The emperor hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly!"
After a while, a little court lady led Imperial Physician Wu, who was dressed in an imperial physician's green robe, into the hall, first knelt down and saluted the empress according to the etiquette.
"Get up." The emperor raised his hand casually, and asked with a hint of eagerness in his tone, "But did the Wuhe ointment test yield results?"
Physician Wu stood up with a dignified expression, the empress's heart sank, and there was an ominous premonition in her heart: Could it be that Wuhe Ointment is really addictive? !
Physician Wu bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, empress, these days I have chosen two death row prisoners who are almost the same size as His Royal Highness Fifth Prince to test Wuhe ointment, and increased the dosage to three times that of His Royal Highness Fifth Prince, so that They take it every day... For the first seven days, the two condemned prisoners were asked to take it regularly. On the eighth day, I tried to delay the time for one of them. As a result, within an hour, the person began to feel unwell, hot and restless, and began to crave After taking Wuhe ointment, Chen boldly increased the dosage to four times. On the seventeenth day, that is, early this morning, Chen tried to stop the medicine for both of them at the same time, and they both became restless because of the withdrawal. It is said that there are ants crawling all over his body, and the person who took a large amount of medicine even lost his mind. I have tried to put conditions on him in exchange for Wuhe ointment, whether it is letting him cut flesh and bones, or lick the filth, he I did everything. It wasn't until Chen gave him enough Wuhe ointment again that he calmed down and gradually regained his sanity... "
Physician Wu spoke in a vigorous manner, which made his heart skip a beat.
This Wuhe ointment is really terrible!
Poison poison is extremely poisonous, but it kills people instantly, but this Wuhe ointment corrodes people from the bottom up little by little...
Once you really get addicted, you can easily use Wuhe ointment to control a person!
"I can already be convinced that Wuhe Ointment is indeed extremely addictive." When he said the last sentence, Imperial Physician Wu lowered his head even lower and held his breath nervously.
After Wu Taiyi finished speaking, the hall was silent and dead silent, and the servants and maids in the hall were even more silent.
The emperor's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, as if a storm was brewing.
The queen was even more frightened, angry and anxious, her eyes were red, and she trembled: "This Kui Lang is so vicious, Your Majesty, isn't that Faner..." The queen's face was pale, and she almost didn't dare to think about it.
The emperor regained his composure and hastily ordered: "Come here, hurry up and announce the Fifth Prince..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor remembered that today the fifth prince went to Kufeng Garden with his two companions, Nan Gongxin and Jiang Mingqing.
Spring is approaching, and now students from all over Dayu have gathered in the capital to participate in this year's scientific examination, and Kufeng Garden is the place where the most talented people gather in the capital, and there are often talented people there. State affairs and civil affairs, occasionally some unique insights will be spread...
That's why the emperor specially sent the fifth prince to visit, hoping that he could learn something, or find some talents there.
The emperor's brows were tightly furrowed, and he swiftly gave a series of instructions to a servant standing by:
"The fifth prince is now in Kufeng Garden, quickly order the imperial guards to escort the fifth prince back!"
"Also, pass on my order to order Lu Huaining to lead Jin Yiwei to surround the Three Princesses' Mansion and not allow anyone to enter or leave! Bring Kui Lang to see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." A servant replied respectfully, and hurried down...
A dark cloud gradually shrouded the palace, but the Fifth Prince Han Lingfan, who was outside the palace at the moment, didn't know anything about it. He was sitting with Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing in the Kufeng Garden in the south of the city.
Although Ku Feng Yuan is called "Garden", it is actually a two-story teahouse. The lobby on the first floor is spacious and bright, with neatly arranged square tables. Many students dressed as scholars sit beside the square tables. Han Lingfan The three of them were also wearing scholar's robes.
The lobby is very lively, and several students are arguing endlessly about the topic of the main battle or the main peace.
A student in a blue robe said impassionedly: "In recent years, there have been frequent wars in southern Xinjiang, and the people are living in dire straits. It is all because the Prince of Zhennan and his son are militant and aggressive. As a result, wars have continued, and soldiers and people have suffered heavy casualties. For us Dayu, for the sake of the people in southern Xinjiang, it is still necessary to negotiate peace with the surrounding area and turn hostility into peace, so that southern Xinjiang can recuperate and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. However, the king of Zhennan and his son are blindly fighting. This is a warlike, reckless war! Useless."
"Brother Li, you are wrong!" Another blue-robed student suddenly stood up, expressing his heart, "There is an old saying: 'First strengthen the country's prestige, then peace and war will be with me; Always there'. Baiyue and Nanliang wolves are ambitious and intend to invade our territory of Dayu, if they blindly seek peace, wouldn’t they make Baiyue and Nanliang look down on my Dayu, and I’m afraid they will only make progress!"
