On this day, Concubine Xu proposed to recruit more imperial physicians and His Majesty for diagnosis and treatment. Empress Xiao did not make it difficult, but readily agreed.
Seeing that Queen Xiao was so refreshing, Concubine Xu Gui was a little surprised, but she was relieved soon. If the Queen refused to agree at this time, it would not be something that could be explained clearly.
"The Empress is wise, and she should have done this long ago. The well-being of Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the important affairs of the society, so you can't take it lightly." Concubine Xu Gui smiled charmingly.
Empress Xiao tugged at the corners of her mouth with a smirk, "Concubine Xu, you've been bothered."
Xu Guifei sat in the hall and did not leave, and soon King Jin also came.
Empress Xiao's eyes were full of sarcasm, she really didn't care about her decency, she was a dignified empress, how could she still speak
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from Empress Xiao, and Concubine Xu asked softly, "Empress Empress, why haven't you seen an imperial physician?"
Empress Xiao took a sip from the tea cup and said indifferently: "No hurry, this palace also invited two adults, the Prime Minister on the left and right."
The left prime minister Lin Jian has been an official for decades, and the Lin family behind him is a famous family that has been passed down since the beginning of the dynasty. On the other hand, Xu Sheng, the right prime minister, as the mainstay of the Qingliu faction, was an honest and upright official, and he hated evil as hatred, and was deeply loved by the courtiers. These two people have almost all represented the two factions in the DPRK and China, one representing a famous family, and the other representing a humble family.
It is self-evident why Empress Xiao invited them here.
Concubine Xu's face was a little uneasy, but she could only sit there and do nothing.
After another half an hour or so, Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Xu came back and forth, followed by several imperial physicians headed by the White Court envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital, as well as Imperial Physician Zhou.
After each salute, they entered the inner hall.
On the huge dragon bed in the inner hall, Emperor Xi was lying on it, breathing gently, if not for his pale complexion, people would think that he was just asleep and not in a coma.
Empress Xiao stood on the side of the dragon bed and said, "The Imperial Physician Zhou is the imperial physician appointed by His Majesty, and he has been examining the pulse of His Majesty. I thought that since His Majesty believed in the Imperial Physician Zhou so much, there must be a reason for him, so I never thought about it. We will recruit other imperial physicians for diagnosis and treatment. Who would have thought that the wicked villain would spread rumors to slander the palace and the prince, in order to show his innocence and not fall into the blame, he specially invited Baiyuan envoy and two imperial physicians, as well as the imperial physician Zhou. Let’s examine the pulse of His Majesty together, and invite the two Prime Ministers as witnesses.”
Prime Minister Lin bowed his hands, "My lady is thoughtful."
Xu Chengxiang said: "The niangniang is enlightened, so that you can walk and sit upright."
The words of the two were spoken together, and from this one could see who they were. As a member of an aristocratic family, Prime Minister Lin always spoke with a bit of a hint, but Prime Minister Xu seemed to be more clear-cut.
Empress Xiao nodded with a smile and motioned for several imperial physicians to come forward to diagnose the pulse.
After a few people finished the diagnosis, they went to the side to summarize, and the envoy of the white hospital stepped forward and said: "The diagnosis of Zhou imperial doctor is correct, and your majesty is indeed suffering from erysipelas. His Majesty listened to the advice of the imperial physicians and cut off the medicinal pills. Unfortunately, the erysipelas accumulated in the body too much, and it is not enough to get sick on weekdays. Once the onset, the disease will come down like a mountain. At this time, the coma is also related to the fact that the dragon body is too weak. After recuperating, you can still wake up, but it’s hard to say at this time, maybe three or two days, maybe three or two months.”
"Is there a serious problem with Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Xu asked.
Everyone could understand what the big problem he said was, that is, if they asked Emperor Xi if he would die.
But who would dare to tell people about this kind of thing, Bai Yuanshi could only smile bitterly: "Master Xu, it's not that the subordinate officials don't want to say it, but this matter is really uncertain, and it stands to reason that His Majesty's dragon body should not be there. One step, but now no one dares to say what the result will be."
Then Prime Minister Xu nodded, and it was not easy to be embarrassed any more, but his thick gray eyebrows were furrowed.
"Your Majesty's body has always been nursed back to by Imperial Physician Zhou. I wonder if it is possible to continue to hand it over to Imperial Physician Zhou?"
Why did everyone come today? Everyone knew in their hearts, just to see if Emperor Xi was seriously ill at this time because the crown prince and queen did something. Since so many imperial physicians have been diagnosed, it is not easy for others to say anything.
