Helian Lanfeng sternly rebuked the two women, and Yu Lingyue, knowing she was in the wrong, lowered her head and remained silent.

Changsun Youyou knew the situation, but because she had no evidence, she could only clench her fists.

But this scene made Qin Yangjun very unhappy. Yu Lingyue and Changsun Youyou were the main characters, protected by a halo, and were by no means mediocre.

Although the two women had been at odds before, they were both sensible and wouldn't cause trouble while refining medicine, which was likely due to external factors.

However, no matter what, Qin Yangjun would not allow anyone to bully his woman, so he immediately stepped forward.

"But whether we can afford to take on that responsibility is our business, and there's no need for Your Highness to worry about it."

Upon seeing Qin Yangjun, Helian Lanfeng raised an eyebrow, then chuckled twice and looked up to meet Qin Yangjun's eyes without any hesitation.

"Young Master Qin, what are you saying? This medicine is for my elder sister. As her younger brother, is it wrong for me to worry about my sister?"

Helian Lanfeng spread his hands, pointing towards the Imperial Hospital.

"You've already received your payment, and this is how you do things?"

Hearing Helian Lanfeng's words, Changsun Youyou's anger intensified. Just as she was about to speak, Yu Lingyue stepped forward first.

"If I remember correctly, our materials were provided by the people from the Imperial Medical Academy who work for you, right?"

"So what if it is? Are you trying to say that there's something wrong with our materials? Miss Yu, this isn't your Yuqian Sect. You should think carefully about the consequences of slandering a prince in the Shenhuang Yan Kingdom!"

Yu Lingyue smiled slightly, and then a storage bag appeared in her hand.

"Your Highness, you flatter me. It's just that I have a habit of keeping some raw materials when I'm making medicine, as a sample of the pill. I happened to keep a copy of the pill materials you sent me before."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible emotion flashed in Helian Lanfeng's eyes, and Yu Lingyue accurately caught this emotion, a smile appearing on her lips.

She immediately opened the storage bag, and scraps of several medicinal herbs floated in mid-air.

She then infused her spiritual energy into these scraps, and soon a wisp of black energy floated out from the herbs.

Upon seeing this, Mi Hua and Ling'er were both taken aback, and the guards who had rushed over also opened their eyes wide.

It's obvious at a glance that there's something wrong with these medicinal herbs.

Upon seeing the smile on Yu Lingyue's face, Helian Lanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained outwardly calm.

"What evidence do you have to prove that this document came from my Imperial Medical Academy? Isn't it possible that you found a problematic document to cover up your responsibility?"

At this moment, Helian Yao, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly walked over and said with a grin:

"That's impossible. The materials for refining the Royal Sister's detoxification pills are extremely precious. Even if our Yan Kingdom exhausted all its resources, we could only find so many."

"You're saying she deliberately found a copy and then tampered with it to cover up her crime? That's utter nonsense. Fifth Brother, you're so biased towards your own people, could there really be something wrong here?"

Upon seeing Helian Yao, he couldn't help but clench his fists. His older brother was indeed not going to miss the chance to stab him in the back, but given the current situation, he couldn't retaliate.

He could only respond with a forced smile:

"Third Brother, what are you saying? Even if someone is one of my men, I won't show favoritism if there's a problem. Someone, bring me the person who provided materials to the Imperial Hospital today!"

Not long after, a man who looked like a eunuch was brought over.

As soon as the man arrived, he immediately kowtowed to the group and begged for mercy.

He claimed that his negligence led to a problem with the preservation method, which allowed the evil spirits to enter the medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing this, Helian Lanfeng flew into a rage and roared as he threw the man into the death row.

The truth suddenly came out, and Helian Lanfeng humbly lowered his head and apologized to the girls.

His tone was unusually sincere, completely different from before.

But everyone present, except for Mihua, could see some clues.

The girls found his pretentious act disgusting, but they could only remain outwardly composed, as a complete breakdown in relations at this point would do no good for anyone...

Chapter Thirty: A Complex Family

After apologizing, Helian Lanfeng quickly left, citing other matters, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

As Qin Yangjun watched Helian Lanfeng leave, his expression darkened slightly. In fact, he had anticipated this situation; if he wanted to save Helian Yazhi, he would inevitably be drawn into it.

However, Qin Yangjun did not expect this guy to be so despicable.

If such a person were to become emperor, the Divine Radiance Yan Kingdom would likely descend into chaos.

At this moment, Helian Yao walked to Qin Yangjun's side, sighed deeply, and said:

"My brother isn't the type to give up easily. You're probably going to have a lot of trouble ahead, and I can help. How about..."

