Saint Ruan shook his head and retreated behind Su Yingxue, pointing at her. “Finding her? That wasn’t my credit!”
He had merely assisted Su Yingxue by performing minor tasks. Opening the abdomen, removing the tumor, and stitching the wound were all accomplished solely by Su Yingxue.
At best, he had been a mere spectator.
However, from this sideline view, he had gained a lot of knowledge.
Long Shuli was still impressive!
Su Yingxue had endured six hours of surgery and was very fatigued. “I don’t want to dwell on this now. I just want to clear my name.”
She looked at Liang Jin, her eyes carrying a plea. “Lord Liang, when my father wakes up, could you reconsider the case?”
Liang Jin’s expression turned serious. “If the emperor alters the decree, I can thoroughly investigate this case.”
At that moment, everyone’s attention was fixed on Chu Yihan.
Whether the emperor’s decree would change now depended entirely on him.
Chu Yihan handed the Qingfeng sword to Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue felt its weight in her hand.
He tenderly ran his fingers through Su Yingxue’s soft hair. “I’ll make a trip to the palace. Wait for my return.”
Su Yingxue wanted to hold his hand. She didn’t want him to go. She feared for his safety.
Saint Ruan pulled her aside and sneered. “Don’t worry! Once he’s in the palace, only people there would fear him. They won’t be able to kill him! Do you think the army at his command is just for show?”
Despite knowing Chu Yihan for many years, Saint Ruan believed that if he had aspirations for the throne, Chu Mingyuan would have died long ago!
However, he couldn’t fathom Chu Yihan’s thought process. He could be an emperor but preferred to stay as a prince. However, from time to time, he would challenge the emperor.
It was truly baffling.
But despite Chu Yihan being young, no one had ever truly understood him.
As a 70-year-old man, he did not need to waste his energy.
Su Yingxue anxiously waited in the manor for a while.
Chu Yihan returned when the sun was about to rise. He threw an imperial edict to Liang Jin.
Liang Jin knelt to receive it. Upon reading the contents, his eyes gleamed. He immediately summoned his men. “Come, gather everyone from the Marquis’s Manor, and bring the proprietor of Red Brocade Lane as a witness!”
Liu Shulan and Su Yurou had spent a night locked in the courtyard. The next day, Liang Jin’s men escorted them out. They were both terrified.
Especially Su Yurou, who turned pale at the sight of the manor strewn with corpses.
Liu Shulan was terrified too, especially if Su Yingxue had indeed saved Su Dingheng.
But for someone guilty, whatever they feared would come to pass.
For instance, she feared facing Su Dingheng once he woke. Upon entering his room, he would open his eyes and call for Long Shuli.
Liu Shulan gritted her teeth upon hearing this.
Su Yingxue remained composed and even comforted Su Dingheng. “Don’t worry, Father. Mother will save you.”
Even after her passing, she left behind her medical knowledge, allowing her to save her father. Hence, her mother had not failed in responding to her father’s pleas for days to save him.
Liang Jin summoned all the witnesses and reopened the case in Su Dingheng’s room.
He declared loudly, “This case was filed by Lady Liu, accusing Su Yingxue of poisoning her father. Her intentions were punishable. But now, Su Yingxue has saved her father’s life, contradicting her initial intent. 1 believe there are many dubious points in this case..”
