Royal Palace, East Palace.
Zhu Feng was like a miracle doctor. He had prepared a medicine box and brought it into the palace. He was surrounded by a group of eunuchs from the East Palace, and he was also preparing to inoculate the prince Zhu Houzhao.
But unfortunately, this vaccination was not as easy as the previous vaccinations he gave to the palace ladies and eunuchs.
"Go away! I have no disease, no need for medicine, let alone stabbing my body with something! How can I allow you to blaspheme my rich body? If you don't leave, don't blame me for beating you to death. !”
Zhu Houzhao is not a vegetarian.
He was usually very arrogant in the palace. Except for his father Zhu Youtang who could occasionally control him, even his mother, Queen Zhang, had nothing to do with him. A loving mother often loses her son, which is probably what he said.
Zhu Feng didn't know what was going on, and thought it was just that the prince didn't believe him. He stood there and explained carefully: "Your Highness, this doesn't hurt. It just pricks you, and if you draw some blood, the medicine will enter your body. From now on. If you have any more acne, you won’t get the disease.”
Zhu Houzhao said: "Nonsense! I am blessed by God, why would you prick me with such a smelly thing like yours? You still want me to bleed? What a beautiful idea! I put my words here today, if you dare If you touch me, I will have you beaten to death!"
The eunuch Gao Feng on the side hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is the young master of the Chengguo family. He cannot be beaten!"
"What? Is there anything I can't fight?"
Zhu Houzhao usually came into contact with palace maids and eunuchs when he was in the palace. As long as he gave an order, everyone would suffer.
But now he met someone he was not qualified to fight, so of course he was surprised.
Am I not the prince? Doesn’t the prince just want to hit whoever he wants?
Liu Jin was also explaining: "It really doesn't work, only His Majesty is qualified to issue an order!"
"Then I will tell my father..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty asked the young master to give you the medicine. He obeyed orders and your Majesty will not punish him."
"oops!"
It was the first time that Zhu Houzhao encountered such a difficult problem. His little eyes were spinning around at this time, probably trying to come up with a clever trick to deal with Zhu Feng.
Dare you make me unable to advance or retreat? If you let him out, you can't stuff him back. You have to find a way to treat him properly!
More importantly... he cannot be allowed to give me an injection!
Don’t you know that children are afraid of injections?
"This kind of thing may be poisonous. Even if it doesn't kill anyone for a while, after a while, I may be dead! He is suspected of murdering me!" Zhu Houzhao continued to criticize.
Zhu Feng was about to explain that it was fine even after using it for a long time.
Gao Feng next to him said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this medicine has been proven to be effective. It's Tianshi Li Guang. He found a few people with acne a few days ago, and found a few more people who took the medicine, and those who didn't. Together, the people who took the medicine had nothing to do, while the people who didn’t take the medicine all got acne!”
Zhu Feng was surprised when he heard this.
Who is this Li Guang? Do you still dare to experiment like this? Even if the royal family is delicate and expensive and needs someone to test the medicine, it wouldn't be so cruel, right?
Zhu Feng didn't know that Li Guang's original purpose was to prove that vaccination was ineffective and to maintain his authority as the only heavenly master of the Ming Dynasty, but he indirectly helped conduct clinical trials for vaccination, proving the efficacy of this medicine.
Otherwise, the emperor would not easily use the medicine on his own family.
Of course, it is impossible to publicize this kind of thing to the outside world, it will not appear in any classic records, and it will not be known to civil servants, but within the small area of the palace, this is not a secret.
"That means I have to use this palace?"
Zhu Houzhao was also very depressed after hearing this.
…
…
While Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Feng were dealing with each other, Zhu Youtang, Dai Yi and others, were also coming to the East Palace.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to go in person." Dai Yi persuaded.
It was just planting medicine for the prince, and if the emperor went there in person, wouldn't that mean that the eunuchs and eunuchs in the chamber were incompetent?
Zhu Youtang said: "I just want to take a look. The prince is usually too noisy. In order to understand his young habits, how can I make the prince obey? It just so happens that I also want to go over and supervise his homework."
There is no better son than a father.
Zhu Youtang knows what kind of character his son is. Zhu Feng is such an innocent and innocent dandy, but he still wants his son to take injections obediently? If his father does not come forward, it is estimated that the tug-of-war will continue for an unknown period of time, and Zhu Feng will most likely come back defeated.
When Zhu Youtang arrived outside the East Palace, Zhu Feng was already holding the needle, ready to stab him at any time.
At this moment, Zhu Feng was also hardened.
I know that you are not qualified to hit me, and I am in a difficult situation, so I will seize the opportunity to go up, hold you down and give you a needle in your arm, and then everything will be fine!
The idea was good, but none of the eunuchs around him helped him catch people. Not everyone was like him and could ignore Zhu Houzhao's threat.
"You still dare to mess around?" Zhu Houzhao stared at him as wide as possible and said coldly, "Do you believe that after I became the emperor, I will kill your entire family?"
