Chapter 420: Layout
"Back to the emperor, the old slave didn't dare to leave your side an inch, it was outside the old slave who only heard about it, and I heard that it was nearly 20 ministers in the court who jointly impeached Lord Bai for monopolizing the economy of Kyoto, privately bribing people in the rivers and lakes, forming a party, and wanting to rebel. Now it is said that His Royal Highness King De is investigating the account books on the Yintong number, and he is also going to trace down all the properties of Lord Bai. In addition......"
"What else?" the emperor closed his eyes, although he was unwell, but his spirit was much clearer than before, he spoke slowly, his voice was slow, but very powerful: "Say, at this time, what else can't I endure?" The words fell into his throat, and he sighed.
He already knew that being born in heaven was such ruthless and helpless.
The emperor is a Ming monarch, but also a benevolent monarch, and he has not treated his subordinates harshly, for Su Mingbo, the emperor is his master, more like relatives, and now seeing the emperor so stubborn, Su Mingbo's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of desolation of "heroic twilight".
He sniffed and forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Bai family was copied when Dr. Qi sneaked into the palace to treat you, and this is why Lord Bai, Little Master Bai, and their families are all in prison, and Dr. Qi is nowhere to be found now." His Royal Highness King De is now hunting down Doctor Qi all over the city. The old slave felt that it was a little inappropriate for His Royal Highness King De to do this. After all, Doctor Qi once saved the life of His Royal Highness, and served Wan Guifei Niangniang, and he has a lot of merit, and now he is like this, very, very ......."
Su Mingbo couldn't find a suitable word to describe it for a while, and he was afraid of colliding with his master, so he didn't say it for a while.
"Very ungrateful, not emotional. The Emperor's slightly hoarse voice sounded faintly.
Su Mingbo hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The old slave has trespassed." ”
"I said this, and it has nothing to do with you, what are you nervous about?" the emperor moved, braced his arms and tried to sit up.
Su Mingbo hurriedly stacked two bright yellow brocade soft pillows together, cushioned him behind the emperor's back, helped him get up, and said in a low voice: "The emperor must be careful about his body, nothing is as important as your body." ”
The emperor snuggled on the soft pillow, tilted his head back and let out a long breath, and said for a while: "I know that even if I want to go to see Manqiu, I am not in a hurry at this time, I still have many things to arrange. "For so many years, I have been called a concubine, and for a long time I haven't heard the name of the boudoir that used to be greasy when I was in the palace, Su Mingbo almost didn't react to what the emperor said was Wan Guifei.
Su Mingbo looked at the pale and stubble newborn emperor, and his heart became indescribably depressed and sad.
He has followed the emperor for the longest time, so he naturally knows the emperor's mind best. In the emperor's heart, Concubine Wan is actually the woman he loves the most. It's just that as an emperor, it is impossible to favor one person.
The emperor's illness, in addition to being poisoned, was too sad because of Concubine Wan's sudden departure, and it also had something to do with it.
The emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Su Mingbo crying and lowering his head.
Does he want a servant to have mercy at this time?
The Emperor's eyes became resolute. Even if his life comes to an end, he will never lose his courage.
"I know what you're talking about. The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What else is going on these days?"
Su Mingbo thought for a while and said, "There is nothing else." During this period, His Royal Highness the Second Highness, His Royal Highness the Third Highness, His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness, Concubine Wu Niangniang and all the palace concubines often came to visit and serve, and they were all very dedicated. ”
When the emperor heard this, he nodded and sneered: "These are just some superficial efforts, and they are not worth anything." ”
"Your Majesty......" Su Mingbo hesitated for a moment, or asked, "What are you going to do with Lord Bai?"
The emperor said: "Since he has been impeached, then he will be tried seriously." Those who are clear will be self-purifying, and there will be no hindrance. I thought that Qi had avoided the fate of being arrested because she had entered the palace to treat me, but now that she was hiding in the shadows, she should be very anxious. I remember that her brother Yuan was only more than four months old, and the second child was putting the baby in prison as well?"
"Yes. Su Mingbo bowed his head.
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and after a long time, Fang said lightly: "It seems that his heart has been raised by me." Su Mingbo, you go and pass on the third child immediately. ”
"Your Majesty, your body should be sent to the imperial doctor first. ”
"I've been sick for so many days, and the imperial doctors are helpless, but the Qi family has cured me, what's the use of calling them to see it now?"
The emperor's meaning was clear.
He was afraid that the doctor would not be satisfied, and even use his hands and feet.
Su Mingbo felt sad in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The old slave knows, if only she could find Dr. Qi soon, she must have a way to heal the emperor." ”
"yes. But we must also solve these troubles first, otherwise, where will we have the face to beg others to see a doctor?" The emperor said: "You go, call the third child." ”
Su Mingbo immediately nodded, listened to the order and rushed down.
