Rebirth of marriage

Prince Xiao's Mansion.

The three doctors tried their best to make the soup prepared by Wang Yuanpeng himself, but they could not let Xiao Wang swallow any of it. Instead, they wet several handkerchiefs and stained Xiao Wang's middle coat.

He boiled and fed the medicine in this way several times, but all failed. He was forced to force-feed the medicine and worried that it would accidentally enter the trachea, which directly killed Xiaowang.

In the end, they had no idea and had to give up the decoction for the time being. The acupuncture was also useless, and the three of them were very discouraged.

Fortunately, the pulse condition did not deteriorate further.

The emperor did not explain anything before leaving, and the three of them did not dare to leave. They had to go to the next door yard to discuss or read medical books to see if they could think of any other treatment methods.

The Royal Court ruled that he had treated King Xiao because of a moment of kindness. Doctor Liu had contact with Prince Xiao because of Prince Gong, and Doctor Zhao came to Prince Xiao's Mansion under the emperor's order. The relationship between the three of them and Prince Xiao Not even close,

But the sudden change in Xiao Wang's pulse condition clearly meant that someone had done something, most likely the third and fourth princes. But they had no evidence and couldn't even find out how the manipulation was done. If Xiao Wang dies, the emperor will They will not be offended by this, no one can say for sure, they can only try their best to keep King Xiao alive.

After the imperial doctors left Gu Xiao's courtyard and would not come back for a short time, Mo Limo stood guard outside the hospital, and Gu Xiao slowly woke up.

He said to Xie Jiu helplessly, "Xiao Shu's paper only said that taking this medicine will make you feel like falling asleep, and no one can wake you up if you don't want to. It didn't say that your pulse would scare them like this."

So much so that they gave me medicine, gave me needles, and had my clothes changed countless times. It felt really bad.

It's like being "pressed on the bed by a ghost" as a child. The body can't move, the eyes can't open, the mouth can't speak, but the brain can perceive everything clearly. Only by trying its best to concentrate can one be freed.

The antidote to this poison is to concentrate your thoughts and circulate the internal energy throughout your body to restore it to its original state.

When he heard the man say that Jiu'er would be buried with him, he decided to wake up. But after hearing Jiu'er's words, he lost his mind and decided to continue to cooperate. He let the imperial doctor toss some more before he woke up.

Xie Jiu handed him a glass of water distressedly.

Lin Shu began to study poisons after being tricked by the Yang family into using two drugs and almost selling them to Jiangnan, and thus became very interested.

Gu Xiao was attentive and discovered her interest. After getting to know the old censor and his wife, he gave her an ancient book on poison making that he had collected.

The medicine Gu Xiao took was developed by Lin Shu based on the ancient book after returning to Beijing.

Lin Shu had no one to teach her, so she relied on her own research and exploration. Usually if she succeeded in developing something, she would give some to her and Gu Xiao.

After bidding farewell to Lin Shu today, she still felt uneasy, so she asked Li Sheng to come to Prince Xiao's Mansion to explore the situation.

Before Li Sheng went out, he heard the news from the hidden stakes, and the third prince and the fourth prince went to Prince Xiao's Mansion together.

They have never gotten along with Gu Xiao. In the past, they either tempted or made trouble.

Just before Lin Shu left, he gave her some medicine and asked her to give it to Gu Xiao.

The effects and antidote were all written on the paper. She saw that it was harmless to the body, so she asked Li Sheng to take the medicine and take a shortcut to Prince Xiao's Mansion first.

in case the emergency.

Gu Xiao also guessed that the third prince and the others would definitely come to test him, and since he did not want to be manipulated by the emperor, he took the medicine and hid it from the emperor.

Unexpectedly, this medicine could make people suffer from severe pulses. The effect was far beyond what Lin Shu had written. Not to mention the imperial doctors were frightened, even she was frightened, and she hurriedly sent wooden stakes to chase Lin Shu.

The wooden pile rushed away and came back in a hurry. What she brought back was that Lin Shu said that the medicine was called Turtle Breath, which is the medicine for suspended animation, but she had not yet successfully developed it, and could not achieve complete suspended animation, so it could only be like this now. .

The emperor asked Gu Xiao to pretend to be dying. She thought it was just in use. After taking Turtle Breath, his body was in a dormant state. Acupuncture and other treatment methods had no effect on the dormant body and would not damage his original health. Drinking medicine is decided by Gu Xiao's own mind.

For such many reactions, Lin Shu only summed it up with four words: "It's like falling asleep". He thanked the wine and couldn't laugh or cry. Fortunately, it was indeed harmless to the body, but it was painful for Gu Xiao.

However, I did not expect that the emperor would come to Xiaowang Mansion in person.

"Why let him marry Lao San and Cao Yunjiao?" Gu Xiao asked after taking a sip of water.

