Sihan frowned, his expression was distant, and he did not speak immediately.

Zhan Wenyi raised his eyes and stared at her again, hesitated for a moment, and continued to slow down: "The national teacher's medical skills are excellent, with the national teacher by the emperor's side, the emperor will be fine, the eldest princess can rest assured."

His tone was gentle, mixed with a little undisguised relief, but when these words entered Sihan's ears, they did not loosen the worry in her heart.

The national teacher's medical skills are indeed speechless, but it is just an ordinary high fever, but even the national teacher cannot treat the high fever in a few days, so presumably the high fever is naturally not an ordinary high fever.

In addition, during the march a few days ago, she inexplicably received the mysterious note, and this time, suddenly, she also inexplicably thought of the content of the note again, so she felt complicated and worried.

Now in this world, in addition to Tanglin, her own young brother is the person she cares about the most, if something goes wrong with her young emperor, the backbone that has always forced her to be strong and brave may also break and collapse.

"Hongu knows. This place will be troubled by the emperor first, and the palace will return to the palace first. After a moment of silence, Sihan came back to his senses slightly, and only after forcibly pressing his mind did he reply to Zhan Wenyi.

Zhan Wenyi nodded slowly, lowered his eyes, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the eldest princess."

When these words came into his ears, Sihan responded lightly, and then did not delay, immediately lowered the curtain, and immediately let the guards of the royal car drive forward.

It was only a moment, the carriage was bumpy and swaying again, and it was not far ahead, and suddenly, a uniform voice rose up, "Weichen greets the eldest princess." ”

Sihan looked distant, only sat in the car and replied a few words, but did not show up, and the carriage that sat down also galloped forward, and after a short time, it stopped outside the palace gate.

"Eldest princess, the palace gate has arrived." The guards of the imperial chariot spoke respectfully and carefully.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he didn't delay, and when he got off the carriage quickly, he saw that Zheqian was also helped out of the carriage by the guards.

"Sister Huang." When his gaze swept to Sihan, he suddenly called meekly and respectfully, and then raised his foot to approach Sihan.

When he stood still in front of him, Sihan glanced at his pale and fragile face, and said slowly: "Let's go to the emperor's bedroom first, in the past two days, the emperor is having a high fever and feeling unwell, and the national teacher is also waiting in his bedroom." When you arrive at the emperor's bedroom, I will ask the national teacher to treat you. ”

Zheqian's face changed suddenly, and there was a little consternation and anxiety in his pupils, "The emperor is sick?" ”

Sihan nodded, "Let's talk as we go, let's go in first." ”

As soon as her voice fell, when she saw Zheqian nodding, she ordered the guards to help Zheqian up, and then took the lead in walking towards the palace gate.

Several people walked very fast, and soon they arrived at the young emperor's bedroom.

Mama Zhou, who was waiting outside the hall, suddenly changed her expression, greeted her with surprise on her face, and bowed down with relief.

Sihan helped Mama Zhou a little, and when Mama Zhou stood up straight, she said with a slight tightening of her voice: "This palace heard that the emperor has a high fever that does not go away, so I will go first to take a look."

Mama Zhou nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly wanted to lead Sihan forward, but her eyes accidentally swept to Zheqian behind Sihan, and in an instant, her eyes froze, and her face was shocked.

Zheqian took the opportunity to look at Mama Zhou, and called gently as usual, "Mama Zhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mama Zhou came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly, and saw Zheqian's empty sleeve waving in the wind while her eyes moved, and her shocked face, which had eased slightly, became more and more stunned.

"The Hand ...... of the Three Princes"

She subconsciously shook out, and as soon as the words arrived here, she felt that this straightforward question must be poking Zheqian's sore spot, so that she hurriedly choked on the words that came to her mouth.

Zheqian's face was inconvenient, and the whole person said to Mama Zhou generously: "This hand was cut off by the people of Tanglin on the side of the Qujiang River in the Great Zhou. Fortunately, with the care and recuperation of the royal sister, now my hand is no longer hindered. ”

Mama Zhou's pupils shrank, and her whole body tightened, but she said how could it be okay, suddenly she was missing a hand, and the sleeve was hanging so empty, this Zheqian was also guilty.

