After Baozhu finished lunch, she stood at the door and paced anxiously back and forth. When she saw Fu Yuanxiao's figure, she couldn't wait to greet him.
"Girl, you're back, you must be hungry."
Normally, girls would eat pastries to fill their stomachs before meals. It was strange that they weren't hungry.
"I'm hungry." Fu Yuanxiao quickened his pace, thinking about eating.
Baozhu turned to look at Xie Chi and asked in a low voice: "Is the girl not in trouble?"
Realizing that what he said was wrong, he asked again: "No one else bullied the girl, right?"
Xie Chi glanced at the orb and said, "Am I a decoration?"
Baozhu realized that Xie Chi was good at kung fu, so how could he let the girl be bullied?
"It's not a big problem." After saying this, Xie Chi strode away.
"It's not a big problem?" Bao Zhu thought for a while and guessed that Xie Chi was saying that the girl's trouble was not big and he could solve it.
That should be what it means.
Xiao Ji's injury lasted four days, and he went to the palace early this morning to pay his respects to the emperor.
In the royal study, the emperor sat in front of the dragon table.
"You are injured. You should take good care of yourself. There is no need to salute me. How is your injury?"
Xiao Ji lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, knowing clearly in his heart that his father was just perfunctory and did not really care about his injury.
"My son's injury has improved a bit. The eighth brother is still young and his temper is unavoidable, and he is not suitable for arguing about right and wrong in person. The fifth brother is only one year older than him. With the guidance of his father, he naturally has to be more docile and steady. I hope my father will be dealt with lightly."
On the surface, Xiao Ji is pleading for Xiao Qi, but in fact, he is adding fuel to the fire.
He also reminded the emperor that Xiao Che's biological mother passed away thirteen years ago, and it was only because of the emperor's long teaching that he could be so good.
As for Xiao Qi, even if his biological mother taught him, he would not be as good as Xiao Che.
The emperor's anger that had not subsided started to rise after hearing this.
Just because last night, Concubine Ling, who was locked up, suddenly wanted to see him like crazy, causing a noise in the harem.
After making a mistake, he still relied on favor and was arrogant, and did not take the queen into consideration.
Even if he gives birth to a son, he will be arrogant, domineering, impulsive and willful.
"He wounds his hands and feet with a sword. I don't have such a son."
"King Rui has bad conduct and has no brothers. He is demoted to Yixiang and will leave today."
"Father..."
Xiao Ji wanted to persuade her a few more words, but was interrupted by the emperor, "I have already decided, no further persuasion is needed."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, a smile of success flashed through his deep eyes.
Yesterday, he learned that Concubine Ling had been arguing all night just to plead for Xiao Qi.
The news Xu Yan handed over was just an exaggeration, and Concubine Ling got into the trap when she was anxious, thinking that the emperor wanted to kill Xiao Qi.
Concubine Ling was imprisoned, but she knew what was going on outside. The emperor mistakenly thought that there was an informant around her, so he was naturally furious.
Xiao Ji came out of the Imperial Study Room, and the bright sunshine shone on his handsome face. He squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun above his head.
In the past few years, he has been walking on thin ice until now, and he is bound to win!
Concubine Ling was demoted from the position of concubine to nobleman. When she learned that Xiao Qi had been demoted to Yixiang, she became seriously ill.
Xiao Qi was still young and was demoted to Yixiang this time, with no hope of success.
In the study room, after Xiao Ji listened to Xu Yan's words, he played with the silver ring on his index finger. A trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes like a deep pool, "So what if you are favored?"
Xu Yan asked: "Your Majesty, do you need to do something on the road to remove the weeds?"
Xiao Ji said calmly: "No need for the time being."
Yixiang belongs to the north, a land of bitter cold. Xiao Qi has been pampered since childhood. How can he endure the miserable life?
Xiao Qi will force himself to a dead end without him taking action.
Xiao Ji felt a little tight in his chest and coughed several times. Still unable to bear it, he took out a square handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed several times.
Seeing this, Xu Yan took a few steps forward and asked worriedly: "My lord, are you okay?"
Xiao Ji removed the square handkerchief. The bright red blood on the plain square handkerchief looked a bit shocking. He was stunned for a while.
"Blood!" Xu Yan was startled, "Why is there blood?"
"Your Majesty, please go down and call the doctor." Xu Yan walked out quickly.
Xiao Ji stared at the blood on the handkerchief for a long time. This was not the first time he coughed up blood. He started vomiting blood occasionally when he was eight years old.
He told his mother-in-law, but she said it was because he hit his tooth that it was bleeding, and she didn't ask the imperial doctor to see him.
He did fall down at that time, but he didn't take it seriously due to his age.
When he was twelve years old, he was beaten to the ground by two princes from Ningwai. He also vomited blood at that time. He thought it was caused by the beating, and his mother and concubine didn't care about him, so they didn't take it to heart.
I also vomited once the year before last, when I was forced to kneel down.
It happened last year too, but he thought it was a sign of anger and didn't take it to heart.
While Xiao Ji was deep in thought, Xu Yan called the doctor over.
After feeling the pulse for a while, the doctor said something.
Xiao Ji raised his deep eyes and looked at the doctor, "Why did I vomit blood?"
The doctor hesitated for a while and said, "His Majesty, it's a bit like symptoms of poisoning."
Xiao Ji asked again: "What kind of poison?"
The doctor said cautiously: "I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never seen such a poison. It is not as cold as one day if it freezes three feet. I am afraid it will be for some time. Although the toxicity is strong, the small amount is not enough to hurt life. However, the toxin If it stays in the body for too long, it may be life-threatening."
Xu Yan frowned when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean? It won't hurt your life for a while, but it will endanger your life for a while?"
"A small amount of poison is enough to survive today. If the poison cannot be detoxified, the poison will attack the heart for a long time and life will be worrying." The doctor explained.
Only then did Xu Yan understand the meaning of the doctor's words. Just because he was fine now, it didn't mean he would be fine in the future.
He looked at the prince worriedly.
Xiao Ji frowned when he heard this, how could he be poisoned? Where does poison come from?
Could it be that someone in the palace wanted to harm him?
He remembered that his mother-in-law was very favored in the past. Could it be that at that time, she was jealous of the women in the palace?
"Is there any antidote?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "There is nothing we can do for now."
After the doctor left, Xiao Ji sat there motionless, pursed his lips, thinking about everything that had happened in the palace over the years, but he couldn't think of who poisoned him.
Even if we check, it has been impossible to find out for so many years.
Xu Yan was guarding the door. When he saw Fu Yuanxiao coming, he took two steps forward and bowed: "Princess, the prince is busy."
Fu Yuanxiao glanced towards the study, then looked down at the freshly cooked pork swallow in his hand, "I'll just send some things in and leave later."
Xu Yan was a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and said, "Then my subordinates will go in and ask?"
Fu Yuanxiao: "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu."
"It's not troublesome, one of my subordinates did it." Xu Yan turned around and walked into the study.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here, bringing a food box."
Xiao Ji was not in the mood to eat right now, so he said without even thinking, "I am not free."
When Xu Yan heard this, he said no more, bowed and exited.
Fu Yuanxiao's clear and bright peach blossom eyes suddenly appeared in Xiao Ji's mind. He showed a disappointed expression after being rejected, and he said again: "Let her in."
Xu Yan paused when he heard this. He clearly remembered that this was the third time that the prince had rejected the princess and regretted it...