Xie Jiu pulled him up and walked around, and replied, "Miss Cao Ba, Cao Zhicheng's youngest legitimate daughter, is fourteen this year. My people learned from the maids in her courtyard that Cao Zhicheng trained her as a future queen.

Every day Cao Zhicheng would call her to the study and teach her for an hour in person. Miss Cao Ba was prepared by him for the third prince. "

The Cao family is very ambitious and still hopes that the new emperor and queen will come from their Cao family, and they even want more. Otherwise, why would Cao Zhicheng teach his daughter personally.

Cao Zhicheng is the current head of the Cao family and the chief assistant of the dynasty. If he has a legitimate daughter, his daughter should take precedence. This year, the third prince, Cao Zhicheng's other two legitimate daughters have married, and only the eighth lady is left. Matching in age too.

If the emperor suddenly gives Cao Yunjiao a second wife in marriage, breaking Cao Zhicheng's original plan, it may also fuel the ambitions of the second master Cao. He now looks after his eldest brother in everything, but if his daughter becomes the third prince's concubine, she may even be the future queen. .

Will he still obey Cao Zhicheng in everything like this?

Judging from that day's contact, Cao Yunjiao was arrogant and had no authority, and could not help the third prince.

Also, if Song Nianru’s dream is shattered, what will she do?

If Marquis Mingyuan knew that she had assassinated Prince Xiao, causing Nihuang to be unable to marry Prince Xiao, and the third prince had failed, what would happen to the two people who were working together?

They dog ​​eat dog, which may help them find out more of the sinister things they have done.

What Xie Jiu was thinking about, Gu Xiao quickly thought of it. It was indeed an excellent move. He pinched Xie Jiu's face and said, "How smart."

I suddenly realized that I had not taken this medicine in vain, and that my sin was worth it.

Xie Jiu said worriedly, "I wonder if the emperor will issue this marriage decree."

Gu Xiao thought for a moment and affirmed, "Yes, no one wants the Cao family to fight within the family more than him."

Xie Jiu could find out about Cao Zhicheng's training of his daughter, and the emperor must have known about it. How could he allow a daughter who was carefully taught by Cao Zhicheng to marry into the royal family and covet his empire?

His words were quickly confirmed by Mo Qi, who twitched his lips and said, "Master, Zhao Debao went to the Cao Mansion to read out the imperial edict and granted marriage to the third prince and Cao Yunjiao. It was because the third prince took the initiative to ask for your happiness. Get married within a few days."

The emperor asked Zhao Debao to take the imperial doctor to see Cao Yunjiao. He heard that Cao Yunjiao was struck with a sword on his arm and back. This was obviously the Cao family's attack on Cao Yunjiao in order to deal with the imperial doctor.

The pampered woman was stabbed twice like that, and if she got married within three days, she would probably have to be carried sideways into the third prince's house.

The third prince had just received fifty canes today, but the executioner did not dare to kill him for the queen's sake. If he received fifty canes, his butt would be broken, and he would not be able to stand up in the short term.

This is a perfect match. Two people lying down worshiping each other. Thinking about it makes me feel inexplicably funny and relieved.

Li Qiye did not give up being subtle, he laughed out loud, "This subordinate has lived for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he saw someone being carried to get married. Moreover, both of them were still injured and could only lie down. Wouldn't it be like turning into a turtle?

Then the Cao Mansion might have to customize a sedan chair, and the groom should ask someone to greet the bride instead, or get a sedan that can be used to lie on one's stomach and carry it to the bride..."

Xie Jiu imagined the scene and started laughing. In comparison, she wanted to see the reactions of Cao Mansion and Song Nianru.

However, Lin Shu's matters are more important than watching the fun.

Lin Shu was usually a very steady person. If she acted according to her usual style, she would definitely not fail to write down the effects of the medicine clearly. She must have encountered something that disturbed her mind, and she didn't want to trouble her and Gu Xiao, so she Hidden by myself.

With this in mind, he ordered Li Sheng to check it out.

On the other side, after the Cao Mansion received this imperial edict, Cao Shoufu entered the palace.

The emperor did not see him, citing physical discomfort.

He had to go to the queen, who was discussing with him how to get married in the third prince's palace.

"The Emperor granted marriage to His Highness and Yun Jiao, why didn't the Queen stop it?" Cao Shoufu asked, "Yun Jiao has been taught by ordinary women since she was a child, and she is anxious by nature, how can she be suitable?"

The emperor spoke very quickly and considered everything for his third son, so the queen could not refute.

The most important thing is that the Third Prince agrees. The imperial edict has been issued. She can only comfort herself that it is worth it to gain a good reputation.

It doesn't matter if the marriage is hasty, the real wedding will be on the day her son ascends the throne. If Yun Jiao is not suitable, she can find a way to replace her with Xiao Ba, just like His Majesty abandoned his wife and married her.

Now when asked by Cao Shoufu, she said, "The marriage will be completed within three days. Xiaoba's age is not suitable. She has not yet reached the age of hairpins. How can she get married?"
