MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 112

As Yan Shu expected, starting with the absurd story of Shengkang and his son, and gradually revealing the true face of this person, the Queen Mother will accept it much more easily. Too much volatility.

However, he said that Zhang Shengkang's apprentice in prison was very angry when he saw his wife being humiliated. He collected money and opened pharmacies in various parts of the capital, and cooperated with drug dealers to raise drug prices, forcing other medical centers away, trying to monopolize the capital's pharmaceutical industry; Medical fees and consultation fees, disregarding the life and death of poor patients and so on.

Because it was a case that the Holy Majesty personally explained, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to be negligent. After receiving these reports, it immediately continued to pursue the case. It can be said that it dug deeper and deeper.

In just a few days, rumors of Zhang's family spread all over the capital. No matter the officials or ordinary people, they all heard about Zhang Shengkang's evil deeds, and there were endless discussions in the streets and alleys.

Yan Shu was not idle either, and took this opportunity to hurry to Ci'an Palace to share Zhang Shengkang's biggest melon with the Queen Mother.

At that time, the Empress Dowager had just finished acupuncture, but Doctor Jiang was pulling out the silver needles from the Empress Dowager's head one by one, and received them one by one in the needle pack.

Yan Shu thought that she came at the right time, so she said to the Empress Dowager who was lying on the couch, "My Majesty, I heard that Young Master Xiaoyao has published a new story book, and I just finished reading it, how about I tell you about it? "

The Empress Dowager was bored, and said immediately after hearing the words, "Okay, tell Aijia quickly, what kind of story is this time?"

Yan Shu sat down on the side of the couch, and while watching Taiji Jiang withdraw the needle, she said, "It's a coincidence, this time, Mr. Xiaoyao is telling the story of a doctor. It is said that there was a doctor in the capital with superb medical skills, far and near. Famous for being able to cure all kinds of intractable and miscellaneous diseases, and saving countless lives, he was regarded as a miracle doctor by the common people. This miracle doctor has a son, and he also has an apprentice. Under the circumstances, the older apprentices are calm and steady, and they are very hardworking."

At this point, Yan Shu paused on purpose, and turned her eyes to look, but saw that Dr. Jiang's movement of retracting the needle was obviously paused.

She said in her heart, [This... is it talking about my father? 】

Yan Shu thought to herself that since she heard it, she continued, so she said, "This genius doctor has a broad mind, and never treats his apprentices differently from his sons. Instead, he teaches his apprentices who are eager to learn. After finishing the study, hang the pot to help the world and heal the common people just like myself."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "He is indeed a good doctor, a good master."

Looking at Doctor Jiang again, although he didn't pause any longer, he sighed in his heart, yes, his father is indeed such a person, and he put all his trust in Zhang Shengkang back then. Unfortunately…

At this moment, Yan Shu's voice sounded in my ear again, "It's a pity that this old doctor misjudged the person, his apprentice is actually a person who is greedy for power, and because his junior's talent is higher than his own, he has always been jealous. , I thought it was Master who had reservations about him."

"After this person became a teacher, he entered a family of aristocratic family as a doctor. With the medical skills taught by the master, he was quickly appreciated by the head of the family. However, the level of the master is higher than him. This person is afraid that the master will threaten his status. Using poisonous tricks, he first secretly changed the medicine prescribed by Master, and asked the patient to take it and then his condition worsened and he died. Then he instigated the family members of the victim to carry the dead body outside the door of Master's medical center to make trouble, slandering Master for treating people to death. "

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang frowned, while the Queen Mother was shocked and said, "God, how could this person do such evil things? This is a master who has been so kind to him!"

But Yan Shu said, "Because this apprentice is determined to become the most skilled person in the heart of the master. But the master's medical skills are always above him, and even if the master has no intention of pursuing wealth, there are still talented juniors. When he grows up and becomes a teacher, he will rob his job, so we have to force the master to leave the capital to avoid future troubles for him."

Hearing this, Grand Physician Jiang couldn't help snorting in his heart, that old thief thought everyone was like him.

The Queen Mother couldn't help cursing, "This person really has a heart like a jackal! Then what happened next?"

Yan Shu said, "The old doctor has saved people all his life, but he didn't expect that one day, his reputation would be ruined by that white-eyed wolf disciple. He was angry and sad in his heart. He couldn't think about it for a while, and he became depressed in his heart. After leaving the capital After a while, he vomited blood and died."

