The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1607 -1600 Li Yunshu Panicked (Red Envelope at the End of the Text)

It wasn’t just the deaths of the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess that were at stake; the Duke of Li’s house also had military power and was implicated in the military secrets of the Great Wei Dynasty. He really didn’t dare to speak recklessly.

“Lord Xie, if you won’t speak, do you not even care about the bloodline of the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty? Or are you, like the Duke of Li’s house, full of wild ambition?” Chu Yihan picked up his teacup, gently stirring the tea leaves inside with the lid.

Despite discussing such a serious topic, he appeared as leisurely as if he was savoring his tea.

Lord Xie immediately felt waves of pressure in his heart, “When have I ever disregarded the bloodline of the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty! But you two…”

“I am also of the bloodline of the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty.” Su Yingxue spoke in a solemn voice, “Today, I am not speaking to you as the Empress of the Great Cheng Dynasty, but in the capacity of Princess Zhao Hua, asking you to reveal the truth. As for my husband, he is still the son-in-law to the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty, isn’t he?”

Su Yingxue tugged at her ‘son-in-law’ and raised her eyebrows.

Chu Yihan restrained the cold aura surrounding him and nodded to her with a smile, “Yes, Your Highness, my Princess.”

Whatever his little wife says goes; he might stoop to be her son-in-law, and that wasn’t impossible for him.

The sight of Chu Yihan submitting so meekly before Su Yingxue was mildly shocking to Xie Qingyi, who never dared to imagine an emperor could be so obediently compliant to a woman’s words.

After Su Yingxue finished speaking, the imperial authority permeating from Chu Yihan seemed less weighty, and their breathing became much smoother.

Xie Qingyi whispered a few words to Lord Xie’s ear. After some hesitant struggling, he ultimately compromised, “Alright, I… indeed have gathered some evidence of guilt against the Duke of Li, correspondences between him and Prince Zhao that are of importance have been burned, but there are still several letters of their previous communications in the hands of Princess Zhao, which Haoling found on his person during the search.”

When Lord Xie spoke, his gaze was filled with affection as he looked at his daughter.

Xie Qingyi’s eyes reddened as she raised her hand to press against them, firmly locking away the tears.

Xue Haoling was a meticulous man; when he was by her side, he was always gentle and caring. The battle was chaotic at the time, everyone was after Prince Zhao, but only he was diligently searching for the evidence.

She thought that Xue Haoling’s death was probably intricately linked to the evidence he had taken.

Lord Xie handed the letters to Su Yingxue, who passed them to Chu Yihan’s hand. Chu Yihan scanned them with a cool eye, “The contents of the letters, with the Duke of Li reassuring Prince Zhao and discussing the transfer of military power, although somewhat contrived, do not explicitly express incitement to rebel. He has chosen his words carefully; presented to Qin Muyan, he could argue his case.”

Lord Xie sighed softly, “This is exactly why I have been unsure how to report to the emperor.”

“I’ll give you an opening. If Lord Xie has the courage, you can delve into it,” Chu Yihan returned the letters to Lord Xie.

Lord Xie sought advice humbly, “May I ask from where Lord Son-in-law suggests we start?”

“From the Duke of Li’s troops.”

Chu Yihan stood beside Su Yingxue and spoke in a low voice: “Because of significant contributions in eradicating Prince Zhao, the Duke of Li took over Zhao’s soldiers, but these troops won’t acknowledge a new master so quickly, there are bound to be hard-boned dissenters within the ranks. Start from them to investigate the connections between Prince Zhao and the Duke of Li;

Secondly, send people to penetrate the Li family. I’ve heard that the eldest son of the Li family also died in the war, but Li Bo is incompetent. The Duke of Li has secretly raised a young illegitimate son behind the scenes. Sooner or later, Li Bo will be discarded, and this young illegitimate son is the Duke of Li’s soft spot.”

“An illegitimate son?” Lord Xie’s eyes widened, “This old minister has never heard of such a thing.”

“There is. Lord Xie, please look into it. Leave the rest to us.”
