The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

After examining Su Fengyi's pulse, Court Judge Liao concluded that His Majesty was in good health and had no problems.

Normally, after taking the pulse, Court Judge Liao would bow and leave. However, today, Court Judge Liao was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked up at Su Fengyi again, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The safety of a king cannot be easily pried into by others, so when Liao Yuanpan took the king's pulse, Dangui would usually drive everyone out and serve him alone.

Su Fengyi glanced at Dangui, and Dangui bowed and left, closing the door.

When Judge Liao saw that His Majesty had dismissed the attendants, he took out two things from his bosom, an envelope and a medicine bottle and gave them to Su Fengyi.

Su Fengyi opened the envelope, and inside was a round ginkgo fruit. It should be the one he asked him to check last time.

She opened the bottle again, revealing reddish-brown pills.

Judge Liao said:

"This is Liushen Pills, a secret medicine from Liu'an Hall, which was created by the Wu family, a family of imperial physicians. It is very effective in treating headaches."

Su Fengyi does not have a headache, and Judge Liao just said that she is in good health, so Judge Liao’s move was definitely not to offer her medicine.

As expected, Judge Liao said:

"Your Majesty, each doctor has his own strengths. The Wu family and my Liao family have different views on certain medical methods, and there have been some disputes over generations. I shouldn't have rashly evaluated my peers, but because it involves Queen Xie and Lord Luo, I have to speculate and make a few false statements about this medicine. I didn't mean to slander you, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Su Fengyi has been asking Court Judge Liao to investigate the pulse case that Empress Xie sealed up back then. Last time, Lord Luo died under the beating of the imperial guards, and it was also Court Judge Liao who examined the body, and found signs that Lord Luo had been poisoned before his death.

According to Court Judge Liao, after so many years, these two events can actually be connected together. Moreover, the cause of Empress Xie's death is actually as strange as Qiao Gui said before his death.

Su Fengyi clenched the medicine bottle in her hand and said:

"There are no outsiders here. Judge Liao can speak freely. I will not blame you no matter what you say today."

Judge Liao sensed a chilling murderous intent in Su Fengyi's calm tone, and immediately knelt down and replied:

“Empress Xie and Lord Luo both suffered from headaches during their lifetime, and both were diagnosed and treated by Imperial Doctor Wu. They took Liushen Pills for a long time to relieve their headaches.

There is a sealed Liushen Pill in the palace that was used by Empress Xie. After checking, I found lead frost and cinnabar inside. Of course, some medical families are accustomed to using lead frost and cinnabar as medicine, and it is indeed effective for calming the nerves.

But from my humble opinion, if general medicine is three-tenths toxic, then lead frost and cinnabar are ten-tenths toxic, with the toxicity greater than the medicinal properties, so they should be used with extreme caution. However, the dosage used in Liu'an Hall's Liushen Pills is really too bold."

Although Judge Liao spoke implicitly, his meaning was very clear. Empress Xie and Lord Luo both died of lead and cinnabar poisoning.

But because the Liao family and the Wu family have had a feud for generations, Court Judge Liao was worried that Su Fengyi would think that he was intentionally framing the Wu family, so he spoke so hesitantly.

Su Fengyi poured out a pill, stared at the reddish-brown pill, and poured the ginkgo in the envelope into her hand, then asked:

"What about this ginkgo? Judge Liao brought it here specially, but did you find anything wrong with it after looking at it?"

Judge Liao then said:

“There is nothing wrong with the ginkgo nut itself, but raw ginkgo is poisonous. If you are not careful when cooking it, eating too much can easily cause headaches.

I had not thought about it in this regard at first, but when Your Majesty sent me this ginkgo fruit last time, I pondered over it carefully, thought about it more, and then reread Empress Xie's case.

Your Majesty, the medicated diet that Wu Taiyi had prescribed for Empress Xie often contained ginkgo nuts, and Empress Xie's headaches also started after she had used Wu Taiyi's medicated diet. This is really a coincidence. What's even more coincidental is that Lord Luo had also used Wu Taiyi's medicated diet. "

After Judge Liao finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Ginkgo is a commonly used ingredient in medicinal diets, and Liushen Pills are also a medicine that the Wu family sells openly. What he said today are all his guesses, and it is hard to say that there is clear evidence.

If Your Majesty summons Imperial Physician Wu for a face-to-face confrontation, and Imperial Physician Wu insists that there is nothing wrong with the medicine and turns around and accuses him of deliberately framing him for the sake of the feud between the two families, then it will be difficult for him to explain himself.

That's why Judge Liao hesitated for so long and had not made up his mind to tell Su Fengyi these things until Su Jiheng's manifesto was sent to the capital and Su Fengyi summoned him.

Judge Liao knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Your Majesty, and added:

"Your Majesty, when Empress Xie was pregnant, the imperial physician who treated her was also surnamed Wu. The Wu family's hometown is in Tianshui, which is very close to Pingliang."

At that time, the imperial physician Wu failed to diagnose the pulse of Empress Xie's twins, which led to the emperor's almost stillbirth. Taizu was furious and dragged the imperial physician out and beheaded him.

But the Wu family is a family of imperial physicians for generations, with many branches and leaves. Even if one Wu is useless, the other Wus are still useful, so another imperial physician Wu entered the palace to serve.

Judge Liao felt that his last few words, specifically mentioning the Wu family's hometown and so on, seemed more like a frame-up, so he knelt on the ground for a long time and did not dare to get up.

Until Su Fengyi's voice came:

"Whether the Wu family is loyal or treacherous, and whether the Liushen Pills are poisonous or not, you will know after trying them."

……

After Judge Liao went back, Su Fengyi summoned Lu Hong and asked him to surround the Wu Mansion and Liu'an Hall, and then directly ordered him to arrest all 18 members of the Wu family.

Because the case involved Empress Xie, Lu Hong did not hand Imperial Doctor Wu over to someone else, but interrogated him personally.

Lu Hong's interrogation process was very simple. The first step was to ask directly:

"explain."

Lu Hong didn't tell Doctor Wu what he wanted to say, so Doctor Wu struggled at first:

"What does Commander Lu want me to say? I didn't do anything. I am being wronged!"

Lu Hong started the second step, fighting.

After the beating, Doctor Wu began to waver:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting. I'll tell you what Commander Lu wants me to say, and I'll tell you what to say!"

Lu Hong started the third step, using medicine. In front of Doctor Wu, he gave Liushen Pills to his whole family.

Doctor Wu naturally knew the medicine produced by the Wu family. Seeing the imperial guards forcing his family to use the medicine, he shouted:

"Don't eat it, don't eat it!"

He had no choice at this time. Each of the 18 members of the Wu family was forced to drink a large bottle of Liushen Pills. Even Doctor Wu himself was forced to drink eight Liushen Pills by Lu Hong. Seeing that Commander Lu showed no signs of stopping, Doctor Wu finally broke down and shouted:

"I confess, I confess, I confess everything! Liushen Pills are poisonous, they can't be eaten! But I just want to make money, not kill anyone!"

This was the third time that Su Fengyi had come to the torture chamber set up by the imperial guards in the imperial palace. Every time he came, the people imprisoned here seemed to be insignificant little people.

The palace maids, eunuchs, imperial doctors, and thousands of other people in the palace are all such small figures.

But the more insignificant a person is, the more daring things he can do.

For example, for his own benefit, he boarded Su Jiheng's pirate ship and openly poisoned the queen and court ministers.