"And after his father passed away, his son grew up overnight, restrained his mind, and began to plan to avenge his father. First, he studied medicine assiduously, fumbled and studied all the medical books and files left by his father, and then wandered around, seeing all kinds of difficulties and miscellaneous disease, he humbly consulted colleagues from all over the world to broaden his horizons, and over the past few years, he has also become a famous doctor."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang gave another meal.

—How did this Young Master Xiaoyao know so clearly?

But I heard Yan Shu say again, "And that wicked apprentice with evil intentions has become more and more greedy and selfish. There have been many times when the masters of the mansion were ill, and he could cure them, but he kept everything back. The masters relied on him. But they turned around and used their status as a doctor in the government to open a lot of medical clinics outside, raising the price of medicines to oppress colleagues, completely ignoring the nature of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. It can be said that he did all the bad things. The evil things he did were finally discovered by the wise head of the family, and the head of the family was angry and sent it to the government."

After the words fell, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, she saw Jiang Taiyi, who had finished collecting the silver needles, bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, today's acupuncture is over. Just remember to drink the medicine later. I will take my leave first." .”

The Empress Dowager didn't think much about it, so she nodded and said good-bye, and let him go.

After a while, there were no outsiders in the hall, and the Queen Mother asked Yan Shu, "The apprentice in this story is Zhang Shengkang, right?"

Yan Shu asked in surprise, "How did your empress guess it?"

The queen mother smiled, "Isn't the method he used to slander Master in the story the same as the method he used to harm Imperial Doctor Jiang before?"

Yan Shu quickly nodded and flattered her, "Your Majesty is Shengming."

The queen mother smiled wryly again, and sighed, "Such a despicable villain, Aijia actually trusted him? Aijia can't be called a saint."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shu comforted, "It's not the empress's fault, it's all Zhang Shengkang's own fault! You must not get angry."

But the queen mother sighed again, and said, "Aijia is not angry, it is not worth it for this kind of person. This matter is entirely up to His Majesty to deal with it. Just do whatever you want. But then again, where is his master's child now?" , what are you doing again?"

Yan Shu paused, but did not answer directly, but said, "This... will probably have an answer soon."

While talking, he quietly asked the system, 【All, where is Doctor Jiang these days? 】

But the system said, [Naturally, I went to Qianming Palace. 】

Yan Shu had figured it out, and thought that the next step would be up to the emperor.

~~

Qianming Palace.

At that time, Yu Wenlan was approving the memorial, when he heard Fu Hai come into the palace to report, "Your Majesty, Doctor Jiang is asking to see you."

His pen tip didn't stop, he just said, "Go in."

Fu Hai responded, so he went out to call for someone, and after a while, he saw Imperial Physician Jiang enter the hall, knelt down and saluted him, "Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan calmed down and asked, "How is the Queen Mother today?"

Physician Jiang hurriedly said, "Return to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's first course of treatment has ended, and she has no obvious symptoms of headache. Next, she needs to continue taking the medicine for a month, and by then there should be no serious problems."

Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "You have contributed a lot to this matter."

The voice just fell, but Jiang Taiyi, who had just got up, knelt down again and said, "I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed. I have come to plead guilty to Your Majesty today."

Yu Wenlan groaned, and finally stopped writing to look at him, and said, "What's the crime?"

But I heard him say, "My surname is Xun, and my father's name is Xun Ji. The family once opened a medical clinic in Dama Street in the capital. Later, my father was framed by his apprentice Zhang Shengkang and forced to leave the capital. After my father died, I wanted to avoid Zhang Shengkang's persecution." , Changed his name and wandered in other places, and then met the imperial hospital to recruit for the exam, so he was admitted under the changed name. I have never changed my name to His Majesty before, and I really deserve to die."

After the words fell, Yu Wenlan said, "Changing your name to enter the palace is indeed a crime of deceiving the emperor, but thinking of your meritorious service in healing can offset your crime."

Doctor Jiang was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed to salute, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

But after finishing speaking, he said, "However, I have one more thing to do."

Yu Wenlan said again, "Say."

But I heard him say, "I want to sue Zhang Shengkang for deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, and framed my father."

Yu Wenlan's answer was simple and clear, "The case of Zhang Shengkang has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. You can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sue and tell me what I want."

