The cell of Dali Temple is the same as before, even if the candle is lit, it is very dark, the air is damp, with a putrid smell, walking inside, with the cold of life, straight into the cracks of the bones, stirring people's hearts.

Su Li didn't expect that after she returned to Beijing, she would enter Dali Temple one after another, and every time it was because of Su Bangyue.

"Ahem!"

Itchy throats, uncontrollable coughing, echoes can even be heard in the silence and emptiness of the cell.

One hand crossed her waist and gently lifted her off the ground, and the other hand reached between her foreheads, and the hot palm covered the equally hot skin, making people more and more irritable.

Su Li frowned and patted Chu Huai'an's hand away: "I'm fine!" ”

She said that it was okay, but her tone was soft, weak and tight, and it was clearly very troublesome.

"The imperial doctor will come in a while, don't speak!" Chu Huai'an ordered, and directly hugged Su Li horizontally without saying anything.

The body was cold, the stove was hot, and the limbs were weak and weak, Su Li struggled twice, and he couldn't break free and went with him, his head was dizzy and leaned on his chest, and his mind was floating in the scorching waves.

When she arrived at the cell, Su Li was completely unconscious, her originally pale face was burned red, and the breath she exhaled was like a fire, Rao is Chu Huaian didn't understand medical science, and she also knew that her current situation was very bad.

After all, the burns on her body have not healed, and her body is still very weak.

"Where's the Imperial Doctor?"

Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li and asked sharply, anxious in his heart, his voice was wrapped in anger, and his chest vibrate, which made Su Li very uncomfortable, snorted dissatisfiedly, stretched out his hand to refuse, and wanted to escape.

Chu Huai'an pressed her shoulders and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, the imperial doctor will come in a while." ”

In fact, the imperial doctor will not come at all, although the condition of Su Bangyue and the fetus in her womb is not so critical, but the imperial doctor of the entire Tai Hospital must be in the palace of Weichen to wait in case there is any accident.

It burned until dawn, when a petite figure in a black cloak was guided by the jailer to the cell, and the cell door opened, and the cloak was removed, revealing Yue Yan's anxious face.

"How's A-Li?"

Yue Yan asked and knelt down in front of Su Li, touched her forehead, grabbed her wrist to check her pulse, and twisted her brows into hemp rope: "Why is it burned like this?" ”

After saying that, his eyes fell on the burn scar.

"Her face ......"

"Accidentally burned." Chu Huai'an said vaguely, and Yue Yan immediately thought of the fire that burned after Zhao'an Tower was struck by lightning not long ago.

"She's always such a deadly nonsense!" Yue Yan said in a hoarse voice, gritted her teeth and didn't cry, she opened Su Li's sleeves and skirt to check the injuries on her body, and saw that her knees were bruised and swollen, and tears poured out all of a sudden.

"Didn't Master Hou promise that I would take good care of her that day? Why did she still get hurt like this? Yue Yan asked crying, distressed.

She originally thought that after leaving the war at the border pass, Su Li would be able to live a better life and suffer less injuries after returning to Beijing, but she didn't expect that now she would be injured more than in the border pass.

The injuries he suffered at the border pass were to defend against foreign invaders, but what is he doing here?

Chu Huaian hugged Su Li tightly, and his throat was so choked that he couldn't say a word.

He couldn't answer Yue Yan, how could he repeatedly let this woman hurt under his nose, and he didn't know what he had to do to protect her.

"She can't burn like this, I'll go out immediately to pick up the medicine and boil it for people to send in, I'm tired of the Hou Ye asking the jailer for some hot water, help Ah Li wipe her body and dissipate heat, be careful not to touch the wound, the environment in the prison is too bad, I must let her out of here as soon as possible!"

Yue Yan said and stood up, put on her hat and walked out, and when she walked to the door, she looked back at Chu Huai'an, her face was shrouded in shadows, and Chu Huai'an only heard her soft voice: "Does Master Hou think that Ah Li is the one who plotted to kill the concubine and the imperial heir?" ”

"It's not!"

"Then does Master Hou know who harmed her?"

“……”

Chu Huai'an didn't answer immediately, the answer that was about to come out was blocked in his throat, and his throat hurt like a tear.

Yue Yan waited for a moment without waiting for an answer, and without any further entanglement, he put on his cloak and strode away.

The cell fell silent, and Chu Huaian waited for a while and asked the jailer for hot water.

