031: Marriage is set
This boy was a little familiar, and before she could speak, the boy saluted her, "Fourth girl, I don't remember what I'm doing, I'm the coroner in the morning, my name is Dongfang Jin." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the Oriental Imperial Doctor, please come in." Zhao Xian'er let him into the courtyard and instructed Runyue to pour tea.
Dongfang Jin was extremely modest and helpless, "Girl, I'm not a doctor, but I just listen to people's orders in the palace and eat with a mouthful of food." ”
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Zhao Xian'er asked, "I don't know if you have any advice for coming to the door in person?" ”
Dongfang Jin said with a smile, "I don't dare to advise, I see that the girl also understands medical skills, and I want to ask the girl for advice." ”
Zhao Xian'er smiled, "It's just a matter of learning a few grass recipes in the countryside, where do you know what medical skills, but you can talk about it, let me see it for a long time." ”
Dongfang Jin's face became heavy, according to him, His Majesty was sick, dizzy, nauseous and weak, and the doctors diagnosed that it was caused by overwork and worry, but he didn't think so, he thought it was poisoning.
Because he didn't know what kind of poison it was, he didn't dare to speak rashly, and wanted to invite Zhao Xian'er to the palace to have a look.
Sending Dongfang Jin away, Zhao Xian'er's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, if His Majesty was really poisoned, who would have such courage.
She was pondering, but there was a strange itchy and hot feeling in her fingers, yesterday because of Yan Peng, her thumb was broken, and it was almost healed, but now it is red and swollen.
She suddenly thought, this finger twisted the powder in the paper bag, could it be that the powder was poisonous?
Zhao Xian'er cleaned her hands, fortunately, there was not much contamination, and she could bear it, and then she went to read the medical book, hoping to find out a thing or two about the powder.
In the days that followed, she and Dongfang Jin met several more times to discuss His Majesty's condition.
She found that this person was quick-witted, knowledgeable, and had unique insights, and analyzed the world forms very thoroughly.
After a few conversations, the two turned out to be good friends, Zhao Xian'er thought to herself, if you have a chance, you must introduce him to the prince, and you can make the best use of your talents.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and in the morning there was a thin layer of frost outside, Zhao Xian'er put on a snow-white plush, and he was hot on his hands.
Runyue was leading a few little girls, cleaning the yard, greeting her with a smile, and saying that it was cold, and even Xiangye was lazy, so he didn't go to the morning court.
Zhao Xian'er was suspicious in her heart, her father had always been diligent, how could he not go to the early dynasty because of the cold weather.
She went to Xinyi Garden, and her father's personal guard was still guarding the door, took her in, and said loudly from a distance, "Xiangye, the fourth girl is here." ”
Zhao Xian'er went in at this time, and after chatting with his father for a few words, he learned that the reason why he did not go to court was because His Majesty was seriously ill and had ignored the government for many days.
Prime Minister Zhao Cheng looked worried, "Xian'er, my father is going to visit His Majesty in the palace, so you can go back to the room first." ”
Zhao Xian'er thought about Dongfang Jin's words and wanted to see it with her own eyes, "Dad, I'll go with you." ”
"You are also a royal person, and it is reasonable to visit His Majesty, let's go,"
Zhao Xian'er followed his father to His Majesty's Chengquan Palace, where there were several imperial doctors who were helping His Majesty diagnose and treat, and there were several civil and military ministers standing on both sides.
Empress Zhou and Yan Peng were also there, and their faces were full of worry.
His Majesty was half-lying on the dragon bed, his face was sallow, his eyes were blank, and his breathing was heavy.
With tears in her eyes, Empress Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and held His Majesty's hand tightly, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" ”
His Majesty exhaled heavily, barely squeezing out a smile, "Zitong don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Empress Zhou glanced around sharply, revealing a mocking smile, "Old Five, you have been at home recently, and you have been in the palace every day to accompany Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty's illness getting worse and worse?" ”
The meaning of what Queen Zhou said was very obvious, that is, His Majesty's illness was related to King Chen.
The people in the entire dormitory looked at each other, knowing it, but they didn't dare to discuss it.
But Zhao Xian'er knew that it wouldn't be long before His Majesty was seriously ill and had something to do with King Chen, and it would be rumored outside the palace, in case His Majesty had another three long and two short, I was afraid that King Chen would not be able to explain it clearly no matter what.
And Yan Peng is still as stable as Mount Tai, with a shining demeanor, but he looks upright, and chuckles, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" Erchen didn't quite understand. ”
Empress Zhou sneered, "If you don't understand, this palace will be even more incomprehensible, Your Majesty has always been fine, since you came to greet you every day, Your Majesty's condition has worsened, what is the hidden meaning of this, do you know the fifth child?" ”
What she said was very obvious, King Chen was dissatisfied with His Majesty's punishment of him, so what did he do to His Majesty.
