The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 499 You Killed the Princess

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Ye Wenyan, and Mu lowered her voice and asked her, "Yan'er, what's going on?"

Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't know. She was fine when I came back, and was still talking nonsense with Chi Fuyin and the others. How could she die suddenly?" She asked the doorman, "Who told you that?"

The doorman quickly stepped aside to make way for the officer who was following behind him.

The official immediately bowed to Ye Wenyan, then lowered his voice and said, "What the Fourth Miss said is right. The eldest princess has been going crazy in the Princess Mansion. The prefect and Minister Jiang took turns to interrogate her but could not find out anything. She said nothing and just kept cursing Bei Qi. But while cursing, she suddenly started bleeding from her mouth and nose, and it was black blood, pouring out in streams. In just a short while, she died, and even the imperial physician didn't arrive. The prefect asked me to come and tell the Fourth Miss quickly, and the Fourth Miss was prepared in her heart that this matter might be used to make a fuss."

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, "Black blood coming out of the mouth and nose, that's a sign of poisoning. Did the princess take the poison herself?"

The officer shook his head. "No, because when she died, she kept saying that someone had murdered her, and she even pointed to you, the fourth young lady."

"That's a malicious frame-up." Zhuier took over the conversation, "It's possible that she took the poison herself, and then tried to harm my young lady at the last minute. She can't escape the charge of colluding with the enemy, and even if she can survive, her life won't be as arrogant as before, so she may think that living is worse than death, so she simply took the poison herself, and then put the blame on my young lady."

The more Zhuier talked, the more she felt that this was the case. "Just like the incident with the child falling into the water, wasn't it someone from the Princess's Mansion who pushed him in? And then they said my young lady was the murderer. If it weren't for the fact that the child was still alive, my young lady wouldn't be able to explain this matter clearly even if she had a mouth all over her body. So if this is the case..." She glanced at Ye Wenyan and asked in a low voice, "Miss, is it only by letting the Princess survive that we can clear our suspicion? But if she is determined to harm you, then it's useless for her to be alive, right?"

Ye Wenyan nodded. Indeed, if the princess really committed suicide by taking poison, then they were determined to pin the blame on her. Even if she saved her life, it would be useless. She would not change her words.

Besides, she was only a member of the Xuanmai Ye family after all. Xuanmai was not as good as Lingmai, so she was not yet at the level of being able to revive the dead. Unless the eldest princess died in front of her and her soul had not been away from her body for too long, she could use magic to collect her soul and then send it back to her original body.

But the eldest princess did not die in front of her. After going back and forth, by the time she arrived, she was already dead. How could she find her soul?

The eldest princess was not like the original Fourth Miss Ye. She shared a body with Fourth Miss Ye, so she could communicate with the original owner's soul before the seventh day. But the eldest princess couldn't. There was no connection between the eldest princess and her, and the obsession was not with her, so she was powerless.

"What do you two adults say about this?" She asked the official, "Have you found the murderer?" The official nodded, "We are investigating. We have sealed the princess's mansion and sent people to other official residences. All the guests who attended the banquet last night will be interrogated one by one, regardless of their identities. But I have come all the way to the general's mansion, and I haven't heard that they have found out anything. Miss, please keep this matter in mind. Later, the officials may come to ask a few routine questions. The prefect said that Lin'an Prefecture is definitely on Miss's side and will never believe that Miss would use such means to kill the princess. Lord Jiang also asked me to tell me that the Ministry of Justice will also stand with Miss, but I don't know what other government offices will say."

Hearing this, Ye Jingsheng finally understood. The princess was dead, and she was poisoned. Now Ye Wenyan became the primary suspect, and the government officials would come to interrogate her soon!

He began to get excited, and at the same time he rebuked the official's words: "What do you mean Lin'an Prefecture is on her side? Lin'an Prefecture is the parent official of all the people in our Lin'an City. As the prefect, he, Chi Hongfang, must be fair and just. How can he bend the law for personal gain? He started to take sides before the truth came out, and he stood on the side of the suspect. He is a really good parent official!" He became more and more excited, "Although I didn't go to celebrate the birthday of the princess last night, my daughter went. After she came back, she told me everything that happened in the princess's mansion. So many eyes were watching. From beginning to end, Ye Wenyan was against the princess, and she beat and pinched the princess. Even if the princess was not poisoned, there were blood marks on her neck from her pinching! So why should Chi Hongfang believe her? Even a fool can see that she must have killed the person! Is there any need to investigate this? She should have just arrested the person and locked him up in the government jail!"

He spoke loudly, with an air of sacrificing personal interests for the greater good.

Ye Chulian couldn't listen any longer and retorted, "Fourth sister wouldn't kill anyone! Besides, if she wanted to kill the eldest princess, she could just do it directly. Is it necessary to use poison? Father has said that Fourth sister's suspicion is very obvious. If it's so obvious, why does she need to kill the eldest princess openly? What's the point of poisoning her?"

