Su Xiaoxiao pulled Princess Jingning away without looking back.
Xiao Duye was left alone in the wind.
Su Xiaoxiao did not give Xiao Duye any respect, but she was the attending physician of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jing Xuan. She really had the right to be arrogant.
Emperor Jing Xuan’s life was saved. Because Su Xiaoxiao had given him an antidote pill, it completely confirmed Hu Jiusheng’s “crime of poisoning.”
In a woodshed in the palace, Hu Jiusheng shouted that he had been wronged.
“I didn’t poison His Majesty… I was detoxifying His Majesty… It’s just… I might have made a mistake in the dosage…”
The main judges were Xiao Zhonghua and the minister of the Dali Temple. Princess Jingning was also there.
When Emperor Jingxuan got into trouble yesterday, Xiao Zhonghua and the minister of the Dali Temple were investigating the White Lotus Society’s case outside the capital. They only returned to the capital at dawn.
As soon as they heard that Emperor Jingxuan had been poisoned, the two of them traveled without stopping and entered the palace.
The minister of the Dali Temple was good at solving cases, but he was not proficient in medical science.
He thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we…”
“Invite the imperial physician over!” Princess Jingning interrupted him. What a joke. It was not dawn yet. He was not allowed to disturb her sleep!
The minister’s scalp went numb.
Uh… was it an illusion?
Why did he feel that Princess Jingning was a little angry?
“Changping,” Xiao Zhonghua said calmly.
Changping understood and went to the imperial hospital to call a few imperial physicians over. There was Imperial Physician Zhu, Imperial Physician Li, Imperial Physician Wan, and Imperial Physician Li.
The group carefully identified the poison found on Shopkeeper Wu’s body and checked the “antidote” brewed by Hu Jiusheng.
Imperial Physician Zhu said, “It’s indeed all poison, but… it’s hard to say if it’s fighting poison with poison. I’ve never seen this method.”
The other three imperial physicians expressed the same opinion.
Using poison to fight poison was indeed a treatment method, but not all poisons were suitable for this approach. There was the possibility he had failed to poison him once and added poison to him.
Hu Jiusheng understood that if he could not prove that this method was correct, he would only die.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and revealed his trump card. “…It’s Imperial Physician Fu’s prescription back then… It’s recorded in the medical skills he left behind!”
“Where’s the medical book?”
“At the Imperial Hospital.”
Xiao Zhonghua asked Changping to search and found it.
However, there was more than one book. There was a thick stack of medical books, medical cases, and personal notes. They were all personally written by Imperial Physician Fu.
Imperial Physician Zhu and the others were stunned. Imperial Physician Fu had died suddenly back then. When they packed his things for him, they did not discover this. They only thought that Imperial Physician Fu had brought them home and handed them to his son to take away.
Unexpectedly, it fell into Hu Jiusheng’s hands!
Imperial Physician Li opened a notebook. “Ten Thousand Golden Pills… Isn’t this the divine medicine that treated Matriarch Cheng’s stroke last time? He said that he developed it himself!”
Imperial Physician Wan also flipped to a prescription. “Old Prince Rong has drunk the Seven Bitter Tea. It has cured many years of headache and insomnia. Court Commissioner Hu also said that it’s his prescription…”
“And this.” Imperial Physician Li made a new discovery.
One after another, they found out the truth behind the cures Hu Jiusheng claimed to have developed or inherited from his family. It turned out that they were all Imperial Physician Fu’s hard work. Most of them were original prescriptions, and he had improved a small number himself.
Some were improved well, and some went south uncontrollably. For example, the poison that Emperor Jingxuan had been poisoned with this time was the latter.
This medicine was originally used to treat rheumatism. It was slightly poisonous and the effect varied from person to person. It was still in the testing stage and was very risky. Imperial Physician Fu had never used it on a patient.
Hu Jiusheng changed the prescription slightly and the antidote accordingly. It seemed to be the right illness, but the medicinal effect was not stable.
Half of it was Hu Jiusheng’s fault, and the other half was Emperor Jing Xuan’s bad luck.
The imperial physicians did not dare to say this.
The minister questioned, “Since you know that your antidote is risky, why did you give it to His Majesty? Are you testing the medicine on His Majesty?” Hu Jiusheng’s mind was in a mess. “I… I tried it with a chicken… The chicken lived…”
“Chicken? Do you think His Majesty is a chicken?”
“No… I… I didn’t mean that… I… I was eager to save him!” Hu Jiusheng couldn’t explain himself.
He looked at the imperial physicians, hoping that they would stand up for him.
However, the imperial physicians no longer wanted to speak up for him.
Having taken the fruits of others’ labor for himself, his position was built on Imperial Physician Fu’s hard work.
What depraved character and morals!
They had finally seen his true colors!
What bullsh*t medical talent. Imperial Physician Fu was really blind to take in such an ingrate as his disciple!
“Yes, I did take my master’s prescription for myself, but so what? At least it means that I didn’t poison His Majesty! I was detoxifying His Majesty! ”
Princess Jingning said coldly, “Don’t avoid the main point. You’re only talking about the antidote. What about the poison in the ointment?”
Hu Jiusheng gritted his teeth and said, “My brother poisoned the ointment. I admit that he’s guilty, but what has this got to do with me? You can scare Shopkeeper Wu, but don’t bully me for not knowing the laws of the Great
Zhou!”
The punishment of executing nine families had long been abolished by the previous Emperor. Unless they supported the army and established themselves, they would not implicate their families.
“Is that so?”
Accompanied by a young man’s voice, a person dressed as a servant was kicked in.
The servant was none other than Court Commisioner Hu’s medicine boy.
The person who kicked him was Su Mo.
Su MO was still holding a basin of covered ashes.
There was burned paper in the ashes, but it was not finished. A few remaining words could be vaguely seen.
..There’s a trick.. Destroying evidence…”
After the imperial physicians identified it, they confirmed that it was Imperial Physician Hu’s handwriting.
Hu Jiusheng felt terrible.
This was the note he asked the medicine boy to bring to Second Master Hu!
Was Second Brother Hul s brain filled with sh*t?
He couldn’t even burn a note clean!
Actually, it had long been burned clean. Wei Ting had forged this.
The content was forced out of the medicine boy.
Of course, the medicine boy was not sure about the subsequent actions.
The medicine boy confessed honestly, “Yesterday morning before Old Master left, he met Second Master. Second Master said that he got someone to poison Physician Su’s ointment. They wanted to teach her a lesson!”
In other words, he knew.
When he arrived at Yongshou Palace, the ointment had just been heated up and Emperor Jing Xuan had yet to eat it.
He had every chance of stopping it.
It was fine if others did not care. He was the brother of the perpetrator and an official of the Imperial Court. He was obligated to do his job!
To a certain extent, his actions already constituted murder!
The minister of the Dali Temple went to grab the gavel.
Uh, this was not the court. He had made a grab in vain.
He slapped his thigh!
“Hu Jiusheng! What else do you have to say!”
“There’s nothing else to say. I’ll say it for you!”
“Conspiracy to murder His Majesty should be executed according to the law! ”
“Guards! Detain the criminal, Hu Jiusheng, and bring him to the Dali Temple!
Behead him!”
