When Qu Moying woke up the next day, he looked at the gauze curtain in front of him. He was confused for a moment, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was sore, as if he had been crushed by something heavy.
This gauze curtain is not the one she used in the past.
"Miss, are you awake?" Yuchun heard the movement on the bed and came over to lift the gauze curtain for her.
"Where is this?" Qu Moying looked around and suddenly panicked, "Where is the King of England? How is he?"
"Don't worry, young lady. The King of England is fine now. He woke up last night. You can rest in the yard next to the prince now. There are people coming and going over there. His Royal Highness the King of England said it was not convenient there, so he found two strong women to carry you here."
Yuchun smiled.
"Is he... okay?" Qu Moying asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's okay, Miss." Yu Chun handed over a cup of warm water. Qu Moying took it and drank it in a few gulps. She still felt thirsty, "Go pour me another cup."
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Yu Chun lowered her head to look at Qu Moying's face, which was surprisingly red, a rare color. However, this red did not look normal.
"I'm fine..." Qu Moying said.
"Miss, you have a fever!" Yuchun stretched out her hand to touch Qu Moying's forehead and exclaimed, "Wait a minute, I will go find someone right now."
He put down the cup, lowered the gauze curtain, and ran out anxiously. After a while, the famous doctor from the British palace followed Yudong in.
Qu Moying was lying on the bed with the gauze curtain dropped. Yu Dong took the Madam's pulse pillow, took Qu Moying's hand out from the gauze curtain, placed it on the pulse pillow, and folded a handkerchief on it.
"Miss, you have caught a cold!" After the examination, the doctor said slowly, "Your anger has attacked your heart, and the cold has entered your body. You need to rest well. I will prescribe a few prescriptions now. You can try them."
"Thank you, doctor!" Qu Moying whispered his thanks inside the gauze tent.
Yu Dong led the people to the wing room to get a prescription. Fortunately, the Yingwang Mansion now has all kinds of medicines. The emperor specially asked the imperial physician to send a lot of medicines...
After Qu Moying took the medicine, he fell asleep again in a daze. He felt listless the whole time. In a state of half-sleep, he seemed to see Pei Yuanjun's face. He smiled in a daze. Pei Yuanjun was still lying in bed and probably couldn't get up. How could he be daydreaming
"When the King of England was investigating a case, someone actually tried to murder him. Minister of Justice, don't you have anything to say?" The Emperor slammed the desk vigorously and cursed the Minister of Justice below, "Such a big thing, you actually said that you can't figure it out, it's probably the same as the previous assassinations, can it be the same? The King of England almost got into trouble!"
Whenever the emperor thought of Pei Yuanjun's pale face and the blood-stained scarf on his chest, he became so angry that he couldn't breathe, and he started coughing violently.
Li Quan skillfully patted him on the back twice to help him catch his breath.
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter vigorously!" The Minister of Justice cursed so hard that his head almost touched the ground. He just explained the matter based on the facts, but he didn't expect to make the emperor so angry.
"And your Ministry of War, the arrows of your Ministry of War are missing, don't you know? These are arrows for fighting the enemy, which are more powerful than ordinary arrows, and not everyone can pull them out and aim them accurately. You have the things of your Ministry of War, and you dare to say that I don't know and don't know!" The emperor coughed,
He pointed at the Minister of War and cursed him.
The Minister of War had no choice but to bow his head after being scolded. The arrows belonged to the Ministry of War, but they were sent to several armies. Later, when the war broke out, many of them were shot out. Even if some of them were recovered afterwards, how could they be recovered completely? There were always some that fell outside, and it was impossible to find out who the owner of the arrow was.
Of course, the Minister of War would not be so blind as to say this at this time. The Minister of Justice just explained a few words and was scolded like this.
"Your Majesty, fortunately His Royal Highness the King of England is fine. Please calm down. We still need to consider this matter in the long run." The Minister of Personnel stood up. As the head of the six ministries, even if he did not want to stand up, he could not do so at this time. He could only bite the bullet and step forward to persuade.
"Luckily nothing happened? It was almost a disaster, and you still have to make long-term plans. How to make long-term plans? Who wants to harm the King of England? Who can't tolerate the King of England?"
The emperor was furious, and anyone who said anything at this time would be scolded.
Go up one by one.
The left and right prime ministers looked at each other and stopped the steps they were about to take. It was better not to go up and provoke the emperor at this time. Didn't they see that the emperor was furious and just wanted to find someone to attack
They didn't say anything, and the Crown Prince and Prince Jing didn't dare to move, for fear that the Emperor would notice them.
When something like this happens, the royal family members are the most suspicious.
For a moment, the imperial study was silent, with only the sound of the emperor's heavy breathing, followed by his uncontrollable coughing.
