Chapter 253: Death of Imperial Physician Yao

When Madam Yao learned that there was a word "Yao" embroidered on the brocade handkerchief that Cui Lanwei had checked, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although the surname Yao is very common, it just so happens that her surname is Yao. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

She usually has a fixed number of handkerchiefs to use. Every time she changes a handkerchief, she will destroy it carefully and will not throw it away casually.

After returning to her room, Madam Yao took out all the handkerchiefs and counted them.

"That's not right. Why are there only 11? One is missing."

The anxious Mrs. Yao immediately rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets, trying to find the missing one, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. There couldn't be so many coincidences in the world. Why did she lose a handkerchief, and Cui Lanwei was looking for someone with a handkerchief embroidered with the word Yao.

After much thought, Madam Yao decided to go find Ye Yanran just in case, saying that she wanted to go to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray for her and the little grandson.

Madam Yao did not really run away, but left spies in the Prince Qi's mansion, and she temporarily lived in a farm outside the capital.

As long as there is news from Prince Qi's Palace, she can respond quickly.

On the second day after Madam Yao left, Cui Lanwei brought people to look for her.

Ye Yanran never expected that she wanted to watch the show, but ended up getting burned by the fire.

She never expected that this matter involved Madam Yao.

"Is there a misunderstanding in this matter? Madam Yao has been taking care of me in Prince Qi's mansion for some time and has not left."

"This matter involves a lot of people. Please ask Madam Yao to speak out. If this matter has nothing to do with her, it would be great. Even if it does, it is not a big deal."

Cui Lanwei spoke slowly and seemed very respectful, but she gave Ye Yanran a sense of oppression, forcing her to obey her arrangements, because behind her was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.

"Yesterday, Madam Yao went to the White Horse Temple to pray for me and my little grandson. I'm afraid she won't be back until this afternoon."

Upon hearing that Madam Yao was not at home, Cui Lan frowned slightly.

"I see. Then I wonder if Your Majesty could ask the embroiderer in the palace to see it."

"nature."

There were more than a dozen embroiderers in Prince Qi's mansion, and Ye Yanran called them all.

Cui Lanwei took out the bloody handkerchief and asked them to identify it one by one to see if it belonged to Madam Yao.

Madam Yao was good at sewing, and the embroiderer in the palace recognized the handkerchief as hers at a glance.

Now Ye Yanran was no longer calm.

"Someone must have framed Madam Yao. She has been in the palace and has not been anywhere. How could she have done such a bad thing?"

Ye Yanran defended Madam Yao without hesitation.

She is now very dependent on Madam Yao. Not only is she an excellent doctor who can help her take care of her body, she is also her military advisor. If she really dies, she will have no one suitable for her in the Prince Qi's Mansion, and her life will be difficult.

"Don't worry, Madam. You'll know when Madam Yao comes and asks you."

Even if it wasn't Madam Yao who personally broke into the palace to steal the treasury, it must be someone Madam Yao knew.

Cui Lanwei was a little excited, things were finally starting to look promising.

"Someone, go to the White Horse Temple and bring Madam Yao back."

The guards following Cui Lanwei immediately rode to the White Horse Temple to capture Madam Yao without saying a word.

It is conceivable that they would definitely not be able to catch anyone. Madam Yao ran away, but her master Ye Yanran and Madam Yao's father, Doctor Yao, could not escape.

After carefully questioning Ye Yanran, Cui Lanwei did not leave Prince Qi's Mansion immediately, but went to Madam Yao's room to look for something.

Even Su Shu couldn't bear to see Cui Lanwei being so arrogant.

"This is really too much. Your Highness is still the princess after all. Aunt Cui is just a female official of low rank. How dare she ask Your Highness in such a way in public? She really doesn't take the Qi Palace seriously."

Ye Yanran sneered in her heart. This was the fate of an unfavored princess. If she was a favored one, even if Imperial Noble Consort Dehui came, she would not dare to treat her like this.

Without the support of her powerful family and without the backing of her husband, it would be strange if she wasn't bullied.

The more Ye Yanran thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her desire for power reached an unprecedented level.

After searching Madam Yao's room for a long time, Cui Lanwei found nothing.

How could she let go of a clue that she had finally found? She immediately led a large group of people to Doctor Yao's residence.

"Doctor Yao, we have known each other for many years. I won't beat around the bush with you. You also know that not just anyone can keep the snake heart fruit alive. If it is really Madam Yao who stole the snake heart fruit, Doctor Yao should persuade her to return the snake heart fruit as soon as possible to avoid killing it."

When Imperial Doctor Yao heard Cui Lanwei's account of what happened, he was completely stunned.

"Aunt Cui, is there a misunderstanding? Even if my little girl is brave, she would not dare to covet the snake heart fruit raised in the palace."

"Although this may sound a little unbelievable, it is the truth, and the handkerchief is not fake."

Cui Lanwei's face turned visibly ugly when she saw that Doctor Yao was trying to fool people about the matter.

Doctor Yao's mind went blank at this moment. If this was really done by his daughter, even if all the Yao family members sacrificed their lives, it would probably not be enough to compensate.

"Aunt Cui, you know what kind of person I am. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to take the snake heart fruit."

Doctor Yao thought that Cui Lanwei and he were from the same school, so if something happened she should stand on his side.

Unfortunately, he still didn't understand Cui Lanwei. When it came to her interests, she didn't care whether they were from the same school or not.

She immediately searched the Yao family's house thoroughly.

Since she didn't find any useful clues, she arrested Doctor Yao and his entire family without saying a word.

She just didn't believe that Madam Yao, a woman, could do such a terrible thing all by herself. Doctor Yao said he knew nothing about it and that she must be kidding.

When Cui Lanwei returned to the palace to report, she happened to meet Emperor Jing who came to have dinner with Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.

She waited outside and did not go in to disturb him. She waited until Emperor Jing left before going in.

She gave a brief account of Madam Yao's affairs.

"Now the clues are broken again. Imperial Doctor Yao didn't find any useful clues, and the Yao family didn't find anything either."

"What is the origin of this Lady Yao? How could a woman like her transport so much silver out of the palace without anyone noticing?"

"Madam Yao should have accomplices. As long as we find Madam Yao, the others will surely not be able to escape either."

Noble Consort Dehui had a ruthless look on her face. As Lady Yao's father, Imperial Doctor Yao could not have known nothing about this matter.

"Lan Wei, you must do everything you can to pry open Doctor Yao's mouth and make him tell you everything he knows."

"Yes, if Doctor Yao doesn't say anything, we can't keep him. He knows too much."

Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was silent for a moment, and then continued, "When the Lin family was convicted, we should have killed Imperial Doctor Yao directly. Today is a good opportunity to get rid of him and prevent future troubles."

"Yes."

At that time, the Lin family was involved in a case of embezzling military funds. In order to eliminate dissidents, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui used Imperial Physician Lin to kill the favored Concubine Li.

The person who stole the secret poison made by Imperial Physician Lin, Dushisan, was Imperial Physician Yao.

It was for this reason that Doctor Yao was highly valued in the Imperial Medical Service thereafter.

Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, Doctor Yao wouldn't end up well.

When Imperial Noble Consort Dehui felt that he threatened her interests, she abandoned him without hesitation.

Doctor Yao was tortured in prison, but he didn't know what to say to escape. He was as helpless as Doctor Lin was back then.
