Concubine Li was demoted to concubine Li and grounded, but the eldest prince and Princess Fuying were not punished. After all, they were two children, and both of them had to go to Taiyuan University to study.
But there is no harm in this world that does not harm children. If adults are targeted, how can children be safe?
Although Zhao Zhuo is only eight years old this year, he has already left the Concubine Li Palace independently at the age of six and has a separate bedroom to live in.
This is not the first time Ye Wanwan has come to the place where the princes live. Zhao Yi also lived here when he was the prince, but he lived in the Zhengdong Palace, the prince's dormitory.
The place where Zhao Zhuo lives is behind the East Palace. The palace is not big, only about half of the East Palace. The standard is not bad. After all, he is the eldest prince.
Arriving at the door, Ye Wanwan smelled a pungent smell before she even walked in, as if something was burning.
I held my nose and went in, and immediately saw the smoking charcoal basin.
The eunuch who was burning charcoal was also badly smoked. He was coughing while burning. When he saw Ye Wanwan arriving, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Kowtow to the noble concubine."
Ye Wanwan waved her hand: "Hurry and carry this out."
My eyes were so smoked that I couldn't even open them.
The eunuch quickly carried the charcoal basin out, and Ye Wanwan asked someone to open the window, letting in a cold breeze, which made her feel better.
"What's going on? Why is this charcoal so smokey?"
A young eunuch of fifteen or sixteen years old came out when he heard the commotion and saw that it was Zhao Zhuo who had been close to him. He quickly knelt down in front of Ye Wanwan.
"In reply to your Majesty, this charcoal was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It will smoke when you light it and it will make people choke. However, it is so cold in this room and His Highness is sick. It will not work if you light it."
"His Highness has fainted and is unconscious now. Please save His Highness, please."
Ye Wanwan: "Why is he so ill? Has the imperial doctor come to see him?"
"I would like to inform you that four days ago, the young masters from the Imperial College took His Highness's books and threw them away for fun. In order to get them back, Your Highness accidentally fell into the pond. After he came back, he contracted the wind and cold. So I went to ask for the imperial doctor, but many of the imperial doctors refused.
We wish to come, and finally we hired Dr. Li, who treated the patient and prescribed a prescription. However, after taking the medicine for two days, we didn’t feel better, and the fever persisted. We went to see the doctor again, but they only gave us the same prescription as before.
, I even went to ask the imperial... imperial doctor, but they didn’t want to come and see me. Now His Highness is unconscious, please help me, the imperial concubine.”
What he wanted to say just now was to ask the Queen Mother.
How cruel can the Queen Mother be?
Ye Wanwan stepped in, but Aunt Lin stopped her: "Madam, you are weak, don't get over your illness."
Why is it so serious that even a child can’t stand it?
Ye Wanwan walked in and found Zhao Zhuo lying on the bed. The quilt was raised and there was only so much room in the bed. Only then did Ye Wanwan realize that he was actually very small.
He usually has a stern face and looks young and mature, like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but in fact he is only eight years old.
The quilt was tightly covering him, and he was motionless. His face was red, and when he stretched out his hand, it felt like a soldering iron, but there was not a drop of sweat.
If you keep burning like this, you will be a fool.
The little eunuch knelt down again, crying and begging: "Please, my dear concubine, please save your highness!"
After saying that, he kept kowtowing.
Ye Wanwan stood up and thought for a while: "Pick him up and follow me."
The little eunuch knew that only Ye Wanwan could save Zhao Zhuo now, and without doubting his presence, he immediately wrapped himself in a quilt and carried Zhao Zhuo on his back.
"Empress, where are you going?"
Ye Wanwan strode forward: "I am not so kind as to take care of other people's children. Of course, I will take care of whose child it is."
When Ye Wanwan arrived, she rode on Bu Chu and asked the eunuch to put Zhao Zhuo on it. Then she sat on Bu Chu and went directly to the royal study.
Arriving at the door of the royal study, Ye Wanwan went down to the ground and asked the young eunuch to carry Zhao Zhuo out: "Follow me!"
"My dear, stop!"
Lei Hong stood in front of Ye Wanwan with his sword, preventing her from entering the royal study.
Ye Wanwan turned sideways and asked him to look behind him: "Commander Lei, the eldest prince is critically ill. Please inform the emperor immediately."
Lei Hong also saw it: "I will send the message immediately."
He turned around and went in to announce that two other guards were guarding the door.
Ye Wanwan stood at the door waiting, but after waiting for a while, no one came out.
"Your Majesty." Two guards stopped Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan: "Who is in there?"
The two guards did not speak, they were only responsible for guarding.
Ye Wanwan really made them laugh. The eldest prince was about to die of illness, so why was his life at stake? "Here comes someone!"
Yan Chen understood and immediately went up, without taking the initiative to attack. He just opened their hands, blocked them, and kicked open the door of the royal study.
"The royal concubine!"
Ye Wanwan led her people in and found that there were quite a few people inside. A dozen ministers in official uniforms were sitting in a serious atmosphere, as if they were discussing something important. Ye Wanwan's arrival was obviously disturbing.
them.
Zhao Yi frowned and asked: "Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"
Ye Wanwan was stared at by everyone, and she brushed her sleeves: "It is indeed my fault for interrupting the Emperor's discussion with your lords, but if the Emperor continues to ignore your son, he will die!"
The little eunuch carried Zhao Zhuo in, his face red and unconscious, everyone could tell something was wrong.
Several ministers' expressions changed: "What's going on?"
Ye Wanwan looked at the young eunuch: "Why don't you tell the emperor and your lords what happened?"
The little eunuch had never seen this scene before and was very frightened. However, with Ye Wanwan's support, he finally managed to tell the story.
After hearing this, Zhao Yi still didn't understand anything: "Yuan De, the imperial physician, if the eldest prince has any shortcomings, I will chop off their heads."
At this time, he will show off his power.
Zhao Zhuo was taken down. The imperial doctor should be here soon, and no one will be slacking off.
Ye Wanwan glanced at several ministers. Her biological father Ye Zhaoru was here, and sitting opposite him were two members of the Leng family, Leng Guogong and Leng Shangshu. Ye Wanwan did not recognize the rest.
"Human life is at stake. I was in a hurry and lost my rules. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I hope you will show your understanding."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out. He suddenly thought of something and turned around slightly: "I don't read many books, but I have a question to ask you, adults. Those who embarrass an eight-year-old child and even want to harm his life?
What is the difference between them and animals?"
After asking, he left, leaving a room full of people in a strange atmosphere.
Everyone knew who was targeting the eldest prince. Concubine Ye almost pointed at her nose and asked, "You don't even let go of an eight-year-old child. You are simply a beast."
It was difficult to tell the expressions of the father and son of the Leng family. Anyway, they always had straight faces and rarely showed any expressions. However, it was very difficult for Ye Zhaoru to hold back his laughter.
Ye Wanwan actually scolded the Leng family as beasts in front of their faces, which was really... very satisfying.
