Disfigured Female Doctor 36
Zhou Shi’s bad thoughts became even stronger, and he slowly turned around.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but the moment he looked intently, a breeze blew from the palace door, blowing up Chen Wanyue's veil.
"!!" He opened his mouth subconsciously, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of his eye sockets, "How...?"
Chen Wanyue didn't say anything, but there was sadness in her eyes, and a hint of nostalgia, as if she was happy to see her father: "Father..."
When she shouted the word "father", she suppressed the nausea in her heart. Is such a person worthy of being a father?
Zhou Wan was really angry at that time, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to leave home first...
After death, she sought to end her father's life.
Shen Wanyue drove the thoughts out of her mind.
Looking directly at Zhou Shi in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Long time no see."
Zhou Shi quickly adjusted his expression.
At this moment, he was weighing whether to acknowledge this "daughter".
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhao came by themselves, and they may have made up their minds...
But if I endure it, does what I said before, that my daughter passed away not long ago, mean I was lying?
If you don't admit that you have deceived the king, you don't know what troubles will arise later if you admit it.
After a moment, Zhou Shi thought of a countermeasure and shouted at Chen Wanyue: "How dare you! How can you be my daughter?! She is dead, and you are replacing a dead person. Aren't you afraid of retribution? "
Shen Wanyue and Xiao Zhaoming knew that he would deny it, so they didn't react much.
Chen Wanyue was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Zhaoming, who asked in a puzzled tone, "Oh? She's not your daughter? But why did His Majesty show the same expression when he asked you to look back at Madam Zhou?"
The emperor had already noticed it himself, but the empress dowager had been observing several people in the palace.
She finally set her sights on Zhou Shi. As long as he didn't give in, she would have a chance to save him.
Even if it is really a serious crime, I should persuade the woman who claims to be Zhou Shi’s daughter to consider the father-daughter relationship and not make things too embarrassing.
If Chen Wanyue knew, she would just say she was overthinking.
The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Zhaoming: "Zhaoming, I can't just believe your one-sided words."
Xiao Zhaoming took a step forward.
He knew in his heart that if this matter had not endangered the Queen Mother, the Emperor in front of him would have put it behind him long ago: "Your Highness has evidence."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Wanyue, "This Madam Zhou has evidence." Xiao Zhaoming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his index finger made a mark on his thumb. This time, he will make the Queen Mother pay the price...
Shen Wanyue was prepared. After Xiao Zhaoming brought the topic to herself, she bowed to the two people above her, then stared straight at Zhou Shi, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She burst into tears: "Father.....you don't even want to acknowledge your daughter now?"
Zhou Shi's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed his saliva.
Now I'm being put on the spot. I just denied that the other party was pretending. Naturally, I need to grit my teeth and get through it!
"Oh! I don't know who you are, yet you want to frame me! I, Zhou Shixing, am upright and honest. You pretended to be his daughter for no reason. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" The voice became louder and louder, as if it were really the case.
The Queen Mother just looked at the people below, observing Xiao Zhaoming from time to time...
It’s just Zhou Shi’s family affairs...it’s hard to involve me, right?
Although he thought so in his heart, he held the wooden stick tightly in his hand.
Xiao Zhaoming looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
It makes people wonder whether he said he wanted to appeal for injustice?
"Father...are you unwilling to acknowledge your daughter now?" Chen Wanyue lowered her eyebrows sadly, the abscess on her face made it look even more weird.
She raised her head again, tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked at the emperor on the throne: "Your Majesty, I have evidence."
The emperor didn't say anything at first, but glanced at Zhou Shi indifferently. How could someone not even recognize his own daughter?
Xiao Zhaoming has no need to lie to himself...
Zhou Shi is lying?
How can a person who doesn't even want to recognize his own flesh and blood be a good person?
Do people like this really put human life first?
"Go ahead."
After saying this, he signaled the eunuch beside him to go down, but no one knew what he was going to do.
At this moment, any tiny movement would arouse Zhou Shi's emotions, and he looked downwards.
There were several people on the field with different emotions.
Shen Wanyue suppressed her excitement—she would be able to go back soon.
"Ahem..." She slowly took out a small object from her sleeve. Xiao Zhaoming took a quick look and saw that it was a wooden sign made of wood.
It wasn’t too big, and Shen Wanyue could just hold it in one hand.
There was a bitter smile on her lips: "Father, do you still recognize her?"
"This is..." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiao Zhaoming took it in his hands and held it in front of the emperor with both hands.
When passing by Zhou Shi, he turned the wooden sign over so that the pattern on it could be displayed in front of people.
Zhou Shi took a deep breath. When he saw the words engraved on it, he remembered something about this wooden sign...
It was a wooden plaque that Zhou Wan made when she was a child, and it had her nickname engraved on it.
He had long forgotten about this trivial matter.
I didn't expect Zhou Wan still kept it...
If you compare your own carvings with them, you will definitely be discovered!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked up at the Queen Mother who was sitting high on the throne: You must save me!