Mama Zhou frowned, and there were a few words of comfort and persuasion in her heart, but after weighing her identity and importance, she finally completely suppressed the words in her heart, just nodded towards Zheqian, and then turned around and led Sihan and the others to move forward quickly.

At this time, the young emperor's dormitory was silent. But as soon as Mama Zhou pushed the door of the hall open, a strong smell of medicine emanated from the hall.

Sihan frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked in, and the first person he saw was the national teacher who was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch.

Xu was disturbed by the sound of pushing the door, and the person on the soft couch opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Sihan clearly, his pupils were calm, and his complexion remained unchanged at all, and then his lips opened, and Chao Sihan said calmly, "Are you back?" ”

Sihan stepped straight inside, and when he stood in front of him, he had slowly gotten off the soft couch, raised his head slightly, and stared at her calmly.

"How is the emperor?" Sihan didn't delay, and asked.

The national teacher said slowly: "I just took the medicine, and now I am asleep." Although the high fever came dangerously, it was finally slightly controlled, and after a few more days of recuperation, it would be fine. ”

Sihan's face was mixed, and she didn't speak, and when the tail of the national teacher fell, she turned around and walked towards the inner hall, and when she bypassed the screen, completely entered the inner hall and stood in front of the young emperor's couch, she saw that the young emperor's cheeks were red, his lips were chapped and white, and his eyes were tight and closed.

She frowned more and more, really distressed, and after staring at him for a while, she then reached out and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and when everything was finished, she turned her eyes to look at Zheqian who came with her, and said in a low voice: "He is sleeping soundly, let's go out first."

Zheqian nodded, and there was a little distress on his slightly immature face.

Sihan glanced at his face, and he knew it in his heart. Zheqian and the young emperor have always had a very good relationship, and now that the young emperor has a high fever and sleeps, it is natural for Zheqian to be moved. It's just that I don't know how to react when my younger brother wakes up and sees that Zheqian has lost an arm, at that time, my own younger brother, can you blame her Yan Sihan for failing to protect Zheqian?

After all, she is also clear about her younger brother's temperament, and she is also fully aware of her younger brother's maintenance of Concubine Shu and Zheqian.

Thoughts were churning, and for a while, his face sank a little.

When he and Zheqian went out of the inner hall, they saw that the national teacher was sitting on the soft couch, and the deep and distant pupils fell quietly towards the two of them.

"It's just a fever, why is it that the emperor has a fever this time, and even the national teacher himself has been treated for a few days, but he hasn't seen a complete improvement? But this time the emperor's high fever is very abnormal, different from ordinary high fever? ”

Standing in front of the national teacher, Sihan asked straight to the point.

She was finally suspicious and cautious in her heart, after all, ordinary high fever, once the silver needle is combined with medicine, it will be easy to get rid of the disease, and the medical skills of the national teacher are also extremely good, and the treatment of high fever is just a trivial matter, how can this small matter now become a tricky thing that has not improved for several days in a row?

"It's different. If you have a common high fever, you can be cured by taking a piece of medicine, but if it is a high fever caused by Gu poison, in the absence of an antidote, you can't rashly use needles to use medicine, you have to explore slowly, and you can't rush it. ”

Before Sihan's last note fell, the national teacher replied calmly and distantly.

Sihan's pupils trembled, and his voice twitched, "Gu poison? ”

The national teacher nodded to himself, "A few days ago, I was busy with Tanglin state affairs, and I was a little lax in controlling the emperor. A few days later, he suddenly had a high fever and was dangerous, and I knew that it was caused by Gu poison, but I didn't make a public announcement about it, only saying that he suffered from the wind and cold and the high fever did not go away, and he completely replaced all the palace slaves and the royal forest army serving in this dormitory, leaving a Zhou Mama here, so that she could keep it alive. ”

Sihan listened carefully, her face was also mixed, she forcibly pressed her heart, and asked in a low voice: "The national teacher is suspicious, and there are evil people hidden around the emperor?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, the young emperor is now growing up in the Forbidden Palace, surrounded by palace slaves at any time, and the Imperial Forest Army and secret guards are escorted, if others want to get close to him and poison him, it is not easy, but if the people around him want to harm him, it is undoubtedly easy. ”

Is it?

