Shen Dingzhu frowned.
The emperor found three sons to test medicine for him? Why? Could it be that he just wanted to see who among them dared to risk his life for him?
In his previous life, Prince Ming was promoted because he dared to test medicine for the emperor. After the crown prince was deposed, Prince Ming became the emperor's preferred new crown prince.
Shen Dingzhu couldn't let this opportunity slip away from Xiao Langyan's hands.
The old eunuch had already led his men to the door. She thought about it a thousand times, struggled and regretted several times, and finally made up her mind and chased him out.
"Eunuch, please stay." Shen Dingzhu stepped forward and said gently, "Can I taste this medicine on behalf of the prince?"
The old eunuch and Huaishou were both shocked: "You?"
Shen Dingzhu pretended to be honored: "The prince is busy on official duties and will come back soon. If he knew that he missed the emperor's intention, he would definitely be upset. I will taste it for him. When the prince comes back, I can also taste it like this." Explain your thoughts to him."
The old eunuch narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time.
After a moment, he raised his head and saw that the imperial guards were outside and closed the door.
Shen Bi and Cheng Hui, who were standing outside, were startled and had a bad feeling.
After the door closed, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the old eunuch's voice was low and sinister.
"Aunt Shen, you are very smart. You should have guessed what this decoction is. The emperor is ill and needs a powerful medicine, but the medicine is complicated and even the imperial doctor is not sure whether it will work."
"Therefore, the emperor sent the Zajia family and the rest of the imperial eunuchs to the three princes and asked them to test the medicine. You know, it is only natural for a son to worry about his father. You are a woman, not the son of a dragon or the grandson of a dragon. , how can I help the emperor test the medicine?"
Shen Dingzhu lowered his head slightly and said in a steady voice: "I am not afraid to tell my father-in-law frankly. Since I am a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, I should share the worries of the prince and the emperor."
"What's more, my father-in-law also said that there are also imperial guards from Prince Ming and Prince Xuan's side. If they try the medicine and the prince does not take the medicine, I am afraid that the emperor will blame my father-in-law for not doing things well. Therefore, I came to try this decoction. For the father-in-law and the prince, this is the best of both worlds."
The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, completely moved by her words.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Aunt Shen, you have to think carefully. There is aconite in this medicine. It is highly toxic and the dosage is quite large. Even the imperial doctor is not sure about it. Do you really dare to take it?"
Shen Dingzhu stretched out his hand: "Please, father-in-law, pass the medicine bowl to me."
This is where the decision is made.
The old eunuch nodded faintly: "Okay, then I'll help you. However, if something happens, the Zajia family will not be responsible. It's all of your own free will."
Xiao Langyan's carriage stopped at an inconspicuous corner.
In the car, Fu Yunqiu was crying profusely. Although his face was covered with a veil, it was not difficult to see that there were red flesh pimples on both ends of his cheeks below the nose that were difficult to ignore. They were connected in two, which was very shocking.
She had told the whole story in tears.
Recently, she has been taking a banned drug. Legend has it that after taking this drug, she can emit a natural body fragrance and make men completely obsessed with her.
Fu Yunqiu wanted to use this to bind the prince, so he insisted on taking it. Unexpectedly, early this morning, an ugly little bump appeared!
"Tomorrow is my birthday party. Your Majesty, what should I do? If the prince knew, he would not want me..." Fu Yunqiu cried so hard that his hands did not dare to touch the knot on his face.
Xiao Langyan's face was gloomy, and his thin eyes were full of wind and rain.
"You are too ambitious. It is your own fault that you have become like this. I have warned you a long time ago not to have any wishful thinking, so as not to harm yourself."
"Now that you have become like this, what can I do to help you? Don't forget, Fu Yunqiu, the affection between us is countless!"
Fu Yunqiu's face turned pale and he raised his head: "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything. I just hope that you can help me because I spent the days you were in confinement talking to you outside the yard. Just once, please!”
"I really can't just ruin it. Otherwise, the end will be miserable. I might as well just die." She sobbed softly.
Xiao Langyan took a deep breath and gave instructions: "Go to the other courtyard and invite Jiang Manzi here."
In order to prepare in advance to deal with the emperor's condition, Xiao Langyan had borrowed a miracle doctor from Shen Dingzhu. Jiang Manzi had been living in a separate hospital in the capital arranged for him by Xiao Langyan.
Chen Heng picked up the car badge of Prince Ning's Mansion outside, then drove into the alley in a low-key manner and headed towards the other courtyard.
at this time.
Shen Dingzhu had finished taking the medicine, but within a moment, she began to sweat all over her body. Her heart seemed to be burning, and beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
She had already returned to her room, lying on the couch, feeling her body becoming weaker and weaker.
The old imperial eunuch and Huai Shou guarded her door with the imperial army.
Whether this medicine is effective, whether it is highly toxic, and whether it will cause death remains to be seen.
So, they have to stay here.
Cheng Hui and Shen Bi were at the door of the courtyard, wanting to go in but couldn't.
Shen Bi paced back and forth anxiously: "What should we do? The prince hasn't come back yet, and they won't let us see the master."
Cheng Hui pursed her lips and pretended to care: "How about you go out quietly to report the news? If you can find Eunuch Xu Shou, you will definitely know where the prince is. I heard that Eunuch Xu Shou specially invited Xiu Mu today. , went to the city to visit his wife and children."
Shen Bi hesitated for a moment, and Cheng Hui urged in a low voice: "Why are you hesitating? If the master dies, what will the two of us do?"
So, Shen Bi gritted her teeth and said: "Then you stay here. If you can go in to see the master later, quickly see how she is doing. I will go to Eunuch Xu Shou for help!"
She left in a hurry, Cheng Hui's eyes flashed with coldness, and she didn't stay for a while before turning around and leaving.
The helpless Shen Dingzhu had a mixture of cold and heat all over his body, and his lips were white.
She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, shivering, and tried to shout: "Water, water..."
However, she found that she was gradually speechless.
Shen Dingzhu maintained the last of his consciousness, forced himself to sit up, and moved to the table step by step with difficulty.
She picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and wrote down the words, wanting to leave something for Xiao Langyan.
Before trying the medicine, she had thought that there was nothing wrong with the bowl of medicine in her previous life, but since Huaishou was the prince, Xiao Langyan would be poisoned if it was not guaranteed.
If she accidentally drank it, she would die.
Shen Dingzhu was gambling, betting on the chance of survival, and making a bold request.
She struggled to write a few lines under the paper, and then placed a book on top.
After that, she could no longer control her body's weakness and collapsed to the ground.
When night falls, the cold wind blows the dead branches, and heavy snow falls outside.
Xiao Langyan's tall figure hurried back to the mansion. The servants were silent and the atmosphere was serious.
The old eunuch and the others had left long ago.
Xu Shou hurried back and said to Xiao Langyan: "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly. I only heard about it just after I came back..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Langyan hurried to Shen Dingzhu's room with a gloomy expression.
When the concierge opened the door, Cheng Hui knelt on the footrest and cried until her tears faded.
On the bed, Shen Dingzhu's face was deathly pale, lying quietly as if asleep.
"Prince, Master, she..." Cheng Hui choked with sobs.
