Chapter 190: Stroke
Mrs. Zhenxihou was so ruthless that she drugged Zhenxihou, causing him to become a stroke, and she didn't know if it would endanger his life. Zhao Mo felt that her decisiveness was terrifying, but Qin Bai felt that it was normal.
"Although Zhenxihou suffered a stroke, he will inevitably suffer a lot, and may even be delirious, or difficult to move, but in the end he saved his life. Qin Bai felt that this was Mrs. Zhenxihou's deep affection for her husband.
Qin Hanzhen looked at his grandfather and asked him in a low voice: "If the emperor knows, will he really let Zhenxi Hou escape?"
Qin Bai thought for a while: "If he can no longer do things that are harmful to the court and the country, and he can't even meet outsiders, the emperor will probably not be embarrassed by a stroke patient." After all, the most important thing at the moment is not to take the life of Zhenxi Hou, but to stabilize Shu and the southwest army. When the Hou Shizi of Zhenxi goes to Shu to do all the things that need to be done, it will be the same to give people to death again. It is indeed easier to win the trust of people by doing this, and it is also a grace to the Su brothers. ”
What does this mean...... Tell them to work well for the emperor, and the emperor will let their father live for two more years?
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xiangnian returned from the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and brought the exact news.
Whether it's true or not, Zhenxihou is now indeed showing some typical stroke symptoms. He was paralyzed in bed, his limbs could not move, he could not speak, he could only open his eyes and close his eyes and stare again, he couldn't even control his facial expressions, and the corners of his mouth were drooling from time to time. He probably never expected that he would have such symptoms, as if he could not accept the reality, he was very excited, and kept struggling in bed, trying to prove that he could still move. But in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, he is constantly moving weakly, unwilling to make himself better.
Mrs. Zhenxihou had already cried into tears, and her appearance, which had been strong for more than ten or twenty years, collapsed, hugging Zhenxihou and crying bitterly, no one persuaded her to let her go away. However, Zhenxihou showed hatred and anger on his face, and roared desperately in his mouth, so that he could let out a slightly weak roar, expressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He stared at his wife with wide eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but Mrs. Zhenxihou only knew to hold him and cry, and did not notice his expression at all, which seemed to make him even angrier.
Later, it was the son Su Boxiong who persuaded his mother to go to the next room to rest, and also let his father rest and rest, so he persuaded Mrs. Zhenxihou to leave. But at this time, Zhenxihou was so tired that he couldn't even roar, and his eyes couldn't open anymore. Su Boxiong asked the imperial doctor to give Zhenxi Hou an injection, and prescribed some sedative decoction to make him fall asleep. That's the kind of stopping.
After Su Zhongying and his wife returned home, they quickly assisted their brother and sister-in-law to stabilize the overall situation. Mrs. Zhenxi Hou is old, and she has been hit again, and her body is a little weak, and she needs to recuperate. She herself was unwilling to leave her husband's side, and insisted on serving the sick herself, but her children could not resist her, so she could only let her go. Zhenxi Hou Shizi's wife Bian and Qin Youyi worked together to appease everyone in the family, and sent the four frightened children back to their yards, and then the former took over the feed, and the latter hurried before leaving Beijing, handed over all the affairs that needed to be handed over, and then rearranged their bags, and some luggage that was originally planned to be sent to Datong in the future should also be added at this time, so as not to cause trouble to the brother and sister-in-law after leaving Beijing.
Su Boxiong went to the city guard to take a long vacation, and no one would embarrass him if there was such an accident in his family. Su Zhongying's transfer order had already been issued, and Su Boxiong personally went to the military department to explain that the military department could also understand and allow Su Zhongying to postpone his departure for two days, but would not change the appointment. General Ma on the Datong side has already taken his subordinates on the way to Beijing, and the person who replaced him is already in Datong, but the vacant seats of his subordinates still need to be replenished. It is impossible for an important border town to leave an important military position vacant for too long, as long as Su Zhongying's situation still allows, he must take office on time.
Somehow, it seems that everyone has forgotten about the option of being replaced.
Although the current situation in Zhenxi Hou Mansion is a little chaotic, it has finally barely settled down. The emperor also sent his henchmen and chamberlains to treat the Marquis of Zhenxi, and came to the conclusion that the old illness was serious, and he was unable to recuperate, and his emotional agitation led to a stroke, which was similar to the previous diagnosis of the imperial doctor. Zhenxihou's physical condition was clear to the entire Tai Hospital, and the Su family was also clear, and no one felt suspicious. But it was this emotional incident that led to a stroke...... It's a bit confusing.
According to the people of Zhenxihou Mansion, Zhenxihou did get angry the day before yesterday and yesterday, but he was not very angry, that is, ...... It's just the degree of daily anger. He has been grumpy since he returned to Beijing, and no one thinks anything unusual about his tantrum in the past two days. Yesterday during the day was even much calmer than usual, but he didn't like to see people, except for Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and one of his henchmen, everyone was kicked out of the house by him, and he was not allowed to enter the door for half a step. Mrs. Zhenxi Hou was sent by him to Yongjiahou Mansion, and after returning home, the couple talked for a while, but they didn't see any quarrels. As for the henchman, he was sent out to do things all day yesterday, and it was not clear what he was doing, but now he has asked the prince Su Boxiong to take care of him, and no one is allowed to contact him, saying that he suspects that he has reported some important news at night, which has caused Zhenxi Hou's temper attack and caused a stroke.
