On the night after returning from King Qi, King Duan developed a high fever.
When King Qi heard the news and rushed there, he happened to see Dr. Wang walking out with a medicine box. When he saw King Qi, Dr. Wang quickly saluted him and said, "I have met the prince."
"Okay, okay, Imperial Physician Wang, please stop being so polite! Imperial Physician Wang, did you %... just come out of my fourth brother's room?" King Qi asked Imperial Physician Wang tentatively.
"yes."
"Then I would like to ask you, how is my fourth brother's condition?" King Qi asked Doctor Wang with a straight face.
Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly bowed to King Qi, and then he raised his head respectfully and said to the king, "In reply to the prince, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has a high fever caused by wind and cold. The minister has ordered someone to boil the medicine. His Highness Duan Wang only needs to
Just take the medicine and I believe the high fever will subside soon."
"Then how long will it take for him to recover from his illness?" King Qi asked Dr. Wang again slightly anxiously.
Doctor Wang frowned slightly.
The Hunting Palace is only so small. Yesterday, several ministers and the crown prince of Dingguo went to invite King Qi to Jingzhou to take charge. It had already been spread in the Hunting Palace. Even he had heard about it, but now King Qi is so concerned about King Duan.
Anyone with a little bit of care can roughly guess what's going on.
But as I guessed, Doctor Wang didn't dare to show it at all. He bowed his hands to King Qi again respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness Duan Wang is seriously ill. Even if the high fever subsides, he will not be able to show it."
I have to rest for a while."
Sure enough, upon hearing what Imperial Physician Wang said, King Qi's face immediately darkened.
What a Xiao Zhuo!
Yesterday, he promised well in front of him and his mother and concubine, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye he would 'suddenly' develop a high fever! He clearly didn't want to go to Jingzhou, so he did it on purpose!
Does he think he is a fool?
"Mr. Wang, I will ask you again, is Prince Duan really sick?" King Qi muttered, staring at Dr. Wang with a threatening look.
"In reply to the prince, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is indeed ill." Wang Taiyi quickly replied. Finally, he was afraid that King Qi would not believe it, so he quickly added, "If the prince does not believe it, you can also put the other two
The imperial doctor will send it to Prince Duan for diagnosis and treatment, or the prince can go inside and have a look in person."
After hearing what Dr. Wang said, the doubts in King Qi's heart finally dissipated.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty still needs to be watched over by your subordinates. If your Majesty is fine, I will leave first." Doctor Wang lowered his head and said to the king again.
Hearing Imperial Physician Wang mention Emperor Zhengxuan, Prince Qi's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he hurriedly said, "By the way, Imperial Physician Wang, is my father feeling better?"
"To answer the question, Your Majesty, your Majesty's spirit is much better than the previous two days." Dr. Wang replied with a smile.
King Qi nodded and saw that Doctor Wang kept looking at him. He was slightly startled, and then he immediately understood, "Okay, I have nothing to do with you. Doctor Wang, please go back first!"
"Then, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Imperial Physician Wang saluted to Prince Duan again, then bowed and left.
After seeing off Dr. Wang, the smile on King Duan's face immediately twisted. He raised his feet and was about to go into the room to argue with King Duan. But after taking a few steps, he felt something was wrong. Finally, he simply turned his head and looked directly at
I went to the Concubine Xian’s house.
This guy Xiao Zhuo went to Jingzhou to escape, and he didn't hesitate to mutilate his own body! Even if he goes in now, he can't change anything. Instead of going to him to settle the score, it's better to go to his mother and concubine quickly to find a solution!
If Xiao Zhuo can't go to Jingzhou, won't Shi Shangshu and the others come back to look for him again?
Thinking of this, King Qi felt panicked in his heart, and for a moment, he couldn't help but walk faster.
On the other side, after King Duan drank the medicine, his throat finally felt better, but his head was still dizzy and he couldn't even lift any strength.
"My lord, why are you so troubled? The water was so cold last night. Why are you so cruel?" Seeing Prince Duan's appearance, Concubine Liu, who was sitting next to her, was so distressed that she wiped away tears.
After hearing Concubine Liu's words, Prince Duan couldn't help but sneered.
Of course he knows how cold the water is in late autumn, and the night wind blows on his body like a knife, but if he doesn't make up his mind, he will be forced to go to Jingzhou tomorrow!
If you go there, let alone endure hardships, if you are not careful, you may even lose your life there!
Xiao Yuan could forget it, but his mother and concubine...
She is his biological concubine. He never expected that she would help Xiao Yuanlai to convince him to go to Jingzhou. Doesn’t she know how dangerous Jingzhou is now? They are obviously her sons, but her heart
But it turned to heaven.
Thinking of this, King Duan couldn't help but shuddered again.
Seeing this, Concubine Liu quickly stretched out her hand to tuck the quilt up for him. She said, "My lord, do you still feel cold? How about I add another quilt to you?"
"No need, just stay cold like this!" King Duan said coldly again, curling his lips.
If it gets better too quickly, wouldn't it just follow Xiao Yuan's wishes again?
He wanted to see if he would go to Jingzhou this time without him as a stepping stone, or not!
