In the palace, after Liu Xin found Imperial Doctor Hao from the Imperial Doctor's Room, he led Imperial Doctor Hao to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

Along the way, Imperial Doctor Hao seemed to have lost his soul, his expression was in a trance, and he couldn't help but tremble, so that he walked slowly.

Liu Xin urged eagerly: "Imperial Doctor Hao, we have to hurry up." The emperor is furious, don't let the emperor wait for a long time. ”

Hearing Long Yan's anger, Imperial Doctor Hao panicked even more, biting his lip and asking, "Lord Liu, what is the matter with the emperor looking for a lower official?" ”

Liu Xin pretended not to hear and did not answer.

Imperial Doctor Hao was covered in cold sweat and couldn't help but ask again.

"Lord Liu, why did the emperor find a lower official, can you reveal a thing or two?"

Liu Xin was still silent.

Imperial Doctor Hao couldn't help but ask a few more times.

After a few times, Liu Xin was impatient and replied ambiguously: "The emperor only said that he wanted to see Imperial Doctor Hao, but he didn't know what was going on." ”

Imperial Doctor Hao's heart went up and down, as if he had been caught in an evil spirit, and he was muttering something in his mouth.

Liu Xin carefully tried to hear what Imperial Doctor Hao said, but he couldn't hear anything clearly. However, if Imperial Doctor Hao is like that, it is not difficult for anyone to see the panic in his heart.

Yes, can Imperial Doctor Hao not panic? He was at the mercy of the queen, and when the emperor was in a coma, he announced that the emperor was critically ill, which was a big crime of bullying the king. He should know in his heart, the emperor is looking for him to settle accounts, right? His heart was crumbling with fear, and his steps were very small.

Along the way, Liu Xin impatiently urged, Imperial Doctor Hao, go faster, and urged many times.

Finally, Liu Xin brought Imperial Doctor Hao to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

When Imperial Physician Hao saw the emperor sitting in front of the imperial case, he felt that his legs were weak, and he knelt straight towards the emperor with a pop.

His words were a little intermittent with trembling: "Minister...... Meet...... The Emperor ......"

The emperor's expression was indifferent, a pair of eyes stared gloomily at Imperial Doctor Hao, and he smiled reluctantly: "Imperial Doctor Hao, flat body!" ”

The calm before the storm was especially terrifying. The emperor's calmness made Imperial Doctor Hao even more weak-hearted.

Imperial Physician Hao was taken aback and did not follow the emperor's wishes and got up. Instead, his lips trembled violently: "Your Majesty...... I don't know the emperor...... What's the matter with the minister? ”

is clearly a thief. The emperor was not very happy in his heart, but he held back his anger and smiled gently: "Imperial Doctor Hao, I am looking for you, of course, to let you treat me. Come, come and take a look at me, and see if I'm in good health. ”

He wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Hao, come and show me, is I as you say, and my life is not long? Later, Shengsheng endured. Isn't that cursing oneself when you say that?

Imperial Doctor Hao's heart fell, he didn't understand that the emperor was testing him. His heart was beating unusually and irregularly, and his mind was still clear. He wondered what to do.

Let him step forward to help the emperor take the pulse again, he can't do it. I am afraid that before he can stand up, his legs will tremble with fright. In this way, it will not be completely exposed.

Even if he could endure the uneasiness in his heart and walk in front of the emperor, I am afraid that his hands trembled uncontrollably before he could take the emperor's pulse.

He mustered up the courage to remember that he had stepped forward, but he couldn't stand up in front of the emperor. He couldn't deceive himself anymore, he had to kneel, and he had to give up struggling.

Such a moment is really tormenting. All that filled his mind was his rumor that the emperor was critically ill. He felt like he was on the edge of a cliff, and if he wasn't careful, he would fall and be crushed.

At that time, the queen coerced him to do this, and he was reluctant and helpless. At that time, he thought that the illness could be big or small, and if the emperor woke up soon, he could excuse himself and say that the emperor's dragon body was blessed by heaven, and his own vitality was tenacious and he could defeat the disease. Seeing that the emperor woke up and was fine, everyone was happy, and who would blame him?

He thought so at the time, but where did he think that the emperor himself would reproach him? No, the blame is already considered light. He thought uneasily in his heart, what will the emperor do with him later? Will he be ordered to be executed?

Die? He now feels that it is a relief to die, he has died a hundred times, and he is also guilty of living. It doesn't matter if he dies alone. The point is, I am afraid of affecting my family. I'm afraid that the emperor will get angry and destroy his nine clans.

