When he said this, his tone was a little gloomy, and he stopped talking, and his heart was obviously very entangled.

Xiao Qinglang didn't urge, but when Xu Yanzuo pursed his lips and hesitated, he said casually and coldly: "It's just that after the old lady Sun diagnosed the pulse, he found that Queen Gongshun was injured due to a miscarriage in her early years and couldn't have children at all. Or rather, Empress Gongshun is in good health, but in fact, Emperor Chengzong has a secret illness, and then he can't let the woman give birth to an heir......"

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he sighed: "I didn't expect the prince to even find out about these." ”

Although Emperor Chengzong purged the Tai Hospital after he ascended the throne, neither the imperial doctor who knew about it or the imperial doctor who inadvertently diagnosed the pulse of Empress Gongshun with him never ended up well. Only the old lady of the Sun family not only became famous, but also became Emperor Chengzong's confidant and imperial doctor.

In this regard, it can be seen that the old lady of the Sun family is also a very successful person and is good at drilling. At least know how to take advantage of the weakness of the emperor.

Although as the saying goes, the more you know, the faster you die. However, the situation like Emperor Chengzong is the opposite, and the more you know, the more you can trust him. Because if you get rid of Old Lady Sun, it would be too risky to find a doctor who can keep his secrets for him.

Old lady Sun did an excellent job, and naturally won the trust of Emperor Chengzong.

Xu Qizuo saw that Xiao Qinglang had completely investigated these inside information, and immediately stopped hiding it, and continued: "Since the time of the old lady, there has only been one lone seedling in each of the three generations of the Sun family, and in addition, any woman who is pregnant will encounter an accident. And my father and I were both very young and were called to the Tai Hospital to discuss medical skills with the Tai doctors...... Everyone in the world says that the Sun family has superb medical skills and is valued by the emperor, but they don't know that if we are a little negligent in medical skills and cannot gain a foothold in the Tai Hospital, it may lead to death. ”

"Later, when the first emperor was in his thirty-sixth year, his body suffered a serious injury, and the imperial doctor who treated him at that time was my father, and Sun Yuanzheng, the head of the imperial hospital at that time." Xu Chengzuo's expression at this time was also very complicated, as if he was relieved, and he revealed the inside information he knew. "In fact, my father knew very well that according to the situation of the first emperor, it was impossible to do the things of men and women at all. However, he couldn't say that in order to conceal this matter, he also concealed the case of the first emperor in the Tai Hospital, and replaced it with an ordinary diagnosis and treatment record. ”

"I didn't know so much at first, until the first emperor began to secretly ask his father to help him check all kinds of pills, and even asked my father many times with fanatical interest to inquire about the alchemy of using human flesh and blood into medicine...... In the following two years, the smell of blood contained in the elixir that the first emperor secretly handed over to his father for inspection had become bigger and bigger, and even the dansha could not cover it up. At that time, my father knew that the matter was out of control, and in order to protect his grandson's family, he had the idea of retiring, and only then did he inform me of all this. ”

When he said this, Xu Qizuo couldn't help but cover his face and sigh. It's ridiculous that at that time, he was still obsessed with medical skills, and even often thought that the emperor valued himself and could raise the lintel of the Sun family......

Imagine how tormented my father's heart was at that time, and how frightened he was every time he saw the emperor summoning his only son.

At this time, there was silence in the large study, and the atmosphere was oppressive and quiet, which made people both shocked and frightened.

Even with these, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu had probably guessed it, and their hearts were extremely unfair at this time. No matter what speculation they had in their minds, it was still a reasonable speculation, not a definitive truth.

However, now that I heard what Xu Chengzuo said, the luck on the side may no longer be tenable.

Xu Chu looked at Xiao Qinglang, who was silent, and stopped talking, but after all, he didn't say anything comforting.

Xiao Qinglang's appearance seemed to be no different from when he first saw Xu Chengzuo, still cold and calm. Only those hands trembled faintly, so that they couldn't hold the teacup for a while.

Now for him, it is a dilemma. If this is concealed, will it be business as usual? However, the one who stirred up the storm will still go unpunished. But if this matter is reported to the present day, it will not only involve Xiao Qinglang's life experience and the royal scandal, but also something that is enough to shake the imperial power of the Great Zhou.

He squinted, but did not speak, and his indifferent eyes made it impossible to see his expression.

At that time, Xu Qizuo sighed for a long time before continuing: "It's just that although I am the only heir of the three generations of the Sun family, there are still many relatives and friends involved with the Sun family, so even though my father discussed many methods with me, he never implemented them. ”

"In the forty-fourth year of the first emperor, when my father and the old lady Song went to check the pulse, they found that the person they checked was not the same person as the first emperor at all. After that incident, my father began to disperse the people in the house, and later found an excuse to send my grandmother and mother back to Shu on the grounds that they were sick and needed to recuperate. ”

After all, not anyone can withstand the wrath of the emperor. Their grandson family has risen to the sky because of the hard work of the emperor's family, and now if they want to retreat with their whole body, it must not be easy.

