Zhou Taiyi was a judge of the sixth grade of the Taiyuan Hospital, with superb medical skills and was deeply trusted by Emperor Xi.
In terms of medical skills, there was almost nothing to choose from last week's imperial physicians, but in dealing with people, this week's imperial physicians were somewhat incomprehensible.
He is rigid and rigid, taciturn, does not like to deal with people, and is never alone. This situation became more serious after he became the most trusted imperial physician around Emperor Xi. Perhaps Emperor Xi admired him for this, but who could know
Since that time when Emperor Xi fainted, although the surface was calm, but because of the clues revealed, Zhou Taiyi, who was in the center of the vortex, never stopped. There are always people who want to know the specific condition of Emperor Xi's body under various pretexts, but how could Imperial Doctor Zhou say it, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.
Imperial Doctor Zhou looked more and more stern, with deep ravines on his slender face, a sauce-yellow complexion, tightly pursed lips and tightly wrinkled gray-white eyebrows, all of which showed that he was a person who refused to be thousands of miles away.
A little medicine boy walked in, and every imperial physician is indispensable to this role of running errands. He raised a food box and placed it on the bookcase, and it could be seen that he was delivering lunch to Imperial Doctor Zhou.
There are imperial physicians on duty in the Taiyuan Hospital every day, and these imperial physicians on duty can only leave the Taiyuan Hospital when they are on duty. The palace is in charge of all the daily necessities. Today, the imperial physician of Zhou is on an errand, and he must wait until You Shi can be placed on duty.
The little medicine boy was carrying the food from the food box. Zhou Taiyi didn't pay much attention, but because of this person's inconspicuous gesture, he focused his eyes.
"Master Yang asked Xiao to spread the word. The Prince will have some action tonight. Imperial Doctor Zhou must not forget what Master Yang told you before."
This voice was like a mosquito roaring, but it penetrated into the ears of Imperial Doctor Zhou very clearly.
Imperial Physician Zhou's body froze, and his complexion appeared a little complicated.
The man said again: "In the future, Taiyi Zhou will be in the palace, and the young will be around, and the young will be responsible for the meals in the future."
Zhou Taiyi's face was even more ugly, and before he could react, the medicine boy said again: "Your meal has been manipulated today, and it was replaced by a small one. This is also for your safety!"
Zhou Imperial Physician was shocked and leaned back in the chair, unable to make a sound for a long time.
The little medicine boy went down with the food box, while Imperial Physician Zhou looked at the meal on the table, but he had no appetite at all.
First questioned, then forced questioning, and now some shady means have come out.
How long can I hold on? Zhou Taiyi really didn't know, but he had to continue to persevere for the sake of his family. Thinking of what the little Yaotong said before, Taiyi Zhou's face was unpredictable, would the Crown Prince really do this? How can they be confident that the prince will do it tonight, unless there are nails buried there and his status is not low.
Recalling everything that happened in recent days, Zhou Taiyi's feeling of being coerced gradually faded. He is not a good person, and he has long been involuntarily...
After an unknown amount of time, the little medicine boy came in to clean up the dishes. Seeing that the meal on the table remained untouched, he couldn't help but glance at Imperial Physician Zhou.
"Take it." Zhou imperial doctor said solemnly: "Tell you master, I will do as you say, but my family—"
"Doctor Zhou, don't worry."
As soon as he arrived at Youshi, Imperial Physician Zhou picked it up a little and went to the palace gate.
Outside the gate of De Palace, he saw the familiar awning carriage at home.
As they approached, the groom respectfully put down the car bench, and Imperial Doctor Zhou got into the car and let out a sigh of relief after the curtain was lowered.
After half a sound, the carriage slowly moved forward, and the swaying made him feel a little drowsy.
Hearing a chuckle suddenly, Taiyi Zhou was startled. Immediately after that, he was restrained by someone, and it was pitch black in front of him. He struggled hard, shouting urgently: "Who is it? What do you want to do? Old money, old money..."
Lao Qian was the groom of the Imperial Physician Zhou, and he drove the Imperial Physician Zhou for more than 20 years.
The car did not stop, and continued to move forward slowly.
The man chuckled again, with contempt in his voice, "Don't scream, it's not some old money outside..."
Zhou Taiyi's heart suddenly froze.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to invite you to meet a few people."
"Please let me see someone, is there such a robbery?"
"There's no way, Imperial Doctor Zhou is usually too disrespectful, so we can only use some other means."
East Palace
It was already the second watch, and the lights in the study room were still bright.
"Chen Qi hasn't come back yet?" the prince asked.
A eunuch by the door went out to ask questions, then turned around and reported, "Your Highness, Eunuch Chen has not returned."
The prince frowned: "Where's Liu He? Liu He hasn't come back?"
The two went out together, and Eunuch Chen didn't come back, so how could Liu Shiwei come back!
The eunuch only dared to slander, but said timidly, "Liu Guard has not returned yet."
"These two people have been on an errand for so long..." The prince stood up and kept pacing back and forth, seeming to be very impatient.
Just at this moment, there was a movement outside, and the eunuch hurriedly looked around, and when he saw the person, his face was full of joy.
"Your Highness, Guard Liu is back."
