Improper stepping stone for men

"What's going on here? Didn't you say that the father will wake up this morning?" Yang Yan asked with a sullen face.

"Returning to Your Highness, this minister, this minister doesn't know..." The head of the imperial hospital replied bravely, "The minister has repeatedly verified that His Majesty's poison has indeed been cured, but His Majesty just doesn't wake up..."

He was about to cry, and finally found out the reason. He thought that his family and life would be saved, but why did things go wrong again?

Seeing that an old man in his sixties still showed such a pitiful look, Yang Yan couldn't bear it. He didn't say anything after all, but only motioned him to take the emperor's pulse again to see if he could find out the reason.

The head of the Imperial Hospital, as if being pardoned, kowtowed gratefully, and then carefully held up Emperor Zhengrui's wrist. He thought it was still a useless effort, because they would probe every half an hour, but this time When I explored it, I found an unusual place.

He was shocked in his heart, fearing that he made a wrong diagnosis due to nervousness, he hurriedly signaled to the imperial physician who was waiting beside him to take over the examination for him, and when he saw his complexion suddenly changed, he knew that the result he got should be the same as his own.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and after confirming that they were correct, they hurriedly reported up: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has suffered a stroke!"

"What's the matter with you quack doctors?" The queen scolded angrily after hearing this, "First you said that your majesty's cause of disease could not be found, and after the crown prince caught the person who assassinated your majesty, you said it was poisoning, and now that the poison was cured, you said it was a stroke!"

"This is how you healed His Majesty? Even the cause of the disease has changed again and again. How can I dare to trust you?"

All the imperial physicians knelt down together, and the first of the imperial hospital bowed their heads tremblingly: "Your Majesty calm down, and the ministers are also quite puzzled, but your majesty's pulse is indeed showing so now."

The queen didn't want to listen to his excuses, and was about to question them, but was dissuaded by Yang Yan: "Queen mother, calm down, although they have had it, but now the father still needs their treatment, why not write down the matter first, and wait for the father to recover. Asking for a crime?"

"Just listen to the prince!" The queen sighed in her heart. She wanted to take the opportunity to delay for a while. If you are unwilling, you can only give up.

She sternly said, "You must do your best. If you cure Your Majesty, you will make up for your mistakes, and you can deal with punishment afterwards. If the treatment fails, I will not be able to keep you!"

All the imperial doctors agreed one after another, and they were extremely grateful to the prince who saved them.

However, when everyone was discussing how to administer acupuncture and medicine, Yang Yan called the head of the hospital aside and whispered a few words.

His complexion changed, and he walked quickly to Emperor Zhengrui's bed, carefully held up his head and tied it up in a bun, and then groped through his hair. Everyone didn't know why, but only one person showed a slight look of surprise on his face.

After a while, the head of the old hospital suddenly looked happy, one hand pressed the top of the emperor's head, and the other hand squeezed something and pulled it out, and slowly pulled out half of the gleaming silver needle from the emperor's brain!

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed.

At this moment, Yang Yan pointed at the person with a different face and ordered: "Take it down for Gu!"

Before the doctors could react, two guards rushed forward like wolves and pinned the man in his forties to the ground.

"Doctor Li!"

After a short period of panic, the other imperial physicians hid away from him one after another, fearing that they would be implicated if they got too close. Think about the half of the silver needle and look at the scene in front of them. What else do they not understand?

This Imperial Physician Li really had the guts to murder the Emperor, which is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!

However, there was no trace of fear on the captured man's face, and there was even a slight smile on his face.

"Xiuyuan, why did you do such a thing?" The head of the hospital pointed at him sadly and said, "The old man will retire next year, and the next head of the hospital is you, who on earth agreed to you?" It's a great benefit, telling you to do this kind of thing that doesn't cost your life?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't say a word, and after Yang Yan signaled the imperial physicians to continue to treat the emperor, he laughed and said: "It's useless, the silver needle piercing the acupoints for a day and a night, even the gods of Daluo can't save it, this dog emperor Dead!"

The faces of the imperial doctors all became ugly, obviously they all knew that what he said was the truth.

This person really has a vicious scheme. First, he used Mengxian powder to stun the emperor, and then he inserted a silver needle into an unimportant acupoint on the emperor's brain during the diagnosis and treatment. That's why the previous pulse was specious and confusing. Not clear mind.

When they found Mengxian Powder and thought the poison had been cured, they didn't know that the place where the silver needle was pierced was slowly changing, and the blood vessels were slowly accumulating and blocked in the brain.

Even if they checked the pulse, they thought it was an ordinary stroke and would not suspect anything more.

But now even if it is discovered and the silver needles in the acupuncture points are pulled out, too much time has passed, and the artificial stroke has already been caused, and the emperor is afraid that it will be more or less ominous.

