Chapter 257 The cruel truth

He really couldn't understand why Doctor Hu still couldn't see the situation clearly and actually thought he was innocent. How did such a confused person get into the Imperial Hospital?

"Doctor Hu firmly believed that this was the truth and gave many strange examples.

For example, at the beginning, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were treating Prince Chenghu, but later they stopped consulting and left the prince's health to him alone, while he had no support and his foundation was shallow.

For example, the Queen Mother had said in person that he was implicated and would plead for him. Therefore, the Queen Mother could prove that he was indeed innocent. "

Upon hearing the above, Kangxi almost laughed out of anger. When Chenghu first fell ill, it alarmed the court and the harem, and everyone was on high alert, so they asked the Imperial Hospital to consult and consider a prescription.

But in fact, this is not a good idea. After all, each imperial physician has his own style of using medicine. It would be too time-consuming for them to prescribe the same medicine together. Chenghu's illness was actually just fatigue and a cold. There was no need to make such a fuss about it.

However, Kangxi did not expect that in the eyes of Imperial Doctor Hu, this was actually to prevent everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau from being involved in a conspiracy that did not exist at all.

And he, the pediatric expert who was specially left to treat Chenghu, turned out to be a scapegoat and cannon fodder because he had no backing.

But after hearing Liang Jiugong's next words, Kangxi realized something was wrong. "The Queen said in person that he is innocent. Will she plead for him?"

"Yes." Liang Jiugong complained in his heart, this Imperial Doctor Hu is really stupid. No wonder he is an expert in pediatric diseases, which should be a very popular position in the palace, but he can't even get a position in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Regardless of whether Doctor Hu really did his best and made no mistakes, the fact is that Prince Chenghu is dead. The royal family will not care about it and will only vent their anger on them, not to mention Prince Chenghu's mother, the Empress Dowager.

In this way, Doctor Hu really thought that the queen was a good person? Little did he know that this person was the one who betrayed him.

"Without the order of His Majesty, I dare not say anything bad about the Empress, so I followed his words and asked him to tell me everything he knew. Only in this way can I clear his name."

"He did?"

"Yes, Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu is a bit naive and believes what I say."

Kangxi did not comment on this. Before choosing the imperial physician to treat Chenghu, he naturally checked all the doctors. It was because he knew that Imperial Physician Hu never formed a clique and was innocent enough that he finally chose him.

But now it seems that this is not naive at all, it is clearly stupid.

"But I didn't find anything suspicious. However, Doctor Hu said there was one more thing. He promised the Empress that he wouldn't tell her because it concerns the reputation of Prince Chenghu. So he could only tell His Majesty."

"He wants to see me?" Kangxi suddenly felt that Doctor Hu was not as stupid as he had found out. Wasn't he quite cunning? He even took the opportunity to see him.

I just don't know whether he did it to save himself or for some other purpose.

"Does His Majesty want to see him?"

"Meet her! Of course I must." How could Kangxi stop investigating after all this? He wanted to know how his son Chenghu died, and how vicious the queen could be.

He was staggering, his gray hair was disheveled, and his clothes were still oozing blood.

This was the doctor Hu that Kangxi met. No, it was the criminal Hu. He was completely different from the serious and rigid figure in Kangxi's memory.

But in fact, before meeting the emperor, in order to avoid disrespect, he had tried his best to clean up.

If Yuan Xu was here and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he would definitely feel fear and sadness. This is why imperial power is supreme and human life is worthless.

"You want to see me?"

"Yes. This concerns Prince Chenghu's reputation, so I can only speak to His Majesty." Doctor Hu's voice was weak but still sonorous and powerful.

Kangxi's mouth curled up. He didn't understand why the man in front of him was so fearless even though he was about to die. Could it be that he was still hoping that the queen, who was in danger herself, would save him?

"Liang Jiugong stays, everyone else go out."

Looking at Liang Jiugong in the hall, Doctor Hu was hesitant to speak. He didn't expect that even though he had said so, why did the Emperor still let Liang Jiugong stay? And it seemed that even if he spoke again, the Emperor would not change his mind.

