Chapter 609: Buckled

Although the emperor did not trust Dr. Ye in his heart, he also knew that his medical skills were indeed outstanding, especially good at conditioning people's bodies, and he was also quite successful in the treatment of eye diseases. As the imperial doctors said, King Guangping's eyes, everyone said that they were hopeless, but Dr. Ye treated him for more than a year, and he just let him see again. How can such medical skills be bad?

The emperor struggled in his heart, and immediately decided to summon Doctor Ye into the palace to treat him. Regardless of whether the latter is the person of the King of Guangping or not, but a mere doctor, he still dares to do anything in front of the emperor?

He straightforwardly gave an order to the internal supervisor around him and ordered someone to go to the Guangping Palace, summoning Doctor Ye. But at this time, the Queen Mother spoke from Xinuan Pavilion: "Doctor Ye is no longer in the Guangping Palace, and you can't find anyone if you go." ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and turned to the direction of the curtain in surprise: "Queen Mother? ”

The Queen Mother said lightly behind the curtain: "The emperor forgot? Before entering the lunar month, when Zhen'er entered the palace to ask for peace to the mourning family, he mentioned that Dr. Ye had treated your imperial brother for more than a year, and he had not gone home for a long time. Last year, he spent the Chinese New Year in the capital, and he felt very guilty for not being able to accompany his parents, wife and children. Now that your imperial brother has regained his sight, although there are still shortcomings, he only needs to recuperate slowly, and it will not be a big problem, and he can also retire after success, so he intends to resign. Your royal brother was grateful for his healing grace, and could not bear to see his family separated, so he rewarded him generously and ordered him to be sent back to his hometown. Didn't the emperor hear about it at that time? also said that Dr. Ye worked hard and rewarded him with a lot of things. He set off from the capital and went south at the beginning of the lunar month, but he was afraid that he would have arrived home a few years ago, right? ”

The emperor also remembered. There is indeed such a thing, at that time, he was still thinking in his heart, this doctor Ye who has good medical skills is gone. If there is something wrong with the eyes of the emperor's brother King Guangping, there will be no one to heal him, right? Therefore, he was very generous in rewarding Dr. Ye's things, hoping that the latter would never return, and even in order to reassure the other party, he specially assigned Jiang Cheng from the Tai Hospital to the Guangping Palace to take over Dr. Ye's duties. Unexpectedly, this decision is now pitted by itself.

He had a moment of suffering. After a while, he said: "Just order someone to ask him to come back, just don't alarm the local government." ”

Originally, it was an urgent order from the authorities. It is the easiest and fastest way to find someone through the local government and then send it to the capital as soon as possible. However, when the emperor thought that the news that he was injured in his right eye and was very likely to lose his sight leaked, what kind of discussion would be caused by the government and the opposition. And what kind of pressure will he be under. immediately vetoed this method, preferring to send cronies and eunuchs from the palace to Dr. Ye's hometown to secretly search. Even, before Dr. Ye entered the palace, he only dared to let the eunuch pretend that it was the recurrence of King Guangping's eye disease, but he didn't dare to say that there was a problem with his eyes.

The emperor really didn't want to follow his brother's old path.

The Queen Mother was noncommittal about the emperor's decision, but there was a faint gloom between her eyebrows. Zhao Xiu stood aside and saw clearly, she and Li Shanwen glanced at each other. I was quite uneasy.

When is this all right, why should the emperor still be suspicious of this. Suspicious of that? Aren't you afraid of delaying the treatment of your eyes? What if the news gets out? As long as the wound on his eye heals as soon as possible, no one will say a word. But if the injury on his eye is delayed and he can't recover for a long time, even if the people outside don't know the inside story for the time being, can the emperor still keep showing his face? As long as he showed his face, anyone could see what was happening. Does it really make sense to hide the truth?

However, Zhao Xiu knew that she was soft-spoken, and the emperor probably wouldn't listen to her advice, and besides, now was not the time to speak by herself. But she still couldn't help but remind the Queen Mother in a low voice: "Doctor Ye is far away in Jiangnan, even if he is summoned to Beijing, it will be a long time later." The emperor's injuries must be treated first, right? ”

The Queen Mother nodded lightly and raised her voice: "Your Majesty, no matter how good Dr. Ye's medical skills are, now far water can't save the fire, so let's let the Shilling Tai Hospital treat the emperor." Even if it can't be completely healed, at least it can improve the injury somewhat, right? The mourning family doesn't believe it, the hospital is full of wine bags and rice bags, and without Dr. Ye, there will be nothing, so what use do they need?! It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible and replace it with a doctor who really has the ability. ”

The faces of the judges and judges of the Tai Hospital turned blue, and they fell to their knees and pleaded guilty. They knew that what they said before must be too heavy to shirk their responsibilities, so that the Queen Mother could hear it, if in the face of the emperor's injury, they continued to procrastinate, and they wanted Dr. Ye to come back to carry the black pot, then they would not want to stay in the hospital anymore, maybe when the emperor understood, they would punish them!

