The prince was lying on the bed like this, but his eyes looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a smile, and he obviously didn't intend to hide anything from Fang Xiaoyu in such a gesture.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not want to say?" After Fang Xiaoyu's initial pause, her expression could return to normal, she originally thought that the matter of the prince suddenly contracting the plague was a bit suspicious, but now that she got such a result, it would not surprise her.

"Ben wasn't going to hide anything from you. Xici said that you don't have to hide anything. "The prince didn't forget to say good things to Ye Xici at this time, it seems that this problem of liking to draw red threads for people should be inherited from their Ye family.

"Okay, let the courtiers hear why." As soon as Fang Xiaoyu saw that the prince was winking at her, she knew that she was accidentally overhearing whether someone was eavesdropping, so she shook her head and said to show that there was no one at this time.

After getting Fang Xiaoyu's affirmation, the prince sat up, rubbed his already swollen head and said, "My neck is sore from lying down this day." ”

Fang Xiaoyu just stared at the prince, but did not take over. The crown prince continued: "Although I am under house arrest in this East Palace, I am not blind to things outside, and I always hear some rumors. Since the outbreak of the plague, there has not been much peace in this east palace. Suddenly I felt that I was tired and tired, and I also had a little doubt, so I asked Xiao Wuzi to pay attention to it from time to time, and really found something else in the meals and tonic soup I ate every day. Xiao Wuzi is the person who has been with me since he was a child, he can be trusted, he has an ability, except for me and Xici, no one knows, that is, he knows the principle of medicine and poison. If it weren't for this, there would be endless fighting in the palace, and I would have been deceived by me, and I would have been harmed in the past few years. ”

"Since someone has poisoned the meal, how to solve the soup of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in recent days?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.

"The people of Xici will quietly send some things to stock, and those meals seem to be eaten, but in fact, they are just for Xiao Wuzi to pour secretly." The prince pointed to the cabinet next to him, where there was a pile of food hidden in it, and he secretly ate it in the house. I'm not afraid of being watched.

"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever felt unwell in the past two days?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The prince shook his head and said, "Since I stopped eating every day, I have never felt unwell again. ”

"The reason why I have to pretend to be infected with the plague. Is it to hang out the poisoner? Fang asked with a smile.

The prince nodded and said, "It is said that the food was poisoned, and the kitchen man is the most suspicious. It's just that not only the food, but even the tea will occasionally be served with ingredients, and there are so many people in the East Palace. It's not difficult to check if you really know that you're afraid, but if you don't want to startle the snake and inquire in private, it's not so easy. I pretended to be sick as I wanted, wanting to lure out this person and force him to show his flaws. ”

The prince no longer used an official title to speak in front of Fang Xiaoyu at this time, but called himself me. This is a treatment that even the crown princess Bai Wan has never had, except for Ye Xici.

It's not that the prince values Fang Xiaoyu much, it's just that what he really values is Ye Xici. Because Ye Xici likes Fang Xiaoyu, because Ye Xici wants to marry Fang Xiaoyu as his wife, he really digs out his heart and lungs for Fang Xiaoyu. Because once Fang Xiaoyu married Ye Xici. Not only was he able to get Ye Xici's full help, but he also got Fang Xiaoyu's powerful help.

"In this way, how long does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to hide this illness?" Fang Xiaoyu's brows shrank tightly, as if she couldn't figure out something.

"It depends on whether the man will show the fox's tail." The prince can't be sure, but it will always be infrequent, the incubation period of the plague is only ten or twenty days, and then it will definitely break out, so if he can't take down the traitor in the East Palace, he must be cured. As for how to heal. That's what you need to think about after that.

"Then Dr. Shen, who came to see the patient today, is it your person?" The prince suddenly remembered something, and suddenly asked.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It is indeed the person I recommended to enter the palace, he has a great connection with this plague, and the medicine that cures the plague is about to fall into his hands." ”

"No wonder he was willing to cooperate with me. The doctors who came before were all familiar people. I'll just send it away. It's just that today, this Dr. Shen is really shocked, and I am in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't debunk it, but just told the lie along the way, otherwise this plan of pretending to be sick would be in vain. The prince said with a smile, and was also very pleased with Shen Shanruo's knowledge of current affairs. He had heard Xinrou say something about Shen Shanruo, so he remembered that he saw this person today. Hearing his name and surname, he immediately remembered Fang Xiaoyu, so he didn't mess up.

