115. Chapter 115
The prince suddenly suffered from a strange disease and returned to the capital without stopping.
Because Emperor Xuande ordered in advance, the people in the capital only knew that the prince was sick and did not know the specifics, and Queen Chen was no exception.
The lifeblood was in trouble, and Queen Chen couldn't sleep or eat. As soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, she hurried to the East Palace. Following Eunuch Quan, she saw Emperor Xuande sitting on the prince's couch, kneeling on her little son on the left, and on the right were envoys of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Wang and Doctor Li. The four of them were all lowering their heads, and no one looked at her.
At this time, Queen Chen didn't think so much. She rushed to the couch and saw that there was no blood on the prince's face. Tears immediately fell down. She looked at Emperor Xuande crying, "Emperor, what disease did Hengrui have? Why did he fall into a coma for so long and haven't woken up?"
She was really worried, and tears came one after another, but Emperor Xuande was both disgusted and hated!
This is the good queen who has always been smart and sensible in his eyes, but what did she do? She was not simply disliked the King of Qin, but she had wanted to poison him and kill him! She was so poor that her two sons fought for a woman, making the royal family a laughing stock for the world. Now the poison and medicine that flowed out of her hands hurt the prince, and she actually asked him why?
Emperor Xuande ruthlessly pushed away Queen Chen and grabbed his hand as if he was dependent, pointed at the three imperial physicians and said coldly: "They said that the prince is the same as the previous King of Qin, and he has no cure for his strange disease. What should the queen think?"
Queen Chen's face turned pale immediately!
Because of extreme shock and panic.
That year, Xiao Yuan was "infected" because she ordered her youngest son to find an opportunity at a palace banquet to poison Xiao Yuan's diet. She ordered people to find colorless, tasteless and undesirable poison that she ordered from the Western Regions, because the blood of the poisoned person would not change color, and there would be no symptoms of poison except to sleep. She bought the imperial physician and told them not to go to the emperor when he asked. If the poison was induced, he could hide the truth.
And then, she still has one, and the youngest son should have left over. After Xiao Yuan fell into a coma, she told the youngest son to deal with the remaining ones so as not to leave evidence. Didn’t he listen to her?
Regarding the safety of the prince, Queen Chen no longer had her usual calmness and couldn't help but turn to Xiao Yi, but when she just turned her head and just caught a glimpse of her younger son's clothes, Queen Chen immediately realized something was wrong and changed to looking at Emperor Xuande, "Why is this happening? How could she get infected with that disease?"
Emperor Xuande looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly laughed, and threw it hard with a slap!
Queen Chen was weak and was slapped to the ground.
"My Mother!" Xiao Yi crawled in front of Queen Chen with his knees. Seeing her face swollen and blood on the corners of her mouth, he suppressed her temper again for a few days. He turned and scolded Emperor Xuande, "Father, do you have to prove my innocence by death. You believe that the poison is not mine? My second brother and I are brothers. No matter how much I blame him, I will not take his life! It would be fine if the father doubted me, why should he beat the Queen? Could it be that the father suspected that the Queen of the Mother instructed his son to harm another son?"
"Of course she won't harm you!" Emperor Xuande growled with red eyes, "But she instructed you to harm your elder brother. Now you are despicable and want to harm your second brother who is devastated and wants to destroy your marriage. I know this in my heart, and she knows it even more, so she also believes that it is the poison you have, you are a beast that is worse than a pig or a dog!"
Queen Chen's eyes made Emperor Xuande completely determine the truth after the two cases. The youngest son dared to accuse him. Emperor Xuande was furious and kicked Xiao Yi.
"Emperor!" Queen Chen, who was protected by Xiao Yi, suddenly rushed to Xiao Yi and was furiously kicked by the man with his body.
Seeing Queen Chen spitting out a mouthful of blood, Emperor Xuande was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help leaning forward to help her, but he stopped in time.
Queen Chen is not Xiao Yi. She didn't know that the youngest son was instigated by someone to steal the bride. Maybe he had suspected it, but the two sons were kept in lockdown and went to Jingshan as soon as they came out. She had no chance to verify it. She was not Xiao Yi. She didn't know that Xiao Yi really didn't poison it, so she decided that only she and her younger son had the Queen Chen, who really believed in Emperor Xuande's words.
Her two sons killed each other, and the poison was given by the younger son.
She felt both painful and hated, and she probably couldn't wake up again, and she wanted to peel off her younger son, but both of them were her sons. In the case of a very likely loss of the prince, she had to keep her younger son.
Emperor Xuande thought so, didn’t he?
Since he knew it was his younger son who still chose to hide it from everyone, the younger son now honestly admits it, at least he doesn't have to continue to anger him because he refuses to admit it.
"Emperor, I am confused, Yi'er is confused, I all recognize it..." Empress Chen pushed her youngest son away, cried and cried, and kowtowed to him continuously, "Emperor, I know my mistake, I am willing to receive the punishment. No matter how the emperor punished me, I have no complaints, I just want the emperor to save the prince, you raised him personally!"
Emperor Xuande heard what was meant by this, and suddenly felt panicked in his heart. He looked down at the woman under his feet, "You, do you have no antidote?"
