Chapter 277: Finding the Jade Seal
I'm still alive, where did you get the confidence to say it's yours, ah? What are you not usurping? Son! The emperor pounded the bed and scolded, because he was so excited, his eyes rolled up.
These days, the emperor often gets angry at every turn, but he has never been angry like this, the prince's heart suddenly lifted in the air, and his fingers clenched into fists.
The emperor's throat clicked, and he caught a glimpse of the prince just standing next to him, not saying anything about it, and that look, he wished he was going to die immediately, and when he landed, there was a sweet smell in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crown prince stepped forward, clenched his fists tightly, and said the words, "Father, where is the jade seal?" ”
The Emperor pointed at him, rolled his eyes up, screamed, and fainted.
The prince stood by the bed for a long time, his mind was blank, thinking for a while, he died, he died like this, the emperor's position is mine, and then thought, no, he can't die yet, I haven't got the jade seal yet.
Just as he was at a loss, a person suddenly ran in from outside and shouted, "Your Highness, let the old minister come and show the emperor." ”
The prince recognized it as the national teacher, woke up like a dream, took a step out of the way, and his throat was dry, "Look at it." ”
The emperor's illness caused chaos in the hospital.
On that day, the national teacher took the emperor's pulse, only until the pulse was disordered and extremely weak, but there was no specific illness, so he called the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to check, and the result was the same, but the emperor just didn't wake up.
The prince's temper became more and more irritable day by day, and he kicked over the chair in front of him, and his face twisted, "You say it again, what the hell is going on?" ”
The imperial doctor trembled, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor's pulse is really strange, and there is no special illness. ”
"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?!" The prince roared.
The imperial doctor complained bitterly, and the emperor didn't wake up, how did he know. But he couldn't answer like this, so he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and said, "Xu is, Xu is too weak." ”
The prince threw away the imperial doctor and walked back and forth in the hall like a trapped beast. In the end, it was the national teacher who came to relieve the siege.
"Your Highness, the old minister has something to say."
The prince glanced at a group of imperial doctors with red eyes, raised his feet and walked out first.
"What's going on?" As soon as he arrived at a place where there was no one, the prince asked directly.
The national teacher organized the following language, "The imperial doctor is right, the emperor is indeed not seriously ill, but for some reason, he just can't wake up." ”
What he wanted to say in his heart was that he was probably angry with the prince, but in front of the prince, he couldn't say this.
The prince's expression was uncertain.
"Then what should I do now, Prince Ben doesn't have so much time to wait for him to wake up, in case he dies like this, wouldn't my arrangement for so long become a joke." The prince kicked over the stool on the side angrily, his eyes staring at the national teacher tightly, "You asked me to serve and influence him, and now that things have become like this, you are talking!" ”
The crown prince has always shown kindness outside, and only those who are familiar with him know that he is actually very irritable on the inside, and he likes to vent his anger, and now he will not be angry with the head of the national teacher.
But the national teacher was very calm, "Your Highness, this is not a bad thing. ”
"What did you say?"
"Since the emperor is destined not to give you the jade seal, there is no need to wait any longer, why don't you find it yourself?" The national teacher made a suggestion.
After the prince weighed it, he felt that this was the best way at the moment, his eyes were gloomy, "Okay, this prince will find it himself, I don't believe it, that thing can go to heaven and earth!" ”
The emperor's bedroom was quiet, only one palace maid was guarding outside, and when she saw the prince coming, she hurriedly saluted, "Say hello to the prince." ”
The crown prince waved his hand, looked inside, and asked expressionlessly, "How is the situation of my father?" ”
The palace maid replied nervously, "Your Majesty is still the same, and I haven't woken up for a day today." ”
"Hmm" the prince lifted the curtain and strode in. On the dragon bed, the emperor lay quietly, his face was sallow, and he looked like he was in his last years. Rao is how he called for wind and rain when he was young, and when he was old, he was no different from most ordinary old people.
The prince was silent for a long time, and finally murmured, "Father, you forced me to do this, and my son didn't want to." ”
The Emperor did not react. The prince took a breath, called all the people who were waiting outside, and commanded with an expressionless face, "Search me carefully!" ”
A group of people scattered in the dormitory and began to search in a carpet and dense manner. Normally, there was no order from the emperor in the emperor's dormitory, and no one could come in, but now, the Ninety-Five Emperor was lying on the dragon bed sickly, and he could no longer give orders. Even so, the guards still didn't dare to look at the dragon bed, only lowered their heads, and did their own thing with all their hearts.
The prince paced outside the door, and the national teacher was standing under the eaves of the porch, and neither of them spoke. After a while, it was raining on a sunny day.
"Your Highness, it's raining." The national teacher looked up at the gray sky in an instant.
The prince answered, a little uneasy.
The national teacher stretched out his hand and motioned for the prince to go to the pavilion next to him to sit and rest, and said with relief, "The prince relaxes." ”
"Where can Prince Ben relax." The prince had a straight face, full of depression.
