Zhang Jiebin and Wang Xingping were nervous when they heard this, Ciqing Palace is the prince's bedroom, and most of the places they found here were for Zhang Jiebin to see a doctor, and they had not been there in the past. However, although Zhang Jiebin has a good relationship with Wang An, and he can talk to many chamberlains in the palace, he has never entered the palace late at night.

What could be so urgent in the middle of the night? Moreover, there are nobles in Ciqing Palace who are sick, and they don't let the Zhongguan go to the nearest Daming Gate to find the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy but let a doorman find him, even if there is really anything, Zhang Jiebin remembers that there is still the internal value of the Tai Hospital outside the east wall of Ciqing Palace. In short, things are strange, and when he thinks of the murder a few years ago, his face is a little exciting.

Wang Wenyan seemed to see Zhang Jiebin's thoughts, and his tone was slightly slower: "Mr. is relieved, it's not that the master is in trouble, it's that Mrs. Wang has an emergency." ”

The people around the prince said that Wang Niangzi must refer to the talented Wang family of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Youxiao, and in terms of status, since the death of the crown princess Guo, she should be the most respected woman in the Ciqing Palace. As long as you live in Beijing for a while, you can know a little bit about this, others don't say that at least Shen Defu will also gossip about Wang Xingping, there are a lot of rumors about this prince, anyway, he is not treated by the emperor, and there is less awe among the people.

Zhang Jiebin still felt that things were strange, but Wang Wenyan was familiar with him after all, or did the ghost send him to take Wang Xingping on a trip together, but somehow, at this time, he suddenly felt that the young master of the Wang family was quite reassuring to be around. Wang Xingping didn't care about having the opportunity to get close to the palace, after all, in his impression, there would be no major events in the palace these days.

Wang Wenyan has no opinion on this, he probably forgot to see Wang Xingping, and judging by his age, he was only serving the boy by Zhang Jiebin's side.

Zhang Jiebin simply cleaned up and followed Wang Wenyan out of the door, with the small yellow gate of Ciqing Palace leading the way, along the way was not embarrassed by the people in the patrol camp, and a group of four people quickly entered the Donghua Gate.

After entering the Donghua Gate, it is already considered the imperial city, if it is along the road all the way to the west is the Wenhua Palace, the small yellow gate that leads the road does not go straight, but just crosses the stone bridge of the Inner Jinshui River and goes to the north, and after a short time, it has faintly seen the three gate walls on the opposite side of the Inner Jinshui River that have been around again, which is the gate of Ciqing Palace.

…………

Wang An has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but now his gray eyebrows are locked on his forehead, and he looks restless. Even though he has supported the prince all the way to the present, he has always maintained a humble appearance and never dared to be a little arrogant in front of outsiders. Today's matter is not a big deal to be transferred to other wealthy families, but it is really inappropriate to fall on the prince.

The talented person next to the prince, the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, was beaten because of a trivial matter. It was no one else who beat her, but Zhu Changluo's other 'wife' Li Xuanzhi. Originally, the mother was more precious than the son, and Wang Cai gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, although the Li family also gave birth to a grandson for the prince, but he died five years ago, and there should be no problems in this identity in the prince's palace. But Zhu Changluo doted on the Li family abnormally, and the Li family gradually became pampered and coquettish, plus his dead son often looked at the Wang family's disobedience, and the Li family often bullied the Wang family in private, but no one in Ciqing Palace dared to come out to reprimand him, even Wang An could only persuade with good words, if this matter is said, outsiders may not believe it.

Today is also a coincidence, during the day, Li was angry with Wang because of a trivial matter, and he really fought under verbal abuse, and finally Wang was beaten by Li, and at night he suddenly became more injured and couldn't get up.

Wang Xingping listened to Wang Wenyan talk about this on the road, and he had to shake his head helplessly, Emperor Taizu customized, in addition to the first kings and the founding ministers had a marriage, the concubines of the Zhu Ming royal family were all selected from the folk family. This is, of course, to prevent relatives from becoming bigger, but it also means that women who have the opportunity to become queens and imperial concubines in the future are actually not well educated, which will even directly affect the character of the prince in the future.

