After Xiao Yanjun left Qingxin Hall, Xia Chu did not dare to let down her guard. She would wait until Xu Shiyuan Guangyi came to take a pulse before the others in the hall would withdraw, leaving only her and Xiao Yuanzi to keep watch.
Even though it has fallen into the night in Qingxin Hall, the bright lights are still shining in every corner.
The lights illuminated the pavilions and pavilions from bottom to top. Although the darkness of the night was not visible, when I looked out the window, it was already midnight, but Yuan Guangyi never came.
Not only Xia Chu was anxious, but the other people in the hall who were waiting for their next assignment were also impatient.
Until it was time to enter Haishi, someone couldn't help but walked to the door and asked Eunuch Li for instructions: "Eunuch Li, the envoy from the garden may not be here today. Do you think it is..."
Before he could finish his words, a man walked out of the hall, taking slightly unsteady steps. Before he could even walk in, the strong smell of alcohol spread with the wind.
"Envoy of the Courtyard, how much wine have you drunk, can you still see a doctor?" Eunuch Li frowned and took two steps back when he saw him approaching.
Yuan Guangyi snorted, pointed at him with his head raised and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, things are different now. Do you still expect me to burn incense and bathe to feel your pulse?"
The young man next to him who was asking Eunuch Li for instructions tugged at the corner of his clothes: "He's just here to go through the motions. It doesn't matter whether he's drunk or not. Don't argue with him and delay things."
Although Eunuch Li had known this for a long time, was he so brave now that he was so perfunctory
And the guy in front of him, he glanced at it and scolded: "I'm delaying you, why don't you go push Pai Gow when it's time?"
The young eunuch looked stunned and embarrassed: "Eunuch Li, what you said is right..."
Xia Chu heard the noise outside the house and came out. Yuan Guangyi was walking inside. Eunuch Li asked someone to stop him. When Xia Chu saw this, he quickly stepped over and whispered in Eunuch Li's ear: "Don't stop me, it'll make a big fuss." I summoned Concubine Li and the prince."
Eunuch Li closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart. Yuan Guangyi nodded and bowed with a flattering smile on his face when he saw him, but now he dared to boss him around after two drinks!
Xia Chu said to the young eunuch next to Eunuch Li: "Are you on duty? Go back quickly."
The young eunuch looked at the half-drunk Yuan Guangyi and asked in a low voice: "Don't you need our help to keep an eye on it?"
Xia Chu smiled and said: "It's just a matter of coping, don't delay my brother's fun."
The young man grinned and said, "You are still clever. I will never forget you if something good happens in the future."
Xia Chufu bowed and hurriedly followed Yuan Guangyi into the palace. The other palace people in the palace retreated one after another.
When Yuan Guangyi saw that everyone was leaving, only the maids and eunuchs were left, he suddenly laughed out loud: "Let's go, good going..."
He approached the dragon bed and looked at the emperor: "Everyone has left. Now I can have a good chat with the emperor about what's on my mind."
Xia Chu followed, and the veins on his forehead jumped after hearing this.
Seeing him throwing himself directly at the dragon bed, he hammered the bed and said: "You sent me to the prison of the Criminal Department. Do you know how much I suffered that night..."
Xia Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Envoy of the Courtyard, you'd better go to the doctor quickly, it's already getting late."
Yuan Guangyi pushed her and sneered: "What's so good about it? I told him before that he had poison in his body, but he didn't believe it. He still insisted on sending me to jail. I don't have a good life in a few days now, right?"
Xia Chu saw the emperor's eyelashes twitching suddenly, as if a needle had pricked his eyelids. He couldn't help but look sympathetically at the arrogant Yuan Guangyi, and added to his heart, you really don't have a good life in a few days. .
Xia Chu saw that he was serious and dared to say anything. He was at least 70 to 80% drunk. His eyes lit up. He originally planned to ask him to take a pulse and leave quickly, but now he changed his mind and began to trick him into talking. He asked: "When did the envoy of the Yuan Yuan know that the emperor was poisoned?"
Yuan Guangyi turned his head and stretched out a finger with a proud look on his face: "I! I will definitely be the first to know!"
Xia Chu's eyebrows narrowed. She had to diagnose the poison repeatedly before she dared to confirm it. Yuan Guangyi dared to say that he was the first to know, unless...
"When did you feed the emperor the poison?" Xia Chu didn't ask if it was him who poisoned it, but directly asked him when it was poisoned.
Yuan Guangyi's eyes suddenly brightened and he stared at her.
Xia Chu thought he was so frightened by these words that he sobered up, and felt a little regretful that he asked too eagerly.
Then Yuan Guangyi stretched out his hand to her and touched her face: "What a smart little palace daughter, what's your name? I'll tell the queen later and ask for you."
Xia Chu gritted his teeth, endured the desire to stab him to death with a needle, and stepped back without leaving a trace. He managed a smile on his face, and said to him insincerely: "The envoy of the Yuan Yuan has done this for the empress." I have taken on such a big errand, and I don’t want anything else.”
Although it is true that Yuan Guangyi was drunk, he dared to act unscrupulously in Qingxin Hall while he was drunk, because he felt that the people in Qingxin Hall today were all Concubine Li's people.
In addition, Concubine Li invited him to the Jade Palace today and specifically asked the emperor how many days he could live without medicine.
He told the truth, and that was all for a few days.
Nowadays, it is easy to let the emperor die. If Concubine Li changes her mind and asks him to save the emperor, he really doesn't have the ability to detoxify her.
The emperor was currently relying on Jingui's medicinal materials every day. Concubine Li had been waiting for him to wake up and pry out the whereabouts of the jade seal from his mouth.
But the emperor's high fever persisted and he has been in a coma until now.
This situation was actually due to the fact that he did not treat the stab wound at first, which led to the wound becoming ulcerated and inflamed, causing a high fever that persisted.
Yuan Guangyi felt uneasy, fearing that she would ask him to wake up the emperor.
Fortunately, Concubine Li only asked him to finish the work cleanly, so that at least when he was encased, no one could see that the emperor was poisoned.
Yuan Guangyi responded repeatedly, knowing that Li Fei did not intend to spend any more time.
After Concubine Li finished her instructions, she gave him a lot of rewards today and asked the imperial kitchen to give him a banquet.
He and his colleagues from Taiyuan Hospital ate and drank wildly, and everyone took turns flattering and toasting him. After three rounds, he was already drowsy.
But when the mood is high, there is no way to hold it back.
In the end, if someone hadn't reminded him that he needed to get his pulse, Yuan Guangyi would have completely forgotten about it.
Therefore, when he came all the way, he was annoyed that he was turned off.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li accused him of being drunk in an unpleasant tone. In the past, the emperor was in good health, but Eunuch Li was a popular man, but now he still regards himself as a dish and dares to point fingers at him.
Things are going to change today, and the palace is going to change hands.
When a new king succeeds to the throne, he should take the lead.
Just as the beautiful little palace maid in front of him said, he has done such a big errand for the empress, and what else does he want...
