After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Tong was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

You can't say that he developed this skill from all those years of fighting, hunting birds and stealing chickens, right?

Fortunately, the emperor had no intention of investigating further.

The emperor asked the father and daughter to stand up, and looked coldly at Nanny Fang, who had been pinned down and gagged.

The chief eunuch saw what his master was thinking, took two steps forward, and waved to the guards.

The guard cleverly took the strip of cloth out of Nanny Fang's mouth.

Only then did Nanny Fang get a chance to catch her breath.

"Madam Fang, you are also an old lady by the Queen Mother's side, why are you so stubborn? You dare to kill people in the palace, do you think your life is too long?"

The eunuch asked in a hoarse voice, his voice had a peculiar coldness.

"Tell me, why did you want to assassinate Doctor Zhou and Doctor Fang?"

Nanny Fang's cloudy eyes swept across everyone in the hall and finally fell on the emperor.

She smiled bitterly.

"I have been loyal all my life. Everything I own belongs to the Empress Dowager. I certainly don't have any personal grudges against Mr. Zhou. I've even received some favors from him."

"As for why we killed them? Because they deserved to die. They were in other people's way, so they had to die."

After she finished speaking, her expression changed and she gritted her teeth.

"not good."

The chief eunuch noticed something was wrong and the guards rushed to stop them, but it was too late.

Nanny Fang suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, unable to close her eyes until she died.

Fang Nanzhi swallowed, bravely took two steps forward and checked her. She was already dead.

She opened the man's jaw and found that there was a deadly poison hidden in his teeth.

The hall fell silent for a moment. The incident happened so suddenly that the emperor looked extremely unhappy.

The guards knelt down and pleaded guilty. They hadn't been prepared for this move, allowing Madam Fang to take advantage of it, which was a dereliction of duty.

"Get out! What happened in the palace today must not be spread outside."

The emperor's angry voice spread.

"Yes!"

The guards immediately dragged the body out.

Nanny Fang died just like that, but the story didn't end there.

The few words she said before her death almost pointed the finger at the Queen Mother. In addition, she was the Queen Mother's confidant, which was equivalent to indirectly accusing the Queen Mother of asking her to assassinate her.

But why did the Queen Mother send people to kill an old doctor Zhou who had already retired and returned home?

Considering what Mr. Zhou and Doctor Fang have been doing recently, the most important thing is that they are trying to find a way to save the prince.

Is this a disguised way of saying that the Queen Mother doesn't want them to save the Prince?

The Crown Prince repeatedly targeted Prince Ning, and Prince Ning was the Queen Mother's biological son. It was understandable that the Queen Mother had a grudge against the Crown Prince because of this.

But it's not that simple. There are so many doubts. The Queen Mother has been running the harem for many years. If she wants to cheat and harm others, why would she use such a clumsy method?

"Come here, summon the Minister of Justice to the palace."

The emperor ordered.

Afterwards, he discussed state affairs with several officials, and Fang Tong and his daughter followed along, confused and listening.

Fang Tong felt that to be an emperor one had to have a strong heart. His son was sick and someone had just died before his eyes, yet he could turn around and worry about other state affairs.

No wonder he could become emperor.

Fang Nanzhi was fascinated. It was the first time for him to listen to the most powerful people in the court discussing state affairs. It goes without saying that bigwigs look at things from different perspectives.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicted that rainfall would increase in various places in the next two years, so the ministers proposed to dredge rivers, build dams, and divert water branches in advance.

However, the Ministry of Revenue felt that they allocated funds every year to dredge rivers in various places, so there was no need to spend money specifically on this.

The doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources asked, if the Ministry of Revenue is willing to take responsibility for the suffering of the people due to the blockage of the river due to heavy rain?

The Ministry of Revenue was certainly unwilling, but they were not easily frightened.

If they really want to dredge the river, their Ministry of Revenue wants specific data on the progress of dredging the river over the years, as well as the manpower and material resources required for this construction.

What? Can't estimate it right now?

If you can’t calculate it, it means there is something wrong with your ability. What does it have to do with the Ministry of Revenue?

As for the Sinong Temple, they came to report on the planting situation of official fields in various places this year and mentioned that they wanted to conduct trial planting on more land.

However, the Ministry of Revenue felt that the Sinong Temple had not made much progress in recent years, and it would be a waste to request more land. It would be better to plant what they had first.

So the people from the Ministry of Revenue and Fang Tong's superior had another quarrel.

The father and daughter were stunned.

When the Dali Temple Minister arrived, someone came from the Cining Palace, sent by the Empress Dowager.

The palace maid who came relayed the Queen Mother's intentions.

"When the Empress Dowager learned of Madam Fang's actions, her old illness relapsed with anger. She demanded that Your Majesty investigate thoroughly and find out who gave her the courage to act so recklessly in the palace."

The emperor's face was full of worry.

"How is Mother's health? Have you called the imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has taken your pulse and prescribed medicine. Your Majesty fell asleep after taking it."

The maid answered respectfully.

"Take good care of the Queen Mother. I'll be there later."

The emperor is very concerned about the empress dowager's health.

Afterwards, the case of Nanny Fang was handed over to the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, who also asked Fang Tong and his daughter some questions.

After clarifying the matter, the father and daughter were allowed to leave the palace.

However, the Dali Temple Minister told them not to leave Beijing in the near future, and he would not disturb them if necessary.

The father and daughter agreed and bowed and left.

Before leaving, Fang Tong glanced at Shangguan.

The other party nodded slightly.

After leaving the palace, the father and daughter got into Yuan Bo's car, and then they relaxed together and slumped in the car.

"Girl, you're really not hurt, are you?"

"No, let's go to Zhou's house first and then go home."

"Okay." Fang Tong stuck his head out and gave an order to Yuan Bo.

Then he came back, stared at his daughter, and tried to look serious.

"Tell me, what have you been doing in the palace? Why did you attract assassins?"

Fang Nanzhi thought about it.

She felt that Nanny Fang mainly wanted to kill Old Zhou, and she was just a by-product.

"It's probably because of my master and I treating the prince."

"What? Wasn't the prince's poison cured long ago? No, is he sick again?"

No wonder my daughter has been so listless these past two days.

"Ahem, is the prince really ill?"

Could it be that my second brother said that the prince is pretending to be sick again?

Fang Nanzhi nodded seriously.

Fang Tong sighed.

Someone didn't want the prince to be cured, so they came to kill the doctor? This is too overbearing.

"When you go out recently, you have to take Anmei and Yuanbo with you. I will ask your second uncle for two more secret guards when we get back."

Fang Tong was worried.

I feel that the people in the capital are too cruel. They kill people at every turn.

Last time, in order to frame the couple, he had killed a master. Now he was directly trying to kill his daughter. When the assassination failed, he committed suicide by taking poison.

These people don't care about their own lives or the lives of others.

"Ah."

Fang Nanzhi agreed obediently.

She didn't remind them that these people could not be brought into the palace.

There are guards guarding the palace gate.

Normally, she would carry a hidden arrow with her, but she couldn't bring it with her when entering the palace, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive today.

"How are you treating the prince's illness?"

Fang Tong asked again.

Regardless of whether Qingyan has other thoughts or not, I still hope that he is well and healthy.
