Imperial Physician Liu had been silent, but when he saw that Xiao Yunjing was involved, he suddenly said:
"I was saved by the imperial officers and soldiers, but I don't know who saved me. Now I heard from Concubine Jing that General Xiao is my benefactor, and I dare not slander my benefactor."
"I confess that it was Concubine Jing who ordered me to do this! I was greedy for a moment and accepted money from Concubine Jing. I committed this crime. I am willing to die!"
Concubine Jing was so angry that she almost fainted.
You are so loyal to your master!
But in order to clear Xiao Yunjing, Imperial Physician Liu gave Concubine Jing an opportunity. She looked at Helian Qi and said:
"Your Majesty, I will not dare to use an outsider to execute the entire clan, even if I really risk the wrath of the whole world."
"If I am the mastermind, then I will definitely choose someone who is loyal to me. Even if I am caught, I will slander others and clear myself of the conspiracy."
He spread plague in the palace and executed all nine generations of his clan.
Who would do such a thing as sending away the whole family? Who would use money to bribe an outsider who would confess himself in a few words? Could it be that the Dong family could not afford to support death warriors?
Is he necessary?
Helian Qi knew it very well. A person rescued by Xiao Yunjing was working for the Dong family. Did he think I was a fool?
Xiao Xia Zi also witnessed with her own eyes that Su Xian and Imperial Physician Liu met in private.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Xiao Yunyao immediately cried out, her face full of innocence:
"My brother, your concubine, has saved countless people like Liu Yuyi while suppressing the rebellion in the southwest. Does everyone who is saved by my brother have to say that he sent them to the capital?"
"This Imperial Physician Liu is unwilling to slander his lifesaver, so he still has some conscience. Madam Jing, who knows why you bribed outsiders to do things for you? Maybe you just want to frame them."
Concubine Jing's face turned pale and blue.
The two of them were engaged in a verbal battle.
After all, even though Xiao Yunyao was suspicious, there was no definite evidence.
Ning Wanyin watched this scene quietly and said calmly:
"Su Xian just said that you met with Imperial Physician Liu five days ago to inquire about Concubine Hui's condition. Then tell me in detail what you said and how Imperial Physician Liu answered."
"Eunuch Wu, take Imperial Physician Liu to the next room and ask him to repeat every word."
"If your conversations are exactly the same, then you are indeed talking about Concubine Hui's condition. If they don't match..."
"Then you are plotting how to spread the plague."
Ning Wanyin's voice fell.
Su Xian and Imperial Physician Liu were both dumbfounded. Su Xian had only made up an excuse temporarily, and had not checked his testimony with Imperial Physician Liu in advance. If he had to retell what he had said on that day, the details fabricated by both sides would definitely not match...
"It's only been five days. You can't say you've forgotten everything, right?" Ning Wanyin added the last brick.
The scene was very quiet for a moment.
Xiao Yunyao's face was completely frozen. Ning Wanyin...
hateful.
Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief, now she didn't have to take the blame.
Seeing the situation like this, Su Xian had no choice but to kowtow and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. My master didn't know. This was all my own idea."
Helian Qi said coldly, "Pass on my decree. Xiao is immoral. His title will be stripped, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will be imprisoned in Shuyu Garden and will not be allowed to leave for life."
"Your Majesty, I really don't know..." Xiao Yunyao looked at Helian Qi with tears in her eyes, trying to distance herself from the matter.
Helian Qi was too lazy to look at her and said impatiently: "Wang Degui, drag her away!"
If it weren't for Xiao Yunjing, he would have ordered Xiao Yunyao to be executed.
Wang Degui, along with two young eunuchs, quickly dragged Xiao Yunyao away.
"Su Xian and Liu Mou plotted to murder the Concubine Chen, and they are sentenced to death by slicing." Helian Qi ordered. Two consecutive slicings were enough to show the emperor's anger about this matter.
Imperial Physician Liu and Su Xian were escorted away by the Criminal Justice Department.
"You have been wronged, go back to the palace and rest." Helian Qi looked at Concubine Jing and said.
Jingpin stood up, with a grateful look on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight and clearing my name. I am deeply grateful, and I will take my leave!"
Then she bowed to Ning Wanyin and said, "Your Majesty has been frightened, please take care of yourself. Thank you for proving my innocence, I will take my leave."
She knew very well that the fact that Xiao Yunyao was convicted today and that she could escape unscathed was all thanks to Ning Wanyin.
If Ning Wanyin gave birth to a princess, she would definitely let her son give her princess a good future.
But they are destined to be enemies.
All the imperial doctors and palace maids left, leaving only the emperor and his concubine in the room.
"When I was investigating the case of Concubine Dowager De, I discovered that Imperial Physician Liu had delivered medicine to the cold palace. He might be a suspect, so I asked Xiao Xiazi to keep an eye on him early in the morning." Ning Wanyin first recounted the whole story of Concubine Dowager De's case, then looked at Helian Qi and said:
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no serious consequences were caused. Otherwise, if the disease spread from Yonghe Palace, I would have failed your majesty's trust."
She first explained why she sent Xiao Xiazi to follow in advance.
In order to prevent the emperor from thinking that she had foresight and was deliberately setting up a trap against Xiao Yunyao.
She really didn't know what Imperial Physician Liu would do. She guessed that he came to Yonghe Palace with bad intentions just because he met Su Xian.
Helian Qi looked at the young woman in front of him who was explaining every word seriously, and his chest suddenly felt choked up.
After almost catching the disease.
She was only thinking about how to deal with the trouble, and thankfully it didn't spread to the palace, without mentioning a word about her own grievances and panic.
"Wanwan——" Helian Qi stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, his deep voice filled with inexplicable emotions.
Ning Wanyin was startled and looked up at him.
Eyes met.
