The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 218
"If Doctor Chen can go, I will be grateful. But I suspect that my mother's illness may not be a simple illness." Chen Shuyi said directly, "If Doctor Chen can't see any clues, I ask the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to intervene!"
Yue Lin looked very surprised, "You mean... do you suspect that your mother was harmed?"
Chen Shuyi gritted her teeth, "It's just a guess! There is no illness without reason in this world. I cannot bear to see my mother lying in bed all the time, so I ask the Emperor for permission. If Imperial Physician Chen returns without success, please thoroughly investigate the Chen Mansion to see whether it is man-made or fate!"
Yue Lin stared, "Chen Shuyi, you are also a well-read person. You should know that if there is no actual evidence, the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Court of Judicial Review cannot intervene rashly."
Of course, he was a tyrant.
Yue Lin's original plan was to intervene forcefully.
As for public opinion, he didn't care.
Now, Chen Shuyi's behavior surprised Yue Lin. His seemingly weak concubine seemed to have some ideas of her own.
Chen Shuyi gritted her teeth, and a trace of tenacity flashed in her eyes, "I understand. But there is such a rule in the Yong Dynasty. If someone has doubts but cannot report to the authorities without evidence, if they are determined, they can go to the gate of the government office and beat the drum to report to the authorities. I request to leave the palace and personally beat the drum to report to the authorities!"
Chen Shuyi said, and bowed her head heavily.
Jiang Zhimiao was shocked for a moment, and she subconsciously said, "Chen Shuyi! No! If you report to the authorities without a certificate, no matter what the results of the investigation are, you must first be punished with ten sticks!"
This was to prevent someone from abusing this rule.
The law of the country was above all else. If Chen Shuyi wanted to request a thorough investigation, she must be punished with these ten sticks.
Even if the yamen runners could be more lenient, they were unwilling to let go too much.
How could Chen Shuyi bear this with her body?
"Shuangyu, listen to the Empress. Your body can't bear it." An Zhaoyi looked at her nervously.
Concubine De's expression was complicated.
She used to look down on Chen Shuyi the most, always thinking that she looked weak on the surface, but was actually a bad person.
But now she couldn't help but admire her.
Chen Shuyi could obviously push everything to the Emperor and the Empress.
But she didn't. She was destined to receive these ten strokes just to give the Emperor a legitimate reason to investigate.
Chen Shuangyu, a wonderful woman!
Yue Lin was silent for a while, and said, "Chen Shuyi, you don't have to do this. If you really suspect that there is something else behind your mother's illness, I will order an investigation for you."
"Your Majesty, why do you intervene rashly? What is your reason? What is your position?" Chen Shuyi said slowly, "Although outsiders say that His Majesty is a tyrant, I know that His Majesty is a wise ruler and will be famous in the future. I can't let His Majesty be criticized for such a small matter. These ten sticks, I can bear it!"
Chen Shuyi knelt again, "Please agree, Your Majesty! Please agree, Empress!"
She knelt there, motionless, as if she would not get up as long as Yue Lin and Jiang Zhimiao did not agree.
"Shuangyu, you..." An Zhaoyi was anxious and wanted to say something else.
Concubine De stood up and said calmly, "His Majesty, Her Majesty, please help Chen Shuyi! Otherwise, she will have troubles for the rest of her life."
Concubine De knelt down as she spoke. Chen Shuyi looked at Concubine De and was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on her lips.
She really didn't expect that after being enemies for so long, Concubine De actually understood her.
"Please help, Your Majesty." The others looked at each other and knelt down.
"You... you..." An Zhaoyi showed an expression that was uglier than crying, and finally knelt down in front of Yue Lin and Jiang Zhimiao in self-abandonment, "Please help, Your Majesty."
Chen Shuangyu had made her choice.
As a sister, all she could do was support.
Jiang Zhimiao looked at the concubines kneeling down.
A sigh flashed through her heart.
[Since it is what Chen Shuyi wants, then... help her.]
Then, she was ready to kneel down in front of Yue Lin.
Yue Lin held her firmly.
Jiang Zhimiao showed a confused look.
Yue Lin held Jiang Zhimiao's hand and said calmly, "Get up. Chen Shuyi, I have agreed to your request. Today, I will let Doctor Chen go to Chen's house. If Doctor Chen can't find the disease, I will let you leave the palace tomorrow morning."
Chen Shuyi's eyes turned red, and she said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up at this time.
Concubine De looked at Chen Shuyi with a complicated expression and whispered, "You have guts. Our past grievances are written off."
Chen Shuyi smiled, she raised her head, with a hint of pride in her eyes, "Wu Qionglan, didn't you expect that the person you said was as weak as a chicken also had the courage and pride that was not inferior to you!"
"I really didn't expect it." Concubine De raised her eyebrows, "But! It's too early for you to beat me!"
There seemed to be gunpowder in the words between the two, and they both laughed as they talked.
Zuiyue didn't know what happened, she just came in to report, "My Lady, the snacks in the imperial garden are ready."
Jiang Zhimiao smiled, "Sisters, let's go and sit together."
She took the opportunity to glance at Yue Lin, "His Majesty is busy with affairs, so I won't stay specially."
[Sisters are gathering, it's too inconvenient to have a man.]
Yue Lin: "..."
Okay, okay.
Inconvenient, inconvenient again.
Although he didn't know where it was inconvenient.
However, the amount of information he received today was huge, and he did have a lot of things to deal with.
Yue Lin still got up and left.
After Yue Lin left, the atmosphere relaxed a little.
If it was before, the sisters would have started to chatter.
But now, thinking that Chen Shuyi was about to be beaten, the atmosphere was a little dull.
An Zhaoyi, who loved to talk the most, just had red eyes and couldn't say a word for a long time.
