Chapter 75 He Wants to Force the Emperor to Issue a Repentance Edict

Qi Yanzhou knew what Eunuch De was going to do and did not stop him.

Zhang Tianshi has no ability to fight with Eunuch De, and being silenced is his only outcome.

He glanced at the unconscious emperor and called the eunuch who was guarding outside the bedroom.

"Take good care of the emperor. The imperial physician will be here soon."

Although the emperor is incompetent and unjust, he cannot die for the time being.

Otherwise, if the princes fight with each other, civil strife will break out and the people will suffer.

When Qi Yanzhou returned to Ziyun Pavilion, the palace guards had already pulled out all the herbs.

Under the herbs was the rotting corpse of a young child.

Further down are the bones that have been stained black by blood and medicine.

Anyone who saw this tragic scene vomited all over the place.

Qi Yanzhou was so angry when he saw this.

He only knew that the emperor was using the blood of young boys and girls to make elixirs, but he didn't know that Zhang Tianshi was so cruel that he killed so many children!

For the first time, he thought of overthrowing the imperial power.

Qi Yanzhou looked towards the lotus pond.

The pond is rather quiet in early summer, with the few lotus leaves emerging from the water and swaying in the wind.

The gorgeous sunset shines on the sparkling lake, in full swing.

But it couldn't hide the chilly coldness beneath the water.

He ordered the palace guards, "Drain the lotus pond."

The palace guards vomited violently and really didn't want to be disgusted again.

"Your Highness, we are still on duty. We cannot leave our post for too... ugh... long."

The Imperial Guards report directly to the emperor, and Qi Yanzhou is not qualified to transfer them directly.

"Go find Commander Hu..."

Before he could finish his words, people from the Dali Temple arrived.

More than 20 people could smell the stench of the corpse from a distance.

After entering Ziyun Pavilion and seeing the tragic scene, they forced themselves not to vomit.

Qi Yanzhou left behind the two people he had sent out to do the work, and asked the others to drain the water from the lotus pond.

The three of them avoided the Second Prince's men and came to the entrance of Dengtian Tower.

"Shao Qing, the news that Master Zhang used blood and rotten corpses to grow herbs and killed children to make elixirs has spread throughout the capital."

"The Second Prince's helping Zhang Tianshi escape punishment also caused a lot of controversy, and the Crown Prince took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire."

"The people began to resist the emperor's practice of Taoism to seek immortality, and the students took the lead in writing a blood oath."

"The people who lost their children have gone to Jingzhao Prefecture to demand an explanation."

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Qi Yanzhou knew that the Song family was pushing it behind the scenes.

He frowned slightly, worried that Song Zhiyan would do too much and bring disaster to the Song family.

"You stay here and watch. I'm going back to the Dali Temple."

"Yes, Shaoqing."

Just as Qi Yanzhou was about to leave, Eunuch De came with the Imperial Guards.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that the case of Zhang Tianshi deceiving the Emperor be handed over to this prisoner for handling."

"I accept your order."

Qi Yanzhou knew very well that the emperor and Eunuch De would minimize the adverse effects brought by Zhang Tianshi.

Sadly, they won’t get their wish.

This time, he will force the emperor to issue an edict of repentance!

He called his men who were draining the water in the lotus pond to the shore and said, "Go back to the Dali Temple."

"Yes, Shaoqing."

Everyone who came ashore held a child's skull in their hands and placed it in front of the Royal Guards.

The skull was very white, the eye sockets and nose were hollow and dark, and when I stared at it, I felt like I was being dragged into an abyss.

Eunuch De immediately looked away and asked Qi Yanzhou.

"The child's body was just fished out of the lotus pond, why did the news spread so quickly?"

"The king has been in the palace all the time, so he has no idea."

After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he led his men from the Dali Temple away.

Eunuch De looked at his back with a cold look in his eyes.

He always felt that there was some connection between Qi Yanzhou and the "Ghost Thief"!

