The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Little Bai, why did you come to the palace to find me!"

When Zhao Lingrui saw Xie Lingbai, he was really pleasantly surprised. He frightened the little eunuch who was leading the way, and couldn't help but wonder what the identity of the person beside him was. He was so familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince. I shouldn't have offended him just now. Bar?

"I need your help with something."

"Help? Do we still need to be so polite between you and me!" After Zhao Lingrui finished speaking, he waved to those around him and said, "Go down first."

"Yes……"

When there were only three of them left in the hall, he asked, "What happened? But what's wrong with the selection?"

"It's not about the selection meeting, but a friend of mine has been imprisoned in the sky prison. I want to go and see him, but Wen Changheng said that because this incident involves the Grand Master's Mansion, he will definitely not allow anyone to go in and visit the prison easily."

Zhao Lingrui was at a loss when he heard it, but at any rate he grasped one important point, that is, Xie Lingbai wanted to go to the sky prison to visit his friends. He said: "Let's go to the sky prison now. As for the specific situation, we will talk about it as we go." .”

"it is good……"

Seeing that he was willing to help, Xie Lingbai finally relaxed a little bit, but now he doesn't know what's going on with Gu Fan. According to Wen Changheng, Grand Master Luo should have a lot of influence, and he doesn't know how it will end at that time. .

The journey from the palace to the prison was in a carriage. In the carriage, Xie Lingbai told Zhao Lingrui roughly what he knew. After hearing this, Zhao Lingrui's expression was not very good.

"That is to say, you don't know whether your friend has molested others?"

Xie Lingbai shook his head: "He disappeared for an entire afternoon and one night yesterday, and such news came this morning, but I don't think he would do such a thing with Gu Fan's personality. There is some misunderstanding."

"Luo Ziyun, she is so delicate and arrogant. She is the only daughter of Grand Master Luo, so she has been spoiled since she was a child. She is a very troublesome character."

If possible, Zhao Lingrui really doesn't want to deal with her, because Luo Ziyun is behind Concubine Luo, and Concubine Luo has eight princes under her knees, and it will easily become a battle for the throne.

Zhao Lingrui looked at Xie Lingbai, thinking in his heart that he didn't know how much Xie Lingbai knew.

When they arrived at the prison, Wen Changheng and Yun Molian had already been waiting there, Xie Lingbai jumped out of the carriage and ran to Wen Changheng and asked, "Master, what does the governor say?"

"He said that the Grand Master's Office exerted pressure, but there was nothing he could do."

"Let me come."

As Zhao Lingrui said, he stepped forward, and the jailers saluted after seeing him, and he said directly: "The prince wants to go in."

"Who does Your Highness want to see?"

"What? The prince wants to see who else needs to report to you?"

"My subordinates dare not."

They didn't dare to offend, so they had to get out of the way, and a group of them walked into the sky prison. Zhao Lingrui pointed to a jailer to lead the way to detain the prisoner related to the Grand Master's Mansion this time.

"Gu Fan..."

Xie Lingbai yelled, Gu Fan looked up, and was stunned when he saw a few of them. He was going to get up but he obviously paused and didn't get up.

Yun Mo suppressed his anger and said, "They tortured you?!"

Xie Lingbai also found that Gu Fan's clothes were stained with blood, and there were a few whip marks on the back of his hands. Zhao Lingrui asked the jailer to unlock the lock, and they walked in directly.

"Gu Fan, what happened? How did you get caught in such a good manner?"

"I don't know either. It's just that an officer suddenly appeared and arrested me. After I came in, I realized that the reason they arrested me was that I molested Miss Luo's personal maid in the Grand Master's Mansion."

"Could it be that you really..." Yun Molian hesitated to speak, Gu Fan glanced at him and said, "Really what? Did you really insult someone?"

"I didn't mean that, but your state yesterday...even if something happened, it's not your fault..."

Gu Fan didn't speak, just looked at him like that, Yun Molian was a little scared, Xie Lingbai saw that they seemed to be so deadlocked, so he asked: "Gu Fan, what you need to answer most now is, Does it have anything to do with you?"

"No."

Xie Lingbai and the others breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of Gu Fan's character, since he said no, then there must be no, even if yesterday's condition was really bad.

"Where did you go yesterday? We almost turned over the entire imperial city but still couldn't find you. Also, the medicinal properties of your body..."

"Soak in cold water for an afternoon, and you'll be fine."

"Soaked all afternoon, what about that night? Why don't you come back?"

Gu Fan didn't know how to answer, could it be that because of Yun Molian's relationship, he didn't really want to go back?

"Strange, since your medicinal properties are lost by soaking in cold water, why did Luo Ziyun come to sue you for molesting her maid? It's as if he knew you were poisoned yesterday. It's such a coincidence!"

Wen Changheng said, "She does know."

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't you say that you once quarreled with Luo Ziyun in the teahouse?"

