Chapter 32: Bad News
There are a lot of talented people among the people, and hundreds of people have unveiled the list within seven days of posting the emperor's list, but unfortunately, the emperor's disease is not a disease, but a poison. Therefore, the general healer only went to the palace for a round and gained knowledge before being sent out of the palace.
However, one person did not unveil the list, but went straight to the court, handed over the name post, and after a while, someone greeted him.
The person who greeted him was the crown prince Su Yuan, who was now very haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had to supervise the country to deal with national affairs, but also serve the sick, so he was naturally exhausted.
"I heard that Gongzi is a disciple of Xia Yisheng, and he is not welcome." Su Yuan arched his hand.
Seeing that the person in front of him hesitated for a long time, the little chamberlain beside Su Yuan lowered his head and said, "This is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Xia Xun meets His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xia Xun bowed and saluted, making a respectful attitude.
"Mr. Xia is polite, go with the palace to see my father's illness." Su Yuan turned sideways and invited Xia Xun into the hall.
Xia Xun routinely asked the emperor about it, asked some more questions, looked determined, and said: "Your Majesty is poisoned, but it doesn't matter, no need for medicine, no need for acupuncture, just take the purse and incinerate it indoors." ”
Su Yuan frowned, this method can be described as extremely strange, and he asked several imperial doctors, but they didn't know this method.
Xia Xun explained: "This is also what my master discovered when he traveled, and it is very effective against this poison, if you don't want to try, you will leave in the future." ”
"I believe him!" A familiar voice came from outside the door, Su Yuan's frowning brows tightened again, and he went out to greet him, and said, "Meet the queen mother." ”
"Yuan'er, I believe him, let him try!" The queen looked sad, "Your father has been in a coma for so long, the state affairs are in ruins, and the harem is restless, no matter what the method, you have to give it a try!" ”
Su Yuan lowered his head, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart, and the state affairs were wasted? He governs all day long, how can he be wasted!
"Yes, the queen mother is in charge." Su Yuan said.
Someone was sent to dig up the purse and set it on fire indoors, and everyone waited quietly for a miracle to happen.
A quarter of an hour later, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and slowly woke up, and the imperial doctors flocked to the top, checking the pulse, looking at the eyelids, in short, busy and happy.
The queen was overjoyed, standing on the side of the couch and looking at the emperor softly, while Su Yuan looked at them with a complicated expression.
Once upon a time, his father's couch was his mother, not this woman, and now, even Meng Meng ......
Thinking of this, his eyes turned a little red, so that the emperor who had just woken up was very relieved to see it.
When the purse was just burned, the concubines and princesses in the palace had already arrived, but there was only one less.
Although the emperor was still very weak, he was in good spirits, and when he looked around the room, he found that there was no Su Meng.
"Where's Moe?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Mengmeng, missing......" The queen wiped her tears with a handkerchief, for fear that the emperor would not be able to withstand the blow, so she did not tell him that Su Meng Shenhu had passed away.
"Missing?" The emperor was furious, but his mind was full of doubts, what had happened?
The queen didn't add oil and vinegar, but just stated the facts, which made the emperor's face darken, and said with a gloomy face: "The prince stays, and everyone else retreats!" ”
"Yes!" The queen glanced at Su Yuan defiantly, and then led everyone to retreat.
Su Yuan was red-eyed, knelt down in front of the emperor, stalked his neck and didn't explain, pursed his lips, very stubborn.
"Yuan'er, where is Mengmeng now?" The emperor was no longer as fierce as he was just now, and rubbed Su Yuan's sideburns weakly.
"Father, do you really believe what the Queen Mother said?" Su Yuan did not answer the emperor's question, but threw out this question that stuck in his throat.
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "I believe in Meng Meng. ”
When Su Yuan heard this answer, his eyes instantly brightened, but then they dimmed again, Meng Meng was dead, even if his father believed it, what could he do?
"Father, you named me the crown prince that day, and soon after I returned to the mansion, I heard that you had fainted, and then I learned that the queen mother sent people to surround the Yulin Pavilion, and also imprisoned the entire Yulin Pavilion in the Imperial Prison."
"Because I don't know what happened, the son did not enter the palace without permission, and I didn't think about it, and it came the next day...... News of Moe's disappearance! Erchen sent people to search in and around the capital, and someone witnessed Meng Meng falling into Jinghu. ”
The emperor's eyes widened, his face was full of sadness, he grabbed Su Yuan's shirt and roared angrily: "Fallen into the Silent Lake!" What about people? Did you save it? Didn't you say that the queen surrounded the Yulin Pavilion? How could it be missing and fell into the lake! ”
This is also where the sons are puzzled, every time she asks the queen mother, she puts state affairs first, and asks her sons to concentrate on state affairs and not ask about it. As for Meng Meng, Erchen searched through Jinghu Lake, but he didn't find her. Su Yuan bit his lip, a wisp of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, he hated himself for not protecting Su Meng well, and even more hated the queen's femme fatale!
"Queen!" The emperor spit out two words viciously, his eyes were full of hatred, his favorite daughter died like this? He didn't believe it, he didn't believe a word!
For a long time, neither father nor son spoke, and the huge palace was unusually silent.
"Father, please, you must be the master of Mengmeng!" Su Yuan slammed his head on the ground and made a loud noise, and the emperor sighed and ordered him to get up.
The emperor's old face actually shed a tear, as a powerful emperor, he responded to every call, and now, he is just a father who has lost his daughter.
"Yuan'er, I will find out about this matter, and I will definitely find Mengmeng!"
Zidexuan, the incense burner is full of fragrance, wafting throughout the house.
The second prince, Su Ze, said anxiously: "What do you think, you wake up your father, but if he has any feelings for Su Meng and Su Yuan, he will not cure them for the crime of killing the king!" ”
Xia Xun said coldly: "They didn't kill the monarch in the first place!" ”
"This trick was obviously made by you, but now it's like this!" Su Ze grabbed Xia Xun's shirt and scolded angrily.
Xia Xun turned sideways, dodged Su Ze, and sneered: "You sent Tao Jiali as a guide, and you also sent killers to ambush me, what is the explanation?" ”
"I didn't!" Su Ze frowned and said resolutely.
Xia Xun lowered his head and pondered, if it wasn't done by the second prince, who else would it be?
"In fact, even if the emperor dies, it is the crown prince who benefits. He is the rightful prince! If you want to ascend to the throne, the emperor must live! Otherwise, you are rebellious and unjustifiable! After Xia Xun calmed down, he analyzed.
Even if there had been no assassination, he would have saved the emperor.
Su Ze was silent, Xia Xun's words were not unreasonable. If his father dies, he is not qualified to fight for the throne, only when his father is still alive, he is qualified to fight!
"Xia Xun, I don't know what happened to you, but please calm down and discuss with me if you have something!" Su Ze warned.
"Yes!" Xia Xun gave up.
Although Xia Xun was used by Su Ze, his heart was more than that, since Su Meng had passed away, the great cause of restoring the country had become the only thing he pursued in life!
