However, such peaceful days did not last a few days, when bad news came from the East Palace.
After the prince vomited a mouthful of blood this morning, he fell into a coma, and the imperial doctor was helpless.
In desperation, someone from the East Palace invited Su Mu to come out.
Due to the majesty of the royal family, Su Mu took his medicine box and equipment to the East Palace, and did not come back for three days.
The Su family was very anxious. Treating the prince this time was different from treating others. Once he made a mistake and the prince couldn't get up, the emperor's wrath would fall on him, which was no joke.
Sun Ling'er was the most anxious. They had just gotten married and didn't want anything to happen to Su Mu.
However, with the ability of the Su family, it was a bit difficult to find out about the situation in the East Palace. In desperation, they had no choice but to write to the Duke's Mansion to see if Su Wan could find a way to find out about the situation in the East Palace.
Things in the East Palace have been abuzz in Kyoto these days. It just so happened that the Duke went to visit the East Palace today and got some information.
In the past few days in the East Palace, Su Mu worked almost non-stop to save the prince's life.
He didn't get a good rest, and the blue eyes and red bloodshot eyes showed how tired he was at the moment.
The prince was already over thirty years old, and he was a rare political talent. The world only lamented that the prince was virtuous but not blessed, and could not withstand such great luck.
However, during his reign, he opened up a path for the imperial examination for poor students all over the world. In the early years, he cooperated with the officials to fight bribery, which made many people who wanted to steal the money and change the pillars failed. Therefore, in the court, all the candidates from the Hanlin Academy Most of the outstanding generation came from poor families.
He advocated benevolent government, adhering to his father's ideas, and hoped that the Jin State would be able to reach a situation where the houses are open at night. When a dynasty reaches a certain level of prosperity, the people will have a good life. At that time, everyone will have no shortage of food, drink, and money. Silver, even at night, when the door of the house is open, no one cares about the family's finances. This means the door is not closed at night.
However, despite such great ambitions, he was not blessed with much luck. At such a young age, he had already run out of energy and energy.
Otherwise, with a prince as good as him, what would happen to the other princes?
There is no need for everyone to argue. After all, the prince's talent and reputation are what everyone expects.
In order to accompany the prince, the emperor specially stayed away from court for two days and stayed in the East Palace for two consecutive days, which shows his regret and love for the prince.
Su Mu finally managed to protect the prince's heart and stabilize his life temporarily, and then used a variety of precious herbs to hold his breath and maintain his clarity for a moment.
The cause of the prince's serious illness has also been found out. It is not just because of his poor health. Although he was born prematurely, he was raised well.
Someone had tampered with his diet and gradually eroded the prince's vitality by taking advantage of the principle of mutual reinforcement between foods.
The person behind this must have a special understanding of the use of various ingredients, mastered the characteristics of each ingredient, and constantly changed them, confusing the judgment of the imperial physician.
He doesn't just use one kind of pharmacology, but alternates several kinds. But these are nothing to Su Mu. He also understands the pharmacology of mutual reinforcement between foods.
And the person behind the scenes was so brave that he actually dared to make trouble in the food in front of him, and he discovered it all at once.
The Holy Emperor immediately asked people to seal off the East Palace, then controlled all the serving eunuchs and maids, and began to interrogate one by one, and it was inevitable to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
As for the prince, after being pricked with needles by Sumu for several days and given decoction, he finally managed to regain his breath for the time being.
As soon as he woke up, the Holy Emperor rushed to see him.
The prince had lost his appearance and lost his former dignity and elegance. His eye sockets were now sunken and he was extremely ill.
He knew that his time was short, but he still had no resentment.
The emperor raised him as his favorite son. Once upon a time, he wanted to entrust the country of Jin to him. But in his current body, he has long been unable to be crowned the emperor. However, the emperor still retains his position as the prince and hopes that Hopefully one day he will get better.
Su Mu bluntly said that the prince was helpless and asked the Holy Master to make final mental preparations and say what he wanted to say quickly.
Su Mucai was not afraid that he would arouse the wrath of the Holy Spirit by saying such rebellious words. The prince's fate was already doomed.
At first, everyone thought he had a severe cough, and the entire hospital did not find out that he had food poisoning for a long time.
According to ancient medical standards, it was difficult to identify the cause of food poisoning, unlike ordinary poisons, which could be tested with silver needles.
Su Mu also happened to see the palace servant coming in with a bowl of rotten vegetable porridge, and found out that there was such a mystery in it. Otherwise, he might not have been able to diagnose the real cause of the prince's serious illness.
The Holy Spirit had already accepted this reality and was silent for a long time. He waved Sumu to leave and asked someone to arrange a room for him to rest.
Su Mu left, and the queen on the side was already in tears. The third prince Murong Rui was also comforting her, but he lowered his head and could not tell his expression.
Lying inside were his royal brothers. They were all descendants of the queen. Naturally, he would not be absent from an occasion like today.
In the afternoon, the prince woke up, and the emperor immediately went to see him, but the prince said that his father should go in alone because he had something to say to him.
The queen, her own mother, could only wait outside. The third prince didn't know where he had gone, but she had no intention of looking for him now. She just wanted to see her eldest son again.
After closing the door, the emperor walked to the prince and sat down:
"How are you feeling, Min'er? I've invited a little miracle doctor to come over and treat you. Do you know that someone with deliberate intentions tampered with your food, and that's why you're like this?"
The emperor regretted very much at this moment, why he didn't ask the little miracle doctor to come and see him earlier.
If it could be discovered earlier, maybe...
However, the prince already knew that he had no tomorrow, so he smiled with relief.
"Father, what's the point of talking about this now? I know my own body, and I just wish I could no longer share my father's worries. I have been sick and weak these years, and I have never shared even half of my burden for my father. I always ask you to do it for me. It is unfilial for children and ministers to work hard."
The prince has always been like this and is gentle to everyone. Even at this time, he still has no resentment and is like a proper white moonlight.
"Min'er, I don't blame you. You are a good boy and the son I value most in my heart. You were before and you are now."
Prince Murong Min is both the direct descendant and the eldest son. It is natural for him to be the crown prince.
Since he was born, he has carried a heavier burden than others and has a lot to learn. While his other brothers were still acting coquettishly in their mother's arms, he had already picked up a pen and started writing and studying various Four Books and Five Classics.