"The Imperial Physician Zhou has always been highly skilled in medicine, and few people in the Imperial Hospital can match it. Since the Imperial Physician Zhou has always been in charge of this matter, he will not leave the two hands, and the minister has no objection." Bai Yuanshi said.
The people present were all human beings, so they naturally understood the way the Taiyuan Hospital did things for people. If something like this is bad, it would be a disaster for people to raid their homes and destroy their homes. It's no wonder that Baiyuan's judgment was so positive.
It's just poor doctor Zhou...
The eyes of the two prime ministers moved to Zhou Jin, showing a bit of pity.
"Since this matter has been decided, the old minister will leave first."
Prime Minister Xu has always had a lot of things to do, so this matter is over, and naturally he doesn't want to continue wasting time here. Prime Minister Lin also said goodbye.
After the two prime ministers left, Concubine Xu and King Jin also left. Although the eyes were full of unbelief and reluctance, the two old prime ministers were here to testify, and they couldn't say anything more. Needless to say, the other imperial physicians all withdrew.
Empress Xiao glanced at Zheng Haiquan and said, "Eunuch Zheng, take care of you here, this palace will return to Fengqi Palace."
"Yes."
Entering the Fengqi Palace, the crown prince suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Empress mother, the son-in-law only knew that the white court envoy was ours."
Empress Xiao smiled disapprovingly, "Good things must be used in the key. Your mother has been operating in the harem for decades, so how can you not let people go in such an important place as the Imperial Hospital!"
"The other two?"
"Those two aren't, they just have a handle in your grandfather's hands."
Hearing this, the prince showed a relieved smile.
"Now, it's King Jin's turn to be anxious."
"If they are in a hurry, we will grasp the handle. If we can grasp the handle, there is no reason for him to stay in the capital. If he does not return to the fief, he will lose his skin."
"Empress mother, how long did you say you have to wait—" the prince couldn't help but asked.
Empress Xiao looked at the prince's secretly excited face and couldn't help frowning.
"This matter can't be rushed. Everyone is not a fool. If you do it too quickly, the King of Jin will take advantage of the chaos to denounce it, and the courtiers will also criticize it."
"My son knows." The crown prince also understands this truth, "Zheng Haiquan won't doubt it? After all, he follows his father every day, do you want it?"
The prince made a gesture.
When it comes to this Zheng Haiquan, even Empress Xiao has a headache. She thought for a while before she said, "No, Zheng Haiquan is too conspicuous. Your father, Huang, Zheng Haiquan had an accident just after he fell, and it will cause unnecessary suspicion. It is not appropriate to act rashly now. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Zhou has good skills and is worthy of medicine. He's also brilliant, and it shouldn't be a problem with his cooperation."
The two discussed a few more words before the prince left Fengqi Palace, while Empress Xiao changed her clothes and went to Zichen Palace again.
Now, in this situation, she should be more guarded. After all, the Queen and Her Majesty have always been in a 'marriage relationship'. Her Majesty is seriously ill, and the Queen will be able to show her more demeanor by guarding the sickbed regardless of the phoenix body.
While the queen and the prince were discussing, in the Chunluan Palace on the other side, Concubine Xu Gui and the King of Jin made another speech.
"How can it not be tricky in this? I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it!"
"Mother concubine doesn't believe it either." Concubine Xu Gui frowned deeply, and said, "But so many people have been diagnosed, and the queen has invited two prime ministers to testify. Once this is over, no one else can raise any objections. Blame this queen for being too cunning. Mingli was forced to be in a hurry by us, but secretly, there was a plan to hide it. This time, the incident happened suddenly. Shi and the other two imperial physicians are considered extremely old people in the imperial hospital."
Why didn't King Jin understand that Empress Xiao was tricked, but some things can be used one but not the other. Let’s use rumors again, let’s not say that the queen can punish everyone as a matter of course, and the court will not be able to toss it. As soon as this statement came out, it was two high-ranking prime ministers, so this dumb person can only be hard on the king of Jin and Xu Guifei. swallow.
"That old man Lin Jian is really useless, so he won't say a few words to this king."
Concubine Xu Gui smiled bitterly, "It's not easy for you and I to intervene in that situation, let alone Prime Minister Lin, the queen is so brilliant, she has all the fame and reason, who would dare to object, not to mention Prime Minister Xu is still on the sidelines. Standing, how can Prime Minister Lin speak?"
In fact, the King of Jin also knew that he was venting his anger, but this made his situation even more difficult.
"You have been careful recently, don't let the handle fall into their hands, let's do it slowly first."
"My son knows."
***
The people in the inner hall left, but Emperor Xi, who had been unconscious for a long time on the dragon bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Zheng Haiquan's neck shrank, and the man approached with hunched waist.