Yan Yan smiled calmly, "Queen Mother, the sons don't know, does the Queen Mother know?" ”
The air suddenly became stagnant, and the eyes of the queen and Yan Peng looked at each other, which seemed calm, but it made people feel an undercurrent churning.
"Your Majesty is sick, the mother and the prince are anxious, it is also human nature, the cause has not yet been discovered, you must not move the liver fire, the minister thinks, please ask the imperial doctors, and then carefully consider it, and find a good prescription." Zhao Cheng bowed forward, which was regarded as giving the two sides a step down.
Queen Zhou glanced at Yan Peng with disgust and didn't say anything more, because she knew that this fifth child was forced to be in a hurry, and she might not give her face, since the spearhead was provoked, let others speculate.
Several imperial doctors checked for His Majesty again, and the results were still the same as before, overtired and depressed, so they could only discuss changing the medicine and try it again.
Zhao Xian'er, who was standing on the side, stepped forward when everyone was discussing, she carefully observed His Majesty's expression, and found that his lips were darker, his eyes were bulging, red, and even his pulse was beating excitedly.
Her heart couldn't help jumping, a few days ago, her fingers were poisoned, she checked all the medical books, and found that the powder was mandala pollen, and His Majesty's situation was a symptom of chronic poisoning of mandala flowers.
The so-called poison, good is medicine, bad is poison, mandala is a traditional Chinese medicine, but if the dosage is deviated, it will stimulate toxicity.
The symptoms after poisoning are like wind chills, dizziness, chest tightness, and most doctors will overwork, and over time they will have nausea, vomiting, cramps, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, lack of energy, and finally organ failure and death.
Judging from His Majesty's situation, the dosage is very good and not easy to find.
Could it be that every time Xia He went out of the palace to meet Yan Peng, he wanted to bring this poison back to the palace and give it to His Majesty?
She casually fiddled with the tea on the table, as well as the uneaten meals, and the unused decoction, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and played with the silver hairpin on her head, without a trace of abnormality, which surprised her a little.
It could also be that Xia He died, so he stopped for the sake of prudence.
However, Zhao Xian'er thought that if some people wanted His Majesty's life, they would definitely continue, as long as he took action, he was not afraid of not being able to catch his handle.
Dare to attack His Majesty, it is really bold and reckless, Zhao Xian'er hid the panic in her heart, and did not dare to say her judgment, for fear of startling the snake.
But she clearly felt that there were two lines of unclear meaning that fell on her, Zhao Xian'er looked over, and Yan Peng's gaze collided in the air.
Feeling his eyes narrow, Zhao Xian'er avoided his gaze and looked to the side.
At this time, he found that Yan Peng walked to His Majesty's couch, lifted his skirt, and knelt down straight.
His Majesty was slightly surprised, "What is the fifth child doing?" ”
Yan Peng kowtowed respectfully, "Father, you are not in good health, and your sons are very worried, when your sons are in the people, they often hear that they use happy events to get rid of all evils, although they don't believe it all, but you might as well give it a try, maybe it will be useful." ”
His Majesty's tired, but still shrewd eyes, inspected him and Zhao Xian'er, "It's okay, use happy events to rush the heaviness of recent days, Zitong, you find someone to choose a date, and handle the marriage of Lao Wu and Xian'er as soon as possible." ”
"The concubine obeys."
Zhao Xian'er's brain buzzed, and her hearing was deaf for a moment, and after reacting, she quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the courtiers ......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen is grateful, and I will go back to arrange it immediately." Prime Minister Zhao Cheng bowed down and thanked him.
was patted on the shoulder by her father and shook his head at her, Zhao Xian'er bit her lip tightly, only feeling that her temples were beating wildly.
The other ministers of civil and military affairs congratulated His Majesty and the Prime Minister one after another, and the quiet atmosphere also became noisy, but Zhao Xian'er only felt a pain in his head.
"The fourth girl and King Chen are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you see, the two of them knelt in front of you, it really looked like they were worshipping in the church."
"Haha......" His Majesty finally laughed, "get up." ”
"It seems that this kiss is a pair, and His Majesty's complexion is much better." Other ministers complimented.
Listening to other people's discussions, Zhao Xian'er was extremely depressed, she didn't know how to get out of Chengquan Palace.
But His Majesty has promised to get married, and his father does not dare to disobey, let alone himself, Zhao Xian'er's heart has sunk to the bottom and can no longer be touched.
Thinking too much, she almost bumped into the body of the passer, Zhao Xian'er looked up, but saw Yan Peng standing in the middle of the road.
Zhao Xian'er regarded him as nothing, and was about to pass by his side, but Yan Peng stepped forward a few steps and blocked her way.
