The maid saw Xuanyuan Che coming in, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Lord, the slave brought water for Aunt Ruyu to drink, but the princess knocked over the water, what should I do now?" ”

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che saw Ruyu who was begging for water to drink on the bed, and kicked the maid away: "Why don't you go and bring another bowl of water to your master, what are you howling here?" ”

Duo Meizi repeatedly emphasized: "You must get cold water from the well." The tone was very cold, and Xi Nu also went out with the little girl who sang it, afraid that the girl would know how to use her hands and feet.

Because of her unbearable thirst, Aunt Ruyu rolled out of bed and looked for water to drink, but all the water in the whole room was brought out by Sister Duo.

Ruyu felt that her body was like a fire, and her mouth was so thirsty that she rushed out, so many people present didn't stop her, Xuanyuan Che gave her a look, and the guards followed behind her.

Shen Jie said very anxiously: "How can this be, how did the maid pour the water just now, Aunt Ruyu must not do anything when she goes out." ”

Sister Duo and Xuanyuan Che went out together, and when they just came out of the gate, the guards hurriedly came to say: "Lord Wang, Aunt Ruyu jumped into the lotus pond to drink water and died." ”

Xuanyuan Che's heart shook slightly, there was not much wave on his face, and he said flatly: "Let's bury it like jade with the gift of my wife, and everyone present today will go to the front hall." ”

Duo Meizi followed behind, and Shen Jie followed with a calm face, she knew that the day of her reset was not far away.

The group came to the hall, Xuanyuan Che sat in the main seat, and Duo Meizi sat beside him as a matter of course, the eyes and expressions of the two were the same, and they were proud of everyone present.

Getting a look from Shen Jie, the head of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Doctor Qin, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Wang, such as Aunt Yu's death, the old ministers have a great responsibility, it is the old ministers who are not skilled in medicine, and they have killed in vain." ”

Xuanyuan Che didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, today, all the layout is pointing to Sister Duo, how should he exonerate Sister Duo?

After a long time, Shen Jie said: "Imperial Doctor Qin, get up quickly, I don't blame you for this." The tone was so pitying, gentle, that anyone praised her for her general knowledge.

Imperial Physician Qin was even more energetic, knelt on the ground and confessed bitterly, and several tears were squeezed out of his eyes: "The prince is not the old minister's this, he should go into the house to treat Princess Duo together, the old minister will resign from all his official positions after he goes back, and return to his hometown to retire, and the old minister will feel guilty for a lifetime." ”

Duo Meizi gave him a blank look, is it so serious, Y's, isn't this pointing the finger at herself, and she pretended to say something to blame and resign.

Xuanyuan Che drank a cup of tea, his eyes were sharp, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Since Imperial Physician Qin has said so, the responsibility lies with you, then the king will allow you to resign from the post of imperial physician and go back to your hometown to retire." ”

When Imperial Doctor Qin heard this, his head was shocked, he didn't expect that King Yu was really a master who did not play cards according to the convention, in case he really resigned and returned to his hometown, what should he do if his family had no work, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and he asked Shen Jie for help with old tears in his eyes.

Shen Jie gave him a reassuring look, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, what does this matter have to do with Imperial Physician Qin, he was not in the back room at that time, besides, so many people in the emperor and the palace concubine rely on Imperial Physician Qin." ”

Also present were the apprentices and colleagues of Imperial Physician Qin in the Imperial Hospital, all of whom pleaded one after another: "Think twice, the appointment and dismissal of Imperial Physician Tai Hospital must go through the emperor, besides, Imperial Physician Qin's recent deployment of the Tranquility Incense Emperor is very comfortable." ”

Clear-eyed people knew at a glance that Xuanyuan Che was deliberately protecting Duo Meizi, so he didn't dare to point out that she was not for the time being, Shen Jie was secretly anxious in her heart, all the layouts were foolproof, and she couldn't drop the chain at the most important time. However, if this matter is brought up by her, some intentions will be obvious, and then the effect will be reversed.

Imperial Physician Qin knew that according to Shen Jie and the power of Lin Defei in the palace, there was no problem in protecting himself, besides, he was involved in everything, so he said: "King Yu, this matter is indeed the old minister's inconsiderate consideration, but it was not the old minister who really killed Aunt Ruyu?" ”

"Then who do you think, isn't it that you are old and dizzy and think that it is difficult for this king to be the master of Yuwangfu, and you don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?" Xuanyuan Che said coldly, and slapped the cup in his hand on the table.

Now that it has been said that this is the part, Imperial Physician Qin has completely offended Sister Duo, seeing that Sister Duo looked calm, she was angry and did not fight anywhere, and hugged her fists and said: "Lord Wang, so far, the old minister has to say, since Aunt Ruyu was in the Gu, you have not thoroughly investigated, when Aunt Ruyu solved the Gu, Aunt Ruyu was thirsty, and it was the water that was knocked over, so she would run out desperately and jump into the lotus pond to drown, from beginning to end, the prince did not investigate carefully, but now, it is clear that the old minister is a scapegoat." ”

Imperial Physician Qin's apprentice said again: "Yes, Lord Wang, Imperial Physician Qin's words are indeed contrary to his words. ”

"Presumptuous, when the Yuwang Mansion needs your hospital to put the beak, get out of here." Xuanyuan Che was furious, was it so difficult for him to protect someone.

