faint [rebirth]

Chapter 21

Empress Shen has already been sent to the imperial mausoleum.

The palace suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Chengguang has always been a forceful person, since he asked many concubines to go to the Buddhist hall to pray, naturally he refused to see any of them.

As for the Empress Dowager who was younger than him... Emperor Chengguang snorted coldly. He only felt that if the Empress Dowager left behind by the late emperor was more honest and resigned to his fate, he would be more "filial" appropriately.In the past, the Empress Dowager looked at her kindness and justice, and treated the princes and grandchildren without too much bias. Seeing this, Emperor Chengguang was willing to respect her a little bit.

But when Xiao Junye cleared out the people in the East Palace last time, he cleared out several people who were placed and entered by the Queen Mother.

It didn't matter too much, Emperor Chengguang also released people in the East Palace, as long as the Queen Mother didn't mess around, and the people who were released were just rough clerks, they would be released as soon as they were released.

However, Xiao Junye's methods were fierce, so that everyone reported to each other, and also inquired about their family background, parents, brothers, sisters, and juniors, whether they became rich or sick, why did those slaves refuse to confess?Why don't you confess the mothers around the queen mother, saying that the mothers asked them to sprinkle a little powder made from poisonous mushrooms in the prince's diet every day, and mix it in the soup, so that the amount is small, and the prince is already In illness, even if it occurs, they cannot be blamed.

And there are some advantages to doing this, because the prince's eunuchs who try the dishes every day are rotated, so those little eunuchs only eat a little, and nothing will happen.

But before they acted, they got a new order to give up taking action on the prince's food, but to take the poisonous mushroom powder in two shots and put it in the eighth princess's food.

Although Xiao Junye is capable, but in the end there is a difference in seniority and status. He can only find out the news here, but he can't go beyond Emperor Chengguang and the Queen Mother to arrest people around the Queen Mother for questioning.The only way to find out the other group of people who took out the poisonous mushrooms is by asking others.

And Emperor Chengguang, who heard the results of Xiao Junye's investigation, thought for a moment, but he didn't attack the nun next to the queen mother, but directly ordered the queen mother to enter the small Buddhist hall together with many concubines.

Originally, although the queen mother was younger than Emperor Chengguang, she was the queen mother after all. Emperor Chengguang was not good enough to force his "aunt" to be grounded. The person was locked in smoothly.

In this way, since people are sent to the small Buddhist hall, there is naturally no reason to go back on their word and bring people back when the time is up.

Thinking so, Emperor Chengguang listened to the imperial physician report the situation of the eighth prince, said "hmm", and said after a while: "In that case, then the imperial physician will continue to be in charge of the eighth prince's illness. No matter what, there is no need to Let the Eighth Prince's disease spread, and we must do our best to heal the Eighth Prince."

Doctor Wang was heartbroken when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes, I must abide by the holy will. It's just, it's just that the eighth prince is only a three-year-old child now, and he keeps calling the word mother and concubine. I'm afraid that there will be no birth mother around to encourage me." Consolation, the eighth prince can't make it to the end. After all, ordinary adults can't bear the pain of smallpox, let alone a child?"

Emperor Chengguang was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and then said: "It is rare for the late emperor to entrust me with a dream, so I naturally want to make the late emperor's wish come true. As for the eighth prince... in this world, when will there be a reason for the late emperor to be uneasy because of a child?" ?”

Imperial Physician Wang was submissive at the time, saying yes again and again, and never dared to ask Concubine Shen to take care of the Eighth Prince.

After Emperor Chengguang remained silent for a while, Imperial Physician Wang stood up and left under the signal of his servant.

After leaving Xuanshi Hall, Imperial Physician Wang walked in the courtyard, then calmed down, raised his sleeves, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Afterwards, he continued to go to the Prince's Hospital—although he was sent to treat the Eighth Prince's smallpox because he had suffered from smallpox when he was young and had good medical skills. His Majesty can report the situation of the Eighth Prince once, but that's all.

So after that, he will continue to go to the Prince's Courtyard.

Because he had to pass through the East Palace to go to the Imperial Palace, by coincidence, Imperial Physician Wang saw the old lady Wei Yanghou and his wife who were waiting outside the East Palace.

Physician Wang lowered his head, thinking in his heart that he had never seen it before and just walked away.

Who would have thought that Imperial Physician Wang wanted to do it and never saw it, but Mrs. Wei Yanghou was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "It was Imperial Physician Wang. Imperial Physician Wang is well. May I ask the eighth prince, how is he doing now? How is the diet?" Have you spoken? Have your hands been wrapped, has your face been scratched? But... miss your empress and the prince?"

Doctor Wang hated that he came at the wrong time, but after all, Wei Yanghou belonged to the family of the crown prince and the eighth prince, and Wei Yanghou was regarded as highly regarded by His Majesty, so he could only answer one by one after hearing the words.

