Zhu Di blocked Xu Miaoyi's way, his eyes were cold, "You don't believe me?" ”

"It's because you don't believe in my medical skills." Xu Miaoyi made eye contact with him, and did not let him go at all, "The county lord of Yong'an died of a postpartum blood collapse. The birth canal that I stitched with my own hands was also prescribed with mild drugs such as cleaning the uterine opening and removing stasis, how could she just say go. ”

You don't believe me, and I don't believe you. Let's look at the evidence.

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, his right hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, and he quietly turned sideways to get out of the way.

Xu Miaoyi ran a few steps forward, turned around and asked, "Why don't you go and have a look?" ”

The two have worked together and done a lot of things, there is already some tacit understanding, suspicion is suspicion, disagreement is disagreement, don't hurt the harmony at present, so as not to lose both, and you will still need each other in the future.

didn't expect Miaoyi to ask him to go with him, Zhu Di's cold eyes seemed to melt, "No need, I believe you, just go and see." ”

The sentence "I believe in you" resolved the Geng Jie in Xu Miaoyi's heart, she went to the pharmacy to see the medicine residue in the medicine jar, the medicine residue was still steaming, and she didn't either

disgusted with the bitterness and dirt, he directly played with the residue with his hands:

Codonopsis, Angelica, Honeysuckle, Purple Flower, Herbaceous Herb, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Panax notoginseng, Comfrey, Turtle Shell, Tangerine Peel, Sea Crab Cricket, Coix Seed......

They are all based on the drugs she prescribes, and even the dosage seems to be accurate.

She poured boiling water into the medicine jar, put it on the stove and boiled out the medicinal juice, tasted it herself, and even drank two sips!

There is nothing out of the ordinary. It doesn't seem to be a matter of medicine.

Could it be that God sees that the Lord of Yong'an County is in purgatory, and he can't see it, so help her get out of the sea of suffering? Xu Miaoyi sighed helplessly at the medicine cup, and returned to the delivery room, where Zhu Di was ordering someone to scrub the body of the county lord of Yong'an.

In the dormitory of the compartment, the nurse is breastfeeding the newborn prince. His birthday is his mother's memorial day.

Xu Miaoyi sat down suddenly, stunned.

Zhu Di said: "Do you want to see her for the last time?" Once the coffin is covered, it will never be seen. ”

Xu Miaoyi shook her head, "When people die, the lights go out, and what is in the house is just a shell, and it is no longer her." ”

Xu Miaoyi has seen too many corpses, and she has an indifferent coldness towards the body after the disappearance of life, which seems a little cold and ruthless.

But Zhu Di knew that she was not ruthless, but too sad. So he didn't say anything, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and even a plate of Miaoyi's favorite butter snails!

The county lord of Yong'an had already put it in a coffin and parked it in the lobby.

Xu Miaoyi asked, "Where will she be buried?" ”

Zhu Di said: "I don't know, it depends on what my father commands." However, she has no name in the harem, and it is estimated that she will not be able to be buried with the concubine cemetery of Jiming Mountain. ”

Xu Miaoyi said secretly: It is not uncommon for the lord of Yong'an to be buried in the imperial tomb as a concubine!

Xu Miaoyi asked, "What about the prince?" Will it be recognized by the emperor? ”

Zhu Di said: "There is a Goryeo tribute woman Han in the harem, who gave birth to Princess Hanshan and was named Concubine Han, with a gentle personality and few words, and her father said that he would hand over the prince to her to raise, and it was recorded as Concubine Han. ”

Sure enough, although Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply disgusted with the county lord of Yong'an because he was assassinated by the remnants of Zhang Shicheng on the Jinling city wall, he attached great importance to his children and still gave the child the title of a child.

In the pharmacy, Hu Shanwei carefully looked at the medicine jar that Xu Miaoyi had boiled out just now, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. A woman came silently and said behind her, "What are you doing?" ”

Seeing that it was the female official Li Taoniang, Hu Shanwei hurriedly saluted and said: "Li Siji, my wife passed away suddenly, I was a little relieved, so I came to the pharmacy to take a look." ”

Li Taoniang asked coldly, "Do you sympathize with Madame?" ”

Hu Shanwei was silent at first, and then said: "The deceased has passed away, and it is useless to say more." ”

Li Taoniang sneered: "You also confess, oh, come to mind, you are also from Suzhou, and you received the favor of Zhang Shicheng back then, so you have sympathy and compassion for your wife?" ”

Hu Shanwei said: "I am a female official of the Ming court, and I am only loyal to the Ming royal family and share the worries of the emperor and queen. ”

Suzhou people are really cunning, avoid answering questions head-on, and jump out in time to show loyalty. Li Taoniang asked, "Say, what did you find?" ”

Hu Shanwei looked at the medicine jar, "Even Miss Xu didn't notice anything unusual, of course her subordinates found nothing." It's just that since his subordinates are in charge of the meals and medicines imported by the lady, they must be conscientious and not let go of any detail. ”

Li Taoniang suddenly asked, "How many such medicine jars are there in Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake?" ”

Hu Shanwei replied fluently, "The utensils used in Xiaozhu are all from the people, the tea sets are burned in the Suzhou folk kiln, and the crude pottery such as medicine jars are all bought in a Song Ji grocery store in Jinling City, and there are fifteen of the new and old together, this is only a batch just bought last autumn, a total of five, one has been burned and scrapped, crossed out in the account book, and there are four." ”

Li Taoniang asked: "After playing the one in your hand, do you still plan to count the remaining three?" ”

Hearing Li Taoniang's repeated questions, Hu Shanwei instinctively felt that something was wrong, originally she saw Xu Miaoyi sullen and had doubts about her medical skills, so she came to the pharmacy to see if she could find something. But the tense atmosphere now seems to prove that Xu Miaoyi's suspicions are not groundless.