Ye Feiyu nodded and said, "Whatever our Yan'er does is aboveboard, there is no need to be sneaky."

Mu took a step forward, blocking Ye Jingsheng's hateful gaze towards Ye Wenyan, and said coldly: "You are the second uncle, and the government has not convicted Yan'er of any crime. Why are you so anxious to send your niece to the guillotine? What's more, the eldest princess is a remnant of Qiuhu, and she has kept so many Qiuhu people in the mansion for many years, which means she is plotting a rebellion. Don't say that Yan'er didn't kill her. Even if she did, it was to eliminate harm for the people and to fight against foreign enemies for Northern Qi! In short, she is not guilty!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether she is guilty or not!" Ye Jingsheng snorted coldly, "The princess is a member of the royal family, the biological daughter of the late emperor. Even if she is guilty, it is not the turn of a mere servant to punish her. By doing this, where does the law of Northern Qi stand? Where does the royal family stand? This is an abuse of private punishment, a murder of the royal family! She must be punished! She deserves to die!"

The official who came to report the news was stunned. He looked at Ye Jingsheng in bewilderment. He couldn't understand what deep hatred this Second Master Ye had for his niece. He was trying to kill her! What's more -

"If the Fourth Miss is really guilty of murdering the royal family as the Second Master said, then it is not just her who will die, but your entire Ye family! Even if the Ye family has made great military achievements, they cannot escape the punishment of the entire family."

"Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng, calm down!" Chang Xueqiao quickly persuaded Ye Jingsheng when she heard this, "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, Brother Sheng, don't be angry first." Then he said to the official, "This young man is joking. Our master was just angry and sad because of the death of the eldest princess, so he spoke a little rashly. The fourth young lady is from our family, and we naturally hope that she will be well. Of course, a family should share happiness and difficulties. If this matter was not done by the fourth young lady, we would sue the emperor to seek justice for our child. But if it was really done by the fourth young lady, we will never cover it up."

She took Ye Jingsheng's arm and said to him, "Brother Sheng, although we are angry, we still have to think more about the fourth girl."

Ye Jingsheng took a deep breath and looked at Ye Wenyan, "What is there to think about? The whole city saw what happened at the birthday banquet last night. Who would believe it if she said it wasn't her doing? The eldest princess was the beloved daughter of the late emperor. She married into Qiuhu in her early years. The late emperor has been talking about this for many years, saying that he is sorry for his eldest daughter. He also said that if he could in the future, he would do everything possible to make up for it. No matter how big a mistake the eldest princess made, he could forgive her."

He pointed at Ye Wenyan and said, "Listen, the late emperor said that he could be forgiven, so why can't you forgive him?"

Ye Wenyan looked at him with the corners of her lips curled, her eyes becoming increasingly cold.

"Are you sure I'm the murderer? Fine, then why don't I just admit the crime! And then kill my whole family, what do you think? My dear second uncle, think about it, killing nine generations of my clan!"

Ye Jingsheng shuddered, but it was nothing serious. At this moment, what Ye Wenyan had said before suddenly echoed in his mind again.

She said she didn't know his last name and she said he was a bastard.

Yes, a bastard, a bastard is not a member of the Ye family. He is not a member of the Ye family, so what does it have to do with him to kill all his clans? Ye Jingsheng laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! Kill all his clans! As long as you are willing to take the risk, what do I have to fear?"

Ye Wenyan also laughed, "Yeah, you are not from our Ye family, what are you afraid of? So before we kill the nine clans, let's clean up the door first, drive out those who shouldn't be in the Ye family, and then close the door and confiscate the property and exterminate the clan."

After hearing her words, Mrs. Mu began to have some ideas in her mind. She couldn't help but look at her daughter a few more times, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Instead, Ye Chulian stood next to Ye Wenyan and said loudly, "I am not afraid of being implicated. I am a member of the Ye family in life and a ghost of the Ye family in death. My father can have any surname he wants, but my surname is Ye anyway." After saying that, he pulled Aunt Liu and said, "My aunt has the same surname as me."

Ye Jingsheng snorted coldly, "Okay, if you want to die, I will naturally help you. Why don't you change your household registration like that little beast Ye Feizhou and join the first house! As for you--" He glanced at Liu, "How do you calculate it? Is it considered Ye Jinggui's concubine? Well, that's the way it should be. Only in this way can you continue to be a member of the Ye family. Otherwise, you will be a lonely ghost with nowhere to go." He laughed and felt that his calculation was very good. He also said to the official, "Go back to the yamen quickly and change my daughter's household registration. From now on, she is a member of the first house, the daughter of Mu Qianqiu and Ye Jinggui. And I don't want this concubine of mine anymore. Cross her name out from under my name and put it under Ye Jinggui's name. From now on, she will be Ye Jinggui's concubine!"
