The Eighth Prince's fever did not subside for a long time. Instead, his fever got hotter and hotter. If this continues, even if he wakes up in two days, he will be burned into a fool.
The imperial doctor tried various methods but could not reduce the fever of the eighth prince. Finally, Zhao Yao came up with a way to wipe his body with strong liquor.
A few months ago, Zhao Yao had recurring fevers, and one fever was particularly severe. At that time, Dr. Lu said that if Zhao Yao did not reduce his fever, he might not be able to survive. Liang Zhaoyi thought of a traditional method from her hometown, which was to wipe her body with strong liquor to reduce the fever. Sure enough, it worked, and Zhao Yao's fever subsided.
Yu Hai and Zhao Yao wiped the Eighth Prince's body with liquor together, carefully wiping the creaks, popliteal fossa, and soles of the feet. Not long after wiping, the high fever on the Eighth Prince's body finally subsided.
Seeing that the high fever had subsided temporarily, the imperial physician hurriedly prescribed medicine.
After the Eighth Prince drank the medicine, the high fever in his body finally subsided completely and did not relapse.
The imperial doctor said that the high fever had subsided, which meant that the Eighth Prince's life was not in danger. Next, the Eighth Prince only needs to take a good rest and his body will recover little by little.
Knowing that the eighth prince was out of danger, both the prince and Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
The day before the death anniversary of the late Queen, the Eighth Prince finally woke up after being in a coma for three days and three nights. However, his body was too weak and he passed out not long after he woke up.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince was awake, Zhao Yao could finally feel relieved and immediately had an appetite to eat the vegetarian food from Hulong Temple.
Because tomorrow is the death anniversary of the late empress, the fourth prince and the third prince came to Hulong Temple one night early. However, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not come to Hulong Temple in advance because he was busy with something.
At this moment, Zhao Yao was sitting with the fourth prince having dinner.
The vegetarian dishes at Huryong Temple taste very good, especially the pickled radish, which is crisp and delicious, very appetizing, and goes well with rice. Zhao Yao would eat pickled radish alone without eating, and he could eat several bowls of it.
While eating, Zhao Yao introduced the vegetarian dishes of Hulong Temple to the fourth prince.
The originally delicious vegetarian dishes became even more delicious with Zhao Yao's praise. The fourth prince, who usually only ate two bowls of rice, unexpectedly ate an extra bowl of rice.
The fourth prince has very high demands on himself. At each meal, he has calculated how many dishes and bowls of rice he will eat, and he will never eat more. No matter how delicious the food is, he will never be greedy and eat too much.
Today, he ate an extra bowl of rice and broke the rules set by the fourth prince, which made him regret it very much. So, he now took Zhao Yao for a walk in Hulong Temple to eat.
"Fourth brother, we've been walking for half an hour, is that enough?" Why don't we just have an extra bowl of rice? Is this what Fourth Brother is doing?
"It's not enough. Let's walk for another half hour."
Zhao Yao sat down on the ground, "I'm not leaving."
The fourth prince returned, directly pulled Zhao Yao up, then held his hand and continued walking.
"Fourth brother, I can't walk anymore, I don't want to leave..."
"We ate too much tonight, so we must walk more, otherwise we will accumulate food." The fourth prince forcefully pulled Zhao Yao to continue walking.
Zhao Yao shamelessly relied on the fourth prince and asked him to "carry" him away.
The fourth prince let him stick to his body like dog-skin plaster, "We will go back and copy Buddhist scriptures after walking for half an hour."
"Fourth brother, I really can't walk." Zhao Yao sat directly on the ground and hugged the fourth prince's thigh.
The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao's appearance and said helplessly: "Then let's go back."
As soon as he heard "go back", Zhao Yao stood up suddenly and strode towards the courtyard where they lived, which was also the courtyard where the prince lived.
The eighth prince lived in the prince's courtyard. After Zhao Yao came to Hulong Temple, he lived next door to the eighth prince.
After the fourth prince arrived, he was worried about Zhao Yao, so he lived in the same house with him.
On normal days, the fourth prince would never live next door to the eighth prince.
The eighth prince had no reason to hate the fourth prince, and the fourth prince also had no reason to dislike him. The two looked at each other with disgust.
When I returned to the courtyard where the prince was, I originally wanted to say hello to the prince first, but the prince had to stay in the Main Hall tonight to chant sutras and pray for the late queen and was not in the courtyard.
