The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 69
Imperial Physician Xu did not say anything, and remained silent for a long time.

Song Jinyue was not in a hurry to urge her, but just waited quietly.

After a while, Imperial Physician Xu seemed to have made up his mind, slowly raised his head, looked at Song Jinyue, and murmured: "I know, I have the trust of the Empress...but I was also forced, I can't help it." .”

Doctor Xu's voice trembled and was hoarse.

"I don't want to do it, but that person is in the dark, I am in the light, and... the lives of my family are in the hands of that person."

"Who ordered you?" Song Jinyue asked out loud.

But Imperial Physician Xu just shook his head, "I really don't know, that person has something to do with me, and it was the person you arrested earlier who contacted me."

"I know, I'm sorry for the empress..."

Doctor Xu repeated repeatedly, as if he had finally found a way to vent the guilt and debt in his heart.

"What kind of excuse did Imperial Physician Xu have in that person's hands?"

How could the doctor Xu and the queen be poisoned.

Come to think of it, comparing the two, I am afraid that both are capital offenses.

"Many years ago, I rescued the child of an old friend..."

Doctor Xu looked up at the dark wall, his thoughts seemed to have drifted far, far away.

When he was eight years old, because his family was poor, he went to Beijing alone by begging to join his relatives. He almost starved to death on the road. Fortunately, he was rescued by Mr. Du, the Minister of the Household Department at that time, and Mr. Du sent someone to escort him to join his relatives. .

Later he studied medicine and entered the palace as a small clinic.

Mrs. Du often helped him with all the affairs in the palace, which saved him a lot of trouble.

But who knows, just when he thought that he could repay Mr. Du well, the Du mansion met with bad luck, and all the families in the Du mansion were ransacked and beheaded.

At that time, the unremarkable Tai Physician Xu saved his benefactor's child and sent him away after dissipating all his wealth.

But who knows, a month ago, someone sent a letter to him.

Use the benefactor's orphan to threaten him to poison the empress.

At that time, he had just diagnosed that the empress was pregnant. He couldn't go against that person's wishes, but he didn't want to be sorry for the empress' support and trust for many years.

In the end, he could only add two medicines for harming the body and anti-fetal medicine to the prescription.

He begged God every day to save the fetus in the empress's mansion.

It was as if he had been placed on a red-hot scale, and he could only stand in the middle, maintaining the balance between the two.

After explaining everything, Imperial Physician Xu's eyes suddenly cleared up, looked at Second Miss Song, and said, "Second Miss Song, I swear by the descendants of the Xu family, there is not a single lie in what I said, and I really don't know the rest. .”

"Yes, I know."

It is uncomfortable to hear the truth of Dr. Xu's story. She can tell that Dr. Xu did not lie, and there is no need for him to lie.

"Second Miss Song, can you let me go back home? I swear, I won't spread the word about this!"

"Okay, tonight, I will order someone to send Imperial Doctor Xu back."

Right now, since Imperial Physician Xu has already explained everything, it is a bit inappropriate to be locked up in General Zhang's Mansion. Besides, there are already people watching outside the gate of Xu Mansion, so she is not worried that Imperial Physician Xu will cause trouble.

Doctor Xu was grateful and thanked again and again, then sat down again, closed his eyelids, closed his eyes and meditated, and said nothing more.

Song Jinyue followed Cousin Zhi out of the dark prison, and walked towards the direction where the old man in black was being held.

Zhang Dingzhi took out the key and opened the door of the dark cell.

Although the old man inside was tied up on a chair, he was staring at Song Jinyue with a sneer and a hoarse voice, "Which family are you from?"

"I don't know the old man's last name?" Song Jinyue didn't answer, but moved a stool and sat opposite the old man, and asked about the old man's background.

The old man snorted coldly and turned his head away without looking at Song Jinyue.

Song Jinyue was not in a hurry, she just sat and waited quietly.

After a long silence, the old man suddenly turned his head, looked at Song Jinyue, laughed at the singing voice, and whispered, "You must have a lot to ask me, right?"

Song Jinyue nodded.

The old man leaned back very proudly, moved his shoulders, paused, and said suddenly, "But I won't tell you."

After finishing speaking, the old man looked very satisfied.

Song Jinyue knew that the old man might just return without success today.

He didn't want to continue entanglement anymore, and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Song Jinyue turned around when the old man called out to her and stopped her. Song Jinyue turned around suspiciously and saw the corners of the old man's lips raised.

Looking at her, she said word by word: "The empress must die! The entire family of the Zhang family must perish!"

Song Jinyue trembled a few times, Zhang Dingzhi trembled angrily when he heard the old man's words, and stared at the old man furiously, "You..."

"Hahaha……"

Before Zhang Dingzhi could finish his sentence, the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes sank, as if death was at home.

I saw him pursing his lips tightly and biting his teeth hard.

Immediately, bright red blood stains came out of Peng Yong.

The old man's body fell to the ground stiffly, but the smile on his lips did not diminish at all.

Song Jinyue and Zhang Dingzhi never expected that the old man would kill himself by biting his tongue.

The two were so shocked that they couldn't say a word for a while, their eyes fell on the old man.

When Zhang Dingzhi came back to his senses, he pulled Song Jinyue and trotted away from the dungeon.

The oil lamp in his hand was left in the old man's dark cell, Zhang Dingzhi couldn't remember it at all.

She just wanted to take her cousin out of this filthy place.

After leaving the dungeon and returning to the house, Zhang Dingzhi patted his chest to relax his mind, and then looked nervously at his cousin, "Cousin Yue, are you okay?"

Song Jinyue came back to her senses, she had already calmed down.

She is no longer a simple and carefree young lady in the Duke's Mansion. She has experienced such tragic and bloody palace changes in her previous life. Now that the old man commits suicide in front of her, after the shock, she no longer has the slightest fear.

Shaking his head, "Cousin Zhi, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Although Zhang Dingzhi was a little terrified before, she had seen a lot outside since she was a child, and she was not overly flustered and out of control.

The two stayed in the house for a while, and then returned to the courtyard of the grandmother.

Song Jinyue told Xiang Wu that when it was dark, he would blindfold Dr. Xu, walk around the city for a few times, and then send him back to Xu's residence.

And the old man in black ordered people to send him to the suburbs for burial.

When Mrs. Zhang heard about this, she coughed heavily, so the busy woman stewed ginger soup and asked them to drink it while it was hot.

Song Jinyue was also kept for dinner at the Zhang Mansion, and Song Jinyue returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Now, lamps have been hung under the corridor of the Duke's Mansion.

Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun straight back to Ming Zhuxuan.

But just as she was seated and taking off her earrings, Qin Wan ran in with a flustered expression.

With a puff, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Looking at Song Jinyue, with tears streaming down her face, "Second Miss Song, please go and save my brother..."

After saying a word, Qin Wan was crying and out of breath.

His body was limp and weak, and he fell to the ground and screamed.

The body trembled tremblingly.