The emperor was also a smart man, so he couldn't guess what was going on when he saw this? There was a moment of anger in my heart. It's just that his right eye is still painful, and Doctor Ye is not there, so he has nowhere to find a better doctor for a while, so he can only endure this breath for the time being. But at the same time, his suspicions flared up again: if the imperial doctors were afraid of responsibility and wanted to pull Dr. Ye to the top of the tank, would it be because they knew in their hearts that his eyes would not be better? It is precisely because they can't get better that they let others come out and take the blame. If so, why didn't they take the credit?

The emperor's heart couldn't help but tremble. If his right eye is not healed and he is really blind, then he will only have one left eye, which is also considered a disability. What would the courtiers think? Will the royal family think that he is not qualified to sit on this throne like his brother back then? Coincidentally, his elder brother King Guangping has now regained his sight, and his reputation in the clan has always been very high, and because of the embankment case, he has won a good reputation in Shilin. If someone in the court had proposed to let King Gwangpyeong replace him at this time, many people would have agreed, right? At that time, how should I deal with it?

The emperor's heart was in a mess, and suddenly someone from the palace reported outside the palace: "The queen mother, the emperor, the eldest son of the emperor and the concubine Niangniang, please see you outside the palace gate." ”

The emperor was suddenly shocked in his heart, knowing that these two people had probably heard about the movement of the closed door of Cining Palace, and came to see what was going on. However, it doesn't matter if he is a concubine, he can trust this concubine, but the eldest son of the emperor is ......

It's not that the emperor is too careful, but the queen suddenly assassinated him, if he has a good thing, the most likely to benefit is the emperor's eldest son. Although the emperor has always taken great care to reduce the influence of the empress on the eldest son. But did the eldest son of the emperor really know nothing about his biological mother's actions beforehand?

Also, if it weren't for the second son of the emperor begging the queen mother. If the Queen Mother allows the Queen to defend herself, the Queen will not have the opportunity to assassinate. The queen did this kind of thing, and the second son of the emperor must be responsible.

Thinking about it like this, the emperor only felt that his head was even more dizzy. He ordered in a deep voice: "Let them go back, go back to their palace!" Concubine Duan let her live and recuperate, the eldest son of the emperor...... ordered him to wait for his will in the East Palace, but did not get my permission. He was not allowed to leave the East Palace, and no one was allowed to look at him! ”

Everyone in the Xinuan Pavilion was shocked when they heard this, and Li Shanwen's heart fell straight to the depths. The Queen's assassination. Sure enough, it still affected the eldest son of the emperor. What's going on now? She was still a little girl after all, and she couldn't help but show a look of panic and despair on her face.

Zhao Xiu secretly shook her hand to show comfort. But at this moment, she couldn't think of any way to help the emperor's eldest son. The queen is his biological mother. Something like that was done. He couldn't have been unaffected at all. But if he loses his position because of this, or even gets convicted, he is really wronged.

The queen's actions today are clearly crazy and confused, and it has nothing to do with the emperor's eldest son. But the queen said something wrong that shouldn't have been said, which affected her son. With such a pig teammate's biological mother, the eldest son of the emperor is really pitiful.

Worse. The emperor was only injured in the eye, but his body was still strong. He also had another concubine, and that concubine was pregnant. If he has a healthy and intelligent prince in the future, and the eldest son and second son of the emperor who once assassinated the emperor's mother, can he continue to enjoy preferential treatment in the right to inherit the throne? I'm afraid that once the queen is deposed, they won't even be able to keep the identity of the prince.

Zhao Xiu had countless thoughts in his heart, only to feel that the future was dark. Is the royal family in this dynasty going to be in turmoil again? She desperately wanted to ask the king of Quang Binh for advice, how to solve this incident? How long has it been since the days of peace? She didn't want to live that kind of scared life anymore.

She was worried, and the emperor issued a new order, asking the queen to be escorted to the big Buddha hall in the apse, strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to visit without the will. In addition, the second son of the emperor was also confined in the residence of the five institutes in Qianxi. Zhao Xiu, Li Shanwen and the princess of Fenyang Wang, the three witnesses, had to stay in Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, take care of the Queen Mother's unwell, and not leave Cining Palace until the will was obtained.

When Zhao Xiu heard this, his face changed, could it be that even they were to be detained in the palace? Is the emperor going to completely block the news? But how is this possible?!

The Queen Mother obviously understood the emperor's intentions, and she couldn't help but remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, tonight's family banquet should be canceled, right?" It's just a matter of finding a good reason. ”

Today is the Lantern Festival, and there is a family banquet in the palace, which is held between the royal family and the members of the clan. At this moment, I'm afraid that someone has already handed a sign into the palace.

