Prince Gong's broken leg was replaced with the best intermittent ointment, and Xiao Yuan was treating it himself. Even the bruises on his body were personally applied by Zheng Taiyi to remove blood stasis, and Manbao was not needed at all.
In the past few days, his food and clothing expenses have also been excellent. The fifty catties that he had lost with great difficulty had increased by another four or five catties in just four or five days.
It may be because it swelled too much at once, and it all grew on the stomach and face.
Even Princess Gong who didn't care much about this kind of thing couldn't help but tactfully warned her, she didn't want Prince Gong to eat more meat.
But Prince Gong was not happy, he had been on a diet for so long, and finally stopped restricting his diet, how could he bear it
As a result, when he was slowly tasting a bowl of meat soup today, Gu Zhong mentioned the imperial decree to declare.
His leg was broken, and it was impossible to kneel, but even sitting on the bed and listening to it, Prince Gong was so shocked that he almost fell off the bed. His first reaction was: "I don't believe it! Is this the emperor's will?"
Gu Zhong gave him a sympathetic look, and answered "Yes".
The emperor was in a bad mood when he came out of the Queen's Palace yesterday. He drank secretly at night and stayed up almost all night, but he didn't lose his temper when he went to court in the morning...
Gu Zhong didn't know what the empress said, but he knew that it had a lot to do with today's decree. He handed the imperial decree to the bewildered Prince Gong, and comforted him as usual, "Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty is still very concerned." It hurts you."
Prince Gong opened the imperial decree with shaking hands, and sure enough, there was his father's jade seal on it.
But, how is it possible
He was beaten and his leg was broken, and it turned out to be his fault. Not only was he deprived of a county fief, but he was also demoted to the county king
Prince Gong looked at the above reason with red eyes, the reason was that he was disrespectful to the prince, uttered evil words to the prince, disrespected him, and had malicious intentions in his heart...
"It's not true, why did Royal Father suddenly..."
Why did you suddenly treat him like this
Prince Gong grabbed Gu Zhong and asked, "What happened in the front hall?"
Gu Zhong respectfully took his hand away, bowed down and said respectfully: "Your Highness, nothing happened in the front hall. Your Majesty is still discussing things with you adults. The slaves will go back to serve first."
After saying that, he bent down and stepped back.
Xiao Yuanzheng, who came to see Prince Gong, also took the opportunity to slip away first, and sure enough, he heard the sound of things in the house not far away.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but glanced at Gu Zhong, and Gu Zhong happened to turn his head to look at him, the two looked at each other, Gu Zhong smiled and said: "Xiao Yuan is going back to the Imperial Medical Office?"
Just as Xiao Yuan answered yes, Gu Zhong reminded in a low voice: "Physician Zhou should be preparing an apology."
Xiao Yuanzheng knew that Zhou Man still hadn't escaped, so he went back and told Zhou Man.
The past few days have been calm, and Man Bao even went to play with Ming Da and the others. Seeing that the emperor stopped bothering them after that kneeling, he thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, things would take a turn for the worse, and in the end she still failed to escape the fate of being punished.
After Man Bao knew it, he raised his head and said to Bai Shan: "Sure enough, if you make a mistake, you should be punished obediently, and there should be no means of evasion."
Bai Shan glanced at her and said, "Today's punishment is much lighter than what we expected at the beginning." So why is it useless
Up to now, the matter has passed for several days, not to mention that the emperor has no time to talk to these insignificant little courtiers, even if he has time to talk, after these four or five days of relaxation, his anger has also subsided a lot.
The punishment given at this time is naturally different from the punishment given by Thunder Fury at that time.
Even the ministers in the court who acted according to the rules didn't care about Zhou Man's possible mistakes in this matter. They just reprimanded her intentionally after she made an apology and gave her officials in the official department It's over after making a note on the assessment.
There was neither demotion nor penalty.
Man Bao quietly handed in the paperwork, and then got a warning document from the official department, and the matter passed without a sound, and the rest has nothing to do with her.
The ministers didn't have time to stare at her. Everyone thought the emperor was very strange, so they all stared at him quietly.
You know, when Prince Gong was arrested and returned to the capital last year, he was suspected of being involved in the murder of the prince, and some evidence was found. For this, the emperor just reprimanded him, grounded him and took him a county fief, and he was not willing to surrender. Lord.
As a result, he was demoted this time
They thought the emperor was very strange, which made them a little frightened.
After inquiring again, recently the emperor lived in the study in front of the Tai Chi Hall and did not return to the main hall.
As a result, the ministers were as quiet as chickens, and recently they even spoke in a much softer voice in the court, just because they didn't want to make the emperor angry.
Man Bao knew from Ming Da that the emperor and the empress seemed to have had a quarrel, and he didn't know what the quarrel was about. Anyway, Prince Gong was severely punished. He was ordered to reprimand him.
But this time the prince didn't have any resentment in his heart, he received the order calmly, and then watched the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry go to Luozhou to remove or bring back the illegal things in Prince Gong's mansion, and the Ministry of Households went to take back Prince Gong The county that was taken back, so far, Prince Gong only has the fiefdom of Guo County in Luozhou.
The prince also remained calm for two days, seeing that his father was still living in the study and did not return to the main hall, he frowned and said to the princess annoyedly: "What exactly does he want to do? If he is unhappy, he can not be punished, so what's the point of ignoring the queen mother?" What's going on?"
The concubine could only comfort her: "It's good to let the emperor calm down, the queen mother is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"
The prince was so angry that he let out a breath from his nose, got up and said, "I'll go see the queen mother."
Mingda was about to calm down a lot, as if it wasn't her parents who were fighting coldly now, she said to Man Bao: "The queen mother said that our ideas are good, but we used the wrong force."
A question mark on Man Bao's head.
Mingda said: "We thought it was wrong to say that the prince's brother cared about him in front of the third brother, at least not right. The queen mother said that the most important knot between the prince's brother and the third brother is not the third brother's relationship with the prince's brother. The heart knot, but the heart knot between the prince's brother and the third brother. This matter, unless the third brother does it himself, otherwise it will not get better. No matter how good it is, it is just a superficial light. It’s nice to pretend in front of you.”
Man Bao: "...Why didn't your empress tell His Majesty that day?"
Mingda laughed and said, "Why else, it's naturally because of us."
She said: "The queen mother doesn't want to ruin our good intentions. Moreover, you are indeed innocent. I didn't invite you to Baiyun Temple at that time, or I didn't let you go to see the third brother's wound."
Man Bao was very embarrassed, so he whispered: "I was also at fault. I had good medicine at the time, but I specially used the medicinal wine from Baiyun Temple for Prince Gong."
This is also the reason why she and Bai Shan have been apprehensive and afraid. This kind of thing can be found out as soon as it is found out.
Mingda knew it naturally, she lowered her voice and said: "I know, and the queen mother also knows, it must be that the third brother said something very unpleasant, and you are like this, and the two servants have been recruited."
She paused and said: "I sent the two of them to the third sister. The third sister is upright. No matter how angry the third brother is, he doesn't dare to ask for someone with the third sister."