Not to mention anything else, when today's son's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Li, was born in a private household in Tongzhou. The prince's biological mother, Empress Xiaojing, Wang, was only a brocade guard in Xuanfu Town when she was not in the palace. And now the emperor's most favored imperial concubine Zheng, before the age of sixteen, was just a peasant girl in Daxing.

Their families are often prosperous because of their daughters, but because they have no background, they are more likely to embark on the path of cruelty, and they are widely disliked by officials and people. Take Empress Dowager Li, who has a good reputation, for example, his son Wu Qingbo Li Wei once made a scandal that the soldiers froze to death by greedy ink and the defenders of the Great Wall were frozen to death by cotton jackets and silver, and was also instructed by Zhang Juzheng Qi Jiguang to participate in a book. In the past many years of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Wan once ascended to heaven, but the wind evaluation is not much better than that of the internal officials, and he is a representative of both stupidity and badness.

A few days ago, Wang Xingping and Shen Defu traveled with Li Wei's capital business, Tsinghua Garden, and I heard a lot about these things.

Wang An's worries are not unreasonable, although Zhu Changluo was able to secure the position of the prince with the case of the attack back then, but after all, it is unpredictable, and it is impossible to say that the emperor is not suspicious at all in that case, even the people have arranged that the prince directed and acted by himself, and Wang Xingping also figured out that it was who benefited the most and who was the most suspicious. There is really no need for Concubine Zheng to do such a thing that has no silver three hundred taels here, but who can know the truth?

At least in Wang An's feelings, since he served as the companion of the East Palace for the past twenty-five years, he has spent much more time with the crown prince than the emperor, and even sometimes has some unrealistic ideas, treating Zhu Changluo as his own son and defending him everywhere.

A small yellow door entered the door and spread through the door, which disturbed the old eunuch's thoughts, and soon Zhang Jiebin and others were invited in.

"Mr. Jingyue, the late-night disturbance is really a last resort, please forgive me." Wang An was quite helpless on his face, and his tone was extremely polite, the prince's pillow people beat each other and were seriously injured, and they might be passed on as a joke outside, but it was a great deal for him, and he was not afraid of the prince's blame, he was really worried that he would be used by someone with a heart to play on the topic, and the good situation that he had finally brought back for the prince by relying on the case of the attack was probably about to be threatened.

Zhang Jiebin had no choice but to be relieved: "On the way here, Mr. Wang also roughly told me that he should do his best. ”

Wang An was about to return the salute, but the corner of his eye hung on Wang Xingping on the side, "Mr. Wang? How are you here. ”

Wang Xingping was not embarrassed, and hurriedly saluted Wang An, but Zhang Jiebin helped him say first, "Tianchengxian's nephew is good at medical science, and he happened to be with me today, and Mr. Wang was in a hurry when he came, so I was afraid that something would be wrong, so I let him come with him." ”

"It's okay, if you still need anything, sir, just say it, I'll do it."

"I don't know where the patient is, but it's important to save people."

Hearing this, Wang An hurriedly beckoned an attendant beside him, "Wei Dynasty, who is on duty with Wang Niangzi today?" ”

"It's Jinzhong...... and Liu Dao. He thought for a moment and replied.

Wang An nodded when he heard this, and the person Wei Chao said behind him knew a little about medical skills, which made him feel a little relieved, "Then you can take the two gentlemen over quickly." ”

When Wang Xingping left, he glanced back at Wang An suspiciously, but immediately understood why the head of Ciqing Palace didn't go over in person.

There are more important things tonight than Wang's injury, and it is only right to block the news than to see a doctor, otherwise he can make things go in an unpredictable direction if he is not careful. And there was such a big event, the prince was neither with Wang An, nor did he seem to accompany Wang Cairen. It is said that the Li family is pampered and coquettish, so it is not completely unreasonable to think that Zhu Changluo is now comforting the frightened murderer in the west.

…………

Walking into the room, a hot warm current hit, and a few pots of charcoal fire that were burning vigorously set off a lot of sparks scattered in the room and quickly decayed because of the disturbance of the air current, and the room was rarely and briefly brightened for a moment, but the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

The maid who was sitting in the room found that someone had lifted the curtain, and quickly rubbed it up like a frightened cat, standing still waiting for it to fall, with a trace of sadness and dazedness in her eyes.

