The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

The Emperor and the Empress might be gods sent by Heaven to punish these evil people.

The emperor hated corruption and fraud, and hated all illegal and criminal activities. All officials involved in crimes were severely punished. His reputation as a tyrant spread like this, but no one was afraid.

"Since everything is fine, I'll go in first." Yun He let go of the hand that was supporting Doctor Zhang, waved his hand, and led the two little beggars into the hall.

At that time, several people had already had breakfast. There was a chessboard on the table. The emperor and the empress were playing against each other. Wen Zhaoyi sat beside the empress and watched.

The little palace maid placed the washed fruits and vegetables next to the chessboard.

After seeing Yun He come in, Gu Jianchu quickly dropped the chess piece in his hand and asked, "Yun He is back. How are things going?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Queen was about to lose and was trying to change the subject.

Xie Ci'an had nothing else to say and just indulged the queen.

Yun He brought the little beggar to the Emperor and Empress, but he kept a distance from them, fearing the beggar's unpleasant odor would offend them. "Your Majesty, Empress, I have led a search of all the major medicine shops in the capital, and almost no one has bought red beads in the past two days. However, I learned from the shopkeeper at a small shop that a little beggar had bought some yesterday. I became suspicious, and based on the shopkeeper's description, I found the little beggar in a restaurant."

"When I first asked him, the little beggar was hesitant, but after a beating, he told me everything."

Yun He kicked the little beggar and said, "If you want to live, tell me everything you know. Otherwise, even the Great Immortal can't save you."

The little beggar knelt down quickly and said, "I really don't know anything. I was begging on the road yesterday when a richly dressed old man came by. He gave me some money and told me to go to the pharmacy to buy some herbs. I saw so much money and thought he must be a kind person, so I bought the herbs for him without hesitation. Before he left, he told me not to tell anyone about this and gave me a silver ingot afterwards. But I really didn't know it was such a life-threatening thing. If I had known, I would never have done it."

Yun He handed a handful of medicinal herbs to the little beggar and said, "Look carefully, this is the kind of medicinal herbs."

The little beggar came forward to examine it carefully, "This is the medicinal herb."

"I just do the work for money, and I don't know what the effect of this herb is."

"I still have something to explain, and I don't know if I can make up for my sins with my merits." The little beggar slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an was wearing a black robe embroidered with a golden dragon. His majestic aura frightened the little beggar so much that he lowered his head again.

"You are quite smart." Yun He didn't expect that the little beggar had another trick up his sleeve.

"After all, I still want to live." The little beggar looked helpless.

Xie Ci'an, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Tell me about it?"

"The old man who asked me to buy medicinal herbs was standing outside. Although he deliberately disguised himself at the time, I have a photographic memory and recognized his eyes at a glance." The little beggar felt a little proud when talking about his photographic memory.

This actually made Gu Jianchu laugh. "I didn't expect you to be this capable. Yunhe, go call in Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Lin and have them identify him."

Yunhe went back and brought in Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Zhang from outside.

Doctor Zhang pretended to be calm and stood beside Doctor Lin, but his eyes kept avoiding the little beggar.

Yun He urged, "Point it out now. If the Emperor and the Empress find out you're talking nonsense, you'll be dead."

The little beggar knelt and turned to face the two men, then raised a black hand in the direction of Doctor Zhang. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this gentleman gave me ten taels of silver yesterday and asked me to help buy herbs from the pharmacy. I'm definitely not making random accusations just to save my life. If I'm lying, may the heavens pound me with lightning."

Hearing this, Doctor Zhang became anxious instantly. "Nonsense! I don't even know you, and I didn't ask you to buy any herbs. I think you just want to save your life and bite me casually."

"Interesting." Gu Jianchu raised a smile and looked at the two of them indifferently.

The little beggar said calmly, "This noble man is really forgetful. You clearly gave me ten taels of silver yesterday on the long street and asked me to help you buy medicinal herbs. Although you deliberately disguised your face and wore a bamboo hat, just by your figure and your eyes, I can confirm that it is you."

"Oh, you want to attack me just by looking at my body shape and eyes? There are many people with similar body shapes. How can you be sure it's definitely me?" Doctor Zhang was just glad that he had disguised himself and left yesterday.

But before Doctor Zhang could feel happy for a few moments, the little beggar continued, "Yesterday, I bought some medicine and came back to give it to you. When you weren't paying attention, I stole a jade pendant from you. I don't know if you noticed. Maybe you were so flustered doing something bad that you didn't even notice the jade pendant was missing."

In order to prove his innocence, the little beggar had no choice but to give the jade pendant he had found to Yunhe.

"I saw that the jade pendant was of good quality, so I sold it for nothing."

Yunhe naturally presented the jade pendant to the emperor and empress.

The jade pendant has a delicate texture and unique style, and looks like something from the palace.

"Why does it look familiar?" Gu Jianchu pushed the thing in front of Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an sneered, "It's my mother's stuff."

He had seen her beside the empress dowager when he was a child, and he could remember her because he was bullied and then punished by the current empress dowager. The first thing he saw was the jade pendant swaying around her waist.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the late emperor made a jade pendant for all his concubines, and the shape of each one was different.

No one else can get the Queen Mother's big thing.

When Doctor Zhang saw the jade pendant, his heart skipped a beat.

"Doctor Zhang, I wonder if you have anything else to explain." Xie Ci'an casually smashed the jade pendant on Doctor Zhang's head.

Doctor Zhang's forehead was instantly hit red, and the jade pendant fell to the ground in a parabola and shattered into pieces in an instant.

Doctor Zhang was extremely panicked. He reached out to touch the jade pendant he had hidden close to his body, but to his surprise, it was gone.

Doctor Zhang slumped to his knees. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. This matter has nothing to do with me. Perhaps this little beggar stole my jade pendant on my way home and used today's opportunity to frame me. Who told you to do this?"

Doctor Zhang turned and pointed at the little beggar.

The young doctor waved his hands in panic, "I don't understand what you are saying, but this jade pendant is what I picked up when you asked me to buy herbs yesterday."

Seeing the two arguing, Gu Jianchu looked lazily at Doctor Lin, "Did Doctor Zhang take a day off yesterday?"

Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Zhang were both stunned for a moment, not understanding why the Queen asked this.
