Chapter 64 Cutting the Weeds at the Root
Looking at his wife and children who suddenly appeared, Li Nong's cold expression finally showed other emotions.
Shock, worry, heartache, anger...
"They are innocent, why did you bring them here!"
Li Nong shouted, trying to break free from the confinement and go to his wife and children.
One of the imperial guards kicked his legs and made him kneel on the ground.
The woman and the child were heartbroken and wanted to come over, but they were stopped by the imperial guards. The family cried heartbreakingly there.
Lin You sat back in his seat and drank tea.
It turned out that Shen Jing'an had prepared everything and was waiting for Concubine Xian and Li Nong to jump in.
Tsk, I didn't expect that the sickly emperor was still a scheming person.
"Hahaha!"
Concubine Xian suddenly burst into laughter, looking a little crazy.
She walked step by step to Li Nong, bent down and grabbed the man's hair, forcing him to look at her, "Li Nong, didn't you tell me that I was the only one in your heart? What about that woman and those children?"
Li Nong was stunned. He didn't know how to answer Concubine Xian's words.
In his and Prince Yu's plan, this scene was not supposed to happen. Why did it happen?
He had already secretly placed his wife and children in a remote mountain village, and Prince Yu's men were secretly protecting them. How could the emperor still find them?
Prince Yu had clearly promised him that if the truth came out one day and he died, he would guarantee that his wife and children would have a worry-free life and that his son would serve as an official in the court in the future. How could it develop into
this What went wrong?
"Pa--"
Concubine Xian slapped Li Nong in the face, "You lied to me, Li Nong, you actually lied to me, you obviously have a wife and children, why did you lie to me, and provoke me!"
Now, Concubine Xian only felt that she was a joke, like a monkey played and deceived by Li Nong, letting everyone watch.
Li Nong and the woman and children are a family, and they are true love.
After being beaten, Li Nong did not look at Concubine Xian, but kowtowed three times to Shen Jing'an, "Your Majesty, please let them go, they are innocent. As long as you let them go, I will give out the person behind the scenes who ordered the two of us."
"Pa..."
Concubine Xian slapped Li Nong in the face again, "Li Nong, I just want to ask you one question, is your love for me real?"
"No."
Li Nong was beaten and got angry. He turned around and yelled, his eyes bloodshot.
Concubine Xian's expression suddenly broke apart, like a broken person, and she stiffly said, "Why did you come to provoke me? Why?"
"Because I was forced, forced by you high and mighty people. In your eyes, our lives are just ants, so we can only let you control and trample us!"
Concubine Xian took a step back frivolously, her face pale, "So, you were..."
"Well..."
Concubine Xian was halfway through her words when an arrow suddenly shot into her stomach. She was speechless, lowered her head in disbelief, and touched her stomach with trembling hands. The bright red blood instantly soaked her hands.
She uttered a sentence with difficulty, "My, child..."
Child!
Li Nong's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes fell on Concubine Xian's belly.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Dozens of arrows suddenly shot over, and Li Nong fell to the ground. All the imperial guards ran over to protect him, and the woman and the child were also hit by arrows.
"Yan Zhi."
Shen Jing'an shouted coldly, and Yan Zhi immediately chased in the direction of the arrows. The man in the dark fled, and the courtyard returned to peace.
After a long while, everyone came back to their senses. The tutor stumbled to Concubine Xian, picked her up, tears streaming down his face, anxiously calling for the imperial physician, and the old pharmacist hurried forward to help stop the bleeding. Concubine
Xian tightly grasped the hand of the Grand Tutor, her eyes full of guilt, "Dad, I am the one who got into trouble. I have failed you and mother in raising me, and I have failed your expectations. I am sorry..."
After uttering these words with difficulty, Concubine Xian's eyes gradually closed.
The hand holding the Grand Tutor also suddenly fell to the ground.
The old pharmacist sighed and patted the Grand Tutor on the shoulder, "One body, two lives."
Li Nong, the woman and their two children were all dead.
It was obvious that this was to uproot the weeds.
"Cough cough..."
Shen Jing'an coughed violently. He felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and the next second blood flowed from his lips.
"Your Majesty."
Eunuch Hong exclaimed, and the people from the Yu Pharmacy were about to come and check on Shen Jing'an, but the pale and weak man raised his hand to stop them and refused their touch.
He wiped the blood from his lips elegantly and said coldly: "Take Pharmacist Gao and Pharmacist Zhen to jail."
"What!"
The two Yu pharmacists were shocked by the sudden words.
"Your Majesty, did we do something wrong?"
The two people knelt down, looking puzzled.
Their legs trembled with fear.
"You know what you did."
Shen Jing'an glanced at the two Yu pharmacists coldly.
This is why Shen Jing'an asked the people from the Yu Pharmacy to come.
His health has not improved for so many years, and it is inevitable that the people from the Yu Pharmacy have done something wrong.
Just now, the two pharmacists tried their best to stop Lin You from doing the experiment, which was enough to show the doubts.
Now, most of the people in this palace are Prince Yu's people, and he needs to remove them bit by bit.
On the dragon couch, Lin You massaged Shen Jing'an to input the energy.
Maybe he was tired, Shen Jing'an fell asleep soon.
At that time, in Prince Yu's mansion.
"Has the matter of Concubine Xian been dealt with?"
Shen Yu sat in the study, writing while asking the man in black who had just come in.
The man in black knelt on one knee and reported, "It's dealt with."
"Well, that's good."
"But..."
The man in black hesitated.
Shen Yu paused with the pen in his hand, then looked up at the man in black, "What's wrong?"
"The emperor removed the people from the Yu Medicine Court."
Shen Yu frowned, "When did this waste start to have a brain?"
"Prince, Yang Zhongxing and Wu Shen are here."
The housekeeper of Prince Yu's mansion walked in.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yu's face instantly sank.
"Got it."
Throwing away the pen in his hand, Shen Yu walked out of the study.
"Your Highness."
Two men of similar height stood in the front hall, one stood straight, and the other looked around.
When Wu Shen saw Shen Yu coming in, he bowed respectfully.
But Yang Zhongxing just pretended to be lazy and didn't even call him Your Highness.
Shen Yu glanced at Yang Zhongxing, "You are the second son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat."
"Yes, that's right."
Yang Zhongxing nodded, but his eyes were not on Shen Yu, and his eyes were still glancing around.
Shen Yu frowned. It was the first time he saw someone dare to ignore him like this.
Wu Shen at the side sneered, "Brother Yang, have
you never seen the world? Since you came in, you've been like Granny Liu strolling around the garden." Yang Zhongxing shook his head, "No, no, it's not that I haven't seen the world, but it's precisely because I've seen too much that I can tell that two-thirds of these expensive furniture in the prince's mansion are fakes."
