Chapter 211: The Road Ahead is Difficult
Childe Kiyoshi fainted due to excessive pain. Rouxin was so shocked that she called out repeatedly: "Childe! Childe wake up! ”
"That's fine! He didn't know it hurt! Yao Weng picked up a wooden skewer and fixed Childe's shallow legs in a circle. Then he pinched Childe's shallow human acupoint. Childe Qingqian relieved himself.
"Childe! All right! Rouxin shed tears of heartache.
"You should be happy for me!" Childe's pale lips squirmed slightly, making a faint sound.
"Don't be too happy! It depends on how well your bones heal, and even if they grow, they may not be able to get back to their original state! It's all up to you! Yao Weng's words made everyone's slightly happier mood and suddenly poured a basin of cold water.
"How long will it take?" Xuanfei asked nervously. His hands clenched into fists with unease.
"It takes three to five years to recover and get completely well! You can't take any more damage during this time! The medicine man instructed.
"Why is it so long?" Xuanfei will not cure bone disease though. But at least he knows the saying that it takes a hundred days to break his bones.
"His leg bones were not only broken, but they were badly broken. I don't think anyone but me can pick it up! "The medicine man packed up the medicine box and went to prepare the medicine for the child.
Everyone knows that what Yao Weng said is true. They looked at Gongzi Qingqian and were silent.
"Three or five years is not a long time! It's better than not being able to walk for the rest of your life! "Childe explained everyone shallowly.
"Hmm!" Rouxin wiped the tears from her cheeks and covered Childe Qingqian's cloak with him.
"I'm fine anyway!" Xuanfei lay beside Childe Qingqian.
Guan Shixun was very touched when he heard Xuanfei's words. He silently walked outside the grass house to help the medicine man boil the medicine.
Rouxin untied her cloak and put it on Childe Qingqian and Xuanfei's bodies.
As the sun set, a brazier was placed in the cottage.
Childe Qingqian sat up with the help of Rouxin. His face was unusually pale, reflecting his phoenix eyes that were exceptionally bright.
"After drinking this decoction, the pain will be lighter!" Yao Weng had to admire Childe's perseverance. Bone pain pierces the heart, ordinary people can't stand it.
Childe drank the decoction lightly, and he felt that he was much warmer.
Xuanfei hasn't woken up yet. Rouxin distributes the sweet potatoes to everyone. The food that Yao Weng often eats is grown by himself. His grandson, Lu Xi, brought salt and rice every time he came.
Yao Weng and Guan Shixun squeezed into sleep on the couch. Rouxin slept beside Gongzi Qingqian.
In the middle of the night, Xuanfei woke up from freezing. He quietly got up and looked for food.
Childe Qingqian couldn't sleep well because of the pain in his legs from time to time. When Xuanfei got up, he opened his eyes.
Xuanfei lit the brazier, and then he roasted the cool sweet potato on the fire for a while before eating it.
"What the hell is this? It's so cold! Xuanfei muttered as he roasted the fire by the brazier.
"There's no extra bedding either! Or you can take it and cover it! The medicine man sat up.
"Forget it! I'm freezing you! Am I not allowed to be scolded? Xuanfei squeezed against Childe's shallow body and covered it with a cloak.
Childe Qingqian doesn't like to share a bed with others. It's good now, one on each side, he can't sleep peacefully anyway.
Father doesn't know what happened? Big brother will definitely find out that it is not me who died! Father should be fine! Childe thought to himself.
The Haihou Mansion in the capital is not peaceful. Lord Hai did not attend the new emperor's enthronement hall on the grounds of serious illness. The second prince was angry in his heart, so he demoted Gongzi Qingcheng's official position in the Ministry of Rites by two levels with trumped-up guilt.
Xie Han of Xie Mansion also said that he was sick and did not go, and the second prince personally went to his mansion to ask for the guilt.
Everyone in Xie Mansion was driven into the courtyard of Xie Han's residence. Xie Han was wearing a middle coat and kneeling in front of the new emperor with the imperial sword given by the emperor.
The second prince looked at Xie Han, who was kneeling in front of him with a sword in his hand, and trembled with anger.
"Xie Qing, what does this mean? Do you want me to kill you with the sword that the emperor gave you? The eyes of the second prince showed a fierce look.
Xie Han still bowed his head and didn't say a word. His grandson, Xie Xing, tugged at the placket of his shirt behind him.
"Since Xie Qing has this intention, I will fulfill you!" The second prince stepped forward and slowly drew the sword in Xie Han's hand. As soon as the sword came out, the cold light shone brightly. The eyes of the second prince were so shaken that he could barely open them.
The Xie family knelt behind Xie Han and everyone sobbed in low voices. Xie Han straightened up, not afraid at all.
"Please think deeply!" Liang Zicheng, who was behind the second prince, bowed down and gave a salute and admonishment.
The sword of the second prince was slowly raised, and then fell quickly. Xie Xing screamed in fright and closed his eyes. A strand of long gray-white hair fell to the ground.
With a "bang", the sword was thrown by the second prince by Xie Han's side.
"Grandpa!" Xie Xing hugged Xie Han's waist and cried loudly. The second prince led people away.
"You are the descendant of the Xie family, you should have the backbone of the Xie family! I went to the meditation hall and thought about it behind closed doors! Xie Han picked up the sword given by the emperor and stood up.
"Yes!" Xie Xing wiped away his tears and walked to the back of the hospital.
"Where has a nine-year-old ever seen such a battle? Forgive him for once! Xie Gan, who helped Xie Han back to the bedroom, interceded for his son.
"The Xie family is not as powerful as the major families, but what we have is loyalty and backbone! Haihou Ye's second son died tragically in prison, how could he go to the emperor's enthronement ceremony? The emperor is jealous of the prestige of Haihou and wants to take our Xie family! If I don't do this, the Xie family will be in danger! Xie Han sighed.
"Then why don't you go?" Xie Qian was very puzzled by his father's approach. Haihou didn't go, there was a reason. Although some of the representatives of the other major families did not go, they also sent capable people from the clan. Xie Fu didn't go alone!
"He can't do this country!" Xie Han sat on his bed and muttered.
Xie Qian listened and looked at his father who was once the first person in the capital with wide eyes. Childe Qingqian is dead. The third prince and her queen mother were placed under house arrest in an abandoned palace. Could it be the Seventh Prince who is far away at the border?
The cars in front of the mansion of the prince of the capital are not lively.
Gongzi Jinqi has already worshiped the prime minister and made a marquis. There was an endless stream of princes and nobles who came to congratulate them. But Gongzi Jinqian only asked Touran to receive him, and he didn't show up.
At this time, Gongzi Jinqian was standing in front of the window looking at a big tree outside the study and pondering. The Seven Princes, who were far away at the border, did not return to the dynasty to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.
The Seven Princes were brave and good at fighting, and they held heavy troops to guard the border passes. If he has a heart of disobedience one day, he can lead his troops to take the capital directly at any time.
Now the court is unstable, and the ministers are waiting and watching. Haihou and Xie Fu obviously did not support the new emperor. The Dong Mansion and the Youcheng Yao family remained neutral.
The Ji family, the Yan family, and the Xu family were strong supporters of the second prince, Sima Zhao. The second prince did not listen to the advice of his son Jinqi and exiled the king who loved and sludge. Naturally, the Wang family will not support him.
The new emperor Sima Zhao reused the Hanmen scholars represented by Liang Zicheng, which angered the major families. They jointly wrote a letter advising the emperor to be cautious in employing people. Sima Zhao ignored this. Empress Yan advised him to consider the interests of the family. Sima Zhao brushed his sleeves away.
