Chapter 189: Caught in Right and Wrong
In a certain dormitory of the palace, a beautiful woman was lying on a chaise longue, her eyes closed leisurely, and the palace maid next to her was carefully holding fruit and feeding her to eat.
"Mother." At this time, a woman wearing a palace maid's costume walked in outside the door, but her appearance and temperament did not look like a palace maid at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was a harem concubine.
"What?" The woman still had her eyes closed, enjoying the service of the palace maids.
"The slave has something to report to the mother." She looked at the palace maid who was kneeling beside her, obviously trying to get her to retreat from everyone.
"Let's all get out." After Niangniang understood what she meant, she drove the person out directly, and then opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, she wanted to retreat left and right, there must be something important to report.
"Niangniang, someone came to report just now that Lin Zhaoyi had summoned Imperial Doctor Lan five months ago, and he probably knew that Lin Zhaoyi was pregnant at that time." The woman lowered her head and whispered in her ear.
"Why didn't you report such an important matter until now?" After hearing this, Niangniang glared angrily at the woman in front of her.
"At that time, after Imperial Doctor Lan saw Lin Zhaoyi, there was no news that he was pregnant, so he forgot about it, just now he went to the imperial study, probably to report the matter to the emperor, if the emperor knew that Lin Zhaoyi was not pregnant for three months, then it would be troublesome." The woman said worriedly.
"What if you know, is it possible that the emperor will listen to his words?" Niangniang sneered disapprenorantly, having said that, she was also very worried in her heart.
"Now that he is a celebrity around the emperor, maybe he will really believe what he says." The woman didn't have such a fluke idea, if the emperor wanted to re-examine the cause of Lin Zhaoyi's death, it would be troublesome.
"What are you afraid of, a little imperial doctor, what can you do to me, come with your ears." Niangniang smiled confidently, looking at her appearance, as if she had thought of a countermeasure.
After the woman heard this, she knelt beside the chaise longue, and the mother said it in her ear, and the more she listened, the more her brows wrinkled, and she felt that this method was a little unreliable.
"Mother, is this okay? He is the one who rejected Princess Lexi, can the emperor believe such rumors? The woman asked uncertainly.
"Just do it, and then you'll need your father's help." Niangniang is very confident in her plan, as long as it comes to fruition, the emperor will definitely be very angry.
"Yes." The woman saw that she looked confident, so she could only do it, anyway, she was out of line.
Seeing the woman leaving, Niangniang smiled coldly, those who dared to oppose her had only a dead end, and Lan Tingxuan would not be able to escape such a fate.
And Lan Tingxuan, who was being remembered, was checking Lin Zhaoyi's body with An Fenghai, he didn't know how to look at the external injuries, he could only see if Lin Zhaoyi was poisoned.
When he saw Lin Zhaoyi, he finally understood why others would believe that she was only pregnant in March, because her belly was too small, she was already pregnant in May, but her belly was very small, and from the appearance, it was indeed only three or April.
He checked Lin Zhaoyi, and there was no poisoning, so he stepped aside and asked An Fenghai to come forward to check, and after he withdrew, An Fenghai naturally stepped forward.
Lin Zhaoyi hanged himself, he first checked the wound, and after checking it, he found out that something was wrong, Lin Zhaoyi's erection neck had two strangulation marks, if you don't look carefully, you naturally can't see it, looking at this wound, you know that the person who killed Lin Zhaoyi is not the first time to do such a thing.
"Imperial Doctor Lan, you're right, Lin Zhaoyi didn't really hang herself." An Fenghai said with a serious face, if this is the case, then Lin Zhaoyi is indeed the heir of the dragon, and it is a big crime to dare to kill the heir of the dragon, who would dare to take such a risk to completely eradicate her?
An Fenghai knew the harem very well, and after knowing that Lin Zhaoyi was not hanged, he began to look for the person who benefited the most, but it was not ruled out that some people wanted to marry other mothers.
Lan Tingxuan was shocked when he heard this, and dared to make a move on the dragon heir, this person's status in the harem must not be simple, and her family background is naturally not ordinary, otherwise she would never dare to hurt the dragon heir so fearlessly.
"This matter is a bit tricky, let's go and report to the emperor first." An Fenghai looked at Lan Tingxuan, and saw that he knew that things were not simple, but he still did not flinch, and he had a little admiration for him, and he didn't care at all about the things that others didn't dare to take over.
"Okay." He nodded approvingly, the matter related to the dragon heir must be cautious, and the next thing still needs to be decided by the emperor.
An Fenghai checked Lin Zhaoyi's other places again, but he was a man, and there were some hidden places that were not suitable for viewing, so he could only take a cursory look.
The two of them returned to the imperial study together and reported the matter to Xing Tianqi, he was very angry after hearing it, and dared to kill Lin Zhaoyi at this time, obviously because he didn't want her to give birth to the child.
In the harem, although there are not many cases of killing dragon heirs, they have also happened, but at that time the children were still very young, and it was easy to get rid of them, and this time Lin Zhaoyi's incident was the most unexpected.
