Chapter 114: The Willows and Flowers

As soon as he heard that the emperor was coming, the palace suddenly fell silent. After thinking about it, Concubine Chen made up her mind to hand over this woman to the emperor for disposal. Just by saying that "there is no cure", it is enough to cure her for a capital crime, and she will not say it when she says it.

The emperor originally wanted to see how it was going, but as soon as he came in, it was a messy scene, and he immediately frowned and shouted, "What is this doing? What a system! ”

Concubine Chen, who was about to make a preemptive strike, opened her mouth and was about to complain, but saw that Lin Mubai also followed from behind, and somehow swallowed back the words she was ready.

"Lan'er!" Lin Mubai saw that half of Zhilan's face was red and swollen, and his heart was suddenly furious. When he entered the palace and learned that his daughter had also been brought over after he left, he insisted on coming here to have a look, and sure enough, something happened.

Seeing her father appear unexpectedly, Zhilan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but she couldn't help but let the tears fall, and when she saw that everyone knelt down towards the emperor, she gritted her teeth and knelt down.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Chen said while holding a handkerchief to wipe away her tears: "Concubine Fang is anxious. As soon as she heard that the emperor's illness was incurable, the concubine was a little out of shape in a fit of anger. ”

"Incurable?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl on the ground who bowed his head and was silent, and then turned his head and asked Lin Mubai, "Is that your girl?" ”

"Exactly." Lin Mubai responded, bowed down and saluted Concubine Chen, and said: "Concubine Chen, the minister dares to ask, the emperor took great pains to get the little girl to the palace early in the morning, is it specially invited to humiliate you?" It is not difficult to hear that he was full of anger in his words, not only questioning Concubine Chen, but also piggybacking on his dissatisfaction with the emperor.

The emperor and Concubine Chen were both stunned by this. Seeing that the emperor was already a little unhappy, Concubine Chen had confidence in her heart, so she also said coldly: "Lord Lin is not mean when he says this!" Naturally, she was invited to look up to her medical skills, but she didn't want this girl to speak falsely and dare to curse the prince. This palace is just out of kindness, teaching her a lesson for Lord Lin. Otherwise, if you say anything to her, her heart will be punished! ”

Zhilan listened to Concubine Chen's words there, one "curse" after another, and finally couldn't help but want to refute. As soon as I looked up, I saw a man in brocade standing at the door of the main hall not far away. I saw that his whole body was dressed in a gloomy blue color, only the jade on his waist reflected a bright green light in the sunlight. Only then did Zhilan recognize that this person was the third prince Sheng Xuanyuan.

At the same time, it was as if a beam of light suddenly penetrated her mind, and Zhilan suddenly felt that her eyes were bright and her heart brightened, and an excellent idea came to her. I only heard her say loudly: "Concubine Chen's ability to reverse black and white is really admirable. The courtiers have never cursed the four princes for half a sentence, and this father-in-law and the palace maids and sisters can testify. ”

Everyone present looked at Zhilan together, only to see that although she was kneeling on the ground, she was standing tall and raising her face without fear, and they couldn't help but be surprised at how bold this little girl was. Concubine Chen couldn't imagine that this girl would dare to ridicule herself, so angry that her voice trembled slightly, and she only heard her say: "There is no cure, didn't you say this?" ”

"Not bad." Zhilan readily admitted.

"Your Majesty, look ......," Concubine Chen hurriedly turned her head to the emperor and said. I saw that the emperor was staring at Zhilan intently at this time, and seemed to be quite interested. He raised his chin and said to Zhilan, "You don't have to kneel, just get up and talk back." ”

So Zhilan stood up from the ground, and said without being arrogant or humble: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm, you should tell me, what do you think of the illness of the fourth prince?" The Emperor asked as he walked over to the table and sat down.

"The condition of the fourth prince is indeed quite tricky, and it is very difficult. However, according to the courtiers, although there is no cure for this disease, it does not mean that it cannot be cured. ”

"Oh? So, do you have a way? ”

"Yes."

This short answer can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was surprised. These days, they have become accustomed to watching doctors shake their heads and sigh and say ambiguous prevarications. I didn't want this girl to be so determined today, and she was shocked, so everyone looked at her, all curious about what she would do next. Lin Mubai looked at her daughter with a confident look, but her heart was full of worry. Only Concubine Chen looked at it coldly, but she was even more convinced that the poison in the four princes was matched by the woman in front of her.

"Tell me about it." The emperor looked at Zhilan hopefully and said:

"Yes." Zhilan saluted lightly and said, "The courtiers heard that three years ago, the third prince and my brother were seriously injured, and it is said that the third prince was also poisoned by a strange poison at that time, and his life was in danger for a while. ”

The corners of Concubine Chen's eyes twitched imperceptibly, I don't know what she is doing mentioning that matter at this time? Could it be that the third child found out? That's why revenge? She turned her head inadvertently, only to find that Sheng Xuanyuan had walked in at some point, standing quietly beside her, bluffing her shoulders slightly and feeling uneasy.

I only heard Zhilan continue: "Later, thanks to Dr. Xu Hexuan's secret recipe, the third prince escaped. In the whole world, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second person who can be so lucky. The courtiers said that they were lucky, not only because he was able to escape from this poison, but more importantly, because after that catastrophe, the third prince himself also produced substances in his own blood that could resist strong poisons, so that he could not invade all kinds of poisons from now on. ”

Hearing this, everyone let out a slight exclamation, and the emperor saw that the third prince was also there, so he asked, "Third son, is what she said true?" ”

Sheng Xuanyuan himself really didn't know this, but he knew that Zhilan had her own calculations, and it was better for him not to dismantle the stage, so he replied: "Exactly." Since that serious injury, Erchen has not been afraid of poison closely. ”

The Emperor was rather relieved and said, "This is really ...... If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future! If you think about the people who hurt you in the first place, you must not have thought of this. ”

Lin Mubai glanced at Concubine Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, only to see her pursing her lips and tense her face, staring at the corner of the table without saying a word.

I heard the emperor then ask: "But I am still a little strange, what you said is related to the illness of the fourth prince?" ”

"Nature has a lot to do with it." Zhilan said, "The difficulty in the poison of the four princes is that there are many types, but the toxicity is not so strong. Therefore, the courtiers believed that only a little blood of the third prince could dissolve all these thousands of poisons. ”
