Respect the palace.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion hurried over. Xiao Shen in the study frowned, looking at the unsatisfactory writing, his tone was a little unkind, "Why are you so panicked?"
The housekeeper did not notice Xiao Shen's dissatisfaction at this time. His excitement made him ignore it. He stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Shen's ear, "The emperor is unconscious."
Xiao Shen's eyes lit up, "Seriously?"
"Yes, the palace is in chaos. All the doctors from the imperial hospital are waiting in the emperor's palace." The joyful look on his face seemed as if his master was now enthroned as emperor.
Xiao Shen was meditating with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth in the study, "Where is the Queen? What are you doing?"
"The Queen has already gone to the Emperor's palace, and she is also arranging various matters now."
"Where is the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell a few days ago and has not shown up. However, for the sake of safety, I asked someone to ask. The Queen Mother said that she would leave all the powers to the Prince, and she trusted the Prince."
Xiao Shen's expression became even more proud, he finally waited for this day, "Notify the Prime Minister and Marquis Zhongyong to act according to the plan."
"yes."
"I want to change my clothes and enter the palace."
"Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
The emperor's palace.
"Doctor Zhang, how is the emperor now?" The queen looked anxious and carefully observed the emperor's condition, fearing that something was wrong. Is the emperor really in a coma? She still can't believe it.
"The minister is incompetent and cannot find out the cause of the emperor's illness. I wonder why the emperor is in a coma?" The elderly doctor Zhang knelt on the ground and shivered.
"What's the use of you? Isn't it possible that no one in the entire hospital can diagnose why the emperor is ill?" The queen threw the tea cup to the ground, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace didn't even dare to breathe.
"The slave is incompetent, the slave deserves to die."
"The slave is incompetent, the slave deserves to die."
"The slave is incompetent, the slave deserves to die."
······
"Don't tell me that you deserve to die. If you can't cure the emperor, even if you have a hundred heads, it won't be enough to cut him off."
On the side, Eunuch Zhang Fu was trembling and tears kept flowing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly."
When the queen saw Zhang Fu like this, any suspicion she had had was dispelled. After all, Zhang Fu has been with the emperor since he was a child, and the friendship is not ordinary. Zhang Fu is so sad, the emperor must be in trouble.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! How is your father?" Xiao Shen came in from outside the palace with a panicked look on his face, his face was pale, he really looked like he was overly frightened and anxious.
"Shen'er," the queen began to cry when she saw Xiao Shen, wiping the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, "Your father... Your father... wuwuwu..." Please take a look at your father."
Xiao Shen knelt down beside the bed and said, "Father, Father, please wake up. I am Shen'er, Father... What's wrong with you? You were fine yesterday, Father." .”
He looked like he was crying, he was really a filial son.
At this time, Guo Youwei, Liu Cheng and several people from the eldest prince's faction came outside the palace and asked to come in.
The young eunuch hurried in and said, "See you, the Queen, and pay homage to Your Highness."
"What's up?"
"The Prime Minister, Marquis Zhongyong and several other adults are outside asking for an audience."
"Quick, let them in." Although the queen's face was still dignified and serious. But upon closer inspection, there was actually a hint of pride at this moment.
"I am here to see you, the Queen, and pay my respects to Your Highness."
Several adults knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Shen wiped his tears, with a flash of joy in his eyes, "Prime Minister, Lord Marquis and all your lords, please get up. My father is not feeling well. At this time...hey."
Guo Youwei slightly raised his hands with an expressionless expression, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here just because of this matter. Weichen's mother has a serious illness, and she has visited famous doctors to no avail. A few days ago, a famous ghost doctor was invited to cure her. Okay. Today, I specially brought someone into the palace and asked the prince and queen for permission to come in and see for the emperor."
"Okay, okay, the Prime Minister is still interested. Please ask a ghost doctor."
Outside the hall, an old man with white hair, wearing a gray robe, and a fairy-like manner followed the young eunuch into the hall, "Common people see the prince, see the queen."
"Ghost doctor, please come. Can you please ghost doctor take a look at my father? The doctors in the imperial hospital are at a loss. There is really no other way." Xiao Shen nodded slightly and said modestly and politely.
The old man nodded slightly, "I'll do my best."
The old man in gray clothes stepped forward and carefully felt the emperor's pulse and his beard. He really felt a bit like an outsider.
The silence in the palace could be heard as all the maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, their heads lowered.
After a moment, the old man let go of his hand and sighed.
The Queen spoke first, "Ghost Doctor, how is the Emperor?" Her face was full of anxiety, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Xiao Shen put his arm around the queen's shoulders and comforted her gently, "Mother, don't worry. Let's listen to what the senior ghost doctor says first."
The old man in gray clothes slightly cupped his hands and said, "Queen, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is poisoned."
The whole room was in an uproar.
"Poisoned? How is it possible? Zhang Fu, you have taken care of the emperor's daily life all day long. Tell me, how did the emperor get poisoned?" The queen first expressed her anger at Zhang Fu. This old guy, who usually relied on the emperor's support, did not Don't touch her bad luck.
Zhang Fu immediately kowtowed, "I don't know this, but the empress is aware of it. I have taken care of the emperor conscientiously over the years, and my loyalty to the emperor can be seen in heaven."
"Then why was the emperor poisoned? Check, check carefully for me. Everyone in this palace should be taken away for interrogation."
The queen gave an order, and the guards outside the door quickly came in to take the person, and the hall suddenly burst into mourning.
"Queen, spare your life, this slave is unjust."
"Queen, spare your life, this slave is unjust."
"Queen, spare your life, this slave is unjust."
······
"Whether you are wronged or not, it doesn't matter what I say. If I find out that it has nothing to do with you, I will naturally let you out. If there is any connection, I will destroy all nine of your tribes." The Queen looked at those cowering people fiercely. The palace man's proud expression was palpable. She doesn't like any of these people.
Soon, everyone was dragged down, leaving only Zhang Fu.
"Zhang Fu, I will leave you alone for the time being and take care of the Emperor here. If it is found that you are involved in this matter, I will definitely execute you Ling Chi."
"Thank you, Queen. The old slave is loyal to the emperor. The sun and the moon can tell you. The old slave swears that the old slave has never betrayed the emperor. Old slave..."
"I don't listen to your nonsense. I only care about the results." The queen looked past him with cold eyes, "Mother Ma, the emperor's palace cannot be empty. Go and make arrangements and find some smart people to come over."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
"Mother, please don't get so angry. Since the senior ghost doctor knows that it is poisoning, he will be able to detoxify it. Let's listen to him." Xiao Shen patted the queen's back comfortingly.
Only then did the queen realize that she was too impatient and had forgotten the most important thing. A trace of discomfort flashed across her face, "I am concerned and confused. The last thing I want to see is that someone is disrespectful to the emperor. I got emotional for a while. I hope you can forgive me."
The officials in the palace are all old foxes, and they all watch without saying a word.