At this moment, he regretted that he should not have been used by the queen at that time. If you knew today, why bother in the first place? At the beginning, he refused to listen to the mercy of the queen, and it was a big deal to die. Now, I'm afraid it's not as simple as him dying alone.

Imperial Doctor Hao knelt on the ground and did not move for a long time.

The emperor's cold eyes swept around the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet, the sound of nervous heartbeat, and the sound of even breathing were extremely clear in the quiet and treacherous atmosphere.

Such a coercive atmosphere made Liu Xin, an outsider, feel creepy. He coughed dryly and muttered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can the ministers avoid it first?" ”

The situation is not right, Liu Xin wants to retreat.

The emperor restrained his coercion, his face softened a little, and said unhurriedly: "Liu Xin, you are waiting on the side, waiting for my dispatch." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but shudder. How could he not know that the emperor meant to interrogate Imperial Doctor Hao. He had guessed that the emperor was going to investigate Imperial Doctor Hao for spreading rumors that he was critically ill. If it is said that Imperial Doctor Hao has committed the crime of defrauding the monarch, he himself has some things, he did not report it, and concealed it from the emperor, did he also commit the crime of deceiving the monarch?

Thinking like this, Liu Xin couldn't help but burst out of a cold air from the soles of his feet, and the cold air slowly rushed to the top of his head. He began to feel apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what the emperor would do with Imperial Doctor Hao?

Imperial Doctor Hao was like a mirror to him, reflecting his heart, and he was secretly worried about himself.

After a while, the emperor reiterated again: "Imperial Doctor Hao, I asked you to come and help me take a look!" ”

If Imperial Doctor Hao could get up, how could he not get up?

Being persecuted by the emperor repeatedly, Imperial Physician Hao couldn't help trembling, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty! Damn it! Panic! The minister is guilty! ”

So far, he can only confess. Wait, when the emperor asks, he will also be uncontrollable to say it. It's better to confess before the emperor asks him.

Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting. No matter how you say it, if you confess, you can always get a hint of leniency. He is not a clever man, let alone ill-intentioned. He was coerced by the queen to do such a deceitful thing.

He confessed so frankly that the emperor wanted to kill or chop, and he listened to it. However, he never dared to confess the queen.

So, he only confessed his guilt, and then, there were no words. He had to confess his guilt, but he didn't know what to say in order to leave the queen out of the way, and not involve her.

The emperor stared at Imperial Physician Hao for a while, and when he saw Imperial Physician Hao trembling all over, pretending not to know anything, he asked in surprise: "Imperial Physician Hao, what is the crime?" ”

Imperial Doctor Hao's heart trembled, and when he thought of the queen's hideous and terrifying face, he suddenly turned pale. As long as you don't mention the queen, you can say whatever you want.

He bit his lip and said vaguely: "Your Majesty, it is the ministers who are confused for a while, so they will announce to everyone that the emperor is in poor health." The emperor's dragon body Kangtai, the minister is guilty! Ministers should not deceive people. ”

Imperial Doctor Hao's expression was full of excitement, he couldn't wait to take all the blame on himself, and he didn't mention the word queen at all. He planned to take care of everything alone, and he didn't want to shake the queen out.

He was afraid of the queen's crazy revenge.

Hearing this, the emperor's face softened a little. He was originally extremely annoyed with Imperial Doctor Hao, blaming him for harboring evil intentions. Now, seeing that Imperial Doctor Hao is in front of him, he is panicking because of his weak heart, and he is obviously not a big traitor.

If Imperial Doctor Hao was really a wolf's ambition, I am afraid that he would not be afraid of this, let alone admit his past so frankly.

The emperor went through Imperial Doctor Hao in his mind, and seemed to have the impression that Imperial Doctor Hao had not done anything wrong. It is reported that Imperial Doctor Hao has always kept to himself and done his own thing. If this hadn't happened, he would still want to promote Imperial Doctor Hao.

After thinking about it like this, the anger in the emperor's heart disappeared a lot. He thought for a moment and asked, "Imperial Doctor Hao, what is your motive for doing this?" ”

Knowing that Imperial Physician Hao was instructed by others, the emperor deliberately asked Imperial Physician Hao's intentions.

What is the motivation? This stumped Imperial Doctor Hao. If the queen hadn't forced him to do this, how could he have done this?

When the emperor asked, he clearly suspected that he was instructed by someone. The emperor's suspicions were not unreasonable. He is a little imperial doctor, where does he dare to do this?

However, he couldn't shake the queen out. After thinking about it, Imperial Doctor Hao replied weakly: "Your Majesty, the minister was blinded by lard for a while, and he wanted to make more money. ”

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.