Physician Jiang was convinced, he hurriedly kowtowed, and then got up to leave, and strode to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

~~

In Ci'an Palace, Yan Shu was relieved after following the system to understand the situation.

It was almost noon at this time, and the queen mother also drank the medicine, so she planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, before he could get up, he saw a palace maid reporting recently, "I'm telling you, my lord, Wang Zhaoyi is here."

Wang Zhaoyi?

Yan Shu was taken aback, is that the one who made the update earlier?

Tsk, long time no see.

But the queen mother nodded and said, "Call her in."

The palace maid should have left the gate of the palace, and soon she saw Wang Zhaoyi enter the palace.

Speaking of which, since she provoked the emperor's anger last year, this Wang Zhaoyi has been fighting for several months, directly from winter to almost summer, and then the queen mother told her to rest.

Since then, she has almost complained of being sick at various banquets, so Yan Shu hasn't seen her for a long time.

At this time, after seeing her enter the palace, she bowed to the two of them first, and said, "The concubine sees the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Yi. I heard that the empress is not in good health these days. Madam Dao rested, so I had no choice but to come here now, and ask Madam to forgive me, I wonder how Madam is now?"

The queen mother nodded and said, "If you come two days later, Aijia will be completely healed."

Yanshu, "..."

Hey, her boss is so funny.

However, Wang Zhaoyi was very embarrassed, and could only hurriedly say, "I am ashamed."

Yan Shu thought to herself, what's the use of being ashamed, the queen mother came here after the first course of treatment, can the queen mother not be angry?

As the boss's loyal younger brother, she could only hurriedly persuade her from the sidelines, "Please rest assured, ma'am, Doctor Jiang said that you are fine, and you just need to keep taking the medicine for another month."

The Queen Mother nodded and said nothing, but Wang Zhaoyi's heartfelt words poured into Yan Shu's ears—

【It's almost lunch time at this point, why is Concubine Yi still here? Everyone in the harem was killed by her. I asked her to see it again this time. Is there still a way out? Is she going to try to kill me next? Wuwuwu I don't want to come and I can't help it, God wants me to die on purpose! 】

Yan Shu, "???"

What do you mean everyone was killed by her? Co-authoring this article, Wang Zhaoyi blamed Concubine Zhou, Concubine Ning, Concubine An, and Concubine An on her own responsibility, right?

She was very speechless and funny for a while, and couldn't help but said to the other party, "Long time no see Wang Zhaoyi, how are you doing these days?"

But seeing Wang Zhaoyi trembling, he hurriedly said, "Thanks to your mother's concern, my concubine is very good."

But I was afraid in my heart and said, [Oops, Oops! She actually took the initiative to talk to me, she must be trying to clean up me! 】

Yan Shu listened silently in her heart, and couldn't help feeling bad for a moment, and said, "It's hard work for you, you have been working for such a long time, and I always heard that you were not feeling well, could it be that you are tired?"

But seeing Wang Zhaoyi shivering, he immediately said, "I don't dare, my concubine has been weak since she was a child, and a while ago I had a cold and stomach discomfort, it has nothing to do with the beating."

But he said in his heart, 【This vicious woman, is she trying to give me **** in front of the Queen Mother? God told her to die badly! 】

Yan Shu listened silently, but said with a smile on her face, "Then take care of yourself, it's winter now, and it's getting cold again."

Wang Zhaoyi nodded hurriedly, but she was already crying in her heart, 【Is she planning to ask me to continue to make changes? This woman is really ruthless! 】

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows secretly, she didn't think so.

Forget it, since this woman has determined that she is a bad person, no matter what she says, the other party will think the worst.

She also didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party anymore, so she said to the queen mother, "It's almost noon, and the concubine will not bother the empress, and I will leave first."

The queen mother nodded, "Go back and rest."

Then he said to Wang Zhaoyi, "There's nothing here in Ai's house, you can go back too."

The two should be, and they went out of the palace gate together.

~~

Yan Shu didn't bother to talk to Wang Zhaoyi, got into the sedan chair and went back to Ganlu Hall, then asked Liandong to send the book of what she just said to the Queen Mother to Qianming Palace.

——Just now she was just making an excuse to urge Imperial Physician Jiang to file a complaint as soon as possible, but in fact the transcript was not sent out.

