Chapter 770: Concubine Liang took the initiative to admit (38 reward points plus more)
"When I laid out all the facts I had found out before Doctor Xu, he finally admitted it, perhaps because he knew that there was nothing he could do."
"But Doctor Xu always insisted that all this was because he was afraid that the emperor would punish him if he lost his heir, so he acted on his own initiative and it had nothing to do with Concubine Liang. From beginning to end, Concubine Liang was kept in the dark."
Speaking of this, Su Quanye felt a little ironic.
He has been the chief of the Ministry of Punishment for so many years and has investigated countless cases. How could he not see the truth?
How could a doctor named Xu have such courage and ability?
It goes without saying that these things were ordered by Concubine Liang!
It's just that Doctor Xu's family all lived in the Zhuang family's house, and it would be easy for the Zhuang family to kill them, so he didn't dare to give up Concubine Liang.
But does Doctor Xu really think that he can calm the storm by taking on all the responsibilities?
Your Majesty is not a fool.
If he, the chief of the Ministry of Punishment, can see it clearly, how could Your Majesty not see it?
As expected, the look in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes when he looked at Concubine Liang at this moment was completely different from the trust he had in the past.
There was a layer of hostility between his brows, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring Doctor Xu here!"
Su Quanye replied "yes" and did it immediately.
Concubine Hao finally no longer had to suppress her emotions.
Her cloudy eyes turned scarlet due to congestion, looking very scary!
Even though her vision was already blurry, Concubine Hao still stared at Concubine Liang's position and demanded with all her might, "It's you! You really are the one who harmed me!"
"My previous guess was right! I didn't think too much! Concubine Liang, you deceived me so much..."
Wu Changzai also had complicated feelings.
She originally thought that Concubine Liang had harmed Concubine Hao and the Fifth Prince, but she had to take the blame and lived in fear for so long.
The truth turned out to be... She caused Concubine Hao to have a miscarriage in the Imperial Garden, and the Fifth Prince could no longer be saved...
If Concubine Liang had not asked Doctor Xu to do these things, she would probably have been charged with the crime of murdering the royal heir and would have been punished more severely.
Maybe she has already been sent to the cold palace.
For a moment, Wu Changzai didn't know whether to blame Concubine Liang or be grateful to her...
The crowd was in uproar——
"Oh my God!"
Many people covered their mouths with shock on their faces: "This... Empress Liang Fei is actually this kind of person?!"
"Bad people are not to be feared. What is feared is bad people who pretend to be good people. It was because Concubine Hao believed in her that she harmed her like this..."
"Who in the palace will dare to trust Concubine Liang from now on? Who will dare to accept her help?"
"Doesn't Concubine Liang believe in Buddhism? Doesn't she have to worship Buddha even if no one is around? She did something so evil, but she doesn't feel guilty when she sees the Buddha?"
"It turns out that we were all deceived by her..."
"..."
At this point, even the concubines who had always believed in Concubine Liang and spoke for her, looked at her with eyes full of surprise and fear.
Although Doctor Xu took responsibility for everything, they were not fools, so how could they really believe it?
There were only one or two people left. Although they looked at Concubine Liang with complicated eyes, they still believed that there might be some misunderstanding.
After all, His Majesty has not yet made a final decision.
Maybe they won't cry until they see the coffin.
Don't blame them.
Concubine Liang was so kind to them and did so many good things. It was really hard for them to believe that Concubine Hao and the Fifth Prince were harmed by Concubine Liang...
Unless they can see the hard evidence!
No matter how people looked at her or how harsh the words they said, Concubine Liang just kept her head down and said nothing.
finally--
Doctor Xu was brought here by people from the Ministry of Punishment.
After being tortured in the dark for so long, he no longer looked like a decent person as before and has completely lost his human form.
There were countless wounds of varying sizes on his body, emitting a strong smell of blood mixed with a foul odor...
Someone covered his nose with a handkerchief in disgust.
Some people took a few steps back in fear.
Some people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that although Doctor Xu was not a good person, he was a real man to his family!
In order to protect his family, he did not give up Concubine Liang even after being beaten like this.
If it were them... I'm afraid as soon as the torture instruments of the Ministry of Punishment were taken out, even if Eunuch Su said that they were the ones who destroyed the previous dynasty, they would nod and admit it immediately...
Only Concubine Chun stared motionlessly at Doctor Xu, whose body was covered in blood, her heart couldn't help but become excited!
Seeing the wounds on Doctor Xu's body, she inappropriately remembered... that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had once beaten her in the same way.
She is the only one in the world who can receive such unique treatment in Prince Jin's Mansion!
It's a pity... since he decided to send her to the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has found the best scar removal medicine in the world for her. Even if he hits her, there will be no wounds on her body.
Whenever I think of the past days, I miss them very much...
The emperor looked at Doctor Xu, his expression intimidating without anger: "Tell me! Who instructed you to do those things?!"
Doctor Xu was seriously injured and his voice was very weak, but he still shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty, no one has instructed me to do this..."
"I am only afraid that Concubine Hao's heir will be in danger, and I will be blamed for it, so I resorted to this desperate measure. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
Shen Zhinian looked at him and said, "What nonsense!"
"Although you are the imperial physician responsible for helping Concubine Hao to keep her baby safe, she was miscarried because of Concubine Wu. Even if the heir is not safe, Concubine Wu is the one who should be held responsible."
"Why would you risk losing your head and sacrifice Concubine Hao to protect the Fifth Prince?"
"Even if the facts are as you said, whether to save the elder or the younger should be decided by His Majesty. How can you, a royal doctor, have the guts to make your own decision?"
"Doctor Xu, don't you think your words are too far-fetched?!"
After he finished speaking, Shen Zhinian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although everyone knew that this was definitely instigated by Concubine Liang, if Doctor Xu didn't admit it, it would be impossible to convict Concubine Liang of the crime!
Since Doctor Xu cares most about his family, perhaps... we can start with his family!
Doctor Xu was speechless after being questioned by Shen Zhinian with every word making sense.
His eyes flickered a few times, as if he wanted to explain something.
At this moment, Concubine Liang raised her head and said slowly, "Your Highness, Concubine Chen, there is no need to embarrass Doctor Xu anymore. I ordered him to do all these things."
"Doctor Xu took all the blame just because he didn't want to implicate me."
Ruoli suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Liang in surprise: "Your Majesty?!"
Doctor Xu would not dare to betray the Empress. If that is the case, why would the Empress admit it voluntarily?
Isn't this... isn't this courting death...
