Chapter 447 Hardliners?
Zhou Chang was also able to learn from Prince Yi's memory that after Concubine Lan died, everyone initially knew that it was because Concubine Lan was weak and seriously ill and did not take it seriously, but later on, they gradually heard a lot of rumors about Xu Wei.
First, Aunt Jing and Qiu Chang were whispering in private, and Skinny Monkey overheard it and told Feng Ming. After that, Feng Ming, at a young age, also took it to heart.
When Prince Yi came of age and left the palace, the first thing he did was to open a clinic. He hired Doctor Meng and then found a way to retrieve Concubine Lan's medical records from the Imperial Hospital and asked Doctor Meng to review them.
Doctor Meng concluded that the prescription was not suitable for the symptoms from the beginning. Later he tried to adjust the prescription but found that he did not have the ability to do so. The prescription he finally prescribed was even more irrelevant, especially the many precious medicinal materials added to it. It would be better if they were not taken. If they were taken, the patient would not be able to receive the tonic and would only hasten death.
If Xu Wei was just greedy for money but could cure the disease, Feng Ming would not care about it. However, Xu Wei not only wanted money, but also failed to cure the disease and even killed people. He deserved to be executed for his crime.
"Monkey, since Dean Xu doesn't admit it, then take him back and continue to treat him well." Feng Ming's eyes were cold. He originally had no objection to releasing Xu Wei, but now he changed his mind.
Zhou Chang became a spectator, but did not stop it.
Xu Weiyu was desperate and shouted: "I am an official appointed by the court, the head of the Imperial Hospital. Your Highness cannot treat me like this, you cannot..."
"No?" Feng Ming sneered, "The last person who said that was your predecessor."
"Ah..." Xu Wei took a deep breath and finally remembered Qin Shou. He had already been pulled up by the skinny monkey and dragged out.
If Xu Wei still weighed 150 or 160 kilograms seven days ago, now he probably weighs less than 100 kilograms and has no strength to resist.
He was dragged to the door, with nothing left but to pull at the threshold: "Prince Yi, Your Highness Prince Yi, what do you want to do? I will give you whatever you want. Please spare my life..."
Feng Ming was too lazy to take another look at him, and he lowered his chin to the skinny monkey: "Monkey, your methods are indeed not enough. After so many days, he still has the energy to yell and waste the food of the palace."
"It's my fault that I didn't do my job well." The skinny monkey gritted his teeth and stepped on Xu Wei's fingers, "Let go, let go..."
“Ah…” Xu Wei felt pain in his hands and loosened his grip all of a sudden, still shouting, “Help, help, Prince Yi is killing people…”
"Wait..." Feng Ming suddenly raised his hand to stop him. He didn't want to drag it on any longer, so he came up with an idea.
The skinny monkey stopped.
Xu Wei, however, showed some attitude of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" and took the opportunity to climb back and grab the door frame, refusing to let go: "I won't leave, you have to let me go, I am an official appointed by the court, a third-rank imperial physician of the court..."
The skinny monkey couldn't tolerate his bad habits and kicked him again.
"Monkey, don't step on his hand, it will be useful if you keep it." Feng Ming was only concerned about Xu Wei's fingers, "Drag him back and torture him. Make him write down all the dirty things he has done over the years."
"Yes, Your Highness, this is a good idea..." The skinny monkey loosened his feet and moved them to another place, stepping on Xu Wei's shoulders.
Xu Wei was lying on the ground, with difficulty raising his head, but he still managed to be stubborn: "What does Your Highness Prince Yi want me to explain? I am innocent, I did nothing."
Since Feng Ming had come up with this idea, he didn't want to pay any more attention to Xu Wei. He just said to Shou Hou: "Don't worry about time. Just take your time and see who can outlast the other. Just don't let him die. Make sure he writes something by hand, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." The skinny monkey became interested again and smiled with his big white teeth showing.
Feng Ming was still worried, and said to Xu Wei: "If you want to live or suffer less, write down all the dirty things you have done in the past. I will give you a chance. When the time comes, you will voluntarily resign from the position of the head of the Imperial Hospital and promise not to practice medicine for the rest of your life. Then I will let you go."
Xu Wei obviously could not accept such treatment and kept silent.
Haha, do these imperial doctors think that they are so strong that they pretend to be tough?
Feng Mingyi made up his mind and had no intention of letting him go from the beginning: "Monkey, if he continues to be stubborn, then we will deal with him after three days."
"Your Highness, do you agree..." The skinny monkey made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Xu Wei didn't see it, but his body trembled instinctively.
"Tell the public that Xu Wei, as the imperial physician, had fake medical skills. Not only did he fail to cure Aunt Jing's injuries for many days, but he caused more illnesses. He knew he was in the wrong, and he banged his head on the corner of the table to apologize and died." Feng Ming gave the verdict directly.
"You, you can't, you dare..." Xu Wei didn't understand and was about to fight back.
Feng Ming's eyes were filled with endless frost: "Why not? He is just another imperial physician. If His Majesty investigates, I can afford to explain myself."
"Ah, no..." Xu Wei's voice broke through the sky.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." At this time Gao Yuan came hurriedly from outside the courtyard with a serious face.
Zhou Chang instinctively felt that something was wrong again, and in a second he took back control of Prince Yi's body and waved to the skinny monkey.
The skinny monkey went over and covered Xu Wei's mouth with his hands, then dragged him out.
Gao Yuan brushed past him and came directly to Zhou Chang's side. He bowed his head and whispered, "Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."
"Oh?" Zhou Chang didn't expect Li Zhi to come so quickly. "Where is he? He came here blatantly in broad daylight?"
"He hired a carriage and came from the west corner gate. The guarding soldiers didn't know who the visitor was, so they informed their subordinates." Although Gao Yuan and Li Zhi had never spoken to each other, they had met each other and knew the relationship between the two.
Zhou Chang's eyes were still fixed on Shou Hou dragging Xu Wei to the courtyard gate. "Gao Yuan, replace Shou Hou and take Xu Wei back to guard the cell. Then have Shou Hou go and fetch Li Zhi in, and go directly to Aunt Jing's courtyard. The fewer people we see on the road, the better."
"Yes." Gao Yuan responded and quickly went out to exchange with the skinny monkey.
Xu Wei could hear the sound of ghosts howling. Gao Yuan pulled a handful of hair from behind. I don't know what force he used, but Xu Wei immediately couldn't make any sound.
After hearing Gao Yuan's retelling, the skinny monkey did not come back and went straight west.
Zhou Chang waited until the sound of Xu Wei being dragged away completely disappeared before he stood up and went towards Aunt Jing's yard.
When she arrived at Aunt Dejing's yard, Li Zhi had already been invited by Skinny Monkey.
In recent days, as Aunt Jing's health has gradually improved, the number of people in her yard has begun to decrease.
When the elderly people in the palace had time, they took turns to look after Aunt Jing. Today, only Zhong Yu was left in the yard, and he was greeting Li Zhi.
Li Zhi wore a veil hat on his head and a gray cloak on his body, covering his entire body tightly. Only by looking closely at the collar could one guess that he was wearing an official uniform underneath, which looked extremely out of place in the hot summer day.
