Now that things have developed to this point, he has no intention of continuing to hide the matter. After all, if he buys it again, it will not be of any benefit to him. For so many years, he and his senior brother have remained anonymous. To live a peaceful life? But unexpectedly, in the end, it was still not completed.
The masters and uncles of Gusu Liang and Gusu Ran were actually the imperial doctors in the palace. Most of the people in the imperial hospital were famous people, and the two of them were no exception. They were originally from a family of medical officers in Jinzhou City. , it happened that the old emperor was out of the palace and suffered from a sudden illness when he was in Jinzhou City. The two of them came to see the old emperor. It was by such a coincidence that the two of them entered the palace and became At that time, the imperial physician could serve the emperor personally.
But if the two of them could have predicted the final result, they would not have chosen to enter the palace with the old emperor.
"After we entered the palace, we worked as doctors in the palace for many years safely. We just didn't expect that it might be because we didn't do any good things in our previous lives, and God didn't plan for the two of us to enjoy it for too long. Living a leisurely life, not long after the old emperor’s fiftieth birthday, things still involved the two of us.”
Gusu Liang's master and uncle also started to be involved in this matter from that time.
Gusu Liang didn't understand, but he continued to listen.
"According to common sense, by that time, the old emperor would have already chosen the candidate to succeed him. However, the old emperor has not yet decided. Some people say that it may be because the most favored emperor at the time was The reason for the concubine was that although the imperial concubine's son was still young, he had already shown abilities and talents that were beyond ordinary people. At that time, many ministers in the court felt that the ninth prince, later the ninth prince Shen Qianshan, was very powerful. He may be a candidate for the crown prince."
Gusu Liang's uncle paused for a moment and continued, "At that time, the court was divided into two groups. One part supported the Ninth Prince Shen Qianshan, and the other supported the eldest son of the emperor, who was later the emperor."
In the past dynasties, there was no telling how many people would shed blood and sacrifice on the road to seizing the heir. But at that time, the old emperor often handed over some very important matters to the Ninth Prince. It was inevitable that the eldest prince would be a little dissatisfied. , but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. After all, he is his father. He can't do anything to him, so he never said anything. It's just that when Shen Qianshan does something, he will inevitably use some obstacles, so Shen Qianshan When Qianshan is doing things, it is inevitable that there will be some problems.
The eldest prince's original intention was just to make the old emperor slowly lose his appreciation and trust in Shen Qianshan, but Shen Qianshan was always able to avoid danger and complete the task very well. It really made the eldest prince not know what to do. good.
Fortunately, Shen Qianshan was quite smart. After being disturbed several times in a row, he realized this, so he made preparations early. He could barely escape the next few times. At that time, Shen Qianshan had a really great influence on his own mother and concubine, so he did not make any counterattack against such an eldest brother. Although he wanted to show himself well in front of his father, he really didn't have the throne. Whatever the interest, I am afraid it was for this reason that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, Shen Qianshan was also the only surviving prince.
After failing to succeed several times, the eldest prince gradually gave up. It was rare for the court to have such a peaceful moment, and even the struggles between the princes seemed to calm down temporarily.
But at this time, the old emperor suddenly contracted such a strange disease. He vomited blood every day and was in pain everywhere. The doctors in the palace were all helpless and no one could find out who had been infecting the emperor. Poison, why did the old emperor, who was in good health, suddenly become ill, seemingly overnight
Gusu Liang's master and uncle were the imperial doctors whom the emperor trusted at that time, so they were always taking care of him. However, they had been practicing medicine for many years, but they had never seen such a condition, and they suddenly lost their minds. idea, not sure what to do.
But just when they were helpless and could only watch the old emperor's body weakening day by day, the princess suddenly came to them with a very strange thing and said that the thing she was holding now would be able to save him. emperor.
"Princess, although this thing looks very expensive, we don't even know where the emperor's illness is, so we really don't dare to do it without permission."