Although these people were not accomplices, but they were colleagues but did not discover his conspiracy, and it was not good for him to treat the emperor, so I am afraid that they will be held accountable afterwards.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately hated and poisoned him, and it's all right for him to seek death, why bother to implicate everyone to die together?

But Yang Yan said at this time: "You will try your best to save the father, no matter what the result is, I will never blame you for this person."

"Your Highness is benevolent." All the imperial physicians were grateful, and after taking this reassurance, they all went to treat the emperor with peace of mind.

Only then did Yang Yan start to interrogate the man who was being held and kneeling in front of him: "Who ordered you to murder the emperor?"

"No one instructed him, he deserved what he deserved." Li Xiuyuan sneered.

In fact, Yang Yan knew the main envoy's heart well, he just didn't understand why this person wanted to help Shaoyang Ji, after all, according to the results of his previous investigation, there was no connection between the two of them at all.

As far as Xu Zhizhongli is concerned, this person has been an imperial physician for so many years and has accumulated quite a lot of family property. He is not very luxurious, and only has some normal expenses on weekdays.

In terms of reputation, he is already the deputy judge of the Supreme Court. As the old head of the court said, the next head of the court will fall on him next year, so it shouldn't be too long to wait.

However, no matter what reason he got involved in this matter, it didn't have much influence on him. Seeing that he couldn't ask any questions, Yang Yan prepared to ask someone to take him down for interrogation, but unexpectedly, a black streak flowed from his lips. The liquid immediately fell limply to the ground.

The guard hurriedly stepped forward to check, and replied after a while: "Your Highness, Li Xiuyuan has been executed."

This was the first time Yang Yan saw someone dying in front of him, but there was no fluctuation in his heart when he was surprised, as if he was used to it.

He couldn't help guessing what kind of person he was before he lost his memory, and waved his hand to ask someone to carry the body down.

Seeing the sudden death of a person who was still alive just now, the imperial physicians who were busy treating the emperor were more or less affected, and some even almost missed the silver needle.

The empress looked normal, she winked at her son, and the two left the emperor's bedroom together and went to the side room.

"Emperor," the queen said solemnly as soon as the door was closed, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with your second brother, you need to be on guard."

Yang Yan was a little surprised: "What does the queen mother say?"

"That Li Xiuyuan's palace has some impressions." The queen frowned slightly, remembering some past events that she didn't want to mention. her care."

"The queen mother said that Li Xiuyuan is one of them?" Yang Yan quickly understood, but the puzzlement in his heart was even worse.

As far as he knew, the original owner's queen mother was not a soft-hearted person, how could he allow the remnants of the Xiao clan to stay under her nose, and still climb up to the high position of the deputy judge of the Imperial Hospital?

As if she understood his thoughts, the queen sneered and said: "This Li Xiuyuan is a smart one. He ignored Xiao Shi when she was down and down, and even beat the old eunuch who went to seek medical treatment when she was sick. Go out, now it seems that he is just acting."

Yang Yan understood in seconds, it turned out that it wasn't that the queen mother didn't clean up the harem, but that this person was obedient and hid from him, but...

"What kind of favor did the Xiao family give him, and it was worth his life and wealth?" You must know that in the era of imperial power, Li Xiuyuan committed a serious crime of punishing the nine clans. Once the Dongchuang incident happened, he would not die alone, but the entire family Hundreds of people will be implicated.

"At the beginning, he prescribed the wrong medicine to Xiao Shi, which almost caused a catastrophe. The emperor wanted to punish him because Xiao Shi pleaded for mercy. Few people knew about this matter, and even I almost forgot about it. , if such a big event hadn’t happened, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to remember it.”

The queen said briefly, and said, "I just saw Li Xiuyuan's appearance, obviously hated the emperor, most likely because of Xiao's punishment."

"But if he wanted to avenge that woman, he should also count you and me in it, but he committed suicide without saying anything, probably to cover up for others, and this person, the only person in this palace who can The one that comes to mind is Shaoyang Ji."

You can think of so many things just by this point, you deserve to be a queen.

Yang Yan saw that she had already guessed this, so she didn't hide any more, and told her that he found out that the second prince was planning to rebel, and finally added a sentence: "The reason my cousin refused to marry Erchen was because she fell in love with the second prince." Brother."

"What? She was the one who refused the marriage back then, and you still told me that you didn't want her? How dare she, Rong Yinhua?" Hearing that the prince was about to rebel, the queen, who was calm when she heard about it, was shocked. Shocked and angry, she didn't care about complaining about her son, what she cared most about was, "Did Duke Rong and his son know about this?"

In an instant, she had already thought a lot. If her father and elder brother knew about it but didn't tell her, would it mean that the Rong family also stood on Shaoyang Ji's side, and they betrayed her together?
