The news of Cheng Feng's death was something Chu Yizhao had expected. Although he felt guilty in his heart, protecting the entire Eastern Palace and himself, Cheng Feng's death was still worth it. This way, he would feel at ease.

But news of Su Leyao's death caused him to be deeply surprised. Although he had only used Su Leyao and did not have any feelings for him, this was an ending that he did not expect.

Zhan Cao said: "Anyway, that woman is of no use to us now, and since Your Highness has fulfilled your promise to let Su Family go, we do not owe her anything, so Your Highness does not need to be concerned about her life and death."

Chu Yizhao shook his head: "No, I don't understand, just how did she die."

Zhan Cao was startled: "What is Your Highness suspecting?"

Just as Chu Yizhao was about to speak, a young eunuch entered in a hurry and reported, "Your Highness, Your Highness, wait for your Imperial Study.

Zhan Cao said in shock: "I'm afraid his majesty wants to be responsible for Cheng Feng's affairs with His Highness!"

Chu Yizhao sighed: "They will come sooner or later, there's no need to panic."

Yes, there was no need to panic. The Crown’s Master had already told them that the emperor would definitely suspect Cheng Feng of his death, but the emperor had no proof. As long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, no one could do anything to him.

His Royal Father couldn't possibly convict him just because of these guesswork!

Chu Yizhao straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely be safe and sound."

"Then is Su Leyao's death still being investigated?" Zhan Cao asked.

"Of course." Chu Yizhao said, "Find out how she died, and don't let your guard down."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the Imperial Palace's Royal Hospital, Chu Yixuan was still unconscious. Emperor Chu Zhe came to visit once again, looking at his third son who was lying on the bed motionlessly with a face as white as paper, Chu Zhe's face was frighteningly gloomy.

The old eunuch by his side spoke softly: "Lord Royal Doctor has personally controlled the blade and treated the wound that His Highness Prince Qi has given him. His Highness will soon recover, so Your Majesty need not worry too much."

Chu Zhe frowned: "Lu Ming has been guarding the Sanlang in the Imperial Hospital all this time?"

The old eunuch replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I saw Lu Ming dozing in the neighboring room just now."

Chu Zhe's expression softened, "Alright, call Lu Ming over, we have something to ask him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Ming was quickly brought to Chu Zhe, and bowed to him: "Your Majesty."

Chu Zhe nodded his head: "It's been tough on you to stay by Sanlang's side for the past two days, Lu Ming."

"Thank you, your Majesty. This is your subordinate's duty, so I dare not say it's hard work."

"You have done a great service to Sanlang's protector, so capturing Cheng Feng is also your credit. Once everything is settled, we will definitely bestow you with rewards." Without waiting for Lu Ming's reply, Chu Zhe stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Now, we have something to ask you. Regarding the Xu’s Medical Center, does Sanlang know about it?"

"Xu’s Medical Center?" Lu Ming was startled.

"No one has ever mentioned Xu’s Medical Center to you before?" Chu Zhe asked.

"No!" Lu Ming was a bit at a loss. "Could it be, the wangfei is in the Xu’s Medical Center?"

"You all went to the city temple, did you all only see Cheng Feng?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, after His Highness learned that the wangfei had been kidnapped and that she was anxious to save her, he boarded the carriage as the other party had instructed. Your subordinate secretly followed behind him, not daring to reveal his whereabouts, thus maintaining a certain distance from Your Highness. "After the carriage brought the prince to the city temple, I had just hidden my whereabouts when I was ambushed by several people. By the time I managed to clear away the obstacles, the prince was already injured."

Chu Zhe frowned: "The Justice Division has been verified, the kidnapping letter is not Cheng Feng's handwriting."

Lu Ming was a little doubtful: "Then, your majesty means that Cheng Feng still has comrades in the west side of the city?"

Chu Zhe remained silent. The old eunuch by his side answered: "Justice Division received a report, saying that Cheng Feng had appeared in the Xu’s Medical Center before. The head judge of Justice Division had already sent people to investigate it, but the Xu’s Medical Center had already collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins. "

Lu Ming was startled, he looked at the old eunuch, then looked at Chu Zhe and nervously asked: "Could it be that the chief judge of Justice Division found the consort in the Xu’s Medical Center?"

Lu Ming did not dare to say the word "corpse", but his face had already become pale.

"Not really." Chu Zhe waved his hand, "The one who was discovered in the Xu’s Medical Center is Su Leyao."

Lu Ming was stunned!

Chu Zhe stared into Lu Ming's eyes: "When Su Leyao was in the Prince Qi's Palace, did she defend the road of women?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a long while, then reacted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, before Mrs. Su was released from her residence, she had not acted disloyally, and Prince Qi Palace and Eastern Palace did not interact much either, it is impossible for Mrs. Su to have anything to do with Imperial Guard Cheng Feng."

"Are you sure?" Chu Zhe frowned.

"Based on this subordinate's observations, although Mrs. Su has a haughty temperament, she has one mind and one heart towards Your Highness. This subordinate … I can't believe that the Mrs. Su will... "

Chu Zhe was quiet for a moment, then waved his hand: "Alright, I understand."

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Your Majesty, have the Justice Division found the whereabouts of the wangfei yet?"

Chu Zhe said: "Don't worry! It will come to light very soon. "

Lu Ming could not ask any further, so he cupped his hands and said: "Yes."

