The cold sweat on Cao Qinchuan's forehead slowly trickled down his old sideburns: "If it weren't for Xu Yan's trouble, why would the emperor and queen be furious." And Yi Concubine's body has always been taken care of by Xu Yan, and the old minister has never entered the gate of Jingren Palace, he has already heard about Yi Concubine's unfortunate slippage, and he is afraid, guessing that this matter must be inseparable from Xu Yan, so he ......"

Lan Xin glanced at Xue Guining and motioned for him to pick up the pills that had rolled off the porcelain bottle and hand them over to the court judge.

Xue Guining deliberately chose a pill that was a little farther away, and the more complete pill was handed over to the Cao Yuan for judgment.

"The court will take a look at what is wrong with this pill for fetal safety." Lan Xin rolled his eyes and glanced at Cao Xuyan, calmly: "Imperial Doctor Cao is still too late to say it now, if you don't say it, the court will naturally make it clear for you." ”

The horizontal eyebrows were raised coldly, and the eyebrows were beating frequently, Cao Xuyan finally chose to be silent, lying on the ground and not moving. And his porcelain piece pierced his hand for a long time, and the blood from the wound had coagulated, but it was still very painful, painful.

Cao Qinchuan put the fetal pill in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, looked at the shape and color, and finally simply put it in his mouth and sipped it carefully. At first, the expression on his face was calm, and he couldn't see anything wrong. But as the pill melted in his mouth, his face became more and more gloomy. "Son, you are so bold, you dare to hide the pill in the pill, saffron, you ......"

Cao Xuyan seemed to have known that this would be the result, and Empress Fangcai also reminded him, so the words came out of the mouth of his most trusted uncle, and he was not surprised at all.

"Take it and I'll see." Hongli's eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Xue Guining hurriedly picked up a number of pills neatly and handed them to Li Yu. and then handed it to the emperor by Li Yu himself.

Hongli crushed a pill and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, under the surface of several layers, there were some different colors of medicine. And these medicines are all in the center of the ball, if they are not crushed, it is not easy to find at all. "It's not a delicate effort, it can only be said to have ulterior motives. Cao Xuyan, this pill was brought by you to Concubine Yi, what else do you have to say so far? ”

"Weichen should die, please deal with it with the emperor." Cao Xuyan raised his head slightly, his gaze quickly swept across Cao Qinchuan's cheeks, and then he quickly lowered his head, as if this glance was just looking at nothing, and he was not willing to pause at all.

"Your Majesty, Cao Xuyan just said very clearly, the prescription of this fetal pill is the ancestral heirloom of the Cao family. It turned out to be an ancestral prescription, and the judgment of Cao Yuan must also know. In this case, please ask the emperor to deal with Cao Yuan's judgment together. Lan Xin said word by word, cautious and clear, for fear that Cao Qinchuan would not understand his thoughts and wanted him to accompany him to the funeral.

Hearing this, Cao Qinchuan hurriedly knelt down and said to forgive: "Queen Mother, the Cao family does have a lot of ancestral recipes, but there is absolutely no saffron pill hidden in the vicious recipe of saffron to make people abort. The queen mother Mingjian, this is obviously the son Cao Xuyan's own doing, and it has nothing to do with the Cao family's prescription at all, and the old minister has never instructed him to do this, I hope the emperor and queen will be gracious. ”

With a sigh, Hongli turned his eyes slightly at Lan Xin, knowing each other's intentions. "Cao Yuan didn't know, just before you arrived, the queen had already explained everything to Cao Xuyan. If this matter is done by him, unless he alone has to resist it, the Cao family will not be able to escape the crime of being punished. ”

"Your Majesty." Cao Qinchuan told again and again: "The emperor forgives the sins, the old minister really doesn't know about this matter, the emperor forgives the sins......"

"Forgiveness?" Lan Xin glanced at Cao Qinchuan coldly, she never thought that Cao Yuan, who had changed to her uncle, would be so vicious and vicious inside, that even her nephew would not let go. "If the emperor can only pardon one person, will the Cao Yuan sentence the emperor to be merciful to you, or is it your nephew who you regard as your own son, or your son who has just learned to speak?"

This sentence was simply stabbed into Cao Qinchuan's heart. He almost jumped up in surprise. The queen refused to let go of her old man, when did she become so vicious, when did she have such a gloomy mind. "The child is innocent, why should the queen be aggressive. This matter really has nothing to do with the old minister. ”

Cao Xuyan knew that death was inevitable, so he said with a heart: "What the court judge said is good, Weichen does things alone, please don't blame others." Weichen owes Yi Concubine a life, and is willing to offset it with his life, hoping that the emperor and queen will be gracious and forgive the clansmen who were sentenced by the court. ”

"Imperial Doctor Cao is afraid that he has forgotten that Yonglian died of typhoid fever, and your life has been compensated for by this palace. Now, where do you have your life to compensate for Concubine Yi. Lan Xin was so disappointed that Cao Xuyan would rather die than tell the truth, which really made her hateful.

