faint [rebirth]

Chapter 15

The news that the prince was seriously ill and had a persistent high fever quickly spread inside and outside the palace.

The East Palace was busy early on, and it was too chaotic. After all, Eunuch Ruan was in charge of the East Palace. Although everyone was busy, they were quite orderly.

What's the use of order alone?Eunuch Ruan looked at Xiao Wuchen who had a high fever on the bed, and hated why he would kneel and sit on the side of the bed, staring at the prince without blinking when he didn't want to let someone stay on duty at night?

Ah Yao, Ah Ya and the others even took over Xiao Wuchen's personal work, and they would never let others take advantage of it.

As for the imperial physicians staying at the Imperial Hospital today, Ah Zhuang had already invited all the imperial physicians outside the palace, and he also ordered Tete to invite them.

It's just that these imperial doctors came here, and they made a serious diagnosis, but what they can do is limited to this.

"Eunuch Ruan also knows that the prince's body has always been inferior to ordinary people. If ordinary people are sick, we dare to prescribe some more serious medicine to make the patient's fever go away early. But the prince's body is not as good as others , how dare we wait for those medicines for tigers and wolves? It is just to use some mild medicines, and wait for the prince's high fever to gradually subside..."

Just as the imperial physician was speaking, Emperor Chengguang strode in from outside.

Everyone knelt down to ask for peace.

Emperor Chengguang walked directly to the inner room, seeing Xiao Wuchen's handsome face flushed, his brows furrowed, and his mouth saying something from time to time, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Doctor Zhang," Emperor Chengguang's voice was clearly not high, but the anger in his tone could not be suppressed no matter what, "I just want to ask you, what kind of disease does the crown prince have? What kind of medicine should I take to wake up? to wake up?"

Doctor Zhang led a group of other doctors to kneel down again, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, if it is about illness, the prince is just suffering from wind and evil. After all, the queen just passed away. , but in the end it is the shady air that prevails, and the prince walked in the snow yesterday, the wind blew, he was thinking too much, he was exhausted, and he suddenly fell ill..."

Emperor Chengguang only sullenly said, "And then?"

Grand Physician Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Then, it's the matter of diagnosis and treatment. Just now, Weichen has pricked the ten Xuan acupoints with silver needles to let blood, trying to reduce the high fever and coma of the prince. It's just that Weichen has been treating the prince for more than ten years, and this method has also been used. Many times, it was effective in the past, it really could lower the prince's body temperature, but this time, although it was equally effective, but only after a little while, the prince's high fever returned... As for the medicine, the prince is actually vomiting now, so After swallowing the medicine, all of them vomited out again."

Doctor Zhang has also taken care of Xiao Wuchen for more than ten years, and he has feelings for Xiao Wuchen. He knelt deeply and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the wealth and life of my ministers are tied to the crown prince. If there is any way to save the prince, I will never shirk it! It’s just that the prince is really weak, and the medicine for tigers and wolves, unless it is unavoidable, I don’t dare to use it indiscriminately. Please give me time, and give your highness time, so that I can have more time. A chance to save His Highness."

Emperor Chengguang took a deep look at Grand Physician Zhang, and saw that Physician Zhang had gray hair, many wrinkles on his face, and although his eyes were cloudy, they were clear and upright.He was silent for a moment, and then said: "You remember what you said." Then he sat on the side of the bed, took the medicine bowl from Ah Ya's hand, and went to feed Xiao Wuchen who was still in a coma.

All the imperial physicians got up after worshiping again, and then went outside to study the prince's condition.

Ah Yao blinked, followed behind all the imperial physicians, and walked outside together.

And Xiao Junye stood in the inner room, looking at Xiao Wuchen on the hospital bed, his face was livid.

He had known for a long time that Xiao Wuchen's body was not good, but he never expected that Xiao Wuchen's body would be in such a bad shape. He just walked in the snow with him for a cup of tea, and he would be sick when he turned back. Be like this.

If it wasn't for his extravagant desire to walk side by side with Xiao Wuchen, then yesterday Xiao Wuchen would have returned normally sitting on the shoulders of the windshield, so how could he suddenly have a high fever?

Xiao Junye clenched his fists tightly and refused to leave.

It was Eunuch Ruan who saw Xiao Junye's self-reproach, walked slowly to Xiao Junye's side, and said, "Did King Zhao misunderstand something? The illness of His Royal Highness is indeed related to yesterday's wind blowing, but in the final analysis, it is still the prince's poor health." relationship. The crown prince never blamed you, so why bother to blame yourself?"

Xiao Junye was startled: "He has woken up?" Didn't it mean that Xiao Wuchen had a high fever and fell into a coma?

Eunuch Ruan sighed: "Your Highness has never been sober, it's just that the slave just leaned close to His Highness. Hearing that His Highness is sick to the point of confusion, he still whispered the word "Uncle Huang." He paused, and then said, " The lord knows that His Highness has never been willing to call other lords so intimately, and will only call you lord like this, so if this slave thinks about it, His Highness must not mean to blame the lord. Please don't blame yourself, too."

What Eunuch Ruan said was actually on the one hand what he had in mind, and on the other hand, since the crown prince is already sick, it shouldn't be too cheap.He is old and mature, and he saw early on that the prince wanted to win over King Zhao. If so, he should help the prince well, so that King Zhao can continue to help the prince well.

What's more, what he said is true, and the crown prince indeed called "Uncle Huang" when he was ill.Why is he so guilty?

