When Yin Heng arrived in the capital of Shuguo, Xiao Hong was struggling to get out of bed, his face full of exhaustion, haggardness and weakness.

He thought that his physical condition would improve after resting for a few days, but he didn't expect that the more he rested, the more tired he became, and today it became difficult to even get up.

Am I going to die? It was a strong feeling that had suddenly surged him this morning, and it made him inexplicably panicked and helpless.

Even as the head of a country, he is powerless in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Therefore, he eagerly awaited the arrival of Yin Heng, the alchemist of the Zhao Kingdom.

Knowing that Yin Heng had arrived outside the palace gate, he immediately lifted the quilt and struggled to get up, and said to Gonggong Zhang: "Help me get out of bed, I will personally go to meet Pharmacist Yin." ”

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, he is only an alchemist, and he has not made great contributions to the country, I am afraid that it is not in line with your identity for you to greet him in person, right?"

Xiao Hong glared at him and said: "In front of life, everyone is equal, how can you be so divided? Besides, if I want to move now, there is nothing wrong with going to meet him by the way." ”

Zhang Gonggong thought to himself: He also said that he wanted to walk around, but now he has to be helped to walk.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was not good at disobeying on the surface, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." ”

So saying, he came up to help him, and went out of the house step by step.

Over there, Yin Heng was already walking briskly here under the guidance of a father-in-law and an official.

Yin Heng, who was dressed in a simple formal suit, didn't expect Xiao Hong to come to greet him in person, and he was a little overwhelmed and a little annoyed while being flattered. Intellectually, he didn't want to be treated beyond his own achievements, because it would make him feel uneasy, but since people really came out to greet him, even if it was just formal, he had to return the same attention, so he hurriedly bowed to Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong personally helped Yin Heng up, looking at Yin Heng as happy as a savior, and said, "I'm really happy that Pharmacist Yin can come." ”

Yin Heng looked at Xiao Hong boldly, and found that Xiao Hong's face was pale, his eyes were sluggish, and his spirit was sluggish, so he knew that his physical condition was not optimistic, and his professional habits made him can't help but reach out to check Xiao Hong's pulse, and he was even more surprised under this handful - Xiao Hong's pulse was very weak and chaotic.

"Your Majesty, do you often feel flustered and powerless?" Yin Heng asked.

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "I started to feel this way about ten days ago, and now this feeling is becoming more and more obvious." I searched for famous doctors in the capital, and there was no improvement. Then he said very depressedly: "I have always been healthy, but I didn't expect this to happen suddenly." Pharmacist Yin, you have a lot of experience, what do you think is wrong with me?"

Yin Heng hurriedly replied: "It's not easy for Weichen to make a decision for the time being, so let's give you a good check first." ”

"Okay, okay. Xiao Hong nodded and led Yin Heng to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, the best tea and snacks had been prepared in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the Empress Liu and Xiao Diyuan, the King of Guangxian, were also waiting inside.

Yin Heng heard about the prince Xiao Dikai being confined to the prince's mansion before entering the palace, so he didn't ask about it.

After sitting down, Yin Heng began to cut Xiao Hong's pulse.

Xiao Hong lay on the couch, stretched out a hand to Yin Heng, leaned on his back, only to feel a little strained to breathe, and there was a feeling in his mind as if he was going to die in the next second.

What was going on? If it was because of hard work, hadn't he had come over like this for so many years? Why didn't he do anything at all in those years?

Moreover, to be honest, he doesn't work so hard every day, after all, the country doesn't have big things happening every day, so he also has a lot of free days in the peaceful season of his home and country.

The combination of these reasons made him more and more suspicious of his illness, which was one of the reasons why he invited Yin Heng to come to Shuguo.

At this time, Xiao Dikai, who was confined to the prince's mansion, was a little uneasy, and since he got up in the morning, he kept asking people whether Yin Heng had arrived in Shuguo. After finally learning the news that Yin Heng had arrived, he got up from his chair and looked out the window with his back to the person.

He was flustered now, always worried that something would happen, but the prince's mansion was full of emperors' people inside and out, and he couldn't act rashly.

Crown Princess Zhang Chenhui came in, stood not far behind him and looked at him and said with relief: "The pharmacist is here, and it has no direct relationship with you, don't think too much." ”

Xiao Di smiled and didn't speak.

Bing Xue's smart Zhang Chenhui thought of something, took a few steps forward and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "It's good that the dream is shattered, at least it makes you understand that this dream is not what you can have now." Besides, having said that, if you don't succeed, it's actually a kind of protection for you in the current situation. ”

Xiao Dikai frowned suddenly, and looked at her with some surprise.

His eyes were wary.

But Zhang Chenhui had already avoided his gaze, turned around and walked away slowly.

The room returned to a frightening silence, and it seemed as if it could linger until the end of the world.

Xiao Di sat down on the recliner and closed his eyes with a sigh.

In the closed Prince's Mansion, time and space seem to be frozen, which feels more terrible than death for Xiao Dikai, who is only eighteen years old, but he has no choice, he can only live like a person who has retired early, counting the hours.

This filled him with frustration.

He was distressed, but not annoyed.

Zhang Chenhui, who was standing in the garden and looking at the window of the room he was in, had gloom in his eyes.

She said silently in her heart, "Prince, prince, you should be most upset about this matter now, but if you don't, then your future path may only be narrower and narrower."

It's a pity, it's a pity, you didn't realize it, and I can't make it too clear.

Yin Heng, who had been asking Emperor Xiao Hong for a long time, was oozing sweat on his forehead, and he was thinking about how he should explain Xiao Hong's illness to Xiao Hong, Liu, and Xiao Diyuan.

If he tells the truth, will this set off a brutal palace bloodbath?

But if he doesn't tell the truth, how will he explain Xiao Hong's inexplicable illness?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yin Heng reported in a low voice: "I still can't be too sure what is going on with Your Majesty's illness, please give Your Majesty a day or two to Weichen for a detailed examination." ”

Xiao Hong nodded.

Liu and Xiao Diyuan then got up and said goodbye.

That night, Yin Heng found a place where only Xiao Hong was with him, and whispered to Xiao Hong: "Your Majesty, Weichen suspects that you have ingested a medicinal powder recently. ”

"What?" Xiao Hong asked, looking at him puzzled.

Although he felt a little bottom in his heart, Xiao Hong still had a dizziness in his mind after hearing the news, followed by a cold feeling all over his body, as if he had suddenly been splashed head-on by a basin of ice water.
