"Yes, he rushed here before, pointed at my nose and cursed me. Although it was a bit inexplicable, he woke me up."
Hearing this, Hong Zhou felt completely at ease and said with a smile: "Doctor Tao's profound enlightenment is really a blessing to the people of Hangzhou Prefecture. With your wonderful rejuvenation, I believe you can keep them healthy and safe."
Tao An rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't have to flatter me here. Anyway, after today, I don't want to see you again!" After that, he waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said.
It’s over, please leave quickly!”
"Then I won't disturb Dr. Tao's rest. I'll say goodbye!" On the way out of the palace, Hong Zhou accidentally bumped into Yong Zhang. The latter seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and said to Hong Zhou, "I've met my fifth uncle."
Hong Zhou looked at Yongzhang with dark eyes. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would never have imagined that Yongzhang could be so scheming at such a young age.
Seeing that he kept looking at him, Yong Zhang asked doubtfully: "Uncle Wu, what are you looking at? What's wrong with me?"
Hong Zhou shook his head and said: "Nothing, I am just curious about why Third Brother is so happy?"
Yongzhang said with beaming eyes: "The person who poisoned Huang's mother has been found. Also, Changshun has just received news from the inner palace that Huang's mother has woken up. Isn't this something to be happy about?"
"Is Third Brother really happy?" Hong Zhou's sudden words made Yongzhang's smile freeze, and he said slightly uncomfortably: "Why did Fifth Uncle say this?"
Hong Zhou said in a deep voice: "After the Jin family was deposed into the cold palace, the third elder brother went to the elder brother's office. Over the years, the queen has always taken good care of you, so that no one in the elder brother's office dared to bully you; and the elder brother
Brother, when he was alive, he always treated you very well. Does Third Brother still remember all of this?"
"Of course I remember." Before Yongzhang finished speaking, Hong Zhou sneered and said, "I thought the third elder brother had forgotten it a long time ago, so that's why he did such a treasonous thing?"
Yongzhang's heart was beating wildly. Hong Zhou suddenly said such words. Did he know something? As soon as this idea appeared, he denied it. He had always acted carefully, and there was no reason for Hong Zhou to discover what he had done.
He pretended to be calm and said: "What kind of rebellion is this? What is Uncle Wu talking about?"
"People are doing it, God is watching; I hope Third Brother can take care of himself!" After saying this, Hong Zhou walked away, leaving an uneasy Yong Zhang behind. Before he could figure out what Hong Zhou said,
Meaning, someone from the palace came towards him. He called Qian'er and said respectfully: "Greetings to Third Elder Brother. Your Majesty has ordered Third Elder Brother to go to Qinxin Hall."
"Okay, I'll go there right away." Yongzhang suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed him all the way to Qinxin Hall. On the way, it suddenly started snowing in the sky. This was the first time he saw snow since arriving in Jiangnan.
The snow is falling, like catkins flying in the capital.
Yongzhang walked to the palace and saluted Hongli respectfully, "I have met Huang Ama."
Hongli raised his hand to signal him to stand up, "Have you ever visited your empress?"
Yongzhang hurriedly said: "I was just about to go when I met someone from the palace who sent a message saying that Huang Ama wanted to see my son, so I rushed here first. Did Huang Ama have something to tell me?"
Hongli stared at him and said: "Before, your fifth uncle came to see me. He told me that when we hunted the tigress in the cave, although it was pitch black, there was one person who was naturally good at seeing in the dark, so...he
It was clear who killed the female tiger that could have been captured; because the identity of the person who killed the tiger was unusual, he did not dare to say it at the time, and he dared not reveal it until now."
Yong Zhang secretly clenched his hands hanging by his side and forced a smile: "Really? Did the fifth uncle tell me who this person is?"
Hongli walked up to him slowly, and every word he said was as cold as the falling snow outside the palace, "He told me that the person who killed the tiger was you - Yongzhang!"
The next moment, Yongzhang hurriedly knelt down and said with panic on his face: "No! I have never killed that tiger, and I have never even touched it. This person is wronging me."
"Unjustly accusing you?" Hongli sneered: "He and you are strangers and have no grievances. Why should he unjustly accuse you?"
"I don't know, but I will never do anything detrimental to the emperor's mother. Please ask the emperor to clarify..." Before Yongzhang could finish his words, Hongli had already taken his hands and broke them forcefully.
After opening it, he stared at the red nail marks on his palms and said in a cold voice: "If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you so nervous?!"
Yongzhang didn't expect Hongli to do this. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he finally said reluctantly: "Huang Ama suddenly accused my son of plotting to kill the emperor's mother. I can't help but feel a little nervous."
Hongli snorted coldly and said: "That day, you said you were going to hunt tigers. I only thought you were filial, but I didn't expect that you actually harbored such evil intentions. If it hadn't been for another fierce tiger later, the queen would have died and took advantage of your wishes.
.”
Yongzhang tried his best to squeeze out a few tears and choked up: "I am really unjust. The emperor has always taken care of me. How could I retaliate and harm her? Also, after the death of the tigress, I am the third son."
I ran out and asked Uncle Wu to be merciful and not to kill the male tiger, but it was too late. If Emperor Amar still doesn't believe it, can he send Uncle Wu to come and confront him?"
His words caused a trace of suspicion to flash through Hongli's eyes, but it soon turned cold again, "If that's the case, why did you deliberately mislead me with your words after you came back, and then spread such rumors?"
Yong Zhang felt cold all over. Why did Huang Ama even know this? Could it be that Chang Shun was not clean and was found out by Huang Ama? If so, he would be in big trouble this time.
"Why, you can't answer?" Faced with Hongli's cold and stinging words, Yongzhang tried his best to calm down: "What is the misleading? I don't understand the emperor's intention."
"Don't you say so?" Hongli said coldly, and then said: "Come here, take all the palace servants who are waiting for the third elder brother to Dehai. I want to see whether it is the torture instruments that are too hard or theirs."
You have a tough mouth!"
Yongzhang was shocked. Changshun knew many things about him, including Qiao Yan'er's side. Once he couldn't bear the punishment and told everything, what he would have to face would not be trouble, but...death!
When Si Xi was about to step out of the threshold, Yong Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "There's no need to go, my son... that's all!"
Yongzhang never saw the heavy disappointment flashing through Hongli's eyes at the moment he spoke. Although Hongli had been forcing him to admit the matter, deep down in his heart, he did not want Yongzhang to admit it, nor did he want himself to admit it.
His son was so vicious-hearted, but in the end... he was still disappointed.
"Yes, Erchen admitted that from the very beginning, he did not want Uncle Wu and the others to hunt a tiger, so Erchen deliberately followed him and deliberately killed the female tiger that had no power to resist in the chaotic and dark cave;
Afterwards, I also deliberately said those words to make Huang Ama think that my fifth uncle was having an affair with Huang Aniang!"
