The sky was shining again.

When the ministers on duty came in this morning, the crown prince had already carefully washed the emperor's face and hands.

"Isn't it time to take medicine?" The minister stepped forward to look at the emperor and saw that the emperor was still asleep and unconscious.

The imperial doctor on duty said: "It's not time yet, there is a imperial doctor at the pharmacy who is boiling." ”

"Hopefully it works." The minister sighed and looked forward to it, "Your Majesty can wake up." ”

Even after waking up, I can only say two words.

Concubine Xu and the princes also came, hearing the minister's talk about medicine, and then looking at the emperor who had not improved, Concubine Xu couldn't help but sit on the edge of the emperor's bed and cry in a low voice.

"." The crown prince said, "Don't disturb Your Majesty. ”

Concubine Xu cried: "If my crying can disturb Your Majesty when you wake up, I am willing to cry day and night." ”

The crown prince frowned at the impact, this woman has been honest for a while, and now when she sees that the emperor has hope to get better, she is arrogant again.

Concubine Xian sighed lightly beside her: "When Dr. Hu was there at the time, it quickly took effect, and now it seems that the pulse is good, who knows, whether it is effective or harmful?" ”

Listening to her words, the expressions of the people in the room were a little complicated, how to say it, what Concubine Xian said also makes sense, Your Majesty's illness is useless, but you can't use medicine indiscriminately, if you die of medicine in the end - it's better to die of illness.

The prince looked at everyone's expressions, lowered his eyes, and said, "Don't talk about this, the medicine has been taken, just believe it." ”

As he spoke, there were footsteps outside, and Zhang Yuanju came in with the imperial doctors, first went to check on the emperor, and then asked the imperial doctor on duty last night what was the condition, and then asked the medicine to be delivered.

"Eat one more day today." "If it doesn't work, I'll adjust it." ”

Some ministers couldn't help but say: "If it doesn't work, forget it, Zhang Yuan sentenced, if you can't cure Your Majesty, everyone won't blame you." ”

Zhang Yuanju looked at him: "If you can't cure Your Majesty, I will blame myself." ”

The minister was immediately annoyed: "You feel good for yourself, you can't toss Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the prince was busy drinking.

At this time, the imperial doctors of the pharmacy also brought the medicine, and the prince stretched out his hand to take it, and was just about to sit on the edge of the bed to feed the medicine, Chu Xiurong, who had been standing quietly behind, said, "Wait." ”

The prince's hand froze, and for a moment he couldn't hide his eyes and looked at him coldly.

The people in the room also looked at him.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang." Chu Xiurong said, "I also think that the medicine should be more cautious." ”

Still questioning him? Zhang Yuan was anxious: "The old minister's medicine will be responsible." As he spoke, he snatched the medicine from the prince's hand.

The prince's hand was still outstretched, and he didn't react, why was the medicine bowl taken away? Yes, that's right, he asked Concubine Xian to lead out this sentence, so that everyone could have a thought, and then turn the finger on Zhang Yuanju.

But has this spearhead been turned too far?

"Master Zhang." The prince hurriedly said, "That's not what everyone meant. Turning his head and scolding Chu Xiurong, "Ah Xiu, don't be rude." ”

He reached out again.

"Lone believes in Lord Zhang, Lone comes to personally feed His Majesty medicine."

Chu Xiurong did not retreat in silence as before, but continued: "Zhang Yuanju, let's take a good look at this medicine, is it the same as Dr. Hu's?" ”

Zhang Yuan said in a good voice: "Then the old man first-" He lowered his head and put the medicine to his mouth, looking like he wanted to drink it.

Is this old lady mad? The people around were busy trying to persuade them, but they saw that Zhang Yuanju's hand stopped, and instead of pouring the medicine in the medicine bowl into his mouth, he put it under his nose and sniffed it, his face changed slightly, and then returned to normal.

"-Then the old man will personally adjust the medicine." He said.

The people around were a little surprised, and a little annoyed, what do you mean? Is the medicine made by this old guy really unreliable? It even had to be adjusted temporarily.

At this time, the other courtiers also came, and they all lost their faces when they heard this.

"Zhang Yuan's judgment! Did you make it? ”

"Are you taking your majesty to test the medicine?"

"It's ridiculous!"

But in the face of the accusations of the ministers, Zhang Yuanju did not refute it, and only looked at the imperial doctors: "Let's discuss it together." "I asked again, who is on duty at the pharmacy today, who is on duty here, no matter who is on duty, they will all go together-

The prince didn't speak this time, his eyes swept over the people in the room, and he looked at a doctor standing behind him, the doctor's face turned pale, and the prince shook his head slightly at him, although because of an accident, Zhang Yuanju found that there was a problem with the medicine, but don't worry, now he is the big one in this palace, and what can Zhang Yuanju find.

It's a pity that I can only think of other ways, and before the latest medicine is fed to His Majesty, otherwise the medicine will really work, and it will be even more difficult to do.

The prince stood where he was, looking at the noisy arguing people, unconcerned, wandering out until a voice rang in his ears.

"What's wrong with this medicine?"

The voice was not loud, nor was it an angry accusation, but a calm and even somewhat curious inquiry.

But when the prince heard it, it was like a thunderbolt falling from the top of his head, and he was out of his body.

"Yes, that's right, what's wrong with this medicine?"

