Empress Wei's words made Monk Zhang Er puzzled, but since she said so, naturally some people would like to hear the details.
A group of people didn't move, just invited out irrelevant people and some unimportant people. All the kings and their concubines were there. Among the concubines, only Concubine Qian Xian, Concubine Kang and Liguiren Yingguiren were left. The imperial hospital was occupied by Xiao Yuanshi and two highly respected imperial physicians. After all, they were imperial physicians. They take care of them on weekdays.
"Emissary Xiao, it's up to you to speak, lest people mistakenly think that this Palace has done something."
Concubine Qian Xian smiled hypocritically, and said with an apologetic smile: "Empress, don't be angry, this concubine and His Highness Wang An are also concerned about His Majesty. Please don't misunderstand, who knows that our empress respects the whole world, and is the mother of women. There is nothing more tolerant and magnanimous than an example.”
Empress Wei's complexion was not good-looking, and she was even a little tired. She glanced at Concubine Qian Xian impatiently: "You don't need to praise me, I am tolerant or not, you are not the only concubine Qian Xian. Right."
Concubine Qian Xian's face suddenly became embarrassed, but for some reason she endured it.
Empress Wei said again: "Emissary Xiao, tell them the results of your imperial hospital's diagnosis, so that they don't think I did something there. Where is Li Dequan? You are His Majesty's man, and you will make up for the rest. Complete."
"This-"
Envoy Xiao and Li De next to him both looked embarrassed, but there were too many eyes on the two of them, and they probably knew that this matter could not be kept secret. They looked at each other, and envoy Xiao said first up.
It turned out that Emperor Hongjing's fall this time really had nothing to do with his old problems. In fact, it had something to do with it, but it was not the main reason. It is also true that Ligui and Yinggui came to Qianqing Palace, these two young nobles probably also want to gain favor, and hearing that Emperor Hongjing has improved a lot in the past two days, they took the initiative to come to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience.
Emperor Hongjing ordered people to call them in, originally they were just talking to each other, but no one knew whether it was Emperor Hongjing who was very aggressive or the two little nobles who deliberately seduced them, and they actually picked up the rain and dew in the Xinuang Pavilion. Your Majesty is lucky to concubine, the servants naturally have to avoid it, even Li Dequan has to avoid it and go outside to guard, so no one knows the specific situation, only know that the two nobles came out from behind, and Emperor Hongjing had already fallen asleep.
But when he found out that Emperor Hongjing was wrong, it was Li Dequan who saw that Emperor Hongjing hadn't woken up at night. According to the usual practice, Emperor Hongjing would order tea several times at night. Only then did he find out that Emperor Hongjing was not in good condition, so he called someone from the Tai Hospital.
The hospital was alarmed, and naturally the harem was alarmed. Originally, Empress Wei didn't intend to inform the princes, she just ordered people to invite King Hui and King Dai, but Concubine Qian Xian stepped in, so that all the kings gathered in Qianqing Palace just after the palace gate opened Drama.
So it is not without basis and reason that Concubine Qian Xian deliberately acted that way before. Of course, envoy Xiao Yuan and Li Dequan didn't mention this, but it was analyzed by everyone themselves, and it was true in fact. If it wasn't for Concubine Qian Xian and King An's attempt to stir up the muddy waters, King Jin, King Lu and others probably would not have known the news so quickly.
And Emperor Hongjing's current situation is very bad, and others can't understand the set of medical principles that the envoy Xiao said. They only know that it will be fine if Emperor Hongjing can wake up, but if he can't wake up, he may not be able to do it. After all, he is getting old. people. And if you wake up, the possibility of a stroke is also very high.
After hearing all this, the entire hall fell into silence.
"According to this, it is these two little nobles who harmed the father?" King Lu said suddenly.
"Then why didn't the mother dispose of the two of them?" It was the King of Wu who spoke. It wasn't until I said it that I realized that I was stupid. For such a big matter, it is natural to cling to Emperor Hongjing's dragon body first, and those two people can't escape.
