Chapter 121: Delay Him
Chapter 121: Delay Him
Jin Yuyao was questioned, and Prince An brought Chen Qianhe and Wang Jingshan out of the house.
Prince An asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Xu Huaishui bowed and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Yu has been following Doctor Jin for a few days and has discovered that she is a complete liar. Doctor Jin has betrayed your trust. It is truly despicable that she lied to you when the truth was clearly not true.
Now that we know she's a liar, Your Majesty, you must punish her severely."
Prince An smiled mysteriously: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then what crime do you think I should punish her for?"
Xu Huaishui glared at Jin Yuyao and said, "In my opinion, she should be cut into pieces. Otherwise, it will not only appease the public anger, but also serve as a warning to others so that they will not make such a mistake again."
Chen Qianhe couldn't help but mourn for Xu Huaishui when he saw him jumping around like that. He didn't even look at Prince An's expression and really couldn't tell what was going on.
He looked at the kneeling Doctor Yu and asked, "Then how did you know that Doctor Jin's medicine was a scam?"
When Doctor Yu heard Xu Huaishui calling him "Prince" just now, he was so scared that he knelt there and trembled.
Doctor Yu trembled all over and said, "Sir, we have been working on those herbs recently. By chance, we spread them in an area with a lot of locusts. It's not as exaggerated as Doctor Jin said. I was suspicious, so I reported her to the county magistrate as a liar."
Chen Qianhe looked at Xu Huaishui and said, "Do you think so too?"
Xu Huaishui listened to Chen Qianhe's tone and said, "I'm not very clear about the details. Doctor Yu came to me and said that the potion developed by Doctor Jin was fake. I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I brought people to confirm it with Doctor Jin."
Xu Huaishui's answer was flawless and he got himself out of the trouble first.
Jin Yuyao trembled even more violently as she looked at Doctor Yu kneeling on the ground.
Chen Qianhe said, "Doctor Jin, do you have anything to say?"
Jin Yuyao stared at Doctor Yu lying on the ground and said, "Doctor Yu, you only know one side of the story. The herbs you made are certainly not as miraculous as you say. I already know this, but there's one thing you don't know. That's the final step, I have to add some herbs."
Doctor Yu looked up at Jin Yuyao in shock. "How could that be? I've never seen you add any herbs before."
Jin Yuyao laughed and said, "How could something I showed you be a secret recipe? Besides, I put so much effort into developing it. I meant well, but who would have thought you would actually doubt me?"
Doctor Yu's eyes were red as he roared, "You are immoral! You didn't even show us the complete prescription."
Jin Yuyao thought to herself, "Even if I gave you this prescription, you wouldn't be able to make it. I didn't have any selfish motives in mind. I did this last step just to test whether the ones you had made before were any good. But I didn't expect to meet someone like this today."
Doctor Yu said, "Everyone says you're selfless, but it turns out you're hiding something. You talk about being selfless, but in reality you're just being selfish and pursuing fame and fortune."
When Wang Jingshan heard someone slandering Jin Yuyao, he raised his fist and wanted to hit them.
Jin Yuyao stopped him and smiled at Doctor Yu, saying, "What have I gained? I've been working day and night on this research, and even when I'm in the fields, I'm still misunderstood. There's even a killer who wants to kill me."
If you are noble, then would you share your secret recipe with everyone? Can you do it yourself? If you can't do it yourself, why do you ask others to do it?
The matter was now clear, and Chen Qianhe said, "Come here, he has evil intentions. Take Doctor Yu away and give him fifty lashes. He can no longer practice medicine. If you find out, I will not forgive him."
Doctor Yu begged for mercy: "Your Excellency, I am wronged. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me. Your Excellency, I know I was wrong."
No one present spoke. Doctor Yu looked at Xu Huaishui, who was holding onto his clothes, and said, "Please plead for me, sir. I really know I was wrong, and I still have to rely on my medical practice to support my family."
Xu Huaishui didn't want to speak, but Doctor Yu kept pulling at his clothes and wouldn't let go.
He said coldly, "You brought this upon yourself. Don't blame others. Blame yourself for your evil intentions."
Two people came and carried Doctor Yu out directly.
Prince An turned to look at Chen Qianhe and said, "The medicine has been sprayed, and we don't know what the condition is. Let's go and take a look."
"It's the prince."
When Prince An left, he specifically told Jin Yuyao: "Mrs. Jin, don't worry about what others think. We trust you. This incident today will never happen again. Just focus on making medicine."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
By dinner time, Wang Jingshan and his friends had not returned yet.
Jin Yuyao originally wanted to wait for them to return to Xu Mansion together.
She was a little worried that something had happened. There had been too many accidents recently.
He lowered his head and thought about things in the yard.
"Mrs. Jin, you are so amazing."
When Jin Yuyao looked up, she saw Prince An, Wang Jingshan and Chen Qianhe walking in with smiles on their faces.
Jin Yuyao doesn't know what happened?
Wang Jingshan smiled and said, "Lord Chen was very impressed by the scene in the fields today. You don't know that the locusts died in large numbers. We were so happy to see them. We looked everywhere and saw the same thing."
Prince An smiled and said, "Yuyao, this time it's all thanks to you. When it's over, I'll report your story to my father, and he will definitely reward you."
Jin Yuyao was happy just thinking about whether the emperor would reward her with a lot of money and gold.
Prince An said, "Jingshan and I originally wanted to go back directly. He kept saying that you should still be in the county government office. I didn't expect that you two would be so in tune with each other."
Jin Yuyao felt hot on her face when she saw so many people.
Wang Jingshan said, "Your Highness, you see Yuyao is shy because of what you said. Let's go quickly."
Prince An said, "Okay, let's go back to Xu's house."
Jin Yuyao and others returned to Xu's house.
Mrs. Xu was not at home, and the maid brought them food when she saw them return.
Jin Yuyao asked, "Who else is at home?"
The maid said, "The lady has returned to her parents' home, and the master hasn't come back yet."
The maid put down the food and left.
Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan originally wanted to go back to their room to eat.
Prince An said, "Let's eat together."
Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan looked at each other, Wang Jingshan nodded, and the three of them sat down.
Prince An said, "Outside, there aren't so many rules. It's just a simple meal. You don't have to be restrained."
The two nodded and the three of them started eating. Halfway through the meal, Zhan Feng came in and knelt on one knee.
"The prince has made an important discovery."
Prince An said, "What happened? Did you find it? Where is it?"
Zhan Feng nodded and looked at the prince's anxious expression and said, "There is a secret room behind the bed in Xu Huaishui's room."
Prince An looked at the sky and said, "Zhan Feng, Xu Huaishui should be back soon. Go and ask Chen Qianhe to hold him back."
"Yes"
Zhan Feng flew away.
Prince An said anxiously, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them didn't even eat and walked towards Xu Huaishui's room.
Avoid servants and maids along the way.
Finally arrived at Xu Huaishui's room.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the bed, and Prince An began to look for the place that Zhan Feng mentioned.
