Chapter 49 Dilemma
Only the chest and cuffs of this jacket have patches of blood, and the other parts are densely covered with words written in blood.

Although Shi Mengsheng didn't know medical skills, he also saw that it was written on it was the experience of diagnosing diseases and administering medicines. Combined with what Xu Zhi said just now about An Chen's photographic memory, he instantly understood what the bloody coat was.

Ning Yuezhao frowned and said, "What is Xu Qing trying to sell?"

Xu Zhi turned to her, bowed and said, "I implore Your Majesty to allow me to present this object to the imperial court."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, "Submit it."

Immediately, the eunuch took the bloody coat and handed it to Ning Yuezhao.

After she read the words on it clearly, she took the bloody coat from the eunuch's hand without calmness, and read the words on it carefully.

Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao sat close to each other. Although the bloody clothes did not reach his hands, he could see some of the content clearly with his eyesight.

Ning Yuezhao put the bloody clothes back on the tray, her tense body wanted to find someone to rely on, but now she was confused and didn't know how to make a choice.

Why every time when she has made up her mind to stay away from An Chen, God pushes him towards her again?

Thinking of this, she hated the person who brought up this topic.

Dai Yibin is Jiang Qixi's protégé, Jiang Qixi wants to beat himself with this, don't neglect Jiang Nian?

This conjecture made Ning Yuezhao extremely uncomfortable.

After a battle between heaven and man, she said: "Xu Qing, where did this come from?"

Xu Zhi was very complacent at the moment, but he had to remain modest on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, I heard the sad news of An Yuyi's tragic death in prison a few days ago, and felt strange in my heart. So, I ordered someone to pay attention to it." Ministry of Punishments. This bloody coat was cut shortly after the news of Yuyi An's death came out, and the staff of Weichen found a sneaky official who took a package and wanted to burn it, so they managed to intercept it.

Although Imperial Physician An made a mistake in a moment of confusion, it can be known from the fact that he silently wrote the handwriting of the former imperial physician with blood in prison that he sincerely repented and made atonement in obscurity.

If it wasn't for someone interfering with it, there wouldn't be just such a little note left..."

At the end, Xu Zhi sighed regretfully.

Shi Mengsheng knelt down with a plop, bowed his head solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, the bloody clothing story is purely nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can summon the post-mortem examiner for Imperial Physician An to inquire."

At this moment, cold sweat poured out from Shi Mengsheng's back.He was very sure that An Chen had never written anything silently with blood in prison, how could this thing appear now?
The other officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who participated in this incident were also a little trembling, and they thought to themselves: "It can't be the ghost of An Chen's ghost, right?"

Xu Zhi didn't know what they were thinking, so he just continued, "Your Majesty, you are most familiar with the handwriting of Imperial Doctor An."

Ning Yuezhao rubbed the center of her brows, how could she answer this.

The handwriting on the bloody coat was of course An Chen's, and An Chen has been in a coma for the past few days, obviously it is impossible to forge it now, it should be written by him in prison.

Thinking of An Chen being imprisoned, enduring the torture of the cell boss and bully, and writing a book in blood.

All ten of his fingers were bruised, shoe prints were on the back of his hand, and the center of his palm was scratched.Could it be that An Chen was discovered by those villains when he was writing his notes silently, and they deliberately stepped on his hand to stop him?
Thinking of this, Ning Yuezhao felt another burst of heartache.

Seeing her hesitation, Xu Zhi urged, "Your Majesty?"

Ning Yuezhao could only say: "That's right, it's indeed An Chen's handwriting."

Shi Mengsheng's heart sank, and he knew that this time there was a high probability that he would fall.The queen's secret decree must never be revealed, otherwise it would not be as simple as losing her official position.

Xu Zhi said sadly: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Shi Meng Sheng, concealed and refused to report, and committed murder, which caused Royal Physician An to miss the chance of being pardoned; and those precious classics also lost the chance to restore them, which is really unfortunate for the common people! If Shi Mengsheng is not severely punished, it will be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth!"

As soon as he said this, other officials of the Xu Party also echoed.

For a while, Ning Yuezhao was a little hard to make a decision.

At this time, Shi Mengsheng seemed to have made up his mind, and he straightened his back and said: "Your Majesty, this minister's lack of strict control led to An Yuyi's death in vain. No complaints, I just hope that it will not affect other people, they are all coerced by the humble officials."

Shi Mengsheng has already seen that Xu Zhi is deliberately using An Chen's affairs as a raft, just to target the Jiang family. He and Jiang Qixi are gentlemen's friends, and he would rather resist all the crimes alone.

Xu Zhi sneered and said: "Shi Shangshu is so loyal, do you want to bear it alone? But you and An Yuyi don't know each other, and you don't have any grudges. Why do you want to hurt him like this?"

Shi Mengsheng said awe-inspiringly: "Because he is a blue-faced disaster, he will confuse your majesty and disrupt ethics!"

"Shut up!" Ning Yuezhao was angered by Shi Mengsheng's words, Xu Zhi handed him a great opportunity to punish him, and she didn't intend to give up.

Xu Zhi's smile became colder by three points, and he said: "Shi Shangshu is really righteous, and Imperial Physician An confuses Your Majesty, it seems that you are not the one who should be most dissatisfied?"

