Chapter 24: The Emperor is Suspicious
Murong Jin said that it was fine, but in the end, he still contracted the cold, and he could only ask for leave in the school palace.
Bai Xiying came to look at it for a while, shook his head, and sighed again.
"Your Highness, what do you want to say about you? I just left for a while, why did this happen. ”
Murong Jin leaned on the pillow, his face was slightly pale, "I'm afraid I only did it when I was alone." ”
"In this palace, under His Majesty's nose. Who dared to be so bold as to murder the prince? ”
"That man is extraordinary, if he really wants my life, I will definitely die within three moves." Murong Jin frowned and took a sip of the decoction, "But he doesn't seem to want to kill me, then, sir, what does this person want?" ”
"Oh? If you say that, is that a temptation, a test of your ability? Bai Xiying smiled and sat on the edge of the couch, "That person is testing whether someone is secretly protecting His Highness." ”
Murong Jin smiled bitterly: "It seems that my father is still very relieved of me." ”
"Your Highness, you are Your Majesty's beloved son, can you not care?"
"My father really thinks highly of me," Murong Jin shook the medicine bowl and said, "Under the eyes of the Son of Heaven, who dares to make a mistake." ”
"It's normal for the emperor to be suspicious," Bai Xiying looked at Murong Jin's decoction that had not decreased, "The medicine is almost cold, why don't you drink it?" ”
"Bitter." Murong Jin said.
"I've been drinking medicine for so many years, are you still afraid of bitterness?" Bai Xiying said he couldn't understand.
"It's because I often take medicine, that's why I'm even more afraid of the taste of this medicine, it's really bitter," Murong Jin put the medicine bowl on the lacquer plate on the side and said in a low voice, "I suspect that there is something else in this medicine." ”
Bai Xiying was puzzled: "What? ”
Murong Jin said: "Since I returned to the palace, the imperial doctor has changed, and the prescription is a little different from usual, but it doesn't seem to be important. However, after drinking this medicine, I always had trouble sleeping, and I was haunted by nightmares in the middle of the night, and it was often difficult to wake up, and it was difficult to sleep again after waking up. Over time, I feel that this body is getting worse and worse than before. ”
"Why don't you doubt the food?"
Murong Jin shook his head, "It's too obvious to do things in the meal, the daily meal is picked up by Dongxian or Ruomei, and before going, the imperial food room doesn't know which dish the master of the palace wants to take." If Mei is the person of the father, it is unlikely that he will be back, and it is even more impossible that Dongxian is the person left behind by the queen mother. ”
"How do you know it's impossible?"
“......”
Bai Xiying got up and picked up the medicine bowl and poured all the decoction into a plant on the side, "If Your Highness is bitter about the medicine, you just don't eat it." This typhoid fever is not a serious illness, and it will get better on its own after a few days. I'll check on the medical department, you have been recuperating with peace of mind recently, and you will add some soothing things to your three meals on weekdays. ”
"There's Mr. Law."
Bai Xiying smiled: "Why are you so polite, there will be a lot of times when you need me in the future, Your Highness is so tired." ”
"That's what the gentleman said."
Bai Xiying put the medicine bowl back into the lacquer plate, "Then I'll retire first." ”
"Sir, walk slowly."
But he said that the white shadow had just left with his front foot, and Murong Su came in with his back foot.
"Uncle Rui Wang is a few steps late, and Mr. Bai has already left."
Murong Shu glanced out, and said unconcernedly: "I just saw him at the door, as if someone owed him a few hundred taels of silver," and seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, "Who cares about him——"
"How did Uncle Rui come today?"
Murong Shu said: "This king heard that Xiao Ah Si is sick, so come and take a look." How's it going, okay? ”
Murong Jin said with a smile: "Uncle Rui Wang is bothered, the little nephew is no longer in trouble." How did Uncle Wang know that I was sick? ”
"Didn't you take a leave of absence from the school palace? Gu Shi told me. I don't know that you are so sick, when I went to ask the royal brother for peace this morning, the imperial brother told me, only then did I know that you actually fell into the pool, why were you so careless? ”
"What did my father tell Uncle Wang?" Murong Jin frowned.