"I think Brother Ran's words are wrong." Another student in a lake-colored robe said again, "Back then Dayu and Xi Yehe negotiated peace, but now the two countries are still peaceful and peaceful for several years."
"..."
Students, you say what you say, one quotes the classics, and the other uses historical facts as the argument. For a while, it is divided into two factions, the main war and the main and the two. Neither can convince the other.
Han Lingfan listened intently for a while, then lowered his voice and said to Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing beside him, "What Mr. Ran said earlier is good, it kind of means 'stop war with war, promote peace with war', but it's a pity Speaking of later, the strength is not enough... "
Nangong Xin agreed: "What Fifth Young Master said is true, if so..."
"Hey, what are you whispering about?" Suddenly, an unkind voice came from behind Nangong Xin, not only interrupting Nangong Xin's words, but even a student who was talking eloquently frowned and kept silent.
The hall fell silent, everyone's eyes followed the sound, half of them fell on Nangong Xin's table, and the other half fell on the owner of the voice just now—a young student in a royal blue robe. The student has a square face, regular facial features, and a cynical look between his brows.
The student reprimanded Han Lingfan and the three of them righteously: "We are debating here today, and everyone expresses their feelings openly and aboveboard. What's the point of the three of you secretly discussing people's rights and wrongs behind their backs?"
For a while, other people around were whispering to each other, casting dissatisfied glances at Han Lingfan and the three of them.
Nangong Xin frowned slightly. It is true that as this brother said, the three of them were whispering, which seemed inappropriate, but this person ignored the other people's arguments and rashly spoke out, but it was suspected of sensationalism.
"Fifth son..."
Nangongxin asked Han Lingfan what he meant with his eyes, and when he saw the other party nodded slightly, he stood up, brushed off his robe, looked around the crowd calmly, and said loudly: "Then I will do what this brother asked, and say A few humble thoughts."
He straightened his mind and said with reason: "Whether it is a main war or a main peace, the words " and " are inseparable in the end. The end of a war is not the next war, and peace must be the general trend in the end." However, if the talk of war changes, and one retreats again and again, bowing one's knees, it is putting the cart before the horse and putting the country in danger. As the old saying goes: 'No matter how big a country is, a warlike country will perish; "
After a pause, he glanced at Han Lingfan, and said sonorously and forcefully, "That's right, 'stop war with war, promote peace with war'."
After he finished speaking, there was silence all around, and the blue-clothed student just now thought about it and said: "Even if the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike; although the world is safe, if you forget the war, you will be in danger..." Shicai, he is afraid of fighting. Foreigners look down on Dayu, but forget that the main point of the main battle is "If you forget the battle, you will be in danger."
"What Ah Xin said is good." Han Lingfan applauded approvingly, followed by other people applauding sparsely, and the applause became louder and louder...
Nangong Xin smiled slightly, and was about to sit down, but saw that Han Lingfan's expression was a little strange, and his brows were tightly knit together.
"Dian... Fifth Prince, what's the matter with you?" Nangong Xin asked nervously, and immediately thought in his mind, could it be that His Royal Highness Fifth Prince's headache is attacking again? !
Jiang Mingqing also noticed that Han Lingfan's expression was wrong, and he was worried, "Cousin Fan!"
Han Lingfan could no longer hear the voices of the two of them. He only felt a splitting headache and pain, as if a drill was being drilled hard in his head, or as if firecrackers were crackling and exploding...
In the blink of an eye, he was already drenched in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of a pool.
Only he himself knew that he hadn't taken Wuhe ointment for two days.
Since Aunt Yongyang advised him to take as little medicine as possible last time, he tried to reduce the dosage, although it was uncomfortable, but he could still get through it. So, in the past two days, he simply cut himself off from the medicine, and even took some refreshing and pain-relieving decoctions in advance. He thought he was in good health until now!
Han Lingfan held his head tightly with both hands, and found that not only was he having a severe headache, but even his body felt that something was wrong. His whole body was like countless bugs crawling in his flesh and blood, greedily gnawing at his flesh and blood...
breathe-
His breathing became more and more rapid and heavy, his trembling body twitched slightly, and his face became a little pale...
"Quick! Bring Fifth Young Master to the carriage!" Nangong Xin shouted anxiously, ordering the accompanying servant and a royal guard.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rumbling footsteps coming from outside the teahouse, followed by more than 20 imperial guards rushing in aggressively, and the other students around were silent, looking at this scene.
The chief guard at the head saw Han Lingfan's distressed appearance, but he didn't know that the other party was suffering from a headache, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I've offended you." Then, he waved his arms and ordered, "Hurry up and take Your Highness back to the palace! "
The two imperial guards immediately stepped forward, picked up Han Lingfan swiftly, and put him on the carriage. Naturally, Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing followed closely behind, leaving only the stunned students in the Wind Garden.
