"Empress, you have done something that brings shame to the royal family, and I can't save you!" Cao Guoshi warned her sternly.
Concubine Xian looked in disbelief.
Emperor Yunwu chuckled, "Okay, that's just right. I can't accept being a cuckold."
"Then let me compensate you with five hundred thousand taels of silver first."
Cao Guoshi's expression froze.
"Your Majesty, I don't have that much money at home."
"Then you don't want to." Emperor Yunwu nodded unhappily, "Cao Aiqing must be mentally prepared."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Old minister, the most I can squeeze out of my family is one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is already my entire net worth."
"Master Wu, what about you?"
Emperor Yunwu nodded with satisfaction.
"I... I can afford 20,000 taels of silver from my family." Wu Han was so frightened that he couldn't think clearly. He only subconsciously followed Cao Guoshi's price and made subtractions from it.
As soon as Cao Guoshi heard this.
For a moment, I cursed an idiot in my heart.
Now he finally understood why the emperor called Wu Han, a humble official, into the palace.
Doctor Wu will definitely die.
Wu Han came to the palace obviously to highlight his mistakes.
The Wu family could all come up with twenty thousand taels.
It would be a mistake for him to be a minor assistant, no matter if he takes one hundred thousand taels or fifty thousand taels. The former will make him suspect that he has more, and the latter will mean that he has obviously lied about his family assets.
Cao Guoshi could only comfort himself in his heart. At least outsiders didn't know about it, and his reputation was not damaged.
"Thank you both for your generosity."
"Lin'an, you follow the two of them out of the palace and get the silver today." Emperor Yunwu looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
"yes."
"Old minister...Old minister, I'm resigning."
Cao Guoshi ignored Concubine Xian's plea for help.
The whole figure seemed to be a year older, bent over, and turned around to leave.
Wu Han followed in a daze.
He didn't even dare to look at Dr. Wu.
"Come on." Emperor Yunwu gave the order, and the Royal Forest Army came in immediately. He uttered a faint sentence, "Drag Dr. Wu out and chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs, and let Concubine Xian watch."
Concubine Xian screamed.
He wanted to beg for mercy but was immediately gagged and dragged off.
Doctor Wu almost peed his pants.
He cried out, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, I can redeem your merits. I can save Your Majesty's life!"
Doctor Wu yelled out this sentence with all his strength.
The whole place was silent.
"Can you save my life?"
Emperor Yunwu's eyes fell on him.
Walked around Dr. Wu.
Doctor Wu knelt on the ground and turned, hoping that Emperor Yunwu would spare his life.
"Why do I need you to save my life?"
Doctor Wu swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, I... I know that Concubine Xian gave you medicine."
After all, Dr. Wu just wanted to save himself, and he didn't care about the harm that another accusation would cause to Concubine Xian, or the offending of Cao Guoshi.
It even affects family members.
But he is a selfish person.
Naturally, I won't care about that.
Emperor Yunwu sneered.
I'm glad that Dr. Wu spared his life so much, saving him the time of cross-examination.
"Have you ever felt like you have heart palpitations at night lately?"
Emperor Yunwu looked at him without speaking.
Doctor Wu did not dare to delay any longer, and he sweated heavily.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. It was Concubine Xian who forced me to give you the poison. This poison is called Hanfeng Powder, which is colorless and odorless. If taken for a long time, the body will suddenly collapse. A cold wind can take away a person's life. "
"But during the period of taking it, it will make the body show a healthy pulse without anyone noticing."
"Ah."
Emperor Yunwu smiled.
The fourteenth prince next to him suddenly shouted anxiously, "Father, how is your health?"
"You are not my son, do you care about me?" Emperor Yunwu said calmly.
The eyes of the Fourteenth Prince turned red and turned into swollen eyeballs.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
The Fourteenth Prince stretched out his hand to rub his eyes and lowered his head pitifully.
"This Doctor Wu is your father."
Emperor Yunwu pointed at Imperial Physician Wu and said.
The fourteenth prince shouted heartbreakingly, "I don't have a father anymore, he is not my father."
"He is a bad person, not my father."
"Then Fourteen, come here and give him a sword in person, and I will believe you." Emperor Yunwu said in a wicked way.
An Bin suddenly pulled the Fourteenth Prince to kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please give me and Fourteen a happy life."
"Everything is my concubine's fault."
An Bin could not let Shi Shi be charged with patricide at such a young age.
It was her decision to kill him.
Emperor Yunwu's voice was cold, "I said, come fourteenth."
The fourteenth prince's eyes were red and confused.
"Father...your Majesty."
"Come here." Emperor Yunwu shouted angrily.
Fourteen was so frightened that he ran over immediately.
Forced to take the long sword, he pointed it at Imperial Physician Wu tremblingly.
Doctor Wu climbed back and said, "Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong. I still want to live to help you find the antidote."
"Go." Emperor Yunwu ordered the fourteenth prince.
The Fourteenth Prince cried so hard that he couldn't see in front of him. He raised his sword and walked towards Imperial Physician Wu.
"Baby..." Doctor Wu glared at him fiercely.
The fourteenth prince was so frightened that the sword he held fell to the ground with a bang. He cried and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare, wuwuwu..."
"Come on, Doctor Wu, do something to Fourteen."
Emperor Yunwu seemed to have made up his mind and wanted to see the two father and son kill each other.
Doctor Wu trembled and swallowed.
The fourteenth prince had fallen to the ground, looking confused.
"emperor……"
There was temptation in Emperor Yunwu's voice, "As long as you do a good job and I feel happy, I will spare your life."
With his heart beating like thunder, Doctor Wu made an instant decision. He raised his sword and struck directly at the Fourteenth Prince.
"Wu Jun! How dare you!"
An Bin roared and rushed towards the Fourteenth Prince.
The fourteenth prince was so frightened that he froze.
Just in the nick of time.
Emperor Yunwu raised his foot and kicked Imperial Physician Wu away.
"Pfft..." Doctor Wu rolled to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The fourteenth prince was so frightened that he hid in Concubine An's arms.
"A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. Doctor Wu, you really put me through a good show. No wonder you could cuckold me."
"Come here, drag him down and torture him. If we can't find out where the antidote is, I will make him live in pain for a day."
Emperor Yunwu said in a cold voice.
Doctor Wu was dragged down, still shouting for mercy.
But at this time, no one would look at him again.
The courtyard of Leng Palace suddenly became quiet, and only Liu Jiaxiu, An Bin and the Fourteenth Prince were left.
"Master Liu, I will still keep what I promised you before."
Liu Jiaxiu has already understood.
The emperor is giving both kindness and power.
But he still felt grateful in his heart.
Because he knew that he was the one who did the wrong thing.
"Your Majesty, it's your fault, it's your fault, it's your fault, we are sorry for you."
Liu Jiaxiu burst into tears and was filled with grief.
"From now on, my life belongs to the emperor. Whatever the emperor asks me to do, I will do it."
