Doctor Zhang frowned, but after a while his brows gradually relaxed and he said, "Don't worry, eunuch. The princess was frightened and in a state of nightmare. She needs to rest for a few days and take some medicine to calm her nerves and replenish her blood. She will be fine."

Hearing this, Eunuch He's frown suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, which already had fine wrinkles. "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Zhang. Now the Empress can rest assured."

Doctor Zhang smiled and said, "Eunuch He, there is no need to be polite. The princess is a lucky person."

He then instructed Caiyi who was standing beside him, "I will write a prescription for calming the mind and replenishing the blood. Just follow my prescription, and the princess will wake up within a day. Do not give the princess any other medicine, understand?"

Caiyi nodded quickly, "Yes."

Why did she feel that the imperial physician also knew the truth?

Eunuch He added, "The Queen Mother ordered us to bring ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and top-grade blood swallows. Imperial Doctor Zhang can use whatever he thinks is useful."

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "Yes. Ginseng and Ganoderma can be used in small amounts, but not in excessive amounts, as they will make the body weak and unable to benefit from the nourishment. Blood swallow is very good for the princess's health, and you can drink a cup of it every day before going to bed."

Doctor Zhang wrote a prescription and gave it to Caiyi, then left the bedroom with Eunuch He.

After Caiyi sent them away, Su Lingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Eunuch He's appearance, my aunt really did send him to visit her.

My aunt is still the same aunt as before!

"Miss, why do I feel like Doctor Zhang seems to know something?" Caiyi said with a frown.

Su Lingyue said calmly, "He should know. He is a cunning man. It is not enough for him to be in charge of the Imperial Hospital with good medical skills, he also needs to be smart. When he came in, your words had already reminded him. He said this just to follow the steps you gave him."

Caiyi didn't care, as long as Doctor Zhang didn't talk nonsense.

Just as Eunuch He and his companions left, Caidie came back and told them what she had learned in the front yard.

Sure enough, it was as she expected.

The prince was involved, so her father must be involved.

Caidie stood in front of the bed with a beaming face and said, "Miss, you don't know that the prince wanted to question the words of the eldest prince of Xiliang, but he was too impatient and exposed himself for framing the prince. According to Lai Fu, when the prince realized it, his face turned black!"

Caiyi echoed the sigh: "The prince was able to persuade the eldest prince to testify for him. This is the first time I've heard of a victim's family taking the initiative to clear the suspect!"

Caidie crossed her arms and held her chin, thinking, "Could it be that he heard that the prince saved his brother and was so moved that he took the initiative to come out and clarify?"

Based on Su Lingyue's understanding of Xiao Yu, he would not do anything without certainty.

Su Lingyue said: "I don't think so. What if the eldest prince and the fourth prince don't have a good relationship? When the prince comes back, we'll find out by asking."

Caidie fell into thought, "That's right! Look at the two princes of Daning. They are like fighting cocks when they meet!"

Su Lingyue was amused by her words again.

"The next doctor is coming, stop talking!" Su Lingyue said while holding back her laughter.

Caidie slapped her forehead and said, "Miss, I was so happy that I forgot to tell you."

"Just now I was quietly checking the situation in the hall in the front yard. The prince saw me and asked Yan Qing to pass on a message that he would let everyone at the door disperse in a while. Miss, you can sleep peacefully. The prince will come back to accompany you after he has dealt with the affairs in the hall."

Su Lingyue frowned, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.

Judging from the walking distance, when Caidie was in the hall, Eunuch He and the others were still here. How did Xiao Yu know?

Xiao Yu knew that Eunuch He and Imperial Physician Zhang were coming, but before they left, Xiao Yu had the people at the door sent away.

Is it...

Forget it, I don't want to.

She didn't sleep last night, so she was really sleepy. She would ask Xiao Yu when he came back and she would know.

After asking Caidie Caiyi to fetch her some water to wash off the makeup on her face, Su Lingyue fell into deep sleep again.

When Dali Temple Minister Duan Xu, Ministry of Justice Minister Zhang Zhong and Inspector General Meng Jue came to the palace hall again, they saw that the hall was full of people, about twenty or thirty people.

This time, Xiao Changshi did not follow.

There are children of wealthy families, beggars and common people, old people, and children.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Duan Xu asked in confusion.

Xiao Yu said calmly, "They are all witnesses to this case. They were all present on the day when Princess Chaohua bumped into the princess. The few behind are waiters at the inn. The three adults can ask them about what happened on that day."

Duan Xu pointed at a young man at random and asked, "What did you see that day?"

The man told Duan Xu everything he saw and heard that day.

"Where did the dagger go later? Did you see it clearly?" Duan Xu asked the young man in front of him.

"I remember...the princess lost the dagger."

"No." said the person next to him.

"I don't remember either," another person agreed.

"It's definitely lost. I saw the princess lose it." someone said.

"It's definitely lost. I even saw someone pick it up later, so I missed it!" a teenage boy echoed.

Duan Xu asked the child kindly, "Did you really see it? Do you remember what that person looked like?"

The child said: "I remember, but I'm not tall enough, so I can only see half of his face."

Zhang Zhongxi came over with surprise: "It's okay, I have a painter in the Ministry of Justice who can draw the whole picture with partial details. He has helped us solve many cases."

Next, they handed the task of recording the group's statements to their second-in-command, while the three of them recorded what Li Mao and Xiao Yu said.

It was already evening when all the work was done.

The three judges took the confession and the witnesses and left the palace.

Seeing that everyone had left, Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Your Highness Prince Su, I have done what I should do. Now can you tell me where Li Jue is?"

Xiao Yu curled his lips lightly and said, "Of course, follow me."

Yan Qing supported Xiao Yu and walked out of the hall. Li Mao suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and followed Xiao Yu.

They walked through the corridor, went around the rockery, and stopped in front of another courtyard called Hengzhiyuan.

In front of the courtyard, a team of palace soldiers surrounded the courtyard tightly. When Li Mao looked up, he saw two black-clad guards with swords on their waists standing on the roof.

Are you going to put him under house arrest?

Li Mao frowned and asked, "Your Highness Prince Su, who are these men in black..."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "My guards are specially assigned to protect this courtyard!"

Yan Qing then added, "An expert that you can't hire even if you spend money!"

Li Mao felt a little guilty about his suspicion just now, but Xiao Yu didn't seem to care at all, and his expression was still indifferent and distant.

When the palace soldiers saw Xiao Yu coming, they saluted and opened the gate of the courtyard.

Li Mao thought of the pool of blood and felt a little panicked. "How is Li Jue?"

He asked nervously.

"Your Highness, why don't you go in and take a look yourself?" As they spoke, they had already entered the yard.

There were no soldiers in the yard, but there were a few servants guarding there.

Xiao Yu faced a room and said, "The fourth prince is inside."

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Li Mao strode to the door and pushed it open.