"Of course it has to be dealt with, but if I deal with it privately, it's not just confirming the words of Concubine Qian Xian and King An, so I'd better wait until everyone comes to discuss this matter."
Empress Wei's tone was cold, probably because Emperor Hongjing was such a reproachful sick person, which made her feel extremely shameless. In addition, Concubine Qian Xian's insinuations before made her very angry, so Empress Wei's style of painting has changed suddenly today, and she is not at all tolerant and magnanimous as before.
But if you think about it, if any regular wife encounters such a thing, I'm afraid she won't have a good face.
Yaoniang, who was standing next to King Jin, felt sorry for her. She was holding Xiaobao by the hand, and King Jin was standing beside her. From the beginning to the end, the family of three didn't say anything, just listened.
Ligui and Yinggui were so frightened that they fell limply to the ground, crying so hard that they kept begging for mercy, but they were still dragged by Queen Wei's order.
Unsurprisingly, the fate of the two of them will not be good, Bai Ling and Jiujiu are left to choose, this is the usual way of dealing with people in the palace.
Concubine Qian Xian wanted to stop her, but for some reason she hesitated to speak.
Now that the queen is in the general situation, saying anything will be harmful to herself, and it is not impossible to be labeled as an attempt to slander her seriously. After all, the empress is the empress of the middle palace, if something happened to Emperor Hongjing, she would be the biggest person in the palace. No matter which prince is in power, he has to respect her, including the concubines in the harem.
After that, everyone discussed about Emperor Hongjing's sickness, and Empress Wei didn't stop her. She let the princes discuss whatever they wanted.
During this period, there was another round of maneuvers. No one knew when Emperor Hongjing would wake up. Naturally, he wanted to eliminate dissidents and reflect himself, so no matter how this matter was discussed, some people would be dissatisfied.
In the end, it was King Lu who came up with the idea, saying that the two princes would pair up together and switch every day. The words of the two princes' companionship are naturally aimed at the Zhonggong lineage. In fact, what everyone is most afraid of now is that the Zhonggong will interfere with it. After all, Empress Wei is here, and she controls the harem, so she has the greatest advantage.
Today it will be guarded by King Hui and King Yong, and tomorrow it will be King An and King Dai. As for the others, they are all very tired, so they can leave the palace and return home. Maybe the matter is not as serious as everyone expected, after all, no one can tell what happened to Emperor Hongjing's dragon body.
King Jin took Yaoniang and Xiaobao out of Qianqing Palace.
Although it was already time to go to the study room, but in today's situation, no one would go to the study room. But Xiaobao still asked people to go to the study to report to the master.
Yao Niang is a little worried, no matter how stupid she is, she has seen too many wits in this short time. All parties crush each other, target each other, and mistrust each other. It's just a sickness, and it can perform so many tricks.
She glanced at King Jin: "Your Highness, are you really okay? Why do I always feel like something is going to happen."
"Nothing will happen, don't worry."
That being said, after returning to Prince Jin's mansion, Yaoniang thought that the whole family did not have breakfast, and after so much tossing and asking the small kitchen to make meals, King Jin hardly moved a few chopsticks.
He accompanied Yaoniang and Xiaobao to finish the meal before putting down the chopsticks, but Yaoniang had been with him for so long, so why couldn't she tell.
King Jin was upset. The maids were clearing up the tables, King Jin let Yaoniang rest, but went to the front yard by himself.
Yaoniang looked at his back, and her brows were filled with melancholy.
Front yard, study.
"Looking at it this way, this was an accident, and the Zhonggong lineage is not suspected?" Li Maotian said.
Mr. Liu Da and Mr. Hei seemed to be thinking about it, obviously thinking about the ingenuity involved.
"This king always feels that things are not that simple." After writing the case, King Jin said.
But it was not easy for him to tell what was going on, but even he didn't have a clue for a while. But it was obvious that King Jin realized that this was a critical time, so he would discuss this matter with his staff regardless of the royal face, because he was afraid that he would miss something and miss the opportunity because of it.