Although Su Li was imprisoned for the felony of murdering the emperor's heir, the case had not yet been convicted, and Chu Huai'an's request was still not agreed to the jailer, and quickly sent hot water.

Chu Huai'an twisted the handkerchief to help Su Li wipe his body, he had never done this, he was clumsy to do it, and it took a while to find some way out and become more proficient.

Su Li was burned in a daze, and she didn't know what was happening, her nose was blocked, and her breathing was so heavy that it seemed like a boulder was pressed on her chest, Chu Huaian raised her hand and wanted to untie the two buckles to help her smooth her breathing, and as soon as her hand touched her collar, Su Li suddenly opened her eyes.

It burned badly, her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were no longer cold, glowing with water, revealing the unique weakness of her illness.

"I'll help you unbutton a little."

Chu Huai'an explained, his fingertips opened the two buckles in a very measured manner, and did not touch the skin on her chest.

Su Li blinked, raised her hand and pressed her arm against her eyes, as if she was disturbed by the dim candle flame, Chu Huai'an took off her robe and covered her, and let Su Li's head rest on her lap, using her body to block the light for Su Li.

"Sleep."

He was rare to be thoughtful and gentle, Su Li thought that many years ago, she mentioned that reading at night was too hurtful to her eyes, so this person sent someone to search for some methods, and personally boiled a lantern cover from pigskin for herself, covered with a lampshade, and the candlelight softened and was very translucent, which would not affect reading at all.

That was the first time Chu Huai'an gave Su Li a gift, and Su Li still remembered that there was a fat pig painted on the pigskin lantern, and the little pig had a small 'pear' word written on her forehead, and he deliberately teased her like a pig.

Seeing the lantern, Su Li scolded him angrily for a long time, but he kept the lantern at the head of the bed for many years, even if it was broken in the back, he was reluctant to throw it away.

She remembered that he gave her a little bit of goodness, even if she went through so many hardships later, she never erased it from the bottom of her heart.

"Master Hou."

Su Li whispered, her brain was still drowsy and poured, but her mind was sober.

"I'm here."

Chu Huai'an replied, pulled down his robe, and put a hot handkerchief on Su Li's forehead.

"Last palace banquet, do you remember that the concubine gave me a white hosta?" Su Li asked, putting his hand down and looking up at him, he pursed his lips, his handsome face cast a large shadow by the dim candle flame.

"Your Majesty looked at the hairpin on my head several times that day, and later asked me about the origin of the hairpin, although I don't know what the hairpin has to say, but I also know that it is probably not a vulgar thing, and then on the picture of the peace of mother and child, I did move a little bit."

After Su Li said this, Chu Huai'an's body was obviously tense and stiffened, Su Li pretended not to be aware and continued: "I deliberately painted the white hosta, I think you still remember that night Your Majesty went to the palace of the concubine to sit for a while and then left, if I guessed correctly, Your Majesty will leave because of the hosta." ”

Su Li said, sat up with her body propped up, and leaned against the grass pile on the side to look at him despite Chu Huai'an's obstruction.

"I painted that hosta on the painting, my mind is indeed not pure, in my opinion, she harmed the second sister, Mr. and He'er, there is always some price, I didn't want to harm the child in her womb, but there is that painting, if she still has a trace of conscience, she will not be at peace day and night, I did not poison the painting, but I used that painting to force her to take this dangerous step."

Su Li licked her lips and laughed as she spoke, her flushed face was like the cowardice of her youth, Chu Huai'an's hand hanging down at her side clenched, and the strength was so strong that the joints turned white, and the bones clicked low.

"I thought she would find a clever way to kill people with a knife, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless that she could even use the child in her belly." Speaking of this, Su Li's eyes flashed with a strange light, and there was a kind of joy that the revenge would finally be avenged: "She is afraid that I will harm her, so she must get rid of my hidden danger first, but this time she was smart and was mistaken by ...... smart"

How big a crime is it to murder the emperor's heir, and how confident is Su Bangyue to dare to risk his only reliance in the harem?

After saying the words accumulated in her heart, Su Li's strength was withdrawn, and cold sweat broke out on her back, she reached out and pushed Chu Huai'an's robe aside, holding her arms and curling them into a ball.

"I hurt the person that Hou Ye protected in my heart, and now I deserve this crime, and Hou Ye doesn't have to feel guilty about me in the future."

