vor."Ye Bufan finished speaking and turned to leave, leaving Si Tu Dian Mo alone here.The little girl stomped her foot. For some reason, she felt both relieved and a little disappointed at the same ti...Ye Bufan followed Yan Feng behind, leaning against the mountain king's mansion and the imperial palace were adjacent to each other. In fact, they could be considered part of the imperial palace. So it didn't take long for them to arrive at the inner hall.

Entering the main hall, under Yan Feng's guidance, Ye Bufan paid his respects to Dugu Yi who was seated at the center.

Fortunately, the cultivators on the Kunlun Continent held a high status. Their etiquette was simple, essentially similar to bowing in China. After paying their respects, they stood aside.

Ye Bufan took a look around. The emperor sat in the center, which was undoubtedly true. Two middle-aged men stood beside him.

He looked very much like Yuan Qihang from before, bearing three parts resemblance, and at first glance, it was clear they were father and son. It was easy to guess that this must be the Minister of War, Yuan Dahua.

And on the other side, Lin Youdao and Lin Sisi stood together, their identities self-evident.

Putting all of this together, he immediately pieced things together and realized that having himself come to treat the illness was just a ruse.

It seems that Yuan Dahua has preemptively attacked Lin's family, and I seem to have been used as a tool for the attack.

Lin Sisi arrived here first, standing behind Lin Youdao. Her face showed no change in expression, but her heart was churning like a stormy sea.

She was an extremely intelligent woman who had basically guessed the general idea of what was going on.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart. Thankfully, I had prepared in advance and asked Dr. Ye to eliminate all potential problems. Otherwise, things would have really gone wrong today.

Seeing that everyone was present, Dugu Yi waved his hand and said: “Yuan Aiqing, I leave this matter to you.”

As emperor, it was not quite appropriate for him to concern himself with such trivial matters. Lin Youdao also needed to avoid suspicion, so naturally, he handed it over to Yuan Dahua.

"I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."

Yuan Da Hua bowed deeply, then turned to face Ye Bufan.

"Dr. Ye from Guyi Men Clinic, right"

"Yes, it was me."

Ye Bufan changed from his restrained demeanor in Wangfu of Mount Rely, his expression calm and composed.

“As entrusted by His Majesty, there are some things I need to ask you. You must answer truthfully, or you will be charged with treason and your entire clan will be exterminated.”

Yuan Dahua was also a veteran of the officialdom, as cunning as a fox. He first put a big hat on the other party to scare him, and then asked, "What is your relationship with Miss Lin Sisi from the Prime Minister's Mansion"

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. This old guy came up and asked so aggressively, in modern society this would be considered entrapment, but here there weren't so many formalities.

"Of course, it's the relationship between a doctor and a patient."

Yuan Dahua continued to ask, "Miss Lin, when did you last go to her place for treatment"

Ye Bufan was too lazy to waste time with him: "Sir, your way of asking is too roundabout and a waste of time. Just say what you want to know."

Yuan Da-hua was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct and fearless.

"Well, then tell me, where did you treat Miss Lin Were there any other people present at the time"

Ye Bufan said, "Of course, it's in my clinic's treatment room. Only the two of us, no third party."

Since it's an open and honest consultation, why hide in a separate room Is there something shady going on

Yuan Dahua's words have already nakedly revealed his attitude. He wouldn't be too rude to Lin Sisi, but he has no qualms about the young doctor in front of him.

Even so, Lin Youdao next to him couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "What do you mean by that"

Yuan Dahua let out a cold smile: "Lin Xiang, His Majesty asked me to question him. You'd better not interfere and best stay out of this."

Lin Youdao also knew that he shouldn't participate too much at this time, so he could only let out a cold snort and stop talking.

At that moment, all eyes in the room were fixed on Ye Bufan, eager to see how the young man would respond.

To everyone's surprise, he didn't give a direct answer but instead turned to Yuan Dahua and asked: "Sir, are you a man of integrity"

"Um..."

Yuan Da-hua was taken aback. He hadn't expected the other party to dare question him at this juncture. He instinctively replied, "This old man has always been above board and never done anything dishonorable."

"Since you are such an open and aboveboard individual, I presume you bathe in public as well, allowing everyone to watch"

"Poppycock!"

Yuan Dahua was obviously angered by his words and angrily said, "The body and skin are received from one's parents, how could it be possible to casually bathe in public This is against the principles of propriety."

"Ye Bufan sneered, "My medical skills were passed down from my master. The secret technique I used to treat Miss Lin is a family secret and couldn't possibly be used in public. What does that have to do with being open and honest"

“This...”

Yuan Dahua, although cunning and experienced, did not expect the other party to retort so fiercely. He was speechless for a moment.

Only then did he realize that the young man before him was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

But after so many years navigating the treacherous court, he had seen his share of storms and remained remarkably calm.

"What a clever retort!"

Yuan Dahua sneered, "Even if you use your unique secret art, what's the point Don't you know that this concerns the reputation of the Crown Princess Can your medical skills possibly compare to the honor of the royal family"

As a doctor, it is my duty to treat patients. What reputation is there to speak of

I wonder if Lord Shangshu has heard that while men and women shouldn't be too intimate, there are three things a woman will never go back on.

One does not betray parents, nor one's husband, nor one's doctor.

As a doctor, it's perfectly acceptable for me to treat patients openly and honestly in my clinic.

"Speaking of which, Ye Bufan let out a cold smile. "I heard that people with ulterior motives inevitably judge others by their own hearts. No wonder the Minister would have such a dirty guess!"

"What did you just say, kid"

Yuan Da hua never expected the other person's words to be so sharp. Not only did they retort, but they also labeled him as someone with ulterior motives.

"Enough!"

At this moment, Lin Sisi, who had been silently observing from the side, suddenly shouted angrily, "Yuan Dahua, are you just trying to smear my reputation"

Speaking of this, she turned to face Dugu Yi, bowing gracefully. “Your Majesty, since I was young, under my father’s teachings, I have been well-versed in books and etiquette, always adhering to the duties of a woman.”

I never expected to be humiliated by Minister Yuan today. I am willing to die to prove my innocence.

At this point, she turned around and, with a face full of grief and rage, charged into the main hall and slammed her head against a stone pillar inside.

That stone pillar was thick enough to encircle two people, and if one were to bump into it head-on, their brains would surely burst and they would die instantly.

Fortunately, Lin Youdao had been prepared and quickly brought his daughter back.

"Daughter, absolutely not! If you truly seek to end your life, wouldn't that fall right into the trap set by the villain"

Ye Bufan also said, "Miss Lin, the clear are clear on their own. There's no need to listen to people's idle chatter. Only by living can one prove their innocence."

Dugu Yi sat there, silent and contemplative. He was also quite conflicted.

Deep down, he trusted Lin Sisi more. But in this day and age, reputation is something you can't afford to take lightly.

This matter must be cleared up, or once it spreads, the royal family will lose face.

"Just take it easy!"

Dugu Yi patted the dragon case, "Miss Lin, it's truly impossible to fake it, nor can it be real. I must investigate this matter thoroughly and give you justice."

Yuan Dahua's lips curled into a sneer. This was his killing move, he really thought that with a ruse could get away with it.

He bowed to Dugu Yi, "Your Majesty, the old minister humbly requests that you verify Miss Lin's identity so that we can clear up any misunderstandings."