However, Qin Yangjun shook his head.

"No need."

After that, Qin Yangjun didn't say anything more and left with the women.

Watching Qin Yangjun's departing figure, Helian Yao sighed softly.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, and a figure dressed in a white robe appeared behind Helian Yao. As the person appeared, a spiritual energy rose around the two of them, and then their figures became illusory.

The next second, the two appeared in a luxuriously decorated room.

At this moment, the figure in white robes spoke.

"Your Highness, it is not a wise decision to get involved in the Princess's affairs at this time."

Helian Yao smiled, his hands behind his back.

"Indeed, but my younger brother is getting more and more unruly. What do you think will happen if he angers Qin Yangjun?"

That person remained silent for a long time.

"These are things we cannot fathom, Your Highness. Please do not make things difficult for us."

Helian Yao smiled, but didn't continue the topic. Instead, he changed the subject:

"My second brother is very simple-minded. I feel more at ease arguing with him, since it's all aboveboard. It's my younger brother who's causing me trouble. You know, playing games requires following the rules, and he's the one who hates following rules the most. As for my fourth brother..."

I already let him off the hook, but he's only gotten worse..."

As he spoke, Helian Yao's tone turned cold, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

"Your Highness, do you perhaps intend to..."

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in the man's eyes.

"Hey, don't overthink it. I'm not the fifth prince. How could a prince have his hands stained with his brothers' blood? Let's leave this matter aside for now. But you, what brings you here?"

The man lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Everything is as Your Highness predicted. The fish has taken the bait, and Her Highness the Eldest Princess has already begun investigating that matter."

"Oh, really...."

A glint of light flashed in Helian Yao's eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he waved his hand.

"Okay, I understand. Just proceed according to plan."

"Yes!"

The white-clad figure vanished instantly. After the figure disappeared, Helian Yao's gaze indeed drifted through the window into the distance, and he murmured to himself:

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, you can't blame me for this. It's because you have too many weaknesses..."

......................

Meanwhile, on the palace path, Changsun Youyou initiated the conversation, asking Yu Lingyue:

"You really are a genius! How did you know that the Fifth Prince was problematic?"

Yu Lingyue smiled and waved her hand.

"No, it's just that we were surprised by his sudden arrival, so we were on our guard. We just didn't expect him to dare to tamper with the medicinal herbs. You know, we were refining medicine to save his sister. Doesn't he care about the lives of his own family?"

At this moment, Qin Yangjun spoke up.

"That's how power struggles are in the imperial court. Some people will do anything to get that position."

At this moment, Ling'er, who was standing to the side, looked puzzled.

"But what does his sabotage of the alchemy have to do with that position?"

Qin Yangjun remained silent for a while. This was the Yan Kingdom's royal palace, and it was ultimately inappropriate to discuss these matters so openly here.

"This is related to the current situation in the court. Anyway, it can't be explained in a few words. In short, we should do our own thing and not get involved in the affairs of the dynasty. However, you can no longer go to the Imperial Hospital to refine medicines. The medicines there can no longer be used."

A question mark appeared above Changsun Youyou's head.

"What about the raw materials?"

Changsun Youyou also has her own alchemy cauldron. Although it is not of high grade, it is enough for her needs. The reason she went to the Imperial Hospital was because they provided the raw materials for alchemy. The raw materials for treating cold poison are very precious and she could not obtain them herself.

Qin Yangjun did indeed smile slightly.

After many twists and turns, the group arrived at the outside of a luxurious palace.

"So...you came here?"

Wearing a hat and surrounded by strange machinery, Helian Yazhi stared at the crowd expressionlessly.

"I can't think of anywhere else but here. And aren't you curious about how the medicine to heal you was made?"

Helian Yazhi pondered for a moment.

"In the end, it was my good-for-nothing brother who caused this mess. You've really had a hard time. Since that's the case, do whatever you want. I'll provide the materials and the venue."

However, at that moment, Yu Lingyue looked at Helian Yazhi with a half-smile.

"You just believe what we say?"

Helian Yazhi glanced at Yu Lingyue indifferently, then turned and walked towards her palace, her voice ringing out at the same time.

"I know what kind of person my brother is. I know all the things he's done, both openly and secretly..."

Helian Yazhi left, and looking at her retreating figure, a complex expression appeared in the eyes of the silent Ling'er.

"The relationship between these siblings is really quite delicate."

This relationship made Ling'er feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart. Fortunately, her sister was very good to her, and such a thing should not happen between the sisters.

Just then, a palace maid walked over with a smile.