Someone in the room heard it and asked about it.

But this time no more people echoed him, and the voices fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked to the bedside.

Because the prince was going to feed the medicine, Concubine Xu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and crying, got out of the way, and now there are only the standing prince by the bed, and the Jinzhong eunuch who is standing.

At this time, the prince was stunned, and the eunuch Jinzhong leaned over into the bed and helped a man up, his movements were very slow, as if he was holding a fragile porcelain.

The emperor's pale face slowly appeared in everyone's sight, and his gaze also swept over everyone and fell on Zhang Yuanju.

"What's wrong with this medicine?" He asked again, "I was allowed to eat it a few times before, but I won't be allowed to eat it this time?" ”

The crown prince knelt down with a puff and choked up and shouted, "Father-"

This sound of the father made everyone in the room come back to their senses, and the cry of kneeling on the ground and the cry of Concubine Xu completely letting go almost toppled the roof.

The people around the emperor's dormitory were shocked when they heard it, and looked at each other, did the emperor die?

More people are running this way.

But the emperor's bedroom was under martial law, and everyone was stopped outside, and they could only listen to more and more cries in the hall.

......

......

"Your Majesty." With tears on their faces, several old ministers knelt down to the bedside, "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up." ”

The Emperor watched them reach over and shook their outstretched hands one by one: "Yes, I have woken up, and everyone is worried." ”

Although his breath was still a little weak, his voice was clear and his words were calm, and there was no doubt that he was really awake, not when he could only say two words like he used to be, and His Majesty sat up.

The courtiers wept again with joy: "Announce this good news to the world." ”

The emperor raised his hand and waved: "This is not in a hurry for the time being, I have something to solve first-Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”

Everyone was stunned, gradually quieted down, and looked at Zhang Yuanju.

Zhang Yuanju knelt in the corner, the courtiers squeezed over excitedly, the princesses and princesses all got out of the way, and the imperial doctors naturally retreated.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang." The emperor pointed to the bowl of medicine he was still holding in his hand, "What's wrong with this medicine?" Why don't you feed me? ”

This is the third time the emperor has asked this, and no matter how stupid people are, they should understand that there is a problem.

Zhang Yuanju leaned over and said: "This bowl of medicine has been replaced by a single medicine, so it has no effect at all, and it is harmful to Your Majesty." ”

What the!

There was silence in the dormitory, and then many ministers stood up, "How is this possible?" "Who is it?" Asked in a lost voice.

"His Majesty didn't wake up before, and the old minister didn't dare to make a noise, so he concealed it and prepared to take someone back to investigate." Zhang Yuanju said, holding up the medicine bowl, "Now that Your Majesty is awake, please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

The emperor hummed: "Jinzhong, check." ”

Eunuch Jinzhong bowed his head and responded.

.....

.....

Because of the major matter involving the murder of the emperor, everyone did not leave, waiting for the results of the thorough investigation, and at the same time it was thoroughly investigated, and everyone who appeared here was suspicious.

The joy of the Emperor's awakening was replaced by the shock of the murder of the Emperor, and the courtiers looked solemn, some sat in silence, some talked in low voices.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was even more tense than when the emperor was seriously ill.

The concubines were still able to express their emotions wantonly, Concubine Xian fed the emperor a bowl of soup, and Concubine Xu sat on the edge of the bed and cried the whole time.

"Alright." The emperor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, frowned, and said, "You come to cry in my ears every day, and my ears are calloused when you cry." ”

Concubine Xu cried even louder when she heard this: "Your Majesty." Grabbing the emperor's sleeve and refusing to let go, "Sure enough, the cry of the concubine can wake up His Majesty, and the concubine will say it." ”

The emperor laughed: "What words." "Look at the others," I had woken up a long time ago, but I was only able to speak yesterday. ”

The others were surprised again when they heard it, and the emperor had already woken up? What does it mean to be able to speak yesterday, but hide it from everyone?

Thinking of the medicine taken by the emperor today, it was changed-

The emperor looked at everyone's surprised expressions and smiled: "Also, since I first fell ill, I haven't actually been in a coma, but I can't open my eyes or speak, but I can always hear it, and my heart is clear. ”

Everyone stood up in surprise, Concubine Xu stopped crying, and the sitting prince's face became even more ugly.

"I can hear what has happened these days, what you have done, what you have argued about." The emperor said, and his voice was astringent when he said this, "My Jin Yao—"

The prince knelt down and choked up: "The son is incompetent, please punish my father." ”

And all the people in the room knelt down and prostrated their heads.

The Emperor seemed to look at them, but he didn't seem to look.

"Impotence is not necessarily sin." He said slowly, "But—"

Before he could finish his words, the eunuch Jinzhong came in with the janissaries and threw one of the imperial doctors on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the person who changed the medicine has been found." He said.

The emperor's gaze came over and looked at the imperial doctor, this was a very inconspicuous imperial doctor, he had never seen it.

"Why are you harming me?" The emperor asked.

The imperial doctor trembled on the ground: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister, the criminal minister has no choice, and the criminal minister is also coerced-"

The emperor's face was expressionless: "Who coerced you to murder me?" ”

The imperial doctor didn't seem to dare to speak, and was lightly kicked in the waist by the eunuch Jinzhong, screamed like a pig, and shrunk into a ball on the ground.

"I said, I said, it's the prince, it's the prince—"
