Chapter 299: Prison
When the emperor heard the news, he was very happy, because smallpox is also known as a pox, and the person who survived smallpox was naturally a rich and noble person, so the emperor was naturally happy, because he had another chess piece in his hand, and it was an extremely useful chess piece.
And with such a result, Zhao Anshun, the doctor of Zhao, is naturally indispensable, he is the fourth prince who has cured smallpox, and the rewards and the like are naturally needless to say, in addition to ten thousand taels of gold and thousands of hectares of fertile land, the emperor also let Zhao Anshun not have to pass the examination of the Tai Hospital, and directly enter the Tai Hospital.
It's just that this official position was pushed away by Zhao Anshun, and Zhao Anshun said that this credit is not his, but someone else. In this way, under the Golden Palace, because of Zhao Anshun's next words, there was a storm again,
It's really a wave of unevenness.
This time, the eldest brother Fang Jingshu was actually imprisoned by the emperor's decree!
I heard that the reason why Fang Jingshu was imprisoned by the emperor's decree was because the Bai family's murder tragedy nineteen years ago was placed on top of the Golden Palace.
Zhao Anshun said on the Golden Palace that he was able to save the lives of His Royal Highness the Four Princes this time, all because of the merits of the prescription left by the White Imperial Physician back then, as for the origin of the prescription, it was naturally admitted by Mr. Ye, who had the name of a righteous brother with the White Imperial Doctor, and he admitted that the prescription he gave to Zhao Anshun to save His Royal Highness the Four Princes was from his hand, and he obtained it from the hands of the White Imperial Physician twenty years ago.
The tragedy of the Bai family's annihilation was caused by the fact that the first emperor asked the white imperial physician to secretly develop the elixir of immortality, but Cao Xiangye slandered the white imperial physician for dedicating this elixir of immortality to the king of Nanyuan in the foreign state, and said that the white imperial physician deduced in front of the emperor that it was not successfully developed but deceived the saint, so the first emperor took the so-called evidence of Cao Xiangye, and listened to the one-sided words of the emperor who was still the prince at the time, and convicted the Bai family of bullying the monarch and the two crimes of fornicating with foreign countries, and issued an order overnight. Let Cao Xiangye and the leader of the Royal Forest Army, Fang Zheng, surround the Baifu, so as to kill all the more than 360 people up and down the Baifu, leaving no chickens and dogs.
In this way, Fang Jingshu thought that he was very sure in the Golden Palace, and he took out all the testimonies of all the old people who had something to do with this matter back then, proving that the Bai Imperial Physician did not deceive the first emperor back then, and the Bai family did not develop any so-called elixir of immortality, but was developing a method that could prevent smallpox and cure smallpox.
This recipe was not successfully developed back then, and Mr. Ye also received the dying instructions of Imperial Physician Bai, so he secretly carried out this matter according to his last words.
Now, after so many years, Mr. Ye finally fulfilled the last wish of Imperial Doctor Bai according to the records left by Imperial Doctor Bai, and he finally succeeded in developing a method that can prevent smallpox. The results are naturally needless to say, and the improvement of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is the best proof of this.
And since the Bai family did not develop the elixir of immortality at all, but was developing a prescription to prevent smallpox, then what was dedicated to the king of the Southern Courtyard of a foreign country was naturally a non-existent thing, and it was a crime to be added to it, and it was not enough to be believed at all.
Therefore, Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye were both on top of the Golden Palace, and when they came out with these words and evidence, they naturally attracted the shock of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
You must know that it has been 20 years since this incident, and no one thought that the sensational case of the Bai family's extermination would be made public in the Golden Palace in this way, and what is even more unexpected is that this tragedy was caused by Cao Xiangye back then, which made all the ministers in the court hold their breath, waiting for the emperor to deal with Cao Xiangye's slander back then.
But here, all of a sudden, things have taken a big turn.
That Fang Jingshu only knew that this matter was caused by Cao Xiangye, and it was he who slandered the Bai family that caused such a tragic tragedy in the Bai family, so he dared to discuss with Mr. Ye Lao to let Zhao Anshun treat the smallpox disease of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and took advantage of the emperor's reward Zhao Anshun to heal His Royal Highness the Four Princes, and proposed this matter to correct the Bai family's unjust case, but he never imagined that the person who played the most important role in the Bai family tragedy back then was not Cao Xiangye, but the current emperor.
Therefore, at this time, no matter what Fang Jingshu said to Mr. Ye, and no matter what life-saving grace the Fang family had for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the emperor was furious on the Golden Palace, and directly convicted the two of them of slandering the important ministers of the court, and angrily accused Mr. Ye of hiding Fang Jingshu's identity for so long, secretly helping the remnants of the Bai family to act, and committing the crime of defrauding the king. In this way, the emperor took the two of them from the Golden Palace on the spot and put them directly in the heavenly prison, and no one was allowed to visit them without his holy decree.
