When Shan Wu relayed the words of the great eunuch to Jiang Qiancheng, he had a smile on his face, and Shan Wu didn't quite understand where the laughter of these words was, so he didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand aside obediently.

Jiang Qiancheng lay on the bed, playing with a jade pendant that Yue Qingming gave him before, and said with a smile: "It seems that the father-in-law in the imperial study thinks that the emperor will have an accident because I drugged him." ”

"You mean, something really happened to the emperor?"

"If he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have believed it."

Shan Wu was a little excited, if something really happened to the emperor, as long as he didn't care about him, maybe he would die soon, and then Jiang Qiancheng could easily get everything he wanted, and he could take Yue Qingming back to the imperial city!

But things are not as simple as Shan Wu thought, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he still has henchmen around him, so it is impossible to watch him die, just like the great eunuch who came to the East Palace just now.

Jiang Qiancheng said: "Since it has been confirmed that something happened to the emperor, then let's sit back and enjoy the success in the East Palace." ”

"Your Highness, after all, there are so many people around the emperor, if we don't do anything, will it affect our plans in the future?"

"Don't worry, let's wait and see."

Shan Wu was a little puzzled, isn't it the best time for the emperor to make a move now, why do you have to wait and see what happens in the East Palace?

Jiang Qiancheng knew that Shan Wu was worried, if it was before, he would definitely think that now was the best time to make a move, but now it is different, now that he is the prince, if he does it, it will make his efforts in vain, it is better to see how the wind is in the court first.

The next day, the emperor said that he was ill and did not go to court.

On the third day, the emperor still said that he was sick and did not go to court.

Day 4, Day 5, Day ...... Until half a month later, the emperor was sick, and when he did not go to court, the court began to discuss this matter.

There is no good configuration of the antidote to the heart, and now this medicine is not circulating in the rivers and lakes, and no one has a ready-made antidote, so they can only use the surviving classics to find possible ways to relieve the drug.

The big eunuch stayed in the imperial study every day, and Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai went to visit separately, but they were stopped by the big eunuch with the same reason every time.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai met in the East Palace.

Jiang Qianbai smiled and went over to him: "Now I can basically be completely sure that the emperor is really seriously ill, I see that the bad old men in the Tai Hospital are testing medicine all day long, if they are pretending, they can't act so well!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng said: "I also think it's true. ”

"Then why haven't you done it yet?"

"I'm the crown prince now, what do I need to do?" Jiang Qiancheng drank tea and said: "If the emperor is seriously ill and dies as a result, I am the rightful heir, there is no need to fight or rob, and everyone must recognize." ”

Jiang Qianbai thought about it, it makes sense, at this time, the one who can calm down is the final winner!

"Then how long do you think the emperor can hold on?"

"Then it depends on whether those people in the Tai Hospital can really make a medicine to cure the emperor."

Jiang Qianbai nodded, and said: "But until now, we don't seem to know what kind of disease the emperor has, that damn big eunuch hid the news so well that even the queen didn't know it!" ”

"If he doesn't even have this ability, how can he become the emperor's henchman?"

"So what are we going to do here and wait?"

"Not really, send someone to the Tai Hospital to find out what kind of medicine they are making, and see if you can find out what kind of disease the emperor has from those medicines."

"Got it," Jiang Qianbai said, "leave this matter to me." ”

"Good work."

"You're welcome!"

Palace.

After Jiang Qianbai sent someone to pass the word to the queen mother, the queen mother arranged for the eyes around the palace to start acting, although the place of medicine was in the Tai Hospital, but there were many people who came and went to the Tai Hospital every day, and some of them may have heard something.

Two days later, the people sent by the queen mother came back with the news.

"Tell the queen mother, our people have heard that the respected doctors of the Tai Hospital are developing an antidote to a medicine that once circulated in the rivers and lakes."

"Ever circulated?"

"In other words, there is almost no such medicine anymore."

The queen squinted her eyes, no wonder the emperor didn't get better for so long, and the people in the Tai Hospital had been busy all the time, and they couldn't find the original medicine, and it was not easy to develop a suitable antidote based on symptoms alone.

The queen asked, "Do you know what medicine it is?" ”

"It seems to be called something distracted, those imperial doctors are very cautious, and the full name has not been heard."

"What new heart is scattered...... Queen Mother's eyes widened instantly: "Could it be that the heart is scattered?!" ”

The guard was puzzled: "What is the scattered heart?" ”

The queen mother subconsciously frowned, she didn't expect that the kind of medicine that disappeared on the rivers and lakes twenty years ago actually appeared again, and it was still used on the emperor's body, it was really unbelievable!

Pearl walked up to the queen mother and whispered, "Niangniang, the fifth prince sent someone to ask how the matter is investigated." ”

"This palace has to go out of the palace to see them in person, and some things will be clearer when I tell them in person."

Pearl was a little surprised: "Now? ”

"Right now."

"Is that going to the Five Kings' Mansion, or going to the East Palace?"

"Go to the Five Princes' Mansion, and then you ask people to go to the East Palace to deliver a message, and let the prince come to the Five Princes' Mansion secretly, so as not to be seen."

"Yes."

The news of the queen's mother's departure from the palace was soon known by the big eunuch in the imperial study, and he was a little surprised, at this time, she didn't stay in the palace well, what did she do when she ran out?

He asked, "Where did the queen go?" ”

"Look at the direction, I should go to the Five Princes' Mansion to see the Five Princes."

"See him?" The big eunuch frowned: "What do you see him doing?" ”

The big eunuch also thought that the queen mother went out of the palace to see the prince, after all, in this situation, once the emperor had an accident, the prince would be the biggest beneficiary, and she, as the queen, naturally had to reach some kind of consensus with the prince!

"Send someone to keep an eye on the queen's movements, and if there is anything abnormal, or if she goes to see the prince, come and tell you immediately!"

"Yes!"

After saying this, the great eunuch returned to the imperial study, and the emperor was still lying on the bed, and during this time he had been relying on medicine to maintain his spirits, but because he had not found an antidote, he looked very tired, and often hallucinated.

When the emperor saw the big eunuch coming, he hurriedly smiled: "You're here, where is Qianqian?" Where is this king's Qianqian? ”

The big eunuch sighed helplessly, Qianqian is the name of the queen's mother, and the title of "this king" is also the emperor's self-proclaimed name before he ascended the throne, in just half a month, he forgot that he was the emperor, and blamed the damn medicine!