Su Mingbo did things safely, and after a while, he invited the third prince without alarming anyone.
The third prince came to spy with the emperor for half an hour, and then invited the imperial doctor to come in and spread the news that the emperor had woken up and his condition had improved.
Su Mingbo only told the emperor what he had seen and heard these days, and he didn't say much about the rest, and he resolutely obeyed the emperor's orders. I don't think much about asking too much. I only feel that the emperor's health has improved, and there is hope for people like him.
And the news that the emperor was getting better and better spread all over the government and the opposition in just an hour.
Everyone was happy and worried, but all of them looked happy.
When the second prince got the news, he was leading people to search for Qi Miao's traces throughout the process, and even planned in his mind that if he couldn't find it today, he and he would plan to go out of the capital tomorrow to find it. The rest doesn't matter, this action, one is Bai Xiyun's identity and industry, and the other is Qi Miao.
He used to be very estimating, but now he doesn't care about it so much.
Therefore, when he received the news that the emperor suddenly woke up and was very good, the second prince once thought that the messenger was trying to coax him.
Although the poison is slow and cannot be cured by ordinary people, the emperor is too worried and the body is heavy, and the fragile body cannot resist the poison catalyze. The emperor died, this is the best way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. Only when he ascends to that position can he be foolproof, and only when the person who can control his life and death completely disappears can he be safe.
Everything he planned was leaky, why did such a sudden change occur suddenly.
The second prince began to think back to the recent events of yesterday. Why did the emperor suddenly get better? Since it is getting better today, the time of treatment is also yesterday and today, and the day before yesterday, the imperial doctor also said that it is good to be happy to prepare longevity materials.
Unexpectedly, Chongxi's longevity materials have not been prepared, and the person is fine!
Then, the second prince thought of Concubine Wu yesterday to come and see.
Since Concubine Wan Guifei went, Concubine Wu has taken over the power of the assistant director of the Six Palaces, and she is still as low-key and introverted as before. And when the emperor's future was uncertain, Concubine Wu had always been cautious and cautious, unwilling to take a wrong step, and there was no quarrel with herself yesterday.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. A person who is cautious and self-preservation, how can Yunxi quarrel with others by himself, and the object of this quarrel is still the second prince who may be in charge of the life and death of Concubine Wu's mother and son in the future?
Although the second prince can't figure out what happened, it is also a fact that the emperor has improved today.
If the emperor trusts him and doesn't want to think so much, he will naturally not suspect him, as for Bai Zijin being impeached, the big deal is to spread out his hands and let people investigate.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted in the emperor's heart, then everything he does, even if he is unintentional, will be doubted. Won't the hat of the great rebellion and the intention of rebellion be buckled on his head when the time comes?
"Your Highness, ...... you" The entourage next to him saw the second prince standing next to the carriage, refusing to get on the carriage for a long time, and refusing to speak, everyone had waited long enough, so someone reminded him.
The second prince came back to his senses by this call, and then said: "My father is getting better, and this king is so happy, so he was a little stunned." Let's go back to the palace quickly, and this king also wants to see his father. ”
"Yes. The subordinates agreed in unison, no matter what they thought in their hearts, but they did not dare to show anything on their faces.
The second prince hurried back to the palace, and went all the way to the door of the Yangxin Palace, but saw Concubine Wu and the palace concubines, as well as the third prince and the fourth prince, who had already been waiting outside for a long time.
The great eunuch Su Mingbo saw that the second prince had returned, so he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, you can come back, the emperor has just woken up, he is no longer feverish, and his body is much better." When I opened my eyes, I was looking for you, and the slave replied that you had something important to do outside, so I called the three highnesses to come. ”
When the second prince heard this, he was relieved a lot.
As long as the emperor is willing to find him and trust her, it won't work this time, and there will be many opportunities in the future. The effect of the chronic poison is fierce, and if it is not checked in the diet, it will correspond to the emperor's sick and weak body, and it will definitely play the greatest role.
That would only have to wait a month for him to sit in that position.
The more the second prince thought about it, the farther and farther he went, but there was no difference on his face, and he said with a smile: "As long as the father can get better, he can be a son, and whoever the father says is whoever he calls." ”
Su Mingbo smiled: "Lord Wang, you are too funny, how can your identity be comparable to the rest of the people? Come in, the emperor has been talking twice." ”
"Good. ”
King De followed Su Mingbo into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When he entered the door, he stepped over the threshold and looked back, only to see the three princes, Concubine Wu and others standing outside with their hands down. The rules can no longer be regular.
A sense of superiority arises. He was different in the end, with a different position in the emperor's letter. It is not in vain that he has been operating and forbearance for so many years.
"Father. When he arrived at the bedside, the second prince called softly with a surprised expression on his face.