And the emperor's attitude, this abnormal behavior, was beyond the expectations of Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye, they never thought that the emperor would be so partial to Cao Xiangye, when all the evidence was so clear, the emperor was still partial to Cao Xiangye, this, when Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye were imprisoned in the prison, the two of them still couldn't understand, couldn't understand why the emperor was abnormal, and kept saying that the two of them slandered Cao Xiangye, but they didn't look at the so-called evidence.
It's just that Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye don't understand, but Cao Xiangye knows it very well, he knows that as long as the emperor reigns for a day, no matter what he does, the emperor will open up to him, because the emperor has the biggest handle in his hands, and that handle can make the emperor roll down from the throne directly, as long as he discloses the news to the world.
Therefore, Cao Xiangye at this time is not worried about the ups and downs outside, he knows that this time, Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye can only admit it, no matter how capable they are, no matter how powerful the background is, as long as the emperor does not let go, they will only have a dead end, and he can naturally sit back and relax.
Thinking of Cao Xiangye like this, but he didn't think of one thing, the Aunt Yi who had been waiting for revenge for a long time, the wife of the white imperial doctor, when she learned that the emperor favored Cao Xiangye like this, she knew that the Bai family had no possibility of being rehabilitated, and that the only bloodline of the Bai family was also very auspicious, and it was very likely that she would die in the hands of Cao Xiangye.
This desperate Aunt Yi, when she complained about God's injustice, angrily scolded the emperor for being a faint king, and did not redress the Bai family's grievances, but instead helped Cao Xiangye, the old thief, she took risks and decided to take another path.
Since she has clearly known that there is no possibility for the Bai family to redress their grievances, where is this Aunt Yi willing to take the road of dealing with Cao Xiangye openly, she is full of anger and hatred at this time, she knows that it is time for her to personally end this sinful Xiangye Mansion.
At this time, Aunt Yi thought that when her only son had not yet gone to Huangquan Road, she would send the Cao family to hell first.
So she took advantage of the fact that the Seven Elders' wives were not paying attention, and secretly sneaked into the pharmacy of the Seven Elders' wives and stole the colorless and tasteless water that the poisonous lady cherished and was most proud of. That's right, it's a kind of water, a kind of water that has been refined and condensed from the sea, and it only takes one drop, one drop is enough to kill a person.
And at this time, Cao Xiangye, the Cao family never thought that Xiangye's mansion was hiding such a terrible scourge, and this scourge was Aunt Yi, the life-saving benefactor who had just saved Cao Xiangye some time ago.
At that time, after Aunt Yi appeared to save Cao Xiangye, because of the instructions of the Seven Elders and his wife, she did her best to treat Cao Xiangye, not because she was bent on revenge and approached Cao Xiangye and wanted to poison Cao Xiangye's idea, so, she took care of Cao Xiangye so loyally, even if Cao Xiangye was too suspicious, she gradually let down her guard against Aunt Yi.
In addition, he was naturally in a very good mood when he came back about Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye being imprisoned, and ordered the Cao family to hold a family banquet to celebrate it lively.
But at the celebratory banquet, no one knew that there was a person who was secretly snickering, her eyes were firmly fixed on Cao Xiangfu, watching everyone in the Cao family drink the wine contaminated with highly poisonous water.
And the result is naturally obvious, those people in the Cao family drank those highly poisonous wines, and soon one by one they held their stomachs and felt pain, and their bodies suddenly became swollen, just like bulging pockets, and they were quickly broken and collapsed.
When they fell, they looked like they had died extremely miserably, their faces were unrecognizable, and their bodies were so corroded that they could no longer see who was who.
And Aunt Yi saw these enemies die in front of her one by one, she laughed wildly, she poured all the tung oil that had been prepared long ago into the courtyard, lit the torches, and ignited the fallen corpses.
And she stood there by herself, smiling wildly as she lit a fire.
On the other side, after the poisonous lady found that the bottle of poisonous water was missing, the husband and wife hurriedly chased towards Xiangye's mansion, and when they chased over, things were already out of control.
In the raging fire, the husband and wife watched in amazement as Aunt Yi was buried in the fire along with this sinful Xiangye Mansion.
And at this time, no one noticed that under the dilapidated and desolate courtyard of Xiangye's mansion, under the mottled wall, a woman with a black and gray face came out of a dog hole.
This woman's hands and feet were covered with shrubs on the side and marks of gravel scratches, but at this time she didn't feel pain at all, she stared at the Xiangye Mansion burning in the flames, and her eyes were full of horror that could not be concealed.
And this person is none other than Cao Xiangye's daughter-in-law, Cao Yuxiang.