What a good opportunity this is to force Cao Qinchuan to backlash and truthfully state his dealings with the Queen Mother to the emperor. With this incriminating evidence, even if the emperor wants to abolish the queen mother, it is not impossible. If the queen mother is deposed, the emperor can find his biological mother and canonize him as the queen mother, then it will be a real family reunion.

Lan Xin only dared to think about these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them to the emperor. He didn't know if the emperor would be unwilling to admit his biological mother because of his identity and bloodline. With a sigh in his heart, Lan Xin took away the excess sadness, and said quietly: "Young and young, the concubine begs the emperor for mercy and forgives the young child who is still sentenced by the Cao Yuan." Just exile him from Beijing and spare his life. ”

"Queen Mother......" Cao Qinchuan's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of blood red: "Why are you ...... this?"

Hongli was a little annoyed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Just according to what the queen said." After the interrogation of the criminal department is clear, the male members of the Cao family should be executed and executed, and when they are exiled and exiled, the female dependents and maids will be handed over to the queen to deal with herself. ”

"The concubine obeys." Lan Xin glanced at Cao Qinchuan with a smile, and said in his heart, this is your own fault, and you can't blame others.

"Stand down, I'll accompany Yi Concubine. When she woke up, I wanted to tell her in person...... "Although Hongli doesn't love Concubine Yi very much, he also pities her suffering.

Lan Xin couldn't bear it slightly, she couldn't see such a thing the most. How painful it must be for a mother to lose her child, like the feeling of hot oil pouring on her heart, so how can she bear it. "The concubine has retired."

Silently staying by Yi Concubine's side for a while, Hongli calculated the time and said to Li Yu: "Cao's uncle and nephew must have something to say yet, you go to the prison with me." ”

Li Yu responded while serving the emperor to the prison. But I was very puzzled in my heart, the emperor wanted to find out the reason, why didn't he ask, but went to the prison in person without tireless work, could it be that in front of the queen's mother, there were a lot of things that could not be said? This is strange, isn't the emperor the most trusting of the queen? Li Yu was surprised in his heart, but his face was cautious, and he didn't have many tongues to make the emperor unhappy.

Cao Qinchuan and Cao Xuyan were locked in two adjacent cells, sitting back to back, and neither of them said anything.

The air in the prison was filled with all kinds of unpleasant temperatures, damp musty smells, sour sweat smells, and the foul smell of excrement, in short, it was difficult to get used to. It's just that because they are pretending to be in their hearts, Cao Xuyan and Cao Qinchuan don't seem to smell it, and they are still gloomy with bitterness and hatred, and they sit silently.

After a long while, Cao Qinchuan snorted coldly and threw out a packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve. "Your father died early, and you were raised by my uncle. I taught you medicine and nurtured you, but in the end you came to harm my son. If you still have a little conscience, you can decide it in this prison. You alone bear the matter, so I begged the emperor for mercy and spared the lives of the Cao family and my young son. ”

Seeing that his uncle had already prepared, Cao Xuyan only smiled faintly. "When I noticed that the pill was moving, the first thing I thought was that you had done it. No one has touched my vial but you, but I can't figure out why I did it. Why are you doing this? Uncle, your youngest son is life, isn't the life in Concubine Yi's womb?

Our Cao family is a royal minion, where is there a reason for a slave to disobey his master. Even if you want to be disobedient, why do it to a child who is not yet formed? It is our vocation to practice medicine and save people, but you are ...... You actually used these hands to save people, to kill people...... You deserve to die, you deserve to die. ”

"Shut up. You disobedient son. Cao Qinchuan's angry face was like a pig's liver, and it burned red to his neck: "Your life was raised by your husband, you should pay me back." Do you know that the Queen Mother's blood drops have already taken control of the Cao Mansion, if I don't replace your pills, it will be my son-in-law who will die this morning.

You also said that Concubine Yi's child is still formed, at best it is just the emperor's blood. But what about me, I'm an old man, and I can't afford to have this hope, how can I let him have something. If someone must bear the consequences, should they sacrifice their own children to fill the lives of others? ”

Cao Qinchuan calmed down a little, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't steal my life, as long as the emperor is willing to pardon the life of his young son, the old man will definitely go down to Jiuquan with you, go to the underworld, and then make amends to your father." ”

Cao Xuyan held the small packet of poison and said angrily: "The last time the queen mother killed her nephew, you shouldn't have saved her." If I had died at that time, how could I have seen my uncle, whom I had always respected, actually having such an ugly face inside. I owe so much to the Queen, and I just want to forgive my sins.

It's a pity that the queen has always been a thorn in the side of the queen mother, and I still can't do anything. Uncle, if you still have a little conscience, explain everything to the emperor, the queen mother's blood drops control the safety of everyone in the palace, but the emperor has thousands of troops, how can he not be safeguarded, you can't be wrong again and again, uncle. ”