The emperor's face changed, and he finally remembered this, so he had to order: "The family banquet is canceled, quickly send someone to the palace gate, and stop everyone back." Just say...... The queen made the queen mother angry, and the queen mother was unwell and should not drink for a banquet. ”

A eunuch took the order.

The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he remembered that the queen mother had also fainted, and was busy ordering the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse. Zhao Xiu and the other three daughters avoided behind the screen and watched the imperial doctor diagnose and treat the queen mother, but the emperor was already about to drive back to the Qianqing Palace. He lost a lot of blood, and he was uncomfortable at this time, so he just wanted to go back to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible. But in order not to let people see his embarrassed appearance at the moment, he specially summoned a warm sedan chair to block himself tightly.

The emperor left, and the imperial doctors also retired after diagnosing the pulse, and only the queen mother and Zhao Xiu were left in the Xinuan Pavilion, as well as the palace maids of Cining Palace. After this half day, they all felt exhausted.

But what is more unbearable than exhaustion is the reality that Zhao Xiu and others are detained in the palace. Li Shanwen asked the Queen Mother with some fear: "When can we go home?" What will the emperor do with the emperor's eldest son? Zhao Xiu also looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for her answer. At this moment, the only person who can influence the emperor's decision is the Queen Mother.

The queen closed her eyes tiredly: "The mourning family doesn't know." ”

Zhao Xiu's heart sank.

The Queen Mother was tired and wanted to rest, so the three daughters had to retire temporarily. Cining Palace occupies a large area, there are still empty rooms in the main hall, and they can't take care of it much, only to see that there is a kang, so they sit on it and rest against the wall. Even if you can't sleep, you don't want to say anything after looking at each other a few times. Zhao Xiu was just next to the kang wall, closed his eyes and recuperated, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, someone vigorously shook her awake. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was the palace maid beside the Queen Mother. The palace maid whispered: "The queen mother summoned the girl over." Zhao Xiu looked at the other end of the big kang and found that the princess of Fenyang had already slept on the pillow, but Li Shanwen was sitting in a daze.

The queen mother was called, Zhao Xiu hurriedly got off the kang, tidied up her hair and clothes, and followed the palace maid to Xinuan Pavilion. The Queen Mother just rested here. By this time she had sat up, and her spirit seemed to be better, but there was still a deep melancholy between her brows.

Zhao Xiu saluted the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to signal her to come over. When she approached the kang, she heard the queen mother whisper: "The emperor does not allow the three of you to leave the palace, for fear of leaking the news, your brother does not know, and he will pick you up in front of the palace gate, and he is meeting Zhen'er accompanying his father out ......"

Zhao Xiu's heart jumped, and he immediately guessed what was going on. The Lantern Festival royal family banquet was canceled, and the royal family members who were originally going to participate in the banquet were about to leave the palace, and it was at this time that King Guangping and Gao Zhen met Zhao Wei, and when they learned that she was still in Cining Palace, they naturally wanted to ask. But she was ordered by the emperor and detained in Cining Palace......

Zhao Xiu asked the Queen Mother worriedly: "Could it be ...... Did my brother and the prince of Guangping go to the emperor to ask about the courtiers? ”

The Queen Mother sighed and nodded lightly: "The emperor is injured, so naturally he won't see his ministers, but he won't even see his nephew, so they will inevitably be a little more suspicious." Zhen'er had already asked your brother to go home and wait for news, but he stayed in the Qianqing Palace by himself, insisting on seeing the emperor and asking for an understanding, otherwise he would let him come to Cining Palace to see the mourning family. How could the emperor agree? You know best what happened just now. ”

Of course, Zhao Xiu knew it in his heart. The emperor is now suspicious and refuses to see people, Gao Zhen is clamoring to see him at this time, which is very likely to aggravate the suspicion in the emperor's heart, which is absolutely not good for Gao Zhen and King Guangping!

At this time, someone must stabilize Gao Zhen and let him go back.

Zhao Xiu gritted his teeth and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, let the courtiers see the prince." The courtiers will not reveal what happened in the Cining Palace, and only let the prince go back to the palace, is this okay? ”

The Queen Mother stared at Zhao Xiu: "Do you really want to do this?" To know...... If you say a word that you shouldn't say, let Zhen'er know the emperor's current situation, and you may be burned at any time! ”

Zhao Xiu smiled indifferently: "King Guangping and the prince have no ambition for the throne, and the fire can't be burned." The emperor just thinks too much, if he is not at ease, the courtiers will meet the prince in front of him. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, and then held Zhao Xiu's hand: "Okay, this matter will be arranged by the mourning family." You just need to remember one sentenceβ€”" she narrowed her eyes, "if anything, the mourning family would rather gain their own flesh and blood, do you understand?" ”

Zhao Xiu's eyes widened in surprise. (To be continued......)
