C477 Princess thirteen (1/2)
”…” Feng Tang Yao's hand gripped tightly, and started to sweat. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and his face revealed a nervous expression, causing him to be unable to breathe.
”Don't panic.” Lian Zhaoyi whispered in her daughter's ear, but she also began to panic.
”No, no, Your Majesty. This humble servant understands that the young duke wants to save the Eleventh Princess, but I can't force myself to place the blame on this lowly one.” Imperial Physician Liang hastily kowtowed as he spoke.
Xiao He nodded towards Imperial Physician Rong, indicating that he should take out the list of dried snow toads and dried shellfish that Imperial Physician Liang had paid for for for Beauty Li's expenses. He placed it in front of Imperial Physician Liang and asked,
”Four days ago, you paid eight dollars for the dried snow clams and dried shellfish on Beauty Li's side, didn't you?”
Imperial Physician Liang looked down and hesitated for a moment before nodding. ”Yes, that's right, this is a prescription for the treatment of Beauty Li. The dried snow toads and dried shellfish cost eight dollars.”
”Eight coins?” You took away eight dollars, but what's written on Beauty Li's prescription is four dollars. There's still four coins, where did you use it? ” He took out the prescription that Imperial Physician Liang had written when he was drunk and threw it in front of her.
Imperial Physician Liang's heart skipped a beat as he quickly picked up the pharmacy. When he saw the words, the signature, and the seal, he was suddenly struck dumb!
Hadn't he already made up his hands and feet and lost them?
Why, why did it appear again?
Could it be … The hand holding the prescription trembled as he tried to recall what had happened. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him as he suddenly recalled the incident where Imperial Physician He and Imperial Physician Li had gotten drunk together at the Sage Gathering Tower.
He suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao He …
”You, you …”
”Your majesty, this humble servant has seen it. This medicinal formula is indeed Beauty Li's.”
Even Zhaoyi and Feng Lingyue were frightened out of their wits, especially Feng Lingyue. Her hands tightly gripped her handkerchief, twisting it around her fingertips until they were white, while her heart silently cursed Imperial Physician Liang for a thousand cuts! He swore that all the evidence had been destroyed, and that Feng Lingyue would not be able to turn the situation around. He said that he would not investigate them, but now —
Imperial Physician Liang's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. He suddenly said,
Your majesty, it was the young duke who framed this lowly position, it was the young duke who used this scheme to save the eleventh princess! Your majesty, this list was forced down by the young duke.
As he spoke, Imperial Physician Liang recounted the incident of Imperial Physician He and Imperial Physician Li inviting him for a drink, so much so that he ended up drunk at the Sage Gathering House.
”Heh …” Xiao He laughed coldly. ”Imperial Physician Liang, I think you're really drunk. You don't remember anything.”
”Your majesty, that beauty Li is a very meticulous person, she has a habit. Every time the imperial physician prescriptions for the medicine were written, she would get the palace maid to copy and keep them, and this humble servant would take a copy of the prescription from Li Mei.” Your majesty, that beauty Li is a very meticulous person, she has a habit, every time the imperial physician prescriptions for the medicine, she would make the palace maid copy and keep a copy of the prescription from Li Mei.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Rong, who was cooperating with the investigation, produced another piece of evidence.
”Your majesty, the Grand Hospital has sent out such a criminal. As the history of the hospital, this lowly subordinate must take responsibility for it. The only thing I can do is cooperate with the investigation and expel this criminal from the Grand Hospital.”
