"ah--"
The queen suddenly let out a low cry, followed the sound, and saw the fifth prince's pale face fell down, with glaring blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by many maids and nuns, and then he was no longer visible. I only saw that large group of people leaving their seats in a crowd, and even the emperor and empress also left the seat one after another...
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a while, the hall was very quiet.
When something like this happened, the palace banquet naturally couldn't continue as if nothing had happened. After a while, the palace banquet ended in a hurry after the oral order from the servant.
It was rare for a palace banquet to end in this way.
Nangong Yue followed Su and others out of the palace under the arrangement of the palace people, and everyone got into their own carriages. Naturally, Nangong Yue was with her mother, Lin.
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, the sun has been covered by dark clouds, and it looks like a storm is about to come...
Nangong Yue's heart seemed to be pressed against a mountain, Fifth Prince, what's going on now
Will everything develop as expected by Guan Yubai
The more Nangong Yue thought about it, the more she felt breathless, her right hand tightly grasped the jade pendant hanging around her waist, the veins on the back of her hand bulged, and her whole body collapsed like a fully drawn bow.
Lin Sensitively felt that her daughter's emotions were not right, so she held her little hand with one hand and pulled her into her arms with the other, and said softly: "Sister Yue, it's okay. The fifth prince will be fine... "I thought to myself: Although Sister Yue behaves like an adult on weekdays, she is still a little girl after all. It is no wonder that such a thing happened at a rare palace banquet, which frightened her... Besides, the fifth prince really kissed her. thick. Hey, poor Fifth Prince at such a young age... As soon as he enters the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, this statement is really true.
Of course Nangong Yue knew that her mother had misunderstood, but she couldn't express her true thoughts, so she could only curl up in her mother's arms silently.
"Da da da..." The Nangong mansion's carriage drove on the official road of the king's capital at a leisurely pace, with the sound of horseshoes, rolling wheels, and dust billowing on the bluestone road. Looking up at the sky, I saw that half of the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and half of the sky was burning with blood-like clouds, which looked very mysterious.
The sky in this royal capital is about to change!
**◆**
In Fengluan Palace, the air was extremely oppressive, as heavy as the eve of a rainstorm, and the maids and nuns dared not even take a breath.
"How is the fifth prince?" the queen said loudly, "If he can't be cured, I want your whole family to be buried with him!" Her voice was cold and oppressive, but her complexion was as pale as paper. After taking off the queen's coat, she is just a mother who is worried about her son at the moment.
On the bed, the Fifth Prince, who was still ruddy and full of energy during the day, now turned blue and was lying there dying. The bed was originally too big, but now it reflected the fifth prince's small body, making him look even more pitiful.
The queen sat on the side of the bed and tightly held a small hand of the fifth prince. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup remained. At this time, she didn't care about her face, her eyes were fixed on the fifth prince, afraid that if she blinked, he would leave like this.
The few imperial physicians below knelt in a row, sweating profusely, and looked at each other bitterly.
The imperial physicians have already examined the fifth prince's pulse, but none of them can say what the reason is. The pulse looks a bit like poisoning, but it is not poisoning, not to mention that in the palace, who dares to publicize the poisoning? Said, isn't this courting death!
What's more, the fifth prince's body is too weak, and this sudden illness made his already weak body worse, like a tall building that was already crumbling, which may collapse at any time!
In the current situation, they are really powerless!
"Empress!" the oldest Wu imperial physician said tremblingly, "Please forgive me, I can't do anything! Empress, you should... prepare for the fifth prince's funeral as soon as possible!"
"You are talking nonsense!" The queen raised her voice angrily, like a lioness guarding her cubs, "Imperial Physician Wu, even if you are sentenced by the imperial hospital, I can still let you die without a place to bury you!"
"Empress, nonsense, nonsense." Imperial Physician Wu stayed in the palace for so many years, and was not frightened by the queen's words. He still insisted, "His Royal Highness Fifth Prince is dying of illness, and there is really nothing the minister can do."
"Shut up!" The queen was still domineering, but her tears kept streaming down like pearls with a broken thread. Based on what she knew about Imperial Physician Wu, she knew that Imperial Physician Wu would not be aimless, but she really didn't want to believe what the other party said, her emperor was still so young, how could he leave her!
"The emperor is here!"
At this time, the servant gave a notification, and the emperor strode away into the Fengluan Palace. A group of people hurriedly knelt down to salute the emperor, and the empress also gave a blessing.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!" The emperor waved his hand casually, and asked the empress anxiously, "Empress, how is Xiao Wu's condition?"
The queen straightened up, tears filled her eyes again, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that Xiaowu he...he..." She choked up and couldn't continue.
The emperor turned his gaze to Imperial Physician Wu, and said sharply, "Executive Wu, come and tell me!"
Physician Wu bowed respectfully, repeated what he had just said to the queen, and did not dare to raise his head in fear. The majesty of this emperor can destroy the world with one word!
