As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was silent.

The first to react was Wang Jinglong, who jumped to his feet and roared: "You lie!" Your Majesty, he lied! He was deceived by Xiaomin from Lu Yun's mansion, and Xiaomin caught him with his own hands! ”

Before he finished shouting, Zhu Houzhao had already picked up the teacup and threw it at him, the thin porcelain cup hit his head, and the blood flowed immediately, and the warm tea soup splashed all over his body.

"Are you playing me like a monkey?" Zhu Houzhao was already furious, it was not enough to smash the teacup, and he had to rush up and kick him again.

Miao Kui and Liu Jin hurriedly stopped: "Long live!" Don't do it, but don't hurt the dragon! ”

Zhu Houzhao's chest rose and fell violently, he was really angry, and he gasped for a while before he eased up, and waved his hand to General Dahan: "Beat this Wang Jinglong with twenty boards, throw him into the prison, and let the Criminal Department judge the crime!" ”

"Xiaomin is wronged, what Xiaomin said is true, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jinglong was dragged away, he only felt very aggrieved, howling all the way from the imperial study to the noon door, and suddenly found a familiar figure outside the door.

It was Wang Qiong, who hurried to the Forbidden City, and as soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw Wang Jinglong bleeding profusely and being dragged out like a pig by two Han generals.

"Father! Father! ”

Seeing the life-saving straw, Wang Jinglong struggled desperately.

Over there, Wang Qiong carried his shirt and rushed over at a trot all the way to stop the two Han generals: "Few, dare to ask the dog what crime he has committed, why do you treat each other like this?" ”

Seeing the presence of the Ministry of Rites, the Han general still respected it, and one of them saluted and said: "The lowly rank is given the holy decree to take Wang Jinglong to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion for execution, beat twenty boards, and then throw him into the prison!" ”

Wang Qiong's eyes darkened for a few breaths: "...... Do you know why His Majesty did this? ”

"Your Majesty's holy judgment is reasonable, and the lowly rank is just acting on orders, and he does not dare to speculate on the holy will." Saying these words, the etiquette was exhausted, and the Han general continued to grab Wang Jinglong's arm and was about to drag him away.

Wang Jinglong was so frightened that he wailed constantly, and tears and blood flowed straight down: "Father save me!" Father save me! ”

Wang Qiong was annoyed and distressed.

Before he came, he knew that there must be a disaster, but with his face, the emperor should not punish him too much, and let his son have a long memory, and he will be deceived again in the future.

But it actually got to the point of letting the criminal department discuss the crime?

Seeing that Wang Jinglong was being dragged farther and farther away, Wang Qiong gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and called the housekeeper who was following the sedan chair: "Hurry up, you take my name card and go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion immediately, find Lord Yin Lin Qilin of the Mansion, and beg him to take care of the young master!" Fast! ”

The butler said yes, turned over and set off.

……

Lu Qi was calmly waiting at home, Cheng Yanshan had already brought Chen Yin'er to the imperial village, and she stayed in the capital with two personal soldiers.

Qian Ning had already sent a message for Mu Bin, and the missing Yun Qing was found, but was brought into the palace by Wang Jinglong in a carriage. As for the owner of the medical hall mentioned by Lu Qi, Qian Ning is leading people to secretly search for it.

This responded to Lu Qi's speculation, things have reached the most dangerous crossroads, Lu Qi doesn't know what will happen next, he can only take one step at a time, but the mastermind behind this chess game is hidden in the fog and can't see clearly.

A petal fell on the chess game, and Lu Qi stirred the chess pieces in the bowl: "Fortunately, Mu Bin will not give up on me easily, as long as there is first-hand information from the eunuch and Jinyiwei, there will still be a chance to turn the tables." ”

Suddenly, I heard a burst of shouting from the alley outside the courtyard, and I could vaguely hear scolding voices such as "harm our young master" and "blame you for being raised by a son of a bitch", from far to near.

"What's going on out there?"

The pro-soldier guarding the door came in and clenched his fists: "My lord, there is a group of ruffians and hooligans chasing a scholar in the alley outside, and the lowly duty has dispersed them." ”

Lu Qi didn't care.

……

And at this time, the palace.

Wang Qiong, who was anxious, didn't care about wiping the sweat on her head, and rushed to the old place to meet Miao Kui.

"Old Miao!" Wang Qiong bowed.

