Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and turned their heads to look at the entrance of the hall.
Everyone was talking in low voices.
"Master Zhang was so seriously injured, why did he come to court again?"
"Obviously, the plague is of great concern. Mr. Zhang must have something to report."
"Master Zhang and Master Fang had a huge quarrel before. I think this time I come here to see a good show!"
Two eunuchs slowly walked in carrying a special wooden chair. On the chair was Zhang Yu, who was completely paralyzed.
Zhang Yu was severely injured by Fang Chen before and couldn't get out of bed for half a year. It's only been a few days. He went to court this time and endured the pain in order to have His Majesty personally order Fang Chen to be killed!
Besides, he has other plans!
"I am here to see Your Majesty. Because I am injured, I cannot salute His Majesty. Please forgive me!"
Luo Ningxin knew that Zhang Yu must be here to add insult to injury.
"Master Zhang is injured, so there is no need to be polite."
"I wonder what Mr. Zhang is doing with his seriously injured body in court?"
Zhang Yu got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the plague has caused panic in the entire imperial capital. I am here because I want to do my part."
"I heard that Your Majesty is going to order the eradication of everyone in the plague area. I plan to mobilize the soldiers in the palace to help Your Majesty, and will donate one hundred thousand taels of silver to clean up the battlefield."
Luo Ningxin saw Zhang Yu's ugly face and seemed to be helping, but in fact she wished she could order Fang Chen to be killed.
"My lords, I issued an imperial edict three days ago. If Fang Chen cannot research an antidote within three days, he will naturally implement it in accordance with the imperial edict."
"However, this matter is very involved. Now my royal brother, the Second Prince, is also in the plague area. Is it possible that my royal brother should also be executed?"
Zhang Yudao: "His Majesty has opened his mouth and issued an imperial edict. Even if the second prince is in the epidemic area, he must implement it in accordance with the law and the imperial edict. No one can be an exception. Otherwise, how will the people view it?"
Someone immediately said: "This time, the Second Prince led his family to help in the plague area. He was not afraid of life and death. It is really praiseworthy. But now that the incident happened suddenly and there is no antidote, issuing a killing order is also a helpless act!"
Another official said: "This time many people went to the plague area to help the people tide over the difficulties. These people are all the heroes of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"I suggest that after everyone is executed, a merit monument should be set up and all the officials with meritorious deeds should be recorded on it for the world to admire. In this way, firstly, it can stabilize the people's hearts, and secondly, the deceased can be remembered for generations to come.
!”
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I do not agree!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the palace door.
At this time, the eunuch shouted: "The Queen is here!"
A palace maid supported the queen and slowly entered through the door of the hall.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Lu Caihuang saluted Luo Ningxin.
Zhang Yu's eyes were cold and stern: "Empress, I wonder what you mean? Is there anything wrong with what Wei Chen said just now?"
Lu Caihuang turned around: "Of course there is a problem. Some people can die, but some people cannot die. The Second Prince, Mr. Fang, the ministers of the court, and the senior officials of the Taiyuan Hospital cannot die. These people are the pillars of our court.
, if all are lost, it will be a huge loss to the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Furthermore, there are still some people in the plague area who are not infected and can survive, but they cannot all be killed."
In fact, Lu Caihuang just didn't want Fang Chen to die. The life and death of others had nothing to do with her.
Lu Caihuang knew that doing so was the last resort, a move against the imperial edict and against the imperial power!
But she had no better way, and she absolutely couldn't let Fang Chen die.
They were even prepared to send people to the plague area to kidnap Fang Chen.
Zhang Yu immediately retorted: "What the Queen said is wrong!"
"Three days ago, His Majesty's imperial edict was issued, and the golden mouth was opened. The edict represents the majesty of the royal family. Your Majesty must never take it back!"
"Furthermore, Fang Chen promised to develop an antidote within three days, but failed to do so. Fang Chen must be responsible for everything!"
Someone immediately seconded the suggestion: "Yes, the person responsible this time is Fang Chen. Your Majesty, please immediately order the execution of Fang Chen and eradicate everyone in the plague area."
"I second the proposal! Kill Fang Chen!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
"Why do so many people want me dead?"
At this moment,
A sudden voice came from the door of the hall.
Then, the messenger eunuch shouted loudly: "Master Fang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here!"
The eunuch's voice was full of excitement and high spirits!
Because Fang Chen is a eunuch, the most powerful eunuch in the dynasty.
Since Fang Chen's rise, all the eunuchs have been in Fang Chen's glory, and they feel proud wherever they go.
Everyone looked at the door, their faces full of shock!
The eunuch who sent the message shouted again: "The second prince is here!"
The second prince, Luo Longyu and Fang Chen, walked in together, one behind the other.
Behind them were Li Zhong and several doctors from Tai Hospital.
Everyone was shocked!
Many officials covered their faces with their wide sleeves and stepped back.
"What on earth is going on? Why did Mr. Fang come here? Escaping from the plague area is a capital crime!"
"It is rumored that everyone in Yanghuafang is infected. Master Fang, Prince, are you also infected?"
And Zhang Yu’s face changed drastically!
All the officials retreated one after another, not daring to approach Fang Chen and Luo Longyu.
Lu Caihuang's eyes showed confusion, shock, and then, she felt extremely happy inside!
Seeing Fang Chen return safely, she finally felt at ease.
And the corners of Luo Ningxin's mouth curled up!
She had already received the message from the Forbidden Army and knew that Fang Chen was fine and would go to court today.
"Fang Chen, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, comes to see your majesty!"
"My lord, I have met your Majesty!"
Fang Chen and Luo Longyu saluted.
"You two don't have to be polite." Luo Ningxin smiled at Fang Chen.
Leave the rest to him.
At this time, Fang Chen held a porcelain bottle in his hand: "The antidote to the plague has been developed, and the second prince and I have taken the antidote."
"We have recovered now, please don't worry, adults."
Luo Longyu also spoke: "Actually, our antidote was developed three days ago."
"But in order to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, we continue to purify it. Master Fang and I took the first batch of antidote and have now fully recovered!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was extremely shocked.
And Zhang Yu didn't understand what happened. They had obviously destroyed all the medicine, so why were there still medicines coming out?
Zhang Yu shouted: "Master Fang, since you developed the antidote three days ago, why didn't you take it out?"
"You are deceiving His Majesty, deceiving the civil and military officials, and deceiving the people of the world!"
