However, Li Defu just glanced at her indifferently and turned away. He ignored Mrs. Chu's crying and didn't even look at Chu Yichen again.

He had only one thought in his mind: "Complete the emperor's order and go back to report."

In the imperial study, the smell of ambergris rose and the atmosphere was solemn. Li Defu knelt before the emperor and reported the situation in the prison one by one. His voice was calm and powerful, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty, I have read the imperial edict as instructed. Chu Yichen and his family are all aware of their guilt. Chu Yichen begged to see Your Majesty in prison and seemed to be repentant." Li Defu said respectfully.

The emperor frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Repent? If he really had a heart of repentance, how could he have committed such a heinous crime? Pass on my decree, the execution must be carried out at 3:30 pm without delay.

As for Chu Yichen's wish to see me, let him go to see the King of Hell with this regret!"

Li Defu took the order and left, sighing inwardly.

He thought to himself: "I understand, this is not just a punishment for Chu Yichen, but also a warning to the entire court. Under power, there is no absolute loyalty or betrayal, only eternal interests and calculations."

At noon, in the study of Prince Wen's mansion, the butler was standing in the middle of the study, and the shadow guard Ying Yi was talking.

The butler spoke slowly, his tone revealing an undisguised worry.

"Yingyi, this master is dead... We have to start the second plan. We will tell the public... We accidentally bought the ghost doctor's medicine and cured the master. No one will doubt it."

When Yingyi heard this, his face darkened and his brows furrowed.

"Butler, have you really decided? That's a stand-in! We only have a limited number of stand-ins, so we must be very careful."

The butler sighed, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Yingyi, you and I both know what our mission is. The Regent's orders cannot be disobeyed. He only wants the result. The process is not important.

If the master really goes, there must be someone who can seize the throne of Xuantian Kingdom, and no one else can take advantage of the opportunity. "

Ying Yi was silent for a moment, but finally nodded: "Butler, I understand. Since you have made the decision, I will follow your arrangement. Master, you can blame yourself for being useless!"

The butler shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Yingyi, you and I are both helpless. If the master can truly understand our difficulties, he will not blame us.

As for what we said to the outside world, just as I mentioned before, we said that we accidentally got the miraculous medicine from the ghost doctor and cured the master's illness.

Such a reason is both reasonable and mysterious, and no one should doubt it. "

Yingyi nodded silently to show his agreement. He turned around and looked at his master, who was lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, and an indescribable sadness and reluctance surged in his heart.

"Butler, go and do it! I'll guard the master for a while, but I won't see him anymore.

My Lord! You have had such a rough life. It is not easy for you to reach your current position, but at this moment..."

Seeing this, the housekeeper patted Yingyi's shoulder gently.

"Yingyi, why are you sad? They are all sons of the regent. They are all masters to us.

We are all thinking about the future of the palace. Go find the palace doctor and ask them to give Qiyi and the others medicine to replace their memories. Make sure everything goes well."

Ying Yi responded and was about to leave, but then stopped and looked back at the butler.

"Butler, I...I want to stay with the master for a while. After this, maybe I will never see him again."

The housekeeper sighed and nodded: "Okay then! You stay here and watch over me. I'll be leaving first."
