Chapter 55: The Times Change
In the end, the eldest princess felt a little strange about herself. For the first time in her memory, she felt that way. The nose is sore, and the eyes are sore, as if something is about to slip out of the corner of the eye, like a little girl.
"Good! Good! Good! King Qi said three good words in a row, and his heart was full of grief and indignation. I know what you mean, I don't just understand what you mean, I want to help you. ”
King Qi stood up and ripped off the hairpin that tied her hair, then snatched the sword in her hand, grabbed her hair, and cut it off with a sword.
King Qi threw down his sword, grabbed the hair cut from the eldest princess's head in his hand, and walked away without looking back.
The eldest princess picked up the sword on the ground and sighed.
"People have grown up, but their temper has not changed at all, and they are as reckless as ever."
There were also some of her hairs on the ground, and the eldest princess picked them up, and then said to herself, "If only it could be so simple." ”
In the palace, the prince sat on the couch in a daze. For a whole day, the emperor didn't come to see him, didn't send anyone to see him, and didn't send any will, as if he forgot that he existed alone.
Didn't the emperor really do a fake show this time, and really wanted to abolish him as a prince?
The more the prince thought about it, the more uneasy he became, as if this was really the case. The emperor's attitude towards him changed before, and he began to favor Zhou Shuxuan, could it be said that this time he used the eldest princess to force the palace and made a will to really abolish the prince.
However, in Qingquan Palace, the emperor was obviously still defending him, and let him say that he was drunk to do that, and everything didn't look fake.
He made a mistake in this step, losing both the position of the prince and the favor of the emperor.
He has done all the bad things before, and he has relied on the emperor's favoritism to survive to this day. The emperor is not partial to him now, is that still the previous general ledger?
If you really want to count the total account, the things he did before were enough to cut off his head ten times. Don't say that it is for him to be the prince again, I am afraid that his life will be lost.
The more the prince thought about it on the couch, the more frightened he became, and he was cold from head to toe.
I secretly decided in my heart that no matter what I do, saving my life now is the most important thing.
In the Longde Palace, the emperor and the prince were in the same posture as the prince, thinking about how to get the prince out without a trace, there was always a way to block the mouth of the eldest princess.
In Qingquan Palace, Miaoli didn't close her eyes all night. believed the nonsense of Imperial Doctor Li, and fed Zhou Shuxuan medicine every two hours. From dark until the next day when it is almost dark.
It seems to have a little effect, although Zhou Shuxuanren did not wake up, his face improved a lot. The face, which was as pale as a piece of paper, gradually became a little more bloody.
Miao Li was very happy in her heart, thinking that he would wake up soon.
But until it was dark, Zhou Shuxuan still didn't wake up. I invited a few more imperial doctors to come over and take a look, saying that the prince is not in a bad state now, and he should be able to wake up after drinking medicine according to Imperial Doctor Li's prescription.
In other words, there is no better way but to wait.
During this period, Mama Xi wanted to change Miaoli for a while, because she didn't see Miaoli's state much better, and her face was worse than Zhou Shuxuan's.
Miaoli didn't agree, insisted on staying here, Zhou Shuxuan didn't wake up for a while, and her heart was not at peace for a while.
Finally, when the entire palace was about to be quiet, Zhou Shuxuan woke up.
Zhou Shuxuan woke up groggily, only to feel a splitting headache. This sleep, like a nightmare, did not recover in any way.
Reaching out and scratching at the bed, he touched something cold, like a sword.
I was very surprised in my heart, how could there be a sword on his bed?
There seemed to be a piece of clothing next to the sword, all of which were a mess, and the servants who slept with him were so incapable of doing things. Zhou Shuxuan grabbed the clothes and put them in front of him, wondering whose clothes they were.
But when I looked at it, there seemed to be words on my clothes, and it was still the emperor's handwriting.
"I was born in the spring of Haotian, and the second son of the emperor was drunk and misunderstood. mutilated hands and siblings, and lost the hearts of the people. And he knows his mistakes, thinks that he has no virtue in the East Palace, and asks him to resign as the prince. I conformed to the will of heaven and the people, abolished the position of the second son of the emperor, Prince Shuchen, and never re-established. ”
This is the holy decree of the deposed prince?!
How could such a big event be written on a piece of clothing, and the back was actually stamped with the emperor's private seal. There is no punishment for the abolished prince written later, everything is so unreasonable.
Zhou Shuxuan struggled to sit up, as hard as ever, but his legs still couldn't move.
No, Zhou Shuxuan's memory slowly woke up.
Why can't he move his legs again? Isn't it already good to be able to use strength in the water? He not only swam ashore by himself, but also rescued Miaoli ashore.
Zhou Shuxuan moved again, still the same as before, his legs still did not listen to the command.
"Wonderful...... cough ......" Zhou Shuxuan's throat was dry and uncomfortable, and he shouted out twice with difficulty, "Miaoli, Miaoli." ”
Miao Li is dozing off outside with her head propped up, and her body needs to be repaired in need. Hearing Zhou Shuxuan's voice, a spirit woke up from a dream, ran into the house like the wind, and knelt in front of Zhou Shuxuan's bed: "Lord Wang, are you awake?" You're finally awake, and you're scared to death the slave. ”
Zhou Shuxuan said weakly, "Don't cry." Then he took out the dress and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Now is not the time to cry, Miao Li touched a handful of tears, cleared her thoughts, and told him what the eldest princess did last night.