Only two middle-aged 'men' stood next to the innermost bed, one of whom was an acquaintance.

"Father-in-law Liu......" Wang Xingping opened his mouth wide, and the latter words did not come out.

This person's name is Liu Liangxiang, but Wang Xingping's title is obviously not worthy of justice. He has a good relationship with Li Kezhuo, and he is also half of the White Lotus Sect, and he usually only eats vegetarian, so he got the nickname of Liu Dao. I only heard this nickname from people, and for a while Wang Xingping forgot about this person, but now that I think about it, he prides himself on knowing some medical skills, no wonder he is here at night.

The middle-aged man next to him looked like a wolf with hanging eyebrows, thinking that it was another one called Jinzhong as Wei Chao had just said, and he looked like he had a good relationship with this person.

Liu Liang was a little kind when he saw the visitor, but before he could remember, Wei Chao opened his mouth first, "The prince specially invited Mr. Jingyue to come to treat Wang Niangzi. ”

Zhang Jiebin had already glanced at the bed, and arched his hand: "Is Mrs. Wang okay?" ”

Who knew that Liu Liangxiang shook his head silently, "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Zhang Jiebin frowned slightly when he heard this, grabbed a few steps to the bedside, and didn't care that the middle-aged servant called Jinzhong was a little at a loss, and put his hand on the Wang vein first, and suddenly felt like a gossamer.

At this time, Wang Xingping also came up, and saw a woman in her thirties lying on the bed, although her appearance was not very beautiful, her skin was still fair, her body was covered with a thick quilt, and her round face was goose egg, but she didn't see much blood. Combined with what he knew before, he felt that Wang's internal organs were mostly caused by acute blood loss, but if the injury was in the body, he couldn't help if he knew about it, so he stopped talking.

"I'll write a prescription, you can do it quickly, and you can only try it if you succeed or not." Listening to Zhang Jiebin's tone, he didn't seem to be very sure, in fact, Zhang Jiebin knew in his heart that just looking at this face and pulse was a deficiency disease, most of it was an external injury, and it was incurable, and he just had the right to do his best.

When he took up the pen to copy this piece of Fang, Wang Xingping had just experienced a psychological struggle, and after thinking rationally and thinking that it was impossible to save this life, he simply let go and stood behind Zhang Jiebin to look at Fangzi. Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he found that there was a piece of paper on the table, on which was written a line of ink calligraphy.

'I have a grudge against Silee. ’

When he entered the house, Wang Xingping had already seen Liu Liangxiang holding a brush in his hand, most of which was a handwriting, as for what people said, there was no need to guess. Such a vernacular is thought to come from the mouth of the Wang family, and Liu Liangxiang recorded it on his behalf, but if this note is circulated, I am afraid it will not be good.

The so-called West Li, Wang Xingping also knows a little, the prince has two Li Xuan attendants around him, one in the east and one in the west, so the Ciqing Palace is called East Li and West Li to distinguish it. East Li is low-key, and only West Li is the most domineering. But Xi Li has his own domineering truth, who calls others to be favored by Zhu Changluo, the current prince of the Ming Dynasty, Xu is because the matter of Lichu has been suppressed for too long, although he is low-key outside, and he is also a polite corporal when he befriends with foreign ministers, but it is another way to return to his Ciqing Palace.

Shen Defu once told Wang Xingping a secret story, it is rumored that a few years ago, the biological mother of the emperor's grandson Zhu Youzhen, Lady Liu, died under Zhu Changluo's violent attack, and there are rumors among the people that he was forced to commit suicide, and there are also more vicious that Zhu Changluo personally killed him.

His thoughts were only between the lightning and flint, Zhang Jiebin's recipe had just finished writing the first taste of rehmannia roots, but the curtain was lifted again, and another father-in-law came in, he first looked around, and his eyes immediately fell on Zhang Jiebin and Wang Xingping.

"Two gentlemen, my lord invites you to go to the west to talk."