Queen Chen shook her head crying and was already crying.
She regretted it, really regretted it. If she had known that it would be today, she would never have poisoned Xiao Yuan.
Emperor Xuande shook his body for a moment. Eunuch Quan wanted to come up to help him, but he reached out to stop him. His ruthless eyes turned to the three imperial physicians who had deceived the emperor. As early as when the three of them united to say that the prince was sick and he searched the youngest son, Emperor Xuande knew that they were all Queen Chen's people.
"As you said, the prince still has one month at most?" Emperor Xuande took a deep breath and asked calmly.
But this sentence made the three imperial physicians feel colder than any reprimand. The three of them dared not hide it anymore and nodded tremblingly.
Emperor Xuande sat on the prince's couch, stared at the crown prince he had personally selected for a cup of tea, and then said coldly: "Then I will give you ten days to cure the prince in ten days. I will only punish you three for exiles to the frontier. Ten days later, the prince still has not improved. I not only want your head, but also want the nine tribes to exile!"
What else can the three imperial physicians do besides kowtowing and receiving orders?
Emperor Xuande ordered Xiao Yi to go back to the Heng Palace to kneel until the crown prince woke up, and then he left with a calm face.
Queen Chen looked at her youngest son, covered her kicked belly and chased her out, "Emperor, Prince Xuan Qin will enter the palace. Since he can wake up, he will definitely have a way to save the prince!"
Emperor Xuande turned around, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "There is no cure poison, the imperial physicians have no intention of treating him. He was in a coma for more than a month before he woke up. He was so lucky that he saved his life. Do you think he would have any life-saving methods? By the way, when you proposed to me to cheer him up, he did wake up on the day of the wedding. Why don't you choose a woman from the Shen family to marry the prince?"
Queen Chen doesn't care about anything now. As long as she can save her son, she doesn't care no matter how Emperor Xuande mocks her.
"Emperor, the King of Qin has no choice, so you can transfer the people he serves to the prince to serve? Maybe they will do it as they did when they served the King of Qin?" Queen Chen knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Xuande with tears in his eyes, "Emperor, that's our Hengrui. Do you have the heart to do it but don't save him?"
Of course, Emperor Xuande was looking forward to the prince waking up, and glanced at Queen Chen and ordered his father-in-law Quan to go to Qin and the prince's mansion to lead people.
Eunuch Quan went to the Qin Palace in a hurry.
Ge Jin came out to greet him. Before Eunuch Quan could speak, he cried and said sadly: "Eunuch Quan is not healed. Your Highness fainted as soon as he returned to the royal palace. The doctor in the mansion said that his internal injuries had not healed and his heart was in a state of anger and fire. He actually lost his vitality. I was about to ask the imperial physician to come and treat His Highness..."
Eunuch Quan was shocked and rushed to Xiao Yuan's bedroom. Sure enough, he saw His Highness the King of Qin lying on the bed with a gray face, his expression worse than the prince! The only concubine in the royal palace stood beside him, and it seemed that she could serve him carefully.
There was no one in the mansion who could make the decision. The Qin King was so sick, so Eunuch Quan did not take the eunuch Ge Jin who took him away and quickly returned to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions.
After hearing this, Emperor Xuande was silent for a while.
He knew better than anyone else why the eldest son was angry. He didn't blame him if he didn't say anything, but he must have blamed him for favoring Queen Chen and the other two.
"Take two eunuchs and ask Ge Jin to teach them how to deal with the disease."
In the end, he still couldn't do anything to snatch his eunuch when his eldest son was critically ill. Seeing that Eunuch Quan was about to leave, Emperor Xuande said again: "Don't forget to take the imperial physician to treat the King of Qin."
Eunuch Quan received the order and went to the Qin royal palace again.
The two imperial physicians took Xiao Yuan's pulse first, and both looked solemn, saying that the Qin King's condition would not endanger his life, but it was extremely difficult to adjust.
After seeing the disease, Eunuch Quan called Ge Jin outside and asked him to give instructions to the two little eunuchs.
Ge Jin turned his face blank and knelt down, "Grandpa Quan spared me. When His Highness was unconscious, he served me exactly as usual. My Highness relied on his own life to support me... No, it was all thanks to the emperor's marriage, it had nothing to do with me. Now I have given them guidance. It would be best if the crown prince has recovered. If... I would like to ask Eunuch Quan to spare my life!"
This is reasonable, but Eunuch Quan has to go back and report his case. It is impossible to agree to him. Naturally, he would be relieved and comforted, so that Ge Jin would not have to think too much.
Ge Jin didn't believe it and refused to speak out.
The two were in a stalemate, and Xiao Yuan woke up inside.
Eunuch Quan hurried in to pay tribute and then gave the emperor's oral order.
Xiao Yuan smiled weakly and stared at Eunuch Quan and said, "I would like to tell my father a word for me, and I said that I was a great man. I was killed by a strange disease. Now I am cautious in every step and dare not take the charge of instigating the eunuchs around me to teach fake ways to save people. If the father insists on taking care of the prince, then give me a pot of poison and wine to me, so that I can die happily, and there is no need to be so roundabout."
Eunuch Quan was sweating on his forehead, "This..."