The prince looked happy, "Hurry up!"
Guard Liu walked in hurriedly, bowed first, and then moved to his side under the prince's gesture.
"how?"
"His Royal Highness, fortunately not to be humiliated! I think that Zhou Taiyi was as cunning as a fox and stubborn as a stone. He had his weakness in our hands, and we still refused to admit defeat. Your Highness, you were not there, did not see Zhou Taiyi's old face, when he knew about the family When the children are in our hands, the expression is very wonderful."
This is not the first time that Liu Shiwei has dealt with Zhou Taiyi. He had already sent someone to contact him at the order of the Crown Prince. Whether it is to be moved by affection, understood by reason, or lured by profit, it is useless! That Zhou Imperial Doctor was like a stone in a quarry, stinky and hard.
To be able to win Taiyi Zhou this time, Liu Weiwei is also very relieved, and the prince is also full of grievances against the Taiyi Zhou, so he has to exaggerate a lot, so that the prince can also relieve his anger. Generally, those who work as slaves by the master's side are all well versed in this way. It is not bad for Liu Shiwei to be able to get into the position of the prince's confidant.
It's a pity that Guard Liu didn't know that what the prince was eager to know at this time was not this, but it was somewhat counterproductive.
"Speaking of the main point, what's the matter with this mess!" The prince said impatiently.
Guard Liu hurriedly adjusted his expression and whispered a few words in the ear of the prince.
"It's true!"
The prince's voice exploded abruptly, causing the guard Liu, who was very close to him, to be somewhat frightened. The prince ignored him and went around in circles on the spot, which was enough to prove how shocked he was.
"It's true, my subordinates and Eunuch Chen heard it with their own ears."
"Where's Chen Qi?"
Guard Liu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Eunuch Chen is in charge of the finishing touches. Thinking that His Highness is still waiting for news, his subordinates will come back to report first."
The specific situation is indeed the case, but the machine between the people below, as the high-ranking prince, cannot understand.
This matter is the credit of Chen Qi. The family of Imperial Doctor Zhou was also found by Chen Qi. The reason why Liu Guards followed him was just to help, and it could be regarded as a kind of subconscious distrust of the prince. After all, Chen Qi's emergence from him is only a matter of recent years. Although he is very capable and looks very different from the prince, Liu Weiwei is the prince's die-hard confidant. Comparable to the rootless man from this rising star.
Including the report this time, it was also specially given to Liu Guard by Chen Qi. For such a big happy event, the Crown Prince will naturally reward him a lot when he is happy.
"Good, good, really good. You and Chen Qigu are rewarded! Such a good thing should be known to the mother."
The prince just lifted his feet, and suddenly remembered that it was almost three watch at this time, even if he was a prince, he couldn't go to the harem at the moment, he could only suppress his excitement and impulse, and sat back on the chair again.
There are only two years of Yangshou left? So does it mean that he can wait two more years to get the position he dreamed of? After the mother, the son finally waited, and when he became the real honor of the ninety-five, he would not let any of those who humiliated him...
This day is not far away!
Meanwhile, in a house.
Eunuch Chen Qi exchanged a wink with an unremarkable person, and left with his own people. As for other things, naturally someone ends up.
Imperial Physician Zhou was also taken away. At this time, Imperial Physician Zhou had become their guest, so he naturally had to be carefully sent back.
The carriage came to an alley not far from Zhou Imperial Physician's house and stopped.
Imperial Physician Zhou got out of the carriage and walked back staggeringly.
When I got to the door of my house, I knocked gently on the door, and the old servant in the house came to open the door.
"Master, why did you come back so late, but you have eaten?"
Imperial Physician Zhou did not speak, waved his hand tiredly, and went inside.
As soon as he entered the room and sat down, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"You have done a good job today, and I hope you can continue to do so. Find a chance to show some clues to His Majesty, and we will do the rest."
Zhou Taiyi himself hated these ghosts and ghosts, and he was exhausted by so much stimulation today. At this moment, I finally calmed down, and I was suddenly startled again, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry.
"What the hell are you trying to do? The dignified prince has such filthy methods, coercion, deceit, intrigue, shameless, and a hint of shame?"
The other party did not speak, waiting for Zhou Taiyi to vent.
After Zhou Taiyi finished scolding and stopped breathing heavily, the other party said with a chuckle: "You don't need to understand what we want to do, you just need to know that we are helping each other. You know what you are in now. The situation, even without the help of His Royal Highness, do you think that with your ability, you can get out of your body? You can't escape from the beginning. The imperial doctor you have been doing for so many years should understand, otherwise, the family will not be hidden. It's been so many years. Now you just need to know that your family is fine and safe in our hands, and you will be fine and safe if you do as we do, that's all."
Zhou imperial doctor blushed: "Despicable! What's the difference between you and the prince and others?!"
The man chuckled twice and stood up, "Emperor Zhou is a smart man, he should know what to do, I don't want to repeat the threat again." After a pause, he added, "Emperor Zhou's family 'Now in the hands of the crown prince, you who are under coercion naturally want your 'master' to know your suffering."
Leaving those words behind, the man disappeared.
Only Imperial Physician Zhou was left alone, and the words just now lingered in his ears for a long time.
