Chapter 174 I don’t know what to call it, so let’s just treat it as a sexy chapter without a title
A strong aphrodisiac?
A strong aphrodisiac that can also cause coma?
Zhao Huai was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Gu Jingzhi. This meant that this guy was indeed with Chen Yu that night...
"It's full of nonsense!"
Before anyone could react, Chen Yu shouted, "This so-called chalcedony combined with spices can become a potent aphrodisiac... I've never heard of it before. How dare you..."
"Are you doubting me?"
Doctor Huang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He cursed, "I have practiced medicine all my life and saved countless lives. I have read more medical books than you have taken medicine. How dare you insult my medical skills?"
Everyone: "..."
Damn, this old doctor...why does he look a little cute?
He glared at me and said, "Sir, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my colleagues from the Imperial Hospital for questioning. Also, there are records about this chalcedony in the Imperial Hospital's books, and I've brought them with me!"
As he spoke, he took out an ancient book from his arms, turned to a certain page and handed it to Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai and other officials from the Ministry of Justice leaned over.
Doctor Huang said with some distress: "My Lords, please be gentle. This is a rare ancient book. Don't damage it..."
"..."
Everyone's mouth twitched again.
After seeing the records in the ancient books, an official shouted, "I found it! It's recorded! I didn't expect such a mysterious thing to happen!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"..."
After Zhao Huai read the records in the ancient book, he returned the medical skills to Doctor Huang. Then his face darkened and he scolded, "Chen Yu, what else do you have to say?"
"me……"
Chen Yu seemed a little passive, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Even if this is true, I have never heard of the spices mentioned. My Chen family doesn't have such spices either. How can I explain it?"
"Yup!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they had never heard of the spice recorded in the ancient books.
Doctor Huang said, "This spice is only found in the Western Regions and is extremely rare. The petals and pollen from these raw materials can only survive for the duration of an incense stick once they bloom. If they are not preserved using special methods, their fragrance and efficacy will be lost!"
"Haha! Western Regions..."
Chen Yu laughed and said, "Since it's only found in the Western Regions, then it has nothing to do with my Chen family!"
"Ah!"
"Is Young Patriarch Chen's brain damaged?"
Gu Jingzhi said sarcastically, "Although this item is extremely rare, it shouldn't be a difficult thing for your Chen family, right?"
"You're talking nonsense, I'm not, I didn't!"
"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste everyone's time here with you, Master Zhao..."
Gu Jingzhi said to Zhao Huai: "I have another witness!"
Are there any witnesses?
Zhao Huai was stunned. It seemed that Gu Jingzhi was well prepared today. He was going to force the Chen family to death!
Without thinking, he said, "Spread it!"
Soon, another witness came to the court, a very beautiful woman...
"I am Linglong, a dancer from the Imperial Music Bureau. I am honored to meet you all!"
"What? The Jiaofangsi?"
Chen Yu said disdainfully, "A lowly woman is worthy of testifying in court?"
"Why, are lowly people not human beings?"
Gu Jingzhi asked, "Even His Majesty has never said that lowly people cannot serve as witnesses. Is your Chen family more powerful than His Majesty?"
"I, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Yu roared.
Zhao Huai slammed the table and said, "Chen Yu, if you dare to disrupt the court again, I will give you a beating no matter what I say!"
"..."
Chen Yu immediately shrank to the side.
Zhao Huai then turned around and said, "Tell me, what testimony do you want to give?"
"Your Excellency, this is the sachet that the Chen family gave me when I went to perform at the Chen family's house. They asked me to wear it at the banquet!"
As she spoke, she raised her hands.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Huang excitedly said, "Yes, that's it, that's it..."
When Zhao Huai saw the excited expression on Doctor Huang's face, he immediately knew that this was true. Now that the truth of the case was revealed, there was solid evidence that the Chen family was plotting against Gu Jingzhi.
As for what happened after Gu Jingzhong took the aphrodisiac, Zhao Huai was not interested and didn't want to mention it.
After all, it concerns a woman's reputation.
Thinking of that strong-willed woman...
I'm afraid he was persuaded by that kid?
The case is not complicated, but it is quite exciting with several twists and turns inside.
The most commendable thing is that Gu Jingzhi seemed to have taken all of this into account long ago, but what he had not expected was that the final resort would be a strong aphrodisiac.
Zhao Huai slammed the gavel and said, "Chen Yu, your Chen family is plotting to frame an official of the imperial court. The facts of this case are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"
"Master Zhao, I refuse to accept!"
Chen Yu was still struggling and said, "My Chen family is hosting a banquet for dozens of guests, why is it that only Lord Gu has something wrong?"
"Then I guess only my seat is made of chalcedony, right?"
Gu Jingzhi said in a deep voice, "Do you remember when I first went to your house for a banquet? You, Chen Yu, arranged my seat near the main door in order to humiliate me. I drank the wine at that table, but it was just an ordinary drink in the capital!"
"After your Chen family leader changed my seat, the wine turned into chalcedony!"
"Humph!"
Gu Jingzhi snorted coldly and said, "Even if I'm drunk, my carriage is right outside the door. Why should I stay at the Chen family?"
"I……"
Chen Yu wanted to say more.
Zhao Huai interrupted directly, "Alright, the case has been solved. I will report this to His Majesty. Chen Yu..."
"From now on, your Chen family is not allowed to leave the capital until His Majesty issues an order..."
"The imperial edict arrives..."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
The conclusion has just been reached, and the next imperial decree has arrived?
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi and others stood up to receive the order.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Chen Ru and Chen Yu of the Chen clan of Kyoto…have disregarded His Majesty’s grace… @￥% (The contents of the imperial edict are not included in the original text)"
An imperial edict was read for a long time.
It was nothing more than that the Chen family had betrayed the emperor's kindness, plotted to frame the court officials, obstructed the court's national policy, deprived Chen Ru and Chen Yu of all honors and favors, took away their official positions, and imprisoned them in the palace.
In addition, the matter of Chen Yu's sister and brother was specifically mentioned.
Instead, he met Gu Jingzhi's request and allowed Chen Yu to take his brother out of the house and set up a new account, which was exactly like what Gu Jingzhi did at the beginning.
The imperial edict was issued, and the matter was settled.
Gu Jingzhi came to a side room of the Ministry of Justice with ease. Chen Yu had already woken up by now. When she saw Gu Jingzhi coming, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
"Don't worry! Everything is fine now. His Majesty has personally issued an order, allowing you to leave the palace with your brother and open a new account. Then the Chen family will no longer be able to control you!"
“Woo, woo, woo…”
Chen Yu's nose twitched at first, but finally he couldn't help sobbing.
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi sighed slightly and held her in his arms...