In this way, in the past, someone had been close to his younger brother in secret, and even harbored evil intentions, although he could be ruthless to his younger brother from time to time? If this time it is not for the national teacher in Beijing, and the young emperor is treated in time, otherwise, his younger brother will not be treated by ordinary imperial doctors as a cold and high fever, if this is the case, his younger brother's life, wouldn't it be in jeopardy, and even before she can return to Kyoto, his younger brother's life will be in danger?

The more I thought about it, the more my heart trembled and fluctuated, and a sense of fear and shock spread wantonly in my heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, there is a national teacher in Beijing, and fortunately, the Gu poison on his young emperor was discovered in time, otherwise, the consequences would not have been predictable.

Her pupils fluctuated, complicated, and for a moment, she couldn't speak.

After the surrounding atmosphere was silent for a long time, she came back to her senses slightly, and after forcibly pressing her mind, she said in a tight voice: "After the national teacher found out that the emperor was poisoned, he only changed all the people around the emperor?" Can you torture those who are with you to find out the real murderer? ”

The national teacher shook his head, his expression was distant and silent, "Those who served with him were all imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and they were severely tortured every day, and they all denied it at all. ”

Sihan frowned, and his face became more and more complicated.

The national teacher glanced at her, and didn't say much, just moved his gaze slightly, and looked at Zheqian beside Sihan who had not spoken, and half of the extremely rare complexity gradually appeared on the face of the fairy wind bone.

Zheqian's expression moved slightly, and he bowed down to the national teacher very respectfully, "Zheqian greets the national teacher." ”

His tone is slow, his movements are extremely polite, but he is well-behaved and docile, and no one can pick out the thorns.

When these words came into his ears, Sihan remembered Zheqian, and immediately forcibly pressed his heart, and said to the national teacher: "The emperor's poisonous body has to be troubled by the national teacher." In addition, Zheqian fought viciously with the people of Tanglin on the side of the Qujiang River, was hit by an arrow in the shoulder blade, and broke an arm. I also bother you with the national teacher, and I am a good student for Zheqian's diagnosis and treatment. ”

Although this was polite, as soon as her voice fell, she pushed Zheqian to sit next to the national teacher without waiting for the national teacher's reaction.

Zheqian was slightly restrained, and after quickly glancing at the national teacher, he looked at Sihan with a little worry, and stopped talking, but finally did not speak.

"The third prince will raise his hand out, and I will take the pulse for you." At this time, the national teacher did not refuse, but only spoke calmly.

This voice really has no rise or float, it doesn't seem to be mixed with any emotions, and the tone is still full of fairy wind bones, which really makes people listen to it generally, and it is impossible to guess his emotions from his words.

Zheqian subconsciously sat upright and hurriedly stretched out his hand respectfully.

The national teacher did not delay, his fingertips poked slightly, and it happened to fall on Zheqian's pulse, and after checking the pulse, he withdrew his fingertips and said calmly: "Although the pulse of the third prince is weak, it is not too weak. The injuries on his body do not seem to have deteriorated, on the contrary, he has been sleeping in the open all the way, and the wounds are still gradually improving. ”

His words were extremely straightforward, but because he was too straightforward, coupled with his indifferent tone, for a while, it seemed that this blurted out continued to be weird.

The corners of Sihan's eyes were slightly raised, but he did not speak.

Zheqian hung his head very meekly and said respectfully: "Thank you for the diagnosis and treatment of the national teacher."

"Thank you, you don't have to. The third prince is also a royal person, and I should treat you as well. It's just that the journey should be extremely tiring, but the third prince will go back to the dormitory to rest first, and then the old woman will explain the emperor's affairs to the eldest princess, and then write a recipe for the people in the imperial dining room to grab the medicine and boil the medicine, and after boiling, they will be sent to the third prince's dormitory for you to take? ”

Zheqian was taken off guard for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded respectfully.

