Chapter 1624

During the early morning court, the courtiers suddenly attacked Emperor Yuanding.

The Brocade Uniform Guard was stirring up a great prison case, catching people everywhere, and they were scholars, which made the courtiers feel great unease. The Brocade Uniform Guard dared to do this because of the Emperor's indulgence.

The Emperor must withdraw his order and limit the authority of the Brocade Uniform Guard.

Immediately after, the case of Imperial Consort Xiao being poisoned was turned over.

Emperor Yuanding was already filled with anger; if he couldn't do this, couldn't do that, what was the point of him being this Emperor, it would be better to be a leisurely Prince.

Moreover, the courtiers were insinuating that the poisoning of Imperial Consort Xiao couldn't be separated from the palace. It was almost pointing at his nose and scolding him for being base.

He was extremely angry, "Imperial Consort Xiao took pills and was poisoned by pill poison, this matter can be testified by the Taiyi Academy. You all stop talking nonsense and climbing up to involve others. The sword in my hand has not been blunt."

"May I ask Your Majesty, which Taiyi physician in the Taiyi Academy clearly stated that Imperial Consort Xiao was poisoned by pill poison?"

Instantly, the Taiyi Academy became the focus.

They couldn't argue a result, so they simply let the Taiyi physician come forward to explain.

Mu Wenxu, as the youngest Taiyi physician in the Taiyi Academy, had no background and no connections, so he was pushed out to take the blame.

He had been working overtime for several days, his brain was buzzing, and he hadn't even found out what the courtiers were arguing about. When he arrived at the Golden Throne Hall, he was questioned by the censor about Imperial Consort Xiao's condition.

Seeing his confused face, Minister Cao Song patiently appeased him: "Taiyi physician Mu, don't be afraid, you just need to tell the truth, what is Imperial Consort Xiao's situation, is it pill poison? Or are there other hidden secrets. Tell the truth, I will guarantee your safety."

Mu Wenxu opened his mouth, although he still didn't know what had happened, he felt that it was very dangerous at this moment.

How should he say it?

He hadn't seen this kind of scene, he didn't know how to deal with it.

His brain was very messy.

Suddenly remembering what his grandfather said, as a doctor, only do what a doctor should do, say what should be said, and know nothing about other things.

He took a deep breath, buried his head, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, all ministers, Imperial Consort Xiao is indeed poisoned."

"What poison?"

"Is it pill poison?"

"The poison was put in the pills. Fortunately, Imperial Consort Xiao took the pills in several portions every day, so the poisoning wasn't deep. It was discovered in time, and she escaped danger. The poison is a common poison, it won't be immediately fatal, but it will make the person's body gradually weaken, and eventually vomit blood and die."

Mu Wenxu's heart was beating very fast.

He clearly felt that when he told the truth about the poisoning, above, in the direction of the Emperor, the gaze piercing him was very terrifying, as if wanting to peel his skin and take his bones.

Finished, finished.

He told the truth, did he offend the Emperor?

The Emperor didn't want to hear the truth, could it be because...

He didn't dare to continue thinking deeply, his heart was already regretting to death.

Would he die!

If the Emperor wanted to execute him, did he have a life to live?

No one cared about his situation, he was taken out of the Golden Throne Hall by a small yellow gate.

He was about to cry, who could save him.

After returning to the Taiyi Academy, he was detained, waiting for the higher-ups to speak. He couldn't even send a letter outside the palace. He hid in the side room and cried secretly, silently writing a will, only hoping not to involve his family.

Grandfather was right, the Mu family shouldn't be Taiyi physicians.

It's too dangerous!

Just when he was panic-stricken, the Fengzao Palace summoned him.

"Empress is feeling unwell, and specifically named you to go, hurry up."

Mu Wenxu heard this and instantly came alive, "Empress specifically named me to see a doctor?"

"Yes! You have good luck. How could the Empress know you? Hurry up. You have such great guts, daring to make the Empress wait for you."

"I, I will go right now!"

Mu Wenxu picked up the medicine box, came back to his senses, threw the previously written will into the stove, watched the will turn into ashes with his own eyes, and then rushed to the Fengzao Palace.

The sky was dark!

Arriving at the Fengzao Palace, he first took the pulse of the eldest son, and finally took the pulse of Empress Chen.

"Were you scared?" Empress Chen stretched out her right hand, placed it on the pulse pillow, and asked casually.

Mu Wenxu was stunned for a moment, "Empress specifically saved me?"

Empress Chen chuckled, "You are Rongrong's husband; knowing you are in trouble, how could I stand by and watch. Is Rongrong well?"

Mu Wenxu was both excited and fearful, he was young and couldn't control his emotions, tears fell down with a swish.

"Thank you for your concern, Empress, Rongrong is very well!"

Empress Chen glanced at him and appeased him softly: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can take your life. After taking the pulse, I will arrange for you to leave the palace. Find any excuse, rest at home for a few days. After things calm down, if you still want to continue being a Taiyi physician, it won't be too late to come back then."

"Empress's kindness in saving my life, I can't repay it even if I work like a cow or a horse. If you have any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Don't talk about repaying yet. Next time you encounter this kind of thing, be thicker-skinned and refuse directly. Don't be bullied by that group of old oil sticks just because you are young and not dare to speak up. With me as your backing, you don't need to fear anyone, and you don't have to give anyone face. Do you remember?"

"I remember! I didn't know the inside story beforehand, and when I arrived at the Golden Throne Hall, I realized the problem was very serious. But there was no retreat, and I didn't know what to say, so I could only tell the truth."

"Honest child, being a doctor is no problem, but being a Taiyi physician is lacking experience. After going back, tell the whole thing to Taiyi physician Mu, and let him make the decision for you. He is also relieved, how can you, a young man, be the opponent of old oil sticks."

Empress Chen was very emotional.

In the palace, it is rare to see someone as simple and pure as Mu Wenxu, who hasn't been contaminated by worldliness and shrewd calculations, which is why he was pushed out by that group of old oil sticks in the Taiyi Academy to take the blame. What a vicious heart, what a vicious method.

"In the future, do things with more heart. Don't be foolishly used by others. If you are not sure, just refuse. Don't be afraid of offending people! I will support you, there is nothing to be afraid of."

How could Mu Wenxu not be afraid.

Taiyi physicians in the palace are at the bottom of the food chain, only a little better than those eunuchs and palace maids who are not in power. But if they encounter a eunuch with some power, they have to be polite, fearing to offend people.

This job of Taiyi physician is really hard to do!

He regretted it!

He started to miss the freedom of the Heavenly Prison.

It was a bit dirty, there was a bit more work, and the environment was a bit worse. But in terms of status, in terms of freedom, the Imperial Palace couldn't compare.

In the Heavenly Prison, everyone had to hold the medical official. Even the prisoners didn't dare to be presumptuous!

Unlike the Imperial Palace, where Taiyi physicians are grandsons, everyone can bully them. If the brain is a bit dull, there is also a threat to life.

He really wanted to cry out loud.

The calculation he suffered today, the panic and torture in his heart, he never wanted to experience a second time.

He wiped away his tears and took the pulse for Empress Chen.

He thought it was just a peace pulse, but...

He confirmed again and again, wanting to speak but stopping.

Empress Chen saw the strange color on his face, "If there is any problem, just say it."

"It's not a problem, it's good news. I felt a happy pulse."

"Oh!" Empress Chen's expression didn't change.

The big palace maid was the first to be surprised, "Empress is pregnant? Taiyi physician Mu, are you sure?"
