Jiang Jing felt secretly happy, and then went to the Changsheng Palace with other ministers to wait for news.
Xuanyuan Hao was carried back to the Palace of Eternal Life. All the doctors from the imperial hospital were dispatched. After inspection, they discovered: "This arrow is indeed poisonous. Fortunately, the queen tied the emperor's arm. Otherwise, the poisonous blood would attack the emperor's heart." But there will be danger for life.”
Doctor Li had already given Xuanyuan Hao one of his detoxifying pills immediately. But then, because he had to pull out the arrow, and because the arrow was poisonous, he had to remove some of the flesh and blood from his arm. The process was so cruel that Xuanyuan Hao fainted from the pain.
Before he fainted, he was still thinking about the words of the imperial doctor. If it weren't for the queen, if the queen wasn't observant, he might have been in danger of his life.
The ministers were still waiting outside the Palace of Eternal Life, waiting for news. After Doctor Li cured Xuanyuan Hao's poison, Ning Yue also took some time to lead all the ministers to the side hall to rest, and asked people to serve tea and have a rest. The emperor's situation Before they stabilized, they would not leave even if they were allowed to leave. Not only were they nervous about the emperor's dragon body, but they were also afraid that Xuanyuan Hao would anger the courtiers when he woke up.
By this time, the next morning, the Grand Tutor gathered up his cloak and looked at Jiang Jing with a friendly look. This old man had given birth to a good daughter. If the Queen hadn't been careful, they and the ministers would have been so careful last night. He would have to stand in the Palace of Eternal Life all night, let alone having hot tea and a cloak.
Moreover, as early as an hour ago, the queen sent someone to bring food. Now they just didn't have a good rest last night, and they can survive even if they wait here for another day.
At this time, there was finally movement in the palace, and all the old ministers stood up, trying to hear clearly what was being said inside.
After a while, a eunuch came to the side hall to invite people, "My lords, the emperor has woken up. The queen has informed the emperor that all the lords have been waiting here all night.
The emperor has decreed that all the adults should go back to their homes to rest and temporarily suspend the court. If there are important matters, just hand them over. "
The Taifu and several ministers looked at each other, received the order and left the palace.
In the Changsheng Palace, after Xuanyuan Hao woke up, he felt extremely weak and had no feeling in his entire right arm, so he called the imperial doctor and asked about his condition.
"The emperor still has residual poison on his body. You won't have any feeling in your right arm for the time being. It will be fine once the residual poison is eliminated. However, it will take at least three months to fully recover from this injury. Please try not to use your right arm as much as possible." .”
Although it will take three months to fully recover, as long as he can recover, Xuanyuan Hao will be relieved. Never in any dynasty or generation has a disabled person become an emperor, not to mention that he injured his right hand. , if he really cannot recover, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will probably have to abdicate him immediately and make way for others.
After the imperial doctor retired, Ning Yue waited on the emperor to wash and eat.
It is said that the queen is serving, but Ning Yue is just standing there, instructing the palace people to do this and that. Although she does not do it herself, she is very careful. Every time the palace maid does something, she will whisper: "Wipe the emperor." When touching the face, the movements must be gentle, so as not to pull the emperor's wounds."
"How can the emperor eat comfortably while lying like this? Qin Xin went to get the soft cushion that I ordered someone to make overnight. Mr. Chai, you are a strong man. Be careful and half-hug the emperor and lean on the soft cushion. The emperor lies down I must have been feeling uncomfortable all night, so I’ll sit up halfway and change my position.”
Chai Liang was excited.
Logically speaking, the emperor was injured like this, so what could he be excited about?
But since he became an eunuch, this is the first time someone has inadvertently said that he is a man in front of him!
Therefore, he was commanded by the Queen willingly and without any hesitation.
"Manager Chai, you must be careful and don't hurt the emperor."
Chai Liang responded repeatedly, his movements became more and more careful, he held the emperor and half leaned on the soft cushion. At this time, the palace maid stepped forward and fed the emperor bit by bit. After the emperor finished eating, Chai Liang helped the emperor lie down again. , covered with a thin quilt.
"Your Majesty, are you still sleepy now?" Ning Yue asked.
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head, and Ning Yue said: "Then I will read to the emperor? What books do you like to read? I will order them to be fetched."
"Just grab a copy."
Xuanyuan Hao thought that the queen would instruct one of her servants to read to him, but he didn't expect that this time she came in person.
And as soon as she opened her mouth, Xuanyuan Hao was stunned. To describe a pleasant voice, she often used the word "like an oriole, full of joy", but Ning Yue's voice was not like this. Those verses came out of her mouth like a trickle, flowing through it. Crossing the mountains and forests, swimming across the grass, flipping and jumping, his breathing became softer and his mood became extremely calm.
Slowly, accompanied by this beautiful voice, Xuanyuan Hao actually fell asleep.
Outside the palace.
The scientific examination will start in a few days, and all the inns in Beijing are full of students rushing to take the exam. The city is very lively. Jiang Chengxi and several classmates made an appointment to have a party at the best restaurant in Beijing.
He took the boys there on time, but when he was passing by Yihong Building, he happened to see a man fall from the building. Then there was chaos in Yihong Building. Seven or eight boys ran out from the building, hugging the man on the ground and shouting The young master woke up, and then a lot of people ran out of Yihong Building. Some went to call the doctor, some shouted to catch the murderer, and some went to report to the official.
After all, Jiang Chengxi is also the third son of the Zhenguo family, and he is quite familiar with these young masters in the capital. The man who fell from the upstairs is named Yuan, the second son of the Chengenhou family, Yuan Li, who is also the Queen Mother's mother-in-law, Xuanyuan Hao. cousin.
The person surrounded by the Yuan family's servants was Bai Jingrong, the only son of Nanwei General Bai Yi, and Bai Jingrong was Concubine Shu's biological brother.
These two were both playboys, equally lustful and ignorant. Unexpectedly, they would fight together today. Jiang Chengxi took one look at them and went to the restaurant. Both of these two families were well-known figures in the capital. In the end, they would be... Just take something to apologize and that's it.
Things were exactly as Jiang Chengxi imagined. Bai Jingrong and Yuan Li had a fight over a prostitute in Yihong Building. Bai Jingrong accidentally pushed Yuan Li down from Yihong Building. Fortunately, it was only the second floor, and Yuan Li's injuries were not serious. It's too heavy, and it will be fine after just a few days.
But what he didn't expect was that he saw Yuan Li at the entrance of an alley the next day. It was already getting dark. Yuan Li was carried by his servants into the carriage. The carriage left quickly, and they The group of people walked in a hurry and did not see Jiang Chengxi and his boy.
I heard that Yuan Li was seriously injured. Why did he run away from home? Thinking of what happened yesterday, Jiang Chengxi hurriedly walked into the alley.
