Shen Ninghua folded his hands on his waist, staring straight ahead with a flat gaze, his slender back straight. The skirt embroidered with large azaleas swayed beautifully with her movements, like a grand sea of flowers.

Her gaze skimmed over the emperor on the throne, the prince below the steps, and finally stopped on Shen Dong and the others kneeling on the ground:

Whenever there is a crisis, she is always the first to be pushed out. She was the first to be suspected when something happened, and she was the first to find something wrong, and now she needs someone to die! If she doesn't have a heart, she won't have heartache, and she deserves death?

"The courtiers visit the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Baili Qingcang's sharp eyes fell on Shen Ninghua, and slowly became slightly softer: "Flat." ”

Everyone was shocked, and all the princes and ministers in the main hall knelt on the ground, and only Shen Ninghua stood in the center.

Shen Dong knelt down and looked at the cold jade ground, the smooth ground clearly reflected Shen Ninghua's silhouette, and a trace of distress flashed in his heart, the prescription incident was too big, the Shen family wanted to retreat with their whole body, and it was impossible for no one to sacrifice. Then, Shen Ninghua can only be sacrificed.

Baili Qingcang's voice was majestic: "Shen Ninghua, just now Shen Xuanye said that you gave him the medicine to treat the plague, but is it true?" ”

"Yes." Shen Ninghua nodded.

"Then you also know that he used the medicine you gave to study the prescription?"

"Yes."

"Then you know that there is a problem with the prescription he researched?"

"Yes, I know."

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"She even knows, she doesn't say it, what is she trying to do?"

"If you don't think about the people at all, you deserve death."

"Yes, such a woman is simply discrediting the family and disgraced!"

There are even people who have angrily questioned Shen Ninghua:

"Shen Ninghua, do you know what loyalty and filial piety mean? You know that there is a problem with the prescription but you don't say it, causing thousands of people in Jiangnan to almost die after taking the prescription, ignoring the interests of the country, this is disloyalty! It is unfilial piety for you to give medicine to your father or brother and not tell them that they have made a mistake. It's a shame to be so disloyal and unfilial! ”

"Lord Wang is right, it is better to die happily if you don't know loyalty, righteousness and filial piety like this."

"The two adults are talking about ......"

Baili Qingcang looked at the farce under the hall with cold eyes, and his expression was as deep as the sea. Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth secretly, these people really dared to say that they actually aimed all the spearheads at Shen Ninghua.

The only one in the hall who didn't move was Shen Ninghua. From beginning to end, the expression on her face was indifferent, no matter whether others questioned or insulted her, her expression remained unchanged, so that people could not see any emotion.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that those ministers finished scolding angrily, and Shen Ninghua slowly spoke: "Are you all done?" Now that I'm done, can I speak? ”

"What else do you have to say, you witch?"

Shen Ninghua turned his head to look at Lord Wang, who was the first to speak: "This adult's surname is Wang, right?" I remember that the reason why your royal family was able to enter the court to serve the emperor was because your family had a concubine when the emperor was alive, and I heard that when this concubine was favored at that time, you stammered in every way, and then she was beaten into the cold palace because of her mistakes, and you immediately cut off relations with her, no wonder you are the happiest to scold today. If it weren't for the abolished concubine who lived in the cold palace at that time, you would all strangle people to death to show your loyalty, right? ”

"Nonsense, you...... You...... Sling the bull! ”

Shen Ninghua stared at him: "I'm talking nonsense? If you say that I am unfaithful and unfilial, then I should ask my lord, is it a bad thing that I have medicine for the plague in my hand? ”

Lord Wang's face changed slightly: "No"

"I have this medicine, and my father asked me to study it, I gave it, is it wrong?"

"No, that's right."

"Then let me ask you again, did I force the prescription to be offered? Did I buy the medicine and send it to the people of Jiangnan? Did I insist that the victims drink the medicine? ”

The Lord Wang was covered in cold sweat, and he was speechless when asked: "You...... You ......"

"I haven't done any of these things, so why does Lord Wang keep saying that the people I hurt are not making a living? At the moment of the disaster, you pillars of the country are at a loss, and you can't find any solution, but you are persecuting a weak woman of mine. Holding the court's money, eating the blood and sweat of the people, occupying a high position and inaction, who is disloyal and unfilial? ”

An official on the side immediately jumped out: "You dare to accuse the important ministers of the court at a young age, you are so bold!" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly: "You now know that I am a weak woman at a young age, why didn't you remember it when you accused me of bringing disaster to the country and the people just now?" As an important minister of the court, you have to force a weak woman to death, you are truly brazen! ”

"Presumptuous! There was a loud noise in the court, do you still have a royal law? ”

Shen Ninghua looked over, and it was the official of the Ministry who spoke: "If I disturb the court, the emperor will naturally punish me, this adult's heart is really generous!" Isn't there a saying in your ministry, the yamen is open to the south, and if you have money, don't come in. Is this going to talk about the royal law? ”

