After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Just as he said this, he suddenly realized that what His Majesty had just said was "You really deserve to die."

Guo Qing shuddered, his face full of surprise. Before he could react, something hit him on the head.

A pile of papers were scattered in front of him, and he subconsciously looked at the contents on them.

Just reading a few lines sent chills down his spine.

Guo Qing made three mistakes in his life.

The first was that he married Zhao Shu, but he could never fall in love with her.

The second thing was that he wrongly accused his wife's brother-in-law and gained fame for himself.

The third thing was to wrongly accuse Doctor Du, save his nephew's life, and fulfill the old lady's wish.

And he did all three of these things after listening to his mother's advice.

He has always listened to his mother since he was a child. If it were not for his mother's teachings, he would not have his current official position and reputation.

But now, he has also fallen into these three things...

He collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a word.

Fu Ming snorted coldly, and with a rage, he started cursing at the people kneeling below.

"How dare you come and apologize before me! I think you should go and apologize before the whole world!! Let everyone in the world see clearly what kind of person you are! You murdered the Yue family, poisoned your wife, and wrongly accused innocent people! I want to ask, is there anything else you can't do? Have you memorized the warning words on the stone tablet in front of Shuntian Mansion?!"

Many images emerged in Guo Qing's mind.

The scene of him passing the imperial examination, the scene of him becoming a Jinshi, the scene of him entering the imperial city as an official, the scene of him being praised by the emperor in front of all the civil and military officials in the court...

One picture after another, like water flowing through a river, quickly flashed through his mind.

Until a scene appeared when he first went to Shuntian Prefecture to take up his post and saw the stone tablet in front of the gate of Shuntian Prefecture.

He was also very shocked when he saw the stone tablet, and he vowed to be a good official who loved the people.

He continued to do so afterwards, except for these three mistakes.

But his mother asked him to do these three things. How could he go against his mother's wishes?

Guo Qing closed his eyes, and the words on the stone tablet unconsciously emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but read them out softly. The voice was the same as the one he remembered when he first read it, but his mood was different.

"Fair and impartial, a single word brings all people together. Following the law, everyone is equal. Regardless of relatives or strangers, high or low, all decisions are made according to the law..."

When Fu Ming heard what he was muttering to himself, he didn't know what he was thinking about. His expression was not as excited as before, but calmed down. However, the coldness in his eyes when he looked at Guo Qing did not fade at all.

"Come here! Arrest the guilty minister Guo Qing and place him in the Heavenly Prison. From now on, all matters concerning Shuntian Prefecture will be referred to the Dali Temple for decision!"

Soon, several imperial guards walked in from outside the door.

They walked forward, dragged Guo Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked out.

Guo Qing seemed to have just come to his senses, looking up to the sky and crying out, "Wrong! All wrong!"

Fu Ming didn't want to listen to what he said anymore. He waved his hand and signaled the guards to drag him away quickly.

When the news reached Guo's house, it was already the next day.

At the same time, news also came of the crimes committed by Guo Qing.

Murdering the Yue family, poisoning his wife, and wrongly accusing innocent people, each of these three seems to be very explosive.

This is because in the eyes of the people in the city, Guo Qing is the most righteous and best official, and he is loved by the people!

But now, such bad deeds have been exposed.

Within half an hour, the entire Phoenix City was buzzing with discussion.

The first question people ask when they meet is no longer: "Have you eaten?"

But: 'Have you heard about Guo Qing?'

Old Mrs. Guo also didn't expect that the evidence Princess Chong'an mentioned yesterday was not only about Doctor Du, but also about all the sins her Qing'er had committed in his life!

After what happened yesterday, her health was already not good. Now when she heard that Guo Qing would be executed in the autumn, she immediately vomited blood and fainted on the bed.

The maids standing by were in a panic and didn't know what to do.

The people in the palace were in chaos because of Guo Qing's matter.

The more clever ones ran to the mistress's courtyard, hoping that Zhao Shu would come forward to take charge of the situation.

But Zhao Shu was unexpectedly having a doctor take her pulse at this moment.

Zhao Shu invited Dr. Ming, the most famous doctor in Phoenix City.

Doctor Ming naturally also heard the rumors about Guo Qing in the city.

He loved gossip the most, so he was naturally delighted to have the opportunity to personally diagnose the pulse of the protagonist in the rumors.

Doctor Ming closed his eyes and felt Zhao Shu's pulse for a long time. He opened his eyes and said with sympathy, "Madam Guo, you have indeed been poisoned. This poison will make you extinct. It has lasted for ten years and there is no antidote now."

ten years?

Isn't that the time when she married Guo Qing?

As of this year, she has been married to Guo Qing for exactly ten years!

That means Guo Qing gave her a drug that would make her childless when they just got married!

It's funny that for the past ten years, her mother-in-law has been using her infertility to torture her.

She originally thought she was unlucky and couldn't get pregnant.

But now, she felt that the Guo Mansion was a place where people were eaten alive, and it made her feel cold all over...

Zhao Shu's lips trembled and tears began to fall from her eyes.

"You mean I'll never be able to have children of my own in this lifetime, right?"

Doctor Ming nodded helplessly, "Ah, Madam, you'd better leave this troubled place as soon as possible. The Guo family is not a kind family!"

As he spoke, he packed his medical bag.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Having confirmed such a big piece of news, he had to hurry back and tell those people about it to satisfy himself!

As for Zhao Shu's mood?

Emmmm......

He was also very sympathetic, but that was where he ended.

Mingcheng carried his medical bag, bowed to the heartbroken Zhao Shu, then turned and walked away quickly.

With no outsiders around, Zhao Shu cried even more unrestrainedly.

She covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

"Guo Qing! You deceived me so badly! Our Zhao family was deceived so badly by you!!"

Suddenly, a maid came in with a message. Perhaps because she heard Zhao Shu crying, the maid said in a stammering voice, "Madam, the old lady has fainted, and there is a commotion in the mansion. Please come forward to take charge of the situation!"

After hearing the maid's words, Zhao Shu raised her head from her hands, staring at the source of the sound with hatred in her eyes, her voice hoarse and cold.

"That old hag is so lucky to have fainted! As for the Guo Mansion, it should have been in chaos long ago! It's their misfortune to have such a sinister and vicious master! And for me, marrying into such a family is also my misfortune..."

When Zhao Shu said the last sentence, two lines of tears rolled out of her eyes again.

But she wiped away her tears with all her strength, took a deep breath, and ordered the maid beside her: "Go! Pack up my dowry, and let's go back to the Zhao family immediately. We can't stay in the Guo family anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the maid outside hurriedly knelt down.

"Madam, please be merciful and stay in the mansion to take charge of the situation, considering the old lady's age!"
