After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 493 The Enemy of My Enemy

In Yonghe Palace, Jiapin has fainted three times.

"How is Concubine Jia?" The emperor asked the imperial physician who was taking her pulse with a serious face.

Doctor Li knelt down and said in fear, "Your Majesty, the queen has been stimulated, the fetus is unstable, and there is a symptom of miscarriage. If the queen is upset, even if I am Hua Tuo, I can't do anything!"

On the carved agarwood bed, Jiapin lay there with a pale face, her brows slightly furrowed, her black hair scattered at her sides, and her already pretty face looked even more fragile.

The emperor looked at Jiapin with great distress. He held Jiapin's hand and said in a slow tone, "Feng'er, things have come to this point. For the sake of our child, please look at it more open-mindedly."

Although his tone was gentle, it carried the commanding tone of a superior, and was vaguely displeased.

"His Majesty……"

Jiapin closed her eyes and spoke weakly with a strong breath, "My heart... hurts so much."

After saying that, he fainted again.

"Imperial Physician! Quick! Concubine Jia fainted again."

The imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground immediately stood up, took the patient's pulse, took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, and asked the palace maid to give it to Concubine Jia.

Seeing that Jiapin swallowed the pill smoothly, Doctor Li said, "Your Majesty, the queen is too worried. I gave her a tranquilizer to help her sleep. Now it's better for the queen to sleep than to be awake. However, this is not a long-term solution. The queen's worries must be resolved first."

The emperor looked at Concubine Jia who was sleeping on the bed, feeling both pity and guilt.

Jiapin's concern is her younger brother Li Xiaoyun. The imperial physician Zhang who was sent to deal with the matter came back to report that Li Xiaoyun would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Thinking of the fifty lashes of cane given to Su Heng, the emperor became furious.

He had clearly instructed Zhang Zhong to be gentle when executing the person and just pretend to do it, but he still had his spine broken. He deserves to die!

"Xuan Zhangzhong!"

When Zhang Zhong met the emperor, one side of his face was swollen.

The emperor slammed the table and asked angrily: "Zhang Zhong, what's wrong with you? I told you to be gentle, why did you break his spine?"

After kneeling down, Zhang Zhong hurriedly knelt down to explain: "Your Majesty, it was not my fault! After receiving your Majesty's order, I ordered the jailer to be gentle. I did not expect that the jailer would actually break Mr. Li's spine. I have already detained him and am preparing to bring him to trial when I return."

The emperor didn't believe Zhang Zhong's words at all.

"Quibbling! You were at the execution site, the force was enough to break the spine, how could you not see it?"

Zhang Zhong thought back to the situation at that time and said, "Your Majesty, the jailers who carry out caning are all trained. There is not much difference between light beating and heavy beating. Your Majesty can ask other jailers about this."

"Besides, Master Li did not cry out in pain from beginning to end. I thought the jailer was following orders, so I did not stop him. The twenty or so people present can testify to this, and Your Majesty can verify this as well."

There are problems with both the executioner and Li Xiaoyun.

If it was Zhang Zhong, he would seem too stupid for attacking in his own territory.

The emperor's eyes became increasingly gloomy.

Zhang Zhong and Li Yi had no direct conflict of interest, and as far as he knew, there was no old grudge between the two in the past.

If it’s not Zhang Zhong, then it’s Su Heng.

After yesterday's conversation, the emperor thought he had really let go of his worries, but he didn't expect that he would actually take action in secret!

The emperor looked at Zhang Zhong who was kneeling in the hall and ordered in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhong, this matter ends with the jailer. Do you understand?"

This is not the first time the monarch and his subjects have dealt with each other. Zhang Zhong certainly understands this, but Li Yi will not agree.

As the Minister of War, how could he bear to see his legitimate son being beaten to a cripple by the Ministry of Justice!

Zhang Zhong said respectfully: "I will obey your majesty's order, but I am afraid Lord Li will not agree.

The emperor took a look at the wound on Zhang Zhong's face, and understood what was happening. He slowed down his tone and said, "Li Yi, I will comfort him. You clean up the Ministry of Justice."

