Chapter 559: Guilt
"Oh? Where does this begin? Hearing such a statement, Zhao Yufeng wanted to know the truth more and more.
"When the emperor summoned me, he issued a secret decree to me. At that time, the emperor told me that I would kill the fetus in the concubine's womb at all costs. From that moment, I strengthened my inner thoughts, the emperor has never had any feelings for the concubine. The two of them were just a political marriage between the emperor and the powerful. ”
"But the concubine is single-minded to the emperor, and has always fantasized that the emperor always has her in his heart and can give her a bright future."
Zhao Yufeng has been listening silently, there is no fluctuation on the surface, but he is really full of emotion in his heart, and he is very shocked. All along, his father has always been a loving father in his heart. Zhao Yufeng has always been adopted by Wei Ruyan in the palace, and every time there are only a few of them in the air, Zhao Yufeng will be bullied.
But every time his father arrived, it must have been a different situation. Wei Ruyan will show that she is equal to herself and Zhao Yuqin in front of her father every time. Therefore, only when his father arrived, Zhao Yufeng felt that his life was not so difficult and became happier.
So from childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yufeng's impression of his father and emperor is still very good, although carefully calculated, their father and son do not have any chance to be alone, but such an image of a loving father has been buried in Zhao Yufeng's heart for many years.
And now Imperial Physician Xu's words have greatly reduced the image of the former emperor in Zhao Yufeng's heart.
How so? Something, that tall figure, that majestic man in a dragon robe, has always been Zhao Yufeng's idol! How could the truth be like this?
For a while, Zhao Yufeng fell into deep thought and did not respond for a long time.
Seeing this, Imperial Physician Xu continued: "I have to obey the will given to me by the emperor. But if I were to personally have the fetus in the only son of the concubine, even if I risked my life, I would never be able to do this. But at the same time, I was faced with a very difficult choice, and I really didn't know what to do. ”
"At that time, I was very painful, but after all, I still couldn't bear to do it, so I could only lie that I had done it, and later said to the concubine Niangniang that the fetus I was carrying for my mother was underdeveloped, and most of the children born were stillborn."
"I thought in my heart that if I could do this, at least I could temporarily hide the emperor's eyes and ears, and when it was time to give birth, I would just find a fetus and fool around."
Zhao Yufeng listened softly, still without any reaction, but he had indeed begun to sort out in his heart, and gradually sorted out the context of this seemingly complicated matter.
"Originally, I thought that this plan was seamless, but in order not to let the emperor find out, I didn't even tell her that the concubine herself was fake. But I didn't expect that all of this would be complicated by my bad decision at the time. ”
"I really didn't expect that the concubine Niangniang would be so resolute, in order to be able to pull the imperial concubine off the horse at that time, she did not hesitate to kill the fetus in her womb with her own hands. Of course, I also learned about these things later. ”
"At that time, I was also the one who diagnosed and treated the concubine, and at that time, I did think that the fetus was killed, and it was indeed the imperial concubine Niangniang who was not wrong, so I felt even more sorry for the concubine Niangniang at that time."
According to Taiyi Xu, Zhao Yufeng is indeed able to understand him, after all, there is such a thing, and he is a person who doesn't know the inside story, according to common sense, often every time something happens, everyone will generally choose the side that favors the victim.
So from this point of view, it is natural that Imperial Doctor Xu would subconsciously feel sorry for Wei Ruyan in a situation like that at that time.
But in this series of events, what did Zhang Ran do wrong? All along, she was just a victim.
If Wei Ruyan still did something wrong because she wanted to pull Zhang Ran into the water, but Zhang Ran was completely innocent.
Zhao Yufeng thought about this incident in his mind, and fell into deep thought again.
So, if the truth is really like what Imperial Doctor Xu said, then Wei Ruyan is indeed not the biggest culprit. Although she did do some hurtful things, she was not the culprit in the first place.
If such a thing happens, you can only blame your father.
It turns out that the hearts of people in the middle are sinister, not only among the concubines. It's just that I don't know why my father would make him so jealous of Wei Ruyan in the first place, and even killed the child in her belly with his own hands.
Zhao Yufeng couldn't figure it out.
"So the emperor really can't blame the queen mother for this matter! But this matter, it is true that the old minister is also responsible, if the emperor must blame someone, let this catastrophe befall the old minister! He only entered the Tai Hospital when he was thirty or forty years old, and he also stayed in the palace for about twenty years. ”
"The old minister has long seen what he does every day, and now there is only this long-cherished wish left, and I hope that the emperor can fulfill it." As he spoke, Imperial Physician Xu slammed his head on the ground again, and he didn't lift it up for a long time.
Of course, Zhao Yufeng knew what he meant, since the moment Imperial Physician Xu walked into the imperial study, he had already put his net worth and life on the line. And the remarks just now are not trying to threaten Zhao Yufeng with his qualifications, but they are all sincere. ”
"Imperial Physician Xu has been in the palace for so many years, he shouldn't be an unreasonable person, and he is also very clear in his heart, although Wei Ruyan is not so guilty, but after all, he still did something wrong, if he doesn't even hold him accountable, then I'm afraid it will lose the royal majesty.
So at this time, it may be the best result for Imperial Doctor Xu to stand up and confess.
"Have you ever thought that if you stand up this time, it will be an endless abyss from which you will never return. If you take it all on your own, it's not impossible. However, what you have to endure is not only as simple as falling to the ground, but also the disgrace of your entire family, and all those related to you will be implicated. ”
"You are doing a good deed, in fact, you are dead, and everyone doesn't know what you did, they only know that you are a person who deserves to die for a heinous crime, and they only know that Aunt Xu will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years, and will be laughed at and insulted by the world."
Zhao Yufeng himself didn't realize that when he asked these words, he had already clearly shown his position!
