Xiao Changmin has been back for several days. Since his return, he has stayed indoors and never left the house. Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe also seemed to have forgotten about him. Everything was so calm and peaceful.
In fact, it is just that money should be spent wisely, and Xiao Changmin's life should also be put to the best use.
As for Xiao Changyan, whether he survives the disaster depends on his fate. At this time, it is impossible for them to mobilize troops to kill him. Your Majesty has been greatly stimulated, and they will not leave any handle.
What's more, Xiao Changfeng should be by Xiao Changyan's side. It would not be difficult to kill the two of them in one fell swoop. The difficulty would be to kill them without leaving any trace.
However, if Xiao Changyan returns, he will also be punished by His Majesty, so why create more trouble
The couple had a tacit understanding. When they arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the imperial physician and several doctors had just finished taking the emperor's pulse.
Apart from the servants, there were only the empress dowager and the little prince Xiao Changhong guarding the entire hall. Everyone else, such as Concubine Shu, was kept outside.
Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong were able to enter the inner hall, and Xiao Huayong asked the imperial physician, "How is your majesty's health?"
The imperial physician frowned and said, "Your Highness, the emperor was so angry that his blood rushed up and he fainted. He will recover in a few days..."
In fact, Emperor Youning was poisoned, but the poison only caused his internal organs to slowly fail, which was very balanced, just like the normal changes of a person in old age.
The imperial physician was completely unable to find out what was causing the disease, and by the time the toxins had accumulated and were finally released, it would be too late to save the patient.
Shen Xihe was very confident in her scented ink. This was after Xie Yunhuai, Zhenzhu, and Sui Axi had repeatedly studied it and determined that it was difficult to detect before the poison took effect, especially for older people, who would be more easily confused and concealed.
"I hope Your Majesty is okay." Xiao Huayong's pale face relaxed.
Emperor Youning had not yet woken up. They sat for a while and were then sent out by the Empress Dowager.
Your Majesty is in a coma, so naturally someone still needs to take charge of important matters at court, and the Crown Prince is also busy.
The first thing he took over was the Minjiang River incident. Xiao Huayong's news came quickly, but it was not accurate enough. The official report of 800 Li had specific figures. According to statistics from several government offices, more than 2,500 bodies had been collected.
There was no statistics on the river, and the government had sent out official ships to salvage the bodies. Although many of these people's faces were blurred by the river water, their clothes were unclear. In addition to the government patrol guards and the court soldiers, there were some whose identities were unclear.
The people in the middle and lower reaches of the Minjiang River were in a panic. The sight of so many corpses washed over by the waves really made them panic-stricken. They were anxiously waiting for the court's announcement so that they would know what had happened.
Therefore, this matter cannot be delayed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had the advantage of listening to both sides and making wise decisions. He has never had much autonomy in important court affairs, so naturally he has to listen to the opinions of court officials on such important matters.
"The people are worried about the Minjiang River issue. We cannot leave it unresolved for too long. What do you think?"
This was not a court meeting. Only important ministers were summoned to discuss the matter. Most of these people knew that when it came down to it, there were no bandits involved in the Minjiang incident. Everything was aimed at the Prince of the Northwest.
It was obvious that the King of the Northwest wanted to protect the Prince of Southern Shu's son at the behest of the Eastern Palace. At this moment, they were all nervous about the gentle Crown Prince.