She turned her back to Chu Huai'an, not seeing the shock on his face and the injury in his eyes.

After returning to Beijing, she relied on her lonely courage, no matter what kind of danger there was, she would never retreat, even if she was bruised, she had a decision and plan in her heart, no matter what he said or did, she would not change.

The heart in her chest had built a high wall in the gossip of five years ago, and it would never let go of him again.

"If you tell me clearly, I don't have to ...... won't help you. ”

Chu Huai'an whispered, his chest was sore and painful, and he wanted Su Li to turn his head to look at him, but he raised his hand in the air but didn't know how to put it down, what kind of posture to touch.

"I know what it's like to really like someone, if I told Hou Ye in advance that I was going to hurt her, Hou Ye should be more willing to be stabbed twice by me to relieve his hatred."

“……”

Chu Huai'an was silent, and every word Su Li said poked at the bottom of his heart, so that he couldn't say a word to refute it.

"Master Hou wants to love her and protect her, I won't stop her, but there are some debts, since she owes them, no one else can pay them for her!"

After saying the last sentence, Su Li completely lost her strength, relaxed her body and lay down, obviously too weak to speak, but like a shell, she used her hard shell to prevent others from approaching.

If she doesn't say anything about the white hosta, no one will know that she has moved her hands and feet, but she just wants to put these things in front of Chu Huai'an and explain them clearly, and she has to divide those vague mud into pieces.

He wants to protect Su Bangyue, she doesn't stop her, and she no longer has the slightest involvement with him, and she will return all the good compensation he gave.

The current situation is very clear, Su Li is the first suspect in the murder of the emperor's heir, and if she wants to clear her name, she must find out the real person behind the poison, and if Chu Huaian wants to protect Su Bangyue, he can only help Su Bangyue clean up, impose the charge on Su Li's head, and let Su Li be an unjust ghost.

Su Li had already decided in her heart that Chu Huai'an would choose Su Wanyue, so she said what she just said and put everything on the bright side.

She didn't expect anything from him, so she cut off her own way first.

They owe each other nothing, and it's his freedom to choose what he wants.

The dark and cold and wet cell was divided into two worlds by Su Li without authorization, I don't know how long it took, Su Li coughed again, Chu Huai'an asked the jailer to change the basin of hot water, picked up the robe that Su Li threw aside and covered her again, felt that her body was a little cold, gently hugged the person into his arms, and used his body temperature to warm her.

At dawn the next day, Zhang De was ordered to pick up Chu Huai'an from prison, and he came with Yue Yan, who asked to come to the prison to take care of Su Li.

Yue Yan has been kneeling outside the door of Chu Lingzhao's dormitory since the second half of the night, wanting to take Su Li to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, but she is not a princess with royal orthodox blood, Chu Lingzhao will not spoil her, she can only take a step back and take the medicinal herbs to the prison to treat Su Li.

Because of last night's conversation, Yue Yan didn't look at Chu Huai'an the whole time, only lowered his head, and after entering the cell, he immediately took a bottle of medicinal juice and fed it to Su Li.

Chu Huai'an looked at the door for a while, and promised: "I will return her innocence!" ”

He used the self-title, but did not use Ben Hou, Yue Yan's movements paused, didn't say anything, lifted Su Li's sleeve and carefully disinfected her wound.

Chu Huai'an followed Zhang De out of the cell, Zhang De saw his gloomy face, and couldn't help but reconcile: "Master Hou, Your Majesty is not really angry with you, just let you calm down, after all, you trespassed on the imperial front last night, if this falls on someone else's head, it will be a big crime to lose your head......"

"Are the concubines and the imperial heirs in their womb okay?"

"Yesterday, the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital took turns to keep watch all night, and finally saved the day, this morning the concubine Niangniang has woken up, but her body is still very weak, and she fell asleep without saying a few words, and all the adults in the Tai Hospital are still guarding the Weichen Palace!"

Zhang De reported the situation in the palace, Chu Huai'an walked very fast, got into the carriage from the palace and asked, "Where are the two people arrested by Jing Zhaoyin yesterday?" ”

"As for the internal affairs supervisor, after the next court today, His Majesty will personally interrogate him."

"What about the painting? Where is it now? ”

"That painting is an important evidence, Your Majesty asked someone to keep it, if the Hou Ye wants to see it, he has to ask His Majesty for permission to complete it." Zhang De climbed into the carriage and replied, the old arms and legs were a little tired and a little out of breath after walking like this.

