Three days have passed, and Mingyue still hasn't woken up. After the imperial physician Hu in the palace came, he also diagnosed that the princess was fine. He also examined the princess's diet and daily life, and found nothing unusual. The emperor also knew about this, because Lin Mubai was out to calm the chaos for him, but he didn't mean to blame Lin Fu. Everyone's hanging hearts finally fell. Since they all said that they were fine, let her continue to fall asleep. It's better never to wake up, everyone thought to themselves.

For this matter, the emperor only symbolically sent the three princes to visit the princess, and at the same time rewarded some supplements. Speaking of the three princes Sheng Xuanyuan, among the four princes of the Xi Dynasty, only he was born by the queen, with a noble status, and he was a legitimate candidate for the crown prince. When he was three years old, the queen died. The emperor took pity on this motherless child and loved him very much for a few years. But since the most favored Concubine Chen gave birth to the fourth prince Sheng Xuanming eight years ago, the emperor has gradually ignored him. The other two princes have their mother's care, although they are not as favored as the four princes, but their lives are also moisturized. He is the only one who has no mother at a young age, and he has lost his father's favor, so he will inevitably be bullied by several other princes from time to time, and even some palace maids and eunuchs with a little face do not take him seriously. This kind of life made him mature very early, and he formed a depressed and forbearant character, which did not match his age. The emperor saw that he was very calm at a young age, so he let him do his errand early. This time, he was sent to the Lin Mansion, ostensibly to visit the princess courtesy, but in fact, the emperor was suspicious of this matter, and planned to ask the third prince to bring a doctor with the most superb medical skills to investigate again.

Since he was almost poisoned in the Mid-Autumn Festival a year ago, the emperor has become wary of Lin Mubai. He suspected that Lin Mubai might have colluded with the people of the White Lotus Sect when he was in Jiangnan, and deliberately let go of the bandit leader during the encirclement and suppression operation. However, due to the lack of evidence, and the Lin family has made great contributions to the Xi Dynasty for several generations, the emperor's speculation can only be put aside. This Mingyue's incident made his already tense nerves even tighter. In addition to bewitching the public, the White Lotus Sect often uses poison to control its followers. Mingyue couldn't wake up inexplicably, maybe someone was poisoned. If you can find out who is behind the scenes, you may be able to find out the connection between Lin Mubai and the White Lotus Sect.

Mrs. Lin's body was already a little heavy, and it was inconvenient to move, so Guanyun accompanied Sheng Xuanyuan and accompanied the imperial doctor to Meiyuan.

After Sheng Xuanyuan entered the room, he only sat at the table far away, seemingly not caring about his aunt's condition, and only waved his hand for the imperial doctor to come and check. After a careful consultation, the doctor asked Mei Xiang about some daily diet and daily life. After asking, he walked over and said to Sheng Xuanyuan: "Your Highness, what Imperial Doctor Hu said is true, the princess's condition is indeed very healthy, no different from ordinary people. ”

"Are you sure it's not poisoning?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and replied, "The minister has carefully examined it, and there is no sign of poisoning. ”

When Sheng Xuanyuan heard this, he just said coldly: "It's not that there is no poison in this world that can't be eaten. ”

"What you say is that this possibility is not ruled out. However, in his life, he had never heard of a medicine that would show signs like a princess. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is unlikely. ”

"Hmm." Sheng Xuanyuan's face was faint, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking. When the people below were carefully figuring out the master's thoughts, Sheng Xuanyuan got up and walked out, and everyone hurriedly followed behind and left Meiyuan.

When Guanyun was about to send them off in front of the mansion, the third prince was about to get on the horse, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly paused, turned around and walked towards Guanyun, and said in his ear in a very soft voice that only the two of them could hear: "I remember that you have a sister named Zhilan, who is very smart. Heard that you know a little bit about medicine? ”

Guanyun was stunned for a moment by this sudden question, and he couldn't guess the deep meaning, so he had to answer cautiously: "The sister is stubborn by nature, but she just flips through some books and reads it, and she can't be true." ”

Sheng Xuanyuan didn't say anything when he heard this, but just smiled incomprehensibly and got on the horse. Everyone was stunned, and secretly said that the three princes were really sympathetic, and they knew that this face was peerless with a smile, so they were expressionless all day long to improve everyone's work efficiency.

After sending off the three princes and their entourage, before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they received a letter saying that Lin Mubai and his party were already on the way and would arrive in Beijing in the next two days. It is said that Lin Mubai went to Shaanxi to lead the crowd to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop, and the local people were grateful to Dade, and refused to let him leave for a long time. So the Lin Mansion began to get busy up and down non-stop.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study. The emperor was standing at the table and practicing calligraphy, when he heard the eunuch come to report that the third prince was asking to see him, he said without raising his head: "Let him come in." The pen did not stop while talking, and the hand was so sloppy that it was like a cloud of smoke.

After listening to Sheng Xuanyuan's brief and bland report, the emperor asked, "In your opinion, is the opinion of the two imperial physicians Zhao and Hu credible?" ”

Sheng Xuanyuan replied: "Erchen thinks it is very credible. ”

The emperor was not very satisfied when he heard this, and said, "Someone has ordered a rare poison?" ”

"It seems impossible to be Erchen. Princess Mingyue is not an important person, and she can't be guilty of poisoning her. What's more, there are so many diseases in the world, and many diseases are unthinkable and unheard of. This matter is just that the princess is blessed with a shallow life and has contracted a strange disease. ”

"Well, I see. Go down, the errand is well done. ”

"Thank you for your father's praise, and your sons will retire."

Sheng Xuanyuan, who had left the imperial study, looked up at the sky, only to see a large area of burning clouds in the sky arching over the slanting sun and gradually setting in the west, and his mind suddenly floated to the small figure of the small figure he and Guanyun saw in the chair in the Lin Mansion study on that evening a year ago. For some reason, from the moment Dr. Zhao said that there might be this rare poison, he had a strange intuition that the little girl of the Lin family might have something to do with it. But it's just a guess, and he doesn't care if Mingyue is really sick or not. Growing up in the palace since he was a child, he knows all kinds of fighting methods between women, and a person like Mingyue who is right and wrong, even if he is really poisoned, he deserves it.

In the middle of the night, most of the people who had worked hard in the forest house had fallen asleep, and only the lanterns of the night watchman flickered on the road. A dark figure dressed in a nightcoat sprang out of nowhere, and his figure shuttled briskly and quickly from one rooftop to the roof, until the Orchid Garden, where it stopped on the roof of the house where Zhilan lived.