Now is not the time to fight hard, Hu Shanwei is smart and clever, and hurriedly said: "This is exactly what I mean - this errand has been completed, and I am about to take the prince back to the palace, and my subordinates will count the utensils and sundries so that they can be handed over to the stewards who took over." ”

Li Taoniang stared at her tightly and did not speak.

Hu Shanwei kept his composure and asked, "Li Siji, what is wrong with his subordinates doing this?" ”

Li Taoniang said: "Hu Shanwei, you are a very smart woman. I was stupid by nature, I didn't know how to slap horses, I couldn't see people's likables, I couldn't see the sinister hearts of people, and sometimes people were fighting so much that they were about to see blood, but I was still kept in the dark and unconscious. But many smart women like you in the palace died unexplained, or offended people and left the palace gloomily. And I'm still there, trusted by the queen, do you know why? ”

Hu Shanwei felt a chill down his spine, "Li Siji is loyal, he has no distractions, and his subordinates are ashamed of themselves, please ask Li Siji for more advice." ”

Li Taoniang said lightly: "You don't have to pat me on the back, it doesn't work, and I don't know how to guide others." I was stupid and tight, almost born 'deaf and dumb', and I did whatever the higher authorities asked me to do, never asking why. And you are a seven-pronged delicate mind, you need to put some effort into pretending to be deaf and dumb, and you need to control your curiosity and ask why. Hu Shanwei, if I told you that the medicine jar was used by me, and it had sunk to the bottom of the lake at this time, would you tell Miss Xu about it? ”

Li Taoniang's words are tantamount to admitting that she Li Dai Taozhuang changed the medicine of the county lord of Yong'an! Xu Miaoyi's suspicion was right, the county lord did die unexpectedly!

Sue sù Xu Miaoyi?

Hu Shanwei is at war with heaven and man at this moment. Li Taoniang is the oldest palace person, she will not take matters into her own hands to murder the county lord, it must be the instigation of the person above - and that person is either the emperor or the queen's mother.

The tragedy caused by Zhang Shicheng's remnants in the city wall, Hu Shanwei also heard a little. The royal family did not allow the lord of Yong'an to continue to live in the world, so he simply went to his mother and left his son, completely cutting off the "bane".

The lord of Yong'an will definitely die.

Li Taoniang is the executor.

And I, I, am either an accomplice in covering up this assassination attempt, or I, like the Lord of Yong'an, am a corpse that can never speak.

Under the monarchy, everyone is an ant, even Xu Miaoyi is no exception!

No! I can't sue Xu Miaoyi! Otherwise, put her in danger!

Miaoyi's explosive temper, once she knows about it, the consequences are unimaginable!

Hu Shanwei made the most difficult decision in her life, she raised her head, looked directly at Li Taoniang's coercive gaze, and said: "The subordinates will indicate in the account book that the medicine jar at the bottom of the lake has been broken. ”

Li Taoniang nodded slowly, "Smart people can understand a little, and I don't need to say anything more." Clean up and go back to the palace tomorrow, a lot of similar things will happen in the future. Remember to rot in your stomach, don't say anything, don't mention it, and bring these secrets into the coffin, this is your loyalty. ”

Hu Shanwei nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Li Siji." ”

Hu Shanwei was busy until the middle of the night, and the accounts were made, and everything was handed over clearly. She wrote her name in the ledger and stamped the letter.

The palace people took warm water, and Hu Shanwei soaked his hands in water to wash off the ink on his hands. She felt that her hands were so dirty, so she washed them for a long, long time, and rubbed her hands with a lot of fragrant pancreas and pollen.

But no matter how much she scrubbed, no matter how many basins of water she used, when she fell asleep, she smelled her hands, and she always felt a smell of blood that could not be washed.

Perhaps this is the smell of sin, imprinted deep in the soul and forever lingering.

The prince was escorted back to the palace by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and raised under the name of Concubine Han, who was born as a tribute girl in Goryeo, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave the name "Zhu Zhi". Hu Shanwei has made a meritorious contribution and will wait to be promoted to the sixth grade Sizheng, and he is still on duty in the Shangshi Bureau.

The lord of Yong'an was finally cremated, and the ashes were stored in Jiming Temple, and the tablet in front of the columbarium did not even write his real name, just an unfamiliar name: Xinnu Chanjuan.

There is a five-story pagoda in Jiming Temple, which is dedicated to the columbarium that is stored, Xu Miaoyi looked for a long time before she found the "letter girl Chanjuan".

The dead are at their mercy, and they can't even call the shots.

Xu Miaoyi looked around at no one, and quickly replaced the urn in the basket with the enshrined one, the fake ash altar was just ordinary grass and wood ashes, but it looked similar to human ashes, and no one would pursue this.

The lord of Yong'an has been squeezed of all his value, abandoned and forgotten by everyone.

Xu Miaoyi scattered the ashes of the county lord of Yong'an into the Yangtze River, and the river flowed eastward, passing through her hometown of Suzhou City, which can be regarded as a kind of soul returning to her hometown.

Xu Miaoyi deceived herself and thought, anyway, apart from this, she really couldn't think of what else she could do for the county lord of Yong'an.

"Miaoyi, you-"

Yan Wang Zhu Di came out of nowhere, staring at the empty urn in her hand, as if she was familiar with it, as if it was the one that buried the lord of Yong'an.

Bang dang!

Xu Miaoyi simply smashed the ash altar on the reef on the shore, destroyed the corpse, and planned to die without admitting it.

Zhu Di was stunned and said, "I won't say it." ”
