Chapter 155: Clues Point to the King of Qi
In Prince Rui's mansion, although Prince Rui's high fever had not subsided, he had already woken up. All the imperial doctors said that they were powerless to do anything about Prince Rui's legs. Prince Rui was so angry that he fainted again after hearing what the imperial doctors said. Fortunately, the imperial doctors' medical skills were still good, and Prince Rui woke up again.
That evening, Chief Lin of the Imperial Hospital and Doctor Xu, who specialized in external injuries, knelt in the imperial study to apologize. "Your Majesty, the joint bones of Prince Rui's legs at both knees and ankles were shattered. We are helpless."
The emperor knew how serious Prince Rui's leg injury was on the first day. He had no hope of curing it, but he couldn't bear it, so he ordered the Imperial Hospital to do its best to treat him.
The emperor did not vent his anger on the imperial physician and waved his hand to let the two of them go away.
Prince Rui's incident at Chaohualou resulted in the company being temporarily closed until the truth could be ascertained. That same evening, the Jingzhao Prefecture discovered the bodies of two secret guards, found dead next to the room where Prince Rui had been killed. The Ministry of Justice, taking over, searched Chaohualou again but found no clues. However, they found the guards' wounds strange and unlikely to be caused by ordinary swords or blades.
The emperor openly ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate, and also asked the Divine Shadow Guard to investigate secretly.
The Divine Shadow Guard was very skilled in investigating cases and soon discovered several unusual things.
"Your Majesty, I have found some clues."
The emperor signaled the Divine Shadow Guard to continue.
"Both of His Royal Highness Prince Rui's secret guards were killed with a single blow. The wounds appeared to be from a three-edged crescent blade. The other secret guard was clutching a small piece of cloth that looked like it had been torn from a robe. This kind of cloth is commonly worn by His Royal Highness Prince Jin's guards."
The triangular crescent knife is two palms long. As the name suggests, the blade is cast in a triangular crescent shape. The triangular blade has greater lethality. Anyone injured by the triangular crescent knife will bleed heavily and will basically die if not treated in time.
This kind of weapon is rarely used. The emperor has carefully investigated the secret guards under several princes. The only known person who uses the three-edged crescent knife is a secret guard named Ling Yi under the command of Prince Qi. Ling Yi rarely carries out missions and is considered the trump card in Prince Qi's hand. It can be said that basically no one knows that there is a person named Ling Yi who uses the three-edged crescent knife in the Prince Qi's mansion.
Of course, the King of Qi thought he had kept it a secret, but in fact, not only the Divine Shadow Guards knew about it, but Xiao Yibai also knew about it, and Xiao Yibai even imitated the three-edged crescent knife in case of emergency.
The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you checked the recent situation of these people?"
The Divine Shadow Guard knew the Emperor was asking about the princes and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we've checked. Five days ago, His Royal Highness Prince Rui ordered the patrol to block the road south of the city leading to Prince Jin's mansion for nearly two quarters of an hour at the beginning of the evening hour. That was the day His Royal Highness Prince Jin's personal guard, Qiyun, married Princess Jin's maid, Xiaotao. That time coincided with the time when His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Jin were returning home."
The Divine Shadow Guard glanced at the Emperor, and seeing his expression remained unchanged, he continued, "We haven't found out what happened during those two quarters of an hour. Furthermore, the leader of the Chen family's death squad in Dragon Ridge Mountain entered Prince Qi's mansion last night and stayed there for about half an hour. Upon exiting, he left the city without any contact with the Chen family."
The Emperor had not touched the Death Squad since the discovery of the Dragon Ridge Mountain's Death Squad, because the Divine Shadow Guards had found out that although the Death Squad appeared to be raised by the Chen family, its leader was actually the Prince of Qi's man. The Chen family might not have known that the Death Squad they had raised for so many years was actually secretly obeying the Prince of Qi's orders.
