I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The door of the palace was opened, and the palace servants walked in with their heads lowered and took a breath, carried out the corpses on the ground, and quickly sprinkled water to wash the floor, wiping the lapis lazuli surface spotlessly, as if it had never been stained with any stains.

Yu Heng closed his eyes, feeling the blood rushing through his chest in waves, wanting to go upwards and backwards. There was a sweet smell in his throat, but his limbs were indescribably sore and weak. There was also a strong itching coming from deep in his heart, and tears fell uncontrollably.

But the magic medicine has been used up, and there is no more available in the world.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

In a daze, someone helped him up. The strength in the opponent's hand was extremely strong, and he was led straight towards the inner hall.

"You, you are." Yu Heng tried his best, but his voice was still extremely weak and could not be heard beyond five steps.

He has been in the imperial court for nearly sixty years, and his heart as an emperor has long been extremely tenacious, and he will not be weak or panicked due to sudden changes.

Blood rushed to his eyes and his vision was a little blurry, but he still barely recognized the people around him.

"I remember you, you are Yu Chu." He gasped: "You broke into the palace without being summoned. You have betrayed my tolerance for you."

Mr. Mo lowered his eyes and said nothing. He just helped him onto the royal couch in the inner bed, and took the pillow to cushion his back.

Xue Wen flashed out of the shadows, carefully checked Yu Heng's pulse, then looked at his eyes and tongue coating, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan".

He shook his head at Mr. Mo: "Your Majesty has run out of oil and lamps, and there is no cure."

Xue Wen did not avoid Yu Heng's words, allowing him to hear them clearly.

"It turns out that you have known each other for a long time." Yu Heng looked at the two of them and suddenly realized: "So when Doctor Xue entered the palace, it was you who did it behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The purpose of sending Dr. Xue to the palace is for your Majesty's health. If you are willing to follow the doctor's advice, you can enjoy your destiny for at least ten more years." Yu Chu sighed: "If you say you have failed, it is actually your Majesty. I failed Chu’s good intentions.”

Yu Heng was startled for a moment, remembering all the things he had done since he got the magic medicine, it suddenly seemed like a dream.

"How dare you poison me, a small country! I swear to destroy it! Cough, cough, cough!" He sat up straight and coughed up a mouthful of black blood again. Suddenly, his eyesight turned black and his body became weak.

Seeing this, Xue Wen quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and fed the medicine in the bottle into Yu Heng's mouth.

He didn't want to drink something of unknown origin, but Xue Wen pressed lightly on the cheek points on both sides of him, and he couldn't close his mouth and could only swallow the entire bottle of potion. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is a three-hundred-year-old ginseng soup. It can refresh your mind."

After Xue Wen finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Yu Chu slowly stepped forward, put his hands on his forehead, knelt down with great solemnity, and performed a standard five-body prostrating salute.

The effect of ginsenosides is excellent, and Yu Heng's spirit is much better. He looked towards the outer hall. Nie Xi had just gone to the door to deliver a message and should have been back long ago. However, at this time, the door of the hall was still closed tightly and there was no movement.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Chu came here today not to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, but to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to clear up the witchcraft case in the first year of Xuezhenghe."

Yu Heng's eyes instantly condensed: "The ruthless prince abandoned the relationship between father and son, cursed me, and started an army to rebel. The evidence has long been conclusive, and the relevant people have been punished. I am willing to forgive your crime, but you still dare to do so." Are you thinking about other things?"

"Your Majesty." Mr. Mo took out a few silk books from his arms and held them up with both hands: "There are many doubts about what happened back then. With your Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess, how could you not have noticed it? Chu has been assassinated countless times since he was born. , if not for the blessing of our ancestors, it would be impossible to survive to this day - if there were no secrets about what happened back then, how could anyone tirelessly want to eradicate it? "

Yu Heng looked at the several testimonies in his hand. They were indeed written by insiders at the time. They clearly explained many details that were not confirmed at first. They were also signed and stamped with red fingerprints.

"Jiang Cheng, Yu Ke, and the Chen family after the deposed emperor?" He sneered and threw the silk book down casually: "Jiang Cheng was killed by the ruthless prince a long time ago in the rebellion, and Yu Ke's recent rebellion has been suppressed. , I have issued an order to spread the news to all nine sides. As for the deposed Chen family, no one can be found now. If you want to blame everything on them, are you going to die without any evidence?"

"Your Majesty." Mr. Mo was well prepared and said with an authentic expression: "Jiang Cheng is just a commoner, and it's all because of your Majesty's special intention to point directly at the messenger of embroidered clothes. In order to be promoted to a higher position, he devised a witchcraft case to frame the prince; after deposing the queen, The Chen family deeply hated Empress Wei's family for occupying her position, and Yu Ke even had the selfish intention of replacing her. The three hit it off immediately, but they manipulated the people of the world into their own hands, causing more than 30,000 people to die unjustly."

When he said these words, Yu Heng always looked indifferent and seemed unmoved at all. Mr. Mo stood up and approached the couch step by step:
"Your Majesty, Chu just doesn't understand. You have discovered the truth of the matter after you were so angry. Why are you still unwilling to clear your father's name and give him justice?"

"Yu Chu. If I don't give you an explanation today, what will happen to you?" Yu Heng sighed as he looked at the face that had appeared in his dreams countless times.

Mr. Mo lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's body is already like this, what can Chu do. However, as an heir, you have to do your best. As for the result, it is not something Chu can consider."

"You are right. I have indeed noticed something." Yu Heng nodded: "The entire Jiang family has been uprooted long ago, and the remnants of the Chen family have been basically wiped out. I think this has made my attitude clear. This time That’s the end of the matter, I don’t need to care about your crime of breaking into Chengming Palace today.”

Yu Chu shook his head and looked directly into his eyes: "Your Majesty, you know, this is not enough at all. You personally taught my eldest father back then. After he was killed in vain, he was given the evil title of a violent prince and did not even have a decent mausoleum. Since you already know the grievances involved, why don't you restore his innocence and let him and his heirs be buried in Maoling and enjoy the four seasons of sacrifices. There are other so-called princelings who died in vain. They were just upholding the orthodoxy of Dayu, but they turned out to be innocent. Slaughtered."

"That's enough!" Yu Heng said angrily: "I think you have forgotten that I am the emperor! It is impossible to change the crime I have made with my golden words. You, Yu Chu, are just a commoner, but you want me to admit my mistakes to you and confess to you. The world admits its mistake? I tell you, such a day will never happen!"

Mr. Mo's heart sank heavily. He had actually guessed that this would be the result, but if he didn't try his best, he wouldn't be willing to accept it.