Now everyone is staring at him from top to bottom. If he can't shirk it, let alone his father, he will be disappointed. These officials in the hunting palace will also be extremely disappointed with him, the King of Qi. And the prince is now
It is also on the verge of collapse. When the time comes, it will be his turn to take the lead!
Thinking of this, Prince Duan's narrow eyes became even colder.
Mother! Just watch, one day I will let you know that your choice is wrong! The only son you can rely on and can give you glory is me!
just me!
"Your Majesty, my servant just said that King Qi has come, but he didn't come in. He said a few words to Dr. Wang at the door and then left in a hurry." Seeing that King Duan didn't look depressed, Concubine Liu hesitated for a while.
, and then whispered to him tentatively.
"Really?" Upon hearing Concubine Liu's words, King Duan's lips curled up slightly, and finally there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Concubine Liu.
It seems that he is not too stupid!
However, it is useless even if he goes to find his mother and concubine now. At present, the matter seems to be a foregone conclusion, unless he can find someone who can go to Jingzhou on his behalf!
However, who in this world would be so stupid as to take this trip to Jingzhou for him, even risking his life?
Just as King Duan was thinking this, on the other side, King Qi had already arrived at Concubine Xian's palace.
Concubine Xian just got up now.
There has been a lot of turmoil in the Hunting Palace recently, and she hasn't had a full night's sleep for a long time. In addition, after King Duan left last night, she felt extremely uncomfortable. After all, she was her direct relative's flesh and blood, and she just watched him take risks like this.
How could this mother feel so good? She couldn't sleep well all night due to this discomfort, so she got up a little late this morning.
Seeing King Qi burst into the house with an angry look on his face, Concubine Xian couldn't help but frowned in displeasure and said, "Xiao San, what are you doing? Who has offended you again?"
"Who else can mess with me besides Xiao Yuan!"
"Xiaosi?" Concubine Xian frowned and looked at King Qi with some displeasure and said, "Xiaosi, why did he offend you?"
Whether it was for her, the concubine, or for King Qi, his brother, Xiaosi had tried his best. He agreed to go on Xiaosan'er's behalf for such a dangerous errand in Jingzhou...
When she thought of this, Concubine Xian felt even more uncomfortable.
"Concubine, I'm afraid you don't know! Xiao Yuan is sick!" King Qi gritted his teeth and said coldly to Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian was startled, then she stood up from the chair and said, "Xiaosi is sick? Is it serious? Has the imperial doctor visited her?"
King Qi smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said grimly, "No, he fell ill after returning from my room last night. Doctor Wang said he had a high fever caused by wind and cold. He was afraid that he would be in trouble for ten and a half days."
!Concubine, do you want to go and see him?"
Concubine Xian was startled for a moment, but soon she understood the meaning of King Qi's words, "Xiao San, is there any misunderstanding in this? Xiao Si is not such a person!"
"Mother Concubine! The others are lying there, and Dr. Wang has also confirmed the diagnosis! At this time, do you still want to speak for him?" Seeing that Concubine Xian was still protecting King Duan at this time, King Qi became angry.
"Mistress..."
"Mother, concubine, he deliberately delayed the attack yesterday! He wanted to paralyze you and me!" King Qi shouted at Concubine Xian again angrily.
If I had known earlier, wouldn't it be better if he just resorted to the bitter trick yesterday!
As soon as he fell ill, Xiao Yuan would have to go even if he didn't want to! He wouldn't be able to get the letter and seize the opportunity! He didn't know if it would be too late for him to resort to other tricks.
Thinking of this, King Qi felt so regretful that his intestines turned green!
He unexpectedly thought that Xiao Yuan, who was usually submissive to him, would suddenly stab him in the back!
Fortunately, he still regarded him as his closest and most trusted younger brother, but in the end...
"Xiao San, don't worry, there will be a solution to this matter!" Seeing that King Qi's eyes were red with anger, Concubine Xian also realized the seriousness of the matter, so she quickly comforted King Qi.
"Then tell me, what else can you do?" King Qi bulging his eyes hurriedly asked Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian pursed her lips and fell silent.
Those who go to Jingzhou to take charge must have a distinguished status. Now, in this hunting palace, apart from her two royal sons, only King Cheng is left...
"Perhaps, we can find Prince Cheng?" Concubine Xian said with eyes narrowed.
Upon hearing Concubine Xian's words, King Qi couldn't help but sneer. He looked at his concubine mockingly and said, "Concubine, don't be ridiculous. That guy Xiao Ruo is just a fool. It's such a big thing in Jingzhou.
Do you think the ministers will let him go with confidence?"
"What does it matter? He is just following and taking charge. As long as it works properly, nothing is impossible!" Concubine Xian sneered with the corners of her lips raised.
Shi Bin and those old foxes didn't expect that the people they sent could actually save the people of Jingzhou from the fire and water, but it was just a formality!
"Concubine, you put it lightly. No matter how stupid Xiao You is, he knows the dangers of Jingzhou. How could he risk his death?" The Xian Fei of the Qi Dynasty rolled her eyes forcefully.
Xiao Ruo is just a mediocre person who just waits for death without any ambition. But precisely because he has no ambition, he will never do such a thankless job!