"That's right," Murong Shu said, "and said that if it weren't for the little beauty of Xiqin who saved your life, you wouldn't know where you are now." This son, Princess Xueji's thank-you gifts may have been delivered, and the king looked at it, and there was a lot of weight. Little Ah Si, your father really feels sorry for you, you should ...... too"
"Uncle Wang." Murong Jin interrupted Murong Shu.
"What's wrong?"
Murong Jin was silent for a moment and shook his head again.
Murong Shu said with concern: "What's the matter, Ah Si, but where is it uncomfortable, do you need this king to go to Xuan Taiyi?" ”
"No need Uncle Wang," Murong Jin stopped, "The little nephew just wants to ask, did the father mention anything else?" ”
"No," Murong Shu thought about it with his chin propped up again, but said, "No." ”
No? Then it is almost certain that that person was sent by Emperor Yan.
"What's wrong?"
"No," Murong Jin pretended to be tired, "It's just that I just drank the medicine, and I feel a little sleepy at this time." ”
"Well, you can sleep well, and this king will not disturb you." He was about to leave, and when he went out, he looked back, but saw that Murong Jin had already closed his eyes, so he muttered alone, "I also said that I wanted to go out of the palace to play, such a disease, it is estimated that it will be ten days and a half months, alas......"
Goyang Hall
"Zhao Jing, did you send anything to Princess Xueji?" Emperor Yan put down a book that had just been reviewed.
Zhao Jing on the side said: "Back to Your Majesty, it has been sent." Is there anything else Your Majesty would like to command? ”
Emperor Yan shook his head and picked up the red pen again, "Do you think there is something strange about this matter?" ”
Zhao Jing bowed down, "The slave doesn't dare to say anything." ”
Emperor Yan snorted and glanced at Zhao Jing, "Say it." ”
"Yes," Zhao Jing had no choice but to answer truthfully, "The slave just thinks that it is too much of a coincidence, why did this Princess Xueji appear there?" ”
"Why can't you tell me?"
"The slave just thinks that the sleeping palace of this princess Xueji is still far away from Bihu, and she has just arrived at the palace, and it is spring at this time, and the Bihu Lake is deserted, how can a child run there to play without anything?"
"Maybe it's lost."
Zhao Jing said: "What Your Majesty said is true. ”
Emperor Yan glanced at Zhao Jing helplessly, "You--although Liuli is only eight years old, he has been made a prince since he was a child, and he has avoided countless assassinations and secret arrows, how can he not even have this little heart." ”
Zhao Jing glanced at Emperor Yan carefully, "Then Your Majesty means ......"
"There were originally eight imperial heirs in the Western Qin Dynasty, but now there are only two left, you say, has nothing to do with this child?"
Zhao Jing immediately understood, "The slave understands, and the slave will arrange it." ”
"Well, don't be too obvious, find a few clever people."
"Yes." He withdrew from the Gaoyang Palace.
After Zhao Jing left, Emperor Yan put the red pen on the pen grid, and made a slight gesture with his right hand, and a shadow guard dressed in black appeared behind him.
Emperor Yan asked, "Have you found out?" ”
The shadow guard replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Bai Xiying was met by Si Le during his travels two years ago, and brought back to the palace. The subordinates found out that Yuefu has used Jiangyun incense in the past two years, and this white shadow may have something to do with the South Vietnamese royal family. ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, "Nanyue...... No wonder his surname is white. Send someone to South Vietnam to find out the identity of this person. ”
"Yes." After finishing speaking, a flash of shadow disappeared into the main hall.
Emperor Yan gently stroked the wolf howl that had been inking the pen, "Really, isn't it the remnants of Northern Qi?" ”