This can be called His Highness, isn't he a prince
Seeing that the group of people dressed like imperial guards just now, I am afraid that the young man who fell ill just now is undoubtedly the prince!
Thinking about it, everyone had different expressions, whispering to each other in twos and threes, some were surprised, some were happy, some were regretful, some were afraid...
On the other side, a group of imperial guards escorted the carriage back to the palace as quickly as possible. After a short incense burn, the fifth prince was sent into the palace.
At this time, Han Lingfan seemed to be on the verge of death, as if half of his life had already passed away. Several servants grabbed his hand to prevent him from harming himself. He kept moaning and panting, sometimes complaining about pain, sometimes saying that he was uncomfortable, and sometimes saying that he would rather die...
Seeing Han Lingfan like this, the Queen's heart ached so much that she almost fainted.
But she knew she couldn't.
"Fan'er." The queen held Han Lingfan's hand, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a trembling voice, "The queen mother is here." Wuhe Gao... Could it be that Wuhe Gao is the only one who can save Fan'er
"Xuan Imperial Physician! Hurry up and announce Imperial Physician!" the emperor said urgently.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The servant hastily took orders and went down.
Just as the servant walked out, Lu Huaining, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, also arrived at the back, knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the third son-in-law has been brought here and is waiting outside the hall."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan!"
The emperor walked out of the inner room, and not long after, Kui Lang, who was wearing a navy blue robe, walked in, saluted respectfully: "See Father."
The emperor looked at him gloomyly, and didn't shout for a long time, but squeezed out a voice through his teeth, "Kuilang, how are you...you are so kind!"
Kui Lang pretended to be puzzled and said: "I don't know what the father means?"
"Wuhe cream!" The emperor casually picked up a cup on the table and threw it towards Kui Lang, and it fell heavily at Kui Lang's feet, splashing broken porcelain and tea, "How dare you give me such a vicious thing?" What is the intention of taking it for the five emperors?!"
A sinister light flashed in Kui Lang's eyes, and he said in his mouth: "Father, the fifth emperor's younger brother was suffering from a headache that day. When my son offered Wuhe ointment, he also clearly stated that there is no perfect magic medicine in the world. Wuhe ointment can cure five The emperor suffers from a headache, but there will also be a little sequelae, and the father allowed the fifth emperor to use it at that time."
Thinking of the situation at that time, the emperor clenched his hands tightly into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
At that time, Xiao Wu was in so much pain that he had no time to think about it, but now...
"Father." Kui Lang stepped forward, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's, but he concealed it well, but his voice was respectful as usual, "The raw materials of Wuhe ointment are precious, the production is complicated, and it is extremely expensive. It is difficult to take it every day, so there is the pain of stopping the medicine. But Wuhuangdi is a nobleman in the sky, so why can't you get Wuhe ointment? As long as you don't stop taking the medicine, the addiction will naturally not occur. The emperor's headache can also be relieved, which is really beneficial and not harmful, please learn from my father."
Seeing that the emperor just looked at him coldly and did not speak, Kui Lang continued to say respectfully: "Father, if you are worried, I can offer the prescription of Wuhe ointment with both hands...Father, you don't want to see Wuhuangdi Be plagued by headaches all day long."
There was a dull pain in the emperor's chest.
No matter what Kui Lang's real purpose is, there is one sentence that is right: even if he knew in advance that Wuhe ointment might be addictive, in that case, would he really not be able to use it to relieve Xiao Wu's pain
"ah-"
In the inner room, there was a tragic cry at this moment, the emperor's heart skipped a beat, of course he could tell that it was Xiao Wu's voice.
The emperor entered the inner room eagerly, leaving Kui Lang alone outside with a smug smile on his lips.
Heh, so what if you know that Wuhe Ointment is addictive? Dayu's future prince has been abolished!
In the inner room, there was chaos. Imperial Physician Wu was sitting on the side of the couch to check Han Lingfan's pulse. The servant next to him was sweating profusely pressing down on Han Lingfan's limbs. Tears in the corner of my eyes...
Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing waited anxiously, and when they saw the emperor coming in, they saluted the emperor in unison.
Han Lingfan's screams and groans were still heard one after another, and everyone present was terrified. One can imagine what kind of pain he was enduring...
The emperor's face became even more gloomy, he didn't care about excuses, and said directly to Nangong Xin: "Ah Xin, I heard that Mrs. Fu will go to Southern Xinjiang to propose marriage for Brother He in a few days, you and Liu Niang will accompany Mrs. Fu Let's go!"
Nangong Xin was slightly taken aback, the emperor meant to let him and Liu Niang also go to southern Xinjiang
The emperor continued to order: "A Xin, your grandfather is also in southern Xinjiang now, you go and invite him to the capital!"
