Chapter 967: Dust Settles

your noble status."An Xuetang smiled, “Mother, you’ve changed quite a bit these days.”Liu blinked, "What do you mean, A Tang"An Xuetang didn't want to discuss this with her. At this moment, she looke...With the Emperor's order, officials from Dali Temple arrived at the scene of the crime very quickly.

Because there was no one in the house, no one dared to move Dr. Ye and Mrs. Ye's bodies.

Even the corpse on the ground was left untouched.

Because the crime scene was protected fairly well, the Dali Temple officials carefully inspected the site after which they questioned the household servants about the events of last night in detail.

The final conclusion is that Ye Fu's cousin wanted to steal a jade pendant from Ye Fu. She bribed the maidservants in the main courtyard beforehand, making them all leave the main courtyard at night.

Then she used her powers on Dr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, causing them to fall into a deep unconsciousness.

After she entered the room and found the jade pendant, perhaps she accidentally tripped and fell, hitting her head on the table. Not only did she knock over the oil lamp on the table, but she also fainted.

The oil lamp ignited her clothes, and then it burned the table in the room. Because there were several oil lamps in the room, the fire spread very quickly after it started.

The people in the courtyard had long since been dismissed by Mrs. Ye's niece, so they couldn't discover it in time. When the fire reached the roof, someone finally reacted, but it was too late.

After the matter was cleared up, Dali Temple Minister immediately reported it to the emperor. The emperor, upon learning that this incident was caused by a niece of Madam Ye's family, flew into a rage.

The emperor was never a good person to begin with. He immediately ordered the execution of all nine generations of Ye Taiyi's wife's family, sparing no one. He wanted those people to be buried with Ye Taiyi.

It was his lifelong friend who had passed away, and upon the emperor's decree, he became utterly distraught.

He stayed with Concubine Hua all day. He said he was unwell and asked Concubine Hua to give him Tang Bai's tonic.

After the little flower had given him the medicine, she casually brought up Ye Er in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I know it's hard for you to accept the death of Imperial Physician Ye. But death is inevitable. You must take care of your health and not grieve yourself."

Huāduǒ'er has always been quiet. The emperor was comforted today to hear her speak up and offer consolation.

He reached out and pulled the flower close, burying his head in her neck with a touch of dependence:

"Concubine, everyone says that I am heartless, but only I know, I am not heartless. It's just that there are very few people worthy of my feelings. My sons and daughters, though they fawn over me every day, it is only to get my attention and more rewards. They have never truly cared for me."

"Ke Ye Qing is different. He has been by my side for many years, and only he understands me best. No matter what I want or what I want to do, he understands."

"Now he is gone like this, I feel so saddened."

An unprecedented feeling of pain.

The flower blinked subtly in the corner of her eye, unseen by him. She hadn't expected the emperor to feel so deeply for the imperial physician. But this was fortunate.

Perhaps she was thinking of something, a mischievous glint flashed in Huāduǒ's eyes. She reached out and gently stroked the emperor's long hair, her voice softening deliberately:

"Your Majesty, if Imperial Physician Ye knew of Your Majesty's feelings for him, he would surely be delighted."

The emperor gave a wry smile. "What use is that, they're gone."

Hua Duo'er fell silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, Dr. Ye is gone. Have you considered how to arrange for his son"

"! "

The emperor's body stiffened, and he immediately sat up straight. He stared intently at the flower, "Hua Niang, you... what did you say"ader gets truly angry, without the protection of the Princess, they would have almost no chance of escaping unharmed.So, it's still… letting the clouds swirl around and around.After Yun Si tied the fo...
