"If you don't see the body for a day, you must not have any luck." Concubine Shu said, "Even if there is a 10% chance of being alive, there is still hope. You go to see your father first, and it may be Ximen Sheng's side.
The situation of the assassination was revealed to him. Even if Ximen Hao accompanied Su Ranhua to seek death, it was Ximen Sheng who did it. Everything went according to plan, but if Ximen Yi died, it would be an extra gain."
"Yes, I will go to Jinyang Palace now." Ximen Yi said, raising his eyelids and looking down at Concubine Shu. Although she had her advice behind his back, it became increasingly difficult for him to bear Concubine Shu's behavior if he continued like this.
, even if he becomes the emperor, he cannot escape the fate of a puppet.
The world belongs to the Ximen family, and Ximen Yi’s attitude on this point is very firm.
Su Luocheng and Ximen Yi came to Jinyang Palace to meet the Holy Spirit. However, when Ximen Xianchu announced that they entered the palace and saw the man kneeling in the middle, they were all a little startled.
Doctor Liu trembled slightly as he knelt there, as if he was bowing his head and confessing his guilt.
Ximen Xianchu sat on the dragon chair with a majestic expression. After signaling Ximen Yi and Su Luocheng to stand aside, he continued to interrogate Imperial Physician Liu, "Are you saying that you already knew the age of the fetus that Su Ranhua, the Northern King, was pregnant with?"
Did you make a mistake?"
"Yes, Wei Chen is guilty. Wei Chen made a mistake in diagnosing Princess Bei. He was afraid that he would be guilty of misdiagnosis and lose his face as the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, so he did not dare to correct it." Doctor Liu bowed his head in fear and replied.
"You hid the truth just to save your face and escape punishment? Did you know that such a crime would be even greater?" Ximen Xianchu asked in a low voice, staring at Doctor Liu.
"I am aware of my guilt!" Dr. Liu kowtowed deeply, "For this reason, I have trouble sleeping at night. When I found out that Princess Bei suffered for this, I was even more frightened. Doctors are supposed to save lives and heal the wounded, but instead they make people suffer unjustly.
, was eventually killed by a murderer, and Wei Chen suffered greatly every day. Now the life and death of King Bei and Princess Bei are uncertain. If anything happens to Princess Bei, I will not be able to escape condemnation for the rest of my life. At this time, Wei Chen meets the emperor and thinks about it.
I decided to bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty and bullying the emperor in order to seek relief. I really can't stand the torture of my conscience!"
"Do you know how much responsibility you have to bear for what you said today?" Ximen Xianchu asked.
"I deserve to die. I am already old, but I have brought shame on the Liu family. I have no choice but to die to apologize, and please ask the emperor to look at Wei Chen's surrender and spare his family." Dr. Liu kowtowed one after another, with deep wrinkles.
There were red marks on his forehead.
It was obvious that Bai Yiyi lied at that time, thinking that by asking for help in front of Ximen Hao, the matter would be solved without anyone noticing. Doctor Liu never expected that he would get into trouble with the emperor so quickly, and even more so.
Unexpectedly, Ximen Hao arranged for him to exonerate Su Ranhua and make him change his story.
What he said at this time was the true conclusion, but it was as difficult as telling a lie. All the faults were borne by him alone.
However, Imperial Physician Liu did not dare to disobey King Bei's order, not to mention that overturning Su Ranhua's case was something he had always cared about. After what happened, Imperial Physician Liu finally understood that it was very difficult for the people in the palace to deal with it.
It's not just that you can live a peaceful life just by concentrating on treating illnesses. After staying in the palace for so many years, you have gotten into trouble even when you are very old.
At this time, Ximen Hao had already found him, and he had no choice but to follow his arrangements to keep the hundreds of members of his Liu family safe.
"Wu Shan's mysterious disappearance is just a child's play. Now Su Ranhua's crime of deceiving the emperor is also caused by your misdiagnosis. Will our majestic Qingyuan Dynasty just let you people do whatever you want?" Ximen Xianchu was angry and raised his finger.
He lit Taiyi Liu fiercely and said, "You will die to apologize now. If you are going to die, I can forgive your family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician Liu kowtowed and shouted, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, raised his head and drank the liquid inside.
The porcelain bottle fell to the ground. Doctor Liu's body shook violently and he was in great pain. He vomited blood and died within a short time.
Ximen Xianchu did not expect that Doctor Liu had already made up his mind to die, and stared at Doctor Liu who fell on the ground with a gloomy look.
The first thing he thought of was that Dr. Liu must have been forced to die. He used Dr. Liu to change the diagnosis results, and his determination to apologize with death proved that what he said before he died was true. His death was exchanged for the lives of his entire family.
.
If Su Ranhua is free of the so-called crime of deceiving the emperor, and the child she is carrying is indeed Ximen Hao's, then the one who will benefit the most is Su Luo City, and he will no longer have to bear any guilt.
Ximen Xianchu's eyes fell on Su Luocheng beside him, as sharp as thorns.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Luocheng knelt down quickly and said loudly, "Wei Chen has been tracing the whereabouts of Su Ranhua and investigating the origins of those killers. He has never met Dr. Liu, let alone done anything outrageous.
Please investigate this matter thoroughly and get a clear understanding!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Su Luocheng didn't understand why Dr. Liu suddenly changed his story. Logically speaking, this would be beneficial to him, but it was obvious that the emperor suspected that he was behind the scenes and forced Dr. Liu.
He had also wanted to do this, but he also wanted Doctor Liu to be an important witness and be protected by the emperor. It would be much more difficult to force him. Besides, Su Ranhua had already conceived an inexplicable child behind his back, keeping him in the dark.
Here, such chess pieces have deviated from expectations, so in the end Su Luo City decided to use Ximen Sheng's hand to kill Su Ranhua, and it was all over.
"Since it is true that Su Ranhua is pregnant with royal blood, it also excludes the possibility that she conspired with others to impersonate the emperor's heir. I can't figure out why there are killers chasing her? How can a woman who married a son have such a child?
How big is the matter?" Ximen Xianchu followed Su Luocheng's words and thought of a new question. If everything was a misunderstanding, then why did the killers come?
"This... I don't know, I will do my best to investigate." Su Luocheng said bravely. Ximen Xianchu was right. If Su Ranhua did not conspire with others, then the so-called "murder and silence" motive would be
No longer exists.
How should he end it?
Ximen Xianchu's eyes flickered back and forth between Su Luocheng and Ximen Yi, and finally landed on the body of Imperial Physician Liu.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, Doctor Liu's dying words still deeply touched Ximen Xianchu's heart.
The fact that Su Ranhua pretended to be the emperor's heir and married Ximen Hao has become a royal scandal and spread throughout the capital. If Dr. Liu died to prove Su Ranhua's innocence, it would be a good way to save the royal family's face and no longer be regarded by the world.
laughing stock.
As an emperor of the current dynasty, Ximen Xianchu was still very concerned about the world's opinion of the royal family. But in this way, he could not use Su Ranhua to punish the Prime Minister.
"Master Su, please continue to investigate the origin of the killer and give me an explanation as soon as possible." Ximen Xianchu said, staring at Su Luo City with a burning gaze. He will definitely be able to find a reason to punish the Prime Minister and give him a severe blow.
