"The shopkeeper's!"
"Have you ever seen a group of guys show up with a doll?!"
The leader shouted at the shopkeeper.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly bent down and trotted to the door.
"Several officials have not seen this group of people!"
"If you see me, tell the officials immediately!"
The shopkeeper said humbly.
In this era, their status as businessmen is really pitiful, especially for these soldiers. Even if they destroy this inn, there is no way to deal with it.
"Just listen to me!"
"These people are prisoners of the imperial court! Once you see them, report them to the official immediately!"
"Whoever dares to protect us will kill the nine tribes!"
The leading man glanced around the hall, said viciously to everyone, and then walked out.
At this time, Princess Yongtai, although her back was to the door, was still pale with fear.
Unexpectedly, Cao Kang's people caught up here so quickly.
"It's okay, relax!"
"Come on, have a drink, I'll scare you."
Zhang Bao smiled, pushed the wine glass in front of Princess Yongtai, and gently patted Princess Yongtai's hand.
Princess Yongtai breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
As a burning feeling flowed down his throat, the feeling of fear just now gradually got better.
But after seeing the wine glass in her hand, Princess Yongtai's face suddenly turned red.
I didn't pay attention just now. After finishing the drink, I realized that this wine glass was the one Zhang Bao drank from just now.
Doesn't that mean...
Princess Yongtai's face was very hot.
To be honest, I have never been so close to a man since I was a child. I still hold a grudge against Zhang Bao for being molested before. I didn’t expect to share a wine glass again. This is really...
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Just one drink and that's it?"
"Then you'd better stop drinking, or you'll become drunk in a while."
Zhang Bao looked at Princess Yongtai's face and neck and turned visibly red, thinking she was allergic to alcohol.
"No...it's okay."
Princess Yongtai shook her head, not knowing what to say.
"By the way, have you appeared often in Xiazhou before? If others saw you, would they be able to recognize who you are?"
Zhang Bao asked quietly to Princess Yongtai.
"Recognize me?"
"How can that be possible..."
"It's not like you don't know my identity. I just have a name. Maybe there are people who know me in the capital, but outside the boundaries of the capital, how can anyone know me?"
Princess Yongtai said mockingly.
"That's good. We'll go out for a walk later. If I'm alone, I'll be somewhat conspicuous."
"The current situation is coming sooner than expected. We still need to go out and take a look."
Zhang Bao said to Princess Yongtai.
"okay!"
Princess Yongtai nodded and said.
Zhang Bao was very surprised.
"Why have you become so obedient recently?"
"It seems that I have to be a little harsher on you, otherwise, I won't be able to beat you for three days!"
Zhang Bao smiled.
Princess Yongtai rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything else.
Not a moment.
The waiter came in with a doctor, a skinny old man. The shopkeeper took the money and immediately sent the waiter to fetch someone.
Zhang Bao did not delay and immediately led the doctor to the little emperor's room.
Seeing someone coming in, the little emperor was a little scared.
It wasn't until Princess Yongtai came in that she relaxed a little.
The old doctor didn't ask any questions and went directly to the bedside to check the little emperor's pulse.
After a while, the old doctor took back his hand.
"This young master, did the young master suffer from dysentery or something like that before?"
The old doctor asked Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was stunned and couldn't tell that the old doctor in the small town in front of him was really capable and could accurately tell the little emperor's illness.
"right!"
"It's true that I've eaten something unclean before."
Zhang Bao nodded.
"Well, there are no other major problems. I just suffered a bit of a fright and didn't get enough rest. My body is too weak."
"I'll prescribe two tranquilizers. Just pay attention to rest."
The old doctor said slowly.
Hearing what the old doctor said, Princess Yongtai also breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, the little emperor has been so weak, and Princess Yongtai is really afraid that something will go wrong.
"In that case, there is Doctor Lao."
Zhang Bao raised his hands and said to the old doctor.
Unexpectedly, when the old doctor handed the written prescription to Zhang Bao, he gently tugged on Zhang Bao's sleeve twice, and Zhang Bao frowned.
"Give the waiter this recipe and let him grab the medicine and decoct it."
"I'll send the doctor out."
Zhang Bao handed the prescription to the person next to him and followed the old doctor out.
"what happened?"
"Did you have something to hide just now?"
Zhang Bao asked the old doctor.
"This young master, there are some things that it is inconvenient to say in front of my wife and young master just now."
The old doctor said calmly.
"Um?"
"Isn't the situation the same as what you just said?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised, looking at the old doctor in front of him, his expression was not very good.
"The young master's condition is correct, but...in addition to these symptoms, the young master seems to have been poisoned."
The old doctor said slowly.
"Poisoned?"
"how come?"
Zhang Bao was very shocked. Could it be the will-o'-the-wisp mushroom from before?
"It seems that the toxin is chronic. It is not formed overnight. According to me, it should be accumulated over many years, at least a year."
"Now that the pulse is obvious, if you keep giving the young master something to eat, you should stop as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save it."
The old doctor shook his head.
Zhang Bao's heart sank completely.
"In your opinion, what would normally cause this?"
Zhang Bao asked.
"I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have some knowledge. Generally speaking, children from poor families will develop symptoms if they eat rotten vegetable leaves or other things for a long time. But I think the young master's skin is fair and tender, so he should not be a child from a poor family."
"So I venture to conclude that it is most likely caused by something like cinnabar."
"No matter what, try not to give him these external things."
The old doctor said to Zhang Bao.
"I see."
"Thank you very much."
After listening to the old doctor's words, Zhang Bao thought for a while and nodded.
After seeing the old doctor off, Zhang Bao looked back at the little emperor's room upstairs and shook his head helplessly.
I didn't expect that being an emperor is really not a good thing. Without enough strength, in such a position, I really don't know how to die.
You don't need to think about this kind of thing to know.
It must be Cao Kang's hand.
According to the old doctor, it has probably been a while. It seems that this Cao Kang has taken action a long time ago.
No wonder Cao Kang was not very anxious about usurping the throne. It turned out that he had already made arrangements, and it was estimated that when the emperor himself died, he would be able to make arrangements.
It is said that the imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times. In fact, in this position, it is a kind of sadness in itself.
