TCCRMMAICSTA Chapter 37

Yu Wanwan, still in disbelief, confirmed once more, “Really free of charge? You won’t hit me after I touch, right?”

 

【Your muscles look great, but if you really start swinging, I can’t handle it.】

 

【One punch from you and my hip bones would be shattered.】

 

The imperial guard shook his head, “Xiao Linzi and I were close brothers. For Eunuch Yu to find the one who killed him, I have nothing to repay you with. Letting you touch my abs is only fitting.”

 

Yu Wanwan nodded repeatedly, “Wuwuwu, such brotherly love is truly moving.”

 

“Young man, do you have more brothers like this? Can you call them over?”

 

“I’m not trying to touch them, I just want to get to know more brothers, that’s all.”

 

The imperial guard nodded, “Sure, I’ll call them all over.”

 

With that, he really turned and shouted to the nearby men, “Zhang Qiang, Liu Ming, come over here.”

 

At his call, several more imperial guards jogged over to Yu Wanwan. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and asked, “Eunuch Yu, do you need something from us?”

 

Yu Wanwan glanced them up and down, outwardly composed, but internally, she had already transformed into a total pervert.

 

【Those clear yet foolish eyes, these adorable muscle heads.】

 

【Touching one guy’s abs brings joy. The joy of touching three at once, ahhh, I can’t even imagine.】

 

【Alright, let me feel this supercharged happiness.】

 

She extended her trembling hand toward their abs, but just then, a soft cough interrupted her.

 

“Cough cough…”

 

Yu Wanwan clenched her fist. At this moment, she could totally understand why Captain Yang had cursed earlier.

 

At such a critical moment, this kind of coughing was just so annoying.

 

【Cough cough cough, kids who keep coughing and don’t get better are usually faking it. Just beat them a couple of times, that’ll fix it!】

 

【Got a throat infection? Ever heard of Jin Sang Zi or drinking pang da hai? Why cough in front of me?】

 

【Doubt Captain Yang. Understand Captain Yang. Become Captain Yang.】

 

Ignoring the cough, she continued to reach out toward the guards’ abs.

 

“Yu Wanfu!” A sharp voice, calling her full name, stopped her in her tracks.

 

Annoyed, she turned her head, cursing inwardly, 【Battle King, are you insane? What’s wrong with me touching them? If you don’t want me touching others, then offer yours!】

 

But on her face, she put on a bootlicking servant’s smile. “Does Your Highness have orders?”

 

Battle King narrowed his eyes, shock flooding his heart.

 

Yu Wanfu actually wants to touch my abs? No one’s ever dared to ask for that. He’s really bold. But on the surface, the Battle King remained calm, “Doctor Liu has woken up. Go interrogate him.”

 

Yu Wanwan nodded helplessly. She knew well that while her trick of making Xiao Linzi’s 

corpse fall on Doctor Liu was clever, it wasn’t enough to serve as evidence. They still needed Doctor Liu to confess.

 

She glanced back at the Imperial Guards three times as she walked away. 【Wait for me! Our abs appointment is far from over!】

 

The Battle King’s eyes darkened, and he immediately ordered the guards, “Back to training.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

 

The Imperial Guards knew whose orders weighed heavier, and quickly followed the Battle King’s command.

 

Satisfied, the Battle King nodded. There wasn’t any particular reason; he simply didn’t want Yu Wanfu to get what he wanted. A scheming little eunuch with such impure thoughts—fortunately, the Battle King could hear his inner voice. Without it, life wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining.

 

And… this wasn’t personal. He was saving Yu Wanfu. If these filthy thoughts were allowed to fester, there’d definitely be trouble down the line!

 

Yes… This king is indeed the embodiment of righteousness.

 

As these thoughts ran through his mind, the Battle King entered the interrogation room.

 

At that moment, Doctor Liu was kneeling miserably on the ground, while Yu Wanwan stood beside him, questioning: “Old Liu, how could you bring yourself to harm Xiao Linzi, such a young man in the prime of his life?”

