As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Before Mr. Zhao could finish his words, Imperial Physician Zhang had already walked straight up to Captain Wang and took the so-called "evidence" - a packet of medicine powder that looked like residue.

He picked up a little and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff it, then observed it carefully. Then he shook his head and smiled contemptuously: "How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert with such a crude frame-up?"

Captain Wang’s face turned pale and his legs began to tremble.

Doctor Zhang is quite prestigious in the palace, how could he afford to offend him?

He looked at Master Zhao for help, but only received a gloomy face from him.

Doctor Zhang threw the powder back into Captain Wang's hands and said in a loud voice, "This isn't poison, but an ordinary herb deliberately concocted to confuse the public. I've been practicing medicine for decades, and I've never seen anything so absurd!" He turned to Magistrate Li and spoke sternly, "Sir Li, your subordinates are so careless about human life and abuse the law for personal gain. I will report the truth to the court!"

County Magistrate Li was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Doctor Zhang, please judge for sure. I am innocent! I have been deceived..." He secretly glanced at Master Zhao, his eyes full of resentment.

The faces of Master Zhao and Mr. Liu, the wealthy businessman, had already turned ashen.

Their carefully planned conspiracy was easily discovered by an imperial physician who happened to pass by. This sudden change caught them off guard.

Xuanyuan Che watched all this coldly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He came here this time with orders to secretly protect Jiang Yue.

Now that Doctor Zhang has appeared, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

Jiang Yue, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

She looked at Master Zhao and Mr. Liu with a half-smile, a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Master Zhao, Mr. Liu, it seems like your wonderful show can no longer continue."

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Jiang Yue's next move.

She slowly took a step forward, with a cold arc at the corner of her mouth!

Jiang Yue chuckled softly, but the sound struck Zhao Shiye and Liu Fushang's hearts like icicles.

"Master Zhao, you're still a master, but your method of framing others is too crude, aren't you? Do you think the people are fools? And you, Mr. Liu, you usually look kind and benevolent, but you're secretly doing such dirty things. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of Master Zhao and Mr. Liu.

The onlookers were a little confused at first, but after hearing Jiang Yue's words and thinking about what Doctor Zhang said, they immediately understood and pointed at Master Zhao and the wealthy businessman Liu and cursed them.

"How heartless! How dare you frame Miss Jiang!"

"I always thought Mr. Liu was a kind man, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person!"

"Master Zhao, are you worthy of the official hat on your head?"

Master Zhao and Mr. Liu's faces turned from pale to blue, and then from blue to black, as if they had swallowed a fly.

They never imagined that what was once a sure thing would fall through because of a sudden appearance of an imperial physician.

Ding Chen looked at Jiang Yue talking confidently and his eyes were full of admiration.

He felt that Jiang Yue was always charming, and even when imprisoned, she was still able to remain calm and turn defeat into victory.

This calmness and wisdom deeply attracted him.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he must protect Jiang Yue and not let her suffer any harm again.

Jiang Yue ignored the noise around her and continued, "You two, this play should be over now, right? But the person behind the scenes hasn't appeared yet." She looked at County Magistrate Li meaningfully, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

County Magistrate Li's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over him.

He subconsciously wanted to stop Imperial Physician Zhang from reporting the matter to the court, but he was afraid of Imperial Physician Zhang's identity. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

He spoke tremblingly, "Zhang... Doctor Zhang..."

Magistrate Li's official uniform was soaked with cold sweat. He stammered, his face paler than lime. "Zhang... Doctor Zhang, there might be some misunderstanding..."

Imperial Physician Zhang snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Misunderstanding? With all the evidence, how could there be any misunderstanding? As the Imperial Physician, how could I be wrong? Lord Li, as a responsible official, you don't think about serving the people, but instead aid the thieves in their abuses. You truly betray the trust placed in you by the court!"

Jiang Yue took it all in and sneered in his heart.

Magistrate Li's panic and fear were exactly what she wanted.

She recalled the hardships she had experienced, from being imprisoned by Mu Yang, to being framed by Su Yao, to being hunted by Lin Ran, each time was fraught with danger.

She knew that if she couldn't completely solve the problem this time and eradicate it, she would face greater danger in the future.

She would never allow this to happen again.

Her eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, making people dare not look directly at her.

She spoke slowly, her voice cold and firm, "Master Li, at this point, do you have anything else to say?"

Magistrate Li's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He knew that he was completely finished.

He looked at Master Zhao and Mr. Liu for help, but found that they were already scared out of their wits and could not be relied upon at all.

At this moment, a mysterious old man suddenly walked out of the crowd. He had white hair and a youthful face, and he looked like an immortal. He exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

He walked up to Jiang Yue and bowed slightly, "Miss Jiang, I have been ordered to come and help you."

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned, puzzled, but calmly replied, "Who is it, old gentleman?"

The old man smiled mysteriously. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you resolve your current predicament." He turned to look at Magistrate Li, his eyes sharp as an eagle. "Sir Li, you are an official appointed by the court, yet you abuse your power for personal gain and pervert the law. Your crime is unforgivable! Considering your many years of service, I will give you a chance. Confess and I will grant you leniency. If you reveal the mastermind behind this, you might even be able to save your life."

Magistrate Li, as if grasping at a lifeline, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Old sir, spare my life! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! It was... it was Prince Muyang who ordered me to do that..."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, Mu Yang?

Sure enough it was him!

She knew that this matter was definitely related to Mu Yang.

It seems that this time, she has to settle the score with Mu Yang.

Just as everyone was talking about it, Jiang Yue made an unexpected move.

She looked at Master Zhao and Mr. Liu, and said calmly, "As long as you admit your mistakes, I can let bygones be bygones."

Master Zhao and Mr. Liu, the wealthy businessman, looked at each other, unable to believe their ears!

Master Zhao and Mr. Liu, the wealthy businessman, were stunned. They had been greedy and cunning all their lives and had never thought that someone would be so "magnanimous".

The people around were also talking about it. Some praised Jiang Yue for her kindness, while others suspected that she had other intentions.

Ding Chen looked at Jiang Yue worriedly, but saw a meaningful smile on her lips.

This smile reminded Ding Chen of the first time he met Jiang Yue. She smiled sweetly, but she hid another sharp side.

Jiang Yue said slowly: "You only have one chance, so seize it." Master Zhao and businessman Liu looked at each other, feeling uneasy, but finally chose to admit their guilt.

With the confession of County Magistrate Li and the confessions of the two men, the truth of the case was revealed.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to be settled, a mysterious man quietly came to Master Zhao and Mr. Liu.

"Don't be afraid, I have a way!" The voice was hoarse and low, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
