Gu tidied up the bed and saw that Han Yunxi was enjoying her meal. He did not question her further and just sat by the side to watch her eat.
In the cold darkness, a man dressed in red with a devilish face appeared. He looked like a demon, noble and mysterious. His long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed as he admired the prey in front of him.
The more he looked, the more he liked her and the more satisfied he was. His smile grew wider and wider. Clearly, Han Yunxi was the one who was full, but he was the one who was satisfied.
Han Yunxi was full. She turned back and could not help but roll her eyes. Did she look that good when she was eating? This was not the first time Gu had been mesmerized by her.
"I'm full. You can leave." She was very heartless as she drank the water.
No matter how heartless she was, Gu was never angry. He muttered to himself, "Poison Girl, if you like someone, do you feel full when you look at her?"
Pfft!
Han Yunxi immediately spat. What kind of lousy analogy was that? Did he think that she was a man-eating fox demon?
"If you don't leave now, the prison guards will come to patrol." She kindly reminded him.
Gu Qishao reined in his thoughts and said seriously, "You still haven't answered my question."
Han Yunxi did not use the saying 'one has to be blinded by gifts'. She asked self-righteously, "You haven't answered my question either. Why are you asking so many questions? How do you know so much about the Tang Sect? Why? Is this very important to you? "
The last time in the Han family courtyard, Gu had revealed a lot of information in a moment of impulse. Han Yunxi remembered all of it.
Long Fei Ye had said that he had misunderstood. Could it be that this guy was looking for Long Fei Ye's secret?
Han Yunxi had a feeling that there was a big secret here. Of course, even if she was in prison, she would not betray Long Fei Ye. This was a matter of her integrity.
Gu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He leaned over and smiled meaningfully. "Poison Girl, if you follow me in the future, I'll tell you everything. How about that?"
"With you?" Han Yunxi really didn't understand what this word meant.
"Be my woman," Gu blurted out.
Han Yunxi was stunned for a moment before she chuckled. "This joke isn't funny at all."
Gu wanted to say more, but Han Yunxi mimicked him and smiled innocently. "If you don't leave now, I'll call for help."
She was always like this when they were talking about the most important things!
Gu took a deep breath, but he still left immediately. It was not that he was easily frightened, but Han Yunxi really knew how to scream. He had personally experienced it several times.
After leaving the cell, Gu did not leave. He landed on the roof and lay down with his arms behind his head. He thought that it was not a good idea to continue asking. He had to think of a way to test this woman.
But that would have to wait until she got out of the prison. Luo Zuishan had arrived at the capital tonight, so he should be making his move tomorrow morning!
Who knew, just as he was thinking this, the sound of drumming could be heard from the Supreme Court's entrance not far away.
Someone had come to the justice courts to sound their grievances? This was a rare occurrence, so it had to be a major case.
"Is there a need to be in such a rush in the middle of the night?" Gu muttered doubtfully to himself. He plugged his ears and went to sleep on the roof of the prison.
He never expected the person to sound the drums to be none other than the medical academy director he'd found, sixth-rank Grandmaster Doctor Luo Zuishan!
They were both in their sixties, but unlike Director Xi's tall and domineering figure, Luo Zuishan was thin and small with a hunched back. He had a white goatee, rat eyes, and an aquiline nose. At a glance, one could tell he was a meticulous and troublesome old man.
Despite his small stature, he had far more energy than a young man. He rushed to Tianning's capital city day and night without rest, his rigid and serious face showing no signs of fatigue.
He didn't even stop to rest, but dragged a letter of complaint to the justice courts to beat the drums. Those who didn't know better might think he was being treated unjustly.
In truth, he was here to cry out their grievances on behalf of Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue. His letter of complaint was against none other than Director Xi, Xi Yubo!
The sound of drums broke through the quiet night of Tianning's capital city and woke up various figures.
"This person is a little interesting!"
Long Fei Ye rubbed his chin thoughtfully. It was rare for him to give someone such an evaluation. He'd already waited for four days, but never expected Luo Zuishan to show up.
Actually, Luo Zuishan didn't even need to be invited. With his relationship with Xi Yubo, he'd definitely show himself as long as he knew of this matter.
Gu Beiyue had been under Long Fei Ye's surveillance this entire time, but hadn't made any moves.
Luo Zuishan had lived in a border city of Northern Li for a long time and had a stubborn temperament. His movements were also very secretive, but he'd managed to get here in four short days. Who told him about this?
This person not only had to be familiar with the crown prince's misdiagnosis, but also the medical academy's directors. Most people wouldn't be able to contact Luo Zuishan in such a short time even if they knew about the bad blood between him and Xi Yubo.
After all, even Long Fei Ye didn't have such confidence.
"It has to be Director Luo's acquaintance. I'll ask Wang Gong about it."
Tang Li was very proactive. It had to be said that his understanding of Han Yunxi had deepened over the past four days when she hadn't exposed Mama Su. Long Fei Ye's eyes couldn't be wrong. Even if her origins were a little unclear, she was generally reliable!
Long Fei Ye nodded, and Tang Li happily left. In his opinion, the crisis had basically been resolved with Luo Zuishan's arrival, but who knew that things were far from as simple as he'd imagined.
The Supreme Court accepted Luo Zuishan's complaint that very night, but they didn't immediately start the trial. Luo Zuishan had to wait for news.
