"After the emperor's funeral, there will definitely be people with good intentions who will start to investigate the truth of the matter. The first to be unlucky are us imperial doctors. But after all, they are all doctors. Except for my senior brother and I, who have some kung fu, which is questionable, everyone else is They are people who have been working as doctors in the palace for who knows how many years. Generally speaking, they will not arouse the suspicion of these busybodies, so we, the two senior brothers, were targeted."
The eldest prince at that time had just ascended the throne. Shen Qianshan's withdrawal saved him a lot of things. He couldn't get rid of his younger brother so quickly, so he just let him live well in the imperial city. Even the imperial concubine lives in the same place without any changes.
Gusu Liang's uncle secretly showed the little bug he found to his senior brother. As soon as Gusu Liang's master saw this thing, his expression immediately changed and he immediately closed the lid. During that time, they I almost couldn't take care of myself, but I still kept looking for relevant evidence in various classics in Taiyuan Hospital, just to give a reasonable explanation to this matter.
The two of them took off the jade pendants that the imperial concubine gave them. After carefully identifying the pattern, they returned the jade pendants to the imperial concubine. At that time, the imperial concubine's face had already begun to look a little worse. Compared to The empress, who was also sad about the emperor's death, felt a little sicker, but she still accepted the jade pendant, but she didn't expect that in the end, this thing still couldn't save the emperor.
"My dear concubine, you seem to be looking a little bad. Do you need me to help you feel your pulse?" The jade pendant was returned by Gusu Liang's master. At that moment, he could actually see the expression on Concubine Shen Qianshan's face. Not good, he went up and asked for a Ping'an pulse, but he didn't need to check the pulse for this diagnosis. It really made him discover something extraordinary.
"What's wrong? Doctor Zhong, is there something wrong with my body?" Shen Qianshan's mother-in-law has always been in good health. It is definitely not normal to suddenly become so seriously ill. However, Gusu Liang's master checked her pulse. After that, I didn't find anything wrong. I thought it was just that the imperial concubine was overly sad because of the emperor's death recently, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of things to come.
"It's okay. It's probably because Princess Dowager has been overly sad recently. Please pay more attention to your health."
Shen Qianshan's mother-in-law only had a weak pulse at that time. If she was sick, he really didn't notice it, but if they could have noticed it at that time, I am afraid such a thing would not have happened.
The jade pendants have also been returned, and the old emperor has been buried in the imperial mausoleum. Everything seems to be over. The two brothers and sisters are inevitably relieved, but they thought that this matter will soon slow down. The two people in the past did not get the same results as the other imperial doctors. Instead, they were directly forced into the heavenly prison by the newly ascended emperor.
"Master Zhong, Master Wu, you two were the people directly responsible for the late emperor's illness at that time. Wasn't there anything special that was wrong before the late emperor fell ill?"
I don’t know who came up with the idea to hand over the two imperial doctors to the people of Dali Temple for interrogation. Originally, the minister of Dali Temple should be the kind of person who enforces the law impartially, but after arriving at Dali Temple, he was still in the palace. When people came to interrogate the two of them, they were at a loss, but they knew in their hearts that they might have been plotted by someone.
After they were caught in Dali Temple, their home was confiscated without being convicted. Fortunately, at that time, the small box in Master Liang's hand was hidden more secretly, so even if it was confiscated The mansion has not been discovered, but I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
The two of them had no idea what mistake they had made that would lead them to be imprisoned. However, they both knew that in the end, one person had to be the scapegoat for this matter. The two of them did not have any What a powerful background, the reason why he has been able to stay in the imperial hospital for so many years is all because of the emperor's appreciation, so it is undoubtedly the best to start with the two of them.