Chu Huai'an leaned against the wall of the carriage and did not speak, Zhang De gasped for a while, noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and closed his mouth and pretended to be transparent.

All the way back to the palace, Chu Huai'an led Zhang De to go straight to the internal affairs supervisor together, and wanted to interrogate the father and son in the pharmacy first, but halfway through, he suddenly saw the palace people running in a panic, and grabbed a person casually: "What are you running, what happened?" ”

"Testimonial...... The forensic forensic is gone, and a lot of things are burned! ”

The palace man replied with a split throat, the person was already frightened, Zhang De heard it, patted his thigh and wailed: "These cheap hooves, don't you want your head, you actually let the evidence go away!" ”

Halfway through speaking, Zhang De's old face turned white, and he reminded in disbelief: "Oh no! Marquis...... Master Hou, that painting is in the evidence forensics! ”

Chu Huai'an's eyes were cold, he turned around and strode towards the evidence, Zhang De chased behind with two small short legs, only to feel that this year was not going well, and everything was rushing together.

The evidence is generally placed in extremely important files, and the important evidence of the case involved at that time is stored along with the files, and there will be special personnel to take care of them on weekdays.

During the day today, the palace people came in as usual to clean the house, counted the files and the number of evidence, and confirmed that there was no doubt that the harem people left, but not long after, they smelled the smell of burning firewood, pushed open the door and were blocked by the choking smoke, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly went out to call someone to extinguish the fire.

After pouring a few basins of water, everyone realized that the fire was not big, only a little tent and a calligraphy and painting were burned.

The calligraphy and painting is nothing else, it is the picture of the mother and son who murdered Su Guifei and the imperial heir in the womb who were found yesterday.

When a few basins of water were splashed, the half-burned calligraphy and paintings were wet, and they would break if they were gently pulled.

The palace people were frightened, and they were racking their brains to think about how to make up for it, and Chu Huai'an had already strode into the evidence forensics.

"Meet Master Hou!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, all of them bowing their heads, for fear that one of them would accidentally have their heads removed.

"How could the forensic forensic suddenly catch fire? Where was the first person to spot the fire? Chu Huai'an asked coldly, seeing that the scroll was half burned and soaked with water, and his jaw was as tight as a sharp blade.

"Back to ...... Back to the Hou Ye, is it...... It was discovered by minions! ”

A thin eunuch crawled out trembling, he was so frightened that he couldn't do it, I don't know if he had urinated or been splashed, most of his clothes were wet, and his clothes were also worn crookedly.

"Think about it, what was so strange about this place?"

"Minions...... The servant had just finished counting the things in the house, and then went to pour dirty water to clean the rags, but when he came back, he saw black smoke coming out of the house...... When a fire broke out, the minions hurriedly called someone to extinguish the fire. ”

The eunuch stammered, his body trembling like chaff, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.

As he spoke, Chu Huai'an's eyes quickly scanned the room, the evidence was very large, and there were several compartments inside, neatly arranged with wooden frames, the wooden shelves were full of top-secret files of previous dynasties, and the scope of splashing water was only in the square inch of the right turn of the door, and only half of the calligraphy and paintings were burned.

"Only half of the calligraphy and paintings were burned in total, this fire, you can put out it with anything you want, why do you want to bluff?" Chu Huai'an questioned, and the eunuch was so frightened that the whole person almost stuck to the ground, and cried loudly: "The slave is wronged!" Master Hou, the slave is wronged! When the slave pushed the door in, the house was full of smoke, and he couldn't see the situation in the house clearly. ”

The eunuch shouted so loudly that his voice was broken, and his tone was anxious, for fear that he would be dragged out and beheaded by Chu Huai'an if he said a word slowly.

In this case, he doesn't seem to be telling a lie.

Chu Huai'an pursed his lips and thought about it, took a step around the room, and suddenly saw a bamboo tube rolling down from the corner of a bookshelf.

The bamboo tube is the size of a baby's fist, with black marks left by burning on the edges, seven or eight inches long, and there is still unburned fuel in it, which is a bit like the large male yellow smoke bomb bought to smoke insects and snakes during the Chung Yeung Festival.

Someone deliberately burned the picture of the safety of the mother and child, but used smoke bombs to warn people to put out the fire? Why?