Because it was only a preliminary assessment and had not been verified, and the Death Battalion had existed for ten years, and the King of Qi was only twenty years old this year, and he was only ten years old ten years ago, the Emperor ordered the Divine Shadow Guards to continue investigating. Judging from the information currently found, this Death Battalion had been secretly following the King of Qi's orders in the past few years.
After hearing this, the emperor asked again, "Have you verified the identity of that piece of cloth?"
The Divine Shadow Guard replied, "The rags look new, as if they've never been washed. This kind of fabric is very strong and can't be torn easily. Moreover, this kind of fabric is not exclusive to Prince Jin's Mansion."
The implication is very clear. This piece of cloth may just be a piece of cloth and not really torn from anyone's clothes. It may be used to frame someone.
This method of frame-up is not very clever. It cannot prove Xiao Yibai's guilt, but it can make people suspect Xiao Yibai.
The emperor's eyes were filled with gloom. "Send someone to keep a close eye on the King of Qi and report any unusual movements."
The Divine Shadow Guards received the order and withdrew. Eunuch Lu saw that the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with a serious expression, not even looking at the memorials on the dragon table. He walked to the door and whispered a few words to the young eunuch waiting outside. Soon, the young eunuch brought over a pot of hot tea.
Eunuch Lu poured the emperor a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your throat. Prince Rui is a lucky man. Who knows, there may be a miracle doctor among the people who is good at treating bone injuries."
The emperor took a sip of tea, as if he had finally made up his mind. "Go and call Princess Jin over. You go in person, and Prince Jin doesn't have to follow."
Eunuch Lu took the order and left. The emperor picked up the teacup and took a few sips.
Xiao Yibai couldn't let Mu Xiyue enter the palace alone. He could guess the purpose of his father summoning Yueyue to the palace.
Mu Xiyue didn't understand at first, but Eunuch Lu only said that the emperor was in a bad mood after meeting the two imperial doctors. Then she understood the emperor's purpose. Of course she could cure Prince Rui's leg, but how could she possibly treat Prince Rui?
Xiao Yibai insisted on following Mu Xiyue, so no one tried to persuade him. When they arrived outside the imperial study, Xiao Yibai was stopped outside the door, and the emperor only saw Mu Xiyue.
Mu Xiyue entered and knelt politely, "Daughter-in-law greets the emperor, may the emperor be well!"
The emperor no longer looked gloomy, but he was still clearly in a very bad mood. He said calmly, "Yue'er, please stand up. Do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"
Mu Xiyue stood up and said calmly, "Father, your daughter-in-law doesn't know."
The emperor stared at Mu Xiyue for a while before slowly speaking, "Can you heal Prince Rui's legs?"
Mu Xiyue answered without thinking: "Father, your daughter-in-law is not a doctor and cannot treat the leg."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, his voice still calm, "I know you can heal injuries. When you and Prince Jin were assassinated while traveling south, you were able to quickly heal a severely injured secret guard. Now that Prince Rui is seriously injured, you must do your best. If you can get him back on his feet, I will reward you handsomely."
At that time, the Qilin Guards were accompanying him, so it was not surprising that the emperor knew that Mu Xiyue could make people recover quickly. Mu Xiyue did not give in. "Father, I heard that Prince Rui's knee joints were broken. My daughter-in-law is not a fairy, and she cannot restore broken bones."
The emperor stared at Mu Xiyue's expression, and seeing that she was very sincere, he believed her a little. However, the imperial physician was helpless. Mu Xiyue was Prince Rui's last hope, and the emperor still did not give up and confirmed it again.
"Is it really impossible?"
Mu Xiyue shook her head. "Really? My daughter-in-law doesn't know any medical skills. She just has internal abilities that stimulate the body's vitality and speed up wound healing. But if a bone is broken, no matter how much you speed up the healing process, it won't grow back on its own."
She originally wanted to talk nonsense about activating human cells or something, but changed her mind when the words came to her lips. She thought that even if she was going to talk nonsense, she would use words that people of this era could understand. It should be okay to say this. Anyway, my arrogant side is real. I can't treat Prince Rui's leg.