Xu Zhi's original target was the Jiang family, and now he finally found a chance to direct the fire in this direction.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! I wait for the king's salary, and I will take care of the king's worries." Shi Mengsheng looked at Xu Zhi coldly, "Does Master Xu think there is something wrong?"

"You're right, it's just that what you did is not as glorious as what you said!" Xu Zhi retorted unceremoniously, "Yuyi An and His Majesty are just friends, but you have slandered them as that Such a careless relationship, how can there be a monarch in your eyes?"

Shi Mengsheng was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't expect that his words would be misinterpreted like this.

"Enough!" Ning Yuezhao suppressed her anger and said coldly, "The dead are gone, the good and the bad are all piles of loess. As for my merits and demerits, future generations are free to comment."

After all, An Chen didn't die, Ning Yuezhao didn't want to involve more people.

After all, Jiang Nian is her imperial husband, and the Jiang family behind him cannot be overthrown by such a thing.

Xu Zhi didn't expect Ning Yuezhao to stop there, so he could only restrain himself, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Ning Yuezhao looked at Shi Mengsheng who was kneeling, "Because of your past achievements, I will only remove your position as Minister, are you convinced?"

Her punishment was actually considered light, because she knew that Shi Mengsheng had suffered it on behalf of others, not the mastermind.What's more, he would rather bear all the responsibility for the crime by himself than to hurt others, just for his loyalty, Ning Yuezhao couldn't bear to punish him severely.

Shi Mengsheng didn't think that it would be such a punishment, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, thank you Lord Long En!"

Xu Zhi was very dissatisfied with Ning Yuezhao's heavy handling, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a human life, how can you be punished so lightly?"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at him, "What do Xu Qing think?"

"I have nothing to say." Xu Zhi and the Empress looked into each other's eyes, and he read the meaning in her eyes, so he decided not to entangle this issue any more, and next time he would look for opportunities to find old man Jiang's bad luck.

Ning Yuezhao said again: "Shi Mengsheng was dismissed. The four murderers and the prison staff will be dealt with according to the law. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is temporarily vacant, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will take the position of Minister. After I inspect it, I will decide on a new minister. candidate."

"Your Majesty is wise." The officials echoed.

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Jiang Nian, only to see that his eyes were half closed, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, Xu Zhi saw that Shi Mengsheng's case was a foregone conclusion, and he was taken away, so he had to change a method to make Jiang's father and son feel unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Yuezhao felt exhausted now, wishing to escape from this suffocating court immediately.

Xu Zhi asked: "Your Majesty, if Imperial Physician An is still alive, can he be pardoned for his capital crime?"

Ning Yuezhao narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What does Xu Qing mean by that?"

Xu Zhi said calmly: "I hope that Your Majesty can pardon Yuyi An's death crime for two reasons: First, Yuyi An has a heart of repentance, and he has the ability to never forget, so he should save his life to restore those who were tortured. Burned classics; second, His Majesty's recent wedding, according to the usual practice, is to be amnesty to the world, and An Yuyi should be included in the pardon."

An official of Jiang Qixi's party couldn't stand it any longer, and jumped out and said, "Xu Cifu's words are groundless, everyone is dead, so what is there to forgive?"

Members of Xu Zhi's party immediately said: "Even if Imperial Physician An is dead, he should be cleared."

Someone laughed and said: "Master Xu is so open-minded, he even cares about the grievances of the dead."

"Isn't it?" Someone echoed, "Just a bloody coat with a few words written on it is necessary to overturn the case. Even if An Yuyi really has a photographic memory, it doesn't mean that he can really write all the manuscripts. Come out in silence."

"That's not what I said. Everyone has already gone, so you don't have to be so mean, right?" Some people think it doesn't matter.

"Your Majesty has said that Doctor An has a photographic memory. Are you doubting His Majesty when you question this?"

Listening to the quarrel among the officials, Ning Yuezhao felt a headache.

What exactly does Xu Zhi want to do?
Jiang Nian, who had been silent all this time, said, "Master Xu, you have never had any friendship with An Yuyi, why are you so persistent in seeking a clean name for him?"

Xu Zhi cupped his hands and said: "The emperor's words are wrong. As an official of the imperial court, I have been deeply favored by the emperor. How can I act on personal friendship?"

"Really?" Jiang Nian's voice rose at the end, obviously suspicious.

Xu Zhi stood up and said, "His Royal Highness won't even care about a dead person?"

His implication is that if you Jiang Nian obstructs you again, you will be narrow-minded.

"Stop arguing!" Ning Yuezhao said impatiently, "If An Chen is not dead, and he can really read out the burned classics silently, what's the point of sparing his life?"

She just wants to end this annoying court meeting quickly and relax for a while.

When Xu Zhi heard this, he immediately showed joy, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report!"

"You have so many things to do today!" Ning Yuezhao gave him a displeased look.

Xu Zhi took it calmly, he was very confident in what he was going to say next, and he would definitely please the Empress.

So, under pressure, he announced: "Your Majesty, in fact, Imperial Physician An is not dead yet."

 Sorry for the late update, late home today.

  I've been too busy lately.
