Chapter 152: Gambling with Life

On the second day, as soon as Situ Sheng entered the Jinluan Palace, he found that the atmosphere was unusual. He swept his eyes to His Royal Highness's ministers, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that even Fang Zheng, who had always been in the limelight, was quietly staying in the corner and bowing his head, as if he was asleep.

"Ministers, there is a morning play, and there is no retreat!"

As soon as the eunuch finished shouting to His Royal Highness, someone immediately shouted: "Initiate the Holy Lord, the minister has a book to play!"

Situ Sheng looked up, but saw that it was none other than Dugu Qiannan, so he asked, "Dugu Qiannan, how is your father's health?"

Dugu Tiannan held the ivory wat board in his hand, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, my father's health is no longer in serious trouble, please rest assured that the emperor!"

"Well, that's good!" Situ Sheng stroked his beard, nodded, and then said, "By the way, you said that you have a book to play, what is it for?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister is to play the case of the public trial of the palace!"

Dugu Tiannan looked up and replied.

"Oh, Yan Long, what's going on with the public trial?

Situ Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned to look at Yan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Qin was instructed to hide in the palace and wait for an opportunity to murder the emperor's heir has been ascertained, and the evidence is conclusive, but because Concubine Qin is dead, the case has come to an end for the time being. The people involved in the case have been put in prison and are waiting for the emperor to send them down!"

"Is it true? Since the evidence is conclusive, it must never be forgiven! Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime, and all those involved in the case will be beheaded to set an example!"

Situ Sheng raised his eyebrows and gave the order.

"Obey the order!"

Yan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately received the order.

After a pause, Situ Sheng looked at Dugu Tiannan and said, "Since this case has been concluded, why are you going to play it? Do you have any opinion on the public trial?"

Dugu Tiannan immediately bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, it's not that Weichen has an opinion on the public trial, but that Concubine Qin broke out before she died, my sister didn't die of miscarriage, but was murdered!"

"What? is that true?" Situ Sheng looked surprised.

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't dare to say anything! But when Concubine Qin died, many people in the palace were present, and she swore that although she drugged my sister to have a miscarriage, it was not enough to be fatal! And the reason why my sister died was because Xuanyuan Wuzhen misunderstood that my sister was jealous and murdered her son, so she deliberately instigated His Royal Highness King Cheng to beat my sister to death!"

As soon as Dugu Tiannan's words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

How is this possible?

When Princess Cheng died in childbirth, King Cheng was heartbroken, how could it be that he killed Princess Cheng?

"Dugu Qiannan! Without evidence, based on the nonsense of a sinner, how can you slander His Royal Highness Cheng like this? You have to think clearly about how much of a sin it is to slander the prince!"

Before anyone else could speak, Baili Feng was the first to stand up and reprimand angrily.

"If you want evidence, it's very simple! As long as the emperor allows the Criminal Department to open the coffin for an autopsy, the truth will inevitably be revealed! Whether my sister died of a miscarriage and blood collapse, or whether she was murdered will be known at a glance!"

Dugu Tingnan was not afraid and faced Situ Sheng.

"Open the coffin for an autopsy? Dugu Qiannan, are you crazy? Princess Cheng is the emperor's own wife, you actually want to dig up the grave and dig the grave? It's a big rebellion!"

At this time, another person stood up to refute it, it was none other than Xuanyuan Changying! He glared at Dugu Qiannan, and there was still a thick anger in his voice.

"That's right! Opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy is not a trivial matter, but you can't act recklessly because of a little chasing after the wind and shadows!"

"Well, this matter needs to be carefully considered! The dead are respected, and if you don't have a certain certainty, you should not move the grave lightly. ”

The courtiers also had a lot of discussions, but most of them were opposed.

Situ Shengli glanced at the audience, and soon let the noise in the main hall disappear.

He snorted lightly, and then looked at Dugu Tiannan and said: "Dugu Tiannan, do you know how big a deal it is to open the coffin and conduct the autopsy? If you don't have other evidence to prove the authenticity of this matter, then don't mention the matter of the coffin opening and autopsy!"

Seeing that Situ Sheng really dismissed it, Baili Feng and Xuanyuan Chang were secretly happy, it seems that Dugu Tiannan's performance this time will not be fruitful!

"Emperor Qiqi, in addition to what Concubine Qin said before her death, the minister also has an important piece of evidence, but it is inevitable that someone will destroy the evidence, and the minister can't say it now! As long as the emperor graciously allows the coffin to be opened for an autopsy, the minister will naturally present the evidence at that time!"

Just when Baili Feng and Xuanyuan Changying secretly rejoiced, Dugu Tiannan took a step forward and bowed down.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other for a while.

Is there any evidence that Dugu Qiannan actually had? Could it be that Princess Feicheng's death was indeed victimized? This is simply incredible!

"Dugu Qiannan, I know that you have a deep relationship with Princess Cheng's sister and brother, and her sudden death has dealt a big blow to your Dugu family! I also know that you have a grudge against King Cheng, and I think that King Cheng did not take good care of your sister! But you can't just lie and slander King Cheng because you are angry! I can give you permission to open the coffin for an autopsy, but you must make a military order, if the results of the autopsy prove that King Cheng is innocent, you must bear the charge of slandering the prince, are you willing?"

Situ Sheng pondered for a long time, and finally spoke, but as soon as his words fell, everyone in His Highness had different expressions!

The emperor actually agreed to open the coffin for an autopsy in Dugu's south?

