This disease cannot be cured, it must be cured

Early in the morning, the prince finished washing, dressed neatly, and stepped out of the door of Chunjiao Hall.

The head guard stepped forward and asked, "Does Your Highness want to go out?"

The prince looked at the sun that had not yet risen, and said: "No, you go and ask He Houcong how the trial is going."

"Yes." The chief guard went immediately.

He estimated the time, put on the carriage, and went straight to He's house.

He Houcong was very active, and the joy of successfully standing in the team made his enthusiasm unprecedentedly high, and he was ready to go out to the Ministry of Criminal Justice before dawn.

Just about to get into the carriage, just in time for the chief guard of the Eastern Palace to arrive, "Master He."

He yelled from a distance, He Houcong stopped his stepping foot, squinted his eyes and looked at him.

"It turns out to be the guard." He recognized the person, got out of the car and asked politely, "What is the emperor's order?"

The chief guard looked around, and although he was happy in his heart, he still said with a straight face: "Your Highness said, before the enthronement ceremony, you will not be allowed to call him this way, for fear that people will hear it and hear it in the ears of the officials, and they will make a fuss about it in the future."

He Houcong let out an "Oh" and immediately changed his words, "Is something wrong, Your Highness?"

The guard had a cold expression on his face, nodded his head lonely, and then said: "Your Highness asked me to escort you to the Ministry of Punishment, and protect your safety along the way."

He Houcong felt unprecedented attention.

He couldn't help but sighed "Aiya" towards the sky, and cupped his hands towards the sky, "Your Highness has valued you so much, and I can't repay you as an official."

"Please get in the car." The chief guard lifted the curtain of the car.

The carriages in the East Palace were all extremely ornately decorated, and there was some kind of crystal glass ornament hanging on the curtain of the carriage. When it was pulled away abruptly, the jingle bells were crisp and melodious.

He Houcong nodded politely at him, and then said: "The dog is sick, I will take him by my side, so that it is convenient to take care of him."

He pleaded guilty and shouted towards the carriage behind: "Sixing."

He Sixing got off the carriage, walked in and bowed respectfully to the chief guard.

This chief guard of the Eastern Palace seemed to be more difficult to mess with than Wu Da, the commander of the cavalry. He was less talkative and had a murderous look on his face.

Seeing this, he just nodded his head, indicating that please feel free.

He Houcong swallowed, and carried He Sixing into the carriage.

When he also went up, the chief guard lowered the curtain, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

The head guard mounted his horse and followed the carriage not far or near.

Inside the car, He Sixing suddenly sneezed and sniffed.

He Houcong took out a cotton handkerchief and wiped it skillfully for him.

President He Si let out a long breath.

"This cold has been going on for several days, and it still hasn't recovered. You have been asking for leave and not going to the hospital. I'm afraid the hospital will forget about you." He Houcong said.

He touched Sixing's forehead, and he was relieved to find that it was not hot before.

He Sixing didn't take it seriously, "If you forget it, just forget it. Doctor Song is not here, no matter how good I am, he won't see it."

"You!" He Houcong scolded him, "Too purposeful."

He Sixing took the handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose and sneezed twice, and closed his eyes with pain.

He Houcong: "Fortunately, I didn't accept the errand entrusted by the general after listening to your words, otherwise the prince would think that I am double-faced, and I would not be where I am today, Minister of the Ministry of punishment..."

"Ah," he sighed deeply, "I didn't expect that I would come to this day after suffering for more than ten years."

He Sixing didn't answer, just thought for a while and slapped his forehead, "I have to go to Tai Hospital!"

"What's crazy?" He Houcong patted his arm.

"The crown prince has already returned, and Imperial Physician Song must also be back. I will be apprenticed to my teacher soon, and I will visit him more and more in the near future." He Sixing said anxiously.

He Houcong pressed him down, "It's okay to be half a day late. When I finish the trial of this case, I will become the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Song Taiyi said that he will accept you in order to save face, so don't be in a hurry."

"What's there to interrogate." He Sixing sat in the corner with his head bowed.

He Houcong looked at him.

Sixing covered his mouth and nose and said, "There are two people involved in this matter, King Li and the Empress. Let's talk about the Empress first, this person is interesting..."

In the middle of speaking, a brain popped on the head, and there was a crisp sound, as if a ripe melon was pierced.

"Don't talk about the queen!" He Houcong scolded him.

Sixing covered his head and looked at him, He Houcong looked at him with grinning teeth, a little unbearable, rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his head.

"No discussion, just analyze the case," Sixing sighed, "Oh."

He touched the top of his head and said solemnly: "The Duke's Mansion is the queen's natal family and the prince's uncle's house. There are two people who can order her to be stationed in the Qinzheng Hall. One is the prince and the other is the queen."

"As for the crown prince," he thought for a while, "he will be able to ascend the throne in the first place, so there is no need to rush. If it is assumed that he really wants to usurp the throne, then he thinks the emperor has lived too long and cannot wait."

He Houcong shook his head and frowned, "Although the emperor is strict with the prince, he is very conniving. Before the prince went south for five or six days, the emperor asked him to scold him twice, but he had no intention of punishing him. Everyone can see that. It can be seen that the relationship between father and son is excellent."

