Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Prince Li looked at Emperor Sheng'an calmly: "Your Majesty? Do you believe what they say?"

Emperor Sheng An couldn't believe it, because no one knew his uncle better than him.

This is testing people's hearts.

He wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the officials in the court who had disloyalty!

These fools were led by the nose by Censor Liu!

You're going to be in trouble soon!

He immediately replied, "Uncle, I don't believe what he said. You clearly had the chance to inherit the throne, but you chose to make me emperor. You even said at the time that you only wanted to guard the border. As long as you lived, the Sheng Dynasty would be stable and peaceful!"

Prince Li nodded in satisfaction: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. As an emperor, he should have learned the skill of keeping his emotions hidden.

But when faced with King Li's questioning, he panicked!

He is not a fool. He knows better than anyone that the reason he can sit firmly on the throne is all thanks to this uncle who is a living devil.

With him around, court officials dare not act rashly!

With him around, other countries dare not invade!

Thinking of this, he shouted sternly, "How dare you, Liu Yao, slander Prince Li and accuse him of being disloyal? What is your punishment?"

Censor Liu retorted with a pale face, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. This old minister's heart is absolutely loyal to you and the Sheng Dynasty. If you don't believe me, you can open it and see for yourself!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense! You are slandering Prince Li. I will never forgive you!"

Censor Liu argued anxiously, "How could this old minister slander him? He brought the young prince, who was infected with the plague, into the palace. Wasn't that an attempt to murder the emperor? That was a plague, a terminal illness that no one could cure!"

Lin Yiwan then slowly spoke, "Prince Liu, smallpox is a terminal illness for you, but for me, it's just a minor illness that's easily treatable!"

Censor Liu looked at her in disbelief. "What do you mean? Even if you're a skilled doctor, you can't possibly cure smallpox."

Lin Yiwan raised her chin confidently. "Yes, I just happened to have concocted a special medicine to treat smallpox. Once taken, it will not only stop the spread of the disease, but it will also help the patient recover as quickly as possible!"

She quickly walked over to Lin Su, took Xiaobao in her arms, and said, "Look, when my brother had an attack, his body was covered in rashes and he was in great pain. But now, the rash is gradually disappearing, and the high fever has subsided. Does he still look like he's infected with the epidemic?"

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the baby's breathing had stabilized and he was staring with his big black eyes and blowing bubbles.

Censor Liu reacted quickly and angrily said, "That means the maid from the Prince's Mansion was right. He is indeed infected with smallpox!"

Lin Yiwan immediately admitted, "Yes, he did contract this disease, but I can cure it. I don't think it's terminal, so it can't possibly cause any harm to the people around him or the emperor. Why do you want to punish us?"

Censor Liu was suddenly speechless and dared not argue anymore.

Emperor Sheng An, however, said excitedly, "Wan Wan, have you really developed a special medicine to treat the epidemic? This is a great thing that will benefit the people!"

Lin Yiwan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my royal brother. I won't be stingy with the prescription. I'll copy it to the Imperial Hospital later. From now on, in our prosperous dynasty, smallpox will no longer kill a whole city of people!"

Emperor Sheng An was so excited that he rubbed his hands and said, "Good, good, good, Wanwan, you have done a great thing for the people. I thank you on their behalf!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you still going to kill him?"

Emperor Sheng An immediately shouted angrily, "Who dares to kill them? These foolish officials dared to slander my uncle. I will order them to be beaten with sticks one by one and dismissed from their posts!"

Everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare our lives. Our loyalty is witnessed by the sun and the moon!"

Emperor Sheng An ignored them even though they had their heads broken.

He ordered Li Youde to drag the man down and beat him with a stick, fifty strokes, no less.

All the court officials were gagged and dragged away, leaving only the trembling Madam Ping kneeling in the hall.

Her teeth were chattering at this moment, and her face was pale and terrifying.

Lin Yiwan walked slowly up to her and said, "Madam Ping, tell me, who instructed you to put the infected clothes and fabrics into Xiaobao's bathtub?"

Madam Ping retorted in panic, "Madam, I don't understand what you said. I didn't do anything like that!"

Lin Yiwan raised the corners of her lips in sarcasm. She didn't expect that Nanny Ping would dare to be so stubborn.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "If it wasn't you, why did you tell everyone the truth about Xiaobao being infected with the disease? Didn't you just want to make Prince Li's Mansion a target of public criticism and force the Emperor to punish us?"

Matron Ping shook her head with difficulty and denied: "No, I am truly thinking about the emperor and the people. If this is wrong, then no matter how you punish me, I have nothing to say!"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Madam Ping, if I remember correctly, you should be an old man from the Prince's Mansion, right? Why did you do this? How did the mansion or my mother wrong you?"

Madam Ping burst into tears immediately. She bit her lip hard and sobbed, "If Madam insists that I am trying to harm the Prince and Princess, then I can only die to prove my innocence!"

She cried bitterly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

At this moment, Prince Li suddenly spoke up: "You are doing this for Zhao Xiaoyu, right? I was negligent. When she returned to the palace, she called you godmother?"

Madam Ping was trembling all over. She argued vigorously, "No, I really didn't!"

Prince Li ignored her and looked at Emperor Sheng An: "Your Majesty, I have to go back to take care of family matters. I won't disturb you anymore!"

Emperor Sheng An quickly spoke up, "Uncle, all those officials have been demoted three ranks. I need to re-evaluate them. When are you free to come to the palace so we can select them together?"

Prince Li replied calmly: "Tomorrow!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!" Emperor Sheng An sent Prince Li and his family away with a respectful look on his face.

After returning to the palace, Lin Yiwan ordered people to search Nanny Ping's room.

Soon she got a small black box. After opening it, she saw a rag doll stained with black marks and pierced with silver needles inside, which looked very strange.

She carefully identified the birth date and it was exactly Xiaobao's!

She threw the doll at Madam Ping's face and said, "Do you still dare to deny it?"

Not long after, Ling'er also came back with a bundle.

She said angrily: "Madam, look quickly, there is a tablet here!"

Lin Yiwan looked carefully. Although there was no name written on the tablet, she could tell from the purse offered that it belonged to a young woman.
