The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

"put."

Shen Jing'an coldly withdrew his gaze from Concubine Xian's face and said something to the eunuchs holding mice.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The Grand Tutor took a step forward, raised his hand and bowed, his expression stern.

The eunuchs paused again as they grabbed Haozi's hands.

Shen Jing'an glanced at the Taifu, his teacher in his childhood.

More than ten years have passed in a flash. He has a cold personality and speaks very little. He did not communicate much with the tutor when he was a child, so their relationship was not deep, but it was not too distant either.

However, since when, the Grand Tutor no longer had the same admiration for him as before, and instead gradually became more disappointed in him.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be shortly after Concubine Xian married him.

Perhaps it was because he failed to gain the favor of Concubine Xian, so he was disappointed in himself.

But he was his mentor after all, and he always kept that friendship in his heart.

It was precisely because of this that he tolerated Concubine Xian.

He originally didn't want to call the tutor over today, but if he didn't, how would the tutor know what had become of his daughter?

He didn't want to be accused of being cold-blooded.

"Go ahead."

Shen Jing'an finally agreed to his words.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, is what Concubine Xian said true?"

The Grand Tutor looked directly into Shen Jingan's eyes, his old face firm and stern.

This was the first time he looked directly into Shen Jing'an's eyes after Shen Jing'an ascended the throne, and he displayed the aura of a grand tutor and Shen Jing'an's mentor.

Only with this identity could he dare to look Shen Jingan in the eye.

"It is indeed as it says literally, but the deeper meaning of Concubine Xian's words is just a sophistry. If you think I am unfair to Concubine Xian, you can wait for the verification result of this dress."

"Or maybe, wait until I bring the adulterer of Concubine Xian here."

adulterer!

The Grand Tutor's face turned pale instantly, his old body swayed, and he took several steps back in a shaky manner.

At Shen Jing'an's signal, Eunuch Hong supported him appropriately.

The virtuous concubine had the same expression as the Grand Tutor, and her body was even trembling.

So, so, the Emperor knew all about this?

No, that's impossible. The emperor must have said this on purpose. He just wanted to throw me off balance so that I would confess everything.

Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this...

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian clenched her fists, staring at Shen Jing'an's feet motionlessly, with a cold air emerging from her eyes.

Shen Jing'an, you are going to die sooner or later, why don't you die sooner? Why do you have to force me to take action!

This is all your own fault. You can't blame me, and you have no right to blame me.

It was you who married her but didn't take responsibility first.

So, it's all your fault, all your fault.

"Your Majesty, the rat has fallen down."

The white-bearded pharmacist exclaimed, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on the group of rats.

"This is really poisonous, but they didn't even bite it, they just licked it. What kind of poison is it that is so strong?"

Stunned, the old pharmacist picked up the mouse and examined it, and found that the mouse was just in a coma and did not die on the spot. It also had a fever all over its body and a red rash.

"This...why does it look so much like smallpox!"

The old pharmacist's eyes suddenly widened.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the people standing nearby scattered instantly, covered their mouths tightly, and then realized that they had just touched the clothes, so they immediately put their hands down and turned around in panic.

"What should we do? We are going to get smallpox!"

"It's over, it's over, this virtuous concubine actually deceived us."

"What, smallpox?"

Xian Fei's pupils were also shaken by shock, and she stood up suddenly, "How is this possible?"

Could it be that the cloth that Prince Yu found for her was taken from a smallpox patient?

She had just heard that smallpox had broken out in a neighboring country. Could it be that Prince Yu got the fabric from there? Wouldn't that mean she...

No, if it was really smallpox, then shouldn't she have been infected long ago?

Even Shen Jingan's expression became solemn.

He was careless. He only asked people to keep an eye on Concubine Xian to see if she had tampered with her clothes, but forgot to check the source of the fabric.

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps because he was anxious, Shen Jingan suddenly started coughing violently.

"Eunuch Hong, hurry up..."

"Don't panic, Your Majesty. This can't be smallpox."

Shen Jing'an was about to instruct Eunuch Hong to isolate everyone for inspection when Lin You's soft hand held his, patting it gently to comfort him.

His amber eyes froze for a moment, but the little woman winked at him seductively, "Smallpox can only be transmitted from person to person, not from animal to animal, so don't panic."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment. "Yes, smallpox is only transmitted to humans, not animals!"

"Yes, how can smallpox be transmitted to animals?"

"It was a false alarm, a false alarm!"

Everyone was talking to each other, trying their best to calm the frightened heart.

After they recovered, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the old pharmacist, and they all gritted their teeth.

"hey-hey……"

The old pharmacist smiled dryly, "I just said it was a similar case, not a confirmed case. You didn't listen carefully, and you got scared out of your wits."

Everyone, "..."

As the old pharmacist was laughing, his eyes met Shen Jingan's cold gaze. His legs suddenly went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"I am guilty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

This kneeling almost broke the old pharmacist's kneecap, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

"In fact, even if smallpox really does exist, we don't have to be afraid."

Lin You ate a fruit and spoke slowly.

After these words were spoken, everyone, still frightened, looked at Lin You in unison.

Lin You blinked, [Why are you all looking at me like that? I am telling the truth! ]

"Haha, you are so shameless."

Pharmacist Gao sneered, "Stop talking."

Immediately, he received a cold gaze from the young emperor next to Lin You. Pharmacist Gao closed his mouth instantly and knelt down with a plop again.

Lin You's mouth twitched a little.

[Are these people's kneecaps made of iron? They keep falling to their knees at the slightest provocation!]

"Xian Fei, how do you explain this dress?"

After seeing that everyone had recovered, Shen Jingan got back to the point.

The scalp of Concubine Xian went numb, and she knocked her head heavily on the floor. "I don't know. I am innocent. Someone must have deliberately framed me."

"My father taught me the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since I was young. I have always kept them in mind and never dared to go beyond them. How could I do such a thing? How could I have the courage to do such a thing and harm the emperor?"

As he spoke, he kowtowed hard.

[Tsk, he is trying to knock himself out so as to avoid accountability! ]

"Eunuch Hong, bring up the man who had an affair with Concubine Xian."

Shen Jing'an ignored Concubine Xian's excuses and gave the order. Concubine Xian, who was about to faint, suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look in the direction of the gate.

After a while, her lover was brought in, and Concubine Xian immediately collapsed to the ground.
