fake prince

Chapter 997
Qi Wangfu

Ma Shunde got off the carriage in front of Zhaobi, and the accompanying guards also got off the horse. Before they got up the steps, they heard a commotion, looked sideways, but saw not far away, the door rang, the torches were all lit, and a hundred households came out , there are eight armored soldiers lined up on the left and right, and what is even more frightening is that the archers behind the armored soldiers are ready to shoot.

"Forgive me, it's none of my business..." More yamen guards came out, and a few were dragged out covered in blood, one of them moaned and begged for mercy.

"Eunuch, this is the shrine near the palace..." Seeing that Ma Shunde was puzzled, a guard explained softly.

Ma Shunde suddenly realized that he was a eunuch close to the emperor, so he naturally knew that although the emperor didn't like the arrogance of the king of Qi, he was very close. In addition, the emperor's heirs were actually not rich. Now, the king of Qi was assassinated, and the emperor was naturally furious.

"When the emperor was angry, he buried millions of corpses."

Now it is only hundreds of thousands of people involved, let alone these lowly people, even if they are all wronged, so what?Seeing the soldiers dragging the people from the shrine to the outside, some of them were obviously beheaded, but Ma Shunde turned a blind eye and only looked at the palace.

Due to this delay, an official of the royal family got the news, rushed out and kowtowed.

Ma Shunde didn't speak, but a guard said: "My father-in-law, according to the emperor's order, visit King Qi."

Seeing that Ma Shunde's expression was not very good, the officials of the royal family murmured for a while, and did not dare to say anything, but just kowtowed: "I will lead you in, my father-in-law."

Saying so, he opened the gate and led Ma Shunde in. The garden of Prince Qi's Mansion is very large, he walked along the road, and arrived at the main room along the pebble corridor. Before he arrived, he heard shouts from inside.

"My lord, my lord, wake up!"

The people inside shouted to the sky and the earth, just listening to the voice made one feel a little creepy.

It's not that those people shouted so sadly, but what this shout represents, people can't think deeply after hearing it, and they will feel scared when they think deeply.

As soon as Ma Shunde heard the movement, he said badly to himself, and broke out in cold sweat immediately.

I heard that King Qi's injury was stable before moving back to the palace from the outside, but looking at the current situation, it seems that it is not?
Could it be that there is really a serious problem with King Qi's health?
Ma Shunde didn't have a benevolent face, but now he was frowning, looking more gloomy and scary, and the officials of the palace who accompanied him in couldn't help but shuddered, and his face turned pale—didn't you hear that the king is in trouble just now?

Before he had time to think about it, he heard Ma Shunde ask: "What's going on, what happened, what happened to the prince?"

Ma Shunde suppressed his panic. He was an eunuch, and he was not afraid of suspicion. Lying on the couch, although his face was ugly, Ma Shunde immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

He was breathing, but he was not well-proportioned, and he could smell a strong fragrance of medicine. The princess leaned over and fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful.

Ma Shunde didn't bother, watched it for a while, and asked: "Are all the imperial doctors inside?"

"Yes, several imperial physicians are here." The official of the palace replied timidly.

"Where is Doctor Xu?"

Ma Shunde was asking, when he saw a familiar young imperial doctor turn around with a sad face, and immediately motioned to come over, but when Xu imperial doctor saw Ma Shunde, he complained in his heart, but went over and saluted.

"Xu Yingjie, were you taking a pulse inside just now?" Ma Shunde waved his hand to make the officials of the palace go away, and only let Imperial Doctor Xu stand under the eaves, asking bluntly.

This mere rank nine imperial physician also paid homage to his dock, so naturally there is no need to be polite.

Xu Yingjie's lips were a little bitter, but he just replied: "Yes, just now, the next official is here."

"Then tell the truth, how is King Qi's illness, and what's going on now?"

This question was straightforward, which was different from Ma Shunde's previous style of doing things. It can be seen that after these two days, Ma Shunde no longer cared about those eccentricities, and only wanted to finish his errands as soon as possible.

"This..." Xu Yingjie hesitated for a moment. Although Ma Shunde was a high-ranking and powerful man, offending Ma Shunde would inevitably be punished, but King Qi was even more vicious!

