Text Chapter 109: The Struggle for the Throne (29)
When Xiao Yan and Xiao Huang came to the Summer Palace together, Manager Li led them into the inner hall, where the princes were already waiting, as well as the masters.
"The sons knock to see their father", Xiao Yan and Xiao Huang saluted in unison.
"No courtesy, get up, listen to Mr. Li, Yan'er, you are not well, but you are better"?
"Father, the son is much better", Xiao Yan arched his hand, but his face completely betrayed him, and if you look closely, you can see that it is a little abnormally pale.
"Nine Emperor Princes, all the princes' homework has been checked, it's your turn", Young Master Fei Jie looked at Xiao Yan and said.
Xiao Ji nodded slightly, and Fei Jie received the order and began.
First, he memorized a few classics, and then answered a few business questions, and Xiao Yan answered them all like a stream, and then put forward a few national policies by Xiao Ji, and Xiao Yan also answered exactly what he meant, Xiao Ji nodded and smiled, very satisfied.
In the next martial arts competition, Xiao Yan excused himself and said that he was not good at martial arts.
Xiao Ji looked at Lan Jia, and Lan Jia nodded, confirming for Xiao Yan that he was really not good at martial arts.
The eldest prince Xiao Xi has never been waiting to see Xiao Yan, but now with the matter of Concubine Zhong, he is even more unhappy with him, and has repeatedly asked Xiao Ji to have a discussion with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ji is good at martial arts, and naturally he doesn't like his princes to be weak, and asks the princes to practice martial arts since childhood, so he agreed to Xiao Xi's invitation to fight, and took the opportunity to learn about Xiao Yan's kung fu, and specially explained that the point was stopped.
Xiao Yan had no choice but to fight, Xiao Xi was very fierce every move, Xiao Yan pretended to do his best, only responded to his three moves and pretended to be very natural to accept his palm, spit blood on the spot, if it wasn't for the strong willpower to support it, he would have fainted, now it's okay, let Xiao Xi act as this opportunity.
Xiao Ji was very displeased when he saw Xiao Xi's fierce shot, and when he saw him slap his palm, Xiao Yan vomited blood and fainted, and he was even more angry.
Xiao Huang was directly frightened stupid, and it took a long time to walk over, lying on Xiao Yan's body and crying loudly, his little hands were stained with Xiao Yan's blood, he raised it and screamed desperately, and finally fainted.
What happened at this time made Xiaoji a little panicked, shouting the imperial doctor, passing the imperial doctor.
Manager Li led Imperial Physician Shen over, and Imperial Physician Shen took the pulse of the flame, ups and downs, if there was nothing, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Manager Li asked Imperial Physician Shen to look at Xiao Huang again, and Imperial Physician Shen got a hint in advance, and shook his head after taking the pulse.
Xiao Ji didn't come up with this accident, and looked at the two princes who fainted and became a little nervous, and asked eagerly:
"Imperial Doctor Shen, how are the two of them?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Nine Emperor Princes... It's not good, the cold evil enters the body and serious internal injuries, and I am afraid that I will worry about my life. And the eleventh prince is too frightened, his pulse is disordered, and his qi and blood are also unstable, so the ministers have to wait for him to wake up and check it carefully."
"Okay, you and the Tai Hospital will consult together, and you must ensure that the lonely emperor is safe and sound."
"Yes...", Imperial Physician Shen nodded in embarrassment.
Xiao Ji was in no mood at this time, and glanced at the princes and said, "You all go back, go back to the palace tomorrow."
The people in each palace were preparing to return to the palace, and Concubine An fainted directly when she learned that her two children had an accident.
Xiao Ji was thinking about the performance of the princes today, corresponding to the recent events, he originally had a trace of doubts about Xiao Yan, but at this time he had completely let go, and turned to the eldest prince Xiao Xi, the fourth prince Xiao Yu, and the fifth prince Xiao Can, and was thinking of seeing Mr. Li walking uneasily on the side.
"What's the matter"?
"Back to Your Majesty, the condition of the Nine Emperor Princes is serious again, the imperial doctors are helpless, but the Eleventh Prince has woken up, but he is a little sluggish, and he only knows the Nine Emperor Princes, and Concubine An Niangniang heard about it and fainted."
"What, what's going on"?
"Your Majesty is angry".
"What the hell do the doctors say"?
"The Nine Emperors are already weak, and they have been conditioning, coughing and wheezing in the wind, and I don't know what happened last night, the wind evil entered the body, and today he was seriously injured, that's why...".
"What about Huang'er"?
"The imperial doctors are afraid that the eleventh prince is timid and stupid, after all, they have been growing up with the nine princes all these years, and the relationship between the two is very good, and they have never seen such a scene, so they are too frightened for a while, and I don't know if they can get better after a while."
Xiao Ji listened, very worried, how did the two princes suddenly become like this, and they were also very helpless, because they couldn't save them now, and there were some self-blame, for the emperors, he had always been negligent, and he didn't know the situation of the children, and he felt a little guilty for a while.
"Li Xiang, you go to Dingshen Imperial Doctor to come over, and you have to ask in person."
"Yes...", Manager Li retreated to summon Imperial Doctor Shen, and at the same time explained what Xiao Yan had arranged in advance.
When Imperial Physician Shen entered the hall, he knelt down and shouted: "Please forgive your majesty, it is the incompetence of the ministers."
"Get up and talk", Xiao Ji also showed a fatherly feeling in his tone because of his guilt for Xiao Yan and Xiao Huang.
"Your Majesty, it's better for the minister to kneel", Imperial Physician Shen raised his head and arched his hand.
"But what else can't be done?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have done their best, and everything can only be left to fate."
