Allure Female Pharmacist: Qing Mo Yanluo

Chapter 17 Sudden Death of a Court Lady
"Master Yu, you can't go in, you can't go in..." No matter how the eunuchs outside the door tried to stop him, Yu Zixiu's determination to face the saint could not be stopped.

"Let him in." Bai Shuining covered Zhang Yunluo with a quilt, walked to the main seat in the outer hall and sat down.This Yu Zixiu has been going to the palace to look for him for the past few days, presumably because of the manager of the pharmacy he has taken away.

He thought that he would give up after not seeing him for a few days, but he didn't expect that he would even rush in to see him at this time.Facing Yu Zixiu like this, he couldn't find any reason to keep avoiding him.

As soon as Yu Zixiu stepped into the outer hall of Luochen Pavilion, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects, "My lord, Yu Zixiu, the envoy of the imperial hospital, is here to see the emperor, and may my emperor live forever."

"Pingshen." Bai Shuining said lightly after taking a sip of the cloud tea from Fuyun Mountain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yu Zixiu, why have you been looking for me over and over again?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinate, Xiao Yuxin, the manager of Baiyao Bureau, is innocent. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly."

Bai Shuining frowned slightly, staring at Yu Zixiu, "Yu Zixiu, you should understand that since I was able to order the beheading of traitors and implicate their relatives of the nine clans, do you think that I will leave behind a suspected traitor? "

"Your Majesty... Although Xiao Yuxin is only a manager of a pharmacy, he has excellent medical skills. He even healed the poisonous wound of Concubine Yun by himself. But he doesn't try to gain fame, but only wants to live an ordinary life. How could the person who begged be a remnant of a traitor, I implore the emperor to see clearly, and don't lose a pillar of the country, a peerless genius." A generous statement of persuasion, Yu Zixiu had already put life and death aside.

"Bold Yu Zixiu, are you trying to teach me a lesson?" Bai Shuining suddenly became furious, "Could it be that you dare to despise my emperor's majesty because you are an important minister of the former emperor? You know, just relying on what you just said If you say so, I can make your head fall to the ground."

"If you can leave a pillar of talent for the country, my minister, death is not a pity."

"You..." Bai Shuining pointed at Yu Zixiu who was so stubborn. Unexpectedly, he would even risk his life for a manager.In anger, he shook his sleeves fiercely, and turned his back.

"Forget it, I will save him from death. Although death is inevitable, life is inevitable. Let him stay in prison for the rest of his life." This was his biggest concession. If Yu Zixiu was aggressive, he wouldn't mind beheading him. That useless steward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! My lord, I will leave now!" As long as he can save his life, he will be able to return his innocence in the future.He is well aware of the emperor's deep hatred for traitors, and it is rare to be able to make such a concession.Therefore, he also accepted as soon as he saw it, and left quickly.

I am afraid that Yuxin will spend his whole life in prison, no matter what, he has to take care of everything for him so that he can live comfortably in there.

It was the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the sixth year of Zhutian, and it had been more than three months since Yu Xin was arrested.

At this time, it was scorching summer, because the imperial city was located under Xuanxue Peak, so it would not feel hot.Many residents like to move a deck chair to sit in the shade after work, eat ice cubes collected from the snow peaks, mash them into desserts, and taste them comfortably.

Just when everyone was enjoying a pleasant summer, in a courtyard in the imperial palace, a court lady was lying on the ground uncomfortably, her face was flushed, she was covering her chest with one hand, her breathing was rapid, and her mouth began to unconsciously utter Painful groans.

A moment later, the court lady lay motionless on the ground, while a pool of bright red phlegm was clearly visible on the ground beside her.

"Xiao Cui, are you lazy in the courtyard again? Don't let me catch you, or... ah..." Tao Lixiang, the manager of the Clothes Bureau who had just stepped into the courtyard, saw Xiao Cui's terrifying death at a glance, and quickly Exclaimed.

The guards who were patrolling not far away hurried over, but found that a palace lady was dead, so they hurriedly dispersed the crowd and sent someone to carry the body of the dead palace lady to the firewood room.

He planned to wait until after dark before sending the dead out of the palace, so as not to frighten the holy driver and those harem masters.

In the pitch-black woodshed, Xiao Cui's cold corpse lay. Several mice slipped out, climbed onto Xiao Cui's body, got into her clothes, and began to bite Xiao Cui's body.

In the middle of the night, the two guards came outside the woodshed, and the guards' complaints could be clearly heard in the quiet courtyard.

"It's really unlucky. I came here to carry the corpse in the middle of the night. This maid died in the palace. Isn't this causing trouble for us?" Li Jiu, the guard, complained inevitably.

"Forget it, the captain asked us to deal with that corpse, let's hurry up, don't delay." Chen Ba, who was traveling with him, kept comforting the impatient one beside him.

The two pushed open the door of the firewood room, but saw a dozen mice rushing out of the door, which shocked them.

"These damn rats will eat anything, even the dead." Li Jiu pinched his nose and walked up to the dead palace lady, looking at her body that had already changed beyond recognition, he couldn't help complaining.

"Don't talk too much nonsense, let's hurry up and get to work." Chen Ba covered his hands with some hasty sackcloth, walked to the side of the corpse, and helped Xiaocui's corpse.

"Chen Ba, this court lady has become such a virtuous person. Let's just find a place to bury her. No one will know anyway. Why bother to send her out of the palace?"

"We will do what the captain told us to do. What's more, if something important is found out, you and I may lose our lives. I think it's better to do things obediently and don't complain."

"Oh, we are miserable. If only someone could help."
