Chapter 42: The Poisoning of the Prince

Master Hua calmly entered the palace, and Xuanyuan in the inner hall was already lying on the soft couch, his legs raised high without any image. Master Hua's brows furrowed slightly and asked, "Guifei Niangniang knows that you are a fake?" ”

Although it is a question, it is a very sure question. How could Master Hua, who had experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, see the expression on the woman's face. What's more, the complacency on Xuanyuan's face is also clear at a glance. This kid is smart, and Murong Yan didn't choose the wrong person, but Master He Hua has a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and there is always a feeling that this kid will get into trouble if he is not careful.

"I will go to Yingyue Xuan tomorrow to jointly decide the name of the little prince with Wang Guifei, this is the condition that the concubine will not expose me, so I must go." The smile on Xuanyuan's face was evident as he spoke. Master Hua frowned again, this kid obviously wanted to take the opportunity to go out and let off steam, but he said these words again. After thinking about it, Master Hua continued: "Don't stay too long, eat the detoxification pill first when you leave." If there is an emergency, let Xiao Lizi inform me quickly. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Yingyue Xuan was full of joy, yesterday the emperor did not see the queen official, but the other heroines only saw Wang Guifei of Yingyue Xuan, and today the emperor even sent an edict to summon the officials of the Ministry of Rites in Yingyue Xuan, and Wang Guifei to draw up the name of the prince together. The pearl was busy arranging all the inside and outside of the hall, and placed a lot of fresh melons and fruits in the corner of the room, so that people could smell the faint fragrance as soon as they entered the room.

Wang Guifei has been standing by the crib since breakfast in the morning, looking at the quiet baby from time to time, and writing something from time to time. The painting was so fascinating that someone's voice rang in his ears before he stood up in shock, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The concubine greets the emperor, the concubine must be addicted to the things in her hands for a while, and she has not heard the advice of the slaves, please forgive the emperor." ”

"Yao'er, please get up, I didn't let the minions inform Concubine Ai, I want to see what Concubine Ai is usually busy with? What is Yao'er doing? The emperor asked with a smile, staring at the drawing paper in Wang Guifei's hand with interest. Wang Guifei's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say for a while, and she slowly stood up with the support of Gu Zhu and said with a smile: "The concubine just wants to make a small car for the emperor, and the emperor must be missing the emperor, so he deliberately scooped the concubine to talk about things." ”

This shyness and infinite expression only made the fake emperor Xuanyuan happy in his heart, but before Xuanyuan could say the next sentence, Wang Guifei had already said: "Lord Yang, they have been here for half an hour, if you don't have a concubine, you will accompany the emperor now." ”

The emperor responded with a smile, and watched the emperor turn around, but Wang Guifei had an indescribable feeling in her heart. How bold is this man, doesn't he know that molesting the emperor's concubine is a capital crime? Or maybe he's really cowardly! It's just the feeling of being teased by him, but it's really not boring, and I even have an inexplicable liking in my heart. This feeling made Wang Guifei herself a little baffled.

Yang Zhifang and two other officials of the Ministry of Rites. The staff was already waiting in the main hall of Yingyue Xuan, and after the emperor sat down and saluted, Yang Zhifang stepped forward and said: "This is the name that the ministers gave the prince yesterday." Please take a look at the emperor. "

When he said this, Yang Zhifang raised his head slightly, looked at the emperor cautiously, and raised the paper in his hand high. Xiao Lizi stepped forward to take the paper in Yang Zhifang's hand, and turned around to hand it to the emperor. But I heard the emperor say casually: "Let the concubine choose first." "

Xiao Li's father-in-law lowered his eyebrows and handed the paper to Wang Guifei's hand. Wang Guifei took it with a smile and looked at it carefully. On the piece of paper was the list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. The names of the compound characters are Yuqi, Zeyang, Xuyao, Zhaoran, etc., and the names of the single words are Ze, Xuan, Yi, Jie, etc. Wang Guifei smiled and gently handed the name to the emperor, and said gently: "The concubines prefer compound characters, I don't know what the emperor wants?"

