emperor suddenly asked this.

But she must think carefully about this reward.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and immediately raised her head and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I dare to use my merits to pray for a future for my elder brother!"

"Your elder brother?"

"Yes!" Su Lanyin nodded and explained, "My eldest brother is Su Shengyan. You once praised him for being a hero when he was young."

"Oh, I remember that he was a martial arts expert and indeed had the talent to be a general or a minister! But why didn't he pass the imperial examination later?" The emperor looked puzzled.

Su Lanyin said, "When my elder brother was taking the exam for the top martial arts scholar, he was accidentally murdered by a villain. His tendons and veins were broken and he became blind, so he failed the exam."

There was a flash of regret in Huang Shang's eyes: "Since he is already a useless person, how can I give him a future? Su Lanyin, don't be too greedy!"

Su Lanyin was no longer nervous in the face of the warning. Instead, she said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I am now worshipping the divine doctor as my teacher. One day I will be able to cure my brother's eyes and body. By then, can you please allow my brother to take the martial arts exam again?"

"You mean to heal his tendons and eyes?"

This was unbelievable. Even the emperor had never heard of anyone in this world whose broken tendons and veins grew back together.

"Well! The laws of the Sheng Dynasty stipulate that those over the age of eighteen cannot take the exam for the top martial arts scholar. However, that exam is the regret of my elder brother's life, so I would like to ask the emperor for permission. If my elder brother recovers, can you give him another chance?"

Su Lanyin knelt on the ground with her hands supporting her body, her upturned face full of begging and desire. She sincerely wanted to fight for this opportunity for her elder brother from the bottom of her heart.

The emperor was moved, but couldn't help asking: "My reward is not for everyone. Don't you want to fight for such a good opportunity? Do you know that if I grant you a marriage, you can choose even a prince or a general!"