Leaving the Imperial Hospital, the Old Eunuch asked softly, puzzled, "The Justice Division clearly received two informants, why is it that His Majesty only requested Lu Ming to verify one of them?"

Chu Zhe said in a deep voice: "Among these two informants, one was reporting for Eastern Palace, while the other was pointing at Eastern Palace. Although it seems like it is watertight, but it is rather strange that it has appeared. We don't believe it, we only believe the evidence that the Justice Division has found! "

"But Justice Division … "Cheng Feng was sentenced to death, this is also …"

"Do you really think that Cheng Feng was beaten to death?" Chu Zhe scoffed.

The old eunuch was stunned. "Could it be …" "No?"

Chu Zhe sneered, "We naturally understand the methods of the Justice Division. Although they appeared to be extremely harsh torture, it was not fatal. Furthermore, Cheng Feng possesses a martial arts and is physically strong, so it is even more impossible for him to be tortured to death that easily. "

The old eunuch said in surprise, "Could it be..." "Could he be …"

Chu Zhe said with a straight face: "No need to make wild guesses, let's see what the results of the Seven Treasures Division investigation would be."

"Yes." The old eunuch lowered his head and could not help but ask: "Mou Qing said that when he saw the Masked Man cutting down Princess Qi, and then Mou Qing and his subordinates were buried under the medicine hall, did His Majesty prepare to hide this from the Prince Qi?"

Chu Zhe sighed, "Recently, the relationship between Sanlang and Princess Xu has grown a lot. He is also willing to risk his life for Princess Xu, which means that Princess Xu's position in his heart is no longer the same as before. With the current appearance of the Sanlang, if we were to tell him this grievous news, wouldn't it be even more of a blow to him? "

"But if Lu Ming is clear about this, maybe he can help out a little."

Chu Zhe waved his hand, "Let Seven Treasures Division check! It is often possible to make more accurate judgments without being influenced by any subjective impression. "

The old eunuch smiled. "Your Majesty is wise."

After Cheng Feng's death, the trial of Justice Division entered a dead end, and the entire case seemed to have been put on hold. Therefore, after two days, Ji City were still in a state of calm and tranquility, no one asked any more questions about this matter.

Qi Yu and Bi Su were still staying in the shabby little tavern. This kind of tavern would only have a few ordinary citizens staying over, so it was considered very safe.

With Bi Su taking care of him by her side, Feng Qingmo disappeared.

Qi Yu did not care too much. Originally, Feng Qingmo had nothing to do with her, and he did not have any obligation to stay by her side. Furthermore, she was no longer in danger, and Bi Su was by her side taking care of her.

What Qi Yu was concerned about now was the situation within the Ji City. She and Bi Su dressed up as men and snuck into the various teahouses and taverns to eavesdrop on other people's conversations about the Ji City.

The news that they heard afterwards was the discussion about Cheng Feng's death that put the entire situation into a deadlock. The people who were interested in discussing political affairs and current affairs were all inclined to believe that the Eastern Palace was the one who had taken action against the Prince Qi in order to clear the obstacles in their way.

After all, with Su Shangwu's family being exiled, it was easy for people to assume that it was the prelude to the Eastern Palace getting rid of the Prince Qi Palace's power. Therefore, after clearing out the forces in the Prince Qi Palace, the Eastern Palace naturally made its move towards the Prince Qi.

Qi Yu sneered, other than her, who knew if Chu Yixuan had a limp? Who knew that Chu Yixuan's skills were actually not something ordinary people could compare to? Who knew that Chu Yixuan was so scheming that even the crown prince might not be able to handle him?

The reason why the crown prince was able to sit safely in the East Palace was because he received the support of a large number of court officials. If there was a power like Chu Yizhao, Chu Yixuan would have succeeded even earlier.

Chu Yixuan had successfully tricked everyone, and she, the only one who knew the truth, probably didn't believe the truth.

Who allowed her to teleport onto the body of the Crown’s Master's daughter? In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Rouzhi should be considered a part of the Eastern Palace Clan's influence.

Bi Su snuck into the palace, and brought back a message for Qi Yu: Chu Yixuan is still lying on the bed of the imperial hospital, his injuries have not recovered.

"Really?" Qi Yu frowned in disbelief, "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Bi Su nodded. "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

Qi Yu sneered, this torture method was a little too much for him, in order to defeat the Eastern Palace, Chu Yixuan actually dared to use such a heavy attack on him, it was truly terrifying.

Bi Su said: "It's also weird, the Justice Division has stopped all operations and does not investigate the Eastern Palace."

Qi Yu frowned: "All stopped?"

"Yes." Bi Su nodded her head, "I went to take a look, the people from Justice Division have all remained in the Justice Division for the past two days, without any movements outside."

Qi Yu could not help but frown. She felt it was strange. Chu Yixuan had used a trick to lure Cheng Feng out, but failed to strike at the roots of Eastern Palace. Now, using Cheng Feng's death to exchange for the peace of Eastern Palace.

Could it be that Chu Yixuan didn't have any follow-up actions? Could he really lie down in the infirmary?

"Could it be that the Emperor still believes in the Eastern Palace?"

"This …" Bi Su shook her head, "I don't know either."

"The information Bi Su obtained is not accurate." Feng Qingmo's voice sounded outside the window.

Qi Yu and Bi Su were startled for a moment, they turned around and Feng Qingmo already appeared in the room.
