Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall
Chapter 49 Who framed me?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, the wet nurse may not be aware of this matter. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy." Ye Tianshi knelt down and begged for mercy.
Although he had not been in the palace for long, Ye Tianshi had gradually understood that, as his apprentice had said, the various incidents in the inner court of the palace were by no means accidental...
However, as a doctor, he always adhered to the principle of benevolence and medical treatment. Even though he knew that there must be something fishy going on, he still couldn't bear to see anyone suffer.
However, Concubine Gao did not agree. She said angrily, "Humph! Let's talk about it after we bring the person here for a thorough interrogation!"
Ye Tianshi sighed helplessly, feeling extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should not have easily agreed to enter the palace and got involved in this dispute for no reason.
I originally thought that I would have more opportunities to learn from famous doctors in the world. However, although many doctors in the Imperial Hospital have superb medical skills, they have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so their medical attainments are actually limited...
Not long after, Zhilan led several eunuchs and brought over the Fourth Prince's wet nurse.
Ye Tianshi hurriedly bowed and prepared to say goodbye, "My Lady, if that's the case, I will withdraw first, so that I can quickly make medicine for the Fourth Prince to cure his illness."
Concubine Gao looked straight at Ye Tianshi with her eagle-like sharp eyes, and then spoke slowly.
"No need to trouble you, just send a medicine boy to boil the medicine, you stay here and act as my witness."
At this moment, he was facing the arrogant and angry Concubine Gao.
The wet nurse was already trembling with fear. She fell to her knees with a thud, her body shaking uncontrollably.
She knew very well that she was probably already exposed. However, when she thought of the jade pot beside Concubine Chun...
However, Concubine Gao deliberately remained silent for a long time, not saying a word, and just fiddled with Yongsheng's little toys.
The wet nurse's face became more and more panicked.
"My Lady, I...I really don't know what crime I have committed! I try my best to take care of the Fourth Prince every day, and I dare not slack off at all!"
The wet nurse knelt on the ground, her face full of fear and grievance, her body shaking constantly.
However, the corners of Concubine Gao's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer. She raised her eyes and stared coldly at the wet nurse in front of her, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhilan, who was standing by, immediately understood what her master meant. She stepped forward and spoke sternly.
"What a cunning slave! How dare you attempt to murder the Fourth Prince? The imperial doctors have already seen the clues and the evidence is irrefutable. You still dare to make excuses like this. Do you really not want to live?"
Faced with questioning, the wet nurse still gritted her teeth and refused to admit it. She cried out at the top of her lungs.
"I am innocent! I am loyal to the Fourth Prince and have no intention of harming him!
It's just that the summer heat is unbearable, and I just wanted to cool down. I didn't intend to harm the Fourth Prince! Please, Your Majesty, please understand!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Gao slammed the table, stood up, stretched out her fingers to pinch the wet nurse's chin tightly, and lifted it up hard so that she had to look at her.
Concubine Gao's eyes were filled with anger and disgust, as if she wanted to eat the wet nurse alive. She said with gritted teeth.
"Humph! I didn't mention your desire to stay cool in the summer just now, but you confessed it without asking. It's obvious that you have something to hide! It seems that you have planned to harm the Fourth Prince! If I don't severely punish you, this evil slave, I'm afraid that someone will follow your example in the future!"
At this time, Concubine Gao turned her head and looked at Ye Tianshi, with a hint of majesty in her eyes.
After Ye Tianshi understood Concubine Gao's intention, he showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"It's understandable to seek coolness in the summer, but if it affects the health of the Fourth Prince, then the amount of ice used must be significant."
Madam Liu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I am innocent..."
"You are still so stubborn. It's fine if you don't care about your own life, but you don't care about your family either? Doctor Ye, why don't you take her pulse so that she has no excuse to make excuses."
Zhilan looked at this stubborn nanny and couldn't help feeling very angry.
Ye Tianshi reached out and felt Liu Ma's pulse, then put on an expression that said, "See, I was right."
"My Lady, even if you crave coolness in the summer, it is impossible to eat too much ice, because a normal person will never harm his body.
But judging from her pulse, Madam Liu has been taking excessive amounts of ice cubes every day, not to mention that it was raining a few days ago, not too hot. "
Although Ye Tianshi felt reluctant, since it was related to medicine, he replied firmly.
Concubine Gao sneered, and Zhilan began to threaten Madam Liu with various punishments.
Nanny Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore. She knew she couldn't defend herself, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I confess everything. It was Concubine Chun and Yu Hu, who was beside Concubine Chun, who came to see me...
He said that only in this way could the Fourth Prince be made ill, and thus frame you, the Imperial Concubine. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Gao laughed, "Oh, as expected, it was that bitch, Concubine Chun, who dared to murder me! Murder the heir to the throne!"
After thinking for a while, Concubine Gao spoke slowly, "Go, Zhilan, go and invite the emperor and the queen to Chuxiu Palace now!"
Upon hearing that the Emperor was to be invited, Nanny Liu trembled even more violently.
She didn't expect that Concubine Chun had calculated every move of Concubine Gao... Then she would also follow Concubine Chun's plan and would surely die.
It turns out that the truth of the matter was that long before Concubine Chun framed Concubine Gao for failing to take good care of her, she had guessed that Concubine Gao might find out about the problem with the wet nurse, so she had already designed a back-up plan in advance, just waiting for Concubine Gao to jump into the trap.
When Concubine Chun's trusted maid Yu Hu found the Fourth Prince's wet nurse Liu Ma, she had already ordered people to capture Liu Ma's husband and son in her hometown and use them as a threat.
She told the wet nurse that if Concubine Gao found out, she should tell the truth and say it was Concubine Chun's order.
Given Concubine Gao's personality, she would definitely tell the Emperor and let him make the decision on the spot and punish Concubine Chun.
At this time, Nanny Liu pleaded again, saying that she was forced by Concubine Gao, so she randomly blamed Concubine Chun. The reason why she used ice excessively to harm the Fourth Prince was because Concubine Gao was addicted to pleasure and neglected to take care of the Fourth Prince.
As Jiapin's confidant and a loyal servant, she did not want Concubine Gao to take care of the Fourth Prince, so she resorted to this desperate measure and asked the Fourth Prince to change his mother.
Yuhu also pointed out that if Nanny Liu, who had said all this, hit her head against a wall and died, then Concubine Gao would have no way to defend herself.
No matter how prominent the Gao family is now, or how domineering Concubine Gao is, they cannot escape the charge of failing to take good care of their children.
Then the Fourth Prince can only be educated by other concubines...
This was Concubine Chun's overall plan. One thing led to another, leaving Concubine Gao with nowhere to escape and she had no choice but to hand over the custody of the Fourth Prince.
After a while, the emperor and the empress arrived at Chuxiu Palace one after another.
At this time, Concubine Gao was sitting beside the Fourth Prince's bed, feeding him medicine. She looked like a loving mother, which was very touching.
As soon as she saw the emperor coming, Concubine Gao immediately stood up and threw herself into the emperor's arms with a worried and pitiful look.
"Your Majesty, I feel so wronged. I worked so hard to take care of the Fourth Prince every day, but Concubine Chun framed me! She actually bribed the wet nurse to murder the Fourth Prince. She is so bold!"
