Rebirth of marriage

"You are spitting nonsense." Cao Shoufu's face was full of anger, as if he had been greatly wronged. "Without any evidence, Mr. Wu just talked nonsense like this. I am very worried about whether Mr. Wu, as the minister of Dali Temple, can handle the case impartially."

"Who said there is no evidence?" Wu Chong looked at him with a cold face.

Cao Shoufu hesitated slightly. He sent people to assassinate King Xiao countless times. Not every time he could do it cleanly without leaving traces, but after all, he had been immersed in the official world for his whole life. He said calmly and calmly, "I have a clear conscience, Ruowu Your Excellency, if you have evidence, just present it."

Wu Chong twitched his lips, "There is really no evidence, but I learned this from Lord Chief Assistant. This morning I heard someone outside the imperial study talking about the matter between Dr. Lin Shulin and your young master.

The lower official then thought about it. Last year, when the Chief Assistant and Young Master Ling appeared at Yuyou Pass, it was just a few days before the snowstorm came. Oh, this is not accurate enough. To be more precise, it was the Young Master who led the people at Yuyou Pass. They squatted in the mountains for half a month hunting white foxes.

The chief minister went to Dirong in the name of looking for his son. Two days before the chief minister left Dirong and returned to Yuyou Pass, the son came out of the mountain. After he came out, he ordered the guard of Yuyou Pass to take him with him. Eat, drink and have fun, everyone in Yuyouguan knows this.

At that time, Dr. Lin was preparing for the opening of the medicine shop. The medicine shop saved countless people during the snowstorm. The people of Yuyouguan must also have deep memories. I dare to ask the chief minister, how did they have the opportunity and time to meet? "

Cao Shoufu did not expect that Wu Chong would mention his trip to Dirong again in the main hall, nor did he expect that he would remember the time so clearly. He smiled and said, "How do I know this? Maybe that woman is greedy for vanity and took advantage of me." I pestered him during the two days when my son was playing."

"Perhaps? So you're not sure what Mr. Shouxing means?" Wu Chong still had no expression, but his tone seemed to be asking questions closely.

Cao Shoufu's face darkened, "Master Wu, what do you mean? This is the court, and matters of state are discussed, not a place for gossiping."

Wu Chong shook his head seriously, "Xiaoguan does not agree with what the chief assistant said. In the eyes of the lower official, King Xiao's life is a national matter, not the gossip said by the chief assistant."

"I'm talking about the woman, not Prince Xiao."

Wu Chong looked confused, "Aren't you talking about King Xiao at first? The chief minister spread rumors about Dr. Lin Shulin, wanted to ruin the reputation of women, and tried to lock Dr. Lin, who could save King Xiao's life, into your house as a concubine. Isn't that right? I hope King Xiao is well?"

"I see. No wonder my son asked me to borrow the Black Feather Guard, saying that someone wanted to intercept Lin Shu and harm the prince's life. It turns out it was you, the chief assistant." Prince Gong answered hurriedly.

His tone was not low, and he couldn't even hide his excitement. There was another person in their team. This Wu Chong seemed to be a dull man, but unexpectedly he was quite sharp-tongued. He would have another helper in future verbal disputes.

"This has never happened before. The guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion did not obey the rules and forced the soldiers guarding the city to open the door. When I found out, I ordered people to interrogate clearly. If there is a young person outside the door, wouldn't it mean that the safety of the city is in danger.

It is even more nonsense to say that I am spreading rumors. There is no smoke without fire, and I have never said that Lin Shu is not allowed to treat Xiao Wang. "Cao Shoufu retorted.

He glared at Prince Gong with a sinister look. Ever since this old dandy came out to play around from time to time, whether it was in the royal study room or in the morning court, they could turn into a situation where they complained or scolded the street.

Why should a person who has been addicted to drinking and sex for decades be a human being? Isn't it good to continue to be a fool?

There was a killing intent in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The person who changed the old man could not be left behind.

"I heard that after the chief assistant and your son were trapped in the snow mountain, all the servants died to protect you. Only you and your son came out of the snow mountain alive. Your son is speechless now. This rumor was not spread by the chief assistant. Who else knows What about Mr. Ling?

