<h4>Chapter 889: Dogfight</h4>


    Jian Fengchi waved the mask in his hands and smiled yfully. “Talking about it, I took care of His Majesty for quite some time. Even though I did it under Physician Zuo Mingxi’s name… this was also for His Majesty’s good. I believe everyone present is loyal to His Majesty and won’t mind it, right?”


    This crime was too serious, and nobody dared to deny it.


    Him standing next to His Majesty anding out of Lang Kun Hall with thetter proved that His Majesty trusted him very much! How could the others say anything?


    “Actually, this incident starts with the Third Princess,” said Jian Fengchi with a smile. “I still remember that I coincidentally met the Third Princess when I entered the pce using Physician Zuo’s identity for the first time. I wonder if you still remember what you said back then, Third Princess?”


    Shangguan Wan’s face turned scarily white. I didn’t even know when Jian Fengchi pretended to be Zuo Mingxi. Why would I remember what I’ve said? But… I’ve trusted Zuo Mingxi all along, and I didn’t hide much about Father’s condition from him…


    “Back then, the Third Princess was very worried about His Majesty not waking up, so she told ‘me’ to reduce the dosage and find ways to wake His Majesty up.” Jian Fengchi sincerely pped.


    <i>Pak!</i>


    <i>Pak!</i>


    <i>Pak!</i>


    “The heavens can be the judge to the Third Princess’s filial piety! To awaken His Majesty, she couldn’t even bear to use those drugs on him anymore. Just based on this point alone, I believe nobody present canpare to her, right? Hm?”


    Jian Fengchi’s words were like a sharp knife that directly sliced through Shangguan Wan’s hypocritical outer surface.


    Finally, the calm expression she forced herself to have cracked!


    “I-I didn’t…” She instinctively retorted, but she looked anxious, and her feet were weak. She clearly was exposed!


    Shangguan Wan finally couldn’t take it anymore as she said with much hatred toward Zuo Mingxi, “Zuo Mingxi, to think I trusted you so much! How dare you betray me like this!?”


    <i>If he didn’t join hands with Jian Fengchi, why would this happen?”</i>


    “I, you… I don’t know anything!” Zuo Mingxi wanted to say something, but he felt guilty and didn’t know what to say.


    He really didn’t know that Jian Fengchi had always been secretly using his identity to enter the pce, but it wasn’t like he hadn’t noticed it.


    During this period, he would asionally feel that he liked to sleep even more than before, and his head became even more muddled. This feeling would be even more intense when it was his time to do his duties.


    He vaguely felt that something was off, but he didn’t dare to announce it. He was terrified that Shangguan Wan and the rest would directly kill him if they found out.


    However, he didn’t expect that he still couldn’t hide the issue! It even ended up in this state today!


    Shangguan Wan felt extreme hatred, but she knew that there was no use to say all of this now. The only way was to try her best to get herself out of the situation and prove her innocence!


    But how could it be that easy?!


    She thought of the many words she previously said in Qingfeng Pce, thinking that her father wasn’t awake.?<i>If Father has heard all of that…</i>


    “Oh right, there’s Jiang Yucheng too.” Jian Fengchi’s gaze turned, and his lips curled up in a sinister manner, his eyes filled with mockery. “Later on, you also said something simr. I remember it very clearly.”


    Jiang Yucheng’s expression seemed to freeze for a moment as his eyes, lips, and nose became scarily stiff!


    Various scenes kept shing through his mind!?<i>No wonder… No wonder I felt that Zuo Mingxi was quite weird previously. So it was someone else instead!</i>


    When he saw Jian Fengchi apanying His Majesty out earlier, he felt very uneasy.?<i>It’s indeed exposed now! No matter if Jian Fengchi is speaking the truth or not, Shangguan Wan and I have no way of denying it! Who told him to be standing beside His Majesty now!? Everything Jian Fengchi is saying now was clearly already approved by His Majesty, and… It even represents His Majesty’s stance!</i>


    “I didn’t enter the pce many times, but every time I saw the two of you, you would talk about the usage of drugs back then. Wasn’t Officer Xiahou talking about this just now? What, do you deny it?”


    <i>With the evidence being flung at our faces, we would be very thick-skinned to deny everything!</i>


    Dead silence.


    Jiang Yucheng and Shangguan Wan fell silent.


    They couldn’t wash off their suspicions just by denying it now. After all, there was a very high chance His Majesty knew about all these things!


    If he had woken up much earlier on, then… Many things were already confirmed!


    But when the crowd thought that the truth was already out and that the duo was about to admit their crimes, Jiang Yucheng suddenly said, “I really didn’t know that His Majesty was poisoned back then. Wan’er told me that she had used too many drugs back then to cultivate His Majesty’s body, causing him to fall into aa. As for using less medicine, we did discuss it for quite a long time, but I didn’t know it was poison.”


    Hearing this, Shangguan Wan gradually widened her eyes in shock and looked at Jiang Yucheng in disbelief. “W-what did you say?”


    Jiang Yucheng looked apologetic. “Sorry, Wan’er. I only helped you because you lied to me back then. But now that everything is clear… I can’t help you anymore. You should take responsibility for whatever you did.”


    Chu Liuyue found it amazing.?<i>If it weren’t because the atmosphere isn’t suitable, I would want to apud Jiang Yucheng’s ability to argue! I’ve finally witnessed what it means by ‘distorting the truth!’ Seeing that everything is about to fail, he first sacrificed Shangguan Wan to protect himself! However, this harsh and cruel method is indeed his usual style. How could Shangguan Wan be his match?</i>


    As expected, Shangguan Wanpletely exploded after she heard this and fell into a temporary shock. “Jiang Yucheng, what exactly are you saying?! Are you trying to push all the me on me?! Okay! Since you’re heartless, don’t me me for being ruthless!”


    Shangguan Wan stepped forward, went to the middle, and screamed, “Whatever Xiahou Rong previously said was right! Everything wasmanded by Jiang Yucheng! He was the one who attacked Father and deployed the Thirteen Yue Guards away! He was the one who secretly sent people to attack Chong Xu Cab! He was the mastermind behind everything!”


    The veins on Jiang Yucheng’s forehead throbbed, and he coldly said, “Wan’er, you’re muddle-headed!”


    Shangguan Wan didn’t care about him. She was already humiliated today, and her emotions were originally not stable. With Jian Fengchi and the rest’s additional blow, she couldn’t take it anymore.


    Anyway, she already couldn’t deny anything. It would be hard for her to make aeback in the future.


    Not mentioning that she had no fate with the throne, but she might not even be able to keep her status as the Third Princess! After today, her life and death were still unknown!


    <i>At this point, Jiang Yucheng actually took the initiative to betray me. Then, there is no reason for me to care about anything else!</i>?She red straight at Jiang Yucheng with red eyes andughed coldly. “Hah! What, do you not want to admit it now? Don’t forget that you were the one who poisoned Shangguan Yue with the Dispelling Yuan Powder for three years and eventually attacked her on the day before your wedding, trapping her in the royal family’s ancestral hall!”
