Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

The next morning, the Royal Study Room.

This is the place where the emperor hears the memorials and handles matters. The emperor will personally try the cases related to the royal family here.

Of course, there are not many such cases, and there are only a handful of cases reported by Shuntian Mansion to sue the royal servants.

In today's imperial study room, the emperor was sitting upright with a serious face. Those who came to participate in the trial of the case were Yin Luwei of Shuntian Mansion, Yu Shiming, the censor, Wu Yuanzhang, Wu Taishi, several officials in charge of Bai Taiji and the Ministry of Punishment.

Everyone stood on two sides, Luo Lan and the plaintiff named Xu Tianhu stood in the main hall, facing the emperor, waiting quietly for the emperor to speak.

The emperor glanced at everyone, and then said:

"Lord Lu, you reported this matter, please tell me!"

Lu Wei came to the front of the hall from the crowd, clasped his fists and bowed in salute,

"Your Majesty, I received a pleading paper from Xu Tianhu a few days ago. He said that after his mother went to Huichun Hall for treatment, she took the medicine given by Princess Yu and died within a day. It was just because of a cold. The man died suddenly, and he couldn't accept it for a while, so he went to the minister's hall to beat the drums to express his grievances."

Luo Lan clasped her hands in front of her body and listened quietly to Lu Wei's words. When she saw Xu Tianhu just now, she was sure that this person was the man who yelled at his mother that day.

She was impressed by the beard on his face and his behavior towards his mother.

After Lu Wei finished speaking, the emperor looked at Xu Tianhu again,

"Xu Tianhu, what basis do you have for saying that your mother died after taking the medicine from Princess Yu?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianhu took out a plate of cold and cold capsules from his pocket, held it up to his eyes, and said loudly:

"Please look, your majesty, it is this unknown vegetarian medicine that will eat my mother to death."

Seeing this strange medicine, the emperor and all the adults widened their eyes. Eunuch Liu took the medicine from Xu Tianhu's hand and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took it in front of his eyes and looked at it. The pills inside were red and green, and it really looked abnormal.

He frowned and looked at Luo Lan, and said coldly:

"Princess Yu, please give me an explanation."

Luo Lan twitched the corner of her mouth helplessly. It was just an ordinary typhoid cold capsule. Not to mention that there were only two capsules missing on the board of medicine. In the previous life, there must be dead people everywhere.

She bowed slightly and saluted, raised her eyebrows and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this is just an ordinary cold medicine, this medicine will not kill people."

"You are talking nonsense."

Xu Tianhu suddenly became angry, "Can't eat dead people? Then why did my mother die after taking this medicine? You are poison, otherwise why didn't other medical centers sell it?"

Lu Wei saw that the emperor's face was not good-looking, so he sternly said:

"Xu Tianhu, this is in front of the emperor, you must not be rude."

Xu Tianhu then lowered his head and said nothing more.

The emperor paused for a moment, and then said to Bai Tian:

"Doctor Bai, have you seen this medicine before?"

During the day, Cheng frowned and took a look, then shook his head and cupped his fists and said:

"Forgive me for being stupid, I have practiced medicine for many years, and I have never seen such a medicine."

The rest of the imperial doctors also shook their heads, expressing that they had never seen this kind of medicine.

The emperor looked at Luo Lan again, and asked in a stern voice,

"Princess Yu, where did you get this medicine?"

Luo Lan straightened her expression, and replied again:

"Your Majesty, the ingredients in this medicine are neither toxic nor fatal. It is extracted from cinnamon twigs, roasted licorice, jujube, and ephedra. I developed it myself."

Xu Tianhu looked at her relentlessly,

"Don't be alarmist here. If this medicine is not poisonous, then my mother will die after eating it. What's going on?"

Doctor Bai also echoed, "Your Majesty, this kind of medicine has never appeared in our Daning Kingdom. I don't know how Princess Yu developed it, and how did she make the originally black medicine into such a colorful color?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other imperial physicians also echoed, "Yes, this is obviously a poisonous medicine. I have never seen such a brightly colored medicine, and it is wrapped in a hard shell, which looks very scary. .”

Luo Lan was speechless. This little cold capsule made them say that it seemed to be a poison that could make people go to a place of eternal doom. She really had a feeling of whether to laugh or cry.

The emperor looked at Luo Lan, and his face suddenly became serious, "Princess Yu, you not only set up a private clinic in Prince Yu's mansion, but also ate people to death, can you admit this crime?"

"I don't recognize it."

Luo Lan raised her eyebrows, without a trace of timidity, "I opened the clinic privately because the Ministry of Households stopped my salary from the Yuwangfu. There are dozens of people in Yuwangfu, so we can't drink the northwest wind. Besides, I have already said, My medicine can't kill people, there must be other reasons for this mother's death, I suggest to let the assistant of Shuntian Mansion check it out."

She mentioned that the salary of Prince Yu's mansion was cut off, and the emperor felt a little guilty. He had already asked about it when he knew about it. He received the salary from Prince Yu's Mansion, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Besides, Leng Yu had already committed the crime of killing his father, if he took more care of him, it would arouse the tongues of others. If such a crime as killing his father can still get the emperor's attention, then what is the majesty of his emperor?

Therefore, he just let it go, and he didn't blame Princess Yu for setting up a private medical center, so it can be regarded as letting Prince Yu's mansion a yard!

The emperor pondered for a while, then looked at Lu Wei, who took a step forward and replied:

"Back to the emperor, there is no way for Wu Zuo to check. When he came to beat the drums, he had already buried his mother."

Buried?

Luo Lan suddenly frowned and looked at him,

"Since it's buried, why didn't Lord Lu open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the cause of death?"

But Lu Wei gave her a sideways glance, and then said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the dead are the most important. If you want to open the coffin, you have to report to the Emperor first."

"No."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianhu yelled loudly, "My mother is dead, do you want her to die uneasy? Anyway, my mother died after taking the medicine of Princess Yu. She is a member of the royal family. We are ordinary people. The common people can't afford to offend them, now that we are in front of the emperor, we should ask the emperor to make decisions for the common people."

When the words fell, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed non-stop, shouting with snot and tears,

"Please, Your Majesty, be the master for the common people, and for my dead mother."

Seeing Xu Tianhu crying pitifully, Wu Yuanzhang stepped forward and cupped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, this incident must not be groundless. Princess Yu's medicine is indeed suspicious. The old minister believes that this matter should be handed over to the Punishment Department for trial."

The Department of Punishment, as you can tell from the name, is the place where people in the royal family are punished for refusing to confess after making mistakes. This Grand Master Wu means that he wants the emperor to punish Luo Lan.

Hearing this, the censor Yu Shiming stepped forward to the Master and clasped his fists, saying:

"Your Majesty, I think that this matter cannot be concluded based on Xu Tianhu's words alone. The Shunkai Mansion should be asked to open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the cause of death of the deceased."

Hearing what he said, Grand Master Wu was obviously dissatisfied. He frowned and stared at him, "Master Yu, then tell me, what is the matter with Princess Yu's inexplicable medicine? How can she prove that the medicine is non-toxic?"

"Whether there is poison in this medicine or not, we can't make a conclusion based on just one sentence. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"..."

Back and forth, the two actually quarreled over this matter.

"All right."

The emperor waved his hand suddenly, "Stop arguing, Princess Yu, since you said that your medicine is non-toxic, how can you prove it?"
