Chapter 176 Can My Prince Still Be Saved?
Shangguan Tianxiao stood on the city gate tower, with red eyes, like a leopard that had lost its cubs, and glanced around with piercing eyes.
I am looking forward to the messenger coming back and saying that the eldest lady has been found.
He has been in the army for so many years and has encountered many near-death situations, but this is the first time he is so scared.
Having the ability and courage to steal his beloved daughter silently from the Zhenguo General's Mansion is simply a provocation and insult to him!
He has sent Guan Yu and his troops to search the city inch by inch. If there are suspicious persons, they will be arrested first for interrogation.
By the way, everyone on the list in the booklet left by Xiao Yunqing was arrested, and half of Nanyun's hidden stakes were picked.
Qu Xiaohan led part of his troops and chased them out from various city gates. When they saw suspicious carriages, sedan chairs and other places that could hide people, they immediately forcibly searched them.
Prince Xuan’s Mansion,
I regained my consciousness month by month and came back to report as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Dongming Ziyu's face instantly turned pale, and he held his chest and gasped violently.
Mo Wen was shocked: "No! Your Majesty has a heart attack. Doctor Xuan! Doctor Xuan!"
"Don't think about taking anyone to find..." Dongming Ziyu rolled his eyes and fainted.
Mo Xiang and Mo Wen looked at each other, flew out, ordered several groups of guards from Prince Xuan's Mansion and rushed out of Prince Xuan's Mansion to help find Shangguan Ruoli.
Soon, two imperial doctors came, as was customary.
An imperial physician was administering acupuncture to Dongming Ziyu. He complained and asked, "Your Majesty, your heart ailments are getting more and more frequent. You can't work too hard!"
Mo asked: "Isn't this Miss Shangguan missing? When the prince is anxious..."
The imperial doctor sighed and twisted the silver needle in his hand.
Mo Wen said with a solemn face: "Is there any way my prince can be saved?"
The imperial doctor said: "His heart disease has been present since he was a child. It is a congenital defect."
That means it's hopeless.
Another imperial doctor observed Dongming Ziyu's face, his eyes fell on his lips, and wondered: "Why is there a wound on the prince's lip? It seems to be bitten."
A strange color flashed across Mo Wen's eyes, and he sighed with a bitter look on his face: "When the prince had a heart attack two days ago, he bit it himself in order to stay awake."
The imperial doctor admired him: "Your Majesty is so tough!"
Mo Wen sighed softly and said: "Thanks to the Emperor's love for letting the Taiyuan Hospital do its best to recuperate, otherwise my prince would have long..."
As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeves.
The imperial doctor took out the silver needle from Dongming Ziyu's body and said with regret: "If it weren't for the emperor's decree that the king's congenital heart disease should not be spread out, we could have asked the witch doctor Zhazhaer to come and take a look.
It’s better to cure it, but it’s better to reduce the pain.”
Mo Wen sniffed and said: "My master is the eldest prince, then the prince, and now he is the God of War. Regardless of his status, he has a heart disease. If word spreads about his death at any time, the court will be turbulent and the country will be unstable. Besides,
, How can those crooked ways compare with the medical skills of an imperial physician?"
The imperial doctor was very impressed by the compliment and said: "King Xuan has been saved for the time being. He will probably wake up at noon tomorrow. Take good care of him."
"Thank you so much, doctor!" Mo Wen nodded and bowed, asking the housekeeper to send the two doctors out.
As soon as the imperial doctor's figure disappeared around the corner, Mo Wen closed the door.
At the same time, the rear window opened, and a black shadow flashed out and flew towards the outside of the house.
When the imperial doctor returned to the palace, he first reported Dongming Ziyu's condition to the emperor, looking very sorry.
After hearing this, the emperor sighed, waved his hand, and signaled the imperial doctor to leave.
The emperor was stunned while holding the ink pen, and a pool of bright red cinnabar fell on the fold, smearing like blood.
As if muttering to himself: "Yu'er can't have any heirs anyway, should I tell him about the heart-eating Gu?"
A prince without heirs is no threat to the throne. It is more useful to balance the power of the court alive than dead.
Eunuch Zheng seemed not to have heard anything. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, arching his waist and rubbing the cinnabar, as if he was stirring a pool of blood.
The emperor didn't ask him by name, so he pretended to be deaf and said that if he couldn't say anything, he would die.
The emperor sighed helplessly: "Forget it, let's look at the situation."
Now the power of King Xuan obviously exceeds that of the prince. If King Xuan is relieved of the fear of his life, he may not be willing to become King Xuan.
After all, heirs can be adopted from the royal family.
Moreover, after the death of the first empress and the destruction of the first empress's mother's family, King Xuan hated him as the emperor, otherwise he would not be so indifferent to him.
If King Xuan becomes powerful, there is no guarantee that he and the prince will not be retaliated for what happened back then.
"Little Zhengzi, am I too cruel?" Emperor Dongming continued to criticize Zhezi.
Eunuch Zheng said softly: "Your Majesty also wants to stabilize the country. Besides, the Heart-Eating Gu was not planted by you, the Emperor. Your Majesty has also investigated the matter of the Heart-Eating Gu and knows that it is extremely difficult to lure out the Heart-Eating Gu. It has been twenty years.
, the heart-eating Gu may have become one with the host. If it is introduced rashly, it may be even more dangerous."
Emperor Dongming nodded, deceiving himself and thinking that it wasn't because he was cruel, but because the Heart-Eating Gu couldn't be lured out.
However, it stands to reason that the heart-eating Gu should have killed Dongming Ziyu a long time ago, so why did he save the danger time and time again?
Is it possible that he knew that he was infected by the heart-eating poison and found a way to contain it?
"Your Majesty, the imperial censor wants to see you!" A young eunuch called outside the door.
Emperor Dongming frowned slightly, "Xuan!"
The imperial censor bowed in, knelt down and kowtowed: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Emperor Dongming put down his ink pen, raised his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The imperial censor held the fold with both hands and raised it to his head, saying: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching the general of the country, Shangguan Tianxiao, for bending the law for personal gain, using the imperial troops without permission to track down Shangguan Ruoli's whereabouts, and forcibly blocking the city gate, causing
The people are in panic, and thieves are taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes!"
Emperor Dongming narrowed his eyes, "This Shangguan Tianxiao is so bold and unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"
Shangguan Tianxiao is looking for his daughter. If he is rebelling, wouldn't it be very dangerous?!
Emperor Dongming's eyes became colder and colder. The opportunity came. Didn't Shangguan Tianxiao always want to relinquish military power?
…
When Xiao Fei heard that Shangguan Ruoli had been kidnapped, he was furious: "What's going on? I know what this dead girl is capable of. There are not many masters who can steal her quietly."
Wei Jingyang said: "Captain Bai asked the maids and guards of Mei Xiangyuan. When they smelled the strange fragrance, they fell unconscious for a moment. When they woke up, they could not remember anything, and the master of the pavilion was gone."
Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes and said: "This is the magic of ecstasy. It's either Zazar or someone from Nanyun."
Wei Jingyang said: "Gu Xuanting went to the post house, Beiling Mo Xue and Zha Zhaer went to the Ministry of Rites. Shangguan Tianxiao also went to check. They did discuss the agenda of marrying Princess Anping at the Ministry of Rites."
Xiao Fei sneered: "Just because they are in the Ministry of Etiquette, it doesn't mean they didn't do it!"
