Chapter 411 (Additional Words) Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 20
The two young masters of the Yun family are narrow-minded and vicious.
Imperial Physician Yun knew this.
Yun Zhiruo also suffered greatly.
But this does not mean that they are willing to let the emperor know about this. After all, the family has always been a place where everyone prospers together and suffers together. If the vicious gossip of the Yun brothers spreads out, it will also affect Yun Zhiruo's reputation and affect the marriage proposal.
really.
The emperor and the people around him listened and cast complicated looks at them.
Even the Fourth Prince frowned slightly and quietly distanced himself from Yun Zhiruo.
With a brother like this, would Yun Zhiruo also be so vicious and evil? Is she still worthy of being his concubine?
After a moment of panic, Yun Zhiruo quickly calmed down.
She first forced a smile and defended her brother: "Yun Zhichu, did you remember that your two brothers were kind and generous, and they cared deeply about the relationship between brothers. Even though you made the big mistake of poisoning grandma's medicine and were driven out of the Yun family, they always missed and worried about you. How could they say such vicious words?"
Yun Zhiruo specifically mentioned the fact that Old Madam Yun’s medicinal food was poisoned.
One is to divert people's attention from the Yun brothers.
Second, he wanted to tell the emperor that Yun Zhichu was the truly vicious person and that what she said could not be trusted at all.
It can be said that this achieves two goals with one stone.
The Fourth Prince's expression eased slightly.
Pei Yu looked at Yun Zhiruo with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
Cha Jiu was not in a hurry, and slowly turned the table: "Your Majesty, back then, Madam Yun's medicine was mixed with something that counteracted herb, the herb of longevity. The herb of longevity is rare and cannot be bought in private pharmacies. Only the palace and a few imperial doctors have a small amount of it."
"As far as I know, the Yun Mansion's rules for managing medicinal materials are the same as those in the palace. There are ledgers for storage and withdrawal. Your Majesty can send someone to check and find out who took the Longevity Grass during the period when Old Madam Yun was poisoned."
The more Doctor Yun listened, the more frightened he became. He just hoped that Cha Jiu would stop talking, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Yes, he already knew that it was his second son Yun Jingwen who poisoned him.
But by the time he discovered the truth, Cha Jiu had already been driven out.
For the sake of Yun Jingwen's reputation, he had no choice but to make the best of the situation and let his adopted daughter take the blame.
The emperor himself was an expert at playing tricks, with a sharp eye, he could tell the truth from the guilty and pale face of Doctor Yun at a glance.
He shook his head and said, "The Yun family's children are narrow-minded and have bad character. They are not worthy of being used."
Such a simple sentence.
But it is equivalent to completely destroying the future prospects of the Yun family's descendants.
Who dares to employ, befriend, or marry someone whom the emperor criticizes?
Doctor Yun staggered and was about to faint on the spot.
The Fourth Prince's expression, which had just relaxed, became solemn again.
It seems that he has to reconsider his marriage with Yun Zhiruo.
Yun Zhiruo supported Doctor Yun. She looked calm on the surface, but in fact she had bitten her lower lip. She hated Cha Jiu who was standing in front of her calmly.
She doesn't understand.
Did she owe Yun Zhichu in her previous life?
Why wasn't it enough for him to have robbed her of her lavish life for ten years, and robbed Pei Yu, and now he wanted to destroy her marriage and future?
Thinking of this, Yun Zhiruo's eyes turned red. She was filled with resentment and no longer cared about anything else. She only wanted to thoroughly prove Yun Zhichu's crime of stealing the golden needle so that she could go to hell with him.
Yun Zhiruo then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I still have doubts about the golden needle. Although Yun Zhichu answered the questions of the imperial doctors fluently, this is not uncommon, and I can do it. But my master once said that unless he finds someone with better medical skills and talent than me, he will never accept another disciple."
"I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to compete with Yun Zhichu. If I win, the golden needle will be returned to its original owner, and the offender will receive the due punishment. If I lose, I will be convinced and the matter of the golden needle will not be pursued any further."
After saying that, she looked at Cha Jiu with a provocative and cold gaze.
She must kill the other party today.
Although the Fourth Prince had lost interest in accepting Yun Zhiruo, he naturally spoke up to help out when it came to matters that might affect Pei Yu:
"It's fair to have a competition. It will also let everyone see how talented the second disciple chosen by the Ghost Doctor is."
At this point, if the emperor did not agree with the competition and pardoned Cha Jiu, it would be too obvious that he was biased.
It's just a woman.
If he lost the competition and went to jail, he would give Pei Yu a good reward.
The emperor thought so and realized that his guilt towards his son was not as important as his own face, so he agreed to the competition.
"Wait." Cha Jiu said suddenly.
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Are you afraid and want to refuse the competition?"
Yun Zhiruo's eyes flashed with pride, but a sympathetic and forgiving smile appeared on her face: "Yun Zhichu, if you confess your guilt now and return the golden needle, everything will still be fine."
Unexpectedly, Cha Jiu said, "I don't want to refuse the competition, but I think the punishment after the competition is a bit unfair. If I lose, I will be implicated and sentenced to prison; but if you lose, Miss Yun, you only need to say to me that you are convinced. I'm afraid this is not equal."
Yun Zhiruo: "Then what do you want?"
Cha Jiu: "If you lose, I will add another condition: Go around the capital and shout 'My medical skills are not as good as Yun Zhichu's, and I am still a stingy person who frames others', how about it?"
Yun Zhiruo was very confident in her medical skills and didn't think she would lose, so she agreed without hesitation.
When Cha Jiu stepped aside, Pei Yu whispered, "Just use the competition to delay time. I have sent someone to find Du Zhong to enter the palace to prove your innocence."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am sure of victory." Cha Jiu said with a smile. The self-confidence in his eyes and brows was brighter than the scorching sun outside, making his stunning face even more dazzling.
Even in such a tense environment, Pei Yu couldn't help but be distracted by this face and lost his mind for a few seconds.
"Father, didn't officials in the south report a few days ago that several 'tuberculosis villages' had appeared in the area? Why don't we ask the two of you to write a prescription for curing tuberculosis and then find patients to use it. If it works, we can also promote it in the south to benefit the people." The fourth prince said hypocritically.
He seemed to be working for the benefit of the people, but in fact he was intentionally biased towards Yun Zhiruo.
Tuberculosis is considered a terminal disease nowadays, and only Eucommia ulmoides has the experience of curing several cases.
The Fourth Prince happened to know that Yun Zhiruo had recently been discussing with Du Zhong the prescription for treating tuberculosis, so he ordered people to bring in several refugees with tuberculosis for Yun Zhiruo to try out the medicine on. She was able to save five out of ten, which was considered a remarkable achievement.
It was just that Yun Zhiruo wanted to further improve the prescription, so she didn't make it public.
Since it concerned the people, the emperor readily agreed.
So the eunuch brought a table and served writing brushes and ink.
Yun Zhiruo already had the answer in her mind, and she wrote down several prescriptions with a flourish of her pen.
Instead, Cha Jiu stood at the table and did not write for a long time.
Pei Yu suddenly felt nervous.
Wasn't this tuberculosis cured at the beginning? Why don't you write about it now? Have you forgotten it?
Damn it, why haven't my men found Du Zhong yet?
At this moment, Pei Yu's mind was racing, thinking about what the chances of success would be if he started the abdication campaign now.
The fourth prince also looked at Cha Jiu with a mocking look on his face and said, "Why don't you write it? Can't you, a talented little doctor, come up with a prescription to cure tuberculosis?"
