Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"Doctor Zhang, you must be very clear whether I am lying to you or not, right?"

Xie Ziming did not answer but asked a question instead, which directly stumped Imperial Physician Zhang.

Then he walked to the side of Imperial Physician Zhang, took out a jade ring and a purse, and placed them in front of Imperial Physician Zhang.

Imperial Physician Zhang reached out his hand tremblingly, picked up the jade ring that had been broken into two pieces and the blood-stained purse, and tears burst out like a dam bursting.

He had already thought about it a long time ago. He helped them do such a heinous thing, and he would definitely not survive after that. But they promised to let his family go...

Li Junsheng asked in a cold voice, "Zhang Imperial Doctor, who are they you are talking about?"

Imperial Doctor Zhang had collapsed on the ground, closing his eyes in pain. After a moment of silence, he slowly said,

"I don't know who they are, but I received a letter a few days ago, which first mentioned the matter of the ancestral temple. My parents decided to take my son back with them."

"My wife and daughter were not with me at the time, but when I got home from work the next day, I found that my wife and daughter were missing, and then I received a letter.

The letter said that if I did what they wanted, they would be safe, otherwise I would never see them again.

Because of them, I was confused for a moment and made such a big mistake. I hope Your Highness will punish me."

Imperial Physician Zhang finished speaking in one breath. He seemed to have lost all his strength. He couldn't even kneel straight, like a puddle of mud.

"How did the letter they sent you get into your hands, and what did the letter say?" Li Junsheng continued to ask.

"The first letter was sent home and was written in the tone of the clan leader. The second letter was placed directly in my study. There was no signature or any other features on it.

So I never knew who they were, and as for the contents of the letter, I have kept it all along."

After he finished speaking, he took out the two letters from his underwear.

The first letter explained the matter in just a few words, while the second letter was two pages long and contained threats and coercion, and also told him what kind of medicine to use to make the emperor's condition worse.

"In fact, your attack on my father was discovered a long time ago, so we have been secretly observing your movements and the situation of your family.

But by the time we found out, it was too late to save them."

In fact, people like Imperial Physician Zhang, especially the imperial physician responsible for the emperor's safety, and his family are required to stay in the capital.

If it weren't for the incident at the ancestral hall, his parents would definitely not have considered going back.

If he had been a little more alert, things wouldn't have come to this.

"It is all my fault. I have failed to live up to the trust of the Emperor. I will now apologize to the Emperor."

After Imperial Physician Zhang finished speaking, without waiting for their reaction, he stood up and slammed hard into the pillar beside him.

Fortunately, Xie Ziming was very skilled and was not far away from Imperial Physician Zhang, so he acted in time and managed to pull Imperial Physician Zhang down.

However, because Imperial Physician Zhang used too much force, he was pulled so hard by Xie Ziming that he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Li Junsheng was so angry when he saw this that he slammed the two letters on the table, "Damn it, it's really damned..."

"Your Highness, you must remember that the more you encounter such things, the more you must stay calm and composed, and never be too impatient."

Seeing Li Junsheng getting angry, Li Junhao had to comfort him. He had said the same thing to Xiao Shiyi before, but today was the first time Li Junsheng reminded him after becoming the crown prince.

After hearing Li Junhao's reminder, Li Junsheng took two deep breaths and adjusted his mood. Then he waved his hand to let Xie Ziming take Imperial Physician Zhang away, but his eyes were looking at Li Junhao.

"Second brother, what should we do now?"

"The Dali Temple has completely cracked Wang Zhuo and Li Junze's plan. There is no doubt that this is also a part of their operation."

Li Junsheng asked curiously, "What is their plan? Do they need me to make any arrangements?"

"Of course, you are the Crown Prince now, so you will be needed to do many things when they require you to show up." Li Junhao said with a smile.

Then he described in detail to Li Junsheng the action plan mentioned in the letters between Wang Zhuo and Prince of Yan Li Xingxian.

"In seven days, the army of the Prince of Yan will almost arrive near the capital. This time, they are planning to use the fact that my father is being held hostage by the Crown Prince to let the Prince of Yan attack the palace in the name of rescuing the Emperor.

At that time, their main task will be to stop you, me, Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui and everyone else who tries to stop them. To the outside world, we are all the people who kidnapped the Emperor."

Li Junsheng felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. Obviously, they first poisoned the emperor and made him unable to attend the court in the morning, and then his mother and he took care of him. However, they interpreted this matter as that he and his mother had kidnapped the emperor.

In this case, there would be a seemingly reasonable explanation for how he came to be the crown prince.

"Humph, then wait for the Emperor's uncle and his men to enter the palace and clear out all the people who can be cleared out. Then he, Wang Zhuo and Li Junze will bring people in to capture the Emperor's uncle.

So he, Li Junze, naturally became the only heir to the throne."

Li Junsheng had already guessed their subsequent plan without Li Junhao's reminder. It could almost be said that the plan was flawless and very much in line with Wang Zhuo's usual style of doing things.

Li Junhao asked with a smile, "Then, Sheng'er, think about it, why did Wang Zhuo want to push Li Junze to this position so deliberately?"

After hearing this question, Li Junsheng was about to say without hesitation that Li Junze was Wang Zhuo's grandson, but he stopped before opening his mouth.

Such an obvious thing is definitely not the answer to the question asked by my second brother.

However, apart from this question, he really couldn't seem to think of any other possibilities.

So he could only shake his head helplessly, "Second brother, tell me why."

Li Junhao smiled and nodded. If he had not received any news about this matter, he would certainly not dare to make such a guess.

"Li Junze is not the son of the emperor and Yu Zhaoyi."

"What? How dare Yu Zhaoyi be so bold as to do something that goes against palace rules?"

Li Junsheng was very surprised. He thought that the child was the result of Concubine Yu's affair with another man.

"No, no, Sheng'er, be bolder. The truth of this matter is even more incredible."

After Li Junhao finished speaking, he looked at Li Junsheng lovingly.

After listening to this, Li Junsheng was a little confused at first, but soon his eyes widened...
