The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

207. Let's Bet

Little Lei was surrounded by others, making his head hurt. Finally, he shouted, “Stop...If you keep asking, I don't even have a chance to talk. How can I answer it?”

“Alright, we won't ask again. Quickly tell us.” Xue Batian suppressed her anxiety, waiting for Little Lei to speak.

“Ahem, ahem...” Little Lei cleared his throat, then pretended to be experienced and said, “This matter is indeed caused by that evil woman, Su Baifeng. He and the Emperor of Heavenly Saints played chess for a long time just to see if Master had really left the City of Heavenly Saints. After making sure that she wasn't here, she finally had the guts to interrogate him.”

"The Celestial Saint Emperor wants to interrogate him personally?"

"Yes. The woman instructed me that if she's on trial, we should start moving. Su Baifeng had arrested several doctors recently. I've found them, they're locked in a secret room in the Prime Minister's Residence. They are all used to test and purify toxins. He instructed me to blow up the matter. It was best that everyone in the Heavenly Saint City knew about it. Everyone will condemn the Prime Minister's Residence and arouse the anger of the people. Also, find Gu Jinyuan..”.

"Why are you looking for me?" Gu Jinyuan had already rushed over. The guards of the Ninth Lord Residence knew of his relationship with Xue Fanxin, so they did not stop him. They let him in directly.

Gu Jinyuan had just returned from the outside when she learned that Xue Fanxin was arrested by the Ministry of Justice. He hurried to ask about the situation. "What's been going on? Why is Xin'er locked up? Didn't they say that the Heavenly Saint Emperor was afraid of Ye Jiushang? Why does he still end up in jail?”

"You have a lot of questions!" Little Lei felt a headache coming as he listened to Gu Jinyuan. He decided to ignore it. “He said that he would try his best to buy time with the Emperor of Heavenly Saints. We need to destroy the Prime Minister's Residence as quickly as possible and bring the situation into chaos. The more messy, the better.”

"Xin'er plans to blow up even more and then wipe out the enemy in chaos?"

Sometimes, chaos is not necessarily a bad thing. The more irregular, the easier it is to cause problems. Especially now that the Prime Minister's Residence is in a maelstrom of trouble. As long as they were pushed a little, they would drown by the waves and die without a burial ground.

Gu Jinyuan was not stupid and quickly understood Xue Fanxin's intentions. “Alright, I know what to do. Ah Wei, take back the accounts of the Prime Minister's Residence and the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm. Do it now."

“Young Master, this might affect the reputation of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm. Revealing customer secrets is taboo. I worry that in the future, quite a number of people will no longer be doing business with our Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm. Moreover, such a big thing had happened in the Blue Sea Villa. If something were to happen here again, the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm would be greatly affected,” Ah Wei explained the seriousness of the matter.

"That's not important. You just have to do what I say. I'll bear the consequences."

“Young Master, what you do will make the people above dissatisfied. Problems with Blue Sea Villa already..”.

“Then let them not be satisfied. I have to help Xin'er now. Do it."

Ah Wei knew that her master's decision would not be easy to change, so she could only carry out the order helplessly.

To this Ninth Empress, Young Master really did not care about anything.

...🦋🦋🦋...

The Heavenly Saint Emperor did not interrogate Xue Fanxin in the main hall but in the side hall. He did not invite ministers. Other than some of his trusted subordinates, there was no one else.

This is a private court.

However, he was the Emperor of the Celestial Saint Kingdom. Even if he set up a private court, who would dare to say a word?

“Ninth Empress, I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you return the green crystal ore, I will let you go. To be exact, you are not yet the Ninth Empress. The Ninth Empire's uncle isn't officially married to you. You're a nobody. If not for the strength of Ninth Empire's Uncle, would you be able to become so arrogant?”

The Emperor of Heavenly Saints was straight to the point. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. However, because of Ye Jiushang's strength, he chose to bear it. No matter how much she hated him, she did not dare to do anything to him.

If Ye Jiushang was in the city, would he dare to touch Xue Fanxin?

But the entire green crystal mine was equivalent to half of the wealth in the treasury of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom. Recently, the empire has declined. This wealth is very important, and he has to get it back.

He did not believe that without Ye Jiushang, he, the dignified ruler of the country, could not deal with a little girl.

“Your Majesty, someone accused me of personally mining the royal crystal mine. May I ask if you have any evidence? If you arrest someone for being interrogated without evidence and punish me without even investigating, then I will yell sadly. I beg the accuser to come and face me.”

"You ..." The Emperor of Heavenly Saints had long heard that Xue Fanxin had a sharp tongue. Moreover, his personality was arrogant, cunning, and savage. He thought he was just acting like this in front of ordinary people. He didn't expect her to treat him the same way. It was really hateful.

Xue Fanxin knew that the Emperor of Heavenly Saints was enraged. To buy time, he could only give in. “Your Majesty, the person accusing me is Su Baifeng, right? But have you ever thought about his true intentions? Did he really do it to save his father? There are many ways to save Prime Minister Su. With the financial strength of the Prime Minister's Residence, it is not difficult.”

The Emperor of the Heavenly Saints had actually considered Su Baifeng's intentions. He wanted to use him to deal with Xue Fanxin, but in order to take back that green crystal, he was willing to use it once.

Just when the Heavenly Saint Emperor thought of this, Xue Fanxin continued, “I know that in order to obtain those green crystals, you are willing to persevere with Su Baifeng, saying, but have you ever thought about how much of an impact this problem would have? Ignoring how Ah Jiu will treat you after he returns, just based on my own influence, I wonder how much pressure the four great families and the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm can endure?”

"Are you threatening me?"

“I just want to tell you the real situation, if you ignore many things to recover those green crystals and used by Su Baifeng for free. Why don't we bet?”

"About what?"

"In half a day, let's see how much pressure on your side will increase."