Xie Lingbai turned his head and looked at Yun Molian when he heard the words, Yun Molian suddenly realized: "I understand, because the people on their side knocked over the screen and spilled wine on the corner of my clothes that day, so I Argued with them for a few words, but Xiao Lian came forward to settle things, that Luo Ziyun must be holding a grudge and not convinced."

"So the person who shot the hidden weapon at you yesterday should have been arranged by her. He originally wanted to frame you, but they didn't expect Gu Fan to block it for you, so they decided to frame Gu Fan."

"I knew that woman was not a good thing that day. I didn't expect her thoughts to be so vicious. She simply relied on the power of the family to run amok."

"Zhao..." Xie Lingbai hesitated as soon as he opened his mouth. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "His Royal Highness, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhao Lingrui frowned, and said displeasedly: "What are you calling Prince, you can just call me by my name."

"This is not good, after all, this is the imperial city, and if someone hears it, I'm afraid I'll lose my head—"

Xie Lingbai looked half joking, Zhao Lingrui said: "What are you afraid of, aren't you with Wen Xun? Wen Xun calls my name all the time, he is not afraid of death!"

Xie Lingbai turned to look at Wen Changheng, Wen Changheng's face was pale, as if he had nothing to say about this matter, Xie Lingbai remembered that when he met Prince Chan that night, Prince Chan also said that Wen Changheng had never saluted him.

And it was said that the emperor allowed it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's think of a way to rescue Gu Fan first. It's only been one morning, and he has been beaten like this. If you stay any longer, who knows if you will survive? .”

Zhao Lingrui also looked distressed: "If I let him out directly, then Luo Ziyun will definitely bite him hard."

"Isn't Luo Ziyun afraid of you?"

"She knows very well that Zhao Lingrui can't do anything to her."

This sentence was said by Wen Changheng, and Xie Lingbai was a little puzzled: "Master, Ling Rui is the crown prince. Could it be that the status of a crown prince is not as high as that of the grand master's daughter?"

"But behind this daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion is not only the Grand Master, but also Concubine Luo, who has the Eighth Prince under her knees. Leaving aside the other young princes, the Eighth Prince is seventeen this year and is absolutely capable of competing for the crown prince." position."

"The eighth prince also covets the crown prince?"

Zhao Lingrui shook his head: "I don't think the Eighth Emperor Brother has such an idea, but the problem is, if this matter is found out by interested people, it will definitely make a big fuss, and then there will be another bloody battle for the throne in the court Wind, it’s troublesome anyway.”

"So there's no way?"

"It's not impossible. I can order the governor to investigate the matter thoroughly, but we must find practical and useful evidence to prove his innocence."

Xie Lingbai looked at Gu Fan and said, "Gu Fan, do you have evidence to prove yourself?"

Gu Fan shook his head, Yun Molian was a little anxious, and asked: "Think about it again, this is related to your life, for example, when you soaked in cold water yesterday, did anyone see you?" ? And you didn’t return all night last night, is there any witness around you?”

Gu Fan lowered his eyes, thought for a while and finally replied: "No..."

"Have you been alone from noon yesterday to this morning?"

"Ah."

"That's really bad. There is no witness. Gu Fan, where did you soak in the water yesterday? Let's go and ask around there, maybe someone saw you."

Gu Fan pursed his lips and said, "I don't remember either."

"how is this possible!"

From just now, they felt that Gu Fan's expression was a little weird, because he is a simple and honest person who doesn't know how to lie, and now it seems that there is really a problem.

Xie Lingbai squatted in front of Gu Fan and said seriously: "Gu Fan, look into my eyes and answer me seriously, is there really no one who can prove your innocence from yesterday to this morning?"

Gu Fan looked at Xie Lingbai, moved his lips, but finally chose to remain silent. Now they knew it in their hearts. Gu Fan must know that someone could prove it, but he refused to say it.

They really don't understand, why don't they say it?This is a matter of life and death!

Yun Molian said to him angrily: "Gu Fan, are you stupid? Do you know that if you don't say anything, you will die, this is not Xixia City, we can't help you like this. "

"I promised him I wouldn't say it."

"Then what about yourself? Don't you want your life? Just let that person come over to testify, isn't that okay?"

Gu Fan shook his head, Zhao Lingrui asked doubtfully, "Who is that person? You guys know each other very well?"

"I do not know him."

"I don't know you and you're still like this."

"You can't go back on what you promised."

Zhao Lingrui admired: "People like you who keep their promises are rare now, especially if you endanger your own life, but are you really not afraid of death at all?"

Gu Fan smiled with some relief, and said in a deep voice: "I have no relatives or reasons, and I have nothing to worry about. It doesn't really matter whether I live or die, but I still thank you for your willingness to help me. That's enough, that's it. .”

Yun Molian looked at Gu Fan who was leaning against the corner, and always felt that after seeing him this time, his eyes seemed to lose a lot of anger. Could it be because of what he said yesterday?
