Chapter 2227: Master Mei

harmaceuticals. This small request was just a matter of saying a word, and the other party had no reason to refuse him.But the result disappointed him. An Yimo said faintly, "I'm sorry, I only brought..."You... you..."

Dugu Hong was furious, her eyes blazing. This was the second time she had been so enraged since being humiliated by Guan Qirui last time.

But now the guards around me have all been beaten to a pulp, like dogs. Without my guards, I no longer have the guts to fight back.

"Kid, you wait for me. The Laiyang Prince's Mansion will not let you get away with this."

Dugu Hong, while speaking, retreated step by step. When she finished her words, she had already fled with her men in a disheveled state, leaving behind only bursts of laughter.

"Brother, it seems the Gu Medical Gate clinic is going to be in trouble this time. The person involved is Laiyang County Princess..."

"What are you afraid of This has happened so many times, who could possibly harm Doctor Ye..."

"What's all the fuss about Just wait and see the show..."

People around were buzzing with conversation, many sympathizing with the Gu Yi Men clinic, after all, this wasn't just any ordinary person who had come, but Lady Laiyang herself.

Ye Bufan turned and walked back, things had taken an unexpected turn.

I had never thought that Qi Rui would marry into the Laiyang Royal Manor, nor had I imagined that he would use such a trick to bring trouble to himself and lead the Laiyang County Princess to his medical hall.

But soldiers come, we meet them; water comes, we dam it. There's nothing to fear. As long as that old monster from the royal family doesn't make a move, he doesn't even look down on the others.

At worst, we can leave the imperial city with everyone and come back to snatch her on her wedding day.

Back at Wangfu Mountain, Yan Feng returned with his men to report.

He recounted the entire affair from beginning to end, finally stating, "Your Highness, that's how it all happened. That woman only resembles Lady Situ in appearance, her features are entirely different."

"Oh!"

Duguyan nodded, Yan Feng and Linsisi both recognized him correctly, so there wouldn't be a mistake.

Since the Gu Yi Men clinic and Lady Situ have no relationship, he lost interest.

Seeing his attitude, Cheng Fang became a little anxious. If Shan Wang just gave up on this, there would be no chance for him to turn things around.

"My lord, although that woman is not the wife of Duke Si Tu, I feel that there is something strange about this matter."

That kid surnamed Ye is really strange. With such high cultivation and excellent medical skills, why did he end up in the imperial city of our Great Shun Empire

If I'm not mistaken, that fellow definitely has ulterior motives. It's very likely he was the one who broke into the palace that night.

Dugu Yuan pondered for a moment, he was now also extremely interested in the incident of raiding Yechuan's Mount Shang Residence.

Able to stealthily infiltrate the imperial palace and ultimately escape with his life from the hands of the ancestor, this person is definitely no ordinary individual.

It's still unclear what their motives are, but regardless, they can't possibly have any good intentions toward us.

Thinking about this, he asked: "Commander Yan, how's that investigation going Have you made any progress"

"That...not yet!"

Yansheng said, "My subordinate has sent people to search the entire imperial city of the Great Shun Empire, but they have not found anyone who was hit by Patriarch Cui's Heart Palm."

They have no leads at the moment, the only clue they have is that the man was struck by Dugu Xiu's Heart-Piercing Palm.

Logically, there should be severely injured people awaiting treatment, but we haven't found any such individuals.

Duguyan thought for a moment: "Have you checked the ancient medical hall When did they come to the Imperial City"

Yan Feng said, "I've investigated. They arrived in our Dàshùn Empire's capital city a few days ago, which was the same day an assassin appeared at the palace."

Guan Chengfang naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and immediately stepped forward to say: "Your Highness, did you hear that How could such a coincidence happen, assassins appeared as soon as they arrived here."

And that boy's medical skills are truly amazing, he can even make a broken arm regenerate.

If anyone in this world could heal the wounds left by Patriarch Cui Xinzhang of the Ancestral Clan, it would probably be him.