The emperor didn't expect the fifth prince's illness to be so serious, and his face was not very good-looking, and he snapped: "What are there so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital for? No matter how good the medicine is, I have to cure the fifth prince." Prince! Otherwise, I will only ask you!"
Physician Wu replied slowly: "I will do my best..."
At this time, the maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to make a sound, or in other words, they wished they could be invisible now.
The imperial physicians were even more trembling, gathered together and discussed each other, but there was no conclusion for a long time.
The emperor walked to the couch of the fifth prince, and looked at the youngest son on the couch without saying a word, with a gloomy expression.
At this time, Mrs. En Guogong rushed to Fengluan Palace under the guidance of the maid, and first saluted with the emperor.
After getting up, she saw the empress's sad appearance, and she was very distressed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter? Could it be that there is no imperial doctor in such a big palace who can cure the Fifth Prince?"
"No..." The queen burst into tears, unable to speak a word, "They all said... They all said that I should prepare for Xiao Wu... the funeral!" The queen's tone was full of grief, her lips trembling slightly.
"What?!" Mrs. En Guogong shook her body twice in shock, "How could it be so serious?"
"Mrs. Hui Enguo." The Wu imperial doctor bowed and explained, his spine was almost bent, "The fifth prince was born weak, this time it will make him worse, we really can't do anything!"
"Then... what should I do then?" Mrs. En Guogong's complexion was pale. If the fifth prince really passed away like this, it would be an out-and-out bad news for Duke Enguo's mansion.
Mrs. En Guogong was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said to the queen: "Madam, these quack doctors are incompetent! Why don't you let the third girl from Nangong Mansion try it. Before you These quack doctors didn't see the remaining poison on her body, and let that third girl heal her. Maybe she has a solution!"
"Is she... really good?" The queen glanced at the emperor with some hesitation. Although Nangong Yue had excellent medical skills, she was so young that it was impossible to be proficient in so many difficult and miscellaneous diseases at the same time. What's more, the emperor is here, even the empress, can't make her own decisions at will.
"Third girls from Nangong?" The emperor heard the words and came over, "You mean the girls from the Qin family in Nangong?" The only one in the royal capital whose surname is Nangong!
The queen hurriedly replied: "This third girl from Nangong Mansion is the only daughter of Nangong Mu, the eldest son of the Nangong family. Her maternal grandfather is the famous doctor Lin Jingchen, who is very skilled in medicine, but unfortunately her whereabouts are hard to find!"
Mrs. En Guogong was afraid that the emperor would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the third girl of Nangong is young, she has extraordinary medical skills. The headache of my wife's head disease is helpless, and it was the third girl of Nangong who cured her."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is the end of the matter, so it's not impossible to give it a try!" The emperor also had the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor in his heart. What if Nangong Yue can really do it
The queen saw the emperor and immediately knew what the emperor wanted. Naturally, the emperor would not call Nangong Yue into the palace according to his will. After all, Nangong Yue is only a ten-year-old girl. If the fifth prince is not cured, even the emperor will teach others joke.
The queen glanced at the bloodless fifth prince on the bed again, and took out a golden token, "Madam Li, order the servants to hold this token and announce the imperial decree to summon Nangong Yue, the third daughter of the Nangong Mansion, into the palace! "
"Yes!" Nanny Li took the order and left in a hurry.
"I hope she really has a way!" The queen tightly held the fifth prince's little hand, but looked out of the door from time to time, as if waiting for the final savior.
"Da da da… "
The carriage sent by Fengluan Palace drove on the street at a very high speed, heading towards Nangong Mansion.
But at this time in Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yue was leaning on the soft couch by the window, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, her heart was actually not as peaceful as she appeared.
After a long time, Yimei finally couldn't bear it and said: "Miss San, it's late at night, it's time to rest."
"Wait a little longer." Nangong Yue said slowly, looking at the dark night outside.
Yimei couldn't help muttering in her heart: After returning from the palace, the third girl said to wait, and she has been waiting until now, and she doesn't know what she is waiting for...
At this moment, there was a noise from outside, and Huamei reported from the outside: "Third Miss, the housekeeper sent someone to say that it is someone from the palace, and the empress has an order to tell you to go to the hall in the front yard."
finally come!
Guan Yubai was right!
A look of joy flashed across Nangong Yue's eyes, she stood up abruptly, and replied, "I'll go right away."
With Yimei's help, Nangong Yue hurried to the hall after adjusting her clothes a little.
In the hall, a white-faced and beardless father-in-law was pacing impatiently, looking towards the door from time to time. When he saw Nangong Yue, he was overjoyed, took out a golden token, and hurriedly said: "Miss Nangong, the empress has a decree , please accompany this old slave into the palace."
This token represents the empress's edict, and Nangong Yue immediately blessed herself, and replied: "The minister will obey the empress's edict."
"Then Miss Nangong, come with this old slave."
The arrival of people from the palace, such a big event, naturally alarmed Su Shi, and when Su hurried to the hall, Nangong Yue had already taken Yimei into the palace carriage and walked away...
