The imperial physicians passed around Fan Zu'an's introduction to medicinal herbs, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
These herbs were planted in the Imperial Medical Academy year after year, yet the staff had no idea of their medicinal properties.
I have never seen Lu Dacheng use this herb, but every year Lu Dacheng would have the female physician harvest and store it.
However, after checking each courtyard over the past two days, they did not find any stock of these herbs.
That means Lu Dacheng used up these herbs without anyone noticing.
Li Ting asked Wang Yangchun to separate the imperial physicians, medical officers, and female physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy, and gave them paper and pens to write down Lu Dacheng's strangeness.
Wang Yangchun made arrangements immediately.
Wang Yangchun took out the Imperial Medical Academy's roster from his pocket and handed it to Li Ting: "Grand Tutor Li, the Imperial Medical Academy is maintaining its original state from top to bottom, inside and out. In fact, no one in the Imperial Medical Academy has left since Lu Dacheng's death. You can ask with confidence."
Li Ting inwardly praised Wang Yangchun, thinking that he was a capable person, but unfortunately he had been suppressed by Lu Dacheng for so many years.
An hour later, Li Ting's desk was covered with testimonies from the imperial physicians, doctors, and female physicians.
Li Ting flipped through them one by one.
Inside the Imperial Hospital, Lu Dacheng's behavior appeared to be relatively normal.
There must have been many things that were inconvenient to do in the palace, so he didn't show it.
However, all the testimonies had one thing in common: the physicians around Lu Dacheng would always be replaced for no apparent reason.
Over the years, five or six have already been replaced.
The last physician was named Xu Liangchen. He had said he wanted to leave the Imperial Medical Academy, but before he could make any progress, he suddenly disappeared.
The Imperial Medical Academy had not received any news of his resignation.
Some gossipy people had asked about it before, but Lu Dacheng scolded them, telling them to mind their own business and that they should use that time to study medicine.
Fan Zuan immediately recognized Xu Liangchen.
Wang Yangchun then remembered that he had once given him some pointers.
Xu Liangchen came to say goodbye to him, saying that his family had found him another way out, so he would be leaving the Imperial Hospital soon. To express his gratitude, Xu Liangchen also gave Wang Yangchun a delicate and small medicine scale.
It turns out that Xu Liangchen did indeed leave the Imperial Hospital, but before he could even step out of the palace walls, he was intercepted by Lu Dacheng.
It was a pity for that extremely talented and hardworking physician, because he had followed Lu Dacheng for many years and knew many of Lu Dacheng's secrets, so how could Lu Dacheng easily let him leave?
At this moment, a female doctor who looked to be only twelve years old stepped forward.
"Lord Li, please come with me to a place where Brother Liangchen has hidden some things."
"He instructed me that if anyone came to the Imperial Hospital to investigate Lu Dacheng's case in the future, I should hand those things over to the investigators."
“If no one comes to investigate and he doesn’t write to me for a long time, then let me take those things out of the palace and give them to you.”
“Brother Liangchen hasn’t sent me any messages for so long. He said he might die.”
"He clearly had a better place to go, he had already made plans, so why is God so unfair? He was such a hard-working person, yet he didn't have a good ending?"
As they were talking, the little girl led Li Ting to an abandoned garden.
In a corner of the garden, the little girl dug and dug, and unearthed a box.
The box was opened, and then another box was opened. There were three boxes in total before I finally saw a few prescription papers inside.
The little girl took out the prescription papers.
Li Ting took it and examined it carefully.
This is Emperor Cheng's medical record.
Li Ting quickly checked.
The more I look at it, the more alarmed I become.
It turns out that Emperor Cheng died prematurely because he took too much medicine prescribed by Lu Dacheng.
Lu Dacheng is really bold, using the late emperor to test medicine.
Li Ting handed the medical record to Fan Zu'an.
Fan Zuan wasn't surprised after reading it.
Ever since Li Xingran was able to talk and chatted with him for a whole day and night, he felt that anything was possible here.
However, Lu Dacheng's methods were indeed brilliant.
In the vast Imperial Medical Academy, no one noticed Lu Dacheng's wolfish ambitions.
This case was discovered by Xu Liangchen by chance.
At that time, he had already decided to leave the Imperial Medical Academy and go to Jishetang to seek refuge with Fan Zuan.
That day, Lu Dacheng asked Xu Liangchen to help him find a medical record. Because Lu Dacheng left in a hurry, he did not tell Xu Liangchen where the medical record was located.
Xu Liangchen then searched everywhere.
At the bottom of a very old piece of paper, I found this case file.
Xu Liangchen was terrified.
His conscience told him that he had to preserve this medical record.
Therefore, Xu Liangchen stole Emperor Cheng's medical records.
It's definitely not safe to keep it on my person.
They found a deserted garden and buried the medical record there.
Then he told the little girl where the box was buried and asked her to hand it over to her one day.
Li Ting ordered that Lu Dacheng's office in the Imperial Hospital be searched inside and out to see if anything else could be found.
In addition, all of Lu Dacheng's residences in the capital need to be thoroughly investigated.
This investigation actually uncovered quite a bit of evidence.
All of these points to Lu Dacheng using his medical skills to kill the late emperor and the subsequent emperor.
Lu Dacheng also had a habit of complaining about prescriptions.
Li Ting saw a medical record for Emperor Cheng that read:
"If Emperor Cheng dislikes Yun Wan, then I will remove this mountain from Yun Wan's body."
As expected, Lu Dacheng was behind Emperor Cheng's death.
Emperor Cheng was always in good health, but he suddenly fell ill.
Both were in good health, but died of excessive worry after Emperor Cheng's death.
From this perspective, everything was Lu Dacheng's conspiracy.
Lu Dacheng and Huangfu Chuying arrived in Nanchen Kingdom together and then went their separate ways.
One who enters the palace as a royal physician will have access to the Xiao family.
She won over a powerful minister, gave birth to a child, became empress, and became the de facto controller of military power.
The two worked together seamlessly.
Seeing these prescriptions and medical records, Li Ting could only admire the elaborate schemes of the Great Yue Kingdom.
With the combined strength of an entire nation and the infiltration of several generations, the Great Yue Kingdom would have almost succeeded if it weren't for Li Xingran's appearance.
After organizing all the evidence, Li Ting left the Imperial Hospital and went to Consort Chen's palace.
Looking at the information compiled by Li Ting, Consort Chen finally understood why Emperor Cheng had died so quickly; it turned out that Lu Dacheng was behind it all.
She didn't originally need to go to the palace for a "lucky marriage" ceremony, but because of Lu Dacheng's conspiracy, she was forced to become the bride for this purpose.
She hated him so much, hated this vicious little man.
Consort Chen instructed Li Ting to investigate further to see if these matters were related to Zhao Yunwan and Huangfu Chuying.
Li Ting told Consort Chen that Lu Dacheng was a member of the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom and that Huangfu Chucheng was a member of the royal family.
This made Consort Chen even more alarmed.
The people of the Great Yue Kingdom have already moved into the palace. Wouldn't they be able to harm or kill the Xiao family at will?