When the Queen Mother saw this, she felt bad.
Damn untouchables!
There is no point in getting angry. Let's solve the current problem first and then deal with this Zhou Shi.
After the emperor took over, Shen Wanyue supported herself and said, "Your Majesty, this was done by my father himself. As long as we compare it, it can prove my identity as a commoner... In addition..."
The emperor flipped through the wooden sign in his hand, and when Shen Wanyue paused, he raised his eyes and said, "Hmm?"
In front of the emperor, where does he stand when he is told to keep half and the other half?
Shen Wanyue coughed a few more times.
Xiao Zhaoming knew something and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, could you please send the imperial physician to take a look at her?" After he finished speaking, he sighed, as if he sympathized with Shen Wanyue's experience.
Looking at Chen Wanyue's face, the emperor waved his hand, and a different face came in from outside the hall. It was not the one who had just left.
Little eunuch.
"His Majesty."
The emperor said, "Go find the imperial physician."
The young eunuch stood at the door with his head lowered, and the emperor could not see his face clearly.
"Yes." Then he turned and left.
Chen Wanyue took a deep breath and continued, "The poison in my body is the best evidence."
At this point, Zhou Shi raised his voice: "What do you mean by that?"
"....What is father so excited about?" Chen Wanyue laughed sarcastically, "Daughter didn't say anything?"
The Queen Mother had a worse impression of Zhou Shi. She coughed and said, "Ahem."
The emperor said with concern: "Wait for the imperial physician to come and take a look at you. You have been coughing for the past few days..."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The Queen Mother also found that she had been coughing more and more frequently in recent days.
She thought it was just because of her age, but she remembered that she had always used Zhou Shi to treat her illness, so it couldn't be...
Without waiting for anyone to think, Chen Wanyue continued, "I was poisoned by the Man Poison. In this world, apart from your father and your master, only you can make the Man Poison."
"What nonsense!" Zhou Shi said subconsciously, "Zhang Geng also has a way to control the poison!"
After he said it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Xiao Zhaoming looked back at Shen Wanyue, wondering what she was thinking. This was different from what they had discussed before.
The emperor has always been very concerned about the empress dowager's affairs, especially after she grew older and her health deteriorated.
Doctor Zhou knows how to make poison, especially the unpredictable poison Mandu, and there is no guarantee that he can make other poisons that are deadly.
Thinking of this, the emperor became more determined to get rid of Zhou Shi.
But the Queen Mother didn't think so.
She spoke up at this time: "Emperor, why not let me handle this matter. There is no need for Your Majesty to worry about Doctor Zhou's family affairs."
The emperor thought: "How can matters concerning the Queen Mother be considered trivial?"
Xiao Zhaoming had long guessed that the Queen Mother wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but how could he do as she wished?
Shen Wanyue looked at him subconsciously, but the pain in her body became more severe and her mind was unable to react for a while.
At this moment, a sharp voice spread to every corner of the hall: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"What's the commotion?" The emperor frowned unhappily. After seeing who was coming, he continued to ask, "Have the people you asked me to invite come?
It turned out to be the eunuch who had been called out by him earlier.
The eunuch trotted in, panting, and his voice was lowered, but still heard by everyone: "On the way to bring the person here, I happened to meet a group of people... um, carrying something into the palace."
"What?"
At the critical moment, Xiao Zhaoming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I ordered someone to bring it here."
"oh?"
The young eunuch was shocked, stepped forward, and said something after getting the emperor's permission.
This remark made veins pop up on the emperor's forehead. "How dare you! Xiao Zhaoming, I see that you have grown bold in Tanzhou, and you actually dared to let someone carry a corpse in here!"
"!"
Everyone looked shocked.
Shen Wanyue coughed loudly, but the emperor thought she was just frightened.
The Queen Mother looked unhappy. What exactly did Xiao Zhaoming want to do?
Since things do not follow common sense, it is naturally impossible to speculate on Xiao Zhaoming's behavior using common sense thinking.
Xiao Zhaoming said: "This is the witness I mentioned."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Oh, the person is dead, how can there be any witness? Bring the body into the palace and be prepared to pay the price."
He nodded: "The Queen Mother is right. But before paying the price, I hope Your Majesty can do justice for Madam Zhou. I also care about the Queen Mother. Doctor Zhou knows poison. If he is serving the Queen Mother... I hope I am overthinking it."
Isn't this a curse on her?! The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest heaved.
The emperor shouted, "Xiao Zhaoming!"
Xiao Zhaoming did not explain too much, he just knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
Shen Wanyue's eyelids twitched, "How audacious!"
He did not shut up and continued, "Your Majesty, please listen to me carefully. I said in advance that I would bring evidence. This is the 'evidence'."
The emperor looked grim: "So... you brought the body here openly?"
The young eunuch had a frightened expression and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is so bold, we must not let him go! Your Majesty, you don't know that the man's face is festering, and the rotten flesh is attached to the bones... Oh my, I'm scared to death! Hey, the symptoms are similar to this lady..."
After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wanyue's face.