Seeing this, Sister Duo slowly spoke: "The person that Imperial Doctor Qin has been alluding to, but this concubine? ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister is talking about the murderer, whoever admits it is who." Imperial Physician Qin also learned to play tricks.

Shen Jie secretly applauded on the side, and hurriedly came out to do peacemakers: "Lord Wang, it's better to check the matter well, it's better to find out the truth and still have Concubine Duo's innocence, after all, Aunt Ruyu has been serving the prince for many years, and it was given to the prince by the queen, so I have to give the queen an explanation, besides, Imperial Doctor Qin is a big celebrity around the emperor." ”

Duo Meizi smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Che in danger: "Lord Wang, since Concubine Shen, oh no, since the Shen family has already said so, then let's check carefully, the concubine is not afraid of crooked shadows." ”

Xuanyuan Che looked at Sister Duo with a righteous face, originally thought that she did the thing, and deliberately concealed it for her, but now looking at her appearance, she believed Sister Duo even more in her heart, and nodded her head as agreed.

Xi Nu and the little maid who was waiting to drink water just now also came back, listening to the interrogation on the side, Xuanyuan Che looked at the people present, and then asked coldly: "When did Aunt Ruyu have a stomachache?" ”

"Back to the prince, I started to say that I was uncomfortable after having breakfast this morning, and the people who were waiting saw it and saw ......it," replied to Aunt Ruyu's wife, Mrs. Zhang, who was waiting.

Xuanyuan Che was most tired of others talking halfway, and asked impatiently: "What do you see, say it." ”

"That's right, Mrs. Zhang, just say what you have, and the prince will be the master of everything." Shen Jie said very kindly, as if she was still the master in this palace.

Mrs. Zhang said slowly: "Back to the prince, a red flame mark appeared on my aunt's hand after eating. ”

Duo Meizi's heart trembled, what a conspiracy, knowing that the flame mark is the symbol of the Lan clan, but anyone who is in the Gu will have a mark on their hands, isn't it obvious that they want to get rid of her.

At this time, the women sent by the emperor muttered quietly, Yan Xian, who had always been unable to get along with Mrs. Die, covered her mouth and said disdainfully: "The flame is a sign of the Lan clan's Gu surgery, princess, except for you and your maid who are from the Lan clan, everyone else is innocent." ”

Don't look at Mrs. Shidie, who used to like to have a small fight with Sister Duo, but at a critical time, she spoke: "Yan Xian, the crime of slandering the princess is not small, not to mention that the matter has not been clarified." ”

Duo Meizi waved her hand, signaled Mrs. Shidie not to speak, and shouted coldly: "You must have fallen into the Gu of my Lan clan?" ”

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said with certainty: "Yes, there are flames on it." ”

"Master, now, please don't be in a hurry to bury Aunt Ruyu, please come to the autopsy with a reassuring person." Duo Meizi said calmly towards Xuanyuan Che's body.

Xiao San'er saw Xuanyuan Che's gesture, and hurriedly went to find a Gu for an autopsy, but at this time, Xi Nu said: "Master, everyone who refines Gu knows that there are three no's for Gu girls to cast Gu techniques, you can't use Gu when you are pregnant, you can't use Gu when you're pregnant, and you can't use Gu when you're confined, and now that the princess is pregnant, you can't refine Gu for a year, otherwise, the fetus will become stillborn or have no heartbeat." ”

Xuanyuan Che heard what Xi Nu said, and beads of sweat appeared in his palms, and fine sweat also appeared on his forehead.

"Concubine Duo, do you know this?" Xuanyuan Che didn't ask anyone else, but turned around and asked Sister Duo, which made Sister Duo feel very strange, and Xuanyuan Che's eyes were flustered.

"The concubine knows it, so she hasn't used Gu magic since she was pregnant, even if she saves people, she is a slave who does it for her." Duo Meizi is kind and smooth, but she secretly thinks in her heart, could it be that there is something wrong with the child?

"Prince, you must help our aunt get justice, it must be the princess who is jealous, recently our aunt often sends food to the princess, the prince and the aunt said a few words, so the princess was jealous and ruthless, obviously the aunt can drink water, but the concubine knocked over the water, this prince and Concubine Shen can see it." The little maid who was waiting for Ruyu knelt and cried, pointing to the girl without hesitation. In the eyes of outsiders, this maid is straightforward and simple-minded, and her mouth is open-mouthed, so her speech is even more convincing.

However, Duo Meizi smiled bitterly in her heart, often with simple thoughts, but those who have the courage to speak out are even more scheming, those are just the appearance of them disguising themselves.

Xuanyuan Che just stared at the belly of the girl, and when he heard the little maid's cry, he turned to shout: "Shut up, you are ashamed to slander the princess." ”

The little maid stopped talking, and the people in the room were silent, but Xuanyuan Che's mind was not on Aunt Ruyu's death at all, but constantly thinking about Duo Mei in his heart.

At this time, the servant also came, kneeling on the ground and describing in detail: "The deceased has the shape of a flame on his left arm, and the five internal organs in his abdomen are dried up, but he did drown. Judging from the corpse, the deceased had indeed been hit by the Gu of the Lan clan before his death. ”
