Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan frowned:

“Your Highness, according to the laws of my Great Yong Dynasty, since I have been granted an official position by the Emperor, I cannot interrogate you privately. You must hand me over to the Three Judicial Offices!”

At that moment, she looked at Cui Rongxing with gratitude.

Because, apart from Choi Young-heung, she couldn't think of anyone else who would help her forward the petition from the people.

Clearly, Gong Beige thought so too.

Her cold gaze swept over Cui Rongxing:

"Lord Cui, I had no idea you were such a warm-hearted person!"

Cui Rongxing could easily sense the chill in Gong Beige's words, and couldn't help but shiver, bending over at almost a ninety-degree angle.

His face was drooping, full of frustration, and beads of sweat were seeping from his cheeks.

Gong Beige ignored him and instead looked at Yu Shuyan, sneering:

"Do you think you can rest easy just because you have such a memorial arch? Today I will show you what it means to go from hope to despair."

Then, he gave instructions to the guards behind him:

"Close the gate. Today, I will stand up for the Zhou and Wang families and interrogate them to find out the whereabouts of their young ladies. If we wait for a joint consultation by the three judicial departments, wouldn't the two young ladies be in grave danger?"

Yu Shuyan unconsciously tightened her grip on the little dumpling, thinking to herself:

This Gong Beige is indeed as rumored, disregarding worldly customs and etiquette, and ruthless and decisive in his methods.

No, if we close the gate, the entire Yu family will be in real danger.

But at this moment, she really didn't know what to do.

Gong Beige looked at her furrowed brows, sneered disdainfully, and glanced at Gong Qiuyan, Eunuch Liu, and the others:

"What, do you intend to interrogate me here alongside me? However, you all know the methods of my shadow guards. It wouldn't be good if you were frightened or accidentally injured!"

Eunuch Liu was the first to nod and fawn over him with a smile:

"Your Highness is too kind. This servant has already delivered the decree and should return to the palace to report. But Your Highness, rest assured, if His Majesty finds out that this woman dared to abduct an official's wife, he will surely revoke the memorial arch and may even issue an edict to convict her. You can interrogate her however you wish, without any burden. After all, you are His Majesty's most cherished sister!"

Gong Beige smiled with extreme satisfaction:

"It's nothing, no need to trouble you, Your Majesty. I'll handle it myself!"

She's just a tiny ant; you can crush her without needing the emperor's help.

Eunuch Liu nodded in agreement:

"That's right, that's right, no wonder His Majesty loves you the most! You're the best at sharing His Majesty's burdens! Then this servant will take his leave!"

Gong Beige nodded slightly.

Eunuch Liu and his entourage withdrew.

Gong Beige glanced coldly at Gong Qiuyan:

"Aunt, are you leaving or..."

Gong Qiuyan frowned, looking at Yu Shuyan with a troubled expression, clearly hesitant:

The attitude of Eunuch Liu just now made her realize once again that, given Gong Beige's current status in the emperor's heart, she shouldn't directly confront her.

What if, even if her son is saved, the emperor destroys the entire Grand Princess's residence?

But what will happen to my son's illness if I leave?

Gong Beige noticed her hesitation and sneered:

“Aunt, please rest assured, Yunchen is also my cousin, and I will certainly not let anything happen to him. After this matter is settled, I will send a fully recovered Yu Shuyan to the Grand Princess’s residence. Furthermore, I will ensure that she will not dare to neglect her treatment.”

Having said all that, Gong Qiuyan had no further reason to confront Yu Shuyan, regardless of the consequences.

Yu Shuyan didn't blame her; everyone has their own selfish motives.

Besides, she and Gong Qiuyan had no relationship whatsoever.

It was she who first exploited her love for her son to help herself escape her predicament.

I just didn't expect Gong Beige to come in person.

With regret and reluctance, Gong Qiuyan took a deep look at Yu Shuyan, finally sighed softly, turned around and slowly prepared to leave.

Gong Beige looked at Yu Shuyan with a cold, pitying yet disdainful gaze:

"Yu Shuyan, I don't know why, but I disliked you the moment I saw you. Your gaze made me very uncomfortable. And naturally, I won't allow someone who makes me uncomfortable to exist."

As he spoke, his eyes, like those of a venomous snake, coiled around the little bundle in her arms:

"Alright, let me help you think about where you took the young ladies from the Zhou and Wang families."

As he spoke, he nodded to the guards behind him.

Immediately, one guard ran to close the door, while the other two rushed towards the little dumpling in Yu Shuyan's arms.

The moment the door closed.

Gong Beige, no longer holding back, simply sneered:

"Today, let me see what your Shadow Guards are capable of. I've heard that in your hands, an adult's bones can be broken into hundreds of pieces, and even if they die, you won't be able to tell anything. I wonder how many pieces you can break a child's bones into!"

At this moment, Yu Shuyan's body was ice-cold. The tragic scene of her little dumpling's death in her previous life once again shocked her heart, making her feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Fu Yuqin and Wu Manting shielded the two children behind them, standing in front of Yu Shuyan and her son.

Gong Beige sneered:

"Those who are eager to die, you can lend them a hand."

Upon receiving the order, the guard drew his sword with a clang and slashed at Wu Manting.

Umanting was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, but refused to move them even an inch.

Yu Shuyan's eyes were bloodshot, and silver needles flashed in her hand; she couldn't care less about anything else.

If that's the case, then kill everyone here.

Although it would be troublesome for the whole family to escape, it's still better than dying here now.

"stop!"

A cold shout made Yu Shuyan put away her silver needles in time, and the guard who was holding the knife also stopped on the spot.

Yu Shuyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with white hair and beard, yet refined and vigorous, walking out from the crowd.

At this moment, everyone realized that the group of people who came with Eunuch Liu, including Cui Rongxing, were still there and had not left.

Wen Langben was thrilled; he felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing Yu Shuyan suffer.

But then he was suddenly interrupted, and he roared in anger:

"Who do you think you are, interfering in the princess's affairs!"

Yu Shuyan also frowned:

She also wanted to know, who was this old man?

How could I dare to call out for help!
