Chapter 17 Smallpox

"Your Highness, the eighth princess, the eighth princess, she is poisoned!"

Xiao Wuchen was startled, raised his hand and was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed.

Xiao Junye has always been indifferent to outsiders. Although the eighth princess is his niece in terms of "blood relationship", this does not make him attach importance to the eighth princess.

"Don't worry." Xiao Junye stopped Xiao Wuchen's movement, turned to look at the palace maid Huan'er indifferently, and asked, "Are you the maid of the eighth princess? Tell me about the poisoning of the eighth princess. The eighth princess should have golden branches and jade leaves. The imperial physician has already diagnosed and treated it, and since the imperial physician has diagnosed and treated it, then, what did the imperial physician say? Did he prescribe a prescription? Why did he come to disturb the prince like this when the prince was seriously ill? Or is it that the prince just woke up, and you I have already got the news from other places, so I came here to work for the prince when the eighth princess was still ill, so he was running around?"

Huan'er was sweating profusely when she was asked, she knelt down on the ground immediately, and said: "His Royal Highness, this servant is the maidservant of the eighth princess. The eighth princess has always liked the prince, because the prince has been ill for the past two days. It was time for the eighth princess to move out of the East Palace, so she was always mentally weak and occasionally had diarrhea. Although the maid thought it was just because the eighth princess missed the prince too much, she also invited the imperial doctor. The first diagnosis of the eighth princess was that the eighth princess was young and weak , caused by drinking cold wind, take some medicine, eat something easy to digest these few days, and it will be fine in two days.

However, who would have expected that the eighth princess would suddenly wake up from her dream at Maoshi this morning, and then she would start to vomit, sweat profusely, and twitch all over her body. It was only then that the eighth princess was diagnosed and treated as a result of taking a unique poisonous mushroom in Sichuan.Doctor Zhang is not incapable of prescribing prescriptions, but the eighth princess is young, so there are many medicinal materials that cannot be eaten. Now the eighth princess is more than half empty due to vomiting and diarrhea. It’s helpless if you can’t absorb the medicinal properties…”

Huan'er couldn't help crying and said: "The poison of this kind of poisonous mushroom is for healthy adults. Maybe after a while of illness, they can recover their health after lying on the bed for a few days. At most, they will leave some Slight heart disease, as long as you do less heavy work and less anger. But the eighth princess is only three or four years old. How can she be able to endure such pain? She hasn't taken the medicine yet. , people already..."

Huaner burst into tears.

Xiao Wuchen's pupils shrank suddenly.

Poisonous mushrooms?

Oh, what a poisonous mushroom!In his previous life, he was made worse and worse by such things. When he was reborn, he first allowed Concubine Shen to be grounded, and then fell ill. can not do.

When he was in a coma, he also thought in his heart whether those people would attack him while he was unconscious, but he vaguely heard that his father and uncle were taking over to guard him, and that the food and medicine brought by outsiders had to go through the imperial physician's supervision. Test and triple test, so don't worry about it anymore.

In addition, Xiao Wuchen clearly remembered that something would happen to him in the previous life. In fact, apart from the insidiousness and cunning of those people, it was at that time that the empress died suddenly, he suddenly lost his mother, and he was facing the charge of "unfilial piety". He didn't return, and due to several reasons, he fell in love with the unfortunate one.

But now, although he was ill, but with his father and uncle by his side, no one dared to do anything easily.

Xiao Wuchen was instantly annoyed, since he couldn't do anything to him, did he take the initiative to do it to Hachiko who lives in his palace?Because of his father, he wanted to temporarily leave face to other bloodlines of his father, so he never did it.But now, what is waiting for him?He forbeared for the time being, but those people had no intention of forbearance at all!

Xiao Wuchen sat up straight suddenly, opening his mouth to get angry.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Junye got angry before him, and said: "An adult with a strong body? The poisonous mushrooms entered the mouth of the eighth princess through the dishes in the kitchen? And those dishes came out of the prince's order? Those If someone wants to harm someone, is it really the eighth princess, not the crown prince? Murdering the crown prince is a crime!" Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Wuchen, "Your Highness, no one from the East Palace kitchen can be kept!"

Huan'er and Ah Yao were stunned at the same time.It was because of King Zhao’s sudden anger, and because of King Zhao’s words, he was already deceiving the king—the prince was not angry yet, but King Zhao retaliated in advance, and made a decision for the prince—to get rid of everything in Donggong Cai’s kitchen. people.

Xiao Wuchen was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "That's right, this matter did not start because of the Eighth Emperor Sister, but because of loneliness. Since those people want to murder the prince, this matter must be completely Check!" Then he took Xiao Junye's hand, and said with great trust, "Gu is now down and unwell, so it's not suitable to be a director. Why don't the emperor find the murderer for Gu? No matter who the emperor finds out, Gu will Completely trust the emperor."

Huan'er and Ah Yao were dumbfounded on the ground.If the prince needs to find the murderer because of him, no matter who the prince asks to find the murderer, it is not surprising.But the crown prince chose King Zhao—that was King Zhao, the only son of Daxing Tai and the emperor's younger brother. Mingming Tai and the emperor had already said in the will after losing the news of the younger brother. The younger brother or the orphan of the younger brother will be canonized as King Zhao, and the land will be in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

The first emperor spent decades but failed to find it, and once again asked Chengguang Emperor to continue searching in his will.