I heard that the housekeeper of your house went to the Lin family and wanted to help the young master accept Dr. Lin as his concubine. Why didn't he accept her sooner or later? Why did she accept her when King Xiao needed Dr. Lin's treatment? "

Prince Gong's words reminded Wu Chong that as long as it was true that Lin Shu was treating King Xiao, Cao Shoufu could no longer secretly accept Lin Shu into the Cao Mansion. Regardless of whether the emperor granted them a marriage in the end, it was decided now. The Cao family cannot be allowed to succeed.

Prince Gong touched his chin and clicked his tongue, "In order to deal with Prince Xiao, a grown man who is the chief assistant personally went out to slander a woman's reputation. He has gone to great lengths."

Cao Shoufu had a calm expression on his face, but he was filled with rage in his heart. There were things he could do, but he couldn't say them out loud. As a former Shoufu, it was already unpleasant for him to target a woman. If it was rumored that he was ruining a woman's reputation by speaking out again, , how will the world see him, and how will he establish his authority in front of the people below.

He could no longer tangle with Wu Chong and Prince Gong, otherwise something might happen, so he bowed to the emperor and said righteously, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. The woman you want to accept is my son Chengwang." mean.

Although my son was used as a trick by that woman, he was still innocent. My wife did not agree with it before. How could anyone take a concubine before marrying his wife? I can't stop my child from making trouble.

My wife then ordered the housekeeper to go to the Lin family to propose marriage. The Lin family never mentioned that she wanted to treat Prince Xiao, let alone how good her medical skills were. Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is so noble and noble, you must not let a woman do anything wrong. "

"Your Majesty." Wu Chong knelt down and said, "Lin Shu is the daughter of Imperial Physician Lin. Her medical skills are passed down from Imperial Physician Lin to her husband. I was saved by her 11 years ago. At that time, she was only a six-year-old child, and she was already able to skillfully Treat your wounds.

She was the only doctor in the exile area, and everyone in the exile area knew how good her medical skills were. I heard that when the chief assistant and his son went to Yuyouguan, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang was assassinated and almost lost his life. He was also saved by Dr. Lin. The first assistant It is impossible for your Lordship not to have heard this. "

"Your Majesty, I was in a hurry to find my son and really didn't have the energy to inquire about other things. It is unjust to say that I deliberately prevented Lin Shu from treating King Xiao." Cao Shoufu planned to change the subject, "Not to mention the female medical skills of the Lin family. Why, there is no rule without rules. The guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion forced open the city gate and regarded the laws of Daxia as nothing. Please punish him severely to rectify the situation."

The old censor slowly walked out of the queue, "Your Majesty, the old minister and his wife were fortunate to be treated by Dr. Lin during their exile, so they did not die in the cold epidemic. Her medical skills are indeed no less than those of her father, Dr. Lin.

There are only three princes under your Majesty's knees, and the life of the prince is at stake. The old minister asked your majesty to put the prince's life as the most important thing, and let other matters go first. "

The Duke of Zhenguo also came out and said, "I implore your majesty to put the king's life first."

Wu Chong and Prince Gong hurriedly followed suit.

Everyone in Cao's party was waiting for Cao Shoufu's signal. Cao Shoufu gritted his teeth and had no choice but to bow his head.

The emperor listened silently to the whole story, and gradually became clear in his heart. Wu Chong and the old censor both recognized Lin Shu's medical skills, and thought that Lin Shu's medical skills were indeed good.

When Cao Shoufu was in Yuyouguan, he also knew about the assassination of King Xiao. Afterwards, when Cao Shoufu came back from the snow mountain, Cao's party impeached King Xiao for not saving him until he died. King Xiao thought that he was about to die after being assassinated. They blocked their mouths because they were unable to save others.

If it was really Lin Shu who saved King Xiao that time, then Cao Shoufu had sinister intentions when he wanted to help his son take Lin Shu as his concubine.

At the same time, he was also thinking, if Lin Shu's medical skills were really that good, would Xiao Wang's sudden critical illness have something to do with her?He has interrogated all the people that the third and fourth children brought that day, and no one admitted that they were against Xiao Wang's opponent. It was most likely a play directed and acted by Xiao Wang.

However, these are not important anymore. The old censor is right, nothing is as important as the prince's life.

That was his only bloodline, how could he really watch something happen to him.

Just as he was about to speak, the eunuch came to report, "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang has arrived."