They originally thought that the newly enthroned emperor would at least give them a chance to clear their grievances, but they did not expect that their non-confession would turn into a recantation of their confession in the file reported to the Ministry of Punishment. There is no doubt about the result. The two of them were just imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. They did not have good relations with the officials of the DPRK and China like others. Naturally, no one would want to come in such a time of trouble. Helping them, they are surrounded by enemies. I have been working as an errand in the palace for a long time, and I understand the current situation of their two senior brothers. It is even worse for the two of them. The two of them are already in dire straits, but they still call them various names. They refused to admit to these charges and did not pay bail. As a result, they were beaten severely. There was no medicine in the sky prison. After they were injured, they could only let the wounds continue to develop. Gusu Liang's master talked less, but his uncle It was completely different. At that time, he was hot-blooded and suffered more physical and mental pain. His master also tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. Seeing his junior brother receive so many beatings, he felt sad in his heart. It really feels uncomfortable, but what can I do? Nowadays, people are working as swordsmen and I am working as fish and meat, so there is nothing I can do.
But just when they were about to give up all this, the jailer suddenly walked up to the two of them and told them in a kind tone that they were fine. What the uncle described to Gu Suliang was that he even felt that he It's a dream.
After so many days of darkness and being beaten every day, Gusu Liang's uncle had almost given up resistance, but the two of them absolutely could not plead guilty, because if they did, they would not only die. Personal.
"The two of us were suddenly released for no apparent reason. Although we were injured all over our bodies, we were still more grateful for the life we were able to get out of prison. After the two of us returned home, we found that the entire mansion had been read through, including ancient medical books. It’s all in a mess, and I don’t know where the antique calligraphy and paintings from the emperor’s previous visit have gone.”
Gusu Liang's master looked at this mess. He was already injured, and now he was about to cry. But fortunately, Gusu Liang's master was more careful and found the people following him, so he acted decisively. He dragged the people around him and went in to pack his things.
"Pick up two or three important medical books, and throw away the rest if you can." Gusu Liang's master tidied up a little, picked up a few relevant books, packed two pieces of clothes, and prepared to leave the capital. Gusu Liang's uncle still remembered his small box containing the poisonous insects. No matter what they had gone through, they could not let others be harmed by it again.
"What about these books about Gu insects? What should I do?"
"Burn it, I can't take it away anyway..."
"It's not that the two of us are not grateful for the emperor's kindness. We really don't want to live such a fearful life anymore." At this point in the story, Gusu Liang can almost understand why his master and his uncle are two , will choose to stay away from this matter.
How deep the water is in the palace, I already know what happened to Gu Qiang. Even I want to run away after seeing all the things that happened to Gu Qiang, not to mention the trembling people who were forced to do so. Where are the master and the master uncle
"So after you and the master were released, you left the palace directly, right?"
"No, the sky prison was dark and damp. The two of us, brothers and sisters, had been there for more than half a month, and our bodies couldn't recover for a while, so after getting the tickets, we stayed in Kyoto for two days to recuperate a little. At that time, we heard news about the imperial concubine."
Gusu Liang's master walked in with a serious look on his face, because the injury he suffered would be slightly lighter, and his body recovered quickly. When he was about to go to the street to prepare some things that he would need on the road, he happened to hear this. information.
"The imperial concubine also passed away. I'm afraid it has something to do with the return of the jade pendant." Gusu Liang's master didn't like to get involved in such things, but not long after he returned the blood jade to the imperial concubine, this happened. matter, even if the two of them tried their best to convince themselves, there was no way to get themselves out of this matter.
After Gusu Liang's uncle heard about this, he couldn't accept it anymore. If it was really related to the jade pendant, it meant that the two of them indirectly killed the imperial concubine.
"You can't say that, right? That jade pendant may be related to the death of the imperial concubine, but you can't say that the death of the imperial concubine was because of that jade pendant, right?" Gusu Liang didn't quite understand what his poem said. There was still something she couldn't understand about these words.
"To tell you simply, as I said before, my senior brother and I were actually released suddenly. Before that, we were tortured every day. There was no reaction between the two of us. Under the circumstances, we were released quickly, and not long after we came out, we received the news of the death of the imperial concubine, which speaks volumes."
"Princess... Is it also because of the emperor's affairs?"
What Gusu Liang wants to know most is whether the death of the imperial concubine has anything to do with his master and uncle. Now it seems that at least the person who directly killed Concubine Shen Qianshan was not his master. With his uncle, he felt a little relieved.