But now that the emperor has exempted Jiang Taiyi from the crime, and Jiang Taiyi has gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to file a complaint, she has no worries about the future, and can generously share it with readers.

And just as she expected, after the readers had read it and combined with the rumors in the city, they had already guessed that the villain in the story was Zhang Shengkang, and they cursed for a while.

Under such pressure, the Ministry of Criminal Justice hastened to handle the case, not daring to neglect it.

Yan Shu was very pleased.

Unexpectedly, within two days, Liandong said to her, "Master, I heard that Wang Zhaoyi is ill again."

Yan Shu, "??? Sick again? Is it true?"

Tsk, are you afraid of making more excuses?

Without waiting for Liandong to answer, she listened to the system saying, 【Illness is real, I'm afraid you will make her sick. 】

Yan Shu, "???"

When can she scare people out of illness?

Is it so powerful?

But the system said, 【This is called persecution paranoia. In the eyes of this kind of people, the leaves falling from the trees on the side of the road are deliberately trying to smash her to death. 】

Yanshu, […]

Tsk, is this a sequela of the update?

Forget it, I don't bother to care about it, now she only cares about when the case of Zhang Shengkang will be judged.

But the system said, 【Just came out, hey, hey. 】

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, 【Hurry up! 】

Then he listened to the system and said, 【Zhang Shengkang was sentenced to death and executed half a month later. His son and his disciples were sentenced to imprisonment for helping him bully the market. His wife was seriously ill two days ago. I don’t know what I heard this time Whether the news can last; but the new daughter-in-law has already returned to her natal home with the emperor's permission. 】

Yan Shu nodded when she heard the words, 【This verdict is very satisfying, that old thief has done so many disgusting things, and finally he can get his retribution! 】

Alright, now we just have to wait for that old thief to be executed in half a month.

Anyway, the queen mother had already said something, no one would save him!

~~

Half a month later.

After noon, the unforgivable Zhang Shengkang was executed, and the onlookers all let out a sigh of relief and went home satisfied.

Jin Yiwei hurried into the palace, and took out a letter to report to the king, "His Majesty, just before Zhang Shengkang was escorted to the execution ground, he handed over a handwritten letter to the imperial supervisor, saying that he wanted to give it to Imperial Physician Xun."

—Yes, since the truth of Zhang Shengkang's case came to light one by one, Imperial Physician Jiang, who had been incognito for many years, also changed back to his original name—Xun Lan.

Therefore, now it is Xun Taiyi.

Hearing this for the first time, Yu Wenlan thought it was Zhang Shengkang who repented before his death and wanted to write to Xun Lan to repent.

However, after thinking about it again, it felt wrong.

Would Zhang Shengkang be someone who repents easily?

So out of curiosity, he took the letter and tried to open it for a look.

But there were only a few lines written on it——

"Before the death of the first emperor, he was obsessed with cultivating Taoism and didn't think about tea and rice. He only liked to drink some kombu soup every day. During that time, the queen mother once asked me to get rid of the moon.

Then, within half a month, the first emperor passed away.

Do you know why? "

…

After reading the letter, Yu Wenlan was a little confused at first, so—

He vaguely knew that "Yuebai Powder" was used to treat various scabies.

But why did this person bring up the death of the first emperor?

Still writing to Xun Lan?

The more I thought about it, a sense of uncertainty rose in my heart.

So he put away the letter paper first, and asked someone to summon Xun Lan to see him.

After a while, I saw Xun Lan rushing over.

Probably because he thought he was not feeling well, and he was still carrying the medicine box in his hand.

Yu Wenlan kept his composure, and asked Xun Lan first, "I was reading a book two days ago, and I didn't understand some medical matters, so I want to ask you for advice."

Physician Xun quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Yu Wenlan asked, "What will happen if Yue □□ and Kumbu eat together?"

But Xun Lan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Yue□□ is a medicine for external use and should not be taken internally. This medicine contains mercury powder. If it is eaten with kelp, it may cause poisoning."

Poisoned?

Yu Wenlan paused, but still said calmly, "What kind of poison is it?"

Xun Lan said, "It's like taking mercury. It will cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, and exhaustion. If the dose is too large, it will cause convulsions, bleeding from the teeth, blood in the urine, and even death from vomiting blood."

Yu Wenlan was taken aback.

— When the first emperor died, wasn’t this the symptom?
