One hundred and seventy-two: the antidote
"That Princess Chaodan is more than a few years older than Grandpa Bai, and her appearance is not worthy, what does the emperor think? Actually messed up the mandarin duck spectrum! Sheng Guizhi gasped heavily.
In her heart, Princess Chaodan can't compare with Su Yunyao at all, right?
Su Moyao was also worried on the side.
"I heard that Princess Chaodan is looking for a concubine, and it is not unusual for the emperor to have the idea of Bai Xiaogong." Su Yunyao said with some distraction.
Did Bai Chuheng accept the holy decree and obey the holy will, or did he resist the decree and disrespect it? These four big characters of resistance and disrespect are like a big mountain, and no one can resist them!
Sheng Guizhi sneered, "Your Majesty? I think it's the virtuous concubine! Her Lin family has done a lot of bad things through her, and now she has put her ideas on the head of the Dingguo Mansion, which is really excessive, a few days ago my mother entered the palace, and Concubine Xian actually dared to scold my mother, she really borrowed her courage! In the past, when I didn't have power, I screamed as a sister, and when I got power, I dared to show my mother's face! ”
Sheng Guizhi didn't say the rest of the things, the county lord of Shuyang gave the virtuous concubine a fierce sarcasm, and the angry virtuous concubine begged the emperor to say that the county lord of Shuyang was disrespectful to her, but the identity of the county lord of Shuyang was there, her mother's family was loyal to the first emperor from the dragon, and the queen mother was very good to the county lord during her lifetime, the emperor just said two words, and did not even say a heavy word, so she sent the county lord of Shuyang out.
Su Yunyao sighed, her heart was in a mess, and she didn't listen to Qingsheng Guizhi's words at all.
This time, Bai Chuheng is afraid that he can only be a colt, right?
But who would have thought that on the morning of the second day when the holy decree arrived at the Dingguo Mansion, a rumor suddenly appeared on the street, saying that Princess Chaodan, the daughter of Concubine Xian, was not the emperor's bloodline at all, how could such a person who was so confused with the royal bloodline be worthy of the little grandfather of the Dingguo Mansion?
This kind of talk is getting more and more intense, no one dared to say it before, and more and more people are watching it, and they can't help but interject a few words.
In the emperor's opinion, the people strongly opposed it after knowing that he had the intention to let Bai Chuheng be a concubine, but what he didn't know was that those people were sent by Bai Chuheng, and ten people were sent out to say this, and when they turned around, there were a hundred people who would say this, and the bricks on the wall smashed on the ground, which could smash several people who spread rumors.
Seeing that the people disagreed, Concubine Lin Xian was a little flustered.
Over the years, the emperor has not suspected Princess Chaodan's life experience, but she has been coaxed and suppressed, but this time it was mentioned by the people, and it seriously damaged the royal face, whether this matter is true or not, the emperor will be angry.
In the past, everyone secretly said that it was nothing if no one mentioned it on the surface, but this time it was a large-scale publicity of this matter, saying that Princess Chaodan's identity was unknown, and letting Bai Xiaogong be her concubine was wronged Bai Chuheng.
This is how stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.
Su Yunyao heard Huaixiang say the news, and the corners of her mouth hooked up for some reason, and she didn't even notice it. Su Moyao gently bumped her with her shoulder behind her, "I'll just say it, this little white grandfather is smart, he doesn't want Princess Shang, it's useless for anyone to force him!" ”
Indeed, using the people's livelihood to block this matter back, even if the emperor is angry, he can't be angry with Bai Chuheng.
It shouldn't be Bai Chuheng who is panicking now, the emperor hasn't had time to clean him up for the time being, now it's mainly because Concubine Xian is very afraid, Lin Guozhang entered the palace that day, and stayed in Concubine Lin Xian's palace for a while before leaving, it should be to discuss countermeasures.
But no one has evidence in this matter, this time Bai Chuheng can be saved once, but next time it may not be, there is no basis for his words, even if the emperor insists on believing Concubine Lin Xian, no one can say anything.
Just when Xunjing City was in an uproar for several days because of this incident, the spies of the Ningguo Mansion sent a message to Su Yunyao, saying that there was a person who looked like a snake head near Daozhuang for a while, and met a man with a pockmarked face there, and then walked around the mountain twice and entered the mountain, and the mountain road was winding and winding, and they didn't keep up.
This inevitably reminded Su Yunyao of what Lu Yuanyi said before, those snakeheads who were preparing to kill Su Yunyao in Daozhuang confessed to a person named Wu Mazi.
"It's really strange, how dare they go to the rice village?" Su Yunyao was a little puzzled, she originally wanted to call the officers and soldiers to search the mountain, but this idea was held back by herself.
It's not like carelessness, it's more like a trap.
Su Yunyao wrote a letter to the Sheng family, the meaning of the letter was to let Ning Guogong communicate with the military department and the patrol battalion, and during this time, he strictly searched for the foreign population outside the capital.
She vaguely felt that it was a little strange that those people deliberately let Su Yunyao know where they were hiding, if they were not going to lead her over, they were going to lead the officers and soldiers over.