After being pregnant for more than five months, the child has been stable, if it is beaten off with drugs, the dose must be large, but in this case, it is easy to be discovered, and the other is to let Lin Zhaoyi fall and directly make the child stillborn, but since she was pregnant, the door has been closed and never came out, this method is useless, and in the end she can only do nothing, directly kill her together, and then create evidence of her fornication with others, and there is no proof of death.
"You will thoroughly investigate this matter for me, and whoever is behind the scenes must find out for me." Xing Tianqi said angrily, usually the battles in the harem, I thought that they would fight back and forth for the sake of fighting for the wind and jealousy, so he had always been too lazy to care, but now that it involves the issue of the dragon heir, he naturally will not ignore it anymore.
"Yes." An Fenghai and Lan Tingxuan replied, although they knew that this matter was not simple, but they had already received the order, so they could only continue to investigate.
After the two of them exited the imperial study, they began to investigate the matter thoroughly, they first went to Lin Zhaoyi's bedroom, checked it, and asked some palace maids about it, but they didn't get useful evidence, so they could only pin their hopes on the imperial doctor.
Lan Tingxuan was already kind-hearted, so naturally he couldn't interrogate the imperial doctor, but An Fenghai was not as kind-hearted as him, so he directly pressed and asked, if it didn't work again, he would coerce and lure, as long as he could find out the truth, any method could be used.
But the final result was still unsatisfactory, no matter how he asked, the imperial doctor only said that he had diagnosed the wrong pulse, which made An Fenghai helpless.
Lan Tingxuan knew the imperial doctor in front of him, although he was not familiar with him, his medical skills were among the best among many imperial doctors, it should be impossible to diagnose the wrong pulse, he carefully observed, and always felt suspicious.
"Imperial Physician Wan, you have been on duty in the palace for decades, how could you make such a low-level mistake?" He asked, confused, observing his expression in passing.
Hearing his words, Imperial Physician Wan's face changed suddenly, but it quickly returned to normal, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at him.
"There are always times when people are negligent, hasn't Imperial Doctor Lan made mistakes?" Imperial Physician Wan had a very bad attitude towards Lan Tingxuan, and he had been excluding him since he entered the palace, but he didn't care at all, making him feel like a clown jumping off the beam and making a fool of himself in front of him again and again.
Before Lan Tingxuan entered the palace, he was the best doctor in the Tai Hospital, not only the concubines came to him for treatment, but even the Queen Mother and the Emperor trusted him the most, but now it is good, not only did the emperor not summon him once, but even the concubines rarely looked for him, which made him not hate, how could he not complain.
"As doctors, we can't make mistakes, patients give us their lives, we have to be responsible, even small mistakes can cost them their lives, so mistakes should not happen to doctors. Since you have chosen to be a doctor, you should have this awareness. Lan Tingxuan saw that he had said this matter so lightly, and his heart suddenly became angry, and his tone of voice was also a little unpolite.
His words made Imperial Physician Wan stunned for a moment, and he also had such ambitions in the past, but since he entered the palace, his original intention has changed somehow, and in order to get ahead, he began to do things against his will.
"Isn't it to help those who are suffering from illness?" Lan Tingxuan saw that he was stunned for a moment, and continued, hoping to awaken his conscience.
"Imperial Doctor Lan, I know that you have a pure heart and want to help all those who are suffering from illness, but after entering the palace, you will soon become indifferent and ruthless, even if you see someone die in front of your eyes, you will be indifferent, this is the palace, even if you are afraid but everyone wants to come in." Doctor Wan said with a sigh.
In the past, like Lan Tingxuan, he only thought about hanging the pot to help the world, but after entering the palace, he was not faced with patients, but with intrigues that often occurred, watching innocent people lose their lives again and again but could not do anything, no matter how honest his heart was, he would become cold and hard.
Lan Tingxuan listened to his words, and felt sad in his heart, since he entered the palace on duty, he had seen more life and death than he had seen in the past twenty years, and he wanted to help them, but he couldn't do anything, this feeling was really terrible.
"Maybe you're right, you've seen a lot of life and death, and you've long been accustomed to it, but no matter how indifferent you become, you can't participate in it as a knife in someone else's hand." It is true that others will change in the palace, but no matter how he changes, he will not do anything against his will.
"Do you think I want to be a part of it? There are some things that you don't want to participate in and people will force you to participate, and the power of those people is not something that you can compete with as a small imperial doctor. Imperial Doctor Wan smiled mockingly, perhaps Lan Tingxuan's words made him think of what he was like before, and he was not hostile to him anymore.
"No matter how powerful you are, can you still be bigger than the emperor? As long as you tell the truth, the emperor will not blame you. Seeing him like this, An Fenghai on the side began to tempt him, as long as the emperor did not blame, he would definitely hesitate and not be as strong as before.
Doctor Wan listened to An Fenghai's words, and really hesitated, from the beginning he didn't want to participate in the harem struggle, but others threatened him with his family, so he had to participate in it, so that he fell deeper and deeper.
