Chapter 262 The Unlucky One Chosen by Heaven

"You..." Prince Duan was choked again.

"Alright," Emperor Lin finally said, "Stop talking. Since there is no evidence, let's just leave it at that."

"How can we just let this go?" Zhou Chang could not be fooled like this. "Father, an important official of the court framed the prince. What crime could this be?"

There was no way. Zhou Chang had not thought about pursuing Qin Shou, but he did not expect that he would bump into him.

Just think of him as the unlucky guy chosen by God, who is also giving himself up to be killed.

The Emperor Lin was annoyed by the quarrel and did not want to continue to argue. He was even more afraid that Prince Yi would come back to "collect debts" from him. He slammed the imperial desk and said, "Qin Shou, are you deliberately framing the prince out of personal grudges?"

"No, I didn't... I never had such intention. Although, although, although there are some untrue points in what I said, I definitely did not mean to frame His Royal Highness Prince Yi." Qin Shou was shocked. He could not afford to be accused of framing the prince. In desperation, he asked Prince Duan for help, "Your Highness Prince Duan, Your Highness Prince Duan, please help me say a word..."

Prince Duan was also anxious: "Prince Yi, you keep saying that Qin Shou framed you, but you still hold the prescription and refuse to hand it over. What else can you say?"

"No need to say." Zhou Chang took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over. "Father, I came here today to hand over the prescription. The situation in Jindu City is stable now, but I heard that the epidemic has the tendency to spread across the country. Please issue the prescription so that the people of Linguo who are suffering from the epidemic can be relieved as soon as possible."

Fang She went over, took the prescription from Zhou Chang's hand, and presented it to Emperor Lin.

The emperor took the prescription and glanced at it, wanting to end the matter quickly: "Qin Shou, as the head of the Imperial Hospital, you framed..."

"Father," Prince Duan lost more than he gained, but he couldn't just watch Qin Shou die like this. "Qin Shou is the head of the Imperial Hospital. Although there is insufficient evidence for what he said just now, we can't say that it's all false. However, considering that he helped prevent the spread of the epidemic this time, even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. Why not put it aside for now and deal with it later..."

Zhou Chang didn't want to leave any traces: "Let's not talk about this matter. Just the fact that Qin Shou is the head of the Imperial Hospital and he is just sitting there doing nothing is despicable. He has been to the epidemic area several times, but has he ever visited the patients in person and prescribed medicine? This is already a serious dereliction of duty, not to mention..."

I wanted to hold on to the accusation that Qin Shou had "framed the prince", but halfway through my words, I suddenly thought of the young boy Qin Zhi back then.

The young man had begged her to spare his father's life one day.

Qin Shou is not a human being, not worthy of being a doctor, and even less worthy of his position, but the young man is innocent.

Framing the prince is a serious crime. If Qin Shou is convicted, his entire family will be implicated.

Zhou Chang suddenly took it back and changed the subject: "Father, Qin Shou is no longer worthy of being the head of the Imperial Hospital."

The emperor didn't want to get involved, but he was afraid that Prince Yi would pester him. Now that Prince Yi suddenly gave in, he was relieved: "Since Prince Yi said so, there is no way to judge without evidence. Qin Shou neglected his duties and failed to perform his duties. From today on, Qin Shou will be dismissed from his position as the head of the Imperial Hospital, demoted to a commoner, and will never be employed by the court again."

Although he lost his official position, at least he escaped unscathed.

Qin Shou had survived a life-or-death experience, and he kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The "big thing" was over, and everyone was in a hurry to leave with their own thoughts.

At this moment, Prince Rong suddenly asked for a meeting.

Emperor Lin had no choice but to allow him to enter.

When Prince Rong entered the study, he was surprised to see so many people there. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes and he bowed quickly.

Emperor Lin called out, "Prince Rong, why are you here at this time?"

Prince Rong replied, "Father, this epidemic came with great force. It came quickly but fortunately it went away quickly. The national treasury is short of money and the grain depot is about to run out of relief. Therefore, I am thinking whether we should raise an excuse to call on those who can afford it in Jindu City to donate rice and grain. Everyone can do their part."

"Yes, it was Prince Rong who thought of calling for donations of money and grain, and Bang'er was also thoughtful." Emperor Lin agreed to such things without hesitation.

Prince Rong added, "I have been following the progress of the construction of the Great Pagoda recently. It will be completed soon. When the time comes, I can call on the people of the city to attend the opening ceremony of the Great Pagoda. What do you think, father?"

"Okay, I'm confident that Prince Rong will do the job." The Emperor glanced at his three sons in front of him and sighed in his heart. It is said that the nine sons of a dragon are all different. Prince Duan is always looking for trouble, Prince Yi is only interested in money, and only Prince Rong is the most considerate and caring.

After the interlude, Emperor Lin set off and everyone took their leave together.

Zhou Chang and Prince Rong walked out of the palace together.

When they were about to leave Donghua Gate, the skinny monkey went ahead to lead the carriage.

Prince Rong suddenly thought of asking, "Ninth brother is coming to the palace today, why doesn't he come to play with twelfth brother?"

"Ah, no. I have been in contact with patients these days. I must not pass the disease on to the children." Zhou Chang said this, but in fact he did not think about it at all.

"You have finally grown up, and you are much more careful than before." Prince Rong nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a great job in controlling the epidemic this time, and it is also hard work."

"Nothing." It was over, so Zhou Chang didn't take it seriously.

As they talked, the two walked out of Donghua Gate.

As soon as they left Donghua Gate, the carriages of Prince Rong and Prince Yi arrived one after another.

Prince Rong's carriage stopped nearby and the driver put down the step stool.

Zhou Chang escorted Prince Rong to the carriage first: "Brother Prince Rong, goodbye."

As he was talking, the door curtain inside the carriage was lifted.

Zhou Chang then saw Prince Rong's personal bodyguard with a dead look on his face.

The guard only showed half of his face. He was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Chang, then raised his hand and saluted: "Your Highness Prince Yi, ahem..."

Hiding in the shadow inside the carriage, the warm winter sun could not shine even a bit on his face. He was still dressed in black, his face was waxy pale, and he looked like he had just crawled out of a grave.

On the contrary, his last two light coughs proved that he was still alive.

Prince Rong said casually, "Ah, don't blame me, my guard is sick again, so I'll let him rest in the carriage, he doesn't need to get off."

Zhou Chang didn't mind the guard's rudeness. Instead, she was worried about Prince Rong. Seeing the personal guard who looked either dead or sick, she really doubted who such a person could protect.

Just as he was about to complain, Prince Rong had already gotten into the carriage with the help of the coachman.

"Cough cough..." The dead-looking personal bodyguard took advantage of the cough to lower the curtain.

Prince Rong sat down and lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Ninth brother, the Great Pagoda will be completed soon. When the opening ceremony is held, you must go and watch the excitement."

"Ah..." When Zhou Chang mentioned the Dafu Pagoda, his brain froze. All that came to his mind were the Yuan family, Yuan Yu and Yuan Qi.

She had mentioned casually that she wanted to go and have a look at the tower.

But if I agree to Prince Rong, what about Yuan Qi?

Zhou Changzheng didn't know why he couldn't make a sound.

Prince Rong smiled knowingly: "Forget it, I know you never join in such fun, so I won't force you. I'll leave first."

"Ah, goodbye, Brother Prince Rong." Zhou Chang bowed.

In a flash, she returned to normal.
