Gao Bin was silent for a while and said: "I don't believe that the emperor will not kill the imperial concubine!"
"If Mr. Gao doesn't believe it, you can ask Imperial Physician Fang. This time, he will also accompany you on the southern tour. He should be able to give you a clear answer."
Gao Bin stared at Yongzhang and said: "The emperor is the closest relative of the third elder brother. Why did the third elder brother tell me? Do you really just want to avoid feeling guilty?" Although he was in extreme shock and horror, he was not a fool.
, many years of career experience have made him understand one thing: nothing good happens without a reason in this world, and there must be a reason behind it.
Yong Zhang said solemnly: "To be honest with Mr. Gao, besides this, there is another reason." He took a breath and said: "Over the years, Huang Ama ignored everyone's objections and favored the queen blindly. For her
She also deposed the concubines many times, including my mother-in-law, my adoptive mother, Concubine Yu, and now Concubine Shu. None of them were destroyed by the queen.
"If it weren't for her, how could Yongxun and I stay in my brother's house? I tried to persuade Emperor Ama, but he couldn't listen at all, and even yelled at me, not allowing me to mention this matter again."
At this point, he sneered: "It is really ironic that such a person can be supported by the people and call her a wise queen."
Seeing that Gao Bin was silent, he added: "What I want is nothing else. I just hope that Huang Ama will recognize his loyalty and traitor, and will not be instigated by her again."
Gao Bin looked at him and said, "Third Brother, have you ever thought about the consequences if I tell the emperor what I just said?"
Yong Zhang's heart tightened, and he clenched his hands secretly, pretending to be calm and said: "If Emperor Ama finds out about this matter, it will certainly not be easy for me, Lord Gao will also get into trouble, and he may even end up with Emperor Huixian."
The same fate. Mr. Gao is so smart that he will make the right choice."
Seeing Gao Bin's expression tightening, he added: "You might as well remind Mr. Gao that if Imperial Concubine Huixian had not died back then, then the queen who is in charge of Kunning Palace today would not be the queen she is today."
Gao Bin didn't remember how he left. When he came back to his senses, he was already on the board of the ship. He missed his footing and almost fell. Fortunately, he was supported by a palace man who passed by. This palace man actually knew him.
He said in a serious voice: "Master Gao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
Gao Bin stood firm and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little dizzy." As he said this, his heart moved and he said: "By the way, which ship is the imperial doctor on? I still feel dizzy at the moment.
I'm dizzy and want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
After getting directions from the palace people, Gao Bin went all the way to the boat moored at the back. Compared with the previous ones, this boat was much smaller, and as soon as he stepped on it, he could smell a faint medicinal smell.
Fang Jian was standing on the bow of the boat talking to someone. When he saw him coming up, he smiled and came up to him and said, "Brother Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Gao Bin looked at the face he had known for decades with a complex expression, and said hoarsely: "Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time. I thought Doctor Fang didn't remember me."
Fang Jian said with a smile: "Brother Gao, when did you learn to joke? You and I have known each other for many years, how could you not remember it? Come on, come inside and sit for a while and try my new Junshan Silver Needle."
Gao Bin said lightly: "Junshan Silver Needles are only produced in Junshan in Dongting Lake, Yueyang. I heard that there has been too much rain this year, so the Junshan Silver Needles are not many. Not to mention those who pay tribute, some of them can be sold for a hundred taels of silver a piece."
Jin, I didn’t expect you to have it here, but I’m so willing to give it up.”
"I only get a little salary a year, so how can I be willing to buy such expensive tea? I cured the Empress Dowager's strange disease before. The emperor was so happy that he rewarded me with some, but I have been reluctant to drink it."
"Then I'm really lucky." With that said, he followed Fang Jian to the cabin. The latter made tea himself and handed it to Gao Bin, "Here, try it and see how it tastes."
As soon as the tea cup was opened, a pure aroma filled the room, and the thin tea leaves stood upright in the sky, and then slowly sank, like a group of bamboo shoots emerging from a pot, or like a silver knife standing upright, which was very interesting.
Gao Bin took a sip of the tea and said: "Let the dusty heart of gold inlaid with jade go, it's been a good month in Sichuan and Dongting; I haven't had such a good Junshan Silver Needle for a long time."
Fang Jian chuckled and said, "I still have quite a few here. I'll take some back to Brother Gao later."
"A gentleman does not take away from others. It is a blessing to have a drink today." As soon as Gao Bin finished speaking, Fang Jian said: "Why are you so polite between us? You have helped me a lot before, just some tea."
What does it matter?"
Gao Bin lowered his eyes and said, "It turns out that Doctor Fang still remembers what happened in the past."
"Of course I remember." Fang Jian glanced at him and said, "Brother Gao, what's going on with you today? Why do you always say things that people can't understand? Is there anything on your mind?"
Gao Bin put the tea down and said coldly: "I always thought that you and I have known each other for many years, even if we don't have a life-long friendship, we are almost as different as each other. It is only today that I know that this idea is wishful thinking on my part."
"How could it be? Although you and I have different surnames and are not related by blood, I have always regarded you as my brother, and I have never forgotten the kindness you showed me."
Facing Fang Jian's words, Gao Bin's eyes flashed with pain, "Do you still remember how Imperial Concubine Huixian died?"
Fang Jian's hands holding the tea trembled slightly, and he whispered: "Of course I remember that he died of a strange disease. It was all my fault that I was incompetent and could not save the noble concubine Huixian, so that Brother Gao suffered the pain of losing his daughter early."
"Strange disease..." Gao Bin said with a sad smile: "I have always thought so. It is only now that I know that what I know is just an illusion."
Fang Jian's heart skipped a beat and she said calmly: "Why did Brother Gao say that?"
Gao Bin stared at Fang Jian with cold eyes and said, "Tell me the truth, the imperial concubine... how did she die?"
"Didn't I just say it, it's strange..." Before he could finish his words, Gao Bin had already punched the table so hard that the tea cup jumped up and spilled tea on the table, with a ferocious expression.
: "I want to hear the truth!"
Fang Jian had never seen Gao Bin in such a terrifying state. He kept asking about the cause of the emperor's concubine's death. Did he know the truth about the emperor's concubine's death? As soon as this idea came up, he denied it. It was impossible.
Over the years, he has never mentioned this matter to anyone, and Gao Bin has no reason to know.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly calmed down and said: "I am telling the truth. The imperial concubine did fall ill and died. I was unable to save her at that time, and I felt very sad."
"If you were really feeling uncomfortable, you wouldn't do that." Gao Bin's cold words made Fang Jian increasingly uneasy, "Brother Gao, what are you talking about, what did I do?"