Miaoli didn't mention the matter of falling into the water, and went straight to the point, "Last night, the slave maid had already come up with evidence in front of the eldest princess to identify the prince, who was the prince who harmed the prince. The emperor was still partial to the prince, and the eldest princess couldn't listen to it anymore, so she put a sword against the emperor's neck and forced the emperor to write an edict abolishing the prince. ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't know how dangerous the scene was last night, just hearing her say that he felt a cold sweat on his back. His aunt is really not afraid of heaven and earth.
"And now?"
"The second prince was confined in the Xian'an Palace, and the emperor took away all the titles of the eldest princess, and let her cut her hair as a nun, and after the Lantern Festival, she will be shaved."
Zhou Shuxuan slammed the bed board hard, why did so many things happen overnight? There was no way to stop him.
The title of the eldest princess is not like others, she is fought with her life with a shot and a sword on the battlefield, and it is a pity that it is gone.
Glancing at the clothes on his hand again, "This...... Such a child's decree is useless, the eldest princess is more than worth the loss this time. ”
Miao Li held back her tears and said the only good news in the past two days, "The emperor has issued an official edict today, announcing that the world has abolished the crown prince." ”
"Really?" Zhou Shuxuan obviously didn't believe it. No wonder he doesn't believe it, according to the emperor's previous style, he will not admit it, and it is impossible to return the next official edict.
In fact, it is not surprising that the emperor is like this, he has his plans in his heart. He wants to take advantage of this abolition of the prince to make the prince have a sense of crisis in his heart, so that he can teach the prince well.
The emperor's thoughts Zhou Shuxuan, an outsider, didn't understand it, let alone an insider like the prince.
Miao Li said with certainty: "It's true, I have burned the watch to tell the heavens." ”
This is the news that Mama Xi found out, and there will be no fakes.
The struggle of many days has come true today, and Zhou Shuxuan is not very happy in his heart. Just because the eldest princess was folded inside, even ten princes couldn't exchange for an eldest princess.
Zhou Shuxuan asked eagerly: "How is the eldest princess now?" ”
Miao Li was also paying attention to the state of the eldest princess, and replied clearly: "Now I am closed to the guests, and no one is seen, only King Qi has entered the mansion for a while." ”
Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "What about the emperor and the abolished prince?" "When he woke up, the situation had changed dramatically, and he wanted to understand it clearly.
Miao Li knew that he would definitely ask when he woke up, so he inquired very clearly, "The emperor is not seen in the Longde Palace." The prince was very calm and there was nothing abnormal, no crying or trouble. ”
Everything he wanted to know understood, Zhou Shuxuan leaned on the bed and began to analyze the current situation without saying a word.
The abolition of the crown prince does not mean that the emperor has really given up on the crown prince. The emperor's bearing in front of the crown prince is probably wider than the sea. But if the emperor wants to re-appoint the second prince as the crown prince, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
The emperor did not give the eldest princess death at that time, proving that the eldest princess has no worries about her life now, but it is a pity that she has a title that she spelled out with a sword. However, the emperor is also generous, and such a thing has not been given to the eldest princess.
The situation seems to have changed drastically, and it seems as if nothing has changed.
All this has both advantages and disadvantages for him, and he still has no way to fight.
Zhou Shuxuan was stubbled by Miaoli just now, and forgot about his leg, and now he remembers it.
Miao Li saw him stunned on the bed for a long time, quietly waiting for his instructions on the side, and waited for a long time.
"Go and call me a doctor."
Called the Imperial Doctor? Miaoli asked nervously: "Lord Wang, are you uncomfortable?" For a while, I forgot about the so-called rules, and reached out and put it directly on his forehead, and there was no fever.
Zhou Shuxuan gently pushed her hand away, not ready to tell her about his legs, he didn't want to make another person happy.
"You don't have to worry about it, just call a doctor."
Zhou Shuxuan's situation at that time was so serious that he felt that there was little hope. After taking Imperial Physician Li's medicine, he really woke up, which shows that Imperial Physician Li still has some ability.
Miao Li thought of his godly words again, no one had ever said anything like that, maybe he could really see something. Such a strange person appeared, and Miao Li wanted to introduce him to Zhou Shuxuan. So he asked the palace maid to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for it, and asked for Dr. Li by name.
In the Tai Hospital, Imperial Physician Li held a wine bottle in his left hand and peanuts in his right hand. A sip of wine, a sip of peanuts, and a happy meal.
It wasn't him on duty today, but he estimated that Zhou Shuxuan should wake up today, and he made a special trip to wait for Zhou Shuxuan to send someone to invite.
After waiting for a little half a day, I finally waited for the people of Qingquan Palace.
Imperial Doctor Li didn't excuse himself, and left with the medicine box himself.
Before Imperial Physician Li entered the house, Zhou Shuxuan smelled a strong smell of wine. Who was so bold as to dare to go into the inner room to drink?
Before he could start cursing, he saw a man dressed as a doctor come in from outside.
Zhou Shuxuan turned his head to look at Miaoli and asked her with his eyes what kind of ghost doctor she invited?
Miaoli explained: "The prince woke up after drinking his medicine, so the slave maid asked him to come over again." ”
Imperial Doctor Li is three words in Zhou Shuxuan's eyes, unreliable!
