Judge Wu was a little disappointed. He turned around and sighed, shaking his head. He helplessly said, “No wonder. You were still young when your father passed away. Your father is the gentlest person I’ve ever met. His temper is so good that I sometimes get angry when I see him. I know he’s a careful person. He definitely wouldn’t have made a mistake in the dosage, which would have led to his death.”
“What exactly did my father get involved in back then?” Gu Qingxue quickly asked.
“That year, Beauty Yin was pregnant in the palace. Because His Majesty did not have a prince at the time, the imperial astronomer said that Beauty Yin’s child was a boy and would have great achievements in the future, so the entire palace attached great importance to it. His Majesty even specially ordered the chief of the imperial hospital, which is your father, to take care of Beauty Yin’s child.” Judge Wu fell into his memories. He looked into the distance and continued in a faint voice, ” in the end, he never thought that Beauty Yin’s child would take his life.
“Beauty Yin’s child died because he ate my father’s medicine?” Gu Qingxue asked.
“It’s not just the dragon fetus in Beauty Yin’s womb, even Beauty Yin died from excessive bleeding,” Judge Wu said in a serious tone.
Gu Qingxue’s gaze trembled slightly, and she quickly said, “That’s strange. Even if my father prescribed some medicine, it was just ordinary fetal protection medicine. Even if there was a problem with the dosage, the most it could do was to not protect the fetus. How could two lives be lost? ”
Fertility medicine was often used with warm and nourishing medicinal herbs. Even if these medicinal herbs were taken in large quantities at one time, there should not be such a bad outcome as one person and two lives.
When Judge Wu heard Gu Qingxue’s judgment, his eyes could not help but show some admiration. “It seems that you’re worthy of being your father’s daughter. You do have some skills. That’s right, I also felt that this was very strange back then, but I couldn’t find any evidence when the formula was stolen and even the medicinal drugs were destroyed. After what happened to Beauty Yin, the palace maid beside her said that Beauty Yin only taking the medicine your father prepared to protect the fetus.”
When Gu Qingxue heard this, she could almost imagine how helpless her innocent father must have been when he was slandered.
Gu Qingxue’s heart felt as if it was being clenched by an invisible hand. When she saw that Judge Wuhad only mentioned Gu Ye, her eyes were filled with regret. It was not difficult for her to guess what kind of gentle person her father was.
It was a pity that good people never had good endings. His father also ended up in a tragic end.
“That year, when His Majesty heard the news, he was furious. Coupled with the irrefutable evidence, he didn’t even give your father a chance to explain. He immediately ordered people to hit him with a hundred times.” As soon as Judge Wu said this, he painfully closed his eyes.
Gu Qingxue could not help but clench her fists.
A hundred strokes of the stick, what a cruel punishment.
Even in the military camp, if a soldier made a mistake, they would only be hit 20 or 30 times. It was enough to make the tough-skinned soldiers suffer for ten days to half a month.
Gu Ye was just a weak imperial physician. These one hundred strokes were enough to break his bones and blood, turning him into a bloody mess.
No wonder, no wonder when grandmother saw her father’s body, she immediately collapsed and fainted. No wonder no one suspected anything wrong even though she was poisoned and became more and more stupid..
