Chapter 14: Beat to death to pay the penalty
Facing the doctor's shouting, Lu Jingning was not panicked at all. He said in a cold voice: "He can still talk nonsense. It seems that the beating is not enough. Keep beating him until he changes his words."
"Aning, the miracle doctor said it was you who ordered it. Do you still want to force a confession?" Concubine Wan stood up anxiously: "If you continue to beat him, he will die."
The doctor gnashed his teeth and said, "No matter how the princess tortures me into confessing, I will not change my words. The princess is framing me."
Concubine Wan immediately pointed at Lu Jingning, looking incredulous: "I didn't expect that you are so vicious at such a young age. The wife of Duke Su was very kind to you in the past."
Even the wife of Duke Suguo believed that it was Lu Jingning who framed her and brought shame upon her. Her original intention in coming to Zhongling Pavilion was to get the antidote for Zhao Sui.
However, she was tricked by the maid into sitting in the hall and drinking tea, one cup after another. Finally, she fell into coma for some reason, and when she woke up, she was already in the side room.
Lady Suguogong was so angry that she lost her mind. Now that she was sober, she wanted to strangle Lu Jingning to death.
"Lu Jingning!!"
Lu Jingning stood on the steps, looking down at the miracle doctor. The sudden fierceness in his eyes frightened the miracle doctor so much that his heart trembled.
"Beat him! Beat him hard for me. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death!"
The miracle doctor panicked. The board behind him hit him again and again. He screamed in pain: "Help! Someone is going to kill someone. They are going to kill innocent people. Where is the law?"
"Stop!" Concubine Wan shouted.
The guard's hand did not stop, so Concubine Wan had no choice but to pull Lu Jingning and said, "Stop hitting me, or something bad will happen. Do you really want to force me to confess?"
"Confessed under torture?" Lu Jingning smiled, "Don't worry, Concubine. This bastard is indestructible. He dared to cause chaos in the Eastern Palace. Someone must have instructed him to do so. If I can't get any information out of him today, I will go to the Emperor to investigate thoroughly!"
Hearing this, not only Concubine Wan couldn't sit still, even the wife of Duke Su couldn't hold back, and said angrily: "What, you still want to make a fuss about this matter in front of the emperor, Lu Jingning, why are you so vicious, you want to force me to death?"
"Yes, this matter involves the reputation of the Duke Su's Mansion. If you make a big deal out of it, how will the wife of the Duke Su live in the future?" Concubine Wan threatened with both coaxing and deception.
Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Wan: "Concubine, do you want me, an innocent person, to plead guilty?"
"Aning, this was your doing. You should plead guilty."
Before Concubine Wan could finish her words, she saw a dark green sachet fall when the guards were carrying out the execution. Suddenly, her eyelids twitched.
"Princess!" Yun Zai pointed at the sachet that fell from the doctor's body, picked it up quickly, put it to her nose and sniffed it. Her face immediately flushed and her body went limp. She raised her hand and slapped herself hard before she came to her senses.
The wife of Duke Suguo was an experienced person. When she saw Yunzai's reaction, she knew that there was something fishy about the sachet. She snatched it away, smelled it, and realized something was wrong and quickly threw it away.
"What a despicable trick!" she laughed.
Lu Jingning was puzzled: "Go ask the imperial physician to check what this is."
The maid ran to invite him.
Concubine Wan on the side pursed her lips. She suddenly realized that this situation killed three birds with one stone. She eliminated the miracle doctor, plotted against the wife of Duke Su, and unknowingly dragged herself into the water.
Concubine Wan clenched her fingertips, took a deep breath, looked at the doctor, and winked: "Divine doctor, why don't you tell the truth quickly? It's a pity that the prince trusted you so much and recommended you to the East Palace, but you actually brought things from Qingluan Pavilion into the East Palace and were deceived by them. Do you know your crime!"
The miracle doctor was stunned.
Qingluan Pavilion is a brothel, he has never been there.
Facing Concubine Wan's warning, the doctor thought for a moment, and Concubine Wan became anxious: "Because of your fault, the East Palace was almost in chaos. You have disappointed the prince so much!"
Concubine Wan kept choking on the word "Prince".
Having said this, the miracle doctor understood what it meant. He was asking him to confess his guilt. He raised his head and looked at Lu Jingning.
"As long as you are willing to plead guilty and have not committed any serious crime, the princess will definitely not put you to death. After all, you have made great contributions in saving the Crown Princess, and your merits and demerits offset each other. The Crown Princess is still counting on you to keep this baby alive." Concubine Wan reminded.
The genius doctor thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought the things from Qingluan Pavilion into the palace. I lost my mind for a moment and frightened the wife of Duke Su."
"Asshole!" Lady Suguo rushed forward angrily and slapped him hard several times. Her heart was beating hard, and she said to the guards, "Beat him to death, beat him to death for me."
He actually dared to humiliate her. Lady Suguogong wished she could cut him into pieces.
The genius doctor panicked and immediately looked at Concubine Wan.
"Madam Duke, the miracle doctor was recommended by the prince to the Crown Princess for treatment. His crime does not deserve the death penalty, and he has already been beaten. He will surely learn from it and will not commit the same mistake again. Please forgive him for the sake of the prince." Concubine Wan pulled Madam Duke Su's hand and apologized while reminding her.
The miracle doctor is the prince's man and cannot be touched.
Lady Suguogong gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you say today?"
"Deal with all the people present today. I guarantee that no one will know what happened today." Concubine Wan patted her chest and promised.
After hearing this, Lady Suguogong's anger subsided by half.
The two of them arranged everything one after another, completely forgetting about her. Lu Jingning raised his chin slightly and said, "Keep fighting! Don't stop without my permission!"
Concubine Wan frowned: "Aning, this matter has been dealt with, why are you still hitting people?"
"Who told you that it's been handled properly? The genius doctor behaved improperly. Fortunately, I discovered this dirty thing in time. The Eastern Palace cannot tolerate this dirty thing." Lu Jingning said sternly: "Everyone in the Eastern Palace should show this princess clearly today that anyone who dares to do evil in the Eastern Palace will not be tolerated by this princess."
The genius doctor was dumbfounded, and quickly asked Concubine Wan for help: "Concubine Wan, save me!"
"Lu Jingning!" Concubine Wan was so angry that she almost fell over. She scolded him several times, but the guards who were executing him turned a deaf ear to her and still raised the board and hit the miracle doctor hard.
The wife of Duke Suguo also called for a halt.
Lu Jingning didn't even give the doctor a glance. She looked at the miracle doctor coldly, raised her eyebrows and smiled. She was going to make a big deal about this matter today.
Take the opportunity to remove this cancer of the miracle doctor!
After a dozen boards were struck, the miracle doctor breathed his last, staring at Lu Jingning intently. If others saw it, they would probably be scared.
But Lu Jingning smiled faintly, turned his head and said to the wife of Duke Su, "Madam Guo was wronged in the East Palace today."
"You!" Lady Suguogong's lips trembled as she glared at her: "A person like you is not worthy of marrying into the Duke's Mansion, and I will not recognize you as my daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Lu Jingning's smile deepened. He pointed at the doctor's body and ordered the guards, "Send the doctor to the Duke Su's mansion to apologize immediately, and explain everything that happened today to the Duke Su!"