Or is it really accidental? Su Yunyao thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to believe it, because if it wasn't, she would be in danger.
Cao Qianlian has been grounded for a long time, and it stands to reason that she can't spread the news now, and those who listen to her are like headless flies, and they have no idea. If this encounter in Daozhuang was not a trap set by Cao Qianlian again, then it could only be these headless flies messing around.
Su Yunyao didn't believe that those snakeheads were in the hands of Cao Qianlian, if she had that ability, the Su family would have become hers a long time ago, but why did those snakeheads help her again and again? This is the strangest of all.
"Girl!" Lisheng and Songyin trotted into the house, bringing in a hint of cold wind, "Girl, tell you a great good thing!" ”
"What's the matter?" Su Yunyao asked.
Lisheng and Songyin glanced at each other, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been detoxified!" ”
"Detoxified?" Su Yunyao stood up, a little unconvinced, "The person who poisoned him just calculated that there would be no antidote, so he was like that, how could people find the antidote?" ”
"It's true, it was the little grandfather Bai who found it, he has already entered the palace at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up, and the residual poison on his body still needs to be cleaned, but his life is no longer in trouble! The emperor was overjoyed, he was planning to reward some little grandfathers at this time, it is estimated that we will be lively again in a while! ”
"Great!" Su Yunyao became happy after realizing it, but after a while, she frowned again.
The emperor made Bai Chuheng unhappy because he wanted Bai Chuheng to be a concubine, and in the same way, a generation of emperors would not be happy, who wants to be led by the nose by the son of a courtier? Regardless of whether the life experience of Princess Chaodan, who suddenly came out of the imperial capital a few days ago, was passed on by him, it was inevitable that he would provoke the emperor's anger.
Saving the prince this time can be regarded as Bai Chuheng's demerits.
So what will the emperor reward him this time? I don't want him to be a colt... Thinking of this, Su Yunyao felt panicked and felt uneasy.
The emperor is not only a princess Chaodan, but also Princess Chaofeng, who is two years younger than Princess Chaodan, and Princess Chaolan, who is half a year younger than Princess Chaofeng, their ages are appropriate.
If you let any of them marry Bai Chuheng? He can incite public opinion to escape for himself once, can there be a second time? The reason why the people helped him was because Concubine Xian was the demon concubine in their hearts, Princess Chaofeng and Princess Chaolan were not the children of Concubine Xian, and they were very similar to the emperor, and this method was useless to them at all.
Su Yunyao's hands rubbed the handkerchief uneasily, and the joy of detoxifying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had now turned into nervousness.
Bai Chuheng didn't find the legendary medical saint at all, but he went to Guoteng Temple to offer incense by mistake, and met Master Chunyuan, who had just been here for less than five years.
Master Chunyuan asked for a sign for him, and asked why he was sad, Bai Chuheng had a good relationship with several masters of Guoto Temple, so naturally he didn't hide it, and the news of the prince's poisoning had already spread all over the city, so why hide it?
He said that he couldn't find the antidote, and Master Chunyuan smiled, "The poor monk understands the troubles of the little grandfather, and I can't hide it, I've been waiting for you, a destined person, for a long time." ”
Bai Chuheng was in a fog by what he said, and it took a long time to react, "I've known you for so long, and I didn't know that you knew how to heal or something, but you have a way?" ”
"Of course, there is a way." Master Chunyuan made a gesture to go inside, and Bai Chuheng followed him into a room.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a strong smell of medicine, which shows that Master Chunyuan is a pharmaceutical here.
He took out a small wooden carved box and gave it to Bai Chuheng, which contained a whole box of pills about the size of a grain of rice.
"It's... What is it? But can it cure the prince's illness? ”
"I won't lie to you, little grandfather, before going to this national temple as a monk, I have studied some, the formula of the poison I have been exposed to when I was a child, you don't have to worry, the prescription of the antidote was left by my father, I remember it deeply, and I didn't think that I could use it one day, even if it is to save the prince, then you can take it!"
Master Chunyuan is not from this country, and his family is dead, so he became a monk.
No one had asked before, but now it seemed that he was indeed a Gentile.
"If this medicine wakes up His Royal Highness, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily, so should the master be prepared?"
Master Chun Teng smiled indifferently, "What do the monks want those rewards?" What's more, the poor monk is old, and he will want to live in peace in the future, the little grandfather must not lead the royal people here, what reward is for you, if I am greedy for those, it will be good to send the antidote directly to the palace in person. ”
In this way, Bai Chuheng took one suspiciously, and after ensuring that there would be no danger, he sent the antidote into the palace.
In the first two days, there was no effect, but on the third day, the prince knew that he had opened his mouth when others fed him porridge, and his fingers occasionally moved, and he often couldn't swallow it when he drank porridge in the past, but now he can swallow it.
On the fifth day, he finally woke up.
When Concubine Xian learned of the happy event in the East Palace, the emperor was in her palace, and she had to pretend to be happy in front of the emperor, and she almost plucked her hands under her sleeves behind her back.
finally calculated that the prince almost died, and blamed Bai Chuheng for being killed by a thousand!
