Chapter 383: Think Twice
This night, even those who bet were so nervous, there is no need to mention how nervous the Chenwang Mansion is.
How many maids and maids have sore necks, if King Chen's mansion becomes a poor bastard, they really don't know where to stay.
Hearing the roar of the wind, and then the lightning and thunder, these people were overjoyed.
When it rains, they run and laugh in the rain frantically, and the cheering laughter is mixed with the sound of the rain, composing the most beautiful music in the world.
Outside, laughter and laughter.
Inside the house, the spring light is beautiful.
The brocade was turned over the clouds, and the coquettish pant groaned.
In the past few days, because of the matter of the night pearl, Chubei has been a little anxious, and King Yijun is still begging for rain at the altar, and he really can't be interested.
Now that the rain is pouring down, the boulder that pressed on his heart has been removed, and the whole person is relaxed.
At that time, he was reading a book in the study, and Qingyun came in to congratulate, "It's finally raining, you can sleep with confidence." β
Hearing Qingyun say sleep, Chu Bei raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were hot and gentle, flashing with a fine light.
Qingyun's face turned red, she knew very well what that kind of light meant.
She turned and walked away.
A hearty and mellow voice followed behind him, "It's late at night, it's time to rest." β
The bed creaked, moaned and roared, and the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
At this moment, it was very sweet, like falling into a honey pot.
But the next moment, Chu Bei roared and became irritable.
Outside, there was a banging knock on the door, quick and hard. "Princess! Help me! β
It was the shouts of the guards.
It was raining heavily outside, and the maids might not be able to hear the movement in the house, but the dark guards were people who practiced martial arts. Ears and eyes are wise, and standing in the doorway, surely they can hear.
If you dare to disturb when you hear it, something must have happened.
Chu Bei let out a low roar and rolled over from Qingyun's body.
Qingyun's face was flushed, and she hurriedly took her clothes and put them on, hurrying. As if she was a thief, she couldn't help but glare at Chu Bei fiercely.
Dressed haphazardly, the two went out.
Outside. A man in black stood there with King Yijun on his back, and the two of them were soaking wet, and after standing for a while, there was a puddle of water on the ground.
King Yijun crouched on the back of the man in black. Unconscious. The chapped lip flaps are all bloody.
Qingyun raised her hand and wiped it on the door of King Yijun's head, and was suddenly shocked, "Why is it so hot?" Help him into the house and go to the pharmacy. β
The man in black carried Chu Bei into the pharmacy on his back and placed him on a small couch.
As soon as he straightened up, Chu Bei asked, "What's the matter, how could King Yijun be so sick?" β
The man in black is the emperor's secret guard. Hearing Chu Bei's question, he lowered his head slightly. replied, "The prince of the county knelt for two days, and it just rained, he laughed happily, saying that it was finally raining, otherwise he would not be blind to death, and his subordinates were about to help him up, who wanted him to say a word, and fainted, and his subordinates found that his forehead and whole body were hot, and he was afraid that the prince of the county would make a mistake, so he hurriedly brought the palace to ......." β
Last time, the lord of Ruoyao County also had a high fever that did not go away, and the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were also helpless, he was a secret guard, although he did not know how to heal, but he also knew that the illness of King Yijun could not be delayed.
Chu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and his brows tightened, "Father asked you to make sure that King Yijun didn't come out of the situation, he had a high fever, why didn't you tell him?!" β
The man in black knelt down and pleaded, "Since noon, King Yijun has stopped drinking water, and he has not allowed his subordinates to come close to half a step, his subordinates are really ......." β
It was normal to be exposed to the sun, his lips were chapped, and his face was red, and he didn't think about a high fever.
Over there, Qingyun helped King Yijun take the pulse, and the more she checked the pulse, the more her brows wrinkled, she looked at Chu Beidao, "Isn't it a show, why are the thirty boards of King Yijun so strict?" β
Chu Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really not heavy." β
Knowing that he was going to be beaten, how could King Yijun not take precautions, plus which person who beat the board really dared to be ruthless?
The man in black was on the side and said, "King Yijun originally put cotton wool, but then King Anjun came, and he excused himself to urinate urgently, so he went to make it convenient and threw the cotton wool." β
King Anjun watched from the sidelines, wasn't he afraid that King Yijun would play tricks and stare at people playing the board.
If he finds out that King Yijun is cheating, it will not be a matter of thirty boards.
Qingyun listened to her forehead, she knew that King Anjun was here, there must be nothing good, King Yijun was really, he was hit by thirty boards, no matter how light it was, in front of King Anjun, it would not be light, and if the thirty boards went down, the butt would definitely see blood.