The emperor smiled and took the paper, glanced at it, and said, "Lord Yang, tell me the name of the compound character." "

Yang Zhifang replied slowly: "Yu Qi, 'Yu' takes the meaning of shining brightly, 'Qi' takes the meaning of happiness, implying that the prince brings light and happiness to Darong; Zeyang, the vast ocean, means that the prince embraces all rivers and has all the people in mind; Xu Yao, takes the meaning of 'the rising sun rises in the east'; it is clear that the prince can preside over justice and treat all the people kindly..."

The emperor nodded slowly, looking a little difficult to choose, thought about it and asked the princess, "Which one does the concubine like?" "

The emperor's love for the concubine made the officials of the Ministry of Rites more and more respectful, and the eyes that looked at the princess became more and more panicked. These names took Yang Zhifang and the adults of the Ministry of Rites to negotiate them little by little, and at this time, for fear that the concubine would be dissatisfied, the emperor would be furious.

In the expectation of everyone, Wang Guifei finally slowly spoke: "What does the emperor think of the word Zhaoran?"

Wang Guifei's question proved that the concubine was more satisfied with the two words, and everyone in the Ministry of Rites secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In everyone's expectation, the emperor responded with a smile: "Murong Zhaoran, not bad!" As long as the concubine likes it! That emperor is named Murong Zhaoran! "

"The ministers are retiring, and I wish the emperor a healthy body." Yang Zhifang took the lead in saluting and retiring. The emperor also looked tired, but before he could speak and stand up, his father-in-law came in and said: "Wan Guifei, Gu Guifei, Chang Guifei, and Qing Guifei are waiting outside the palace to greet the emperor!"

Yuzhu, who was standing behind Wang Guifei, had a dark face, and secretly scolded the women of the various palaces for leaning up when they heard the news that the emperor was here. It's just that the smile on the face of the Wang beauty became more and more gentle, and the eyes that looked at the emperor were also full of smiles. However, the emperor, who had just stood up, sat down slowly, and nodded slightly as his eyes swept over Xiao Lizi. Then Xiao Lizi's voice sounded in the hall: "Xuanwan Guifei, Gu Guifei, Chang Guifei, Qing Guifei and other palace masters are here."

A room of warblers and swallows, and a room of red willows. The emperor is indeed in a good mood today, and his eyes are full of smiles when he looks at the beauties. The emperor's eyes stayed on the beauties. Wang Meiren's eyes only fell on the emperor. In the past, Daqing in the palace surrounded a room of Tianxiang and Guose, and I never saw Murong Yan's eyes stop on any woman. It's just because Murong Yan is still cold and alienated in the depths of his eyes even when he is smiling, and even when he is the most emotional, there is a depression in his eyes that Wang Guifei can't understand. And the fake emperor in front of him, his eyes have a kind of cunning and wisdom between a boy and a man, which is more tempting than Murong Yan's coldness.

"Hearing that the emperor is here today, the concubines and others will come to the emperor to say goodbye, and the second will send some full moon gifts to the prince to express the hearts of the ministers and concubines." Wan Guifei stepped forward with a smile, and the affection in her eyes was undisguised. The fake emperor Xuanyuan smiled and nodded, but while admiring the beauty, he roughly counted the number of people, and there were fifteen or sixteen women who came to ask for peace. Wouldn't so many women be angry if Yan Yue came back, why don't you find a reason to bury these women and drive them away first, thinking of this, the smile on the emperor's face became even stronger.

"The concubines have been praying for the emperor these days, only asking the emperor for the health of the dragon, and asking the Buddha to bless me with the peace of the country and the people of the Darong Dynasty." Gu Guifei continued, compared with Wan Guifei, her eyes were more of a softness. Xuanyuan smiled and nodded, I heard that this ancient concubine likes Buddhism to be quiet and peaceful, and now it seems that this is really the case. This woman can stay temporarily, and she will not become a stumbling block for Yan Yue in the future.

It's just that this time without waiting for Murong Yan to speak, a little palace maid hurriedly entered, fell to her knees with a thud, and replied with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, your concubine, the little prince is suddenly not good!"