As a powerful figure, Duguo Yuan naturally understood Guan Chengfang's intentions. He didn't want to be used as a pawn by anyone.

To say that the coincidence in time point doesn't count for much is simply not true. The Imperial City of the Dàshùn Empire sees countless people coming and going every day, we can't just suspect someone because of this.

It was the second part of Cheng Fang's sentence that caught his attention. With Ye Bufan's medical skills, there was indeed a possibility that he could cure the Heart-Devouring Palm.

Could he really be the one who sneaked into the palace at night, and then healed his own wounds

"Wait for me here and don't leak the information."

After Dugu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room, heading towards the direction of the inner palace.

This matter is of great importance and requires consultation with the elders.

He attached so much importance to it not because of Lin Sisi's face, but out of careful consideration.

If the other party were an ordinary person, it would be simple to apprehend them and interrogate them. But if they are truly someone who sneaks into the palace at night, even our ancestor wouldn't be able to hold them back, and our own people sent out would be for nothing.

Now that I think about it, things just now were a little rash. If Ye Bufan really was the assassin, the two Void Core Stage experts sent out wouldn't have been enough to hold him back at all, let alone capture him.

That is why he had to consult with his ancestor and come up with a foolproof plan. Since they were going to make a move, they couldn't give the other party a second chance to escape.

Deep within the palace, there was a secluded courtyard. It was forbidden ground to the entire court, and no one else was allowed to enter, not even the current emperor.

Dugu Yuan walked into the courtyard and soon appeared in a quiet room. An old man with white beard and hair was sitting opposite him, it was the royal ancestor Dugu Xiu.

"Yuan'er, is there something you need"

Dugu Xiu slowly opened his eyes as he spoke.

"The grandson has something important to ask of his ancestor..."

Dugu Yuan recounted everything that had happened, from beginning to end, including his own suspicions.

"At last, he said, "Grandfather, this matter is beyond my ability to decide. Please give your orders."

Dugu Xiu pondered for a moment: "If it was truly that person from that night, besides me, no one else could possibly have kept him."

"Grandson also thinks this way, so please, Ancestor, make the decision."

"Well then, that man is said to be a skilled physician, isn't he Send someone to invite him into the palace to treat me."

"When the time comes, I'll know if it's true or not."

"Grandfather, your plan is brilliant! Your grandson will go and do it right away."

Du Gu Yuan wasn't being flattering; Du Gu Xiu's method was indeed good. If Ye Bufan was the assassin that night, this Imperial Palace would be the best place to capture him. He wouldn't get away a second time.

If the other party isn't, then have the ancestor take a look at their health, see what's going on. Everything is calm and won't cause too much of a stir.

Dugu Xiu said, "It's not appropriate for your people to go. Let Mei Gonggong go instead."

Having said that, he beckoned to the side. A plump old eunuch emerged abruptly from the darkness.

Dugu Yuan knew this man. He was Mei Yongcheng, the Empress Dowager's personal eunuch, who had served by her side for an unknown number of years. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Void Opening realm.

Although holding no official position within the royal court, his high status meant that no one dared to defy him.

Du Guxiu sent him out, which shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.

"Grandfather, grandson thanks you!"

Dugu Yufeng paid his respects and then left the palace with Mei Yongcheng.

Guan Chengfang waited anxiously inside the former hall, his heart pounding like a drum.

What he cares about now isn't Ye Bufan's identity at all, whether or not the other person is an assassin who snuck into the palace at night.

As long as Wang, who relies on the mountain, takes action, at least his mansion will be safe. After all, it's a house left by his ancestor, the steward, and he can't just lose it under his own watch.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the figure of King By-the-Mountain finally appeared at the door.è Lì immediately choked back tears and rushed over, pulling her into her arms.Uncle Liu stood beside, just smiling slyly and didn't stop it.There is simply no such thing as snatching people here, not...