Chu Huai'an was puzzled, and the guards with knives in front of the palace rushed over with people: "The evidence is on fire, Your Majesty asked everyone to go to the imperial study to wait for trial!" ”

When the words fell, the palace people, who were already frightened, were dragged to the imperial study by the Royal Forest Army, and Chu Huai'an took the bamboo tube and carried the wet picture scroll over together.

Chu Lingzhao had just come down from the court, and when he was in the court, he was noisy by a group of old-fashioned people who said that they would arrest the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible and severely punish the person who murdered the emperor's heir.

Chu Lingzhao originally wanted to ask Zhao Hanzhuo about the progress of the case, but he left him behind, and after listening to Chu Huai'an's words, he asked him to hand over the two pieces of evidence to Zhao Hanzhuo for inspection.

Zhao Hanzhuo has rich experience in handling cases in the end, and when he looked at the bamboo tube, he knew that it was a smoke bomb deliberately put by someone, the purpose was to make people mistakenly think that the fire was very big, and when the eunuch found out that the fire was on fire, the arsonist was very likely to be in the house, but he was not seen by the cover of the smoke, and when the eunuch went to call someone to put out the fire, the arsonist fled in a grand manner.

After reading the bamboo tube, and then looking at the painting scroll with only half left, Zhao Hanzhuo frowned slightly.

The reason why this painting was not burned is because it is not burned into a roll, and now it is wet with water, and the good rice paper is all glued together, and if you want to open the paper, it will inevitably be damaged and cannot be restored.

"Your Majesty, can someone bring in a bucket of water?"

"Accurate!"

The palace people quickly carried a large bucket of water to the imperial study, and Zhao Hanzhuo put the remaining half of the scroll into the water, gently untied the rope tied to it, and then the buoyancy of the water made the scroll unfold little by little.

Halfway through the painting, a few wisps of purple-red that appeared to be paint were fainted.

"Strange."

Zhao Hanzhuo muttered, and touched the paper again.

"What did Aiqing find?"

Chu Lingzhao cheered up and asked, Zhao Hanzhuo unfolded all the remaining scrolls, and the purple red in the water became more and more.

"Your Majesty, the original ink of this painting is added with paraffin, and the ink is dry, as long as the painting paper is not damaged, it can be preserved for thousands of years, even if it accidentally dripped water on it, the pen and ink will not be destroyed and smudged, but Fang Caichen soaked the painting in water, and the painting was soaked with a purple-red unknown object, it should be that after the painting was completed, someone used this object as ink, and described it again on this painting!"

"Imperial Doctor Xuangao!"

Chu Lingzhao ordered, and after a while, Imperial Physician Gao came running with the medicine box on his back: "Minister...... Minister......"

Chu Huai'an couldn't stand his slow panting, so he grabbed Imperial Doctor Gao's collar and carried the person to the bucket: "Shut up, check what the purple red in the water is!" ”

"Okay, please wait a moment, Your Majesty!"

Doctor Gao suppressed his breath and said, put down the medicine box, and asked someone to take a teacup, scoop a glass of water from the bucket, and sprinkle some white powder into it.

As soon as the white powder entered, the water immediately boiled and bubbled, and after a while, a very faint and delicate fragrance spread.

Imperial Physician Gao raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this thing is the juice pounded by purple weaving, yesterday the lower official heard that his colleagues from the Tai Hospital had inspected this painting, so he tried to sprinkle a handful of Wushi powder into it, and the smell was musk." ”

"So, the purple weaving contained in the painting is painted after it is finished?"

"Yes." Zhao Hanzhuo replied, hesitated for a moment and added: "Since the painter knows that the ink painting is preserved with paraffin, if you want to use purple weaving, it can be directly mixed in the ink at the beginning, so that it is difficult for the people of the Internal Affairs Palace to check it." The minister thought that Miss Su really wanted to murder the emperor's heir, and there was no need to do it again, I am afraid that the purple weaving juice on this painting was painted by others. ”

Zhao Hanzhuo has always been rarely close to people in the court, let alone favoring someone in anything, and now it is very difficult to say such a sentence for Su Li.

Chu Lingzhao glanced at him meaningfully, and followed his train of thought and said: "If according to what Aiqing said, there was no problem with this painting at the beginning, and it was handed over to Ai Fei by me to hang it in the Weichen Palace, who would be able to do something on that painting?" ”

Who else?

