Chapter 415 Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 24
Led by the eunuch, Du Zhong walked into the hall.
Yun Zhiruo looked at him in surprise, her eyes filled with hope.
The Master is here!
As long as the master stands on her side and insists that the golden needle was stolen, she can turn the tables!
pity.
After Du Zhong looked at her, he shook his head and looked away in disappointment.
Yun Zhiruo suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next moment, Du Zhong kowtowed to the emperor and said truthfully: "The Panlong Golden Needle in Yun Zhichu's hand was indeed given by a commoner, and its origin is clean. At that time..."
Du Zhong explained the causes and consequences of giving the golden needles as a gift.
During this process, people kept casting meaningful glances at Yun Zhiruo.
Yun Zhiruo's face was burning and she was extremely anxious.
She stared at Du Zhong and guided him: "Master, didn't you tell me in person that the golden needle was stolen?"
Master, admit it!
Even if you admit that you made a slip of the tongue or didn't explain clearly, it's less of a crime than me framing Yun Zhichu!
Master, this concerns my future, can you please have mercy on me one more time!
Du Zhong received Yun Zhiruo's pleading eyes and was hesitating whether to go against his life creed and lie to save the child. But at this moment, he unexpectedly saw the half magnolia jade pendant on Cha Jiu's waist.
His eyes widened slowly, and he asked Cha Jiu in surprise and anxiety: "Why is this jade pendant on you?"
Cha Jiu looked down at the jade pendant, then looked back at Du Zhong with a puzzled expression: "This is a relic of my biological mother."
At first she asked Mrs. Yun whether there was a keepsake next to her mother's body, but she replied that there was none.
But when Pei Yu was reburying his original mother, he discovered the jade pendant.
Cha Jiu does not think it is unlucky or dirty, but wipes it clean and wears it all the time as a reminder.
Du Zhong trembled his lips and said, "This is the Du family's heirloom jade pendant. It is divided into two parts. One half is with my son, and the other half is with my daughter-in-law."
After saying that, he looked up at Cha Jiu, tears streaming down his face: "You are my little granddaughter, where is your mother now?"
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect there was such a relationship between the two.
Cha Jiu looked at Pei Yu at a loss, and the latter was also surprised, but still secretly held her hand to give her courage.
Cha Jiu then said hesitantly: "My mother is dead."
Eucommia ulmoides is very powerful.
Cha Jiu told the whole story of the Yun family's baby swap.
Everyone's views were once again refreshed by the Yun family's shamelessness.
Du Zhong was especially furious when he heard that Old Lady Yun had buried his original mother casually on the mountain without even erecting a tombstone; but had handed Yun Zhiruo, who was mistakenly thought to be a dead baby, to a passing monk to chant sutras for her soul-reincarnation, and then buried her in a coffin made of a large sum of money.
"My son died while trying to save you from being hunted by bandits, and he even entrusted his wife, who was about to give birth, to you to take care of. But not only did you replace the child, you didn't even give my daughter-in-law a decent burial place!"
Du Zhong said bitterly.
When he arrived that year, his son was already dying. He only said that his daughter-in-law had left with a family surnamed Yun.
But there were so many families with the surname Yun that he had no idea where to start looking. He just assumed that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter were still alive but had lost him.
So he traveled all over the mountains and fields for many years, searching everywhere.
But she didn't expect that her daughter-in-law had died long ago, her granddaughter was framed and chased away, and now she was framed as a thief and almost went to jail!
How hateful the Yun family is!
The emperor listened to his minister's family scandals with great interest, and even made an intriguing comment: "Doctor Yun, you really have a family background in learning."
Doctor Yun almost knelt down and stammered to explain: "Your Majesty, your mother took the child away and saved her life..."
Du Zhong said angrily: "If you really have good intentions, you should have sent someone to watch over there to see if the woman in labor has any family members looking for her. Besides, right after you left, I found the straw hut under the guidance of the monk. Even if you hadn't taken her away, I would have been able to find her in time!"
It wouldn't be possible for relatives to be separated for so many years!
Cha Jiu retreated behind Pei Yu and quietly buried her face in his shoulder, making it impossible to see her expression.
Pei Yu felt extremely distressed. He lowered his head and stroked her face with his big hands.
"Zhichu, don't be sad, I'm here." He comforted her in a gentle voice.
Cha Jiu raised her tear-stained face and asked carefully, "Will Your Highness always be by my side?"
Pei Yu said without hesitation: "Of course."
As long as you need me, I will always be by your side.
But what about you?
At the beginning, what kind of identity did you want me to protect you?
At this moment, Pei Yu was comforting Cha Jiu, but his mood was extremely complicated.
The past, all the truth, all clear.
At this point, it was naturally impossible for Du Zhong to help Yun Zhiruo cover up her jealousy and malicious frame-up.
However, Yun Zhiruo had cured the Empress Dowager's intestinal constipation two years ago.
The Empress Dowager sent someone to plead for mercy, and the Emperor spared her from prison.
But in this battle for the golden needle, both the Fourth Prince and the Yun family had already lost completely.
…
The emperor forced Du Zhong to stay in the palace to diagnose his pulse.
Pei Yu and Cha Jiu met General Xue and Xue Ling on their way out of the palace.
Xue Ling's eyes lit up when she saw Cha Jiu, and she ran over to look her up and down: "Female doctor, are you okay?"
Cha Jiu was confused: "Why are you here?"
Xue Ling: "My father and I heard that you were framed by a villain, so we came to rescue you as soon as possible!"
He spoke very loudly, not caring at all that Imperial Physician Yun and Yun Zhiruo were standing beside him.
The father and daughter both looked very ugly.
Pei Yu looked at General Xue with a questioning look in his eyes.
General Xue seemed to have forgotten that Pei Yu was still deposed. He still saluted him respectfully and said, "Doctor Yun saved my son's life. I should repay him. So today I bring the gold medal of immunity from death that Your Majesty once gave me, hoping to help Doctor Yun."
Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
After General Xue finished speaking, not only Cha Jiu, but even the calm Pei Yu could not help but reveal a slightly surprised expression.
Yun Zhiruo looked at these people with hatred, biting her lips until they bled.
Why does God favor Yun Zhichu so much?
Pile all the good things in front of her.
It seems that no one in the world would not help her!
But Pei Yu soon figured it out.
The golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the emperor for the sake of face was of no real use to the Xue family and was even a hot potato.
If the Xue family was used on himself, he could avoid being sentenced to death once, but not the second time; it would be better to use it to protect an insignificant person, which would allow the emperor to feel at ease as soon as possible.
However, despite this, the Xue family's gratitude to Cha Jiu was sincere and priceless.
When Xue Ling saw Cha Jiu, he was as excited as a bird seeing a bug.
Chatting non-stop.
General Xue couldn't help but smile and said, "These two kids really get along well."
Pei Yu had originally considered whether to marry Cha Jiu to Xue Ling, but when he heard the words "compatible" and "well-matched", his eyes suddenly became alert.
They both spoke at the same time.
General Xue: "Why not let the two kids get married..."
Pei Yu quickly refused: "No."
"...Sisters and brothers." General Xue choked, "Okay."
“…”
Pei Yu looked slightly embarrassed.
Yun An smiled and said, "But our Ah Chu and Young Master Xue do look somewhat similar!"
It was originally just a casual remark.
But after General Xue glanced at Cha Jiu casually, his eyes gradually became filled with surprise.
