But Zhu Youxiao also knew that this matter could not be hidden for long, so he immediately issued an order for the British Duke and Wu Dinghou to control the outer city.
Ma Xianglin's Royal Forest Army took over the inner city, and at the same time mobilized the Jinyi Guards, the Four Tengxiang Guards, and two thousand Imperial Forest Army troops to guard the palace.
After everything was arranged, Ma Xianglin returned to Zhu Youxiao.
And he, who had been holding back, finally returned to Qianqing Palace, his home.
When the two eunuchs Wang Chaofu and Wei Zhongxian learned that the emperor had been assassinated, they were extremely anxious.
At this time, seeing the emperor so weak again, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.
He knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao and cried loudly.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. I'm not dead, so why are you crying?"
"As long as Li Changwen is here, I will be fine."
At this time, although Zhu Youxiao was slightly tired and felt physically weak, he did not think that he was going to die and pass away.
Li Shizhen's grandson inherited the mantle of the medical saint, and Zhu Youxiao believed that he could cure himself.
After carefully examining the wound, Li Changwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it was timely. Although it was poisoned, the wound has not yet festered. The treatment should be timely at this moment. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the examination answer from the imperial court judge.
So they carried Zhu Youxiao to lie down on the dragon bed, and asked the palace maid to take off his shirt to facilitate treatment.
Although it was cold winter now, the earth dragon in Qianqing Palace provided Zhu Youxiao with enough temperature, so Zhu Youxiao did not feel the cold even if he had no clothes.
Li Changwen also took the poisonous arrow from the guard and began to study and analyze it.
At the same time, he also asked his two apprentices to start brewing some general antidotes and give them to the emperor first.
"Those assassins cannot be allowed to see anyone. Xu Xianchun, go and interrogate them yourself and find out everything they know. Don't let me down."
"I obey the decree."
Xu Xianchun naturally knew that this matter was urgent and left immediately.
"Yang Huan, without my order, no one is allowed to approach Qianqing Palace. Even the queen and concubine must be blocked by me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely keep your Majesty's orders in mind."
Listening to Yang Huan's sonorous and powerful answer, Zhu Youxiao also felt pleased, and then said:
"Wang Chaofu, when you go to King Xuanrui's palace, you must be secretive and not let anyone know."
"Call Cao Bianjiao."

The sudden closure of the nine gates outside the capital was a bit strange to the people, but they didn't think much about it.
But the officials who learned about this were different.
They were all confused as to why the army had entered the city again and closed the nine gates.
Especially the blockade in the inner city made them feel that this was something unusual.
In order to clear up their doubts, many officials began to visit relatives and friends, hoping to get as much information as possible.
The officials of the Sixth Department and Sixth Section working in the imperial city were naturally aware of what happened suddenly outside.
Just when they wanted to go to Wenyuan Pavilion and inquire about the cabinet, they found many guards wearing armor and holding swords coming outside their office.
"Your Majesty has ordered that all court officials and officials must not leave their places today. Anyone who dares to move without permission will be shot without mercy."
The leading general's sentence of "kill without mercy" made the officials present breathless.
They never took this statement as a threat or intimidation.
Because they really did it.
Even if the words of inquiry came to their lips, none of them dared to speak. They could only stare with big eyes and small eyes, and finally returned helplessly.
At this time, the officials present had the same idea in their minds. I'm afraid something big is about to happen in the capital, or that the tyrant will go on a killing spree again.
…………
King Rui, named Zhu Changhao, was Zhu Youxiao's grandfather and the fifth son of Emperor Wanli. He was one generation older than Zhu Youxiao and was his uncle.
He is much older than Zhu Youxue. He was born in the 19th year of Wanli.
In the 29th year of Wanli, he was canonized at the same time as the Prince, Prince Fu, Prince Hui and Prince Gui.
He is thirty years old this year.
Although he was granted the title of king early, he never left the capital to become a vassal.
He even married after the age of twenty-five, which can be said to be a typical late marriage.
Moreover, this late marriage was only possible due to his unremitting efforts, otherwise he would still be a single man now.
Compared to his brothers such as King Fu and King Gui, he can be said to be more miserable. Compared with his cheap father, he is not popular.
Although he has been living in the capital, his presence can be said to be non-existent.
This is true whether it is in this time and space or another time and space.
Historically, he waited until the seventh year of Apocalypse, when Emperor Apocalypse was about to die, before he was able to vassal Hanzhong.
But no matter what, he is the son of Emperor Shenzong.
Now that his life is in danger, he may have left Hexi. Naturally, this sect, which is so close to him in blood, must be controlled.
To prevent him from being taken advantage of or getting ambitious and causing trouble.
Zhu Youjian has been sent to Guangzhou thousands of miles away by him. Even if he dies, his competitiveness will not be that great.
Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao had not seen this King Rui a few times.
The only thing that impressed him more was his coronation ceremony.
The same was true for Zhu Changhao. He submitted several memorials to Zhu Youxiao asking for permission to leave the capital and join the feudal clan, but nothing happened and there was no news at all.
Therefore, Zhu Changhao was also very unfamiliar with his nephew, the emperor, and had only seen him a few times in total.
This time, the chief eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies personally came to take him into the palace. Could it be that he himself had settled the affairs of the feudal clan?
Just when he was secretly rejoicing, people had already arrived at Qianqing Palace.
The moment he entered the palace, he smelled a medicinal smell, which was very pungent.
If this was not the Qianqing Palace, he might have covered his nose on the spot.
Could the emperor be the same as Emperor Sejong?
Isn't it possible to refine elixirs in the palace?
I only heard that he likes carpentry, but not that he is good at elixirs?
Just when he was doubting, Wang Chaofu had already led him to the inner palace, and towards the direction blocked by the screen, he knelt down and shouted:
"Long live my lord, Your Highness Prince Rui is here."
Zhu Changhao's reaction was not slow either. He bowed in the same direction as Wang Chaofu and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Chang Hao."
Zhu Youxiao did not respond in time. At this time, he was already exhausted and extremely weak.
After a while, a slightly childish voice sounded.
"Ping Shen, give King Rui a seat."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
Although he was one generation older than the emperor, Zhu Changhao did not dare to neglect the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and was respectful and respectful.
But at this moment, he had another doubt. There was something wrong with this voice.
The emperor is already eighteen years old, why does his voice still sound like a child's?
