<h4>Chapter 872: Qingaan Pce</h4>


    Gu Li sighed and said: “The emperor, Miss Bai is the granddaughter of Master Dongfang and the fiancée of Prince Jin. It is said that she has learned superb medical skills and can cure incurable diseases. A girl like her is extremely smart. I really can’t figure out why would she drugged Prince Xiao in the empress’s pce.”


    “Furthermore, with her medical skills, even if she wants to drugged people, it’s impossible to drugged someone like this, where people can easily point her out. Wouldn’t it be equivalent to digging her own grave? Prince Xiao is a prince. What is the crime of murdering the prince? Wouldn’t she know this?”


    Seeing the emperor frowning and being silent, Gu Li continued to say: “The emperor, in fact, if you want to know the ins and outs of this matter. It’s not difficult at all. You can call a few people over for questioning, and you’ll know the answer soon.”


    Gu Li couldn’t figure it out. Why does the emperor refuse to see the clear facts? The facts were clearly in front of him. Why does he pretend he cannot see the fact before his eyes?


    The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Gu Li with doubt: “Since when did you be Prince Jin’s person?”


    Gu Li was startled, and then busily kowtowed on the floor: “The emperor, this old ve has always been the emperor’s person.”


    The emperor frowned his eyebrows and looked at the trembling Gu Li, who was kneeling. His heart was furious. Even if he was not from Prince Jin, how could he say those words to him? When did he be confused? How could he not understand it?


    “Okay, retreat!” The emperor didn’t want to see him anymore. A young eunuch came in and waited for the emperor to speak.


    “You look at me, what’s your name?” The emperor asked.


    The eunuch busily replied: “Answering back the emperor, this ve is Cheng Guang.”


    The emperor nodded and asked, “Cheng Guang, have you heard about Qingan Pce?”


    Cheng Guang nodded: ” Answering back the emperor, this ve heard about it.”


    “What do you think?” The emperor asked.


    Cheng Guang was taken aback, he looked at the eyes of the emperor and said: “What does this ve, think? This ve doesn’t understand.”


    The emperor became impatient at this time, and said in a deep voice: “Prince Jin smashed Qingan Pce, how do you think I should punish him?”


    Cheng Guang quickly kowtowed as he trembled with fear: “The emperor, the emperor, this ve doesn’t understand this. Please forgive this ve, your majesty.” Just kidding, why would he dare to say a word about it? He was not in the position to say anything. Besides, who knows what the emperor would like to hear? Does he want to protect Prince Jin? Or does he want to demote him? Once he makes a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    When the emperor saw the eunuch like this, he immediately lost interest. He waved his hand and said: “You go out and let Gu Lie in.”


    After a while, Gu Li came in again, stood on the side respectfully, and didn’t say anything.


    This time, the emperor couldn’t bear it and took the initiative to ask Gu Li: “You said before that if I want to know the ins and outs of this matter, I only need to let a few peoplee and ask questions, right?”


    Gu Li nodded his head: “Yes, a few people from the Qingaan Pce, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, and a few people from the Ruyi Pce, should be questioned.”


    The emperor said: “Alright I will leave this matter to you. You look for the people, I will ask them.”


    When Gu Li retired, he immediately went out with two little eunuchs.


    When Guli came back, he brought two pce maids from the Qingaan Pce, two pce maids from the Ruyi Pce, and as well as Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Zhong from the Imperial Hospital.


    The emperor asked them to separate them into a group for interrogations. The pce maid and the Mama of the Qing’an Pce were first left behind.


    “Speak, did Bai Zhi went to Qingan Pce on her own, or did the empress invited her?” The emperor looked and stared at them coldly.


    The pce maid trembled as she replied: “Yes, it was Miss Bai who came by herself. She said she wanted to check the empress’s pulse.”


    The emperor looked at the silent Mama and asked: “Why don’t you speak?”