"Then Shen Shanruo personally took the pulse of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Fang Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

"That's true." The prince nodded in affirmation.

Fang Xiaoyu's face was a little gloomy, so he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you stretch out your hand and let me check the pulse?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Fang Xiaoyu suddenly asked this question, but he didn't think that Fang Xiaoyu would harm him, so he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "You still know how to probe the pulse?" ”

"I understand a little." Fang smiled and put two fingers on the prince's wrist, and then his face became more and more heavy.

Gently channeling the internal force in his body in the prince's body, Fang Xiaoyu's brows never stretched out again. The prince also seemed to notice Fang Xiaoyu's gloomy expression, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.

"What? Could it be ......" The prince looked at Fang Xiaoyu with burning eyes, as if waiting for an important answer.

"Your Highness, can Xiao Wuzi really be trusted?" Fang Xiaoyu didn't answer the prince's question directly, but just turned the topic around to Xiao Wuzi again.

The prince was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Wuzi has followed me since he was a child, and he is responsible for food and clothing, and he has always been loyal, and he should be a trustworthy person. How? Did you find something wrong with him? ”

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's not that there's anything wrong with the little fifth son, it's that there's something wrong with you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Oh?" The prince looked up in surprise.

Fang Xiaoyu sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Although Shen Shanruo is the person I recommended to the palace, I haven't mentioned too much about His Highness to him, and it is impossible for him to tell him to cooperate with His Highness in this scene. ”

"Xu is his exquisite mind, guessed one or two?" The prince frowned.

"That's what I thought. It's just that if this is the case, what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be very wrong. ”

Seeing the prince's thoughtful expression, Fang Xiaoyu did not let him wait for a long time, but continued: "The reason why Shen Shanruo cooperated with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to finish this play is because in his eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not acting at all. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The prince had a bad premonition in his heart.

And Fang Xiaoyu's words really gave him a slap in the face. She said, "Your Highness the Prince, you are really infected with the plague. And it has just been infected, so that the disease has not yet broken out. But I'm afraid a day or two at the latest. His Highness will begin to have a fever, just like the people in the capital who have been hit by the plague. ”

"What?" The prince was shocked!

He's been careful enough these days, why does he still catch symptoms like the plague? And as Fang Xiaoxiao just said, he had just contracted the plague. Could it be that the Tai Doctor who came in the morning also had the person behind the scenes?

"How's that okay?" The prince was a little upset for a while. Don't look at the court, he assists the emperor in handling political affairs in an orderly manner, but when his life is really endangered, how many people can face it calmly?

He fought in this palace and fought in the palace, and the so-called was just to keep the title of the crown prince. Because he knows it very well. Once he is ousted from the throne of the crown prince, the fate that awaits him is either to be killed or placed under house arrest.

The battles of a qiē are all about survival. So over the years, he has used intrigues and tricks, and he has also stained blood on his hands. Although he never kills innocents indiscriminately, after all, he also has human lives in his hands.

To kill is to live. He has been struggling to survive in the man-eating dye vat of the palace until now, is he going to die on this plague?

"Your Highness need not worry. Your Highness, this plague has just been infected, and it is not fatal, as long as you do what I say, your Highness will be safe and sound. It's just that I need some herbs. Is there a way for Your Highness to get it? Fang Xiaoyu didn't intend to hide the matter of private prescriptions. There are some things that she needs the prince's cooperation.

"Tell Xiao Wuzi to fetch it." With that, the prince summoned the little fifth son into the house.

Fang Xiaoyu repeatedly instructed that this matter should be done in secret, not to be discovered, and the utensils needed to decoction and boil medicine should be brought by Xiao Wuzi.

Then, according to what is written in the prescription, pour the required medicinal materials into the pot, slowly decoction into a bowl of thick soup, and hand it to the prince: "Your Highness only needs to take this medicine, once a day." After taking it for three days, the medicine can be cured. ”

"So amazing?" The prince seemed to be a little skeptical, and said, "In this case, isn't the medicine that cures the plague already developed?" ”

"It can only temporarily cure people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who are newly ill. It is not obvious for people who have been infected for a long time. The weight of the medicine still needs to be considered, but the day is not far from when the anti-epidemic drug will be thoroughly developed. Fang Xiaoyu panicked.

