"Only after I obtained my merit did she finally have peace."
As Prime Minister Lin said this, the Emperor and the Ji brothers, Youzhi and Youze, showed expressions of realization.
"As expected, it was Mr. Wu. The old Mrs. Lin was gravely ill, and you sought medical help with a hefty sum!
A puppet clone of Xunyang helped you treat her, allowing her to die of old age in peace. Thus, you became a mere pawn in Xunyang's hands!"
"I don't know who this Xunyang mentioned by Divine Hunter Ji is, but Mr. Wu indeed exists. According to him, he is a Miao doctor, skilled in witchcraft, who can heal my mother, relieve her pain, and allow her to live peacefully until her natural end. However, he wanted me to agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
The Emperor hurriedly pursued the inquiry.
"He didn't state it at the time; it was a promise he sought to fulfill later!"
"If I'm not mistaken, his condition was to find a way to keep Li Xu in the Capital City, wasn't it?"
