The other people had seen enough of the spectacle, and naturally didn’t want to linger in such a squalid place any longer, so they left, whispering among themselves.
Tian Yuan lightly patted Cai Jing’s shoulder and then turned away with cold eyes and left.
Once everyone had retreated, Doctor Lin administered a few acupuncture treatments to Cai Yanyan, then sighed, "Miss Cai’s uterus is injured; she may find it difficult to conceive in the future."
Upon hearing these words, Cai Jing couldn’t help but clench his fists, his expression tense.
Difficult to conceive?
In the future, no man is likely to want her; who cares whether she can become pregnant?
Moreover, that’s not the main issue.
The main issue is whether someone has tampered with father and Yanyan.
He’s sure this is a setup against them.
Who could be so malicious to use such vile and dirty means to frame the Cai Family?
If they have the courage, come directly, what kind of skill is it to use loathsome tricks?
Thinking thus, Cai Jing couldn’t help but ask with a sullen expression: "Doctor Lin, is there any trace of drugging on my father and little sister? They would never commit such acts; they must have been framed!"
He absolutely will not spare the one behind this.
Doctor Lin, however, shook his head and said, "Young Master Cai, your suspicion is not unfounded, but my medical skills are limited, I didn’t find any traces of drugging, you might want to check with other imperial physicians."
"Are you sure? That’s impossible!" Cai Jing immediately shouted.
How could there be no problem?
"Young Master Cai, I’m just a doctor, and there are other doctors present, perhaps you should invite them to take a look?" Doctor Lin said with an apologetic look.
Cai Jing’s expression turned blank for a moment, then his shoulders slumped despondently.
Do they think the Cai Family’s scandal isn’t big enough yet...
For a moment, Cai Jing couldn’t help but tightly clench his fists, his expression looking grim, "Thank you, Doctor Lin, but there’s no need."
Once Yan Yan wakes up, asking her will provide answers.
"Then Young Master Cai, I shall take my leave; the dead are gone, I hope Young Master Cai takes care." Doctor Lin shook his head.
In his heart, he wondered: How did the Cai Family offend the Loyal Marquis’s Estate to have the Loyal Marquis personally come to ask me for assistance?
That Miss Cai is done for.
The matters happening to the Cai Family have spread swiftly like the wind.
Everyone who heard it was dumbfounded.
But what followed were all sorts of malicious speculations and mockery.
After all, Cai Yang, as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, had offended many people normally.
Now that trouble has befallen the Cai Family, naturally, many are eager to watch the spectacle.
As for sympathy? Whether the Cai Family was framed?
Even if framed, so what?
To them, the main point is Cai Yang is dead, leaving the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s position vacant!
Indeed, an excellent opportunity!
And as everyone discussed, Feng Qingyang’s complexion turned extremely ugly.
He couldn’t believe Cai Yang could be this kind of person.
Suddenly, he coldly asked the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, "What on earth happened?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice shuddered and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I do not know."
And at this moment, the Loyal Marquis stood forth, "Your Majesty, perhaps ask Doctor Lin? He should be aware of Mr. Cai’s cause of death."
"Summon Doctor Lin!" Feng Qingyang immediately ordered.
In a short while, Doctor Lin arrived trembling.
Then, with a difficult expression, he explained Cai Yang’s cause of death.
Feng Qingyang’s face grew even darker.
As the emperor, what secret wouldn’t he have seen?
But like Cai Yang, this was the first time!
At this moment, Feng Qingyang coldly commanded, "Stop discussing this matter further, immediately throw that disrespectful scoundrel back! What a disgrace!"
Then, he coldly swept his gaze over Da Qin’s other old ministers, "And all of you, I don’t care what interests you have privately, but if such an event happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
The imperial assembly is imminent; should this matter spread, it would be utterly shameful for Da Qin’s officials.
Anyone ignorant might think Da Qin’s officials have abnormal conduct!
Especially since Cai Yang was the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, knowing the law and breaking it.
Isn’t this an outright slap to his face?
Upon hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, several officials quickly lowered their heads, their eyes flickering.
Then they dared not even breathe heavily.
At this moment, Xia Ziyang’s voice came through, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has returned."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang sharply lifted his gaze.
Then showed a joyful expression, "Really? Is the Crown Prince safe?"
Xia Ziyang replied with a grave expression, "He doesn’t look well."
"How not well?" Feng Qingyang had a stern face, but inwardly felt pleased.
"You should see for yourself, I cannot describe it well," Xia Ziyang said.
Feng Qingyang furrowed his brows, then exited the tent.
And saw Feng Qiwu approaching with a viciously brutal and impatient look, dragging a large tiger toward them.
His clothes were torn in many places, his face bore much blood, and his overall appearance exuded an air of cold cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
The Golden Scale Guards, seeing this, all held their weapons, watching him cautiously, fearing he might suddenly attack.
After all, they had witnessed the Crown Prince’s martial prowess.
If caught unprepared, they wouldn’t survive a single move under the Crown Prince’s hand.
But unexpectedly, Feng Qiwu suddenly threw the tiger onto the ground.
Then coldly swept his gaze around, asking in a deep voice, "Where’s Bai Susu? Has she returned safely?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Scale Guards suddenly relaxed.
The Crown Prince still remembered to ask about Bai Susu, indicating his rationale and clarity.
They promptly put away their weapons and replied, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, Miss Bai safely returned before noon."
Feng Qiwu then expressionlessly headed toward his tent.
Xiao Quanzi rushed to Feng Qiwu’s side, "Oh dear, Crown Prince, what happened to you? It pains this servant."
Feng Qiwu coldly glanced at him.
"Do I need your non-existent heartache?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net
Xiao Quanzi immediately fell silent.
At this moment, Feng Qingyang also stepped out.
Seeing Feng Qiwu drenched in blood, he quickly asked, "Crown Prince, are you injured?"
Feng Qiwu replied coolly, "Father, I am unharmed, but I lost consciousness for a period, maybe killed many; if anyone is missing, perhaps they were killed by me?"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials immediately panicked.
Then hastily checked if their family members had returned.
Should the Crown Prince have gone on a killing spree, even if they wished to hold him accountable, the emperor wouldn’t depose him for it; suffering would only be upon themselves.
They only hoped their children were safe and sound.