If he told about King Qi's physical condition, he worried that he would be liquidated afterwards.

Seeing Xu Yingjie like this, Ma Shunde felt angry in his heart, and said coldly: "Our family is inquiring by order, if there is any deception, you know what the result will be."

Xu Yingjie's face turned pale at Ma Shunde's sullen words, his lips trembled, and he said hastily: "How dare you, father-in-law, this is not the place to talk...you have to go there to talk."

Xu Yingjie saw that this was the place where people came and went, even if no one was there now, he was really worried and signaled Ma Shunde to go to the small pavilion not far away.

Ma Shunde was very impatient, but looking at the other party's expression, he was also worried that there might be something big going on inside, so he frowned and turned his head: "If you don't know much, and still play tricks on our family like this, you know what the consequences will be."

Of course Xu Yingjie knew, it wasn't just because he knew that he was even more afraid, he cried out in his heart, on the way to the small pavilion, every step was like being on the point of a knife.

When we got to the kiosk, there was no one around, and then we whispered: "Grandpa Ma, it's not that I was careful, it's really important, it's not good for others to know, if it leaks from us to too many people, not only I, even you, Eunuch Ma, may also be hated by King Qi."

A wounded man who asked about his injuries was in danger of being hated by King Qi?Ma Shunde's eyelids twitched, and his eyes froze when he stared at this person, forgiving that the little imperial doctor would not dare to lie to himself, he was usually smart and knew the seriousness, if it wasn't for this job he couldn't get rid of, he really didn't want to continue asking.

But I still have to ask. Thinking of this, Ma Shunde said as if nothing had happened: "Tell me quickly, what's going on!"

Only then did Xu Yingjie look serious, and he told what happened just now. Ma Shunde frowned when he heard King Qi faint. , was about to speak, when Xu Yingjie looked around furtively, and said in a low voice.

"Originally, we couldn't check it too carefully, but just now King Qi passed out, and I got permission from the princess, so I checked it carefully."

"King Qi's injury is not fatal, but it hurts the root, and there will be many future troubles. Not only may the hands and feet be weak, but it may also... maybe..."

Although I am determined to say it, but when it comes to this, I still hesitate.

"Maybe what?" Ma Shunde asked sharply.

Xu Yingjie closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It may also hinder life span and...yang energy."

Harm life expectancy?

It means that after this injury, King Qi's lifespan was shortened?
Ma Shunde couldn't help shrinking his eyes, and his face changed drastically. Hearing these words, his heart skipped a beat, and what made his heart even more uneasy was the second half.

"Yang Qi, what do you mean?" Although Ma Shunde had a premonition, he didn't react for a moment, but asked sharply.

Xu Yingjie let out a "hey" in his heart, and could only bite the bullet and explain: "It's just...it's just a little...affecting the heirs!"

This!
"Stop!" As soon as these words came out, Ma Shunde immediately understood, with a gloomy expression, he signaled Xu Yingjie to stop first, and stood there by himself, calming down.

Then he said: "I didn't understand what you said later. You mean, His Highness King Qi, his injury will affect...affect his heirs? How much will it affect?"

Xu Yingjie looked down at the ground, obviously not daring to speak.

What did Ma Shunde not understand after seeing this scene, it was so big that Xu Yingjie didn't dare to say it!
Ma Shunde's fingers trembled slightly, could it be that he didn't lift it?
Isn't this the same as your own eunuch?

Ma Shunde opened his mouth wide, fully understanding why Xu Yingjie didn't dare to speak just now, because he was worried about King Qi.

Since ancient times, there have been no disfigured and disabled people in the emperor.

Between Wei and Zheng, besides the Taizu, there were also heroes. A hero, Deng Yuanbo, rose up and swept through several provinces.

Taizu was overjoyed when he heard that, and said, "I'm lonely and worry-free."

Sure enough, the subordinates who were originally united as one, fell apart almost in a short time, because everyone thought that Deng Yuanbo had no destiny, so they left one after another.

If the king of Qi became a heavenly eunuch, it would be fine if he was over fifty years old. How can he become a great treasure at this age?

Not to mention, King Qi has few heirs now, only two sons and one daughter, so thin, how can he inherit the artifact?
