Song Lian was lying in his concubine's arms, eating fruit, when suddenly several men came in. Song's mother and father trotted behind them, unable to stop them at all.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the Song family's back house? You don't know that my uncle is an official of the imperial court. If you don't go out, don't blame me for punishing you!"
Song Lian was startled by these people, and several concubines gathered their clothes in a panic and snuggled up behind him, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
"Mr. Song has been offended. We are here as entrusted by Mr. Song. If you don't want anything to happen, just cooperate."
Hearing that it was Song Cang who asked them to come, Song Lian calmed down, but before he could completely calm down, several men's eyes met and they punched up. Song Lian was hit so hard that his head hit the corner of the bed, causing severe pain.
He was stunned, and the concubines behind him couldn't help but scream.
"Why do you hit people for no reason!"
"My son!"
"Who on earth are you, and why would his uncle let others get into trouble?"
Song's mother turned pale and stumbled to the bedside to protect Song Lian and prevent these people from doing anything again.
"Master Song was joined by people from the Shen family and Yushitai today. The emperor was furious and wanted to blame you. Now he can only hope to escape punishment by seriously injuring Mr. Song. Therefore, for the sake of your official position, you have to wrong Song."
The husband is here."
Men, to make a long story short, the imperial doctor is right behind and will be there soon. Song Lian can't hide it from his eyes now.
"How come?"
Song's father and Song's mother were panic-stricken. They didn't expect that the Shen family would unite with the Yushitai to sue the emperor. Their second bedroom was close to the big house. If the big house collapsed, they would be doomed. Their hands and feet were weak. They didn't want to lose their glory and wealth.
He didn't want to let Song Lian suffer physical pain, and was in a dilemma.
Song Lian was frightened. Hearing that these people were here to beat him, he kept shrinking into the bed, and the concubines behind him were all pulled out to stop them.
"I don't want to be beaten. The uncle is so powerful that the emperor will definitely not blame him for this trivial matter. As long as he begs me for mercy, the matter will be over. Yes, as long as the uncle begs for mercy, he must not have tried his best. He would rather watch.
Watching me being beaten before my eyes..."
Song Lian muttered and expressed his resentment towards Song Cang. These men were all Song Cang's confidants. He originally thought that he would be gentle and just avoid the imperial doctor's inspection.
But Song Lian's attitude of repaying kindness with revenge made several people angry. They pulled Song's mother away and raised their fists to greet Song Lian fiercely. Since they said it was a serious injury, how could they do it without being cruel.
"Ah! Stop, I'm going to kill you, ah! It hurts so much, mother, please save me..."
The men's fists hit him on the chest and abdomen. By time, the external injuries had already healed, so the internal injuries were all invisible. Although they wanted to avenge Song Cang in their hearts, they still retained strength in their hands.
However, with just 50% of the strength, Song Lian was already beaten to the point where he was crying for his father and mother. When the men left, his internal organs were curled up in pain as if they had been displaced.
"Son, go and call the doctor!"
Mother Song watched the men beating her son to death, feeling fear and hatred in her heart. Now she was resentful of Song Cang. Even if the emperor blamed him, would he be so cruel?
"Can't go!"
Song's father stopped him. Although he felt sorry for his son, he still remembered what the men said just now. The emperor wanted to examine Song Lian's injuries. If he went to call a doctor now, everything would be ruined.
"Are you just going to watch my son suffer?"
Mother Song screamed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she squatted by the bed and wiped the blood from his mouth with a handkerchief.
"The imperial doctor is already on the way. Let Song Lian endure it for a while. After the examination is completed, I will call the doctor myself!"
"you!"
Song's mother couldn't resist him, so she could only touch Song Lian's head distressedly. She cried more and more sadly, looking forward to the imperial doctor's visit for the first time.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor lived up to Song's mother's hope. They arrived less than half a quarter of an hour after the men left.
Both of them were old men from Tai Hospital, but one was Prime Minister Liu, and he was deliberately asked to help cover up the truth about the injury, otherwise it would be easy to distinguish the old and new injuries on Song Lian's body.
The other imperial doctor was not chosen randomly. His medical skills were mediocre, and he was not a troublemaker. He was timid and smart, which was why Prime Minister Liu secretly appointed him.
"Mr. Wu, this Song Lian has indeed injured his internal organs as Dr. Song said. You should also come and have a look."
"good."
Doctor Wu was an honest man of modest means. He sat by the bed and took his pulse carefully. Mother Song's heart was worried, fearing that he would see something. Song Lian had suffered such a heavy crime, and it couldn't be in vain. How could this happen?
You have to cover it up.
"Well, he was hit with a fist by someone. The person's hand was not very strong. Fortunately, the vital part was not injured, but he needs to take a good rest now to avoid causing the disease."
"Well, I have the same idea as you."
The two imperial doctors reached an agreement. They were both smart people and knew what to say when they returned to the palace. Although they were appointed by the emperor, Prime Minister Liu had greater power in the court. They dared not offend Prime Minister Liu more than offending the emperor.
After sending away the two imperial doctors, Song Lian had already fainted from the pain. Song's father did not bother to comfort Song's mother, and immediately went out to call the doctor. Song's mother looked at her dying son on the bed, and hatred sprouted in her heart.
Song Cang didn't care if he couldn't do what he promised. When he was threatened, he sacrificed Song Lian without thinking about his past friendship. Their second wife had no dignity by relying on the big room. If they blocked his way in the future, they would still
Instead of being killed by him whenever he wanted, Song's mother shuddered in her heart when she thought about the fate of her second wife.
No, they have to make plans as soon as possible!
The two imperial doctors returned to the palace and were brought to the court. Zhao Jing, Prime Minister Liu and others looked at them. They lay down on the ground and explained Song Lian's injuries clearly.
"Oh, you mean he was really seriously injured?"
Zhao Jing had a stern face, having already expected this answer in his heart, and Liu Yuan would never let him succeed easily.
This matter was sent to him by Black Eagle. In the letter, Shen Yanqing planned it, allowing Song Cang to personally injure Song Lian, which would be considered as venting the anger of the Shen family.
In the letter, Shen Yanqing also stated that even if the Song family cannot be uprooted now, sooner or later he will uproot the Song family.
Zhao Jing's blood boiled after reading that letter, and she wished she could immediately recruit Shen Yanqing into the palace to give it a try.
However, in the letter, Shen Yanqing emphasized that although he wanted to return to Beijing, this matter could not be brought up by him as the emperor, otherwise Prime Minister Liu would definitely obstruct him many times, saying that he had a solution.
In this case, he deliberately threw difficult problems to Shen Yanqing, also wanting to see how well he handled things.
But I didn't expect that he was not only very strategic, but also so forbearing, and he would become a great asset in the future.
Zhao Jing couldn't help but start looking forward to his return to Beijing.
"Yes, Song Lian is seriously injured and lying on the bed. It won't take a year and a half for this injury to heal."
"Well, I understand, you can go down."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie. That Guo Zhao is ruthless and wants Song Lian's life. You must punish him severely!"
Injuring Song Lian made Song Cang feel uncomfortable, but now that the matter had come to this, he would not let go of Guo Zhao easily.
Zhao Jing's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, his eyes were cold and clear, and Song Cang was afraid to raise his head.
"The thing about Guo Zhao is as I said before. Although it was wrong for him to hurt Song Lian, the incident was also caused by Song Lian. He will suffer his own consequences. Guo Zhao just hit harder and was punished fifty times.
Just leave the official position, does Song Aiqing have any objections?"
Zhao Jing's words were so resounding that Song Cang's dissatisfaction was suppressed.
