Chapter 923: Physiological Reactions to Shame
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaodong and Dr. Liu, accompanied by Prince Renzhi, had breakfast together.
During the whole breakfast, Prince Renzhi did not say too much, although he was still more polite to Li Xiaodong and Dr. Liu, but Li Xiaodong could see that Prince Renzhi had no hope of inviting a "miracle doctor" to detoxify the emperor.
He has no appetite, eats very little, and frowns from time to time, and his heart is heavy.
"Father, Dr. Liu, Mr. Gladiolus Dong, good morning. ”
When breakfast was almost over, Yumiko Sagawa, who was wearing an apricot-colored printed kimono, had a face like snow, and bright eyes and bright teeth, apparently came to the restaurant shortly after bathing.
"Just now, someone from the dormitory said that His Majesty's condition has worsened again, and the current situation is a bit urgent, and they want to ask Dr. Liu to go over and have a look, but those imperial doctors are helpless. ”
When Dr. Liu heard this, he was a little anxious, and now he had to say that there was something he didn't want to do, and that was to go for a follow-up visit.
What if the emperor suddenly hangs in his hands when he is seeing a doctor?
He simply put down his chopsticks, bowed down and said: "Yes, I'm sorry, Prince Renzhi, His Royal Highness Yumiko, in fact, there is a sentence I wanted to say last night, Your Majesty's poison is very strange, I have practiced medicine for so many years, I have never seen it, I am really powerless, I can't detoxify Your Majesty at all." ”
This is almost what Li Xiaodong said to him, and when he said it at the moment, he was really nervous.
Prince Renzhi was silent for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, not blaming him.
For Dr. Liu to say this, in fact, last night, he was mentally prepared.
"Doctor Liu, don't apologize, I know you've done your best......" He sighed, put down his chopsticks, and couldn't eat anymore.
Sitting next to him, Li Xiaodong looked at his expression and felt that he was quite pitiful.
According to the situation introduced by Yusuke Yamamoto in the past two days, this prince is actually quite good, with a loyal personality and kindness to others, and now it seems that he is not wrong.
Originally, this prince just wanted to be a peaceful prince who had no quarrel with the world, but unfortunately once he was involved in the battle for the throne, he was no longer peaceful.
Li Xiaodong shook his head secretly, restrained his overflowing sympathy, and didn't say anything.
Yumiko, like her father, was in a sad mood, but she didn't show it too much, bowed slightly, and still looked very calm.
"Since that's the case, then don't bother, Yumiko will go to the dormitory to see her grandfather first. ”
She bowed and retreated, and was about to go out, when there was a rustling of footsteps outside the prince's palace, and a group of armed guards ran over, led by an officer, and guarded the palace gate.
"All obey the order, surround the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!" The officer waved his hand, and the guards quickly dispersed in formation, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, blocking the front and rear doors tightly.
"What do you want to do, Lieutenant Colonel Ito, why are you surrounding the Prince's Palace?" asked Yumiko with a frown.
"This is my order, and it is also the will of all members of the imperial family, Yumiko, there are some things I want to ask you!" At the gate of the courtyard, Prince Yukawa, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a proud look, entered the compound accompanied by two cronies and officers.
There were several other people behind him, the crown princess Reiko in a white suit skirt, who was carrying an old man in a suit with gray hair and a one-handed cane, and several other people were also accompanying him.
"Uncle ......"
"Ah, it's my uncle......"
Yumiko and Prince Hitochi hurriedly greeted him and bowed to the gray-haired old man with a one-handed cane.
This old man is the younger brother of Emperor Wenqing, the old prince Wencun, and several others are also members of the royal family with higher seniority, all of whom were summoned by the prince's mansion.
"Yumiko, I know that you are hiding something important, and today, in front of your uncle, aunt, your parents, and us old men, you must make it clear as it is!" The old man was holding a one-handed cane in both hands, and he looked like he was not angry.
Seeing this, Prince Renzhi hurriedly stepped forward cautiously and asked him why he was angry with Yumiko, but the old man unceremoniously waved his cane and hit Prince Renzhi on the leg hard, beating Prince Renzhi back again and again, blushing, and not daring to ask more.
"Renzhi, Renzhi, do you know that your family has a good daughter, and she has done something sorry for the royal family!" the old man's face was full of grief and indignation, and he slammed the ground with his cane.
"Uncle, don't be angry, you just got out of the hospital, don't damage your body because of an unscrupulous descendant......" Seeing the old man angry, the crown princess Lingzi hurriedly and obediently supported him, patted him lightly on the back, and the next moment, said softly: "This is not the place to talk, let's go into the hall." ”
The old man held back his anger and said: "I won't go to the hall, just here, in front of the emperor, Yumiko, tell all your unsightly things!"
Yumiko's cheeks were flushed, and she bowed down and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood, Yumiko hasn't done anything unseemly. ”
The crown princess pointed at her and said viciously: "Kneel! Kneel down and speak!"
After Yumiko heard this, she looked at her coldly, and the crown princess snorted coldly: "Yumiko, I am your aunt, this is your uncle, in the face of the scolding of the elders, do you kneel?"
"Yumiko......" Yumiko's mother also came out of the house, and at this moment she was standing with Prince Renzhi, watching her daughter being punished by her elders, she shook her head at her daughter, her eyes were full of anxiety.
The old man saw that Yumiko didn't kneel, so angry that he paused his cane again and again, Yumiko didn't dare to be reckless, after all, he endured his grievances and slowly knelt on the ground.
The crown princess changed her face again, and said softly: "Uncle Wencun, you are not in good health, you should sit down and rest, and Yukawa will ask you questions......" As she spoke, she immediately commanded people to move the seats, and together with Prince Yuchuan, invited a few elders of the royal family to sit down, and had the posture of a collective jury.
At this time, Li Xiaodong and Doctor Liu had already come to the side room, both of them were watching behind the window, Li Xiaodong guessed in his heart that Yumiko was going to be unlucky, and the prince's mansion brought so many royal families over, it must be to interrogate her about the origin of the rejuvenation pill, Yumiko was under pressure, maybe she would be involved, but the poor thing was that where Li Xiaodong was, she couldn't say at all.
However, he guessed wrong, and the first thing he interrogated Yumiko had nothing to do with the pill.
Prince Yukawa stepped forward with his hands behind his back and asked coldly, "Yumiko, now the elders want to know, where did you go last night and what did you do?"
