Chapter 44 Dismissal Investigation
The king's head was so angry that he was trembling all over. It was really uncomfortable for him to talk about this little girl, but he still suppressed the fire in his heart and changed the subject and said: "I dare to ask the princess about the Queen's detoxification method.
Did you make the medicine?"
"Otherwise?" Sheng Zhiyao asked with a smile.
"This old slave can testify that the antidote was indeed brought out by the princess." After hearing what the head of the hospital Wang said, Aunt Rong quickly came out and said respectfully.
"Then have you ever seen with your own eyes how the princess made the antidote?"
"This... No, but there is only the princess in the side hall. If it wasn't the princess who did it, could it be that you, the head of the royal court, did it?"
"Aunt Rong was joking, how could Wang do such a despicable thing? I was just wondering how the princess made the antidote?"
"I'm sorry that I don't know this." Aunt Rong shook her head in embarrassment. She just stood guard at the door of the side hall and didn't know anything about the antidote herbs.
"Aunt Rong, you have been with the queen for many years, and you should be familiar with the rules in the palace. Those who bully the emperor will punish the nine tribes, so you have to think carefully!" Wang Yuanzhang looked at Aunt Rong.
He reminded lightly.
Aunt Rong was slightly startled: "Old slave, the leader of the royal court, naturally knows, but I can be sure that the princess did not poison me. Although I have not seen the princess making the antidote with my own eyes, I know that the queen was the queen that day."
Before I was poisoned, I drank the sour plum juice sent by the Taipei Hospital."
"Oh? Aunt Rong, why didn't you tell me that day?" the emperor suddenly said.
Aunt Rong knelt down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my negligence. It was such a chaotic day that I forgot to report to Your Majesty that the Queen drank sour plum juice during dinner. At that time, the Queen also said that the sour plum juice was made by the imperial hospital."
The juice is not as delicious as the one made by the princess, and the taste is a bit strange, but when the hospital checked the diet later, no plum juice was found."
The emperor was silent for a moment: "In that case, didn't you say that you wanted to check the queen's meals that day? Will there be any results in the end?"
The head of the Royal Court shook his head: "I checked the Queen's meal and found nothing abnormal, but there was indeed no sour plum juice found in the Queen's meal that day."
The emperor groaned and said: "Master Wang, are you sure?"
The head of the Royal Court nodded firmly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am sure that on that day I went into the Empress's bedroom with everyone and found no trace of sour plum juice. This can only prove that the Empress did not drink the bowl of sour plum juice."
"You are talking nonsense. The plum juice was sent from your hospital. Is it possible that this old slave still accuses you unjustly?" Grandma Rong said angrily.
The head of the hospital, Wang, sneered: "I have always respected Aunt Rong, so I didn't want to accuse Aunt Rong unjustly. But for Aunt Rong to slander me and wait for the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, this is not a small matter. This matter
Once it spreads, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Aunt Rong said angrily: "So what if you are guilty of deceiving the emperor? I only believe what I see with my eyes and cannot tolerate any falsehood!"
The emperor frowned: "That's enough. Go get the files from the Taiyuan Hospital. I want to see how authentic this matter is."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone handed the Imperial Hospital's files to the emperor. The emperor started to read through them, and his expression changed.
This file is a meal information that the Imperial Hospital retrieved from the meal the Queen had on the day she was poisoned. The data records that after the Queen drank sour plum juice that day, she did not feel any discomfort, but there was still a fragrance in her mouth.
spread.
"Do you know this file?" The emperor handed the file to the head of the court.
The head of the Royal Academy took it and read it carefully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I know this information, but we did not find any traces of sour plum juice that day, so..."
"So what, do you have anything else to say?"
"I am wronged! I only saw this information today." Wang Yuan leader argued.
The emperor's face was ashen, he waved his sleeves and swept the information on the table to the floor.
When everyone saw this, they lowered their heads one after another and did not dare to say another word. The emperor's anger was not something that just anyone could bear.
"You quack!"
The emperor slapped the phoenix chair with his palm, and the phoenix chair shook violently.
The emperor's face was livid, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" A soft call came out, and everyone looked around and saw that it was Old Marquis Sheng.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Grandma Rong is not the kind of person who makes things up out of thin air. Since this file is also true, it should be impossible for Grandma Rong to frame the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital." Mr. Sheng consoled her.
After hearing Sheng Lixin's words, the emperor's face looked much better: "What do you think of this matter?"
"Since Taiyuan Hospital did send sour plum juice, who sent it? As far as I know, sour plum juice from far away does not leave a fragrant taste in the mouth, so is this taste just Tianluo grass?"
The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard what Mr. Sheng said.
The reason why he was so angry was because the sour plum juice was obviously sent from Tai Hospital, but the head of the hospital, Wang, still refused to admit it. Now the evidence is conclusive. If this matter was not done by someone from Tai Hospital, then who could it be?
The emperor pondered for a moment: "I'll leave this matter to you, Yang Xiyuan, the Minister of Justice. Let me investigate carefully. Who sent the sour plum juice from the imperial hospital to the queen? All the imperial doctors present that day were charged with dereliction of duty."
He will be punished, and the head of the Royal Court will be dismissed from his post and interrogated strictly!"
"I obey the order, someone will take the king's chief to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Yang Xiyuan bowed and accepted the order. This king's chief relied on the support of Prime Minister Qi to act arrogantly. He would have disliked him a long time ago. If it wasn't for him,
Considering his status as the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, he had been taken down long ago.
"I'm wronged, Your Majesty. I really didn't know that the Imperial Hospital had sent sour plum juice." The head of the hospital, Wang, shouted in horror, but to no avail.
The guards didn't stop at all. They held up the head of the Wang Court and left the Purple Phoenix Palace to go to the Prison of the Criminal Department.
The emperor took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Today's competition is over. The princess has won completely. Do the two referees have any objections?"
"Report to your Majesty, I have no objections!" The two of them clasped their fists, and Prime Minister Qi did not dare to say any more, for fear that the emperor would be angry with him if he was not careful.
"Okay, that's all for today, dear friends, please leave!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
In the queen's bedroom, the emperor looked at the queen on the bed and said softly: "It's so noisy outside, are you okay?"
"My concubine is fine, Your Majesty, don't worry!" the queen comforted with a smile.
"In that case, I can rest assured. I will go handle the government affairs first and come back to accompany you later." The emperor stood up and prepared to leave.
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
After the emperor left, Sheng Zhiyao walked in: "Grandma Huang, can you please let go of this?"
The queen raised her head and looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a smile: "Zhiyao is here, come here quickly."
"Zhiyao, please say hello to Grandma Huang!" Sheng Zhiyao stepped forward and saluted.
The queen gestured for her to get up and sit next to her: "There are no outsiders, no need to salute, come and sit."
Aunt Rong walked in and handed a cup of tea to Sheng Zhiyao. She sat on the soft couch next to the queen, raised her feet and took a sip of tea.
The queen looked at Aunt Rong with a smile and said, "Nanny, you have worked hard today."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I just did my duty."
The queen nodded and then asked: "Has the head of the court been dismissed from his post and investigated?"
"Yes, Grandpa Huang asked the Ministry of Punishment to put him directly in prison."
