Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 376 Serious Questions
Leng Xue guarded her closely, not letting anyone get close to her. In this way, they successfully reached a corner of the execution ground and observed everything quietly.
From here, you can see the front of the execution platform. Soon after, a carriage slowly drove over, carrying a middle-aged man covered in blood. The executioner took him to the guillotine.
The man curled up his body and kept repeating: "I don't know... I really don't know..."
Ye Yunzi narrowed her eyes and observed carefully.
Leng Xue beside him frowned slightly, "Miss, this scene is too bloody, let's not watch it."
However, Ye Yunzi stared at the middle-aged man closely, as if trying to discover something from him.
"The time has come, execute the sentence." The executioner gave the order.
The executioner removed the wooden sign from the middle-aged man's back and raised his sword high in preparation for execution.
The middle-aged man continued to mutter in a daze until the last moment, when he suddenly looked up with a blank gaze. At that moment, Ye Yunzi saw his eyes through his messy hair.
No! Sure enough, no!
Her heart sank and she unconsciously took a few steps back.
As the executioner's knife flashed, blood gushed out, and the middle-aged man's head rolled to the ground, covered with mud.
"Heh..." Ye Yunzi sneered, feeling mixed emotions.
Leng Xue immediately stepped forward and supported her, her face full of concern, thinking that she was frightened by this cruel scene.
Ye Yunzi said in a low but firm voice: "He is not Divine Doctor Mu."
"What? Not Doctor Mu?" Leng Xue opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Ye Yunzi's face turned pale. She held Leng Xue's hand tightly and said softly, "Let's go."
The two returned to the mansion.
Ye Yunzi kept replaying the face of the middle-aged man in her mind. There was no mole in his eye, but the real Mu Yan did.
“The Fourth Prince’s power is so great that he can even infiltrate the Heavenly Prison,” she muttered to herself.
Obviously, in order to preserve Mu Yan's poison and disguise skills, the Fourth Prince did not hesitate to replace the key figure with a substitute.
"Miss, are you sure that person is not Doctor Mu?" Leng Xue confirmed again.
Ye Yunzi nodded affirmatively, "Mu Yan has an obvious black mole in her eye, but the person executed today did not have one. This proves that the person who was killed just now was just a substitute."
Today, if Ye Yunzi had not gone to the execution ground in person, no one would have noticed that the person being executed was not Doctor Mu.
Even if someone knew the truth, it would be useless because the emperor would not believe it, and Mu Yan had already changed her appearance and disappeared in the crowd, making it difficult to find her trace.
Ye Yunzi always felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart, and her right eyelid kept twitching, as if the dark clouds in the sky were pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe.
In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Mu Yan had turned into a woman who looked to be in her thirties. It was impossible to imagine that she was the divine doctor Mu who had just been beheaded.
At this moment, her face was gloomy and she was following the clues intensively.
In order to make up for her mistake, she must seize this opportunity to find out the truth of the matter and uncover the culprit behind it.
The problem originated from the health-preserving pill. The news that the pill contained poison had somehow leaked out, and the layout was so sophisticated that she was caught off guard.
You know, she is one of the best in the world when it comes to using poison. Who discovered this secret?
Finally, she found the key clue in a teahouse: a rare ingredient in the health-preserving elixir, ground wood fragrance.
This kind of medicinal material was not commonly used in the palace, so in order to avoid suspicion, Mu Yan arranged for someone to secretly purchase it outside the palace. But unexpectedly, it was this link that went wrong.
After learning that it was the actions of the servants of the Su Mansion that led to the exposure of the matter, Mu Yan sneered and whispered: "It seems that the people of the Su family are quite capable."
After reporting the results of the investigation to the Fourth Prince, his eyes instantly became fierce, and he sent his men to conduct an in-depth investigation. It was soon discovered that the servants of the Su Mansion had followed outside the palace one day, and Ye Yunzi herself had rarely visited the Seventh Prince.
Afterwards, the poisoning incident of the Seventh Prince and the poison in the health-preserving elixir were revealed.
Obviously, all this pointed to Ye Yunzi. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, and Baili Ye's face was as cold as ice.
"Sir, this matter should not be delayed. Ye Yunzi must be eliminated." Mu Yan knelt on one knee and said. She thought Ye Yunzi was both smart and dangerous, and keeping her alive would only bring more trouble.
After a moment of silence, Baili Ye ordered coldly: "Go do it."
"As you command." Mu Yan responded excitedly, her hands trembling slightly with excitement. She had long been dissatisfied with this woman who always appeared beside the adults, and now she finally had the opportunity to get rid of the biggest worry in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel excited. At the same time, Baili Ye looked into the distance, his expression still cold and ruthless.
Originally, Baili Yan thought that Ye Yunzi's cleverness might come in handy, and intended to recruit her. But now, he only had deep hostility towards her. Anyone who disrupted his plan must be eliminated as soon as possible. Ye Yunzi knew nothing about this.
The Su Mansion gradually returned to its former tranquility.
After the seventh prince recovered, the emperor gave him generous rewards to thank Su Taigong for recommending the miracle doctor.
This greatly increased the reputation of the Su family, and many wealthy and powerful families came to give gifts, hoping to make friends with them.
However, Su Taigong adhered to his principles, treated everyone equally, and finally declined all the gifts.
In the palace, the emperor wanted to retain Tao Qiming, but the quack doctor said frankly that he was not suited to palace life and firmly refused.
He was the first one who dared to reject the emperor directly, which made the emperor slightly displeased.
Baili Yan immediately stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, explaining that a master like Tao Qiming was indeed not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time, and only needed to be summoned into the palace when necessary.
Only then did the emperor reluctantly agree to let him go.
After leaving the palace, Tao Qiming sighed with relief and decided never to set foot in that place again, as it was full of pressure.
The few of them gathered again. At this time, Baili Yan's eyes looking at Ye Yunzi had become complicated, which was very different from before.
Noticing this change, Ye Yunzi deliberately cleared her throat and asked, "How is the Seventh Prince's health now?"
"He has fully recovered." Baili Yan replied.
At this time, Tao Qiming came over and stood between the two of them, interrupting their conversation. "Don't forget who prepared the antidote. Even a person with only one breath left can immediately become full of life after drinking it." He said with a bit of pride on his face.
"You are indeed a great doctor." Baili Yan smiled in approval.
Then the topic turned to a more serious issue.
"It's a pity that despite all the careful arrangements, we were unable to catch the real mastermind behind the scenes." Baili Yan said with a frown.
Ye Yunzi did not hide anything and told him about Mu Yan. After hearing this, Baili Yan was very surprised and it took him a long time to digest the news.