This suspicious scope has actually shrunk very little, but Zhao Hanzhuo did not assert it, and bowed: "The minister doesn't dare to speculate, and he needs to continue to investigate." ”

"What do you think?"

Chu Lingzhao looked at Chu Huai'an and asked, Chu Huai'an looked at the bucket of water that turned purple-red with a gloomy expression, and said with a stiff face: "The minister also thought that there was someone else who was working on the painting, but today's evidence is strange, as if someone deliberately wanted to send the clues on this painting to our eyes, the minister is worried that this case is not simple, I am afraid that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!" ”

He and Zhao Hanzhuo's analysis was very reasonable, Chu Lingzhao nodded, and asked Zhao Hanzhuo to continue to be responsible for the advancement of the case, and Chu Huaian assisted, so as not to make it inconvenient for Zhao Hanzhuo to investigate the case in the harem as a foreign minister.

The two received the order and left on their own, and Imperial Physician Gao was left alone.

Chu Lingzhao didn't rush to speak, he quietly looked at the unfinished twists and turns, Imperial Doctor Gao was worried, and recently this heart couldn't stay in his chest very well.

"Your Majesty can ...... But what do you have to ask the minister? ”

"I recently found out that Aiqing seems to have a very good relationship with Jinzhi, Aiqing and Jinzhi are more than ten years apart, how come I don't know that Aiqing and Jinzhi have the same interests and hobbies?"

Chu Lingzhao said faintly, raised his hand and drew a circle on the fold, and a cold sweat suddenly fell on Doctor Gao's chubby face: "Hou Ye likes to make friends, and on weekdays, Mrs. Zhaoling has a headache and brain fever, so the minister went to the house to take a look, and after going back and forth, Hou Ye and the minister had some friendship." ”

Mrs. Zhaoling is the edict of the Chu Liu clan after the death of the old marquis.

"Really?" Chu Lingzhao asked rhetorically, and just as Imperial Physician Gao was about to nod, Chu Lingzhao suddenly put down the red pen and threw the fold in his hand in front of Imperial Physician Gao.

The fold was not heavy, and it made a slight sound after it landed, but Imperial Doctor Gao was so frightened that he trembled, and when he picked up the fold, his whole soul was almost scared away.

This fold is nothing else, it is his visit record in Tai Hospital and the record of going to Xiaoyao Houfu in the past few years.

There were more than a dozen places circled by Chu Lingzhao with a cinnabar pen, and the two corresponded to the time when he went to see Su Wanyue.

"Why didn't I know that my beloved concubine and Lady Zhaoling had such a tacit understanding even when she was sick?"

Although this is not ironclad evidence, he is not allowed to quibble here.

Imperial Physician Gao hurriedly kowtowed: "Please forgive your majesty!" Minister...... The minister and the marquis definitely did not plot anything bad! ”

Let's get rid of the most important point first, Imperial Doctor Gao's head, which can't pretend to be anything on weekdays, can only think of Su Li at such a critical juncture, and immediately insisted: "Hou Ye likes Miss Su San, Miss Su asked Hou Ye to take care of the concubine Niangniang before leaving Beijing, and the Hou Ye can't often enter the palace because of his identity, so he asked the minister to be more careful when helping the concubine Niangniang to recuperate!" ”

"According to Aiqing's words, I really have deep affection for the third lady of the Su family."

Chu Lingzhao said with a smile, with a transparency in his tone, which made Imperial Doctor Gao's scalp numb, and the hairs on his body stood upside down: "What the minister said is true, Your Majesty doesn't believe that you can check the prescriptions issued by the minister over the years." ”

Imperial Doctor Gao insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and he would not admit anything else, since Chu Lingzhao would leave him to speak today, he would naturally have already let people test those prescriptions.

Fangzi is indeed more attentive than other concubines, if it is an extremely difficult medicine to eat, then find a way to add some licorice to taste, if it is a medicine to nourish the body, you must add two more flavors to nourish the beauty and detoxify, it will only be beneficial to the body, and it will not be harmful.

"Gao Dahai, I remember the last time you said that you were a teacher of Yue Zhao, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has a great memory!" Doctor Gao was sweating, and Chu Lingzhao smiled: "You have learned eighty percent of Yue Zhao's medical skills, how come you haven't learned eighty percent of his style?" ”

“…… Foolishness! ”

Imperial Physician Gao replied with a stiff old face, he couldn't tell what Chu Lingzhao meant by this, could it be that he didn't have the backbone to remove himself from the Tai Hospital and return to his hometown?