But by a coincidence, Emperor Chengguang really found King Zhao, the descendant of his ancestor's younger brother.It's just that Emperor Chengguang did make him King Zhao and gave him the fiefdom of Jiangnan. However, King Zhao has never been married since he was nineteen this year, and Emperor Chengguang never mentioned that he would marry King Zhao. It was sent to the Jiangnan fief, and Emperor Chengguang never handed over the taxes of the Jiangnan land to Xiao Junye.

And the other enfeoffed kings, such as the brother and grandson of Emperor Chengguang, all went to the fiefdom to be the emperor after they got married, and only Xiao Junye was trapped in Luoyang City.

King Zhao was treated so harshly by Emperor Chengguang, and he was always indifferent on weekdays. He refused to make friends with his courtiers and members of the royal family. How could the prince trust him so much?

What if King Zhao deliberately made things difficult for the prince because of Emperor Chengguang?

It's a pity that what A Yao and Huan'er think in their hearts is completely unimportant to Xiao Junye.He didn't care what the two of them thought at all.He just couldn't help his heart beat a little faster when he heard Xiao Wuchen's trusting words.

He loves this boy so much.

Even if the boy is completely unaware of this matter.

Xiao Junye tried his best to suppress the thoughts in his heart, nodded his head, and had to get up and leave before showing more lies: "In this case, then, the emperor will help you solve this matter, no... Xiaochen, be good Get well here."

Xiao Wuchen stared at Xiao Junye seriously with a pair of peach blossom eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Huang will help me find out those slaves who betrayed the master, and then let people stare at the Eighth Emperor Sister, I must see the imperial doctor give them to me." It’s good to be rescued. Also, Ah Yao, go and call Eunuch Ruan, since the emperor’s uncle works in the East Palace, it’s more convenient to have Eunuch Ruan by his side.”

Xiao Junye looked at the peach blossom eyes that seemed to be affectionate but also seemed to be ruthless, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and then said: "Minister, take orders."

Soon only Xiao Wuchen, Ah Ya, and Ah Yao were left in the bedroom.

Dumb can't speak, and he thinks simple.Seeing that Xiao Wuchen found a person who is good at doing things for him, he was happy for Xiao Wuchen, and at the same time began to gesture to Xiao Wuchen: "Your Highness, everyone in the kitchen has been arrested, why don't I do it for you?" Rice? By the way, there is also Eighth Princess, shall I cook her rice too?"

Xiao Wuchen was still in a bad mood at first, but seeing Ah Ya's lively and bright appearance, he felt a little better - in the previous life, Ah Ya was the only person who accompanied him to the end.Perhaps it was because Ah Ya was born unable to speak that he was not intentionally killed.And Ah Yao, Ah Zhuang, and Ah Chou either died to protect him, or were intentionally killed.

And although Aya accompanied him to the end, it was not a happy ending.Although the mother and son did not dare to torture him, they were extremely rude to Ah Du.

Xiao Wuchen's heart twitched when he thought of the time when Ah Du was tortured in front of him, so painful that he didn't even have the ability to shout.

"Your Highness?" Ah Yao whispered, "You take a rest first, the servant is here to watch over you, Ah Ya will first find someone to invite Doctor Zhang to come, and then he will make you some simple food."

Xiao Wuchen looked at Ah Yao, lost his mind for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "Okay, I will listen to Ah Yao."

Ah Yao's face turned red immediately, coughed, and then turned to tell Ah Ya to do something.

Xiao Wuchen lay back on the bed again, but his gaze gradually became gloomy.

Speaking of which, in the past life, he owed the uncle, the eighth princess, and a few close people around him. He always had the opportunity to repay it, and he is now working hard to return it; however, he has not done anything to those who owed him in the previous life. .

Xiao Wuchen thought slowly, perhaps it was time for him to do something.After all, although the emperor's uncle has always been powerful and is a master at handling such matters, Shen has always been cautious in dealing with things. In his previous life, even if he wanted to kill him, he had to turn around at least three times before finally succeeding.

But this time, the father happened to be in the imperial city. No matter whether the Shen family originally planned to harm him, or the eighth princess was really the one who planned to "warn" him by disposing of the eighth princess, the Shen family would not hands on.

In this case, no matter how powerful the emperor's uncle is, he can only find out the person who did it and the people behind him. Going deeper, even if the emperor's uncle wants to investigate and can investigate, after all, it is a matter of the palace, and the emperor's uncle can't continue. Check it out.

However, the fact that Uncle Huang couldn't check didn't mean that Xiao Wuchen didn't know who that person was, or that Xiao Wuchen couldn't deal with the person who was going to deal with him in the first place.

If he remembered correctly, in a few days, Wei Yanghou's youngest daughter would be found to have smallpox.

Xiao Wuchen thought that his aunt had been grounded for enough time, and it was time to let her out.

Of course, maybe only the little cousin is not enough, he has to find something else to ensure that the eighth brother whom he loved so much and canonized as the emperor's younger brother really got smallpox.