More and more officials can't help it, they are all officials of the imperial court, if they are suppressed by a woman who is not enough, how can they mix in the future.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials retreated, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites stepped up: "The little girl really dares to say that slandering important ministers of the court is a capital crime, don't think that you are the daughter of the prime minister and you can be so unscrupulous." ”

"Slander?" Shen Ninghua took out a notebook from his sleeve and opened two pages, "I came back from Beizhuang to the Shen family for a total of three months and twenty-three days, and every day I asked people to go to the yamen set up by the officials to hear the trial, so many days, the yamen of the ministry tried a total of 18 cases, except for some small cases of stealing chickens and dogs, three of the remaining cases, and the remaining fifteen cases, except for the seven cases that have not yet been concluded, and the remaining eight cases can be determined to be unjust cases, there are six cases!" This is a careful record of the facts of the case and the trial process, this lord of the Ministry of Rites, you have to take a closer look at whether I am slandering! ”

Being looked at by Shen Ninghua's cool and dark eyes, the official of the Ministry of Rites was in a cold sweat: "You...... Your Majesty, this matter ......"

Baili Qingcang waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to take the booklet in Shen Ninghua's hand, and the more he looked at the storm in his eyes, the more fierce it became, and finally formed a violent storm and swept out: "Come on, drag Zhou Xueyi, the servant of the ministry, to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead him, and invite the unjust people of the cases recorded in this booklet to the entrance of the vegetable market to watch the punishment!" ”

"Your Majesty, your emperor thinks twice."

"I hate officials for favoritism and irregularities the most, and I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one." Baili Qingcang threw the booklet on the bookcase, "This is Kyoto, at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" If this is the case here, what will the officials look like who are far away from Kyoto? How many such officials have been killed, and some people are willing to take their place! ”

There was a deathly silence in the court, and no one dared to come forward to argue with Shen Ninghua again, for fear that she would come up with any more evidence.

Shen Ninghua stood straight, like a crisp green bamboo, clear and weak, but it suppressed the elegance of the hall!

Baili Qingcang looked at her, his fingers trembled slightly: he really deserves to be her child, such pride, such a peerless elegance!

"Shen Dong, what else do you have to say?"

Shen Dong turned his head to look at Shen Ninghua, as if he knew this daughter for the first time, and finally a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes: "Ninghua, since you know that there is a problem with the prescription, you must know what the real prescription is, hurry up and teach it to the emperor." ”

Shen Ninghua's body trembled, and her eyes were filled with a hint of water: "Father, I know that there is a problem with the prescription but I don't know what is wrong." "I knew that I would be given up, but when it came to the end, my heart was still unbearable.

"You once learned medicine from the old doctor who treated you, how can you not know the real prescription? Hurry up and hand it over, won't you save me and your brother? Shen Dong's words were serious, but the last bit of unbearability in Shen Ninghua's heart dissipated.

"Father, I have studied medicine, and I also know the general direction of research, after I knew the use of those medicines, I have been working hard, I only hope that one day I can research a prescription to save thousands of people, but unfortunately my father and younger brother insisted on taking away all the medicines in my hands, so I had to interrupt," Shen Ninghua looked up at Baili Qingcang,

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of research manuscripts and medical books left by the old doctor in my courtyard, I put them all away and put them together, my maid Bai Wei knows where the manuscript is, and the emperor can send someone to get it."

"Okay." Baili Qingcang's eyes were happy, and he nodded, "Come on, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the manuscripts and medical books that Shen Ninghua said, and see if there are any manuscripts that Shen Xuanye burned, if there is any leftover, bring them together." ”

Chen Yun was very pleased: "Your Majesty, last time Weichen was fortunate enough to drink the wine made by Shen Ninghua, the pharmacological application in it is very detailed, I want to use her manuscript and Shen Xuanye's manuscript to combine, I should be able to see a lot of problems." ”

Baili Qingcang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, although Aiqing researches, if there is any lack of medicinal materials, go to my private library to get it immediately, and you must crack the prescription as soon as possible." ”

The atmosphere in the court was slightly relaxed, and many officials breathed a sigh of relief in a cold sweat. If he can't come up with a prescription, the emperor doesn't know how many people will be implicated.

Shen Ninghua narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifted slightly to Baili Jinchuan, and nodded faintly.

Baili Jinchuan hooked the corners of his lips: Shen Ninghua finally made up his mind, he really wants to thank Shen Dong for his ruthlessness, from today onwards, he wants there to be no more Prime Minister Shen Cheng Mansion in Kyoto!

"Report! Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the servants and others went to the Shen Mansion to get the manuscript and medical books, but found that Shen Ninghua's Yingyue Residence was in a mess, and Prime Minister Shen's wife Zhao led people to throw all the things inside into the pond. The manuscript medical book is completely ruined! ”

Baili Qingcang's eyes darkened, and he held on to the dragon chair and shook it before he stabilized his figure, his lips trembling with anger: "Shen Dong!" Shen Dong! Good Prime Minister Shen, good Zhao family, if you can't find a prescription, I will punish your nine clans! ”