Miao Kui hurriedly avoided: "Lao Wang, why did you and my township party make this big gift?" ”

Straightened up, Wang Qiong's eyes were already full of tears: "Alas! The old man is here for the dog's business. The unfilial son was falsely accused of the court officials, and was put in prison by His Majesty...... Wouldn't it be better for the old man to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man! ”

Miao Kui, who was still angry, was also a little moved when he saw his old friend's expression: "Jinglong is confused, but now His Majesty is angry, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to use it if I go to intercede again." ”

Wang Qiong burst into tears: "The old man just asked to see him, but His Majesty only ordered the eunuch to drive him away, and he refused to see the old man at all, so how can he intercede!" ”

After crying for a while, Wang Qiong suddenly raised her head: "No! ”

"If the third Jinglong is convicted, it will inevitably affect the career of the eldest and second eldest...... No, no! Lao Miao, do you know any other way to slow down the matter of the crime? ”

Miao Kui thought carefully when he heard this: "This matter has reached the heavens, if you want to let the criminal department slow down a little, then I am afraid that only if there is a turning point in the case." ”

"Case turn?" Wang Qiong clapped her hands, and her eyes suddenly lit up again: "Yes, let's go check first to see if what Tong Zimo said is true!" ”

……

The Imperial Pharmacy is located behind the Tai Hospital, which stores the royal medicines and has traditionally been closed to outsiders.

"It's just you, Gonggong Miao, if someone else wants to check this imperial recipe, it must not be possible." The admiral eunuch of the imperial pharmacy took out a thick book.

Miao Kui stuffed two silver tickets into his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"Why should this be the case between you and me?" Having said that, the admiral eunuch twisted the silver ticket in his sleeve, and his old face smiled like a flower.

Miao Kui came out with the book, Wang Qiong was already in a hurry, and the two hurriedly found a small corner and opened the thick book.

It recorded in detail the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician for the emperor every time, and the two quickly found the most recent prescription prescribed by Gao Tinghe and Liu Wentai for the emperor.

Wang Qiong has also read a few medical books, but it will be difficult for him to find fault with the prescription, so he can only copy the prescription and ask the doctor outside.

There is a ready-made doctor in Shangshu Mansion, and after reading it, he quickly came to the result: "There is nothing wrong with this Gao doctor's prescription."

It's just that Dr. Liu's recipe, somehow, used too much ephedra. Ephedra is violent, commonly known as the medicine of tigers and wolves, and must be used with caution.

The home of dignitaries and nobles uses more gentle medicine, and they dare not use this medicine more in order to seek stability. ”

The reason for the sudden death of the emperor may have been found, but Wang Qiong was not happy at all.

waved off the doctor, and Wang Qiong sat alone for a long time.

The gray hair fell from the inside of the hat, and Wang Qiong was already tired after half a day's hard work.

His heart was stormy, thunder was roaring, and half a lifetime of faith, the saint's teachings, and his son's wails were intertwined, making the spirited old man stand up, as if he had aged ten years at once.

The face of the first emperor, Emperor Hongzhi, appeared in my mind again.

The benevolent son of heaven, who has always had few urgent words to his courtiers, he has a spirit in heaven, and he will definitely forgive him, right?

Wang Qiong knelt on the ground and bowed to God: "My emperor, you also have a son, and the old minister also has a son, please allow the old minister to lie and save his son, and the old minister will continue to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life, and make grass and rings!" ”

After worshipping, Wang Qiong wiped her tears and picked up two pieces of paper from the table.

It didn't take long for Wang Qiong to return to the palace.

"How?"

Miao Kui was so anxious that he was walking around the house, and when he saw Wang Qiong coming back, he hurriedly came up and asked.

Wang Qiong took a deep breath: "Gao Tinghe's prescription prescribes too much ephedra, this is a tiger and wolf medicine, I am afraid it is the source of the death of the first emperor." ”

"What?!" Miao Kui Huoran stood up: "Gao Tinghe is really ...... Is Lu Yun's rescue of Gao Tinghe also related to this matter? It's a pity that I was transferred out of the palace at that time, otherwise how could I let those thieves do such a rebellious thing! ”

Wang Qiong sat calmly at the table: "Regardless of whether it is related or not, since he has rescued the fugitive, then Jinglong's case will have a chance to turn around." ”

"Even if the fugitive himself doesn't admit it, as long as someone admits it, I heard that there was a case received from Shuntianfu, and it was related to the fugitive, and the order to send it may come in handy." Miao Kui ran out excitedly to call someone.

Wang Qiong, on the other hand, used the fastest speed to disassemble the wool of the book, took off the original two squares, and replaced them with two in the sleeve.

After doing all this, Wang Qiong went to the imperial study.