Nangong Xin suddenly realized, yes, if there is anyone in this world who can help the fifth prince, it is probably only my grandfather.
Spring is approaching, he was supposed to play this year. However, if he can save the Fifth Prince, it doesn't matter if he delays for three years! Thinking of this, Nangong Xin responded with a solemn expression.
The emperor nodded slightly, did not speak any more, and turned to look at the fifth prince anxiously.
It wasn't until the palace gate was about to be locked that the fifth prince, who had taken a large amount of tranquilizing medicine, finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep. Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing then resigned and left the palace.
The two walked silently until they left the palace gate. Jiang Mingqing murmured with a heavy expression: "Cousin Fan must be safe and sound. Cousin Fan is smart and studious, with both civil and military skills, wise and tolerant, corporal Liu Taifu, Lin Daru and the others also praised Cousin Fan for his demeanor. Besides Cousin Fan, who other prince can take on the important task?" He clenched his fists and said with confidence, "The king of Chengjun has no plans, and the king of Shunjun has a deep plan. The king of the county is also... "
Jiang Mingqing sighed deeply, "Ah Xin, have you heard that a concubine of Prince Gong's mansion gave birth to a monster?" He looked at Nangong Xin with a complex expression, he remembered that King Gong had a monster. The side concubine should be Nangong Xin's cousin.
"Monster?" Nangong Xin couldn't help showing surprise on his face.
Jiang Mingqing nodded and said: "I heard it from people on the way to Kufeng Tower this morning. There are rumors among the people that monsters are born, and there must be monsters in Gongjun Palace..."
Nangong Xin's eyes widened. He subconsciously looked towards the southeast, which was the direction of Prince Gong's Mansion.
At this moment, a few streets away, there are also storms in Gongjun Prince's Mansion.
In the most luxurious Xinghui Courtyard in the palace, a large group of people walked in mightily, from the courtyard to the small delivery room.
There was a sense of tension in the air.
Cui Yanyan, who was dressed in purple and gold, two-color butterflies, and wearing patterned and carved silk gown, looked radiant, but she made a regretful expression and said, "Sister Xiao'er, it's not that my sister is inconsiderate. My sister just gave birth yesterday, but there are rumors among the people that it is the county It is an ominous omen for a monster to be born in the palace, and there must be a monster in the palace; the prince is wise, martial, kind and generous, he is the son of a real dragon, so naturally he cannot be a monster, and that monster is naturally the mother of a monster!"
As she said that, Cui Yanyan sighed and said: "Hey, sister Xiao'er, people speak fearsome words, for the sake of the prince's reputation... the prince can only wrong you, sister Xiao'er."
"I want to see the prince!" Bai Muxiao, who was wearing a white wipe on her forehead for a month, had a pale face, gritted her teeth and looked at Cui Yanyan.
I really don't want to die without seeing the Yellow River! Cui Yanyan sneered, waved her hands and ordered the servants: "Take side concubine Bai and eldest son to the small Buddhist hall yet!"
Several women with big arms and round waists walked towards Bai Muxiao on the bed with a smile on their faces. Bi Hen and Bi Luo immediately stood in front of Bai Muxiao, but these two maids with slender arms and legs, how could they be these women? The opponent was pulled away in two or three strokes.
A woman said coldly: "Bai Fangfei, you'd better go obediently with this servant, so as not to hurt you and..." She looked at the red swaddle in Bai Muxiao's arms with some taboo, with a look of disgust on her face.
Bai Muxiao carefully protects the child in her arms. No matter what happens to the child, it is a piece of flesh that fell from her stomach, and it is her flesh and blood. But what about the child's father...
She couldn't help looking in the direction of the door curtain, hoping that Han Lingfu would appear in front of her in the next moment and tell her that all this was caused by this woman, Cui Yanyan, and he was always the same to her...
But what she waited for was nothing but disappointment!
Bai Muxiao's heart was icy cold, shrouded in despair. Although she had recognized the true face of this man long ago, he still disappointed her more and more time and time again. Now he wants her to die, let this child die, so that the stains on his body can be washed away...
Bai Muxiao bowed her head and looked at the child in her arms. Her child didn't become like this for no reason, it must have been murdered by someone.
No matter who it is, she will not let it go.
But she hated Han Lingfu the most!
If it wasn't for him, why would I have fallen to this point!
At the beginning when I clearly rejected him, why did he insist on provoking me, and even made a promise to me that I will be a couple for the rest of my life,
For him, I gave in again and again, but what happened? !
In the end, it was her child who was killed.
Bai Muxiao gritted her teeth, Han Lingfu, you are not worthy of being a father...
Even if she and her child will die, she will take the entire county palace to be buried with her!
Bai Muxiao's eyes are as dark as that bottomless hell, as long as she can take revenge, even if she doesn't hesitate to fall into the realm of evil ghosts, she is willing
