Chapter 404 - 406: Seeing Through the Ruse
Shao He came to her senses, smiling as she shook her head, "No worries, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave."
"Oh, alright." Yun Qian felt she was rather odd today, her words somewhat mysterious.
Zhao Yuebei, seeing the departing figure, asked with a serious expression, "Doctor Yun, have you prepared everything?"
"Mmm," Yun Qian nodded.
"Are you sure you want to do this? If it doesn’t succeed, have you considered the dangers you and the Fifth Prince would face? The Empress is not a merciful woman."
If it weren’t for his mother’s commanding influence, would he have survived till today? And if Doctor Yun hadn’t been sent away back then, how could the Empress have let him live until now?
While picking through the medicinal herbs in his hands, Yun Qian said, "Exactly because I know the Empress’s nature, I chose to accuse her. I can’t let more people be harmed; keeping the Empress would be akin to harboring trouble."
"And my Yun Family’s vengeance cannot go unavenged. He cannot let my father remain wrongfully dead; this case must be overturned to clear my father’s name," Yun Qian said, lifting his eyes toward the sky with a determined glint in his gaze.
On her way back, Shao He coincidentally ran into Pei Chengye, intending to take a detour, but he intercepted her first.
"What a coincidence, Doctor Shao."
Shao He took a step back, maintaining some distance, and bowed, "I have seen the Second Prince."
