Chapter 78 The Emperor’s Judgment

The next morning, Imperial Study Room.

This is the place where the emperor tried memorials and dealt with matters. The emperor would personally try cases related to people in the royal family.

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

In today's imperial study room, the emperor sat upright with a serious expression. Those who came to participate in the trial of the case include Lu Wei, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Yu Shiming, Yu, Wu Yuanzhang and Wu Taishi, the chief physician Bai, and several officials from the Ministry of Justice.

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

The emperor glanced at everyone and then spoke:

"Mr. Lu, you reported this matter to you, tell me!"

Lu Wei came to the hall from the crowd, bowed and bowed,

"Emperor, I received a few days ago this paper called Xu Tianhu. He said that after his mother went to Huichuntang to treat her illness, she took Princess Yu's medicine and died in less than a day. She was just infected with the cold.

But the man died suddenly, and he couldn't accept it for a moment, so he went to the minister's hall to beat the drum and make a fuss."

Luo Lan held both hands in front of her and listened quietly to Lu Wei's words. When she saw Xu Tianhu just now, she had already confirmed that this person was the man who shouted at his mother that day.

Her mustache on his face and his behavior towards his mother was impressed.

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

"Xu Tianhu, what is the basis for you to say that your mother died after taking Princess Yu's medicine?"

After hearing this, Xu Tianhu took out a cold capsule from his pocket, held it in front of him, and said loudly:

"Please look, this unknown vegetarian medicine will kill my mother."

Seeing this strange medicine, the emperor and 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 him and looked at it. The medicines there were red and green, which did not look normal.

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

"Princess Yu, please give me an explanation."

Luo Lan pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly. It was just an ordinary typhoid cold capsule. Not to mention that there were only two missing pieces on that plate of medicine. Even if you took ten or eight pieces, you would not die. If you could eat them, then

In those past lives, there were dead people everywhere.

She bowed slightly and raised her eyebrows and said, "If you go back to the emperor, this is just an ordinary typhoid medicine. This medicine will not kill anyone."

"You're talking nonsense."

Xu Tianhu suddenly became angry, "I won't take anyone to death? Then why did my mother die after taking this medicine? You are poison, otherwise why didn't other clinics sell it?"

Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, Lu Wei said angrily:

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

Xu Tianhu then lowered his head and stopped talking.

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

"Doctor Bai, have you seen this medicine?"

Bai Tiancheng frowned and glanced at him, then shook his head and clasped his fists and said:

"Forgive the old minister to be stupid. The old minister has been practicing medicine for many years and has never seen such a drug."

The other imperial doctors also shook their heads, saying that they had never seen this medicine.

The emperor looked at Luo Lan again and questioned in a stern voice.

"Princess Yu, where did you come from this medicine?"

Luo Lan corrected her expression and replied again:

"Your Majesty, the ingredients of this medicine are not toxic and will not cause death. This is extracted from cinnamon twigs, roasted licorice, jujube, ephedra, and these medicinal materials. I developed it myself."

Xu Tianhu looked at her relentlessly.

"Don't be sarcastic here. If this medicinal material is non-toxic, then my mother will die after taking it. What's going on?"

Physician Bai also echoed, "Your Majesty, this medicine has never appeared in our Daning Kingdom. I wonder how Princess Yu developed it, and how did she make the originally black medicine into this colorful color?"

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

.”

Luo Lan said speechless. This small cold capsule made them say that it seemed to make people enter a place of no return. She really felt amused and crying.

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 someone to death. Do you recognize this crime?"

"I don't admit it."

Luo Lan raised her eyebrows, without any timidity, "I opened a clinic privately because the Ministry of Revenue stopped the salary of my Yuwang Mansion. There are dozens of people in our Yuwang Mansion, so we can't drink the northwest wind, let's talk about it,

I can't take anyone to death with this medicine. There must be other reasons for this mother's death. I suggest that the coroner of Shuntian Prefecture check it out."

When she mentioned that the salary of Prince Yu's mansion was cut off, the emperor felt a little guilty. He had already asked about this when he knew about it. The reply was: After the Ministry of Revenue learned that Prince Yu had set up a private clinic, he went to the door to dissuade him but failed.

The salary from Prince Yu’s Mansion was so there was nothing wrong with it.

Besides, Leng Yu had committed the crime of killing his father. If he took care of him more, it would cause others to quarrel. If a crime like killing his father could still receive the care of the emperor, then what is his emperor's majesty?

So, he just let it go and did not blame Princess Yu for setting up a private clinic. It could be considered as giving Princess Yu’s mansion a code!

The emperor pondered for a while, then looked at Lu Wei again, and Lu Wei stepped forward and replied:

"Back to the emperor, the coroner had no way to check it. When he came to beat the drum, 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 and find out the cause of death?"

But Lu Wei glanced at her with his eyes and then said to the emperor:

"Emperor, I believe that the dead are the most important thing. Should I open the coffin? I should report it to the emperor first."

"no."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianhu roared loudly, "My mother died, even though she died, do you want her to die uneasy? Anyway, my mother died after taking Princess Yu's medicine. She is a royal family, we are ordinary people.

The people can't afford to offend them. Now that they have arrived in front of the emperor, I will ask the emperor to make the decision for the people."

Yan Luo, he knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, screaming with tears,

"Please make the decision for the people and my dead mother."

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

"Your Majesty, this matter must be groundless. Princess Yu's medicine is indeed suspicious. The old minister believes that this matter should be handed over to the Shenjian Department for trial."

Just listen to the name and know that it is a place where people in the royal family refuse to admit their mistakes and use punishment. The meaning of this Grand Master Wu is to make the emperor punish Luo Lan.

Hearing this, the Censor Yu Shiming took the lead and clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter cannot be concluded based on Xu Tianhu's words. It should be allowed to open a coffin and examine the autopsy to find out the cause of the deceased's death."

After hearing what he said, Master Wu was obviously dissatisfied. He frowned and stared at him, "Sir Yu, then let's talk about it, what's going on with Princess Yu's inexplicable medicine? How could she prove that the medicine is not poisonous?"

"No matter whether the medicine is poisonous or not, we cannot make a conclusion based on just one sentence. Please think twice."

“…”

After a while, the two of them started arguing about this matter.

"alright."