The national teacher instructed someone to cook some hot soup, while comforting the prince, "The old minister knows what the prince is worried about, but there is no need to worry about this matter. ”
The crown prince was silent for a long time before sighing leisurely, "This prince thinks that my father may not have put the jade seal in the palace. ”
"Oh?" The national teacher turned his head to look at him.
The prince pursed his lips and said irritably, "Prince Ben doesn't know why, he always feels that things won't be so simple. ”
"Then just wait." At this time, the hot soup came up, and the national teacher personally served a cup to the prince, "The prince has some soup." ”
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a faint tendency to continue the day. The prince was playing with the soup cup in his hand, looking at the rain and mist, a little distracted. The national teacher didn't bother him, and drank the soup leisurely.
At the same time, the prince's men almost turned the emperor's bedroom over.
"Did you find it?" One guard asked the other.
The man shook his head, "No." ”
The previous one said with a sad face, "If you can't find this, how can you report it." ”
The prince is moody these days, his temper is very difficult to serve, and if he is not careful, he may be blamed.
"You said such an important thing, doesn't the emperor know? I think Your Majesty must have hidden it in a very secluded place. ”
When they were chatting, no one noticed that the fingers of the person on the dragon bed moved slightly. The emperor listened to the earth-shattering rummaging sound in his ears, and his heart was not angry, but he no longer had the strength to be angry. As the Son of Heaven, he was forced into this situation by his own son.
If he didn't give him the jade seal, he would rummage through it himself. From ancient times to the present, I have never seen such a rebel!
The more angry the emperor became, the more calm his whole person became, and he even analyzed the current situation outside in his mind in an orderly manner.
Because of being watched, the emperor has not been exposed to outside information for many days, and only heard about the imprisonment of the king of Chu on that day, and yes, the prince wants to force the palace, and the king of Chu is naturally not happy, if he does not imprison him, do you find an enemy for yourself?
Also, the Queen's side too.
If it weren't for the collusion between the queen and the prince, the prince's plan would not have been able to go so smoothly, and he would not have been able to pass the harem level, let alone talk about many things behind.
It's a pity that he was blind at the time, and he actually helped the poisonous woman to the throne.
The emperor's only hope now is Xie Yutang, that day Chi Wan came over, he originally had a lot to say, such as the current situation, such as the situation outside, such as their plans, but the national teacher came too early, and they didn't have time at all. As a last resort, I could only write a few words of the imperial study on the other party's hand, hoping that Chi Wan would understand.
The emperor was analyzing various situations on his side, and the crown prince did not stop, he kept looking towards the emperor's bedroom, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Why haven't you come out yet?" ”
"Your Highness, don't be impatient." The national teacher is still the same sentence.
The crown prince was restless, got up and sat down for a while, and the national teacher was dizzy by him, and sighed, "Your Highness, let's talk about the next thing." ”
"Before finding the jade seal, Prince Ben didn't want to talk about anything. If you can't find it in the dormitory, where do you find it? ”
The national teacher pondered for a while, "It's better to wait for the guards to come back and talk about it." ”
At the beginning, the target was placed in the dormitory, which was the result of their discussion together, and both of them felt that the jade seal was most likely in the dormitory.
After all, the prince had accidentally bumped into it once before, and besides, when he knew that the prince was going to rebel, the emperor naturally kept it close to him.
"I knew that I should have gone to get the jade seal in the first place." The crown prince rubbed his eyebrows with some annoyance, they had been delayed for so long, and the emperor had already had time to transfer.
The national teacher touched his chin, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it wasn't so easy to take at first." ”
At this time, there were footsteps hurrying in this direction, and the prince stood up with a swish, staring at the people who ran over, "How is it?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, all the dormitories have been searched, and no jade seal has been found."
The prince's face suddenly sank, but he didn't expect that they were all mistaken. If you are not in the dormitory, where will it be?
"Are you sure you're looking carefully?" The prince was still unwilling.
The guard said with trepidation, "Sure, every corner has been found." ”
The crown prince frowned tightly, and suddenly thought, "Will the father and emperor take it with him?" ”
The national teacher shook his head and denied this conjecture, "These days, the clothes are all palace maids, if you really bring them on your body, there is no reason why you won't be discovered." ”
"Under the bed, under the pillow? Have you gone looking for it? The prince's eyes were like torches.
The guards are scattered, that kind of place, how dare they, as subordinates, move.
What else did he not understand about this look, the prince snorted coldly and strode forward, "This prince will go to find it himself!" ”
The unconscious emperor was pulled aside by the anxious prince, and it was easy to find the place where he slept, but unfortunately, nothing was found. The crown prince stared at the emperor's face and gritted his teeth, "Where is the jade seal?" ”
But no matter how much he asked, the unconscious man could not answer his question.
"Prince, calm down, let's think of another way."