Qi Yanzhou noticed the hostile gaze but didn't care.

When he left the palace, it was already completely dark.

The news that Zhang Tianshi committed suicide out of fear of punishment also spread from the palace.

"That damn demon is finally dead. I curse him to go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be able to be reborn!"

"'Ghost Thief' is a good man. If it weren't for him, who knows how many children this evil Taoist would have harmed."

"The Second Prince actually wants to help the demon escape punishment. He deserves death!"

"Practicing Taoism to achieve immortality? You've killed so many children. You won't achieve immortality, you'll only shorten your life!"

"I hope the blood letter from the people can wake the emperor up..."

Ye Chutang walked on the street, listened to the people's discussions, and shook his head.

The people are too naive.

The Dog Emperor is an extreme egoist.

He doesn't even care about the lives of ordinary people, so how could he care about the lives of those young children?

At this moment, he is probably racking his brains to distance himself from the incident and portray himself as a victim.

However, now that Zhang Tianshi is dead and the people know about his evil deeds, it can be considered a happy event.

Ye Chutang returned to the Shangshu Mansion in a happy mood.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Anzhi knelt in front of her and burst into tears.

"Eldest sister, as long as you give me the antidote, I will work like a slave for you, even if it means death!"

He felt anxious and short of breath all day, his vision went dark, and he felt like he was going to die.

Ye Chutang kicked Ye Anzhi away.

"If you want the antidote, there is only one way. Kill Kong Ru after Ye Anling gets married. I'm not kidding."

After saying that, she stepped on Ye Anzhi's chest and left.

Back at Ningchuyuan, Shan'er and Le'er were cooking dinner.

Jinzhi and Hongxiu are playing with Juner.

Ye Chutang waved, "Jun'er, come here, I'll take your pulse for you."

Jun'er's face didn't look very good, but he was smiling happily.

"Eldest sister, Jun'er and Aunt Jin did horse stance together today."

"Practicing Kung Fu is indeed a good way to strengthen your body, but your body is too weak. You can't practice for too long."

After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he took Jun'er's pulse.

"The pulse is stronger than before, and he is recovering well."

"It's because my eldest sister is good at medicine."

"You are so sweet, I will give you a bowl of corn soup tonight."

After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he went to the kitchen.

Shan'er and Le'er stepped forward to greet her, "Miss."

"Did anything happen in the mansion today?"

Shan Er replied, "Madam has invited many doctors to come to the mansion, but none of them could cure her abdominal pain and headache, so the master has entrusted the second young lady's marriage to the old lady.

The second young lady went to Shangshu Kong's house today and came back with two large boxes of make-up. She was very happy. ”

Ye Chutang glanced towards the yard and asked, "Jun'er should know what I did to his mother, right? How does he react?"

The premise that she is willing to save people is that she will not cause trouble for herself.

Le'er knelt down immediately.

"My lady, please understand. The young master has been tortured by the lady since he was a child. He has no feelings for her, only fear.

The second young lady and the eldest young master watched the youngest young master's plight with indifference, and the youngest young master would do the same. ”

Although the young master is only five years old, he is precociously intelligent and knows very well who is good and who is bad.

Although the lady gave him life, she never treated him as a human being, but only as a tool to win favor.

Sometimes she even doubted whether the young master was the lady’s biological son!

"Miss, you are the one who saved the young master from hell. He will be grateful to you for the rest of his life."

Shan Er also said, "Miss, I have been observing the young master. He has no reaction to the Madam's accident."

Ye Chutang knew that Shan'er would not lie to her, so she nodded, "That's good."

"You guys cook, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, call me when it's done."

After returning to the room, Ye Chutang did not rest, but went underground to the royal hot spring villa.

Ice leeches are cold in nature and like heat, so they are best kept in hot springs.

She put the ice leeches in a fine-mesh stainless steel cage and tied it to the spring.

When she was leaving after finishing her work, she heard a piece of gossip about herself.