Just the last question... Imperial Physician Wang paused for a moment, and could only perfunctorily say: "The empress is the mother and concubine of the eighth prince, and the crown prince is the elder brother of the eighth prince. Naturally, the eighth prince has nothing to think about."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei Yanghou cried twice after hearing this, and when she finished crying, she said: "The poor eighth prince! Doctor Wang, since the eighth prince misses the prince so much, and the eighth prince is sick, then, why don't you be like the king?" The imperial physician will follow us to tell the prince himself that the Eighth Prince misses the prince?"

Imperial Physician Wang had listened casually before, but immediately refused after hearing the words: "Mrs. Hou probably didn't know about it. Your Majesty had issued an order a long time ago, but anyone who serves the eighth prince's close relatives is not allowed to come within ten feet of the prince and the prince's close relatives. Old man After guarding the eighth prince for many days, how can I go to see the prince?"

Mrs. Wei Yanghou's face froze, it was obvious that she did not expect that the Holy Majesty would love the prince so much.

After that, Imperial Physician Wang looked at Mrs. Wei Yanghou a few more times, and said: "Speaking of which, Ma'am is kind and motherly, if you think that Ling Qianjin is sick, she will definitely be by your side day and night. Since that's the case..." Imperial Physician Wang slightly With a smile, "The old man just advises Madam not to really enter the East Palace. Otherwise, according to His Majesty's love for the crown prince, even if the crown prince is fine, His Majesty will definitely be displeased with the Hou Mansion. The old man said nothing Hereby, farewell."

Imperial Physician Wang walked very fast, and by the time Mrs. Wei Yanghou realized it, the person who had seen Imperial Physician Wang had already disappeared.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou felt annoyed for a moment, and wanted to help the old lady into the East Palace.

"Didn't you hear what the doctor Wang said just now?" The old lady shook off her daughter-in-law's hand and said coldly, "If you have lived enough in wealth, you can ask yourself to come down, and I will take care of you." Choose a good wife for my son. However, if you want the entire Hou Mansion to be buried with you...then don't blame the Hou Mansion for being so hard on you!"

Mrs. Wei Yanghou was stunned suddenly.

After the old lady finished speaking, she saw the little eunuch come to invite her in. The old lady straightened her clothes, sighed deeply, and walked in.

After staying for half a day, the old lady finally came out of the East Palace, she looked several years older.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou hurriedly stepped forward to inquire. The old lady only took a deep look at her, but she had already made up her mind - Mrs. Wei Yanghou gave birth to her son and kept the filial piety of the old Marquis. Can't rest.However, it is not impossible to accept a few beautiful concubines for Wei Yanghou and welcome one and two concubines.

Originally, the house was peaceful, and the old lady didn't want to make her daughter-in-law feel bad.But now, both the daughter-in-law and the son obviously have thoughts that they shouldn't have. It is obvious that she wants her daughter-in-law to persuade her son. The second is——Take a step back, even if the persuasion fails, she has someone close to her son and knows about his actions.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou didn't really know what the old lady was thinking until a month later.

However, since the old lady went to the East Palace, the prince went to His Majesty's bedroom that day, knelt for an hour, and fainted on the ground before being allowed to enter by His Majesty.That night, Concubine Shen was allowed to be released from the small Buddhist hall.

It's just that Concubine Shen didn't have time to be happy, when she saw the Eighth Prince, she saw that the Eighth Prince was scratching her face in pain!

Concubine Shen immediately cried out.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

Three months later, the Eighth Prince's body recovered, but his face was full of pockmarks.

Concubine Shen's face was also scratched by the Eighth Prince with two shallow scars.

When Xiao Wuchen heard about this, he was in the yard learning how to keep healthy with Xiao Junye.He doesn't want to learn to be like Xiao Junye, but for the sake of his health, it may not be a bad thing to only learn posture.

Xiao Junye stood aside, expressionless, his eyes were like a deep pool, and he couldn't see the bottom of his eyes.

However, every time Xiao Wuchen's movements were wrong, or there were small errors, Xiao Junye would immediately step forward and "personally" "correct" Xiao Wuchen's movements.

Xiao Wuchen didn't notice any difference, so he obediently let the emperor's uncle move.However, he still had some doubts in his heart—the emperor's uncle's voice may not be very good today, otherwise, why is it always hoarse?

The two fought in the yard for a while, Xiao Junye saw that Xiao Wuchen was showing signs of fatigue, and immediately stopped him from fighting. Instead, they sent someone to bring water, and the two sat opposite each other to rest.

Xiao Wuchen was very tired, he didn't want to say a word, he just held the honey water and stared at the yard in a daze.

Xiao Junye originally wanted to find some topics to talk to Xiao Wuchen, but seeing Xiao Wuchen like this, he was stunned.

With such a tense and stern face, he looked at Xiao Wuchen expressionlessly.

All the palace people: "..." This King Zhao is so strange!Only the crown prince can withstand such a serious "glaring" from King Zhao!

However, no matter what everyone thought, Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Junye started to be in a daze at the same time.

Until the servant next to Emperor Chengguang came with the imperial decree.

"Congratulations to King Zhao, congratulations to King Zhao, Your Majesty has granted your request a few days ago, saying that you are allowed to go to the border of the Huns within half a month, to make me happy and eradicate the barbarians!"

Xiao Wuchen suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Junye.