Since ancient times, dealing with the government required procedures, and there was room for manipulation in the procedures. There was a university that asked about it.
Luo Zuishan went to the Supreme Court the next day, but unfortunately, he was still dismissed with a "case has been accepted and is going through the process".
In the palace, Director Xi was seizing the time to treat the crown prince, Long Tianmo.
Although Director Xi had a card up his sleeve, if he could cure the crown prince and then face Luo Zuishan, it would save him a lot of trouble. He wasn't afraid of the medical academy's elders' investigation. On the contrary, he was afraid of Luo Zuishan. Luo Zuishan was the best at nitpicking and pestering. If there was even the slightest dispute over the details, there would be no possibility of the case ending.
Thus, he had to wake up the crown prince before the trial began and destroy all evidence. Then there wouldn't even be an egg left, and Luo Zuishan wouldn't be able to nitpick.
"It's not easy to find Luo Zuishan, is it? Who has the skills?"
Emperor Tianhui was surprised as well. It had taken him a lot of effort to find Xi Yubo, but in just a few short days, someone had managed to find Luo Zuishan. At the very least, this person had some connections with the medical academy.
Emperor Tianhui's first suspect was Long Feiye, followed by the Han Clan, who had connections with the medical academy and knew of the crown prince's misdiagnosis.
Han Congan used to be a director of the medical academy, so the Han Clan naturally had connections to the medical academy. But Han Congan had already been removed from the list, so the possibility wasn't high. As for Long Fei Ye, although he'd never heard of him having connections with the medical academy, Emperor Tianhui felt that he was the only one with such skills in the capital.
This fellow had abandoned the rook to save the king. Could it be …
On the sixth day, Emperor Tianhui came to his senses, but it was already too late.
After Luo Zuishan was dismissed by a minor official from the justice courts a second time, his irritable temper flared up. He actually took out the command token from the medical academy and questioned Xi Yubo's diagnosis in the name of the Council of Elders. No matter whether the patient was the Son of Heaven or the crown prince, he demanded that Xi Yubo bring along the patient and all relevant information and personnel to the medical academy for a public consultation!
Xi Yubo was so stunned by the news that it took him a while to recover.
"A command token from the Council of Elders? How is that possible? "
He couldn't believe it. Luo Zuishan's appearance in such a short time was already surprising enough, but he'd even brought a command token with him!
The command token was the symbol of the Council of Elders. How did Luo Zuishan get his hands on it? Why would the Council of Elders believe his one-sided words and give him the command token so easily?!
After all, the Council of Elders had only given the command token to two directors in the history of the medical academy. One was Third Elder, who'd already joined the Council of Elders, while the other was Gu Beiyue's grandfather.
Leaving aside how Luo Zuishan had gained the Council of Elders' trust, he'd been living in seclusion in a border city of Northern Li. Four days was already very fast for him to reach Tianning's capital city, so how did he get the command token from the medical academy?
If possible, Xi Yubo would definitely suspect that Luo Zuishan's command token was fake. But Luo Zuishan didn't have the guts to do so!
No matter how Xi Yubo thought about it, he couldn't help but feel that there was something fishy going on.
In the midst of his shock, Emperor Tianhui came to find him. He'd always respected Xi Yubo, but this was the first time he'd questioned him so rudely. "What's up with the Council of Elders' command token? Did the Council of Elders question your diagnosis? "
"Your Majesty, there's something fishy about this matter. The person who invited Luo Zuishan here can't be simple," Xi Yubo was still relatively calm.
"Zhen only wants you to treat the crown prince immediately and close the case!" Emperor Tianhui said angrily.
Xi Yubo could only shake his head. "Your Majesty, we agreed on 10 days."
Emperor Tianhui's eyes flashed with shrewd light before he said Coldly, "Then Zhen will protect you for another four days."
But in the end, Xi Yubo tactfully refused. "Your Majesty, you know what the Council of Elders' command token is."
According to Tianning's laws, Luo Zuishan couldn't do anything to Xi Yubo, but the rules of the medical academy meant that Xi Yubo had no choice but to comply.
Even a sixth-rank Primogenitor Doctor like him didn't dare to disobey or neglect an Council of Elders' command token.
Now that Luo Zuishan had brought out the command token, Xi Yubo had no choice but to comply despite his unwillingness. He brought the patient, all relevant information, and personnel with him to the medical academy.
Otherwise, he'd never be able to survive in Cloud Realm Continent's medical community again!
Emperor Tianhui finally revealed a sinister expression. "Xi Yubo, do you think you can take away the crown prince and Zhen's two most wanted criminals?"
Xi Yubo knew that Emperor Tianhui wouldn't agree, but things had already developed to this point. He had no choice but to brace himself and keep going. Moreover, he was very confident in his own medical skills.
"Your Majesty, this one once promised that only I could treat the crown prince's illness. Even the Council of Elders wouldn't dare to question me. Now they're only asking for a consultation, so why … do we have to throw ourselves into confusion?"
Emperor Tianhui Coldly looked at him without a word.
Xi Yubo added, "If Your Majesty doesn't allow this one to take away His Highness Crown Prince, then this one can only use the patient's family as an excuse to refuse the consultation. But once I refuse, this one's diagnosis will be deemed invalid by the medical community as well."
If Xi Yubo's diagnosis was invalid, then Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue's crimes would be impossible to convict!
Emperor Tianhui finally realized that he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