The master is very cautious. Although the imperial concubine is the most beloved concubine around the emperor, who can know who has the intention to frame the emperor? The uncle was very interested in this thing and hurriedly collected it. Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of their nightmare.
That jade pendant was the blood jade that Shen Qianshan wore all the time. But at that time, the two senior brothers did not realize the importance of the entire jade pendant. Therefore, although the uncle took it away, But I have never tried to use this thing to cure the old emperor's illness.
The two of them are from Jinzhou, originally from the northern region, and it is impossible for them to have come into contact with the poisonous insects in Miao territory. Therefore, not only the two of them, but also the other imperial doctors in the palace have always dealt with poisonous insects. The insect thing was treated as an anecdote and never taken seriously.
So although they had been thinking of ways, they couldn't make any use of the old emperor's condition. It was at that time that all the disasters began.
"Senior brother, do you think this matter is related to the fight for the crown prince's position this time?" Senior uncle was still young and vigorous at that time, so he would naturally think of many related things, but Gusu Liang's master was different , Gusu Liang's master was already a very stable person at that time, so he was much calmer about his junior brother's thoughts.
"Things in the palace are not something you and I can decide. It's best not to interfere in matters that have nothing to do with us."
Even though many years have passed since this incident, Gusu Liang's uncle and master are still not able to escape so easily. After all, if they had studied this matter carefully at that time, perhaps none of these things would have happened. .
Although Gusu Liang's uncle felt unwilling to do so, he still gave up the idea of continuing to entangle with him and gave up angrily. Over the years, they have always felt that if they had done something at that time, maybe the emperor would be killed. The concubine will not die.
The emperor's health is getting worse and worse. The imperial concubine and the empress have always stayed by the emperor's side, and Gusu Liang's master and uncle have also been there because they are grateful for the old emperor's kindness. Trying every possible means to cure the old emperor's illness.
But things happened so suddenly. The old emperor passed away. Things developed so suddenly that there was no time to establish the position of crown prince. No one knew why. Jiu, who had always been favored by everyone, Prince Shen Qianshan suddenly gave up the fight for the throne, and the eldest prince became the emperor. During the national mourning period, everything went in order. As the imperial physician who treated the old emperor at that time, Gusu Liang's master and The two masters and uncles also had to appear in the mourning hall, but at that time, the piece of blood jade that Gusu Liang's master uncle had kept on his body suddenly seemed to have some reaction, and the old emperor obviously also He had already passed away, but the person lying in the coffin suddenly started to move.
Everyone present was a little panicked, but Gusu Liang's uncle really realized that what the imperial concubine said to him at that time was true. That jade pendant was indeed possible to cure the emperor. , but at that time, neither I nor my senior brother took this matter to heart.
"We actually didn't know why something like that happened at the time, but we discovered something unusual, so my senior brother and I went over to take a look."
"That's when you discovered the Gu worm?"
Gusu Liang was a little confused by this story. He didn't know what he should do now. There was no need for his uncle to lie to himself at this time. What he said was still very credible. In addition, over the years, they After spending time together day and night, Gu Suliang knew exactly what kind of person his uncle was.
"We imperial doctors were supposed to take turns guarding, but the emperor's body suddenly moved. All of us were divided into two parts and guarded the mourning hall. I sneaked close to the emperor while others were not paying attention. , that’s when I saw blood Gu for the first time.”
Most of the imperial doctors in these imperial hospitals have never seen this thing. However, after Gusu Liang's uncle noticed the strange movement on the emperor, he quickly realized that the imperial concubine had said to the two brothers. Those words, so he carefully checked around the emperor's body, and finally saw the blood Gu in an inconspicuous little place.
"At that time, I had already realized the horror of this thing. In order to avoid other accidents, I put this thing away in a small box. No one else knew about it except my senior brother."
Gusu Liang's uncle sighed helplessly. Who could have known that this matter would develop into this
