Outside the afternoon office, people gathered around to watch the excitement, including some official spies.

Imperial Physician Mu held the blood book high in his hand and knelt down in the direction of the Emperor. He said painfully: "Please, Your Majesty, bring justice to the Ji Mu family."

Many people who were watching whispered among themselves: "There were rumors yesterday that Lord Ji and Lord Mu were poisoned by the third prince. I still don't believe it."

"Now there's even a blood letter, and it's probably true."

"Yes, yes, I really didn't expect that a sick and weak prince would do such a thing. What do you think the third prince's purpose is for doing this?"

"Needless to say, of course it's for that position."

"But he won't live to be thirty, so it's useless to have that position?"

"This is wrong. Although he will not live to be thirty, he can marry a concubine and have a son before he is thirty, and then the son will inherit his father's inheritance."

With this said, the third prince's motives became clear.

"Shh, keep your voice down, you can't say this, you will be beheaded."

After being reminded by this person, the voices of several people became much softer.

In the past, those who sounded the Dengwen drum were guilty before they said anything. It’s different now. In order to show that he loves the people as his own children, the Holy Spirit specifically revoked the rule that those who sound the drum should first hit the twenty big boards.

"Don't stop me. I want to kill my relatives in a righteous way. Ah Cheng doesn't know how to write a bloody letter."

"Madam, you must not go. Do you have any evidence to prove that the bloody letter was not written by the young master?"

"The young master is dead. Whether he writes it or not is not up to me."

Mu Yun heard that Imperial Physician Mu was beating the Dengwen drum outside the Wu Yamen and ran over. She wanted to avenge Mu Cheng and did not bother to step forward to stop him. As a result, he was held tightly by the maid.

Little did she know that there were two people from Ji Mansion staring at her.

Mu Yun looked at the two Ji brothers fiercely, with murderous intent on her face.

She had to admit that the maid was right. She could not step forward to reveal whether the blood letter was fake because it was all just her guess. Anyone who sounds the drum will be personally interrogated by the Holy Emperor. Once she cannot produce evidence, death awaits her.

Now they can only watch as the Ji family makes excuses for Mucheng's death.

Emperor Yu learned that Imperial Physician Mu had beaten the Dengwen drum, and the black pills in his hand fell directly to the ground. He said with great anger: "This is really outrageous, Xiao Dezi, go and bring the person in personally."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll leave right away." Mr. De led the people out in a hurry.

When they were brought to the royal study, Emperor Yu became very angry. It is nothing more than accusing Imperial Physician Mu of beating the Dengwen drum and not putting the royal family's face in his eyes.

Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng sneered inwardly. You dare to confuse right and wrong, and I still have to take care of your royal face. I really thought that my Ji family didn’t have military power and was easy to bully.

Now, all the evidence points to the third prince, but it remains to be seen how Emperor Yu will deal with it.

The prince and queen also came, both to put pressure on Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu looked at Ji Mu's family with a cold expression, and asked, knowingly: "Why are you beating the drum?"

Imperial Physician Mu presented the blood book, and Emperor Yu motioned to Eunuch De to come forward and get it. After reading it, his expression showed a coldness.

"Is this blood book really written by Mu Cheng?" "It's absolutely true!" Dr. Mu kowtowed with sorrow. What made him even more sad was that Mu Cheng actually killed his biological father.

He also found out that Aunt Xu was from the Qin family, and marrying into the Mu family was inherently conspiratorial.

Therefore, when Ji Yushu found him, he agreed to write a blood letter without any hesitation. He taught Mu Cheng personally, so he knew his handwriting very clearly.

The content of the blood book was that the third prince bribed Mu Cheng to deal with Lord Ji. After Mu Cheng refused, the third prince wanted to get rid of him too. The medicine used to poison Mr. Ji came from the West and could not be purchased by ordinary people.

Emperor Yu was so angry that he probably believed what was written in blood. Because the medicinal powder that Eunuch De found from Yuehua Palace this morning was also from the West.

Everyone thought that Emperor Yu would summon the third prince, but they heard him directly give an order in a cold voice: "The third prince will be temporarily imprisoned in the clan mansion until he is released."

Such a straightforward conviction surprised the Ji Mu family.

The queen and the prince looked at each other secretly, wondering whether Emperor Yu's move was a tactic to delay the attack, or whether he really wanted to wait for his defeat.

Ji Yushu, however, felt that it would be great if he could imprison the third prince in the clan's mansion. From now on, no matter what he does, there will be countless pairs of eyes looking at him. The feeling of being exposed to the sun was unpleasant to him.

When the imperial edict was delivered to Yuehua Palace, the third prince was drinking medicine. The person who came to convey the decree was Eunuch De. He also said: "Your Majesty, Third Highness, Your Majesty asked the old slave to come and deliver a message. Your Majesty said that the only way is to stay safe and keep oneself."

Hearing this, the third prince's face turned horribly pale. Little did he know that Emperor Yu believed the contents of the blood letter.

Does he know that warning will only push himself into the abyss.

After Eunuch De left, the third prince lost his temper. The persona he had maintained for years collapsed.

"The evil star must be the work of that evil star. If not, why would the Ji family insist on biting this prince? The Ji family has no evidence to prove that this prince did this. Why should he?"

He had already heard that Eunuch De had found evidence from Yuehua Palace. Even though the evidence was in front of him, Emperor Yu did not believe it. Instead, he sharply accused the prince before he could be happy. In the blink of an eye, Imperial Physician Mu took out the blood book and beat the drum angrily.

It is said that it was written by Mu Cheng himself.

What a joke, no one knows how Mu Cheng died better than the Ji Mu family. This was a lie in front of him.

However, even if he knew the blood letter was fake, he couldn't explain it. Because what is written in the blood book is true. If he continues to quibble, the Ji family's next step may be to arrest the Westerner who sells medicine.

This shocked him extremely. Mu Cheng had no idea that the medicine had been changed, and even if he knew, there would be no reason to cast doubt on him. It was as if someone had known for a long time that he was going to attack the Ji family.

He can no longer deceive himself. The Ji family really has a master, even a master who is more powerful than the national master. I can always predict his next move.

So, does he still have a chance of winning?

"Someone, go and urge the Imperial Master to find a way to get rid of the evil star of the Ji family as soon as possible. Also, ask Su Yuyue to change her plan and approach Lu Qingyan directly."

The previous plan was to let Su Yuyue get close to Ji Yushu, but now, he did not dare to provoke the Ji family again. The Ji family was so evil, he was still afraid after all.

On the second day after the imperial edict was issued, Bei Hengyuan moved into the Zongren Mansion and lived next door to the second prince.

On the day he came in, the second prince had a dog's tail grass in his mouth. Looking at him coldly. He tentatively said: "Haha, things are really changing. Don't think that no one will see through your little tricks."

Hearing this, Bei Hengyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he ignored him.

Thinking of the Jiang family's death, the second prince's face turned stern and he suddenly attacked Bei Hengyuan.
