Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2348 - 2304: Guard Mansion

At this moment, Chen Yang also felt murderous intent towards Wei You.

The spiritual energy flowed in his hand, and he stared intently at Wei You, approaching slowly.

Wei You sensed the danger, and was filled with horror.

"You, what are you doing? My father is the Prime Minister, and is a sworn brother of the Python King. If you offend me, you will meet a terrible fate." Wei You retreated in panic.

He tried once more to use his status to intimidate Chen Yang.

But to Chen Yang, this had no effect at all.

"Prime Minister? Ha, is the Prime Minister greater than His Majesty?" Chen Yang replied coldly.

Wei You was stunned: "You, you belong to the Royal Family."

"Ask in hell," Chen Yang roared and then aimed a fierce palm strike at Wei You’s chest.

If this strike hit Wei You, he would surely die.

Unfortunately, at that moment, the Vice General responsible for maintaining order in the area appeared.

Leaping out of nowhere, with a swing of a large sword, he deflected Chen Yang’s palm force.

Wei You was so frightened that he nearly collapsed, but seeing the Vice General appear before him, he was overjoyed.

"General Niu, you’ve come just in time, help me kill him, he’s trying to murder me in the street, disregarding the laws of Great Jing." Wei You sneered, immediately twisting the situation.

Clearly, he was the one who blocked the street with horses, trying to snatch Chen Yang’s Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower, yet he made it sound as if Chen Yang was assaulting him.

"Such audacity, to attempt the assassination of the Prime Minister’s son at the feet of the Emperor." Upon hearing this, General Niu was instantly incensed.

His eyes widened with explosive anger.

Seeing someone arrive, Chen Yang immediately realized that he wouldn’t be able to kill Wei You today.

With a serious gaze, Chen Yang said, "General Niu, are you going to believe his one-sided words?"

"The matter isn’t as he claims." At this moment, Tu Qi also sheathed his sword, striding forward.

"Then tell me how it really is." Hearing this, General Niu thought it reasonable.

Wei You was known in the Capital for being a notorious playboy; it would be impulsive to trust his one-sided argument.

"The matter is simple. I came at the command of the Crown Prince to seek medicine for His Majesty’s treatment. Wei You blocked my path to steal my Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower, wanting the Emperor not to recover."

Wei You could throw accusations; Chen Yang could do it too.

He turned Wei You’s act from highway robbery into a plot to harm the Emperor.

"His intention is to seize this crucial Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower." Speaking thus, Chen Yang took out the miraculous Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower from his storage space.

He presented it before General Niu’s eyes.

Wow.

Chen Yang’s statements left everyone present dumbfounded.

The most surprised person was, of course, Wei You.

Wei You did come for the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower, but he had no idea Chen Yang came from the Imperial Palace.

Nor did he know the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower was meant for the Emperor’s treatment.

Stealing the Emperor’s medicine and being interpreted as premeditated.

This was a crime punishable by extermination of nine familial generations.

Wei You was so terrified that his face turned pale, and his mind was in shambles: "No, it’s not, it’s not..."

"General Niu, he’s lying, this isn’t how it happened."

"I indeed had my eye on his Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower, but I absolutely had no intention against the Emperor."

"General Niu, you must investigate thoroughly."

In his chaotic state, Wei You only wanted to clear the charges of plotting against the Emperor, disregarding everything else.

This was precisely the effect Chen Yang desired.

"General Niu, did you hear that? He himself admitted his target is my Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower. It’s clear now; he has people behind him with intent to harm the Emperor." Chen Yang proclaimed loudly.

Chen Yang’s words were light, but to Wei You’s ears, they rang louder than thunder.

"No, none of this is true, you’re slandering me." Wei You shouted, pointing at Chen Yang.

General Niu initially thought it was a simple matter, but now it seemed like a big deal.

Certainly not something to be brushed aside with a few words or a casual punishment.

"Enough, don’t speak further, this matter is significant, you will return with me to the Guard Mansion, I must investigate thoroughly."

General Niu said.

"That’s best." Chen Yang appeared calm, unafraid at all.

Wei You looked incredibly distressed but had no choice but to be taken away.

In the end, all of them were taken away by General Niu.

Brought to the local Guard Mansion, they were interrogated and investigated.

Since Chen Yang did nothing wrong, he naturally was unafraid.

Instead, he firmly accused Wei You of being instructed by someone to deliberately attempt the robbery.

Thus, Wei You faced greater troubles, needing to provide extensive explanations.

Otherwise, bearing the accusation of plotting against the Emperor would not be a trivial matter.

They were undergoing these matters at the Guard Mansion.

Meanwhile, Prince Jing Kang and Prime Minister Wei Jinsan both received news.

Both naturally rushed to the Guard Mansion immediately.

With the Crown Prince’s arrival, Chen Yang had no issues.

With the Crown Prince testifying, he was indeed there for the Emperor’s treatment, along with the witnesses from the Black Cloud Auction and the street.

A brief investigation confirmed that Chen Yang’s actions were without issues.

But for Wei You, the more they investigated, the more troubles arose.

It could even be said that it was impossible to escape from it.

Eventually, it was the crafty old Prime Minister who intervened to hastily resolve the matter.

Wei You was not ultimately charged with plotting against the Emperor.

However, he couldn’t escape the charge of disregarding laws and causing chaos in the street.

Under pressure from the Crown Prince, Wei You was directly punished according to the laws.

Imprisoned for ten years.

Upon hearing this final outcome, the old fox Wei Jinsan couldn’t maintain his calm demeanor.

That was his son.

Ten years in prison is a huge punishment.

It’s known that in the prison, there are special formations in place.

They isolate spiritual energy, making cultivation impossible and time purely wasted.

Wei You was already a waste.

If imprisoned for ten years, he would become a genuine waste.

"Prime Minister, as the Grand Secretary, you should lead by example. With such an incident at home, you bear primary responsibility." Prince Jing Kang remarked coldly, unwilling to spare Wei Jinsan as he criticized him.

Though Wei Jinsan had been colluding with the Python King, he had long disregarded Prince Jing Kang, seeing him as an enemy.

However, no matter what, outwardly Prince Jing Kang was still the Crown Prince. Regardless of his anger, he must still show respect as if Jing Kang were truly the Crown Prince.

In terms of rank, he was still a subordinate.

"As Your Highness says, it is my fault for not properly educating my son, leading him to commit such a grave sin. Rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly reflect deeply upon my return home, to prevent such incidents from happening again." Wei Jinsan endured great inner rage, bowing as he spoke.

Prince Jing Kang laughed coldly.