Just thinking about it, Chu Lingzhao had already cut to the next topic: "The concubine and the child in the womb have been saved from danger, I want to know, after the child is born, will it be damaged?" ”

"The concubine is the heir of the emperor in her belly, and she has the emperor's grace and blessing......" Imperial Doctor Gao casually brought out those sycophant official words, Chu Lingzhao's face was slightly gloomy: "Gao Dahai, I want to listen to the truth!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the fetus in the womb has not yet taken shape, and it has been affected by the shock in the mother's womb, which is quite affected, even if it is born smoothly, I am afraid it will ...... There will be congenital hidden diseases! ”

If these words had been put before, even if it was a knife to his neck, Gao Dahai would never say it, but Chu Lingzhao had just lost his book in front of him, how could he dare to lie?

"For example, what are the hidden diseases?"

"Your Majesty is just saying that it is a possibility, not necessarily ......" Imperial Doctor Gao still wanted to die and struggle, but was gouged out by Chu Lingzhao's eye knife, and immediately became honest: "There may be defects in the facial features and limbs, or it is possible that the congenital intelligence is not developed enough and becomes an idiot." ”

Idiot!

In this palace compound, if you are born an idiot, even if you have no worries about food and clothing all your life, you can only become a joke of the world.

Chu Lingzhao felt that this thing was very ridiculous, almost ridiculous.

In the palace protected by the Imperial Guards, under his eyelids, he, as an emperor, can't even protect a child who has not yet taken shape!

He felt ridiculous in his heart, and he did laugh out loud: "Hehe, it seems that I have always been too soft-hearted!" ”

Grunt!

Imperial Physician Gao was so frightened by Chu Lingzhao's laughter that he swallowed his saliva, he wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to speak, he could only watch in horror as the young emperor faded away from his former peace and closeness, revealing the coldness and ruthlessness of the emperor in his bones!

……

At night, Chu Huai'an sat in the dark small cell of the internal affairs superintendent, looking coldly at the father and son who had just been tied to the torture rack and had just undergone a round of punishment.

At first, the young man would still scold and scream, but now his stubborn little head has drooped down and become dying.

He didn't know what every word he said that night, but now he has deeply realized it.

What he says will push himself and others into the purgatory of endless horror!

However, Rao was like this, and what he muttered in his mouth was still the same sentence: "On the night of the second day of junior high school, she wore a cloak, covered most of her face, and carried a lantern to buy purple weaving. ”

Chu Huai'an raised his hand to stop the torturer, he got up and walked in front of the young man, and looked at the young man at eye level: "On the night of the second year of junior high school, I have been sitting on the wall of the girl's courtyard you said, whether she went out that night or not, I know better than anyone else, I only ask you, who taught you these words?" ”

The young man's consciousness was no longer so clear, he didn't hear what Chu Huai'an said at all, and continued to murmur, and the middle-aged man next to him looked at it, with tears in his eyes, but because his tongue was injured, he could only make a whining sound.

They are all honest people, and they never thought that they would be involved in such a shocking case, nor did they expect to be tortured to extract confessions.

Chu Huai'an took a step back, stood between the two, and raised his voice slightly: "Ben Hou heard that your family also has a daughter, who entered the palace at the age of seven and became a palace maid, she has always been well-behaved and obedient, and sent all the money in the palace out of the palace to subsidize the family, and the pharmacy was also opened with the money she saved." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Hearing Chu Huai'an mention his daughter, the man cried even more fiercely, and the young man also cheered up again, staring at Chu Huai'an like a hungry wolf, his eyes were glowing, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

"You conspire with others to murder the emperor's heir, it is an unforgivable sin, if you still die and do not repent, and you want to frame others, even if this marquis has the heart, he will not be able to protect the person you have to protect with all your life."

"Bastard! My sister doesn't know anything! You are not allowed to touch her! ”

After all, the young man is still inexperienced, and he can't hide it when he is so provoked by Chu Huai'an, he roars at Chu Huai'an like a little wolf dog, Chu Huai'an's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to clasp his chin: "Your sister is innocent, and the person framed by you is not innocent and should die?" I advise you to take advantage of Ben Hou's patience to quickly tell everything you know, otherwise the king of heaven will not be able to save her by then! ”

The young man stared at Chu Huai'an deadly, his eyes were full of ruthlessness that he didn't admit defeat, and he didn't seem to believe what Chu Huai'an just said at all.