This time the cough was severe. Li Quan looked at the red stain in the emperor's handkerchief and his face changed. "Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to come over."
The emperor was in such a state that he couldn't handle anything for the time being. Li Quan asked all the adults to go to a side room to rest until the emperor recovered a little.
The imperial physician came and looked very unhappy after examining the emperor.
The emperor's illness was an old one and he had not recovered for many years. This time it was more serious. Fortunately, the imperial doctors were familiar with the disease and immediately wrote out a prescription and boiled the medicine. After a busy period of time, the emperor took the medicine in the imperial study and did not go out, but went directly to the inner courtyard to rest.
After using the medicine, the emperor was not in a hurry to sleep. He leaned on the bed with his eyes closed. After a long while, he said tiredly: "Maybe I am wrong."
Li Quan stood beside the bed with his head down, not daring to respond.
The emperor continued, "I originally only wanted to ensure that he would have a worry-free life. As long as he has a worry-free life, even if I go to the earth in the future, I will have an explanation. But... there is no room for him? Liquan, do you think I am really wrong?"
The emperor seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. The wrinkles on his forehead showed that he was really old. He was no longer the emperor with great ambitions. There were some things he did at that time, but now he could not fall asleep when he thought about them.
The once beautiful imperial concubine is now not even as valuable as a hair of that man in his eyes.
I woke up from dreams several times, all because of that person.
If he had another chance to regret, he would definitely protect her this time and would never let the tragedy of the past happen again.
This question was asked directly to Li Quan, and Li Quan dared not not answer it, but answering it would be fatal.
After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "The emperor is not wrong, it's just that under the circumstances at that time... it was the only way the emperor could think of to protect the queen... but I didn't expect that under such circumstances, there would still be people who would attack the queen and would not tolerate the queen alone."
Although these words were not harsh, they hit the emperor right in the heart. The emperor exhaled in pain. It was indeed his fault for what happened back then.
He still neglected it.
She thought that others would let her go. She had already been banished to the cold palace. What else could she do? Even if she was reinstated as queen, she might not be able to keep her position. Without status and favor, she could only live a simple life.
But even so, others could not tolerate her. He had misjudged.
What about now? Did he misjudge the minds of those people? They never thought of accommodating the King of England. Was he taking things for granted again, just like he did back then
But then was then, and now is now.
He gritted his teeth and thought of the small brocade box he found in Yuan Hou Palace that day. He felt even more upset. If it weren't for what happened back then, he and she would definitely be fine and happy now.
A mistake, once made, will never happen again.
Since those people cannot tolerate the King of England, then I have to change my mindset. People always have to live, and since they have no intention of giving the King of England a chance to live, why should I worry too much
My days are numbered and I don't know when I'll be able to see her again. In my memory, she is still as beautiful as when I first met her, looking at me innocently.
If he didn't do something, even if he met her on the road to the underworld, Gong was afraid that they would be like strangers. As long as he thought that she was still smiling like a flower, while he was already old, and she was either rude or indifferent to him when she passed by, the emperor's heart could not calm down.
"I can't expect that I will regret it a hundred years from now!" the emperor whispered. Li Quan shuddered in his heart and his face changed drastically when he heard these words.
Several ministers were finally invited back. They did not leave the palace at noon and ate some food hastily. Then they were waiting for the emperor to summon them. It was not until the emperor said that he was much better and wanted to discuss matters again. Several important ministers came one after another.
After the ceremony, Chen Xiang stepped forward and asked, "How is the emperor's health?"
"It's okay, just an old problem." The emperor coughed twice again. It didn't look good, but it wasn't that serious. His expression was much calmer than before.
"Instruct the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to conduct a self-investigation. The Ministry of Justice has also sent some evidence over. Some of them are arrows, and some are other things. Investigate them all together." The emperor ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The Minister of Justice and the Minister of War responded hastily, feeling relieved. They were afraid that the Emperor would take his anger out on them without any evidence. He would definitely get to the bottom of the matter if he could. Both the Minister of Justice and the Minister of War were furious.
"Ministry of Rites, how is the ceremony between the Crown Prince and King Ying and King Jing going?" The Emperor suddenly turned his gaze to the Minister of Rites, who had nothing to do with the matter.
The Minister of Rites was originally standing aside, and didn't notice that the emperor mentioned him. After a moment of hesitation, he hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have been keeping an eye on this for the past few days, but the Crown Prince, King Ying, and King Jing are all here at this time, so the Ministry of Rites can't move fast for the time being."
Previously, the Emperor had urged the Crown Prince to arrange his marriage, and the Minister of Rites thought that the Emperor was mainly asking about the Crown Prince.
"Let's arrange the King of England's marriage earlier." The Emperor said coldly.
With one sentence, several important officials, the Crown Prince, and King Jing all raised their heads in shock...
