But Zhu Youxiao also knew that this matter could not be hidden for long, so he immediately issued an order for the British Duke and Wu Dinghou to control the outer city.
Ma Xianglin's Royal Forest Army took over the inner city, and at the same time mobilized the Jinyi Guards, the Four Teng Xiang Guards, and two thousand Imperial Forest Army troops to guard the palace.
After everything was arranged, Ma Xianglin returned to Zhu Youxiao.
And he, who had been holding back, finally returned to Qianqing Palace, his home.
The two eunuchs Wang Chaofu and Wei Zhongxian were extremely anxious when they learned that the emperor had been assassinated.
At this time, seeing the emperor so weak again, he felt that the sky was about to fall.
He knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao and cried loudly.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. I'm not dead, so why are you crying?"
"As long as Li Changwen is here, I will be fine."
At this time, although Zhu Youxiao was slightly tired and felt physically weak, he did not think that he was going to die and pass away.
Li Shizhen's grandson inherited the mantle of the medical saint, and Zhu Youxiao believed that he could cure himself.
After carefully examining the wound, Li Changwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it was timely. Although it was poisoned, the wound has not yet festered. The treatment should be timely at this moment. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the examination answer from the imperial court judge.
So they carried Zhu Youxiao to lie down on the dragon bed, and asked the palace maid to take off his shirt to facilitate treatment.
Although it was cold winter now, the earth dragon in Qianqing Palace provided Zhu Youxiao with enough temperature, so even without clothes, Zhu Youxiao did not feel the cold.
Li Changwen also took the poisonous arrow from the guard and began to study and analyze it.
At the same time, he also asked his two apprentices to start brewing some general antidotes and give them to the emperor first.
"Those assassins cannot be allowed to see anyone. Xu Xianchun, go and interrogate them yourself and find out everything they know. Don't let me down."
"I obey your orders."
Xu Xianchun naturally knew that this matter was urgent and left immediately.
"Yang Huan, without my order, no one is allowed to approach Qianqing Palace. Even the queen and concubine must be blocked by me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely keep your Majesty's orders in mind."
Listening to Yang Huan's sonorous and powerful answer, Zhu Youxiao also felt relieved, and then said:
"Wang Wangfu, when you go to King Xuanrui's palace, you must be secretive and not let anyone know."
"Call Cao Bianjiao."

The sudden closure of the nine gates outside the capital was a bit strange to the people, but they didn't think much about it.
But the officials who learned about this were different.
They were all confused as to why the army had entered the city again and closed the nine gates.
Especially the blockade in the inner city made them feel that this was unusual.
In order to clear up their doubts, many officials began to visit relatives and friends, hoping to get as much information as possible.
The officials of the Sixth Department and Sixth Section working in the imperial city were naturally aware of what happened suddenly outside.
Just when they were about to go to Wenyuan Pavilion and inquire about the cabinet, they found many guards wearing armor and holding knives coming outside their office.
"Your Majesty has ordered that all courtiers and officials must not leave their places today. Anyone who dares to move without permission will be shot without mercy."
The leading general's sentence of "kill without mercy" made the officials present breathless.
They never took this statement as a threat or intimidation.
Because they actually did it.
Even if the words of inquiry came to their lips, none of them dared to speak. They could only stare with big eyes and small eyes, and finally returned helplessly.
At this time, the officials present had the same idea in their minds. I am afraid that something big is about to happen in the capital. I am afraid that the tyrant will once again cause a big disaster.
Start killing.
…………
King Rui, named Zhu Changhao, is Zhu Youxiao's grandfather and the fifth son of Emperor Wanli. He is one generation older than Zhu Youxiao and is his uncle.
He is a full round older than Zhu Youxiao. He was born in the 19th year of Wanli.
In the 29th year of Wanli, he was canonized at the same time as the Crown Prince, King Fu, King Hui and King Gui.
He is thirty years old this year.
Although he was granted the title of king early, he never left the capital to become a vassal.
He even married after the age of twenty-five, which can be said to be a typical late marriage.
And this late marriage was only possible because of his unremitting efforts, otherwise he might still be a single man now.
Compared to his brothers such as King Fu and King Gui, he can be said to be more miserable. Compared with his cheap father, he is not popular.
Although he has been living in the capital, his presence can be said to be non-existent.
This is true whether it is in this time and space or another time and space.
Historically, he waited until the seventh year of Tianqi, when Emperor Tianqi was about to die, before he was able to vassal Hanzhong.
But no matter what, he is the son of Emperor Shenzong.
Now that his life was in danger, he might have left Hexi. Naturally, he wanted to control this sect that was so close to him.
Lest he be taken advantage of or get ambitious and cause any trouble.
Zhu Youjian has been sent to Guangzhou thousands of miles away by him. Even if he dies, his competitiveness will not be that great.
Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao had not seen this King Rui a few times.
The only thing that impressed him more was his coronation ceremony.
The same was true for Zhu Changhao. He sent memorials several times to ask Zhu Youxiao for permission to leave Beijing and join the feudal clan, but nothing happened, and there was no news at all.
Therefore, Zhu Changhao was also very unfamiliar with his nephew, the emperor, and had only seen him a few times in total.
This time, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony came to take him into the palace in person. Could it be that he had settled the affairs of the feudal clan?
Just when he was secretly rejoicing, he had already arrived at Qianqing Palace.
The moment he entered the palace, he smelled a smell of medicine, which was very pungent.
If this was not the Qianqing Palace, he might have covered his nose on the spot.
Could the emperor be the same as Emperor Sejong?
Isn't it possible to refine elixirs in the palace?
I only heard that he likes carpentry, but I didn't hear that he was good at elixirs?
Just when he was doubting, Wang Chaofu had already led him to the inner palace. He knelt down towards the direction blocked by the screen and shouted:
"Long live my lord, Your Highness Prince Rui is here."
Zhu Changhao's reaction was not slow, he bowed in the same direction as Wang Chaofu and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Chang Hao."
Zhu Youxiao did not respond in time. At this time, he was already exhausted and extremely weak.
After a while, a slightly childish voice sounded.
"Pingshen, grant a seat to King Rui."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Although he was a generation older than the emperor, Zhu Changhao did not dare to neglect the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and was respectful.
But at this time, he had another doubt. There was something wrong with this voice.
The emperor is already eighteen years old, why does his voice still sound like a child's?
But he didn't dare to say it, let alone ask.
