542 A hundred deaths are not enough to atone for their sins
Qiao Bingying smiled bitterly and nodded slowly.
Yes, none of this should be confused.
What he owed was the late Princess Yan, mother and son, and he could not repay this debt even if he gave his life.
As for his so-called justice...that is the current emperor, how can he get it back?
"Today you only need to answer my questions truthfully, and you will be considered to have paid your dues." The young man's calm voice came into his ears: "As for your justice, I will get it back for you in the future."
The current emperor owes the world justice——
This debt must always be recovered.
"..." Upon hearing this, Qiao Bingying raised his eyes and looked at the young man. The young man had a noble and noble temperament, and his black clothes made his figure even taller. At this time, just standing there, his whole body already had an aura of its own.
Who is this young man...?
Qiao Bingying was lost in thought when she saw the thin lips of the young man in black move slightly, and asked seriously: "Besides Princess Xianyan, is there another secret behind the illness and death of the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingyi turned slightly and looked at Wu Chao.
She also had doubts about this matter, but she had never discussed it with Wu Chao before——
It turned out that he was also suspicious.
Perhaps because things have reached this stage, it can be seen that the Dog Emperor has no moral integrity and conscience, and no one can help but doubt such a person——
Not to mention that everything that happened back then was full of coincidences. Everything happened when King Yan was leaving the capital to fight. It may not be a long-planned drama.
"The late emperor..." Qiao Biying opened his mouth, as if his mind was caught by something, and it was difficult to speak for a while.
Xu Mingyi looked at the old man who seemed to be in pain from recalling the past, with tears rolling down his eyes.
The truth behind the death of Princess Xianyan is certainly very important, but it can be said that there is no suspense about the inside story. Therefore, if we talk about secrets, the cause of the death of the late emperor is probably the biggest secret about Qiao Bingying——
"The late Emperor treated me with kindness and appreciation... How could I dare to harm the late Emperor's life..." Qiao Bingying found his voice with great difficulty, shook his head with tears in his eyes, and said: "I have never moved.
Such disloyal thoughts."
Haven't done it before?
Wu Chao looked at the old man who was crying - but such a reaction was obviously unusual.
"It is said that your Excellency was very popular in the Imperial Medical Office back then. Even though you have never done anything, is there really nothing unusual about the death of the late emperor in your eyes?"
Qiao Bingying's voice was hoarse and slightly trembling, and he nodded and said: "Yes..."
Because there is...
"The late emperor fought for many years, and it is said that he was injured several times, so he has been suffering from old illnesses..."
Everything that happened in the palace eighteen years ago that seemed to be tightly shrouded in a dark cloud flashed before Qiao Bingying's eyes. "At that time, the late emperor first suffered from an old illness and contracted wind and cold, so that he was bedridden.
Bed...It's a symptom of an old disease, and it's not necessary to treat it as little as possible
Only by patient treatment can we gradually recover. However, at that time, His Royal Highness Prince Rong, on the grounds that our poor diagnosis and treatment might delay the late Emperor's condition, no longer called us to the Yangxin Palace.
The folk miracle doctor came to cure the illness of the late emperor."
"It was somewhat effective at first, but the late Emperor's illness was something that could not be rushed. I was worried that it would be bad to see such rapid results. I wanted to go see him several times, but he was told, 'His Majesty is ill and cannot be disturbed. All matters will be taken care of by his own miracle doctor.'"
'For the reason of blocking out the dormitory..."
At that time, he realized that the palace and the capital were now under the control of King Rong...
However, the late emperor's body was not in good condition for a few days. The improvement in just a few days was like the afterglow before the light was exhausted——
"After that, I also thought about looking for evidence, but I couldn't do it at all. The relevant people and things were all wiped out..."
Later, the new emperor ascends the throne and holds great power...
Out of self-preservation, he didn't even dare to show any suspicion, lest he cause irreparable disaster.
But soon, the new emperor found him...
The affairs of the first emperor came first, and the affairs of the first princess Yan came after he ascended the throne. Therefore, in his opinion: "The current emperor was very cautious in his actions. Before the situation was determined, he did not dare to choose me to take this risk.
Such a risk..."
After all, the late emperor was still alive at that time. As the imperial physician in the palace, even if he was under coercion and still had some brains, why not choose to heal the late emperor secretly in order to seek help?
When people still have choices, their actions are often uncontrollable——
Later, when faced with the matter of Princess Xianyan, from the overall perspective, he had no other choice.
Xu Mingyi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
That being said, it does make some sense...
The Dog Emperor is not good at anything else, but he is unparalleled when it comes to being suspicious. It is indeed impossible for a person who is so suspicious to hand over the key to success or failure before actually sitting in that position and without absolute certainty.
In the hands of an overly outstanding imperial physician——
Previously, she only thought about the emperor's madness, but she missed the other party's caution and the current situation of the day.
However, a doctor’s intuition is definitely not groundless——
"Since Dr. Qiao said there is something strange in this, there must be something fishy." Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao with a determined expression: "And now there is no shortage of people who know the truth."
Wu Chao nodded slightly.
Yes, it was possible for the emperor to hide such a major matter of success or failure from anyone, but he could not hide it from anyone except Ji Xiu and Xia Tingzhen, who had worked closely with him to ensure his ascension to the throne——
Maybe we can try to start with Ji Xiu...
While Wu Chao was thinking, Xu Mingyi asked Qiao Bingying some details about the past.
Qiao Bingying truthfully explained everything he knew, but as time went by, except for the two things that he could not forget about the late emperor and the late princess Yan, many other things had long been blurred and faded away in the years.
Seeing that no other useful clues could be found, Xu Mingyi and Wu Chao left the darkroom.
Qiao Bingying was still sitting motionless on the couch, as if he was stuck in the past and couldn't get out of it for a long time.
"It is necessary to investigate clearly the affairs of the late emperor. It is best to announce it in front of others so that everyone in the world can see the true face of this so-called benevolent monarch." Xu Mingyi said as he walked out of the back hall.
However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that she had taken it for granted - since ancient times, the royal family has attached great importance to the saying that family scandal should not be publicized. It is said that the royal family's dignity is more important than anything else. If she said this, it would not count.
But I heard the person next to me say: "It should be so."
The young man's gaze did not waver at all.
The truth is for the servants to see. This is the best explanation for those who have died in vain. Since they have done evil things, they need to accept all the condemnation they deserve. Especially some people who die hundreds of times are not enough to atone for their sins and do not deserve it at all.
Any form of tolerance should be cast aside by future generations, and its infamy will forever be recorded in the history books.
In other words, if he has done something that is worse than a beast, do he still expect others to cover it up for him out of consideration for the so-called face?
