Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Collecting Evidence (2)
Emperor Yong’an nodded and answered Xuan Ruiquan’s question, “Yes. Duan Qinwangfei told me that when Dai Qianyi poisoned Fu Huang, a divine physician secretly helped him. However, she only knows that he is a very famous divine physician in Jiang Hu.”

“After investing for so long, I found out that the divine physician’s surname was Duan. The time when he helped Fu Huang and the time when my Shifu met his wife were also the same. I suspect that the divine physician who helped my Fu Huang was Shimu’s Father.”

When Xuan Ruiquan heard this, the scattered information in his mind suddenly connected and became a complete picture.

The reason the Chi family never appeared in his previous life, the reason Duan Yixin hated the imperial family in his previous life, and the reason Duan Qinwang, Huang Tai Hou, and Ye Cheng Xiang joined forces— all these seem to be pieced together.

Noticing the change in his expression, Emperor Yong’an asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know something?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at him and said, “Biao Ge, I think I can find evidence for you. I need to leave now.”

Before Emperor Yong’an could react, Xuan Ruiquan had disappeared. After leaving the imperial palace, Xuan Ruiquan rushed back to his mansion. After arriving, he went directly to Duan Yixin’s courtyard.

At the same time, Duan Yixin was talking with the Chi siblings. The three of them looked at the three books and a jade token on the table in silence.

After a moment of silence, Duan Yixin asked, “So you two said that these books are evidence of the current Huang Tai Hou’s crime of killing the previous emperor and First Empress and that your family worked for the previous emperor?”

Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru nodded. Duan Yixin thought for a while and said, “You said that your main mission is to protect my grandfather. But since he asked Uncle Chi to protect me before he died, your family’s new mission is to protect me?”

The Chi siblings nodded again. After a few seconds of silence, Duan Yixin asked, “Why are you telling me now? After keeping this secret for so many years, why now?”

Chi Xinru exchanged a look with her elder brother, then looked at Duan Yixin and said, “Xin Xin, I don’t want to lie to you anymore. Every time you treat us sincerely, I feel like there is a stone in my heart.”

She paused for a second and added, “Moreover, things are different now. Now that you have an indirect relationship with the imperial family through General Xuan, we think you need to know everything so you can protect yourself.”

Chi Xiyou nodded in agreement, “Yes. After long consideration, we think you should know the truth. We believe you are mature and strong enough to make your own decision. Our mission is to protect you, not keep you in control.”

Duan Yixin looked at the two of them and said, “Thank you for telling me this. In fact, I came to this imperial capital city to understand my origins and my grandfather’s enemies. But I didn’t expect that my grandfather’s enemies turned out to be Huang Tai Hou, Duan Qinwang, and Ye Cheng Xiang.”

Hearing this, the Chi siblings fell into silence. They were also very surprised when they finished reading the book. They knew that Grandpa Duan’s enemies were very powerful, but they didn’t expect them to be so powerful. The three of them alone can’t do anything to these powerful people.

While the three of them stared silently at the books and the jade token, Xuan Ruiquan arrived. Seeing three of them sitting in the lake pavilion, he quickly walked up to them. Duan Yixin smelled his body fragrance mixed with the smell of blood in the air and then raised her head.

She looked at his serious expression and asked, “General Xuan, have you finished your work?”

Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes fell on the books and the jade token on the table, and he said, “I’m back to find you.”

Duan Yixin poured him a cup of tea and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at her and said, “Xin’er, I need these books and the jade token. Maybe I need Young Master Chi and Miss Chi to accompany me to the imperial palace tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings looked at each other. The next second, Chi Xiyou asked, “Can you tell me why we need to go to the imperial palace?”

Xuan Ruiquan sat down, drank tea, and replied, “Emperor Yong’an wants to convict Huang Tai Hou, Duan Qinwang, and Ye Cheng Xiang at the palace banquet tomorrow. We plan to release the evidence to the public tomorrow night and arrest all of them.”

After speaking, he paused for a second and asked, “Young Master Chi, Miss Chi, are you willing to testify for us? You two should know about the details, right?”

Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru looked at each other and then looked at Duan Yixin. Seeing her nodding to them, Chi Xiyou said, “All right. We will do our best to assist you. However, you must protect Xin Xin.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will be with her, and she will be safe.”

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Then we should prepare for tomorrow’s imperial banquet.”

After getting their consent, Xuan Ruiquan stood up and said, “I will ask Uncle Su to help you with the preparation. I still need to see Emperor Yong’an. I will bring these things with me now.”

He picked up the books and the jade token, gently held Duan Yixin’s hand, and said, “I’m sorry, Xin’er, I can’t accompany you tonight. I will let the kitchen prepare the food you like, and you can enjoy it with Young Master Chi and Miss Chi.”

Duan Yixin nodded and patted his hand, “Mhm. Be careful.”

Xuan Ruiquan kissed her on the forehead and left in a hurry. Chi Xiyou looked at his back and said, “Tomorrow’s imperial palace banquet will be very dangerous.”