So, why didn't he tell Liang Jiugong right from the beginning why he had to go through so much trouble and waste his time?

Thinking of this, Doctor Hu's expression became even more numb.

"When I last treated Prince Chenghu, I found that he was unable to absorb the medicine, causing his condition to worsen and he was almost in a coma. Even if I managed to save him, his body would be ruined.

Prince Chenghu's situation is different from that of Prince Chengrui. Prince Chengrui's residual poison is difficult to clear, and the remaining toxins will continue to destroy his body, causing his physical weakness. But Prince Chenghu's vitality was directly damaged, with phlegm and dampness blocking and kidney yang deficiency. "

Hearing this, Kangxi's eyelids twitched, and he looked straight at Doctor Hu below. After seeing the other party's confidence, at that moment, Kangxi's gaze seemed to be burned and he quickly withdrew it.

Kangxi himself had studied medicine, so he naturally knew what Doctor Hu meant. He was saying that even if Chenghu was rescued, it would be difficult for him to have children in the future.

You know, even Chengrui, who was poisoned, was not diagnosed with such a result, which shows how bad Chenghu's condition is. Of course, it is also possible that the imperial doctors did not think that Prince Chengrui could grow up safely, so they did not tell the matter, making the masters feel worse.

Therefore, this was the real cause of Chenghu's death. Kangxi now finally understood why the queen was so decisive and cruel.

What Nara said was right. In the eyes of the queen, Chenghu was just a tool. The queen didn't care about her own child at all. Chenghu, who was bedridden, who had difficulty in having children, who could not bring any benefits, was just a useless chess piece.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Queen, such a useless chess piece can save her life before leaving the game, which can be regarded as her final value.

Kangxi swept all the objects on the table to the ground, his eyes red, and he wanted to rush to Kunning Palace to kill people immediately. This result was more hateful than the Queen using Chenghu to overthrow Nara.

Because the latter only indirectly contributed to Chenghu's death, it was just an accident, and the queen still had a little tenderness towards Chenghu, but if it was the former, it meant that it was the queen's subjective will, and she just wanted Chenghu to die.

"Beasts!"

Liang Jiugong, who was sweating coldly as he listened, just wished he was deaf at the moment. Tell me, what did the Emperor do just now to want to keep him here? He really couldn't afford the trust he had at this time.

But even so, there are still those who can't read the expression and talk nonsense, "The Queen doesn't want to have a tarnished reputation after the death of Prince Chenghu, so she asked the guilty minister to keep this matter secret.

Originally, I had no intention of telling the truth, but since His Majesty sent Eunuch Liang to investigate the cause of Prince Chenghu's death, I don't know if this matter is related to the real murderer behind the scenes. After thinking it over, I decided to tell the truth. "

Doctor Hu had a good idea. The reason why the Queen didn't want others to know was for the prince's reputation. But the Emperor was not someone else, and he would not spread the matter and bring shame to Prince Chenghu.

What's more, the things in the palace are closely linked. What if it is this incident, what if it is this detail, that allows His Majesty to find clues and identify the real murderer who killed Prince Chenghu, then wouldn't his innocence be proved?

Prince Chenghu's death had nothing to do with him. His diagnosis and medication were correct.

Liang Jiugong looked as pale as death, and he just wanted to rush up and shut Doctor Hu's mouth.

Kangxi looked at Doctor Hu dimly, but the words he uttered were particularly cold, "The Grand Empress Dowager has found out that the Queen used Chenghu as a pretext to torture herself, and secretly reduced Chenghu's medicine by half, so the effect is naturally insufficient.

However, I am curious about whether Doctor Hu, a pediatric expert who diagnoses Cheng Hu's pulse every day, is really unaware of this matter?"

Doctor Hu's face turned pale instantly. He had always thought that he was innocent, but after hearing what the Emperor said, he knew clearly that he had been deceived by the Queen.