"His Majesty-"
The person on the dragon bed didn't move, he sneered a few times, and suddenly said, "I want to eat."
Zheng Haiquan said 'yes' and went out to make arrangements.
Not many people knew about what Emperor Xi had arranged for the plan, including Imperial Doctor Zhou and Zheng Hai, and the rest were known only by a few eunuchs in Zichen Hall and two confidants of Emperor Xi.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for acting. If nothing else, it is quite difficult to eat meals. Empress Xiao stayed here all day long, and then left at night. The other Emperor Xi could only starve. Zheng Haiquan sighed inwardly for countless times, why is it necessary, but what the master decides can't be explained by his servant.
Zheng Haiquan quickly brought up some meals, and it was naturally what he wanted to say to the outside world.
Compared with Emperor Xi's usual royal banquet, who called Zheng Haiquan just a slave, and he couldn't be too high-profile. But even so, Emperor Xi used it with relish, and it was more fragrant than his own meal in the past.
He didn't realize it himself, but Zheng Haiquan couldn't bear to look directly. I thought to myself, why is this Your Majesty? This man is old and going to die, is it all so weird
After Emperor Xi had eaten and drank enough, he asked Zheng Haiquan to serve and rinse his mouth, and then he invited the imperial doctor Zhou from the side hall.
"You did very well."
Zhou imperial doctor knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty praises."
"I heard that people have frequently asked you to inquire about my dragon body recently. Is it from King Jin?"
As for how to hear it, Emperor Xi naturally has his own channels, and this time the plan is to catch the secret people. Emperor Xi didn't believe what Zhou Taiyi said was slandered by the crown prince.
I don't know if he still insists on not believing it at this time.
"This—" Zhou Taiyi glanced at Emperor Xi with a worried look, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, this minister ignored it."
Emperor Xi's face turned purple at first, then turned white, snorted twice, and said sternly: "I admit that I have not treated them badly, and I haven't died yet, so I am thinking about my emperor—cough..." When it was over, he coughed.
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
Emperor Xi coughed for a while before calming down.
"This show is really wonderful. Why didn't I find out that this one is so good at acting... Zhou Jin, didn't the queen tell you when she killed me?"
Zhou Jin was surprised, "No."
"Ha, of course I won't tell you. You Zuo is just a servant who obeys orders. It is estimated that in a few days, they will not be able to bear it anymore, and now they are just afraid of being criticized... Even the white court sentenced They are all their people, what else is there that I don't know... and the King of Jin... "
Sitting on the dragon bed, Emperor Xi muttered to himself in a very low tone, but it was whispered into the ears of Imperial Physician Zhou and Zheng Haiquan who were present. These two can't wait to plug their ears and not listen to this. The more they know, the worse the fate of the two of them. It is estimated that His Majesty is finished this time, and it will be their turn soon...
Even though he has always been as calm as Zheng Haiquan, he couldn't help trembling at this time.
No one wanted to die, especially as Emperor Xi's thoughts became more and more bizarre, causing a great mental torment to the people below. This feeling of being on the verge of collapse was even worse than that of Zheng Haiquan, who was serving him personally.
Suddenly, a series of crisp bells rang out, awakening the three people in the hall.
Emperor Xi was served by Zheng Haiquan and lay down on the dragon bed and covered the silk quilt. As soon as everything was done, the queen led someone in.
"Congratulations to the maiden Sheng'an."
"Go. Imperial Physician Zhou is there too?"
"I have come to see your Majesty's condition."
Empress Xiao once explained that when she was away, Imperial Physician Zhou had better stay by Emperor Xi's side. When she heard this, Empress Xiao showed a meaningful smile.
"Doctor Zhou has worked hard."
"Don't dare."
After Imperial Physician Zhou went down, Empress Xiao pulled her gaze back to Zheng Hai's whole body.
"Eunuch Zheng is tired every day, and it's really hard. There is this palace guarding here, you can go down and rest for a while."
"Minions are not tired, thank you for being considerate."
Empress Xiao just smiled and said nothing.
The author has something to say: ps: ⊙﹏⊙ Khan, it seems like a curse, are you tired? And Emperor Xi, you are a pervert!
But people are old, especially when the most powerful person in the world is about to die, his thoughts will be different from ordinary people. At this time, don't talk about father-son relationship, and don't talk to him about reason, country, society, etc. Kangxi is a famous Mingjun. How many things can you say in his later years
But it will be over soon, finish it quickly, and change to the copy of the capital.
I swear face to face, I will not write about this next time, just leave the political affairs and other things to the hard work, let's just talk about love, fat man, remember, anyway, you have no ambitions. !
