Chapter 380: Fate hangs in the balance

Xiao Wangzhi was very happy to learn that Shu Yu would enter the palace to accompany him after the New Year, and even when he sent Han Yan and Shu Yu out of the palace, he only had reluctance and expectation, and there was no sadness and insoluble last time.

Back in Hanfu, the two told Han Qian and others about Emperor Yuanjia's request for Shu Yu to stay in the palace to take care of Xiao Wangzhi.

Everyone listened to it, happy and worried.

Happily, Shu Yu entered the palace, so they didn't have to worry about Xiao Wang's loneliness in the East Palace; The worry is that as a courtier's wife, Shu Yu has a lot of discomfort when she lives in the East Palace, and it is easy to provoke gossip.

"You don't have to worry about that." Shu Yu said with a smile, "The Holy Lord has already said that he will issue a decree to explain the reason, and summon me to the East Palace to continue to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the grounds that I was the former 'nurse' of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then relaxed slightly.

Although Emperor Yuan Jiadi's move may not be able to completely quell the gossip that may arise from this, it is better than nothing, as long as Shu Yu's entry into the palace is "justified", then they are not afraid of outsiders chewing their tongues.

Next, I just waited patiently for Emperor Yuanjia's decree to summon me.

However, what they didn't expect was that instead of waiting for Emperor Yuanjia's edict to summon him, they waited for the news that Emperor Yuanjia's old illness had relapsed and his life was hanging by a thread.

The entire capital was suddenly shaken, and even the Lantern Festival, which was originally lively and joyful, was deserted because of this.

"You and I quickly enter the palace, and you Zijing stays outside the palace, in case something happens, you can take care of it!" Han Qian immediately made a decision and instructed the second son.

Han Duan and Han Yan naturally had no objection to this, and immediately prepared for their own battles.

"You have entered the palace, but you must find an opportunity to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, and tell Wang Ping to protect His Royal Highness carefully." Before leaving, Shu Yu repeatedly admonished, and his eyebrows were sad and uneasy.

"Don't worry!" Han Qian held Shu Yu's shoulders and solemnly replied, "If it weren't for the sake of taking care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be enough for my father to enter the palace alone to visit the Holy Lord, so why take me?" ”

Shu Yu thought about it, so he nodded, and together with Meng and the others, he sent Han Qian and Han Yan, father and son, into the palace overnight to ask An to visit.

Also after receiving the news, they immediately rushed to the palace with anxiety, as well as a number of civil and military dignitaries such as Sun Changyu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Jing Zhaoyin, all of whom were in a hurry and full of worry.

Originally, the harem did not allow courtiers to enter at will without an edict, but now that Emperor Yuanjia's life is on the line, who cares about this.

A group of courtiers arrived at the Dehehuan Hall one after another, only to see that martial law had been imposed in the store, and no one was allowed to enter at will except for the imperial doctor who saw the doctor and the palace people who served them.

Zhao Guifei sent Gonggong Gao to entertain the ministers who came to visit after hearing the news, and she stayed by Emperor Yuanjia's side every step of the way.

Even Empress Dowager Zhao, Empress Wang and Xiao Wangzhi could only sit in the palace at this time and watch the people of the Imperial Doctor Palace busy and anxious.

From night to dawn, and then to midday, Emperor Yuan Jia's condition was barely stabilized, but when Emperor Yuan Jia would wake up, even Zhang Yuanju, who was born in a medical family and had rich experience, could not make a decision.

To put it bluntly, they did their best and obeyed the mandate of heaven, they did what they had to do, and the rest could only look at the creation of Emperor Yuanjia.

Zhao Guifei was very dissatisfied with this, and immediately scolded Zhang Yuanju and others, if Emperor Yuanjia couldn't wake up, let them be buried with them, and said that the Imperial Doctor's Department was full of quacks, and he wanted to issue an edict to summon strange people and strange things, and enter the palace to treat Emperor Yuanjia, Yunyun.

This time, Empress Dowager Zhao and Empress Wang, who have always liked to sing against Zhao Guifei, did not fight against her again, but after Zhao Guifei scolded her, she coldly ordered the Imperial Medical Department to go all out and be sure to pull Emperor Yuanjia back from the Ghost Gate.

After hearing this, Sun Changyu and others could only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and immediately planned to issue a notice to solicit famous doctors from all over the country to enter the palace for the diagnosis and treatment of Emperor Yuan Jia.

"Zisuke, can you contact Yanagi Majin right now?" Han Qian asked in a low voice, frowning.

Han Yan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that Han Qian wanted to invite Liu Zhenren into the palace to treat Emperor Yuanjia.

"I'll give it a try." Han Yan thought about it, gritted his teeth and whispered.

Master Liu Zhenren is proficient in the art of Qihuang, and the alchemy technique is even more superb, if he can find him in time, he can't really save the life of Emperor Yuan Jia for the time being.

Although the likes of King Qi have now been imprisoned, and Xiao Wangzhi is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Treasure Book and the heir of the future Great Zhou, but in the current situation, if Emperor Yuanjia dies, it will inevitably make Xiao Wangzhi's next road to becoming the emperor more difficult.

Han Yan immediately found an opportunity to find Wang Ping, and told him the way he contacted his master Liu Zhenren on weekdays, and asked him to mix in the guards who went to Zhang Bang to seek medical treatment, and quickly handed the news to Liu Zhenren's ears.

It is also a coincidence that Liu Zhenren traveled all over the world to collect medicinal materials for alchemy, and recently happened to pass through the capital, and saw that there were guards posting the imperial list, so he took a curious look.

At this glance, he saw the message left by the closed disciple who had not seen him for many years, and he was shocked, and after a little hesitation, he stepped forward and recommended himself.

Although he has already peeked through the red dust and lived in seclusion, he is bent on asking immortals and alchemizing to prolong his life, he does not ask about the ordinary people of Hongchen, and he is not willing to have anything to do with the imperial power, but he can't pretend not to see the help of the closed disciples.

The guards in charge of posting the imperial list did not expect that someone would come to "unveil the imperial list" as soon as the notice was posted, and looked at the Taoist in front of him in a daze, with a crane hair and a childish face, a fairy style, and a little ability, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately brought people into the palace excitedly.

Wang Ping didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and took advantage of the work along the way to tell Liu Zhenren about his entrustment by Han Yan and Emperor Yuan Jia's critical illness.

In front of the others, Liu Zhenren had a lot of things that were inconvenient to say, so he just nodded in agreement, and just went all the way into the palace.

When they arrived at the Hehuan Palace, the courtiers and concubines were also very surprised to see that the guards who went to post the imperial list brought back a Taoist with crane hair and a childish face and strong spirits so quickly.

Even Han Yan, his own apprentice, was in disbelief for a moment when he saw his master Liu Zhenren appear in front of him at first glance.

However, now is not the time to solve the curiosity, and it is not suitable for the master and apprentice to greet each other, so after Liu Zhenren briefly introduced himself, he entered the inner room to treat Emperor Yuan Jia under the guidance of the palace people.

The consultation was made at nightfall.

There was silence all around, only the bright candlelight in the hall and the light of the stars and moon in the sky were shining, and the solemn and cold silence made people's hearts heavy.

Han Yan silently stayed by Xiao Wangzhi's side, looking towards the inner room from time to time, and as the night deepened, his expression became more and more solemn.
