?
Mo Rongzhan looked down at Ye Yaoyao, who was crawling on the ground, thinking about how much of her words could be trusted.
"If your father is not County Magistrate Ye, then who is?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice. In the past, he had suspected Ye Yaoyao's identity, but he had never been able to find out the truth. Previously, no matter what method Doctor Qi used, he couldn't make her recover her memory. But not long after, she already recovered her memory?
Ye Yaoyao coldly looked at Mo Rongzhan, "Your Majesty, your concubine's real name is Ye Yao 'er, the daughter of Jiangnan's Chief Minister Ye Rongquan. Eight years ago, Jiangnan's salt merchants colluded with pirates. When my father was investigating this matter, he was slandered for corruption and the imperial court's inspector went to investigate my father's corruption case. However, before the case was opened, my father was assassinated and the case was left unresolved. The inspector convicted my father of the crime of committing suicide out of fear of punishment and exiled my Ye family. I was sent to the wilderness when I was nine years old. It was only five years ago that I was brought to the capital by Lu Shide. I don't know what method he used to make me lose my memory. Your Majesty, my father was not corrupt, it was because he had evidence of collusion between salt merchants and pirates that he was framed.
"Your father is Ye Rongquan?" Surprise flashed through Mo Rongzhan's eyes. He knew about Ye Rongquan's matter. Back then, the inspector-general that the previous emperor had sent to Jiangnan was Lin Maoping. Lin Maoping and Ye Yisong had always been enemies. When he was sent to Jiangnan, there were a few days of fierce arguments in court. At that time, the previous emperor was not completely muddle-headed and did not listen to Ye Yisong and sent Lin Maoping to Jiangnan.
Because Lin Maoping was famous for being a strict and upright official, no one suspected anything unusual about the Jiangnan corruption case.
Mo Rongzhan was the only one who knew that there was something fishy about this matter because Lin Maoping had looked for him before he died.
Ye Yaoyao lowered her head and said, "Replying to your majesty, my father is really Ye Rongquan. It's just that this concubine lost her memory before, so I didn't remember what happened in the past."
"It's been so long. You were so young back then. How did you know that your father was framed?"
"Before my father died, he wrote down all the truth in a book. I didn't understand it at the time, so I hid the book." Ye Yaoyao said, "At that time, the largest salt merchant in Jiangnan colluded with pirates. Those officials secretly protected them and used the pirates to smuggle official salt to sell to other places. Your Majesty, my father was framed because he didn't want to go along with them. Your Majesty, please help this concubine's father."
Mo Rongzhan didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still bring up this case. Ever since he ascended to the throne, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about overturning the case, but the people involved in the case were all dead.
Ye Rongquan's family died on the way to exile, and Lin Maoping committed suicide not long after returning to Kyoto. The big salt merchant who was suspected of colluding with the pirates later disappeared because of a fire. Even if they wanted to reverse the case, they couldn't find any evidence.
Ye Yaoyao was actually Ye Rongquan's daughter!
It was no wonder that he had sent people to investigate her background but failed. Who would have thought that she was a dead person?
"How did you recover your memory?" Mo Rongzhan asked quietly.
"I … don't know, I suddenly remembered." Ye Yaoyao's face was a bit pale, as if she didn't understand.
Mo Rongzhan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at her. She couldn't be lying. Now, almost no one mentioned Ye Rongquan, and even fewer people knew that he was wronged. Ye Yaoyao didn't have any connections in the palace, so it was impossible for others to tell her about this.
However, he would still investigate clearly.
As for how she recovered her memory, he would also investigate clearly.
"You said that Ye Rongquan gave you a book with the truth written on it. Where did you put it?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Yaoyao said, "Replying to Your Majesty, because I was afraid that I would be discovered on the way to the Wasteland, I … hid the book in my father's coffin."
Mo Rongzhan's gaze darkened as he looked at her. If Ye Yaoyao wasn't Ye Rongquan's daughter, who else would know such a secret?
"I will send someone to see it. If it is true, I will send someone to Jiangnan to re-investigate the case." Mo Rongzhan said faintly. He wanted to reverse the case a long time ago, not for Ye Rongquan, but for what Lin Maoping once told him, about the whereabouts of a large amount of money that the salt merchants and officials in Jiangnan had embezzled.
Ye Yaoyao kowtowed gratefully. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Go back!" Mo Rongzhan said lightly. He didn't even go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. He turned back to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful and asked Eunuch Fu to summon Tang Zhen to the palace.
…
…
Dongqing State, Qian Long Palace.
Although he had woken up, Ye Zhen felt that it was not suitable for him to go to court. He would easily faint. If he fainted in front of the ministers, even if Ye Yiqing tried his best to hide it, he wouldn't be able to hide the truth of the emperor's serious illness.
However, Ye Yiqing was very satisfied that Li Hang could wake up so quickly. At least it proved that Ye Zhen's treatment method was right.
While Ye Yiqing was talking to Li Hang, Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen were discussing the treatment plan.
"This is the medical case I saw in the handbook. It is more detailed than what you saw before." Huang Fuchen said.
Ye Zhen glanced at the medical case. "It turns out that Empress Duan Hui has treated such an illness, but … the symptoms seem to be a little different. The emperor's illness is much more serious."
Huang Fuchen said, "It is mentioned in the medical case that there are benign and malignant diseases. The emperor's illness should be malignant, and the great grandmother's treatment should be benign, so he can be cured."
"It seems that the treatment method is different." Ye Zhen lowered her voice. "It is said that the malignant disease cannot be cured. We can only try to reduce the patient's pain."
"Let's treat Li Hang according to the method of malignant disease." Huang Fuchen said, "There is a medicine missing here. I may have to go back to Ox Village."
Ye Zhen looked up in surprise. "Master, what medicine must we go back to Ox Village to get?"
"There are some medicines here … that are impossible to find outside. Some are the secret prescriptions left by the great grandmother, which will never be leaked out." Huang Fuchen said. For so many years, those prescriptions have never been leaked out of Ox Village.
"Then … what about Li Hang?" Ye Zhen asked.
Huang Fuchen said with a smile, "You are here, aren't you? Yao Yao, your medical skills are better than you know. Don't lose confidence. I suspect that even without me, you can cure Li Hang's illness. "
How is that possible! Her treatment methods were all learned from medical books. Even Qi Yanling felt that the disease was incurable. If she did not have the holy spring water, she would also be incurable.
"Master, when can you come back?" Ye Zhen asked.
Huang Fuchen thought for a moment. "I will try to come back within a month."
