At this time, in the palace, Emperor Chongning, who had just left the morning court, went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and have breakfast with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the breakfast on the table, sighed quietly, frowned and said to Emperor Chongning, "Yesterday the Emperor went to see A Ci? I heard it was very dangerous. Why is this child always in trouble? It’s worrying.”
Emperor Chongning said respectfully: "Yes, I thought that my fifth brother was not in the capital, and my mother loved Aci the most, so I went to Lingyang Palace in person. The doctors are doing their best, so don't worry about my mother. Aci will It's fine."
"Yun Zhang, can you find out who did it?"
"We are still investigating. Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will definitely give an explanation to the Lingyang Palace." He was talking about the Lingyang Palace, not Xiao Qi.
The Queen Mother remained silent until Emperor Chongning took a bowl of porridge and handed it to her in person. She then said, "The Ai family can't eat when they think of A Ci. The fifth child is not in the capital, and A Ci doesn't even have a dedicated person around him." , why doesn’t the emperor move Aci to the palace and let the Ai family take care of him personally?”
Emperor Chongning's hand hanging on one side tightened. His face was still respectful, and he said with a smile: "Don't you remember, Queen Mother? A Ci is the one who recognizes the bed. Except for Cangwu Courtyard and the royal palace in Lingyang City, he can't go anywhere. I can’t get used to it.”
After saying that, before the Queen Mother opened her mouth, she said again: "Besides, how can we work for the Queen Mother? I sent people to the palace early in the morning. With my people watching, no one will slack off."
Emperor Chongning held the spoon in both hands and handed it to the Queen Mother, "I heard that yesterday my mother had been in the Buddhist hall because of A Ci's affairs, and she had to reduce the expenses of the harem to pray for A Ci. A Ci is young, how can he bear the burden of his mother? "
"That's the grandson of the Ai family. What's wrong with the Ai family?"
Emperor Chongning lowered his head hurriedly, "What the Queen Mother said is true, but the Chinese New Year is coming, and it is the time when the palaces are awarding rewards. If the expenses are suddenly reduced, it will inevitably cause some complaints, but it will not be good for A Ci."
If everyone knew that the Empress Dowager reduced the expenses of the harem just because of Prince Lingyang, which affected the interests of others, how could others be willing to do so?
"Forget it, the Ai family can't defeat you. Anyway, the queen is in charge of the harem, and the Ai family shouldn't have interfered."
Emperor Chongning said hurriedly: "The Queen Mother is serious. The Queen and I are still young, and we still need the Queen Mother's guidance in everything. I am just afraid that the fifth brother will feel uncomfortable because of A Ci when he comes back. Nowadays, there are still fifth brothers in the army. You can rest assured with me."
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager said nothing more, took the spoon handed over by Emperor Chongning, and started eating breakfast.
Emperor Chongning breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zheng Leng who was waiting at the door. Zheng Leng bowed and left, heading to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
All matters in the harem are decided by the middle palace. Even if the queen mother wants to reduce the expenses of the harem, the queen must inform the palaces. This is also an offending task.
In Fengyi Palace, the queen who was sitting at the top and looking through the account books didn't even raise her head after hearing Zheng Leng's words, "I know."
"Then the servant resigned."
After Zheng Leng left, the queen raised her eyes, a sneer escaped from the corner of her lips, and said in a very shallow voice, "How long can I protect you..."
This extremely shallow voice was drowned in the wind and snow, and the snow was still flying outside the window. In the palace of Prince Lingyang, Sui Lun chased after Lu Zheng without any image.
On the road from Prince Lingyang's Mansion to Cangwu Courtyard, everyone looked sideways at the running Lu Zheng, and then saluted after seeing Sui Lun.
"General Sui."
Sui Lun carried Lu Zheng's medicine box and chased Lu Zheng all the way to Cangwu Courtyard without caring about the general's demeanor.
Xiao Fuzi, who had learned from the cavalry clearing the way that Lu Zheng had arrived in the capital, was still a little stunned. It was impossible!
But the next moment when Xiao Fuzi saw the person appearing at the door of Cangwu Courtyard, his eyes widened in disbelief. How could it happen so quickly?
"Miss Lu..."
Xiao Qi was so tired that he was out of breath. When he saw Xiao Fuzi's red and swollen eyes, he knew something was wrong. Sui Lun had already caught up with him. Xiao Qi turned around and grabbed the medicine box in Sui Lun's hand. He lifted his feet and walked to the bedroom.
Xiao Fuzi stepped forward to greet him, "I will take the girl to the master's room..."
Xiao Qi passed by him and went directly to the bedroom. Didn't he know where his own bedroom was?
Xiao Fuzi's hand in mid-air had not yet fallen, and he stared blankly at the man striding into the bedroom. Sui Lun, who was following behind, asked him anxiously, "How is the prince? Why did Miss Lu say that the prince was poisoned?"
Xiao Fuzi was full of doubts, but he was very convinced of Lu Zheng's medical skills, "With Miss Lu here, the prince will be fine soon."
Sui Lun strode to Xiao Qi's room, but did not go in. Everyone was kicked out by "Lu Zheng".
Sui Lun, who was waiting outside the door, asked about the whole story of Xiao Qi's poisoning. His eyes darkened, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes. The imperial doctor who was close to him couldn't help but step back slightly.
Sui Lun finally remembered to ask Xiao Fuzi, "This Miss Lu...has she ever been to the palace?"
Why are you more familiar with him? This run felt like home.
Xiao Fuzi shook his head. Could it be that his master drew a sketch of Cangwu Courtyard for Miss Lu in his spare time?
The imperial doctors waiting outside Xiao Qi's room looked at each other in confusion. One of the imperial doctors muttered: "How can she do it at such a young age? If anything happens to the prince, who will bear the blame?"
"I didn't see that Mr. Yuan Zheng is not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry..."
Doctor Zhang, who was finally able to take a break, sat on a chair and drank ginseng soup to stay alive. He glanced at Xiao Fuzi, who stepped forward and bowed his head.
"Is this the one who nursed the crown prince's health in Lingyang City?" Doctor Zhang asked.
Xiao Fuzi nodded, "It's her."
A few words were enough. Doctor Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. It was just her, and the prince could be saved.
He had been taking care of Xiao Qi's body all this time, so how could he not know that the two mutually exclusive poisons in Xiao Qi's body had been resolved.
At that time, he could only think of fighting poison with poison, but after many years he still couldn't figure out a way to detoxify it. Xiao Qi just went to Lingyang to live for a while, and the poison was cured.
Sure enough, people can't just look at their appearance. It doesn't matter if they are young. Wasn't the medical saint Runze of that generation famous all over the world when he was young?
In the room, Xiao Qi, who was lying beside the couch, leaned over and called softly, "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng..."
"Lu Zheng..."
The person on the couch looked pale, and there was still sweat on his forehead. Xiao Qi picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped the sweat, and said in a low voice: "I don't know how we can change it back. I am the one who caused you trouble this time."
If there hadn't been an accident and the two of them had switched bodies, Lu Zheng wouldn't be the one suffering here now.
Xiao Qi lowered his head and glanced at his palm. Through several layers of cloth, he could still clearly smell the faint fragrance remaining from before. He took out the silver needle from Lu Zheng's medicine box and whispered a few words into Lu Zheng's ear.
"I'm just guessing. Now, I can only give it a try. You must wake up quickly."
It would be best if the two of them could switch back quickly, so that she wouldn't have to endure the pain.
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, the silver needle in his hand pierced his fingertips, and blood plants emerged instantly, and the fragrance filled the room. His fingertips moved, and blood plants dripped into his lips as he lay on the couch.
