Ye Jiayao looked at his depressed look and couldn't help but snicker. In such a boring day, teasing him was the only fun left.
However, Ye Jiayao also has a certain temper in teasing people, otherwise it would not be good to make people feel chilled.
So she stopped doing the embroidery work and lay in his arms, letting him rub her shoulders and pat her back for a while, but someone actually enjoyed it.
After lunch, Chunyu accompanied Ye Jiayao to take a nap. He was in a daze when he heard Song Qi say, "Hurry up and call the prince, something big happened in the palace."
Xia Chunyu's eyes opened immediately, and his dark eyes were filled with awe, and he was not sleepy at all.
Qiao Xi also panicked and hurriedly came in to call for help.
Xia Chunyu had heard it, made a shushing gesture, carefully pulled his arm out from under Ye Jiayao's neck, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
He whispered: "If the second young lady wakes up, just tell me that I have something to go out for. Don't say anything to her."
Xia Chunyu went out to see Song Qi with an anxious look on his face, but he resisted asking until he left the courtyard and asked him, "What happened in the palace?"
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival and the dragon boat race. Didn’t the emperor go to see the dragon boat race
Song Qidao: "The message came from Prince Xiaojing, saying that the emperor suddenly fainted when he got up after watching the dragon boat race. Now the emperor has been carried back to the palace, and the imperial doctors are treating him. They don't know the seriousness of the emperor's illness yet." Nothing serious."
Xia Chunyu's face became serious. The emperor's expression was not very good these days. He had heard some rumors when he was serving in front of the emperor, saying that the emperor had kidney failure, but it was not to the point of fainting!
The emperor's illness was like dark clouds covering the sun. Xia Chunyu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly rode a big black horse into the palace.
Ye Jiayao slept soundly, and she didn't get up until Naya came to the door.
Seeing that Chunyu was not there, she asked Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi said that the prince had to go out for something, but she didn't care. She dressed neatly and Naya came in.
"Jinxuan, let me tell you something big. It really scared me today." Naya said nervously.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said teasingly: "What a big deal, to scare a female general like you like this."
Naya said seriously: "Don't laugh, it's such a big deal, everyone is on their feet right now."
Ye Jiayao then became serious: "Hurry up and tell me."
"You didn't go to see the dragon boat race today. I went, and the queen specially reserved a seat for me on the third floor. As soon as the dragon boat race was over, the emperor was about to drive back to the palace, but as soon as he stood up, he fell straight down. As soon as it went down, everyone suddenly became a mess." Naya said.
Ye Jiayao's heart sank. Did the emperor faint? What disease is it
It seems that Chunyu went out just for this matter.
"Now the eldest princess and Xiao Jing have entered the palace. Oh, and Mr. Hou, I will come directly to you. Jinxuan, do you think the emperor's illness will be serious?"
Ye Jiayao shook her head blankly. She hadn't been in the palace for a long time. She hadn't seen the emperor, and hadn't heard Chunyu say anything about the emperor's discomfort.
But one thing is for sure, if the emperor falls ill at this time, if his illness is serious, chaos will probably arise.
He Lianxuan hasn't come back yet. Alas... I can only hope that the emperor is fine!
After hearing such news, Ye Jiayao didn't even bother to embroider, and waited uneasily for Chunyu to come back.
They waited until dark, approaching Haishi, before the father and son came back together.
Xia Chunyu took a deep breath before entering the door, put on a smile, and then entered the house.
He asked in a relaxed tone: "Yao Yao, have you had dinner? What did you eat?"
Ye Jiayao hurriedly greeted him: "How is the emperor?"
Xia Chunyu was stunned and looked at Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi curled her lips innocently: "Princess Naya is here."
Xia Chunyu sighed helplessly. He wanted to hide it, but it turned out that this fast-talking Naya was really out of touch.
"Hurry up and tell me, how is the emperor?" Ye Jiayao has been thinking about this for a long time and can't even eat.
Xia Chunyu helped her sit down and said slightly: "The emperor is fine, he is awake now."
Ye Jiayao stared at him: "Chunyu, I know you are afraid that I will worry, but you also know that I am a person who loves to think wildly. If you don't tell me the truth, I will keep thinking wildly, and it will get worse. .”
The two have lived together for such a long time. Although Chun Yu has excellent acting skills, she can really see the flash of hesitation in his eyes, which means that the situation is serious and is definitely not what he said.
"I'm not a person who can't stand the pressure and can't hold my breath. Please tell me the truth quickly. I can bear the worst situation." Ye Jiayao said seriously.
Xia Chunyu sighed silently. He really couldn't resist Yaoyao. The last time he concealed it, she was already very unhappy. He had no choice but to wave his hand and ask Qiao Xi to step back. Then he said: "The emperor has suffered a stroke."
Ye Jiayao was stunned: "Why did you have a stroke after everything was fine?"
