C106

Perhaps this was just a very ordinary matter, but if the two of them wanted to continue walking, they had no choice but to pay attention. Fortunately, Yan Ling and Liang He had discovered the problem early on and had untied the knot in their hearts. This could be considered a satisfactory ending.

As for the murder of Bai Yiyi, it was as Liang He had said. The case had been hastily concluded. The Imperial Physician Bai was indeed an old fox. He went to report everything to the emperor as soon as possible.

The meaning of Censor Bai's words was that the murderer of his daughter had been found. He was very sorry for misunderstanding the previous matter regarding Yan Ling.

But now that the murderer had been found, he too had committed suicide out of guilt. In order not to cause unnecessary panic and damage to the relationship between the two families, he might as well finish the case as soon as possible and settle the rest of the matters by himself. He didn't need to bother the Crown Prince anymore.

These words made sense. Even if he had spent a lot of time and effort on his face, he could still be considered to have passed. Since that was the case, how could the emperor, who originally didn't have much interest in this matter, not use it?

Of course, the Emperor wasn't stupid. He also knew that there were definitely many tricks involved. However, as long as it didn't endanger his land, he wouldn't bother to interfere in personal conflicts.

If it were another twenty or thirty years, the Emperor might have the ability to investigate this matter to the end, and not a speck of sand would be left in his eyes.

However, at this age, the Emperor finally understood that some matters only required a result, and it was enough to give them an explanation. As for what the truth was, there was no need to investigate it deeply, nor were there many people who wanted to know.

After so many years, were there still less open struggles and covert battles in the imperial court? The emperor knew that this situation couldn't be stopped completely, so as long as there wasn't too much of a commotion, they would be able to cause themselves to suffer.

On one hand, the Emperor didn't have the energy to care about such trivial matters. On the other hand, as a ruler, he didn't need to be intimate with others. As long as he could control the general situation, it would be enough. As long as the mountains and rivers remained in his hands, those battles would always be a small matter.

A pattern would form a balance after a period of time. Once the balance was disturbed, the result wouldn't necessarily be something he could handle. It was the same for the court.

If the imperial government became the talk of the town, then even if the person in the main hall was him, he might not be able to sit in peace.

Some of these things seemed like a small matter, but who wouldn't understand the logic behind them? Now that Bai Yiyi was able to return to being at peace, it wasn't a bad thing for her to be in the water.

As for Prime Minister Yan … If it was someone else's matter, he might have to argue with Imperial Physician Bai about it. However, since this matter involved Yan Ling, he really didn't want to get involved anymore.

No matter what, this was still a matter of the Bai Clan's business, and it had previously involved the Yan Clan. However, since it had already been proven that this had nothing to do with the Yan Clan, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. If they continued to look into it, what sort of unforeseen event would occur? Who could say for sure? If he forced the old fox from the Bai Clan into a corner. It was not impossible to bite back at them using some tricks.

Furthermore, the emperor was clearly very satisfied with this method of handling the matter. If Prime Minister Yan did not tactfully raise a rebuttal and requested that the investigation be continued, wouldn't that mean that there would be a lot left over?

Just like this, the three influential figures came to an agreement. They all tacitly reduced this matter to a trivial matter.

As for the fact that Imperial Physician Bai said he wanted to deal with the aftermath, it was just a matter of face in everyone's eyes. Who could be clearer about what was going on behind their backs?

However, if he were to think like that, he would truly wrongly accuse Imperial Physician Bai. He did indeed have this plan to deal with it. After all, causing such a ruckus in the mansion was simply not putting him, the clan head, in his eyes.

Of course, Imperial Physician Bai knew that Hong Ye didn't have that much skill and guts. In that case, it was obvious who gave the instructions.

Bai Fei Fei was the first daughter of Bai Yu Shi, and the reason why Bai Fei Fei valued her daughter was not only because she was the first child, but also partly because she didn't think the same way as Bai Fei Fei, and was only thinking for the sake of the Bai Clan.

Imperial Physician Bai knew Bai Fei Fei very well. What she could do, and what she couldn't do, was naturally something that Imperial Physician Bai knew as well. If this matter was really done by Bai Fei Fei, then it would be impossible for her to not discuss it with this father, the Patriarch.

Therefore, Bai Fei Fei's suspicion had already been eliminated by Imperial Physician Bai. Who else had the ability to do such a thing under his nose? What's more, they must have had a motive to do so.

"Go and call the Second Miss over. I'll be waiting for her in the study." As soon as he returned to his own residence, he ordered his men to call the Snow Cherry over.

By the time the old housekeeper found Snow Cherry, Snow Cherry had mentally prepared herself, she knew that she could not hide this matter from him. Although he had already decided long ago what to do, it was impossible to not be nervous when the situation was right in front of him.

In truth, from the bottom of her heart, Snow Cherry had always been very afraid of her father. As the lord of the family, the Imperial Physician Bai rarely showed mercy to his daughters. He was always aloof and unapproachable.

After taking a deep breath, Snow Cherry forced herself to calm down and lightly closed the door to the study.

"Come in." She waited until there was a reply before she pushed open the door and walked in.

After entering the study room, Snow Cherry closed the door softly. Then, she walked to a spot three feet away from the desk and kneeled down, not saying anything else.

Imperial Physician Bai acted as if he didn't see her. He continued to read and take care of his own affairs. The study room was so quiet, it was as if a needle had dropped on the floor. The sound could be clearly heard.

About half an hour later, Snow Cherry could no longer hold on. The cold sweat on her forehead flowed down continuously. Her knees seemed to have lost all feeling, yet she did not dare to move even a bit.

It was at this moment that Imperial Physician Bai finally realized that there was someone else in the room. He raised his head calmly and glanced at Snow Cherry who was kneeling on the ground. He felt a strange emotion in his heart.

Imperial Physician Bai couldn't say that he doted on his daughter, but it was enough to make him think highly of her.

At this moment in time, no matter who else was it, even if it was Bai Fei Fei Fei, she would probably already have begged for mercy.