Zhao Yao went to visit the eighth prince first. He came back just in time, the Eighth Prince had just woken up.
"Bago, you're awake." Seeing that the eighth prince was awake, Zhao Yao's face was full of joy.
Seeing the bright smile on Zhao Yao's face, a slight smile appeared on the eighth prince's pale face. However, when he saw the fourth prince behind the eighth prince, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
Zhao Yao walked to the eighth prince's bedside and asked with concern on his face: "Brother, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"better."
Yu Hai, who was standing aside, said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you just drank a bowl of porridge."
"That's great." Zhao Yao said happily, "Being able to eat means that Brother Bago, you are getting better."
The fourth prince stood behind Zhao Yao and said nothing.
"Bago, you need to eat more now so that you can get better quickly."
Zhao Yao didn't talk much to the eighth prince. The Eighth Prince is weak and should not talk too much. After a while, he exited the eighth prince's room and returned to his own room.
"Fourth brother, why haven't they found out the mastermind yet?" Zhao Yao originally thought that Emperor Zhou Wu and the others would be able to find out the mastermind within two days, but it has been almost three days and there is no news about the mastermind. nothing. "Who sent someone to assassinate the prince's brother?"
The Fourth Prince didn't know who was behind the scenes because there were too many suspects, but he was sure that the one behind the scenes was among them.
"Father will definitely find out, so don't worry about it."
"That's right." Zhao Yao didn't say anything more about it and looked down at the new arithmetic book that the fourth prince brought today.
The fourth prince lowered his head and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures.
Zhao Yao wrote arithmetic for a while, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
Wait, is it possible that the prince's brother directed and acted in this assassination, and then put the charge of assassinating the prince on the second brother?
It's not impossible.
The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.
The prince brother himself would definitely not have thought of this method. It should have been the idea of Duke Zhen Guo.
With the Duke's scheming mind, he would not directly blame the second brother, but would definitely use some clues to point to the second brother in various twists and turns.
If it was really the prince brother and the others who directed and acted, then it was really an unreasonable disaster for Bago to be seriously injured this time. However, Bage was injured in order to save the prince's brother. The prince's brother will definitely reuse Bage in the future and treat Bage well.
Good to myna...
Another thought flashed through Zhao Yao's mind. Could it be that the assassination was not directed and performed by the prince's brother, but by the eighth brother...
Frightened by his own thoughts, Zhao Yao quickly shook his head and hurriedly denied in his heart, it was impossible, Bage almost died, Bage would not do this to him...
Zhao Yao suddenly thought that the Eighth Prince could be cruel to him... If it was the Eighth Prince... it was not impossible...
When he thought that the mastermind behind this assassination might be the Eighth Prince, Zhao Yao was so shocked that he gasped inwardly.
If it was really Bago who did it, what was the purpose of Bago doing this? Is it to make the prince brother trust and reuse him more?
Bage has always been with the prince brother, and the prince trusts him quite a bit. There is no need for him to resort to superfluous tactics. After all, only by relying on the prince brother can Bage live well in the palace.
It is said that the assassin has been lurking in Hulong Temple for a long time, and the assassination of the prince's brother was planned for a long time. It is impossible for Bago to do this just to become the savior of the prince brother.
With Starling's intelligence and thoughtfulness, I'm afraid he has a deeper purpose.
Will the competition between the crown prince brother and the second brother become more intense?
Not too possible.
Now the Eighth Brother has to rely on the Prince's brother and keep a low profile by his side. It is impossible to let the Prince's brother get into trouble now.
If it was to deal with the second brother, there was no need to use this trick. Besides, knocking down the second brother now will not do any good to the eighth brother.
It's not the prince's brother, and it's unlikely to be the second brother, so only the third brother and the others are left.
Did the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family behind Third Brother and the others offend Bage in some way, or was there something that Bage needed?
No, I heard that those assassins were dead soldiers. Where did Bago get the dead soldiers?
Death warriors are usually trained by aristocratic families.
Myna has no ancestral home. Even if there are still people in Bage's maternal grandfather's family, they are just ordinary people and have no ability to train dead soldiers.
Then it’s not a myna.
Zhao Yao denied the Eighth Prince, but he still felt that the person behind the scenes was the Eighth Prince.
Zhao Yao: What is the purpose of Bago doing this?
Guys, guess what the eighth prince’s purpose is.