There should be precursors to stroke, right? The imperial doctor checked the emperor's pulse every day. Didn't the imperial doctor find anything wrong? Or are their medical skills poor
Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not a coincidence. In fact, there are traces to follow. Aren't there a few new beauties in the harem? I heard that the emperor is looking for the names of these beauties... "
Uh, this means... the emperor suffered a stroke due to excessive indulgence and lust
"Of course, the imperial doctor would not say that. In the palace, Xiao Jing and I met. The queen and Princess Yide now suspect that someone gave the emperor some elixir. Otherwise, at the emperor's age, if he wants to It is impossible to have a spring supper every night." Xia Chunyu said.
Ye Jiayao understood that the elixir Chunyu mentioned should be a strong and yang medicine.
"Which medicine the emperor takes is recorded in the imperial hospital, isn't it? The queen should have known about it a long time ago! Didn't the queen stop him?" Ye Jiayao asked doubtfully.
Xia Chunyu said with a solemn expression: "That's the problem. There is nothing wrong with the medicine prescribed by the Royal Hospital. As for whether the emperor took anything else, the queen doesn't know, and even Eunuch Wei doesn't know."
"This needs to be investigated. The person who gave the emperor this kind of medicine must have bad intentions."
"Now the queen has started investigating, we can only wait for news. The key is that the emperor is unconscious now. The imperial doctor said that the situation is serious."
Ye Jiayao's heart was heavy. She had only lived peacefully for a long time, but something happened again.
"Then are you going to Yangzhou tomorrow?" Ye Jiayao just asked casually. In this situation, Chun Su would definitely be unable to leave.
Xia Chunyu shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go, so I'll let Chunfeng make a trip! Your father will understand."
Even if you are not considerate, you have to be considerate. Can you, Ye Binghuai, be as good as the emperor who is seriously ill
That night, everyone couldn't sleep well. Stroke is a very dangerous disease! Maybe just go.
Everyone has just seen off the Queen Mother, and if the Emperor... then things would really change.
Fortunately, I didn't receive any news that night. No news is good news.
Chunyu left Yangzhou affairs to Chunfeng early in the morning and went to the palace himself.
The emperor was in a coma for a day and a night. He woke up in the evening, but he could not speak or move. The queen thoroughly investigated the matter of the elixir and arrested the relevant people who should be arrested and interrogated, but she had no clue at all. , in a rage, he sent several of the most favored beauties into the cold palace.
The emperor is still alive, but he cannot issue an edict. The prince cannot supervise the country in a legitimate way, so he has to ask a few prime ministers to take charge of the overall situation. The prince is not anxious at the moment. What if the emperor gets better? The emperor was already wary of the prince, and he might even blame him when the time comes.
All in all a mess.
At this time, in the study room of Prince Yu's mansion, Prince Yu and an elegant and handsome young man were having a secret conversation.
"They will never be able to detect the medicine. It is colorless and odorless. You Jiang Zuo League really has a lot of good things." King Yu was in a good mood and smiled slightly.
The young man chuckled and said, "When will we make the next plan?"
King Yu leaned back slightly and put one hand on the table, with a leisurely posture and a look of confidence that he would win: "Since the old man won't die for a while, let's wait a few more days and let the Queen do the hard work first. In the end, this elixir appears in their house, so there will be a good show."
"Yes, not many people know that Duke Jingguo is obsessed with alchemy. When the time comes, there is no need to do anything else. Everyone will naturally suspect the queen. If the emperor dies, or becomes a living dead in the future, who will The biggest benefit? Of course it is the prince. The prince is quite stable this time. He has avoided the courtiers who encouraged him to supervise the country. However, as long as the matter is exposed, if he refuses, it will be just a pretense in the eyes of everyone." The young man smiled. There is a hint of coldness in it.
King Yu said with a smile: "You can defeat your opponent without any bloodshed, but you can defeat your opponent beyond redemption. This is the highest strategy."
The two chatted happily.
These days, although Xia Chunyu pretends to be relaxed in front of Ye Jiayao, Ye Jiayao knows that he is not relaxed. On the contrary, Chunyu's mood is very heavy. At night, even if he does not move or sigh, Ye Jiayao can feel that he is opening his eyes. Keep your eyes open and think about things.
The medicine cannot be found, but this is the biggest doubt, which makes people very uneasy. The smell of conspiracy is so strong that it makes people breathless.
They also suspected King Yu, but couldn't find any clues.
Nowadays, the calls for the prince to supervise the country are getting louder and louder. The prince is tempted. Firstly, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Secondly, this is what the prince has dreamed of for many years. It was he, Xiaojing and others who persuaded him to do so. After some further persuasion, the prince gave up his idea.
But this can't last long, the emperor's condition has not improved, and if this continues, it will be unjustifiable for the prince not to supervise the country.
It's such a headache. It feels like a conspiracy, but I can't find the clue. This makes Xia Chunyu very depressed.
He Lianxuan's road back to Jinling seemed to be not smooth. The emperor only allowed him to take 300 guards back to Jinling. However, he encountered several assassinations and large-scale interceptions and sieges along the way. The 300 guards suffered heavy casualties. , Xia Chunyu sent a team of people to respond, but there is still no news.
He Lianxuan, you have to come back safely, otherwise, things will really change today.
Xia Chunyu sighed silently in the dark night.