Coupled with exposure to the scorching sun, sweat stained the wound, and Yan zhΓ²ng became infected.
He was afraid that at noon, he knew that he had a fever, and he was afraid that he would be discovered by the secret guard, so he refused to allow the dark guard to approach him.
If the secret guard knew that he had a high fever, how could he not tell the emperor, although it was a bitter plan, but the emperor told the secret guard to feed him water, just to ensure that he was safe.
Offering the old prince is such a precious grandson, how dare the emperor let him have anything in case, then the old prince will go crazy.
King Yijun knew very well that once the plan was canceled, even if his previous qiΔ was done in vain, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and with King Yijun's temperament, how could he carry it to death.
It's also thanks to his tenacity that he can endure a few hours when he has a high fever, and he won't faint until it rains.
This is the pharmacy, and the maids are running in the rain, and now they are all wet, and they don't come.
Qingyun walked towards the medicine cabinet and brought out a jar of wine from the bottom, which was the wine she had purified, soaked in various medicinal herbs.
She instructed Chu Bei to take off King Yijun's clothes.
Chu Bei was about to pass, and the two secret guards slipped away King Yijun's clothes, leaving only a pair of obscene pants.
Looking at the obscene pants, Qingyun said in a cold voice, "Take off the obscene pants too." β
The two secret guards listened and looked straight at Qingyun.
Qingyun's face was cold, and she was definitely not joking.
The dark guard went to see Chu Bei again, Chu Bei's brows were also furrowed, he waved his hand and said, "Take it off." β
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he knew that Qingyun was saving the life of King Yijun, and the situation was urgent. Where can he be awkward?
The dark guard ripped off King Yijun's pants and turned him over.
Looking at the wounds on his buttocks, they were all a little suppurated. The pampered King of Yijun, who has never suffered much, can endure such a great hardship for the sake of the future of the palace, which makes them look at each other, and even admire them a little.
The wound was too severe, Qingyun took a small dagger and set it on the fire to roast, and she had to cut off the festering flesh.
The secret guard took cotton wool and dipped it in spirits to help King Yijun wipe his body and forehead.
Qingyun used alcohol to help King Yijun treat his wounds. Just in case, he also took anesthetic medicine to numb him.
After that, use a knife to cut off the festering meat.
Chu Bei stood aside and watched, and his frowning brows never relaxed.
Good for a while. Qingyun took care of the wound, and after cleaning his hands, he disinfected King Yijun and smeared with medicinal powder. Wrap it in gauze.
At this time. The medicine is almost ready.
Qiu He brought the medicine, the secret guard took it, and fed it to King Yijun, but where could King Yijun drink it in a coma, Qingyun asked Qiu He to take a bamboo pipe and a small funnel to help King Yijun pour the medicine in.
After King Yijun drank the medicine, Chu Bei asked Qingyun, "Will he be fine?" β
"It's going to be fine. The county lord Ruoyao was all right at the beginning," Wei Lu hurriedly said.
He knew that Chu Bei was anxious about the illness of the king of Yijun. If something happens to King Yijun, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He grabbed the words, which was to comfort Chubei, and also to remind Qingyun that some things can be said and some things cannot be said.
Qingyun knew Wei Lu's kindness, but she would not hide her condition, she looked at him Chu Bei and said, "I don't dare to guarantee it, because he is in a different situation from Ruoyao, Ruoyao is a heart disease, he is a wound infection, and he is much stricter than Ruoyao at that time, but he has a good physique, a tough heart, and a dangerous Cheng dΓΉ, which is similar to Ruoyao's county lord." β
Qingyun has a hunch that although King Yijun's situation is dangerous, he will live, and he will live well.
Just rushed to his temperament, knelt down and begged God to carry it over, Ye Mingzhu was wronged, he suffered so much, and he almost took his life, will he not retaliate?
An enemy who does not torture cannot survive and cannot die, and it is by no means his revenge disposition.
Just like the high fever of the county lord Ruoyao at the beginning, Qingyun guarded the small couch and helped the king of Yijun to reduce the fever.
The rain outside the window, like beads with broken threads, fell down with a bang, as if God had kicked off the footbasin in anger.
After a night, King Yijun's was still burning, but it was much better than when it was delivered.
At least his face wasn't so pale, and he was a little bloody.
In the early morning, it rained all night, and gradually stopped.
Chubei braved the rain to enter the palace and told the emperor.
At that time, the council hall was discussing things, and the imperial history platform impeached Chubei for sitting in the village, gathering people to gamble, and asked the emperor to severely punish Chubei, and the money he won back from sitting in the village was charged to the treasury to correct the national style.