When Xiao Ji heard it, there was a trace of sadness, and he never felt like he was going to lose something precious.
Imperial Physician Shen had never seen Xiao Ji show such a sad expression, glanced at Chief Manager Li, got the look of Chief Manager Li, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not hopeless, before entering the Tai Hospital, the minister had a relationship with the divine doctor Taoist, and he gave him a point or two, and the minister was used for life, I believe that he will be able to heal the Nine Emperors, but..."
"Just what..."?
"It's just that the divine doctor has a strange temper, I don't know if he will be willing to heal."
"Where is he, send someone to invite him", Xiaoji felt that he saw hope.
"I heard that he lived in seclusion in the area of Xianyue Mountain."
"String Moon Mountain"? Xiaoji naturally knows that Xianyue Mountain is a famous holy mountain, and it is also the largest mountain in Heding, which belongs to the Fire Phoenix Country, the Xiaoyao Country, and the Heavenly Wolf Country, among which the area of the Huofeng country is the largest, and the second side of the Xiaoyao Country is in the territory, and the Heavenly Wolf Country is the smallest, and the territory is just a corner.
Xiao Ji thought for a while and said, "Are you sure that the Divine Doctor Daoist can really save Yan'er?"
"Weichen can't guarantee it, but that's the biggest hope at the moment", Imperial Doctor Shen looked sincere.
After hearing this, Xiao Ji thought for a while and said, "You go down."
"Yes...", Imperial Physician Shen retreated and glanced at each other as he walked past Chief Manager Li.
"Li Xiang...".
"The minions are here...", Mr. Li stepped forward to answer.
"You go and pass on Lanjia."
"Yes...", Mr. Li took the order and retreated.
After a while, Lan Jia came.
"Lan Jia, you pick a few people with strong martial arts, you must be reliable, and recently leave Beijing with the Nine Emperor Princes to seek medical treatment."
Lan Jia hesitated for a moment, but still gave up the order and went back to make arrangements.
Yan Ziyue took advantage of the fact that the people in Qiongyuan were busy packing up and preparing to return to the palace in the past few days, pretending to be a little eunuch during the day, and walking in night clothes at night, almost going through the entire Qiongyuan, and she didn't find out about Xiaoping's sister Xiao An, I just felt that it was too strange, how could it be like the world had evaporated, there was no clue, but it can already be concluded that Xiao An was not in the hands of Concubine Zhong and her group at all, maybe it was there, but then it was definitely gone, but now there is really no information at all.
In the afternoon of this day, Yan Ziyue was really tired, and went into a washroom, seeing that there was no one, and when she asked, she knew that she was going to leave for the palace tomorrow, and everyone was busy sending clean clothes to the palaces. Yan Ziyue was asked which palace it was, and saw that there was still a bunch of folded palace clothes that had not been sent out, and Ming Qiongyuan was marked on it, so she replied that it was Ming Qiongyuan, and the other party palace maid complained about how she came over, and said that she handed over all the folded palace clothes to Yan Ziyue, and asked her to follow up, and there were some scattered things in the house.
Yan Ziyue followed the palace maid into the house and found that there was still an old palace maid in the house embroidering something.
The palace maid urged the old palace maid when she would be able to make up for it, and the people from Mingqiongyuan came to pick it up.
The old palace maid focused on the work at hand, and it would take a while for her mouth to answer.
The palace maid asked Yan Ziyue to wait here, and then let's take it away together.
Yan Ziyue nodded in agreement, then put down the clothes in her hand, waited on the side, and when the palace maid left, she began to look around the room.
"What do you see"? The old palace maid glanced at Yan Ziyue and said.
"Nothing".
"You don't look like the person next to Concubine An of Mingqiongyuan"?
Yan Ziyue was startled, she really didn't know that Ming Qiongyuan lived in Concubine An, Xiao Yan's mother, and she couldn't answer the words of the old palace maid for a while, so she just didn't hear it, but she paid more attention to her, and she could hear from what she said, she should know a lot.
"Why are you pretending to be someone from Ming Qiong Yuan"?
"Why do you think I'm impersonating, I'm really from Mingqiongyuan."
"And what is your name"?
"My name is Xiaoping", Yan Ziyue casually used Xiaoping's name.
"Xiaoping, you are Xiao An's sister"? The old palace maid looked at Yan Ziyue with wide eyes, but she didn't feel like it, the two didn't look alike, and they didn't seem to be the same age.
"You know Xiao An, where is she"?
The old palace maid saw that Yan Ziyue was very concerned about Xiao An, and the expression on her face was very concerned, not like she was pretending.
"Can you find a way to save her"?
"If you tell me, I'll find a way to save her."
"She's not here, you're in the palace, it's been more than a month, don't you know she's still alive"?
"What the hell is going on"? Yan Ziyue squatted beside the old palace maid and asked.
The old palace maid said that Xiao An was also a rough maid in the Huanxi Bureau, and she was very close to herself, and she didn't know who she had offended, she was always bullied by the eunuch in charge of the Huanxi Bureau, and she was often called over by Concubine Zhong's people, and then she cried back into tears. One night was also called by Concubine Zhong's mother, and when she came back, she was so frightened that she lost her soul, and told me that she had seen something terrible, but because she was too scared, she couldn't say clearly, so she just begged me to say that someone was going to kill her, let me save her, so I hid her in the waste well in the northwest corner of the Huanxi Bureau, there was a big red jujube tree at the mouth of the well, and I left her some dry food before I left the palace, and I don't know if she can survive until now.
Yan Ziyue listened and comforted the old palace maid, telling her that she would definitely be able to rescue Xiao An, so that she could rest assured.