The two were frozen, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Hanzhuo walked in from the outside with a straight face: "The person has been found, under an abandoned well in the cold palace, the body has decomposed." ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Lord Zhao, you came in a timely manner!

Both the boy and the man were shocked by Zhao Hanzhuo's words, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

After a while, the boy came back to his senses first, struggled with all his might, and made the chains on the shelf rattle: "Who? Who do you say died? Whose body is decomposed? You make it clear to me! ”

Zhao Hanzhuo didn't speak, raised his hand and handed a dirty purse to the young man, the purse had just been untied from the corpse, and it still exuded a strong disgusting smell of corpses.

The young man remained motionless as if he had been pointed, he looked at the purse in a daze, and suddenly went crazy: "Ahhhh Swindler! You two liars! There's no way my sister is going to die! The man said that as long as we help her, my sister will be safe! ”

The young man roared hoarsely, his hands and feet were deeply bloodied by the chains, but he didn't feel the pain, Zhao Hanzhuo listened expressionlessly, grabbed the key information and asked: "Who is that person?" ”

The young man hung his head in a frenzy and lost his strength, repeating vigorously: "Impossible! I don't believe it! ”

Zhao Hanzhuo had long been accustomed to seeing the various states of these prisoners, and he didn't have any pity, so he said calmly: "Do you want me to bring the corpse to you to see?" ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Lord Zhao, aren't you afraid of stimulating the criminal to bite his tongue and kill himself?

Chu Huai'an slandered, collected the ferocity of Fang Cai, pretended to be gentle, and said to the young man in a good voice: "The person you said did not protect your sister as promised, and now she has not yet entered the ground, if you open your mouth to confess, I can still find a place for her to bury her, whether to continue to grit your teeth and not let go or confess and be lenient, you think about it yourself." ”

Inevitably, Zhao Hanzhuo said something to stimulate the young man, Chu Huaian pushed Zhao Hanzhuo and was about to go out, when an old voice suddenly sounded: "Master Hou, I said!" ”

Turning around, the man who had been pretending to be dumb spoke in despair: "On the night of the second day of junior high school, there was a girl wearing a cloak, covering most of her face, carrying a lantern to buy Zi Weaving, she knew my daughter's birthday, where she was on an errand, and took the earrings that my daughter wore closely, and threatened my daughter's life to let me not go out. ”

"Who's that girl?"

"I don't know the girl's name, she only came once, and then I sent Zi Weaving to the back door of the Hou Mansion under the stone, and after two days I went to look under the stone, Zi Weaving has been taken away, under the stone is wrapped in oil paper fifty taels of silver and a portrait of a woman, there is a note in it that the woman on the portrait is called Su Li, if any officers and soldiers come to find it, let us be sure that the woman named Su Li came to buy Zi Weaving, so as to protect my daughter's life."

After saying this, the man lowered his head, and the whole person seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, and he was about to run out of oil.

Zhao Hanzhuo was a little regretful, he only knew that the person was from the Hou Mansion, and he couldn't be sure who it was, could it be that all the subordinates of the Hou Mansion should be announced into the palace for these two people to identify?

Just as he was thinking about it, the battered young man spoke again: "Sizhu! ”

"What?"

"That person's name is Sizhu! One night, my father and I went to the clinic together at night, and when I came back, I saw her go to Shanshitang to find a doctor, and others called her Miss Sizhu. ”

Sizhu, it turned out to be her, sure enough...... It's her!

Anger exploded in his chest, Chu Huai'an shook off Zhao Hanzhuo and walked out of the internal affairs supervisor and went straight to the palace gate.

Walking extremely fast, he left the palace just before the palace gate was locked.

It was already a little late at night, and there were lights all over the Xiaoyao Mansion, because he had not returned the door to him.

"Master Hou, Madame, please come back and find her......"

The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, but Chu Huai'an ignored it, and ran towards Sizhu's yard with the wind under his feet.

Sizhu hadn't slept yet, there was a lamp lit in the house, and when Chu Huai'an kicked the door in, she was embroidering with a bandage, and the movement of kicking the door was quite loud, so startled that she poked a needle to her fingertips, gushing blood.

"Master Hou, why did you come back at this time?"