 

Doctor Liu remained silent, his expression determined, refusing to admit to anything.

 

Seeing this, Yu Wanwan raised her leg and kicked him: “Playing dead, huh? Xiao Linzi already identified you, and you still want to deny it?”

 

“You planned this out well. You prepared the poisonous herbs ahead of time and had Doctor Wen go pick them up, so he’d take the blame for you!”

 

Doctor Liu, having been kicked, chuckled coldly, “Heh, the herbs were fetched by Wen Youchu. I never touched them. What does that have to do with me?”

 

“As for Xiao Linzi’s supposed resurrection, can ghost stories like that even be used as evidence?”

 

“For all we know, you could’ve tampered with the coffin when you opened it just now.”

 

By this point, Doctor Liu had regained his composure from his earlier terror, and his words were now logical and structured.

 

A faint smile appeared on Yu Wanwan’s face: 【You guessed right, so here’s a prize: a couple of well-deserved slaps.】

 

She immediately raised her hand and gave Doctor Liu two sharp slaps. “Lying without blushing, huh? Let me help you out with that by giving you some colour.”

 

Doctor Liu, suddenly struck with two hard slaps, was left dumbfounded. “You… you dare hit me?”

 

He had served as an imperial doctor for so many years without ever facing punishment, and now he was struck by a mere eunuch!

 

His fury exploded. “So you plan to beat a confession out of me?”

 

Yu Wanwan snapped her fingers. “Someone, bring the torture tools.”

 

After that, she patted Doctor Liu on the shoulder. “Everyone in the East Guard Camp knows you’re the one who killed Xiao Linzi. Your confession is just a piece of paper.”

 

“As long as I get your confession, the method doesn’t matter. Do you think the Emperor will care if you were tortured into confessing?”

 

“He’s already achieved his goal. You… you’re just a discarded pawn. Understand?”

 

This Doctor Liu was the same physician who had treated Liang Fei in the past, and he had also helped cover for Zhou the Cripple when deceiving her.

 

His motives for targeting Doctor Wen were clear. Right now, Liang Fei only allowed Doctor Wen to take her pulse for peace of mind, never letting Doctor Liu set foot in Liangchen Palace. But he still had a task given to him by the Emperor, so naturally, he grew desperate.

 

He wanted to eliminate Doctor Wen, so he could continue using medicine to wear down Liang Fei ’s health. At the same time, he feared Doctor Wen would discover something unusual. If Liang Fei  acted against him, the Emperor wouldn’t expose his intentions just to protect Doctor Liu. So, he took a risky move, using the pretext of the Imperial Guard’s treatment to deal with Wen Youchu.

 

Hearing this, Doctor Liu’s body began to tremble. How… how could this be? His connection to the Emperor was supposed to be a secret!

 

How did Yu Wanfu know all of this?

 

If Yu Wanfu knew so much, did that mean… Liang Fei  had known long ago and had just been waiting for the right moment to strike?

 

Avoiding suspicion from the Emperor…

 

They were waiting for the chance to catch the big fish! And now, by framing Doctor Wen, he’d handed them the perfect opportunity to eliminate him without raising any doubts. The Emperor wouldn’t suspect a thing, thinking Liang Fe ’s health had already been ruined. He wouldn’t take further risks against her.

 

In that case, Noble Consort Liang’s plans would proceed even more smoothly!

 

Understanding everything, Doctor Liu burst into manic laughter, “Hahaha! Yu Wanfu, with that brain of yours, it’s truly a waste for you to be a mere eunuch!”

 

He had plotted against Wen Youchu, but in the end, he lost his own life in the scheme.

 

Before anyone could react, Doctor Liu stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, black blood pouring from his lips.

 

Though his mouth was filled with black blood, he forced a grin and looked at Yu Wanwan. “Eunuch Yu, I hope you enjoy the gift I’m leaving you before I die!”