The subordinates of Zhenxihou's Mansion had a lot of discussions in private, speculating about what caused Zhenxihou's stroke.
Zhenxihou just ate with his wife normally yesterday, and the dishes he ate were still the dishes he liked in his early years, which were cooked by Mrs. Zhenxihou herself. Because it was very appetizing, Zhenxihou also ate half a bowl of rice, and praised her craftsmanship to his wife during the period, and the girls who waited for their husband and wife to eat heard it.
After dinner, the confidant came back with him, and the Marquis of Zhenxi met him alone in the outer courtyard, and no one knew what the master and servant said. Later, the prince Su Boxiong returned to his house, and the chief returned to his house to rest, and the father and son of Zhenxihou talked for a while, and the prince went back to his yard, and then Zhenxihou also returned to his residence by himself. The servants waiting in the front yard did not hear the quarrel between their father and son, which shows that the conversation between the two was very peaceful.
Zhenxihou did not go back to his bedroom to rest with his wife at night, but was alone in his small study. The girl on duty in the middle of the night heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering, and rushed to see what was going on, and found that Zhenxihou fell to the table, his whole body was unable to move, foaming at the mouth, and there were tea set fragments on the ground next to him.
There is no solution. The girls confirmed that Mrs. Zhenxihou and her husband did not quarrel, and the people in the front yard confirmed the innocence of Su Boxiong, the son of Zhenxi Hou. Now it seems that only Changsui can still be touched a little. However, after Zhenxi Hou saw this long, there was nothing unusual, and the matter became a mystery.
It's a pity that Su Boxiong, the prince of the world, immediately locked up the long entourage and didn't let anyone see him, and he didn't even have any clues, so he just waited for Zhenxihou's situation to stabilize and then interrogate him in detail, and others didn't have to guess.
After learning about these situations, Zhou Xiangnian immediately returned to Yongjiahou Mansion to report. Qin Zhonghai is still staying in the Zhenxi Hou Mansion to assist his sister and brother-in-law in suppressing the overall situation, and it is estimated that he will be busy for a day.
Qin Bai asked Zhou Xiangnian: "Now that the Zhenxi Hou Mansion has stabilized, and the prince and Aunt Su have also calmed down the overall situation, what is the second master still doing over there?"
Zhou Xiangnian looked at Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen who were standing on the side, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the prince of Zhenxi Hou heard something important from that long place, and he is summoning the personal entourage brought back by Zhenxi Hou from the southwest, and he wants to interrogate him strictly." Those people have been following the Marquis of Zhenxi for a long time, and they have quite a face in the mansion, and there are also people with military positions, which are not easy to press. The second master helped Aunt Su to see where he could help. ”
Qin Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded to indicate that he knew, and let Zhou Xiangnian go down.
As soon as Zhou Xiangnian left, Qin Hanzhen immediately rushed to the door of the study, closed the door, and then looked back at his grandfather and Zhao Mo.
Zhao Mo guessed: "This is Su Shizi's eradication of Zhenxihou's cronies, right? In the name of investigating the cause of Zhenxihou's stroke, he did this justifiably. "Those people estimate that there are only two ways to go, either surrender to the prince Su Boxiong, or die on the charge of causing the master to have a stroke.
Qin Hanzhen took a deep breath: "What kind of method did Mrs. Zhenxihou use to make Zhenxihou have symptoms that look like a stroke? ”
Qin Bai and Zhao Mo glanced at Qin Hanzhen together, then looked at each other again, and neither spoke.
The imperial physician and the imperial physician may not be unable to see the real cause of Zhenxihou's "stroke," but who will say it? The emperor seems to be quite happy to hear the news of Zhenxihou's stroke, but how to announce the cause of this stroke to the outside world has to be reconsidered.
Zhenxihou's current condition, even if it is a fake stroke, it must be regarded as a real stroke. It seems that his mind is still sober, and it is estimated that he even knows who did it to him, but no matter how angry he is, no matter how unwilling he is, it is useless. His wife and son all worked together to suppress him, and now he didn't even have a helper by his side, and he couldn't move, and it was very likely that he would have to be poured medicine day and night, maintaining a state of "sleeping and recuperating", unable to hurt anyone anymore, and unable to threaten anyone anymore.
Of course, he also saved his life because of this. The emperor has already issued an order to order the Taiyi Haosheng to heal Zhenxihou. In order to ensure that Su Boxiong, the prince of Zhenxi Hou, can go to Shu to carry out his mission unhindered, Zhenxi Hou's condition must be maintained in a stable state, and even if the two sons are not around, it will not cause any criticism. It can be seen that the emperor has acquiesced in his temporary life.
But...... Living in such a weak and helpless state is no different from real paralysis, and for people like Zhenxihou, it is difficult to say whether this way of living is better than death. If he is a person who can endure this kind of life, he will not be covered with old wounds, and he will not be honest to recuperate, and he will cling to military power, and he will have to rely on careerists in an attempt to make trouble in the court. Now he really wants to die and can't die by himself, which is quite sympathetic to think about. But this is also a sin of his own making, the death penalty can be avoided, the living sin is inescapable, and he can only endure it anymore.
In the evening, Qin Zhonghai returned home from Zhenxi Hou Mansion and also brought the latest news.
Zhenxihou's confidant committed suicide in fear of crime in the detention room.
