Liu Yi was so focused that he did not even notice Ji Yan.

This surprised Ji Yan. He reached out to touch Liu Yi and asked with a puzzled expression, “Why do you look like you’ve lost your soul? Look at how focused you are, what’s there to see? Tell me, I want to see it too.”

Liu Yi turned to look at Ji Chen with a serious expression. “What do you want to

Ji Yan took a deep breath and looked at Liu Yi in confusion. “What’s going on with you? Your good brother is concerned about you, but what’s with your attitude? You’re going too far!”

Seeing that Liu Yi ignored him and turned to leave, Ji Yan scratched his head and quietly caught up with Liu Yi.

Gu Qingxue and the rest treated their injuries first, then headed toward Jing City with Rong Zhan.

On the way, Gu Qingxue listened to Rong Zhan tell her the results of his investigation.

Rong Zhan gently used the lid of the teacup to brush away the tea leaves floating on the tea. After taking a sip, he said, “I’m almost certain that the one who killed Beauty Yin back then is the current Noble Consort Xian.”

“Noble Consort Xian?” It was Gu Qingxue’s first time here, so she did not know much about the concubines in the palace. After frowning in confusion, she waited for them to continue.

“Speaking of Noble Consort Xian, she has always been the most favored consort in the palace. Although she is over forty years old, her appearance is more beautiful than snow, like a twenty-eight-year-old girl. However, back then, she had entered the palace with Beauty Yin. Beauty Yin was more beautiful than her, so she had never been as favored as Beauty Yin. In addition, when the two of them were pregnant at the same time. When Beauty Yin’s child was gone and she passed away, His Majesty also placed all his hopes on Noble Consort Xian. It’s a pity that Noble Consort Xian’s stomach is not as good as expected. After being busy for half a day, she only gave birth to a little princess.” Judge Wu quickly explained what had happened that year.

To concubines, it was naturally a good thing to be pregnant. If it just so happened to be a son, then in the future, the mother would be able to rise because of the son, and her status would be far nobler than those concubines who had never given birth.

“Also, there’s one more thing. Noble Consort Xian was Prince Heng’s younger sister. After she entered the palace, she helped Prince Heng a lot. In addition, you and Prince Heng already have a connection, so they would use all means to deal with you.” Rong Zhan added.

Gu Qingxue leaned against the soft cushion behind her and said with a fake smile, “If that’s the case, they really think highly of me.”

“Your medical skills are so amazing, and you’re the emperor’s favorite, but you can’t be used by them. They must get rid of you as soon as possible.” Judge Wu was worried. “I’m worried that after they know that the two assassinations have failed, they will be even more ruthless the next time. Qingxue, you’re lucky this time, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be lucky every time.”

“You’re right. Now that I have a target, it’ll be easier for me to make my next move. I think we can use a trick to lure him in,” Gu Qingxue said.

“It would be great if there was a witness. After Beauty Yin’s accident, her personal maid returned to her hometown. Later, it was said that she went crazy and disappeared overnight. Qingxue, do you think you should go to the maid’s hometown to see what’s going on? Perhaps you can find some clues?” Judge Wu asked with concern.

Gu Qingxue said worriedly, “It’s already been so long. Unless we find that maid, it’ll be very difficult to find any evidence..”
