Chapter 390 9 The Reason Why the Princess Was Punished
Eunuch Wang looked at Qingcui who came out from the kitchenette.
Eunuch Wang pointed at Qingcui and said:
"come here."
Qingcui hurried over and bowed:
"I've met the prince."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Qingcui immediately knelt down, tears falling from her eyes, and said:
"Eunuch Wang, I beg you, please save my princess. If this continues, my princess will die here sooner or later."
Eunuch Wang bowed towards the direction of the palace and said:
"The Emperor sent us here. We are here today to represent the Emperor. What is going on? Just tell me!"
"Yes."
Qing Cui then wiped her tears and said:
"Concubine Jin said she had chest pains and once fainted. After the court doctor examined her, he said that Concubine Jin's heart disease needed to be nourished by human blood.
Ordinary people's blood will not work. It must be the blood of someone with high status, high position and good family background.
They finally chose the princess.
The princess was unwilling, so the prince threatened her with the eldest son's life.
The prince said that the General of Right Guard had only one son, so it was possible that he had died quietly at some point in time.
The Right Guard General is far away at the border, and the princess is isolated and helpless, so she can only compromise. "
Jie Jinglou said anxiously:
"How could the princess be so stupid as to give in just because of such a threat?"
Qingcui lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Jie Jinglou didn't expect that all this was for him. He staggered back several steps and was supported by his servant so that he didn't fall. He said sadly:
"Why do I have such a stupid sister!"
Eunuch Wang asked:
"Someone, go call the court doctor?"
"Yes."
Eunuch Wang turned to Qingcui and said:
"You go on."
"Yes.
In this way, the princess was bled 15 times, almost once a month."
Eunuch Wang: "That means the princess has been bleeding for more than a year."
"Yes."
Eunuch Wang continued to ask:
"What's the matter with the wound on Princess Nine's back?"
"Concubine Jin was pregnant and had a miscarriage. She said it was the princess who pushed her. The prince listened to Concubine Jin and ordered the princess to be beaten on the charge of murdering the heir to the throne.
Afterwards, the court doctor was not allowed to treat the princess's injuries.
The princess had a high fever and the prince wouldn't let us go outside to ask for a doctor. I had no choice but to spend money to ask someone to pass a message to the Right Guard General's Mansion.
I know this is against the rules, but I have no choice. If this goes on, the princess might...
In fact, things were not at all as Concubine Jin said. I was there that day and saw it clearly.
Concubine Jin fell down on purpose.
That day, the princess and I met Concubine Jin in the garden. Our princess didn't want to cause trouble, so she wanted to bypass her and leave.
When we passed each other, Concubine Jin suddenly fell to the ground, and blood started flowing from her body. Then Concubine Jin said aggrievedly that it was our princess who pushed her, but the princess really didn't.
The prince came like this. After he came, he didn't listen to the princess' explanation at all. He ordered people to drag the princess away and beat her. The prince just carried Concubine Jin and left. When he left, he also said that after the beating, the court doctor was not allowed to treat the princess's injuries, nor were we allowed to go outside to ask for a doctor, and the princess was not allowed to leave the yard.
Our princess is truly wronged, please restore our princess' innocence."
After hearing these words, what else could people not understand? These were the shameless means of competing for favor in the harem.
Jie Jinglou asked anxiously:
"Who was present when Concubine Jin had a miscarriage?"
"At that time, there were only the servant and the princess, as well as Concubine Jin and her personal maid. There were only four of us."
Eunuch Wang listened carefully and said:
"I will convey every word of your words to the emperor, and the emperor will decide the right and wrong!"
"Yes."
“Get up!
Someone, go and invite Concubine Jin. We will bring her and the court physician to the palace to meet the Emperor.
If you are unwell due to miscarriage, then you should be carried in a sedan chair and you must enter the palace today no matter what."
"Yes."
Eunuch Wang's words blocked Concubine Jin's way out, and she had no choice but to enter the palace.
Eunuch Wang came this time in compliance with the Emperor's order, and Concubine Jin had no way to resist.
At this moment, the court doctor had been brought in.
When the court doctor saw so many people, did he break out in cold sweat on his back?
The court doctor still stepped forward and saluted:
"I have met several distinguished persons."
Eunuch Wang: "Well, you are the palace doctor of the Ninth Prince's Palace?"
"Yes."
"Then let me ask you?
It was you who came up with the idea of using the Ninth Princess' blood to treat Concubine Jin's heart disease?"
The court doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said:
"I just said that it would only work if the blood was from someone of high status, high position, and good family background.
I never said that we must use the princess's blood.
It was definitely not my idea that the prince chose the princess in the end."
Song Yaoyao sneered. The court doctor had said so. Apart from the prince, the princess was the most qualified person in the palace. Wasn't this clearly telling others that the princess' blood would be used?
Anyone with a brain could understand the implicit meaning of the court physician's words. Was there any need for him to mention his name?
People like this are the most hateful!
Did he think that he could shirk all responsibility in this way? He was just dreaming!
How could Song Yaoyao let go of such a person with corrupt medical ethics? She asked:
"You are the palace doctor of the Ninth Prince's Palace, right?
I don't know where you learned this treatment method?
Why have I never heard of a person with heart disease being cured by drinking the blood of someone with high status, high position, or good family background?
Li Yuanzheng, have you heard of it?"
"Forgive me for my lack of knowledge and I have never heard of it."
Song Yaoyao looked at the court doctor and said coldly:
"Did you hear that? We haven't heard of it?
Where did you learn this method? Could you explain it to us?
If you can't explain everything today, then you are deliberately murdering the princess!
Doctors can save lives and heal the wounded, but there are also those who have lost their conscience and, for their own benefit, can help the tyrants to commit atrocities and disregard the lives of others. "
The court doctor was so frightened that he was trembling and couldn't utter a word.
She just accepted money from Concubine Jin and talked nonsense according to her wishes.
Now if he is asked where he learned this, what will he say?
The two people opposite him were both imperial physicians and experts, so even if he wanted to make up something, he couldn't.
Song Yaoyao continued to ask:
"Tell me, which family needs to drink human blood to treat illness?
If drinking human blood can really cure diseases, then are we still human?
I'm afraid it's some kind of monster, right? Don't you think so? "
Jie Jinglou also echoed:
"Yeah, I've never heard of anyone drinking human blood to treat illnesses.
Not to mention human blood, even animal blood, no one drinks it."
