"Doctor Liu, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect..." Yu Chengfeng said to Liu Xihua with a little apology.

"Just now it was Imperial Physician Liu! Now it's Doctor Liu? You are no different from those ungrateful people who are abandoned after their friends have died! Hypocritical!" Liu Xihua pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Ah! Sorry, I just said it casually! Of course it's Doctor Liu!" Yu Chengfeng quickly apologized.

"Humph!"

"Doctor Liu, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have been poisoned to death!" Yu Chengfeng expressed his gratitude again, "To express my apology, you must come to dinner tonight!"

"I'm afraid you don't have any real intention in the bar. You are afraid that someone will poison you again, so you let me try the poison first!" Liu Xihua sharply pointed out Yu Chengfeng's true intention.

Yu Chengfeng smiled awkwardly: "What are you saying, Doctor Liu! I really want to express my gratitude to you!"

"Forget about the thanks!" Liu Xihua said generously: "Why don't we do something real? Empty words are really boring!"

Yu Chengfeng immediately understood what Liu Xihua meant and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry! Since you saved me, I will definitely reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

"That's more like it!" Liu Xihua raised her head proudly.

Fang Shixiu's fist was about to break, he didn't expect Liu Xihua to be so powerful. His deployment was so precise, as long as Yu Chengfeng drank a sip of tea, it could cost him his life, and any chopsticks of food could send him away. Liu Xihua saw through it. This was the first time that his mission was so unsuccessful. Yu Chengfeng was going to ascend the throne the next day. If he failed to complete Prime Minister Ji's order, he would commit suicide!

"No risk, no gain!" Fang Shixiu is ready to take the field himself. He will definitely send Yu Chengfeng to his death tonight!

Soon, the quiet night came again.

Yu Chengfeng is not going to sleep tonight. He knows that a fierce battle is waiting for him, but he will not fight an unprepared battle today.

There were three layers of imperial guards lying in ambush outside, and they definitely accounted for the majority in terms of numbers.

In addition, he said all the nice things to Liu Xihua and got a bunch of poison, both for spraying and for scattering. As long as there was an enemy close by, there was no hope of leaving alive.

"The boss is awake!"

"Du Ran is awake!"

Someone outside started shouting excitedly.

Yu Chengfeng, who was originally a little sleepy, woke up immediately and ran outside.

Du Ran woke up! He was excited at first. He was happy with his reaction, which proved that he was not an ungrateful person! He said that he must be a good person.

Halfway through the run, he realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw a group of men in black flying towards him.

This group of people was obviously more aggressive than the men in black last time, and their kung fu was also more advanced.

Yu Chengfeng understood that they had deliberately woken Du Ran up to let him relax his vigilance, and walked out of the room. Fortunately, he did not leave far, and the guards heard the fighting and quickly swarmed over.

"If you want to kill me, let's see if you have the ability to do so!" Yu Chengfeng had poison in his hand and was not panicked at all.

It turned out that the medicine given by Liu Xihua was really good. After a while, three of them were given.

Fang Shixiu, wearing a mask, looked at the man in black on the ground, and attacked Yu Chengfeng with anger.

Yu Chengfeng couldn't resist at all and had no chance to use the poison again.

These men in black cooperated perfectly. Under the cover of the men in black outside, the man in the middle only needed to deal with Yu Chengfeng.

"Who sent you here?" Yu Chengfeng said breathlessly.

"All you need to know is that tonight is the anniversary of your death!" said the man in black.

Yu Chengfeng just felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"If it's hiring a killer, I'll give you ten times the money and won't hold you responsible for anything. How about that?" Yu Chengfeng tried to bribe him.

"Hmph!" The man in black was not moved at all, so Yu Chengfeng speculated that this was not a murder for hire, but someone's loyal subordinate, and that someone was most likely Prime Minister Ji.

It’s better to take advantage of the situation!

Yu Chengfeng was stabbed by the man in black accidentally on purpose, and then half-knelt on the ground in pain, seemingly having no strength to fight back anymore.

There was still fighting going on all around, but the fight between the man in black and Yu Chengfeng seemed to be a done deal. Yu Chengfeng had no power to fight back and could only allow the man in black to kill him.

"I accept my fate! However, before I die, I also want to die knowingly! Who can't stand me so much? Who wants to kill me? Who wants the throne?" Yu Chengfeng lowered his head and growled unwillingly.

The man in black sneered and pointed his sword at Yu Chengfeng's neck: "There is no need to tell you even if you are about to die!"

Just when the long sword was about to stab down, Yu Chengfeng pulled out a handful of powder from his arms and sprinkled it directly over, then rolled to the side. The man in black was blinded by the powder, and he couldn't see anything in pain. The next second, he only knew that his mask was taken off.

"Fang Shixiu? Prime Minister Ji's man!" Yu Chengfeng saw his appearance clearly.

When the other men in black saw that their leader was exposed, they became somewhat confused. The guards took the opportunity to rush forward, disrupting their formation and quickly surrounded them.

The facts are very clear. It was Prime Minister Ji who sent people to kill him. Now there is evidence. Yu Chengfeng feels that his injuries were not in vain!

"It doesn't matter if you want to commit suicide! Anyway, it's enough for me to know that Fang Shixiu is Prime Minister Ji's man! You can die at will!" Yu Chengfeng said lightly, and then asked the guards to tie up everyone and wait for tomorrow's trial.

Fang Shixiu lost his sight, which was undoubtedly more painful than death.

The next day, before ascending the throne.

Yu Chengfeng held an on-the-spot trial in the court.

"Prime Minister Ji, do you recognize him?" Yu Chengfeng pointed at Fang Shixiu who was kneeling in the center.

Prime Minister Ji looked at him and felt uneasy. Since Yu Chengfeng asked him this, he must know that Fang Shixiu was his subordinate. It would be too deliberate to deny it at this time.

"Your Majesty, he is my guard. But why is he here? He asked for leave from me two days ago and said he was going back to his hometown. How could he..." Prime Minister Ji found a seemingly perfect excuse to completely distance himself from the matter.

"Oh? Really? That's such a coincidence. Last night, he teamed up with a group of people to kill me!"

"What!" Everyone present was shocked. Assassinating the emperor in the palace was too bold!

"It seems that he doesn't want me to ascend the throne today! Tell me, who will be harmed by my ascending the throne?" Yu Chengfeng looked at the ministers below leisurely, not missing any subtle expressions of any of them.

Prime Minister Ji began to sweat on his back.

"Your Majesty! I have employed the wrong people and failed to manage my own guards. I am guilty and should be punished!" Prime Minister Ji knelt down.

These words seemed to hold Yu Chengfeng morally hostage, as if it had nothing to do with him, but since his people had made a mistake, he had to be punished, so that he could prove his innocence.

Yu Chengfeng nodded and continued along with Prime Minister Ji's words: "I think you are also wrong!"

Everyone present was shocked again.