The palace maid entered the hall in such a gaffe that everyone was surprised, and at this time, hearing the palace maid so much back, the hall was quiet for a while, and a beauty was shocked and even the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. As soon as the little palace maid's voice fell, Wang Guifei stood up impulsively, and stumbled towards the baby room while trembling and ordering, 'Go and ask the imperial doctor'.

The emperor then stood up, his face was as cold as ice, and while loudly announcing that he would invite Master Hua to Yingxue Xuan, he followed Wang Guifei closely. Everyone was only stunned, looked at each other, and hurriedly followed behind the emperor. Before everyone could stand still, they heard a sharp cry from the princess, which only made the soles of everyone's feet weak, and two beauties were so frightened that they fell to the ground without taking a good path. More people feel that today is wrong, in case there is anything wrong with this prince, in case the emperor blames himself again, it is really worth the loss.

Wang Guifei's face was already pale, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't stand steadily, but after such a moment's effort, the little prince's face was already covered with red bumps, his forehead was also hot, and he was short of breath...... Even if Wang Guifei, who was used to being sick in her previous life, now that the matter happened to her own child, she was so frightened that she lost her opinion.

The old lady who served the prince had been kneeling, and at this time she replied to the emperor in a trembling voice: "Half an hour ago, a small red bump appeared on the prince's face, and the old slave thought that the prince had been accidentally bitten by mosquitoes. The old slave wondered if the mosquito repellent coil was ineffective due to moisture, and told the girl to go to the Internal Affairs Office to change some mosquito repellent coils. Because Niangniang said that if the prince was bitten by mosquitoes, he would smear it with salt water, and the old slave went to the small kitchen to scoop some salt water. But I didn't expect that just in the blink of an eye, the little prince would become like this......"

Xuanyuan frowned and listened, if he was sick, he shouldn't have developed so quickly. Could it be that it was poisoned? Thinking like this, Xuanyuan then asked, "From the time the noble concubine left to the present, what have you eaten for the prince?" What did you drink? Or what was done? ”

The palace maids were in a panic, but the old lady still maintained a trace of calm, thought seriously and replied: "After the prince woke up, he drank half a bowl of boiled water, I don't know if he was in a hurry and sweated on his body. The minions changed the prince's clothes. The prince later fell asleep again. ”

Xuanyuan thought about it, according to the old lady, if the prince was poisoned, it would be either the boiled water or the clothes. Xuanyuan immediately ordered the palace people to quickly scoop the bowl of boiled water for the prince, and prepare a set of clothes for the prince to change out.

Wang Guifei panicked from the beginning, and only kept holding the child and crying. Let Regulus do whatever he wants. At this time, the imperial doctors came in a hurry, and Master Hua also came in a hurry. Master Hua treated the prince, and the other imperial doctors examined the bowl of boiled water and the clothes that the prince had just changed. Soon, Master Hua and the imperial doctors had come to the conclusion that the prince's condition was caused by poisoning, and the person who poisoned him sprinkled the poison powder on his clothes in advance, so the prince changed his clothes before his current situation appeared.

Everyone was shocked, who was so desperate and crazy that he actually did it to a baby who was less than a month old! Master Hua quickly adjusted a pill for the prince to take, and ordered the palace maid to quickly adjust the hot water for the prince to bathe and detoxify, this tossing for more than half an hour, the prince's breathing slowly normalized, and the fever on his body subsided.

Even if Master Hua was completely relieved at this time, he still had palpitations when he looked at the emperor, if something happened to the prince, then no one could afford this responsibility!

The emperor's face was already pale, and he ordered angrily: "Vice Minister Xuan will enter the palace immediately and have full authority to investigate the murder of the little prince, no matter who is involved in this matter, he will be severely punished!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and there was not a single sound in the hall. But when the emperor was staring at everyone, he suddenly said, "Who dropped the cup in the main hall just now?" And who just fell while walking......... All of them are driven out of the palace!

Wang Guifei sat quietly until the prince was completely back to normal. It is undeniable that if it weren't for the emperor's presence today, if he hadn't suspected that his condition was different, if it hadn't been for Master Hua's timely arrival, the prince's life might have been lost. With grace, Wang Guifei will not forget; If there is a grudge, Wang Guifei will not forget it!