If the autopsy proves that King Cheng is guilty, I am afraid that King Cheng's position will not be preserved!

But if it is proved that King Cheng is not guilty, then Dugu Tiannan will definitely die, because slandering the prince is a capital crime!

Therefore, this is a game of life and life, whoever loses, who dies!

Just when everyone was pinching a cold sweat for Dugu Tannan, Dugu Tannan replied proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order, if it is proved that King Cheng and Concubine Xuanyuan are not guilty, the minister is willing to die to repay the grace of the saint!"

After all, kneeling down is a prostration.

His Highness suddenly gasped! If this Dugu Tiannan is either out of the way, he must have important evidence in his hand!

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Changying and Bailifeng's faces became unsightly, if Dugu Tiannan really held any important evidence, it would be bad!

"Your Majesty, please think twice! The impact of the open coffin autopsy is very great, and if you don't get it right, it will destroy the luck of our Yaori Dynasty, so you must consider it carefully!"

Baili Feng hurriedly stepped forward to admonish again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, opening the coffin for an autopsy is extremely disrespectful to the deceased, in case it causes resentment, I am afraid that the feng shui of our Yao Ri Kingdom will be hindered!"

Xuanyuan often wins and tries his best to persuade him.

Situ Sheng looked at Dugu Tiannan, who was kneeling under His Highness, and then looked at the others, and then his gaze fell on the micro-living candle.

"Weisheng Taifu, you have always understood the theory of feng shui luck, in your opinion, is it feasible to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Wei Sheng Candle lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if he was silently reciting something, and then raised his head and said: "The emperor's golden mouth and jade words, since what he has said, naturally he should not change it! But the opening of the coffin and the autopsy is indeed an obstacle to the luck of the dynasty, especially since the defendant is still a prince of the dynasty! Emperor, Wei Chen has calculated, three days later is an auspicious day, there are no taboos, if the coffin is allowed to be opened on that day, then it doesn't matter!"

"Okay! Then it's decided! Dugu leaned south, immediately made a military order, and opened the coffin for autopsy in three days!"

Situ Sheng really adopted Wei Shengzhu's opinion, and after giving the order, he looked at the ministers and said, "Since this matter is related to the prince, I will come to the scene in three days to discern the truth!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Dugu went south, he immediately rushed home, wanting to tell his father the good news.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yonghe holding a bowl of soup and medicine, and was about to walk into his father's room, Dugu Tiannan couldn't help frowning.

In the past few days, Min Qingrou has come to Dugu Mansion every day, although she is plain clothes, but she is still eye-catching.

"Yonghe, I'll come!"

Dugu Tiannan walked over and took the decoction in Yonghe's hand.

"Uncle is back!"

Yonghe blessed the body.

"Well, how is my father?" asked Dugu Qiannan.

"Don't worry, one day is better than one day! Lord Dugu is strong and healthy, and this little trauma will be fine soon!"

Yonghe replied with a smile.

Dugu Tiannan nodded, and suddenly asked again: "She...... In the house?"

The woman in Dugu Tannan's mouth naturally refers to Min Qingrou.

Yonghe nodded, "The master was afraid that Lord Dugu would be bored, so he took a copy of "Persona" from the study to explain to the adult, and the two of them can talk about speculation!"

"Well, you can rest for a while, I'll bring the medicine in!"

Dugu Tannan gestured to Yonghe, and then pushed the door with the medicine bowl and entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard Dugu Yu's deep low laughter, and Dugu leaned south to follow the prestige, and saw his father half-leaning on the bed in the inner room, with a soft cushion behind him, while Min Qingrou was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hand, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was explaining something.

Her voice is low and soft, and it is very nice. This picture, this scene, made Dugu Tiannan a little trance-like, as if he saw that year, his father was sick and bedridden, and his sister was waiting carefully by the bedside.

Dugu Tingnan watched quietly, and suddenly didn't want to break this familiar atmosphere.

"Nan'er, are you back, why don't you come in?"

Dugu Yu soon found Dugu Tiannan who was standing outside, and greeted him with a smile.

Dugu Qiannan came back to his senses at this time, walked over with the decoction, and said softly: "Dad, it's time to drink the medicine!"

Min Qingrou put down the book in her hand, naturally took the medicine bowl in Dugu Tiannan's hand, scooped up a spoonful, and carefully sent it to Dugu Yu's mouth while blowing it gently.

"Come on, drink the medicine!

Min Qingrou's movements were gentle, which made Duguyu smile again.

"You girl, my hands are fine, I can drink medicine by myself, you don't have to work in the future!"

Now I am serving you for the moon, and it is only natural for my daughter to serve her father! If you are polite to me again, I will be unhappy!"

"Okay, okay! I'll stop talking, okay?"

Duguyu opened his mouth and drank the decoction fed by Min Qingrou one by one. After drinking the medicine, Min Qingrou put down the medicine bowl and took out a silk handkerchief to carefully wipe the medicine stains on the corner of Duguyu's mouth.

Dugu Yu looked at the well-behaved girl in front of him, and suddenly some heat welled up in his eyes, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally blurted out: "How good it would be if you were really my daughter......"

Min Qingrou wiped her hands for a moment, and Dugu Yu also realized that he had said something presumptuous, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Hey, people are old, and they think a lot, don't mind!"

Min Qingrou's lowered eyes also had a hint of tears, but she quickly suppressed her excitement.

"Lord Dugu, if you don't mind, just treat me as your daughter!

"Okay! good!" Duguyu's voice choked, turned around, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