After getting up a little slowly, he turned his eyes to look at Sihan, his pale and slightly immature face was a little lonely, and then he bent over and bowed, and said respectfully: "Imperial sister, the younger brother will go out first." Sister Wanghuang instructed to go down, if the emperor woke up, he would send someone to the minister's brother's dormitory to inform him, and at that time, the courtier's brother would come to visit the emperor again. ”

Sihan nodded.

Zheqian did not delay any longer, and was helped away by two guards standing in the corner of the hall.

After he was completely out of the palace door, Mama Zhou carefully closed the palace door again, and for a while, the surrounding atmosphere also sank, and the huge dormitory suddenly seemed a little depressed and empty.

Sihan was silent for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did the national teacher take Zheqian away so quickly?"

She asked bluntly.

After all, his wounds are still painful all day long, and he has never used any high-grade injury medicine along the way, and the pain has penetrated into the flesh and bones, which has made him suffer all the way.

"The third prince once stationed 60,000 mercenaries on the side of the Qujiang River without permission, and he is bound to be allied with Tanglin, and he has a great heart of rebellion, that is, the prodigal son turned back, which is extremely pitiful, and you shouldn't have taken the liberty of taking him back to Kyoto, and even brought him back to the palace."

It was only a moment, and the national teacher spoke out calmly.

Sihan said in a low voice: "You also said that it was the prodigal son who turned back, in this way, Zheqian can turn back the prodigal son, and it is also commendable, besides, the national teacher Xu does not know that Zheqian's full body of injuries was fallen to kill the enemy of Dongling, just talk about his heart of killing the enemy and protecting the country, the palace must also bring him back to the palace to recuperate."

"Those who turn back as a prodigal son, as long as they have grievances and hatred in their hearts, may eventually turn into evil ghosts."

"Zheqian will not. If Zheqian turned into an evil ghost, he would have melted on the edge of the Qujiang River. Now he is just a poor man, the national teacher is willing to treat his injuries, he will treat it, if he is not willing to treat, the palace can also send the imperial doctor to recuperate for him. Sihan was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice.

Her tone was slightly resolute, and as soon as these words came out, the national teacher frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Although the third prince is a little immature, he is fifteen years old, and he understands all kinds of thoughts. In addition, he grew up humbly in the palace since he was a child, and he has been depressed, such a person, there are more things in his heart than ordinary people, and once his heart is out, he is out of control. ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "You are still too kind-hearted, and you must eventually know that as a person in charge of a country, even if you have benevolence in your heart, you must not be benevolent." 醢"

Sihan's expression fluctuated, and for a while, he didn't speak.

The national teacher naturally thinks about the overall situation, after all, Zheqian finally moved the heart of rebellion a few days ago, and in accordance with the intention of the national teacher, he should also cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but unfortunately, Zheqian is a living life, and even has been struggling on the edge of humility, he has never done any evil in his life, that is, he rebelled a few days ago, and he has turned back, and even at the cost of his life to be the enemy of Tanglin, even if he broke an arm.

She clearly remembered that when Zheqian and Tanglin were enemies, she never thought about life, it was a kind of desperate desperate fight, if she hadn't desperately pulled him on the cliff, if it hadn't been for Lan Yeyu to find an antidote, Zheqian would have been a desperate one.

Yes, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe that Zheqian, who had experienced these hideous life and death, would still have a rebellious heart, even if he was still angry about Concubine Shu's death, but she believed in him, and believed that he would not attack her and Tanglin because of this.

The more I thought about it, the more determined my heart became.

The national teacher stared at her for a long time, and finally slowly moved his gaze away from her, and said slowly and distantly: "You are now the eldest princess of Tanglin, there are some things that you have your own opinions, I can't interject too much, just remind it is still extremely necessary, after all, as a tiger wolf, even if you go to his claws, you will still bite." If you really can't bear Zheqian, then send him to the palace for recuperation on the grounds of self-cultivation, and then send his henchmen to guard the palace, so as not to let him have another incident. ”

Sihan was silent for a moment, weighed it, and finally nodded.
