Tease the medical concubine, the prince has been chasing

Chapter 60
No wonder Ning Liang was so proud last night, it turned out that he had planned everything in advance and just waited for her to enter the game!

Tang Xueyao's voice was no longer as calm as before: "Your Majesty, I prescribed this pill to most of the patients. Why did this only kill me?"

She was sure that the crown prince, or Lan Jiang, must have done something secretly.

"That's not because you've mixed up the truth with the fake, and that's what happened!" Zhou Yao yelled.

"Then if it's true as people say, I'm motivated by greed, then why don't I increase the consultation fee, buy the medicinal materials at a low price, and then sell them at a high price? In this way, I can make money, and I won't bear the burden of harming others." risk to life."

Tang Xueyao sorted out the thoughts in her brain and said in a deep voice.

"This..." Zhou Yao was speechless.

"What's more, as I just said, I have never seen a doctor in my house, Zhou Yao, let me ask you, how did this medicine come from?"

Zhou Yao didn't expect Tang Xueyao to question him directly, and he stumbled: "This medicine...Of course someone else took it from Baicaotang and sold it to me."

Tang Xueyao said again: "Since it was given by someone else, it means that this medicine has passed through someone else's hands. Why insist that I sold fake medicines to kill people?"

Zhou Yao didn't know how to answer, so he turned his attention to Qian Zhong.

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Zhou Yao, you can answer whatever Princess Ning asks. Why do you want to see Lord Qian?"

Zhou Yao panicked and said, "The grass people only know that the medicine came from Baicaotang, and because they believed in Baicaotang, that's why...then they gave the medicine to the little girl."

The more Zhou Yao talked, the more confident he became.

"Okay, since you said it was given by someone else, then you should talk about who this other person is, so that the emperor can make decisions for you."

Zhou Yao's face was twisted into a ball, and he couldn't answer half a word.

Yu Shi Ji Yuan, who has been quietly watching the changes, cupped his hands and said: "Princess Ning's words are reasonable, there is no injustice or enmity, and the motive for hurting people is not enough. This case is full of doubts. If Zhou Yao can't answer one or two, it will be planting and slandering." Relatives of the emperor should be executed according to the law."

The emperor was also someone who had seen the dirty tricks in the palace, and after a little thought, he realized that there was someone instigated behind this matter, and the purpose was to completely ruin Prince Ning's mansion.

"Zhou Yao! Do you want to continue lying in front of me!" The emperor yelled angrily, "Come on, drag him down for me. I want to see how long he can keep his mouth so hard!"

Everyone didn't expect the emperor to attack suddenly, so they were silent for a while.

Several guards came up and were about to drag Zhou Yao down.

Zhou Yao looked at Qian Zhong repeatedly, seeing that he was unmoved, and seeing the viciousness of these guards, his whole body softened: "Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with me, it's all Mr. Qian. My money, let me say so!"

Qian Zhong was startled, this Zhou Yao was really a pariah, really unreliable, he hurriedly knelt down, his lips trembling.

"Your Majesty, it's all fabricated by Zhou Yao. He probably has some private enmity with Prince Ning's Mansion. The minister has good intentions to uphold justice for him. I didn't expect to come here and bite back!"

Lan Jiang who was standing next to him looked very unhappy: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, this case is full of doubts, it is better to drag this person down first, and try again at another day."

The trial will be held another day, won't Lanjiang have time to continue doing tricks?Tang Xueyao's eyes flashed with hostility.

"Your Majesty, since there is an imperial trial in front of today's hall, there must be a result of the trial. If it is delayed again and again, it may damage the reputation of the Emperor." Tang Xueyao said slowly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yao retorted loudly: "There is no grievance between Caomin and Prince Ning's mansion. It was Mr. Qian who found me first and gave me an ingot of gold, and asked me to say so in front of your majesty!"

As Zhou Yao said, he took out a gleaming gold ingot from his bosom.

The emperor ignored Lan Jiang's words, stared at Qian Zhong, and said sharply, "Qian Zhong, tell me, why did this gold ingot appear in the hands of ordinary people?"

Qian Zhong replied tremblingly: "This person has a sly eyebrow and a sly eye. He was wandering in the street some time ago. He must have stolen someone else's property. Seeing that it would not work to plant Ning Wang's mansion, in order to save his life, he dragged him into the water."

Immediately, Qian Zhong looked at Zhou Yao again, his eyes full of contempt: "Since you have done something wrong, you should kneel down and beg Princess Ning to forgive her. She has a bodhisattva heart and will definitely punish you lightly."

Tang Xueyao snorted coldly: "Bodhisattva heart? Lord Qian really praised me. Although I am a doctor, I am merciless in the face of those who want to put me to death."

Seeing that Qian Zhong wanted to push him out as a scapegoat, Zhou Yao simply turned against him.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min has never had a daughter named Zhou Sui since he was single. Before that, I just worked as a salesman in Baicao Hall to make ends meet, and was lured by Princess Ning to betray my colleagues. I had nowhere to go. That's why I fell in love with Mr. Qian." Damn, I'm only doing things with money, and if the emperor wants to behead him, he must first behead Mr. Qian!"

Qian Zhong's face was pale, and he pointed at Zhou Yao with trembling fingers: "Nonsense! Do you have evidence!"

Zhou Yao kowtowed heavily to the emperor, straightened up, raised three fingers, and said decisively: "The emperor knows that if the grassroots tell half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning, and they will die!"

Qian Zhong struggled to death: "Zhou Yao, you have to think clearly, the people sue the officials, but you have to go to my Shuntian Mansion to be punished first!"

"Hit it! As long as I have breath, I won't be your scapegoat for nothing!"

Zhou Yao stretched his neck, looking heroic.

The emperor sternly said: "Qian Zhong, there is no reason, why do you want to spread such false remarks against Prince Ning's mansion?"

Lan Jiang seemed to be feeling uncomfortable in his throat, so he coughed lightly twice.

Qian Zhong was shocked, his face was pale, and he stammered: "This... This is because Princess Ning is too arrogant in the capital, and Lord Ning has done such wrong things..."

Before the words fell, the emperor picked up the inkstone in hand, and thought about Qian Zhong and threw it over: "Now that things have happened, none of you are willing to tell me the truth!"

Qian Zhong didn't dare to dodge, the inkstone hit his forehead impartially, and bright red blood flowed down his cheeks.

"Your Majesty, I am so stupid! Duan Qiantao, the treasurer of Shennongtang, is enmity with Concubine Ning, and he has always been on good terms with me, so I was bewitched by him, so I did something wrong..."

"I see that you guys don't see me at all!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present knelt down one after another, trembling with fear.

"Hmph, one or two, is it a child's play to be an imperial judge! It's really courageous to use my hands to achieve your goals!"

The emperor was so angry that he dropped all the things on the table to the ground.

"Since Mr. Qian doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and only thinks about friendship, then take off your black hat and go to the prison with your friend Duan Qiantao to cherish each other!
"As for Zhou Yao, I'll put them in jail together and wait to be dealt with! Ji Yuan, from today onwards, you will temporarily act as the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, and you will be fully responsible for this case.

"In addition, there are rumors about Baicaotang in the capital, you should put up a notice at the gate of Shuntian Mansion to make Concubine Ning innocent."

The emperor flicked his sleeves and saw Zhou Yao and others being brought down with ashen faces, the case was considered to be over.

Tang Xueyao let out a long breath.

Although the real instigator was still hiding behind his back, the imprisonment of Qian Zhong and others was a heavy blow to Prince Ning Liang.