"I don't want to see this kind of thing again."

"I obey your order." Zhang Zhong was naturally happy to have the emperor take care of the aftermath.

After returning to the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Zhong thought about it and decided to write a secret letter and let the pigeon take it out.

Li Xiaoyun was beaten like that during the execution, but he didn't feel any pain. There must be something wrong.

But Li Yi didn't let him get close to Li Xiaoyun.

Li Yi's second daughter is the sister-in-law of Princess Su, so maybe the princess can do it.

When Zhang Zhong arrived at the place where the jailer was imprisoned, he saw a group of jailers standing at the cell door.

A bad feeling came over me, and I went forward to take a look. I saw that the jailer had strangled himself to death with his belt. On the wall was written in blood: Zhang Zhong forced me to harm others with the lives of my family. I feel guilty and I will die to atone for my sin to Master Li.

The jailers around him slowly retreated, keeping a distance from Zhang Zhong, with a vigilant look on their faces.

Zhang Zhong glanced at the jailer beside him and asked, "Who's on duty?"

A man in his thirties stood out from behind the crowd, lowered his head, and explained with a terrified look on his face: "He asked me to take a message to his family. I thought we were all acquaintances, so I... left for a while and asked someone to pass on the message..."

His voice became quieter and quieter, fear stopping him from saying anything more.

Zhang Zhong narrowed his eyes and stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "You treat him as an acquaintance, but he has never thought about you. What will happen to you if he neglects his duties!"

After saying that, he walked into the next cell and raised his hand to order the jailer in front of him: "You, go and ask the Minister of Justice, Lord Wu, to come to the palace immediately to report this matter."

"Go and ask the Dali Temple to send someone over."

"Go to my house and tell my wife that I'm fine and will be back home in a few days."

"Don't move at the scene. Wait for someone from the Dali Temple to verify it."

After explaining everything, Zhang Zhong sat down on the bed in the cell and closed his eyes.

Everything was arranged, and everyone went about their own business, dispersing, leaving only a few people standing not far away to protect the scene.

When Yan Qing got the letter from Zhang Zhong, he immediately showed it to Xiao Yu.

From a selfish point of view, Xiao Yu didn't want Su Lingyue to get involved in these matters, but this was her business and she had to decide for herself.

Su Lingyue took the letter handed to her by Xiao Yu, glanced at it lightly, and frowned, as if she was thinking.

Thinking that she didn't want to go, Xiao Yu smoothed her brows and said, "If Yue'er doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to go. Let Yan Qing quietly bring Lu Bo in tonight and we can investigate as well."

Su Lingyue shook her head. "My eldest sister-in-law treated me very well in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now that her brother is like this, I feel a little guilty. Even if Lord Zhang doesn't write to me, I plan to go to the Li Mansion to take a look."

"Okay!" Xiao Yu stroked her pretty face and gently reminded her: "Don't be stubborn. Come back if you can't find the answer. This has nothing to do with you."

"Well, I know!" Su Lingyue tilted her head and rubbed Xiao Yu's palm with her soft lips. "Mr. Li looks like he has been drugged. I plan to take Ling'er with me to check it out."

Su Lingyue took Li Jing and Caiyi to He Mansion to pick up Ling Ling. After briefly explaining the situation, the four of them set off for Li Mansion together.

At the side door of Li's mansion, several people were waiting in the carriage, and the gatekeeper went to report to Li Yi.

"Princess Su?"

"Yes, sir, the princess is waiting outside. She said she brought a miracle doctor to treat your injury."

Ever since Su Lingyue married into Prince Su's mansion and stood on a different side, Li Yi cut off all contact with Su Lingyue.

Thinking of his son, Li Yi swallowed his words of refusal and ordered the servant, "Please invite someone in."

Ever since Li Yi and Su Heng fell out over Su Mingyi, and Li Yi had tried many times to reconcile with Su Heng without success, Li Yi knew that he and Su Heng were no longer allies, but enemies.

And Xiao Yu is also Su Heng's enemy.

The enemy of your enemy may be your ally.
