Chapter 124 Clues

Wang Feihu hesitated and said, "But the letter from the Ministry of Justice has arrived. Everyone, including this crazy woman, will be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau..."

Before Wang Feihu could finish his words, he was frightened by Ye Xuan's cold eyes, "She is already like this, do those people in the Ministry of Justice still expect her to receive customers?"

"This..." Wang Feihu was speechless.

Ye Xuan sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Just do it. If anyone from the Ministry of Justice asks, just say it was my order."

Wang Feihu then breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took two Jinyiwei away to take the crazy woman away.

Soon after, a long sigh of relief came from deep within the prison.

After this incident, Ye Xuan suddenly became a little bored and was ready to leave, but he heard a choked voice.

"Sir, you are a good man!" Doctor Xu's daughter, the girl who would rather die than obey, choked up and looked up at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan shook his head, thinking that the girl wanted to find relief like that crazy woman.

However, all of Doctor Xu's family members were known to the public, and the case had already been settled, so all these female relatives, young and old, would be sent to the Jiaofangsi.

Ye Xuan violated the rules and gave that crazy woman a relief. If the Ministry of Justice were to investigate, it would be a big trouble.

If it was just this one, he could still find some excuses for his sudden death, but it was impossible for two to die suddenly, and there was no reason for Ye Xuan to continue to risk his life for Doctor Xu's family.

Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to leave again, the girl hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you trying to find my father's accomplices?"

Ye Xuan paused and looked at the girl: "Tell me, I can guarantee that no one will torture you during your time in the Pacification Bureau!"

After that, Ye Xuan took another look and said, "Take everyone else away. I want to talk to this girl alone."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in response.

Soon, Ye Xuan and the girl were the only ones left in the cell.

According to the files, the sixteen-year-old girl was named Xu Meng, and was the only daughter of Imperial Physician Xu.

"Xu Meng, you should know the consequences of deceiving me." Ye Xuan sat down again, looking down at Xu Meng condescendingly.

Xu Meng tightened her prison uniform, which was revealing some of her beauty, and said sadly, "My fate is already determined. How can I deceive you?"

Ye Xuan nodded and looked at her indifferently.

After the sadness, Xu Meng began to say: "That was when my father was not yet in charge of the East Palace..."

One night, Xu Meng accidentally discovered that her father was very uneasy and was pacing in the hall.

Xu Meng originally thought that his father was feeling depressed because he had not been given an important position since he surrendered.

Just when she was about to speak up, her father sternly scolded her for not going to bed so late, and ordered her to go back to her room immediately and not come out without his permission.

Xu Meng was originally a well-behaved girl, but Doctor Xu's behavior that day was so abnormal that it aroused Xu Meng's curiosity.

So for the first time in his life, Xu Meng went against his father's wishes. Instead of going back to his room to sleep, he hid in the dark and tried to find out why Doctor Xu was behaving so abnormally.

Until midnight, Doctor Xu was still pacing in the hall, and his eyes would look at the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone. This situation continued until the second half of the night, when the door suddenly heard three short and one long rhythmic knocks.

Doctor Xu seemed to have known that someone would knock on the door, and he immediately opened it quickly.

A mysterious man wearing a black cloak and with an unclear face walked in.

Although the mysterious person covered his face with a hood, Xu Meng could still tell from his body shape and voice that he was a woman, and definitely a young lady.

Could it be that his father had become a womanizer in his old age and found another one without his stepmother's knowledge?
Xu Meng's intuition told him that this possibility was not high. Sure enough, not long after, the two of them sat down and talked about something mysteriously. The mysterious man even took out a bottle of something from his sleeve and handed it to Doctor Xu.

But because they were too far away and the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, Xu Meng only heard a few words.

But just these few words scared Xu Meng so much that he dared not mention to anyone what he had seen tonight.

"Mother, this..."

"Back carbuncle...patient, be careful..."

"If found... a human head..."

"The big thing...is at this moment..."

Although Xu Meng couldn't hear clearly what the two were talking about, she could guess from the way Doctor Xu addressed the mysterious person that the person must be a concubine in the harem, or at least the concubine of the prince of the vassal state.

The mysterious man obviously wanted to tell Doctor Xu something important. Doctor Xu was reluctant at first, but he didn't know what the mysterious man said, but Doctor Xu finally nodded and agreed.

After the mysterious man left, Xu Meng quietly returned to his room for fear of being discovered by his father.

This was the first and last time Xu Meng saw the mysterious man. Later, good news came that Doctor Xu was transferred to be in charge of the Eastern Palace.

Everyone in the world knows that the Eastern Palace is the residence of the prince. If Doctor Xu can be responsible for taking care of the prince's health, he will surely be promoted when the prince ascends the throne in the future. This is a good job that many people in the Imperial Hospital dream of.

Unexpectedly, the person who fell into the hands of Doctor Xu, an old official from the previous dynasty who had been sitting on the bench for several years, was the first person Xu Meng thought of, the mysterious person whom his father called "Empress".

After hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at the little girl in front of him again with some surprise. If an ordinary person had such a big secret in his heart, he would have told it out long ago, hoping to save his life.

But Xu Meng didn't say a word, even when he was almost beaten by the Jinyiwei several times, he kept his mouth shut.

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "You are probably still looking forward to that lady, right?"

After being exposed by Ye Xuan, Xu Meng was not panicked, but admitted it openly: "To be honest, sir, I have been waiting for that lady to take action. I hope she can save our family members secretly because my father never betrayed her until his death."

"But she didn't!" Xu Meng's tone became somewhat resentful. "She must have thought that as long as her father died, no one would know the secret and she could rest easy. But she certainly didn't expect that someone else knew the secret."

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "You should have guessed who she is, right?"

Xu Meng nodded hesitantly and did not continue the topic.

"Sir, I don't ask you to let me go or give me a quick death. I know I will be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau to be a low-level prostitute. Any man who is willing to pay can possess me!"
