Chapter 51 Human Affection
The prince looked at He Xuan's eyes as cold as ice, and said in a resolute tone: "I said no, I don't have to!" This is the East Palace! Imperial sister, please go back! ”
He Xuan looked at the prince like this, and seemed to understand in his heart that most of the prince was a person who knew the inside story.
Fortunately, He Xuan asked the palace people to invite Empress Dowager Jiang and his father early on, otherwise, He Xuan may not be able to get any benefits from the prince.
There was a dead silence in the room, Zhao Rui'er looked at He Xuan, and then at the crown prince Ji Rong, with a casual look on her face.
Jiang Wanrong, who was lying on the couch, her face was as white as snow, and she was still unconscious.
He Xuan stood quietly in place, she was waiting, waiting for Empress Dowager Jiang and her father to come to the East Palace. In this way, all these intrigues will be revealed.
"Empress Dowager Jiang has arrived! Zhou Tianzi arrived! After the eunuch announced in a loud voice, two people with supreme and noble status walked in front and back.
The three people in the room all saluted before slowly standing up.
Empress Dowager Jiang has spent most of her life in the harem, and as soon as she entered this house, she immediately sensed the tense atmosphere. With the majesty of an elder, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
He Xuan immediately bowed solemnly to the Empress Dowager Jiang and said, "I heard that the crown princess is seriously ill, and her granddaughter came to visit the crown princess today. Who knows, she was stopped by several palace people at the door, and the granddaughter was angry, so she rushed in. After that, I saw that the side concubine Zhao was feeding the crown princess some kind of decoction, and then the prince also came in. The granddaughter wanted to let a few more doctors take a look at the princess's illness, but the prince flatly refused. ”
He Xuan skillfully vaguely vaguely passed what he had done, and Empress Dowager Jiang examined it in several ways when she heard this.
Empress Dowager Jiang briefly asked the prince a few words about the princess's illness, and when she heard that she had fallen into an evil spirit, she looked a little taboo, so she didn't ask more.
As for the thin woman lying on the sickbed, Empress Dowager Jiang didn't take a look, so she motioned for He Xuan to leave with her.
He Xuan's relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang was very ordinary, and she sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager Jiang, just because Jiang Wanrong was also from the Jiang family, and hoped that the Empress Dowager Jiang could play a key role, but she didn't expect the Empress Dowager Jiang to be so afraid of ghosts and gods.
There was no other way, and He Xuan solemnly knelt down in front of Emperor Zhou Ming and asked again and again.
Emperor Zhou Ming has always been the most spoiled and affectionate, and he saw that this kind daughter just wanted to ask one more imperial doctor to treat the crown princess, so he nodded and agreed.
Zhang Dajian was just about to walk out of the princess's dormitory, when he was stopped by the people around the Empress Dowager Jiang.
"Let the Imperial Physician who is guarding the door go." Empress Dowager Jiang said coldly.
"What? Queen Mother, what is this? Emperor Zhou Ming frowned and asked in confusion.
Empress Dowager Jiang sighed, glared at the prince and Zhao Rui'er fiercely, and then said helplessly: "Wanrong, this kid can't think about it, and wants to reconcile with Rong'er." The dignified prince, how can he have the experience of being abandoned by a woman? The mourning family persuaded him, but to no avail. In desperation, the mourning family was in charge, and ordered them to poison Wanrong, and after a few days, they said that it was good that the evil was dead. ”
Hearing this, Hexuan was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Empress Dowager Jiang is so vicious!
No, she's just an accomplice, yes... He Xuan's eyes quickly glanced at Zhao Rui'er's face, the intriguing expression just now, the casual expression just now, it was her! It had to be her!
He Xuan once said to Jiang Wanrong that she would talk to Zhao Rui'er in detail, who was eager to be the crown princess and would definitely help her reconcile.
Judging from the current appearance, Zhao Rui'er must be a disobedient person, and she has to kill Jiang Wanrong to death, so she is willing to be her crown princess with peace of mind.
What to do? He Xuan Baipaw scratched her heart, restless, she couldn't watch Jiang Wanrong die. But the will of the Queen Mother, even if it is the father and the emperor, will not easily refute it.
At this critical moment, a eunuch from the East Palace hurried in, and one staggered to the ground, and then held the hat on his head in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Jiang Taishi and Jiang Sikou are now standing at the door of the East Palace, saying that they must see the crown princess." ”
Jiang Sikou is Jiang Wanrong's father, the son of Jiang Taishi, and the elder brother of Mrs. Jiang. Si Kou is one of the six secretaries, in charge of prisons, pickets and other matters. In the Great Zhou, the status of the six kings was second only to Dazai and Sangong.
"If they are not summoned, how can they enter the palace at will?" Empress Dowager Jiang had anger on her face, and that anger just covered up the panic in her eyes.
Emperor Zhou Ming shook his head and said softly: "Queen Mother, you have forgotten, Taishi Jiang has a token given by the first emperor, and the front is facing the harem, and the passage is unimpeded." ”
He Xuan looked at the expression on Emperor Zhou Ming's face as if he was quite helpless, and he had been sitting on the side listening and watching silently, as if there was a stage in front of him.