"The incident of Changli Palace was an opportunity for me to escape from the palace and the capital. My father stayed in the capital as a hostage, and asked me to return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and then took Xiao Chu to Jinling. The next thing, presumably the prince and Xiao Chu are also clear. ”

His voice fell, and Aunt Chu also spoke in a difficult tone, "I didn't know so much back then, but that year coincided with the violent death of a palace maid, so I pretended Ah Qiu as the daughter born of the palace maid's widow." Later, he deliberately smuggled Ah Qiu out of the palace, committed a taboo in the inner court, and was finally expelled from the palace. ”

Ah Qiu came from a famous family, and he suffered a great disaster as soon as he was born, which was already pitiful. In addition, Sun Ruan Ruan was on her deathbed, and there was the pleading of the first concubine, so she really couldn't afford to leave Ah Qiu in the palace to fend for herself.

Xu Chu's eyes were bright, he pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a hoarse voice: "When Aunt Chu went to Changli Palace to dispose of the corpse, did she see anyone?" ”

Aunt Chu frowned slightly, suddenly stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "At that time, when I arrived at Changli Palace with the miscellaneous servants of the inner court, I happened to see the first emperor leading people away. At that time, he was indeed accompanied by a man in fine clothes, but I only saw the man's back but not his face. ”

Xiao Qinglang eased his emotions slightly, raised his head and glanced at Xu Chu silently. Although Aunt Chu's words were not conclusive, the brocade-clothed man who suddenly appeared in the palace couldn't help but remind them of the person who wanted to take her life in Xu Chu's nightmare.

Aunt Chu was born in the inner court, and she is no stranger to the dignitaries in the palace and the capital, and according to her eyesight, she should recognize people just by looking at her body shape and clothes. But in fact, she only had an impression of the person's brocade clothes, which shows that the person should be the official eunuch who wants to leave in front of people.

Jinling ...... Su Wang's lineage...... Wang Yun......

At that time, Wang Yun had already been secretly killed, so it wouldn't be him. Could that be the figure that Zhang Xiu had only seen?

If the series of cases they uncovered are all linked together into a conspiracy, and it is the same person, then that person is likely to be from the line of King Su.

After a long silence, Xiao Qinglang was the first to speak, "I wonder if Imperial Physician Sun still has the pulse record that was hidden in the Old People's Hospital?" ”

Xu Qizuo suddenly heard the three words of Imperial Physician Sun, and was really stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he smile bitterly and said: "Lord, to this day, where in the world is there still Imperial Physician Sun Wennan!" ”

But what he said was just a little emotional and a sigh. After smiling bitterly, he still said seriously: "I do have the case of my grandfather and father taking him out of the palace, and it is a case book stamped by the Tai Hospital after being reviewed by the Tai Hospital. In addition, the prescriptions prescribed for the diagnosis and treatment of Emperor Chengzong and the first emperor are also recorded. ”

After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qinglang again, and saw that Xiao Qinglang's expression was indifferent, as if he had expected it. So, he hesitated and said, "There is one more thing that I am not sure about. When I was researching the prescription left by the Holy Ancestor's Imperial Hospital, I stumbled upon a prescription that I had written after diagnosing the young King Su. ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that his tone changed slightly, his expression was hesitant, and he immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong with that recipe?" ”

Xu Yanzuo thought about it for a long time, and then said word by word: "If you just look at the prescription, it is indeed beneficial to the disease of wind and cold, and it is also beneficial to the body, but there are a few medicinal materials in it that are a little heavier for regulating the body." I flipped through the ancient books, but found that the ginkgo seeds, angelica, cnidium monnieri, Chuanxiong, amber, safflower, peach kernel, pearl, and wood fragrance are used together, and only three doses can make people infertile for life...... At that time, King Su took nearly six doses of medicine according to that prescription due to the wind and cold......"

Xiao Qinglang's eyes swelled with turbulent waves, in other words, as early as when King Su had not yet reached the year of tying his hair and leaving the palace to seal the mansion, he had already set his way. So, that is to say, perhaps Emperor Chengzong's inability to have children has long been known to someone in the palace, and that person has gone to great lengths to remove the threat for him......

He clenched his hands slightly, and after a little guess in his heart, he knew how the court in the palace was turbulent and how it was smoky in order to win the heir.

Just after Xiao Qinglang sent someone to take Xu Qizuo and Aunt Chu down and temporarily place them in the guest room, the guards of the palace came to tell him that Tang Qiao was asking to see him.

Xu Chu glanced at Xiao Qinglang and called in a low voice, "Xuanzhi? ”

When no one was around, she became more and more accustomed to calling him.

Xiao Qinglang raised his eyes and chuckled: "It's okay, the one who should come will always come, since everything is ready, what are you afraid of?" ”

At least, the situation was much better than he expected. Even if the first emperor has a different background, the bloodline of King Su may not be pure.