"I see. I hope that I can do my best to develop an antidote to relieve the suffering of the people. The prince didn't seem to be suspicious, pinched his nose and drank the bowl of bitter potion. Then he frowned, swallowed his saliva, and looked extremely pained. It is like the two of His Royal Highness the Prince, who is usually handsome and dashing in front of people.

"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a strange cause of this epidemic, in addition to the people who poisoned the food, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be more careful these days. I'm afraid that this person never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be healed so lightly, and he would definitely relax his vigilance, in order to paralyze this person, and for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince's safety, he had to be wronged by His Royal Highness to lie on the bed for a while. After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu said again: "As for the matter of this medicine, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to send his confidants to complete it, as long as you take the medicine on time, it will only take three days to recover." ”

"I see. This matter also requires the ward to resign, and it will bother you. The prince was very understated, so he pushed the matter of seeing Ye Xici to Fang Xiaoyu.

Although Fang Xiaoyu was speechless in his heart, he also nodded, and said: "Although I came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the behest of the emperor and queen, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and I should not stay too long." If there is something, find someone to go to the general's mansion to inform you. The courtiers retired. The last sentence was deliberately said by Fang Xiaoyu.

The prince looked at Fang Xiaoyu's figure leaving, but he smiled knowingly. A woman with her own opinions, such as Fang Xiaoyu, would be a good help if she really married that kid from Xici.

It's just that such a woman is also difficult to tame, and if she is not careful, she will be countered. In addition, this Miss Fang's martial arts are not weak, and even Xici is not an opponent. He could almost imagine how colorful the life of this kid would be in the future.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't have the slightest smile along the way. Although the prince's life was saved, the traitor in the East Palace was worrying.

In fact, what she was thinking was, was this traitor really in the East Palace?

Early in the morning, in order to lure out the traitors, the prince pretended to be infected with the plague. Since the report was issued, the imperial doctor who came to see the prince alone has dispatched almost the entire imperial hospital.

In the palace, if you don't know who will put a few eyeliners in the hospital. One is to ensure that someone can cure the disease, and the other is to have a doctor who is his own person, which is also very convenient for harming others.

Even for those who don't have so many fancy intestines, having a Tai Doctor attached to them can ensure that other people will not harm her lightly.

After all, this palace is a dyeing room, and even if a pure and innocent person lives in this cage for a few more years, he will be dyed more or less.

Especially those whose life and death are in the hands of others, those whose lives are not up to them, in order to live, in order to climb up, in order to decide their own fate and the fate of others, slowly, no matter how clean their hands are, they will be stained with blood.

She can say that the emperor is a good emperor and the crown prince is a good prince, but this is because they are people who can control the life and death of others. With life and death in his hands, he is qualified to decide whether he is good or not.

Even the prince of a country like the crown prince, in order to be able to sit firmly in this position, in order to avoid the fate of being killed or placed under house arrest in the future, he is constantly fighting, not to mention others?

The name of the imperial doctor is bluffing, but those who can treat the emperor's ladies are not all the holy hands of the country? But it's sad to say.

What is the difference between them and minions? When summoned by the nobles, they come and go. Sometimes it is a disease that cannot be done by man, but it is always forced to be completely cured. If they can't be cured at every turn, they will ask for their heads, and every time they go to the doctor's office, they simply pin their heads to their trouser belts and go out with a sense of generosity and righteousness. Every time I come back, I feel glad that I am alive.

It's good to meet the emperor like this, even if he threatens with his head, most of them are just talking, it's really not their fault, and they won't be held accountable at the time. But there are really nobles in this palace who want to kill people casually. From ancient times to the present, are there still a few imperial doctors who have died in these messy secrets?

Then none of these people will be bought by Zhou Guifei or Ye Shucheng?

Fang Xiaoyu thought about it, and suddenly bumped into someone. When she looked up to apologize, she found that the person she bumped into was also an acquaintance. (To be continued.) )
