Although Baili Ye has left the capital and given up his identity as the fourth prince, he still has his own spies in the palace so that any subtle changes can be conveyed to him at the first time.

Half an hour later, the men appeared again.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the Imperial Hospital has completed the blood sampling of all the princes and princesses, and the results are all normal."

"everything is normal?"

Baili Ye's brows were furrowed and his voice was cold.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and no one dared to make a sound for fear of causing His Highness' dissatisfaction.

"How is this possible? Baili Yan is not of royal blood at all. He is a wild child brought in from outside. How could there be no clues?"

"The Seventh Prince did participate in the blood draw, and the people from the Imperial Hospital can testify to that." The subordinate answered with his head down.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Baili Ye said to himself, his face full of confusion.

How can this be?

The information he received was definitely not wrong. Baili Yan was not a descendant of the royal family, but a child adopted by Concubine Xian from outside. He had already confirmed this without a doubt.

"How is this going?"

Baili Ye took a few steps back and sat down weakly on the chair.

He dug this secret out from Ye Ziru. He placed two spies around Ye Ziru, one in the open and one in the dark, to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

That day, the scene of Ye Ziru threatening the Seventh Prince was seen by the spy in the dark. Although he could not hear it clearly, it was enough for him to guess the Seventh Prince's true identity.

Later, he verified this speculation through other channels and found that when Empress Xian gave birth, everyone around her died mysteriously.

All this points to one conclusion - Concubine Xian killed people to silence them, and there is something fishy about the Seventh Prince's life story!

After he escaped from the mansion, he secretly planned a rebellion.

However, he did not intend to create a big stir right away, but chose to proceed step by step, starting with weakening his opponent.

His first target was Baili Yan.

To this end, Baili Ye carefully forged a secret letter and submitted it to the emperor.

He believed that once the emperor saw the letter, he would order a blood test to reveal Baili Yan's true identity. However, things did not develop as he expected - everything seemed calm.

Baili Ye sat on the chair, his mind full of questions. Could it be that he had made a mistake in judgment, and Baili Yan was really Concubine Xian's biological son?

At this time, one of the men reported in a low voice: "Sir, I have heard some information that may be related to this blood test."

"Tell me about it." Baili Ye's eyes lit up.

"It is said that the deposed prince of Qing'an Temple was attacked and injured by an unknown person, and his concubine died. This happened the day before the blood test was planned in the palace."

"The deposed crown prince was attacked?"

Baili Ye frowned, and after a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "So that's how it is, Baili Yan, you are really good!"

"Transfusion."

He said these two words coldly, as if all the doubts were solved in an instant.

It turned out that Baili Yan took advantage of the opportunity when the deposed prince was attacked and cleverly replaced the blood sample, thus avoiding exposure of his identity.

Baili Ye originally thought that Baili Yan was just an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that the other party could come up with such a plan. This made him surprised and angry.

"I underestimated you. In that case, I'll find another way." Baili Ye said gritting his teeth.

On the other side, Ye Yunzi and her two companions were rushing to Liuzhou day and night.

For safety reasons, they disguised themselves as ordinary people, pretending to be three men, and were careful along the way, trying to avoid densely populated areas. They would rather spend the night in the wilderness than stay in an inn.

Although nothing happened these few days, Ye Yunzi remained highly alert and did not dare to relax at all.

In just seven days, she suffered a lot in the wild, and her hands became rough. But her eyes were still bright and determined, and she had only one thought in her mind: to find Doctor Xue to save Luo Qi.

"Miss Jiang, we will arrive in Liucheng today."

Tao Qiming seemed a little excited. He was eager to meet his master so that he would feel more at ease.

"No one has been chasing us these past two days. Have Madam Ning and the others given up on us?"

Ye Yunzi asked, with a hint of doubt in her expression.

"Not necessarily. The calmer things are, the more likely something unexpected will happen, just like the calm before the storm." Tao Qiming shook his head.

Now that they knew Madam Ning's secret, she would definitely not let them go easily.

Ye Yunzi was still thinking about a question: when she was assassinated two days ago, she had questioned who sent those men in black.

When Madam Ning's name was mentioned, the other party sneered, and it was obviously not Madam Ning's order.

So who was it? This question kept her awake at night, and she tried to find the connection between Lady Ning and the Princess of Nanyue, but she could never find the answer.

Seeing Ye Yunzi frowning, Tao Qiming comforted her softly:

"Miss Ye, don't worry, Brother Ning will be fine. My master is a highly skilled doctor. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will be able to save the person and will definitely be able to remove the poison from Brother Ning's body."

Ye Yunzi nodded slightly, temporarily putting aside the doubts in her heart.

The most important thing now is to find Doctor Xue as soon as possible. The carriage slowly drove into Liucheng. The city was prosperous and noisy, with crowds of people surging on the streets, and it was very lively.

Ye Yunzi lifted the curtains and looked at the scattered attics outside the window. The hanging red lanterns made her feel novel.

"Where is Doctor Xue now?" she asked.

"This one……"

Tao Qiming looked embarrassed: "Master's whereabouts are uncertain. He moves every ten days, so I don't know where he lives now."

"Liucheng is so big, how are we going to find it?"

Leng Xue also looked out the window.

Tao Qiming was filled with regret. Leng Xue was injured, and her wound had not yet healed, but she still had to follow them everywhere.

"Master loves drinking and gambling, maybe we can find him in these places." Tao Qiming suggested.

Ye Yunzi agreed immediately: "Okay, let's start from the taverns and gambling houses in Liucheng."

The three of them did not rest and immediately began to search. Shortly after they entered the city, a group of uninvited guests with frosty faces and long swords in hand quietly entered Liucheng.

Just two days ago, the news of the failed assassination attempt reached Lord Yin's ears. He slammed the table in anger, his face livid.

"You are just three powerless guys, and you can't get anything done? You are such incompetents!" His voice was filled with anger.

"Sir, please calm down!"

The secret guard knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Among the three people, there is a woman with outstanding martial arts skills. She is obviously a master who has undergone rigorous training."

"Huh, a master? With so many of you, you can't even deal with one?"

The old man's anger was evident in his words. He had originally sent out ten elite soldiers, but in the end, all of them were wiped out.

If this news leaks out, what will happen to his prestige?