Zhu Feng originally thought that he would be free from coercion, but after hearing these words, he became intimidated.
As soon as you think about it, you will understand the trick.
The current prince, the future emperor, is disrespectful to the prince's body now. When the prince becomes emperor in the future, let alone killing all of them, even if he gives the Cheng Guogong lineage to the Duke, he cannot afford it. .
At this moment, Liu Jin hurriedly ran in from outside and whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is here. He is almost at the East Palace."
"Um?"
This time it was Zhu Houzhao's turn to stare.
"Father is the same. He found someone to damage my body, and now he comes to supervise it himself? It's really... it's really..."
"Prince, be careful what you say."
Liu Jin was also afraid. He helped the emperor keep an eye on the movements in the direction of the Qianqing Palace. He, Liu Jin, specially found someone to do this. As soon as there was news, he would immediately notify Zhu Houzhao and ask Zhu Houzhao to prepare early and pretend to be serious and studious to deceive his father. It can be said that the trick is tried and tested.
If the emperor knew about this, Liu Jin would probably never want to stay in the palace.
Let alone letting the emperor hear Zhu Houzhao's disrespectful words, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Zhu, come here!" Zhu Houzhao waved to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng hasn't reacted yet.
The surname is Zhu? Isn’t your surname also Zhu?
But he walked over anyway.
Zhu Houzhao asked him to lean down close to him, and then said in Zhu Feng's ear: "You want to give me medicine, right? If you agree to take me out of the palace to play in the future, I will agree with you! I will also give you a reward." , if you don’t agree, I will still kill you all in the future!”
"Um?"
Zhu Feng was startled.
Is this also coercion and inducement?
While Zhu Houzhao was speaking, he glanced outside the East Palace intentionally or unintentionally, making sure that he was performing well when Zhu Youtang came.
"Ok?!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at each other sharply.
Zhu Feng thought to himself, others say that being with a king is like being with a tiger. Don't lie to me. I'm not even accompanying you now. If I'm accompanying a prince, I will die!
"Then...then...I am not qualified."
Zhu Feng actually had to be threatened, but he didn't think he had the ability to take Zhu Houzhao out of the palace.
Zhu Houzhao said: "As long as you agree, I will teach you later!"
"This..." Zhu Feng still hesitated.
At this moment, Gao Feng and others also saw Zhu Youtang's arrival, and reminded him: "His Royal Highness, Young Master, Your Majesty has arrived at the East Palace and is looking over here."
Zhu Feng became nervous immediately upon hearing this, and the hand holding the goose quill trembled.
The emperor asked him to plant medicine, but it has not been completed yet. The emperor has come in person. The prince has threatened to destroy his whole family in the future. How will the emperor punish him now?
"Your Highness, it's time to take the medicine."
Zhu Feng walked over.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "You agreed, right? Come on then!"
…
…
Not far away, Zhu Youtang witnessed the previous scene.
Even Zhu Youtang was surprised. He didn't show up, but just stood by the door and took a look, as if he was a teacher who came to catch a naughty kid who was dishonest in class and peeked through the window.
I actually saw the "obedient and sensible" side of my son.
When Dai Yi saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that you are worrying too much. Do you think His Royal Highness knows etiquette?"
"Um."
Zhu Youtang also nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Zhijie has some abilities."
Just as he was talking, the medication over there was finished. Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth in pain because he was pricked with needles three times.
But he didn't look too abnormal because he knew his father was watching.
After everything was over, Zhu Youtang walked out.
"See Your Majesty!"
The eunuchs in the chamber saluted first, and then Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Fengcai stepped forward to salute the emperor.
Zhu Youtang said with a smile on his face: "No need to be formal! Did the Zhu Qing family give the prince any medicine?"
Zhu Feng was glad in her heart that she had finally negotiated a deal with the prince and settled the matter of planting medicine. What would happen if the emperor came and saw that he had not completed his errand?
Little did he know that it was precisely because of the emperor's arrival that Zhu Houzhao agreed to plant medicine and took the opportunity to get some benefits from him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the medicine has been taken." Zhu Feng said.
"very good!"
Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Houzhao looked innocent and cute, looking at Zhu Youtang with a bright smile like a child and said: "Father, I think this Zhu Feng is really good. He can play with me. He is quite knowledgeable. I would like to see him often." Keep him by your side and ask him more about things outside the palace."
"ah?"
Zhu Feng screamed out in surprise.
No wonder this guy said there was a way for him to help him get out of the palace. Are feelings waiting here? You say you are knowledgeable, does that have even the slightest bit to do with me?
What kind of Feng Shui treasure do you think your place is? Surrounded by eunuchs and maids, he was completely isolated from the colorful world outside the palace walls. Staying here would make you depressed to death.
He was about to put up a fight, but when he saw the meaningful look in Zhu Houzhao's sideways look, and the loving fatherly and filial piety between Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Feng did not dare to speak casually.