"From what His Highness told you, I didn't find any clues about the Zhonggong family. The only strange thing is, is Queen Wei a little too calm? Her reaction doesn't look like what a queen should have, and Today's vigorous and resolute methods do not match the impression given by Empress Wei in the past."
It is just that what Mr. Liu Da said, he thought of the same thing as King Jin.
As for why Mr. Liu Da knew about Empress Wei's usual behavior, it was due to the information gathered by spies who planted nails everywhere in Prince Jin's mansion. Since he was plotting for a high position, there was naturally a nail in the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and Empress Wei was a key figure in the middle palace, and she was also the focus of attention.
"Mr.'s doubts are exactly what this king has. It's just that there is no conclusive evidence now. No one dares to say that the sudden illness of the father this time has something to do with the Zhonggong family."
The matter fell into a stalemate again, there was no evidence, and Emperor Hongjing, who was the main character, was unconscious again. If the Zhonggong family took action, they must have the idea of supporting the direct line, after all, there has been a saying since ancient times that establishing a direct line does not establish a long line. Although Dai Wang is a little mediocre, it doesn't mean that he can't be a conservative emperor. If things really come to that point, those neutral ministers in the court will support Dai Wang even if they want to prevent the court from being in turmoil for the sake of the society. king.
The current situation is very unfavorable to the King Jin family. The victory was in sight, but it never expected that such a sudden incident would happen.
Although on the surface, Emperor Hongjing ignored King Jin and sent him to build Xiyuan. Precisely if you understand Emperor Hongjing's personality, you can see which side he is leaning towards. According to King Jin, he just needs to continue to wait, that position is his own, and it seems that it is not so easy to get it now.
King Jin took a deep breath and was about to say something when suddenly a person rushed in from outside the door.
It's Fucheng.
"Your Highness, the eldest son is clamoring to enter the palace, saying that he is going to serve His Majesty."
It was the first time that Yaoniang found Xiaobao so difficult to speak, and would not listen to anything she said.
She finally knew that Er Bao's temperament could follow whoever he wanted, not like a father or a mother, but like a brother. Maybe she and Prince Jin also have this side in their bones, but maybe she didn't realize it.
"Mother can't decide this matter, if you want to go, tell your father and king."
Just as he was talking, King Jin came in.
King Jin looked at Xiaobao, and Xiaobao also looked at King Jin.
Xiaobao, who is more than three years old, already looks like a big child from the outside, and he is not worse than a five or six-year-old child. People always ignore his age. But in fact Xiaobao is less than three and a half years old.
Xiaobao knew that King Jin was angry, and he could see it in his father's eyes. He pretended to be frightened, covered his eyes and cried: "I'm going to take care of Grandpa Huang, I'm going to accompany Grandpa Huang. , I took Xiaobao to play. Grandpa Huang will definitely not die, I will go to see Grandpa Huang, and if I go to see him, he will not die."
"You child, who told you that you are not dead, don't say that!" Yaoniang said anxiously. At the same time, there is an urge to cry, if it is said who Xiaobao is best with, apart from the parents, younger brother, brother Yan, brother Xuan, and the elders, only Emperor Hongjing is left.
Emperor Hongjing really loved Xiaobao very much. Although Yaoniang didn't see it many times with her own eyes, she could hear Xiaobao's every word.
"It's too chaotic in the palace now, you don't want to join in the fun as a child. Just let your father go to watch the emperor's grandpa. You stay at home with your mother and Erbao. If you don't accompany Erbao, Erbao will be fine." Someone played with him."
For the first time, Xiaobao ignored the younger brother when someone mentioned Erbao.
"Even if Dad is watching in the palace, he still has to go home to accompany his mother. I can always accompany Grandpa Huang and guard him."
Yaoniang was still trying to convince her son, but Jin Wang's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiaobao with some meaningful eyes: "You are not young anymore, you must know what you are doing. Being with Grandpa Huang is not just about words." That's enough, can you hold on?"
"I'm sure I can persevere. Daddy, let me go. I'll go to find Eunuch Li, and he will definitely agree."
