Chapter 220: A Kingdom Shall Not Be Without a King for a Day
Ji Yunsen was waiting outside the secret passage, and when he saw Jiang Changxi coming with Ji Yunlin, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess." ”
"Lord Ji." Jiang Changxi walked out of the dark passage and returned a salute.
"Princess, please go with Yunlin, the prince has already arranged everything, but I didn't expect someone to dare to attack the emperor." Ji Yunsen said vaguely, but Jiang Changxi could still guess the general meaning. What surprised her was that Han Weiqi had arranged all this in advance.
"Lord Wang, did you really go to the southern border?" Before leaving, Jiang Changxi couldn't help but ask.
"According to the news given by the prince, the prince has indeed gone to the south." As for whether this news was true or another fog bomb, he didn't know.
Jiang Changxi understood, thanked him, went to the next door with Ji Yunlin to change his clothes, and got into a carriage parked at the back door of Ji Mansion.
Turning around a few streets, Jiang Changxi looked out through the gap in the car curtain. This is clearly not the way to the palace.
Jiang Changxi was puzzled in his heart, and glanced at Ji Yunlin, who was sitting opposite her.
Ji Yunlin seemed to understand what she was thinking, nodded and said: "The emperor is unconscious, the palace is in the hands of the queen mother, if the princess enters the palace directly, it will definitely attract the attention of many parties." Therefore, the prince's arrangement is to invite the princess to enter the palace through the secret passage of the hidden guard. ”
"This hidden guard secret passage can go directly to the emperor's bedroom?" The secret passage of the hidden guard should be a very important secret passage for the royal family. It is not unusual for Han Weici to know the location of this secret passage, it is strange that Han Weici actually told Ji Yunlin about such an important place?
Speaking of this, Ji Yunlin was a little shy, and the shy young man still had the appearance in her memory, "It's all about the eldest brother and the long-term blessing." Ji Yunlin actually knew very well the reason why Han Weici trusted him so much, especially Jiang Changyuan, no matter how he said it, it was Han Weici's eldest brother.
"It's the eldest brother, I didn't know that he had a good relationship with the prince." When he knew that his eldest brother Ji Yunsen had secretly dug a secret passage in his room, and he had also hidden the Nanxiang King and his wife, who had already left for the north, in the secret passage, he was stunned, okay.
Jiang Changxi didn't know either. However, she has always ignored her friendship in officialdom. She believes that Han Weici has been in the position of King Nanxiang for so long, and has her own set of ways of doing things, and she doesn't need to pretend to understand and point fingers at him.
Han Weiqi has always acted prudently, he dared to let Ji Yunlin send Jiang Changxi into the palace, so he naturally made all the arrangements so that Jiang Changxi could pass through the secret passage safely.
Although the hidden guard secret path is not as direct as Jiang Changxi thought, it is not much worse. Ji Yunlin here is also the first time to come, but Han Weiqi has said hello, and there are people in the secret passage who are answering them, leading them to the secret passage under the emperor's bedroom.
"I've seen the princess, Second Prince Ji." At the end of the secret passage, there was a little eunuch guarding him, who recognized Jiang Changxi and Ji Yunlin, and said, "The slave is the little plum who runs an errand under Gonggong Lu." Gonggong Lu asked the servant to tell the princess that the queen mother and the concubine came to see the emperor, and their identities were exposed, and the princess was asked to wait here for a while. ”
"The Queen Mother and Concubine Liu are here?" Ji Yunlin looked in the direction of the top of his head, with a solemn expression, "Did the third prince come along?" ”
"Back to the second prince of Ji, the third prince has never come with the Queen Mother Liu Guifei. Since the emperor fell into a coma, the three princes have been much more diligent in running to the emperor, and it is indispensable to set the province every morning and dusk. Xiao Lizi replied.
Just when Xiao Lizi was talking about some changes in the palace for Jiang Changxi and Ji Yunlin, outside the secret passage, in the emperor's bedroom, looking at the emperor who had been in a coma, Empress Dowager Liu's face was solemn, and she asked the imperial doctor with a little anxiety, "What can't you see?" How many days has it been? The emperor is still unconscious, but you can't even find out the cause and effect. The imperial court spends so much money every year to raise a bunch of waste?! ”
"The ministers are incompetent, and I ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins." The Imperial Physician was kneeling on the ground, pleading guilty.
"The mourners don't want to listen to the nonsense that you guys don't have. The mourning family wants you to give a word, do you have a way to save the emperor? Or if there is another recommendation, who can save the emperor? Empress Dowager Liu sat on the chaise longue slumped, holding her forehead with one hand, looking very headache, "The country cannot be without a king for a day." In the previous dynasty, there were many state affairs waiting for the emperor to deal with, and the war in the south had just started, and the emperor was also waiting for the emperor to preside over the overall situation. If you have a way to save the emperor, the mourning family will definitely be rewarded! ”
Concubine Liu stayed in front of the emperor's bed, looking at the emperor, but in fact, her ears were pricked up, listening to the conversation between the Empress Dowager Liu and the imperial doctor, and she was secretly proud in her heart.
The emperor is not an ordinary poison, where can these ordinary people be easily solved. As long as the emperor's poison is incomprehensible and he remains unconscious, their big things can be achieved sooner or later.
As long as her son ascends the throne, she will be the biological mother Queen Mother, the old woman of the queen, without a son, without rights, without the support of the emperor, I see how arrogant you can be.