Jiang Taishi's status in the government and the opposition is transcendent, and he is a cousin and brother with Empress Dowager Jiang, and it is not inappropriate for people to come to see their granddaughter.
In desperation, Empress Dowager Jiang had no choice but to wave her hand, and the eunuch immediately ran out to guide the two ministers standing outside the palace gate.
He Xuan's heart was only half let go, and then she felt the cold gaze from Empress Dowager Jiang. That means telling and telling her not to say much for a while.
Jiang Taishi hurriedly walked in, although he was old, his gray beard was scattered on his chest, but his steps were very vigorous, and he felt like he was getting old and strong. Behind him was the tall Jiang Sikou, whose meticulously combed hair really had the majesty of Sikou. It's just that both of them are full of anxiety.
After saluting, Jiang Sikou hurried to Jiang Wanrong's bed, while Jiang Taishi stood in front of Emperor Zhou Ming to speak.
"I heard that the crown princess is not very sick this time, but have you seen the imperial doctor? What is the disease? Jiang Sikou shook the unconscious Jiang Wanrong and asked hurriedly.
The people in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to speak, for fear that they would be blamed by Empress Dowager Jiang for saying something wrong.
Empress Dowager Jiang pretended to be sad and said, "Look, the imperial doctor said that it was an evil spirit, and the medicine stone may be ineffective." 'M afraid... It's time to hire a mage. ”
He Xuan looked at Empress Dowager Jiang's pretentious appearance with cold eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart, this imperial grandmother is really not simple.
"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!" A palace maid shouted loudly outside, "It was the slave maid who did not protect the master well, so that the master was poisoned!" ”
It didn't matter if this shout made everyone in the room look different.
Jiang Sikou hurriedly walked to the door of the room, brought the palace maid in, looked at it fixedly, and said, "You are the dowry girl next to the crown princess?" What did you just say? ”
"The master still remembers the slave!" The little palace maid said gratefully, looked at the bed, knelt on the ground and said: "The master only told the prince and the concubine the day before yesterday that he wanted to reconcile with the prince, and the next day he fell ill. The master was originally in good health, but he must have been poisoned by the Zhao family! ”
He Xuan looked at the little palace maid very movingly, thanks to her loyal protector.
Jiang Sikou listened to the words of the little palace maid, his face was full of horror and anger, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "That's the case, it's better to ask the imperial doctors to take a look, right and wrong, you can know at a glance." ”
When Emperor Zhou Ming heard this, he glanced at Empress Dowager Jiang from the corner of his eye, but the latter didn't show anything, so Emperor Ming said: "Just according to what Aiqing said!" ”
After a while, the imperial doctors rushed over. The expressions of each imperial physician after diagnosing the pulse are very intriguing.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Sikou was a little anxious and said, "Doctors, I don't know what the princess's condition is?" ”
Several imperial physicians shook their heads and sighed, and one of them couldn't help but say, "I have never seen such a disease in my life!" Another imperial physician chimed in: "Yes, yes, could it be an evil spirit?" ”
Jiang Sikou's expression was full of grief, and he only felt that his beloved daughter might have no way to live.
The imperial physician checked the pulse for a long time, and checked in front of the crown princess's bed for a while before replying: "Your Majesty, Weichen has seen something different. Weichen thought that the crown princess was probably poisoned by a very rare poison. ”
"Imperial Physician Wang, you don't want it..." Empress Dowager Jiang was about to reprimand Imperial Physician Wang, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
"What? You say my son was poisoned? Jiang Sikou seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and hurriedly asked.
"It seems so. Weichen vaguely remembered that there was an ancient book that recorded that there was a precious poisonous flower called Drunken Immortal Peach in the Western Regions, which was said to be very beautiful, but it was highly poisonous. People who have been poisoned may be unconscious, have a dry mouth, flushed skin, a rapid heartbeat, and may hallucinate. ”【1】
"Yes, yes, my master had this symptom from the beginning!" The little palace maid said loudly.
Jiang Sikou listened to the words of the two, and had a number in his heart, and asked slowly: "I don't know if Imperial Doctor Wang has a solution?" ”
"I've never seen this disease with my own eyes, and as for the solution, I have to read books to find out." Imperial Physician Wang said with a look of shame.
"At this time, it's all up to Imperial Doctor Wang to bother a lot!" After saying that, Jiang Sikou bowed respectfully to Imperial Physician Wang.
Master Jiang stood aside for a long time and didn't speak, he had been silently observing everyone's expressions, and at this moment he understood most of them, so he said: "Since Wanrong has long wanted to reconcile with the prince, then I will take Wanrong back to the house, and trouble Imperial Doctor Wang to come to Jiang Mansion to take care of it." ”
"Cousin, you see that Wanrong's child is still sick, it's better to raise it in the East Palace!" Empress Dowager Jiang said with a rare smile.
Master Jiang said in a calm and firm male voice: "Thank you cousin for your kindness!" If Wanrong continues to stay here, I'm afraid she will really lose her life. ”
In the face of the younger generation, the Empress Dowager Jiang can still dictate and justify nonsense. But to her cousin, Jiang Taishi, who said everything to the Jiang family, although she knew in her heart that the other party had already seen through these tricks, she had to hold back the words in her heart and squeezed out a little smile.