Just think about it, Chu Bei sat in the Yongji Gambling House, and without doing anything, he won 1.6 million taels of silver, so much money, hundreds of officials in the imperial court, except for a few officials in the household department, how many have seen it?
Jealousy is jealous to death.
Especially Xingguo Gong, who originally thought that he could defeat the old prince in one fell swoop, seize the military power in his hands, and break one of Chubei's arms, who would have thought that a rain would crush all his calculations, and let him get more than one million taels of silver!
Xingguo Gong was angry and didn't fall asleep all night, he said that he couldn't let all that money flow into Chubei's cyst!
Chu Bei is the prince, and he is also going to the court, but he will soon move to the fief, and the emperor exempts him from going to the court.
He went to the council hall with a thick account book.
The account book was given to him by Yongji Gambling House, and it recorded all the bets lost by the king of Yijun, and he remembered every one very clearly.
King Anjun was sure that Chu Bei would lose, and he asked him to give him the account book, so that he could remember to pay back every sum of money, but also to let Chu Bei know who was in the well and who caused him to go bankrupt.
But he didn't expect that this account book would become a sharp weapon in the hands of Chu Bei.
He handed over the account book to the emperor, who flipped through the two pages and said with a smile, "In these years, the maid is so rich, it seems that I should also give the palace maids and eunuchs a monthly increase, otherwise once this account book is leaked, how can anyone enter the palace to be a maid in the future?" β
The emperor smiled, his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers.
They all bowed their heads weakly.
The emperor angrily threw the account book on the ground, Chu Bei took a step forward, and said, "Erchen sits in the gambling house, violates the laws and regulations of the country, knows that he is guilty, and is willing to be punished, but Erchen is supporting King Yijun, if there is a war one day, the part of the money won by Erchen will be used as military funds." β
The emperor nodded lightly and said, "You set such a big bet, looking forward to the rain of God, caring for the people, and you are very concerned about the situation of the border war, worrying about the country and the people, and the gambling money won will be used for military purposes in the future, and it will be disposed of properly, and I am very relieved, but as a prince and a prince, you will set up a gambling game and gather people to gamble, which will have a bad impact, and I will punish you for a year to set an example, and if you commit another offense, you will be severely punished!" β
Although the money was not confiscated, it was limited to its usefulness, and it was used on the soldiers, which was no different from confiscation, and he did not get any benefits, and he was fined for one year.
The ministers were relieved, and they should be punished like this.
But as soon as I was happy, I was about to cry one by one, so I heard the emperor smile and said, "In this account book, every stroke is remembered clearly, I didn't expect that you are eating the money of the imperial court, and you are the parents of the people, just in order to win a windfall, you actually look forward to not raining with your conscience. β
One by one, the ministers were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they quickly knelt down and confessed their guilt.
The emperor didn't want them to confess, according to the account books, how much money they gambled yesterday would be paid to the treasury, and if there was one less copper plate, they would receive a board!
The ministers hastened to say that they would hand over the money to the state treasury.
After finishing these, Chu Bei said, "Father, the king of Yijun was beaten by the board, and he knelt for two days, his wound festered, and he was in a coma since he was a child, and he has not woken up until now." β
When the emperor heard this, he sighed softly, "I didn't expect him to be so stubborn, to use such a method to prove his innocence, can the ministers still believe that the Night Pearl was stolen by King Yijun?" β
The emperor's eyes swept over the ministers.
They all shook their heads like wave drums, and since King Yijun took the initiative to kneel down and beg God for rain, they didn't doubt it, and they didn't dare to doubt it.
Now that the king of Yijun begged for rain, he was the hero of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he was unconscious, and they still doubted, didn't this force the king of Yijun to death?
On that day, how crazy the old prince was, they still remember, even the emperor dared to threaten, let alone them?
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, looked at the right minister and said, "Eight hundred miles to rush to the border pass, sue King SΓΉning, I Dajin Dynasty sent congratulatory gifts lost etiquette, and it is appropriate to make amends, but he is not allowed to be identified as the king of Yijun for stealing without evidence in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and forced the old prince and the king of Yijun to go to the Northern Jin Dynasty to apologize and confess, within three months, my Dajin will send the real murderer of the theft, and I can't find the real culprit, I personally went to the Northern Jin Dynasty to make amends, if I still detain King Xuan and force the king of Yijun to confess, my Dajin Dynasty is not muddy, I want to fight, I will accompany them to fight to the end!" β
After the emperor finished speaking, several ministers knelt down and said in fear, "The emperor thinks twice!" β
The emperor shook off his dragon robe and said without questioning, "Swing the palace of the king!" (To be continued.) )