Secretly happy in her heart, Concubine Liu's mind had already flown away, and she didn't notice that the imperial doctor was trembling and saying a name after Empress Dowager Liu shouted angrily, Jiang Changxi.
As for Jiang Changxi in the secret passage, he couldn't hear the movement on their side, and there was no way to know at all, because of the mention of the imperial doctor, the Empress Dowager Liu and her group sped up a lot of movements, causing the emperor to be in a coma The matter was known to some ministers, and they chased them to the palace to inquire on the same day.
Of course, that's all for later.
After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, Empress Dowager Liu's face changed when everyone didn't notice it, and she frowned a little embarrassedly, "But Princess Nanxiang went to the north with King Nanxiang on the third day of the first month, and now I go to chase it, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" ”
"It does take time to go back and forth, but the emperor's illness can't be delayed, and the queen mother is asked to think twice." Now Jiang Changxi is the only chance to let him live and be exempt from punishment, and the imperial doctor who did not dare to look up at the face of the Queen Mother is persuading the Empress Dowager Liu.
Empress Dowager Liu's face is like a palette, changing from blue to red for a while, if her eyes can become a knife, this imperial doctor must have been stabbed to death by her many times. ”
In the end, Empress Dowager Liu also had to give an order to find Jiang Changxi's whereabouts all the way along the northern border, and she didn't know that the person she wanted to guard against was in the secret passage under the palace at this time.
Now that the emperor is unconscious, the queen is also grounded, and all the affairs of the harem are handled by the Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Liu, neither of them stayed in the emperor's bedroom for long, and even the imperial doctor was called away.
When the idle people and others all withdrew from the hall, and only Gonggong Lu was left to guard, Gonggong Lu quietly opened the mechanism of the secret passage.
"Princess, you can come." Father-in-law Lu saluted Jiang Changxi, lowered his voice and said to her.
The emperor's bedroom is deep and spacious, and the sunlight outside the window is not enough to illuminate everything in the hall, but there are still candles in the hall, and there are still a lot of lights in this dark passage.
Jiang Changxi has been going back and forth in the dark passage for the past few days, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of change in light and darkness, but recently her eyes have gradually become worse, and she is extremely sensitive to changes in light and darkness, and her eyes were closed for a while before she eased up.
Ji Yunlin has been paying attention to Jiang Changxi - after all, she is Jiang Changyuan's sister and the princess of King Nanxiang, Ji Yunlin noticed that something was wrong with her, and couldn't help but be a little nervous, "What's wrong with you?" "The emperor is still waiting for you to save your aunt and grandmother, you can't be fine.
"It's okay, it's just that my eyes are shaken by the light." Jiang Changxi closed her eyes vigorously, and only when the fear of the sudden attack of darkness disappeared a little, did she wave her hand and say.
Dazzling? Ji Yunlin looked at the hall where his vision was not very strong, and pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling that Jiang Changxi was perfunctory to him, but he didn't dare to say it.
The top priority now is to save the emperor.
"Father-in-law Lu, please go to the outer hall to guard and pay attention to the movement outside." Ji Yunlin followed Jiang Changxi, ready to give her a hand, and at the same time did not forget to tell Father-in-law Lu.
Gonggong Lu knew the severity, so naturally he would not dislike Ji Yunlin's words, nor would he distrust Jiang Changxi, nodded, and ran to the outer hall to guard.
Jiang Changxi first checked the emperor's pulse, and then looked at his complexion, there was a little red in the blue and white, and this red was like a fireball, which was quietly burning his life in the emperor's body.
"This is ......" Jiang Changxi's face was very bad, and she already had a guess in her heart, she took out the needle bag in her arms without hesitation, pulled out a few silver needles and stabbed them at several of his big points, Ji Yunlin didn't have time to stop it.
Ji Yunlin cautiously glanced at Gonggong Lu who was guarding the outer hall, and said to Jiang Changxi with a weak heart: "Princess, you can't just use a needle on the emperor, this is a big crime committed below." "Fortunately, Father-in-law Lu didn't see it outside, otherwise this ear would have been guilty today.
Jiang Changxi ignored his fuss. In the eyes of the doctor, there are only patients and not patients.
After a few stitches, the emperor, who had been unconscious, suddenly moved, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and was covered by Jiang Changxi with a handkerchief, seeing that Ji Yunlin couldn't wait to faint on the spot.
Jiang Changxi glanced at him and didn't say anything. But Ji Yunlin was a little ashamed by her glance, he was not as calm as a girl's family, it was really undeserved.
Jiang Changxi was indeed very calm, calmly administered the needle to the emperor, calmly watched the emperor vomit a mouthful of blood, calmly took a handkerchief to clean up the emperor's blood, and pricked it down with a few neat needles.
Finally finished, the emperor's breathing was a little calmer, Jiang Changxi took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured two pills to Ji Yunlin, "Put the medicine in the water and feed the emperor to drink first." ”
Jiang Changxi wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards Father-in-law Lu, "Father-in-law Lu, do you have a way to get the medicine?" I need to boil some decoction for the emperor to help detoxify. ”
Listening to Jiang Changxi's meaning, is the emperor saved? Gonggong Lu's eyes lit up, and he had to have it if he didn't have it, "What medicine does the princess need, although the old slave is not good, it is still possible to find the herbs she needs for the princess." ”
With the assurance of Father-in-law Lu, Jiang Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, there will be Father-in-law Lu, wait for me to write the prescription."
