Chapter 41: Not a sudden death, but a murder

Xia Zhengqi said with a bit of apology: "Old Wei, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sadness."

[Wow, Dad, you did it on purpose! Tsk tsk tsk, what a great acting!]

Xia Miaoyuan was held by the prince, playing with the gold embroidery on her brother's robe with her little hands, while looking at Xia Zhengqi and Wei Han.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing. It's been 4 years." Wei Han calmed down and took a sip of tea.

Wei Sanchuan sighed: "Your Majesty, you don't know that my third sister is the youngest child in the family and the most beloved by her parents."

"My father was worried about her marriage back then, and later carefully selected Lord Liu Hong as a good match."

Xia Zhengqi suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember now. You do have a sister who married Lord Liu."

Wei Sanchuan nodded and continued: "My third sister Yu'er followed Lord Liu, and the couple lived in harmony. It was originally very good."

"Who would have thought that she would suddenly die four years ago at the age of 27."

"Because of this, my father and mother were heartbroken."

[What sudden death? It was because the heartless Liu Hong poisoned her food. 】

Xia Miaoyuan recalled the plot in the book and said indignantly.

【After being poisoned for several days, a healthy woman suddenly fell ill and could not be cured. 】

【In five days, she died. 】

Xia Zhengqi and the prince were shocked when they heard Xia Miaoyuan's words.

"Alas, she was only 27 years old. It's such a pity." Xia Zhengqi's tone was full of regret.

"Before your sister passed away, were there any signs? Could it be that she had some disease before, but was careless and didn't pay attention?" The prince asked deliberately.

Wei Han lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Yu'er has been in good health since she was a child, and she pays attention to health care. She has never had any serious illness..."

Wei Han hesitated, as if trying to suppress his emotions. He paused and said: "I think she is unlucky!"

"What did the doctors say?" Xia Zhengqi looked at Wei Han with concern.

"We invited doctors from the public and even the imperial physician. Alas, they all said there was no way..." Wei Sanchuan seemed to recall the sad past, with a slightly sad expression.

[Humph, what can't be cured? ]

Xia Miaoyuan rolled his eyes.

[Liu Hong pretended to invite two doctors, and secretly gave them money to make the doctors say so on purpose. 】

【Wei Yuer was poisoned, not a complicated disease. Even an ordinary doctor could tell that it was poisoning. 】

【Three days after Wei Yuer was poisoned, the Wei family heard that their daughter was seriously ill and went to visit her. They were quite dissatisfied with their son-in-law. Liu Hong had no choice but to invite the imperial physician to diagnose and treat her. 】

Xia Zhengqi listened attentively to his daughter's thoughts and deliberately said, "Oh? Even the imperial physician said that it can't be cured. It must be a very difficult disease."

Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips.

【The imperial physician Liu Hong invited was naturally one of his own. 】

【I remember that he invited the famous imperial physician An. Imperial physician An seemed to have superb medical skills in the Imperial Hospital, but in fact he only cared about fame and fortune. 】 Imperial physician An

? Xia Zhengqi was stunned.

Imperial physician An was one of the best doctors in the Imperial Hospital.

【For fame and fortune, Imperial Physician An had long since surrendered to the Jiang family. He had done many bad things for the Empress Dowager and the treacherous concubine.】 【

Liu Hong asked him to treat Wei Yuer. In fact, without Liu Hong telling him, Imperial Physician Jiang had already hinted to him that he must not reveal the real cause of Wei Yuer's illness and must not save Wei Yuer.】

Xia Miaoyuan recalled this and could not help but exhale fiercely.

Xia Zhengqi picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and skimmed the tea foam, pretending to drink tea, but in fact he was already very emotional.

I didn't expect that in the Imperial Hospital of Daxia, there was actually such a ruthless person as Imperial Physician An.

"What's incurable? It's all lies!"

A sharp shout broke the pent-up air in the main hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy of about ten years old with a red face, walking quickly towards the main hall.

Behind him were two panting maids.

With a thud, the boy knelt down at Xia Zhengqi's feet: "You are the emperor, right? Please give me justice!"

Wei Han and Wei Sanchuan were both pale with fear.

Wei Sanchuan quickly ran over and stretched out his hand to cover the boy's mouth.

Wei Han forced a smile awkwardly and explained to Xia Zhengqi: "The child was ignorant and disturbed the emperor. I beg your majesty to forgive him."

At this time, a graceful and wealthy old lady ran to the main hall with small steps, her old face flushed.

She suppressed her frightened expression and bowed to Xia Zhengqi and the prince: "I didn't discipline my grandson well, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"This is my mother." Wei Sanchuan introduced Xia Zhengqi.

"Oh, it turns out to be Madam Wei, please stand up quickly." Xia Zhengqi smiled slightly, raised his hand, and signaled to Madam Wei.

"Then this child, is it your grandson, Mr. Wei?" Xia Zhengqi looked at Wei Han.

"Well, he is my grandson, Yu'er's only son." Wei Han pretended to be calm.

"So you are the eldest son of Mr. Liu. Get up quickly. Sanchuan, stop covering his mouth." Xia Zhengqi looked at the boy kindly.

"I have always liked children and have always been tolerant of them. It's nothing for a child. I won't blame you." Xia Zhengqi curled his lips.

[Ah! Wei Yu'er's child! ? ]

After hearing Wei Han's introduction, Xia Miaoyuan's big black eyes suddenly widened and looked at the boy carefully.

[This is the Liu Mingyuan in the book who avenged his mother and killed his own father! ]

[I didn't expect him to be such a weak boy. ]

What? Avenged his mother and killed his own father!

Xia Zhengqi and the prince looked at Liu Mingyuan kneeling on the ground in shock.

Although Wei Sanchuan was still very worried, he could only take his hand off Liu Mingyuan after hearing what Xia Zhengqi said.

"Your Majesty, my name is Liu Mingyuan, my mother is Wei Yuer, but Liu Hong is not my father! He is a murderer!" Liu Mingyuan said loudly, his clear eyes piercing people's hearts.

Wei Han's face was gloomy, his hands were shaking: "Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Quick, Madam, take him away!" Wei Han no longer cared about his manners, stood up and shouted at Madam Wei.

"Wait!" Xia Zhengqi raised his hand, his expression was indifferent.

"Just let him speak out. I think this child seems to have a great grievance to complain."

Madam Wei and two maids were trying hard to drag Liu Mingyuan, and they had to stop when they heard Xia Zhengqi's order.

Xia Zhengqi gave a look to eunuch Debao, who immediately sent all the servants in the main hall out.

Wei Han, Madam Wei, and Wei Sanchuan all had gloomy faces, only Liu Mingyuan looked normal.

"Okay, there's no one else in the main hall now. Liu Mingyuan, just say whatever you want to say!" Xia Zhengqi looked at Liu Mingyuan.

Liu Mingyuan knelt on the ground, straightened his body, and looked at him with a scorching gaze: "Your Majesty the Emperor is wise. Today I am going to sue the Minister of War Liu Hong for poisoning my wife Wei Yuer."