Xiao Junye didn't expect the real meaning of Eunuch Ruan's action at all. When he heard Eunuch Ruan say that Xiao Wuchen was still calling him when he was sick, he already started to feel hot all over his body - as if he himself was also sick.

Dust free, dust free.

Xiao Junye called Xiao Wuchen's name over and over again in his heart, and his heart felt hot and hot.

However, after the fire and heat passed, his reason returned.

When he took the first step into the main hall of the East Palace, he knew that even though Xiao Wuchen was so sick, he could not have any intimate actions towards Xiao Wuchen in front of everyone.Originally, the fact that he started to support Xiao Wuchen aroused the suspicion of the emperor, and he couldn't do more things to arouse the suspicion of his imperial brother.

Moreover, he is not an imperial doctor, and I am afraid that after a while, the Holy Majesty will remember him and start to drive him away.

Rather than letting the Holy Master drive him away, it would be better for him to go by himself.It's best to wait until Wu Chen wakes up, the dispute about his filial piety has been successfully concluded.

Xiao Junye thought so in his heart, looked at Xiao Wuchen for a while, and knew that he could not leave, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, outside the government office of Luoyang City, there are still those people who are complaining for the prince... "

Emperor Chengguang was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered those people and their importance.

Emperor Chengguang narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Xiao Wuchen on the bed. Although he didn't want to admit it, Wuchen's illness this time came at a very good time.

Originally, those old people pleaded for Xiao Wuchen and attracted the rest of the people to follow. Under such circumstances, because of his selfishness towards Xiao Wuchen, Emperor Chengguang forcibly resorted to tricks and pulled Xiao Wuchen away from the suspicion of "unfilial piety". When it comes to "Zhixiao", it's not impossible.It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that there is a sense of relying on imperial power to force people.

But now that Xiao Wuchen is sick, let everyone know that the Queen's order is completely for Xiao Wuchen's body—look, now Xiao Wuchen cherishes his body and keeps his filial piety according to the Queen's order, and he can become sick like this. If he really followed the filial piety Keeping the filial piety according to the rules, then after finishing the filial piety for the queen, will Xiao Wuchen still have a life?Even if he is still alive, his body must have been ruined. How can he be healthy?

Moreover, Xiao Wuchen is not an ordinary prince, but a crown prince.Those who pretended to abide by the rules of the ancestors to make the weak prince obey the rules, did they really have no intention of murdering the prince?

In this way, Xiao Wuchen's reputation can not only be preserved, but also improved to a higher level.

But now, the person who can wholeheartedly plan for Xiao Wuchen's reputation... Emperor Chengguang took a look at Xiao Junye, and sighed: "Tell those people, I have never blamed the prince. His body is hair and skin, and his parents dare not hurt him." This is originally filial piety. The prince is weak, and if he keeps his filial piety like ordinary people, his body will only become weaker. If the prince violates the queen's order and risks his body being more difficult to keep his filial piety, I will be angry. Now the prince is working hard to protect himself I am very relieved to try my best to uphold filial piety."

Xiao Junye quickly understood what Emperor Chengguang meant, and said: "The prince is filial, it's just that some people misunderstood the prince. Fortunately, the sage is wise, and the common people have the wisdom of the common people. Only in this way can the prince be redressed." Then he retreated. One step, said, "In this way, I will take a step ahead and go to comfort the people who are worried about the prince on behalf of the sage and the prince."

Xiao Junye finished speaking, waited for a while, and was about to back away and leave.

Emperor Chengguang suddenly said: "Brother Ye."

Xiao Junye paused, waiting for Emperor Chengguang to finish speaking.

As a result, Emperor Chengguang looked at him for a while, sighed, waved his hands and said, "Go."

Xiao Junye didn't understand why, so he bowed his head and left.

After walking far, he left the palace.Xiao Junye looked back at the square palace walls and the square Luoyang City, and suddenly understood what Emperor Chengguang was going to say just now - he was deliberately left in Luoyang City by Emperor Chengguang without actually obtaining the fief King Zhao, but now he is willing to help Emperor Chengguang protect the prince.Emperor Chengguang was thanking him.

Xiao Junye raised his lips slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

In fact, why should I thank him?

East Palace.

The prince's sleeping hall is busy, no one can get close to it, but in the side hall, Huan'er is holding the eighth princess and talking.

The eighth princess wanted to break free from Huan'er, but she couldn't.

"My good princess, you have already visited the prince once. The prince has a high fever and the sage is upset. You are going. Don't you want to disturb the sage and make the sage dislike you?" Huan'er persuaded , "You can play in the room well, wait until His Highness is ready, or the Holy Majesty has left, and this servant will take you to see His Highness, okay?"

Only then did the eighth princess lower her head and say hello.

Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the eighth princess was really pitiful, she had to squat down again and said, "Princess, is she hungry? May I go to the kitchen and get you some snacks?"

Therefore, Huan'er ordered the rest of the maids to play with the eighth princess, while she went to the kitchen, thinking that if the kitchen was busy, she would make some snacks for the eighth princess.

Thinking of this, Huan'er went to the kitchen of the East Palace.

The kitchen in the East Palace is in a separate courtyard. Huan'er was thinking about something, but she didn't notice for a moment. When she passed the Moon Gate, she bumped into someone head-on.

Just as Huan'er was about to scold, she saw that the man was a little eunuch, who lowered his head and slapped her a thousand times, then turned around and ran away.
