Chapter 488: The old Zhang who steals and hides things
At the same time, in the palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor has many things to do today and rests alone.
Eunuch Xie helped the emperor change his clothes, and the emperor closed his eyes to rest. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard something fall to the ground.
"Um?"
The emperor was very alert and suddenly opened his eyes, "What is it?"
All I saw was an inconspicuous little wooden sign lying on the ground.
Eunuch Xie knelt down in a panic, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!"
The emperor chuckled: "You are also an old man next to me. I won't scold you just because you dropped something... Didn't you drop a few things for me? Hahaha..."
When eunuchs enter the palace, they must purify themselves.
The emperor seemed to find his joke amusing and laughed.
Eunuch Xie looked blank for a moment, then raised his face and started to smile, "Yes, Your Majesty is right! I am willing to do everything for Your Majesty..."
"Thank you, Eunuch. In this palace, you are the one I trust the most..."
The emperor watched Eunuch Xie pick up the wooden sign, "So what is this? Why do you carry it with you?"
Eunuch Xie also looked puzzled, "I don't know, I don't know. Today, I met the Queen on the palace road. The Queen was riding in a sedan chair. I left this sign behind. I picked it up and originally wanted to return it.
There are so many things going on here and there that I have forgotten... Your Majesty, please forgive me."
He couldn't get up from his knees again, looking truly annoyed.
The emperor did not doubt that he was there, and narrowed his eyes, "Queen? Bring it to me and have a look."
Eunuch Xie lowered his eyebrows and handed over the wooden sign.
The emperor held it in his hand and played with it.
It's just a crudely made wooden sign, more like a carved jade pendant, with a few peach blossoms carved on it.
The emperor has seen many good things.
This wooden sign looks like it was carved by someone himself, and it is not a precious thing.
Why does the Queen wear such a wooden sign on her body?
The emperor was also very puzzled, "What did the queen do today?"
Eunuch Xie seemed to have thought about it for a moment and said: "The Queen is worshiping Buddha today and occasionally visiting the eldest prince, but nothing else..."
The emperor frowned: "Who did you meet?"
"People? There seems to be no...ah! That's right!" Mr. Xie said: "I remember, it seems that Mr. Shi had just left when I met the Queen!"
The emperor sat up straight now and squinted his eyes, "Mr. Shi? The Shi family?"
The queen's mother's family is the Shi family.
The emperor was most taboo about collusion between the harem and the former dynasty, and he was even more taboo about the prince's mother's family being restless.
The Shi family has long been in decline due to his deliberate interference. Why do the Shi family meet the queen?
Or is it at this juncture when he is about to enthrone the eldest prince as the crown prince?
The queen, or perhaps the eldest prince... what is on his mind?
The emperor was suspicious, and the more he thought about it, the more chills he felt down his spine.
Eunuch Xie thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be Shi Kangning, the one who is now teaching Princess Changle! I heard that when Princess Changning was looking for a private school teacher, the Empress also recommended this person! This Shi Kangning must be a great talent.
Yes, everyone is teaching inside and outside the palace. It is normal for the empress to want to say a few words when she meets her parents..."
Eunuch Xie seemed to be speaking for the queen both inside and outside his words, but in fact he secretly brought up the close relationship between the queen and Shi Kangning to the emperor.
The emperor was suspicious, and he knew it better than anyone else.
As long as the emperor begins to have doubts, he will definitely pay attention to and find out the origin of this wooden sign...
Eunuch Xie untied the tulle curtain for the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest."
The emperor's hand holding the wooden sign became tighter and tighter, "Go..."
Before he could even finish saying "come to find the queen", he heard the eunuch outside coming to report in a hurry.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good, it's not good! The eldest prince suddenly fainted! He has a high fever and is unconscious!"
"What!"
The emperor stood up in confusion, "How could this be so!?"
The little eunuch was startled by the emperor's appearance. He cried and said: "Slave... I don't know! Please go, Your Majesty!"
The emperor didn't care about anything else, this was his eldest son!
He wants to be the emperor's son!
We can't just die like this!
"Show me the eldest prince!"
In the courtyard of the eldest prince.
The queen, who had "heard" the news first and rushed over, was kneeling in pain, "Your Majesty! My Imperial Son! My mother-in-law has been looking forward to your recovery for a long time, but why are you sick again! My Imperial Son!..."
She cried so hard that her heart broke, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for all the parents in the world.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As soon as he sang, the bright yellow figure of the emperor appeared in the courtyard.
He walked with a breeze, "How is the eldest prince?!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You must make the decision for me!"
The queen cried so much that she threw herself at his feet.
The emperor subconsciously wanted to help her up, but when he thought that the wooden sign of unknown origin was still in his sleeve, he held back.
He said coldly: "What is the queen doing? What happened to Cheng'er?"
The queen cried and said: "I don't know...the emperor was fine at first, but who knew he would suddenly twitch all over and develop a high fever!"
The emperor's eyes flashed, "Imperial Physician! Where is the Imperial Physician!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is treating you inside..."
The emperor pulled her up impatiently, "I'll go in and have a look..."
The queen had no choice but to cry and follow in, but her hands under her sleeves made a movement.
In the room, the eldest prince's face was indeed flushed with fever and he was feeling very uncomfortable. The old doctor had a look of fear on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"If you can't cure me, I'll kill you!" The emperor was fed up with the words of these quack doctors from Zitai Hospital!
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he peed and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty!...This..."
The emperor was already angry, but when he saw him hesitating, he became even more furious and kicked him.
The imperial doctor screamed and fell to the ground.
The queen just cried; "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, first let's see what happened to our prince..."
Wei Cheng looked deeply tortured.
The emperor closed his eyes and asked coldly: "Old man! If you can't tell me anything, I will kill you!"
The imperial doctor was trembling with fear, "Your Majesty, I see that the eldest prince's pulse is confused, it seems... he seems to have been stung! And it's a panic attack, a sudden high fever! If the fever continues like this..."
There is no need for a medical doctor to say the following words.
The emperor also had other sons, who died of fever while still in their infancy.
Some choked to death.
His eldest prince was even more ill-fated. After finally recovering from his illness, he encountered this kind of problem again!
He suddenly thought that there was something wrong with Jiang Xi's treatment, right?
He had no other choice and said coldly: "Then what do you think is going on and what should be done!?"
The old doctor lay prone on the ground, "Your Majesty! From what I've seen, this is... this is the art of witchcraft!"