Sixing thought for a while, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, revealing a maturity that didn't match his age, "The prince went south, but when he came back, he missed the guards of the East Palace who went out to look for someone, so he was ambushed at the gate of the city. A well-planned palace change. Secondly, the prince was not seen during the attack, and the Duke's mansion sent people out to greet him in advance, which can also prove that the matter has nothing to do with the prince."

"Then there's only one other left, Queen."

"The first emperor was seriously ill. The Duke's Mansion was stationed in the Qinzheng Hall to strictly lock the news in the palace and recall the prince. The three steps are interlocking..."

He paused, his eyes looked far away, as if looking into the distance through the carriage.

"If King Li hadn't intervened, the palace would have been a different world."

He Houcong disagreed and shook his head, "Judging from the queen's urgent call for the crown prince to return to Beijing, she doesn't want to ascend the throne by herself. However, the crown prince can ascend the throne only after waiting for the rank, so isn't it unnecessary for her?"

Sixing fell silent, frowning.

Seeing that he was in a trance again, He Houcong felt that this was really troublesome, so he rubbed his head, "Forget it, the queen's side is not important, she will be the queen mother soon, and it's enough to just judge Li Wang clearly."

Sixing didn't listen at all, just stared at one place in a daze.

After a while, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.

He looked at He Houcong and said with certainty: "If it's because of the prince, unless the emperor treats him badly and the queen as a mother can't bear it, she wants to help him usurp the throne, but obviously the relationship between father and son is excellent."

"Since she is not for the prince, then there is one more..."

He Houcong stared at him intently, and Sixing said slowly: "...she is for herself, the late emperor treated her badly."

He Houcong was surprised.

He hurriedly passed through the carriage and looked at the chief guard who was following behind.

The chief guard looked ahead and did not stare at the carriage, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his father staring at him after finishing speaking, Sixing turned his eyes away, and continued in a low voice: "The queen kept the prince in the dark, and wanted to force the palace secretly. First, she didn't want to affect the harmonious parent-child relationship. , She herself never imagined that she would come to this point."

Sixing covered his mouth, so his voice was very indistinct, but He Houcong was very sensitive to the case, so he could hear it very clearly.

He looked at Sixing's eyes brightened by clarifying the case very complicatedly.

Sixing turned his head, a little surprised at his father's gaze, but he didn't take it seriously, and said casually, "As for King Li, it's even simpler."

"Why do you have to interrogate things that you can figure out when you think about it?" He shrugged.

He Houcong opened his mouth.

"There are a lot of ordinary people in the world, not everyone has the time to carefully reason about these things, and the people of the Li people also need to explain it." He said.

Sixing looked at his father in puzzlement, "What kind of stupid ordinary person can't even figure out this thing?"

He Houcong: "..."

Sixing continued indifferently: "Let's talk about King Li."

He sighed, seemed to find it boring, and said casually: "King Li assassinated the general first, then the prince, and even led people directly into the palace. This is always an indisputable fact, right?"

He Houcong: "King Li said that the general rebelled, so he killed him. He also entered the palace to capture the rebellious queen and protect the emperor."

"There is still some meaning in saying that the queen rebelled. If King Li hadn't stepped in and advanced to the palace before the prince, and tried to replace him in the name of the Qing emperor, she might have turned her back."

He Sixing sneered, "If you say the general rebelled, are you kidding me?"

The next moment, he paused, seemingly very puzzled.

He Houcong couldn't help asking: "What?"

"That's right, it doesn't make sense, father," Sixing asked, frowning, "If it's really King Li, he should send someone to assassinate the prince, and it's justified to enter the palace. do what?"

He Houcong secretly smiled, seeing that he was very puzzled, and said quietly: "The adopted son of the general... yes, it is your playmate, Shen Huan."

Sixing stared at his cautious appearance, and felt a little bit in his heart.

He Houcong said: "He is the illegitimate son of the current emperor, a veritable little prince, and the general is his adoptive father."

He Sixing stared at him in shock.

This expression is rare to see, He Houcong couldn't help but smile, "You were shocked, weren't you? When I first found out, I was also shocked!"

Sixing still hasn't recovered, thinking that he forced him to resign from Song Chunjing, he feels very nervous and can't sink to the bottom.

"The general is dead, Shen Huan has nothing to rely on, even if he is completely hopeless for the throne." He Houcong sighed, and said, "When the prince ascends the throne, maybe he will be killed. Send people to the northwest to take his life, poor thing."

Sixing stared at him blankly.

He Houcong pushed his chin and closed his slightly opened mouth.

Sixing swallowed.

He Houcong: "That's all right. After King Li dealt with the general, he told Shen Huan to have nothing to rely on. Then he sent someone to stop the prince, and finally went to the palace to pick up ready-made food. Unexpectedly, the emperor woke up and smashed the stone he lifted. own feet."

Sixing has been in a daze since mentioning that Shen Huanlai.

The whole person is numb.

It seems that there is something on his mind.

He Houcong let out an "ah",

"The reason why I asked you to go to the Tai Hospital is to stop thinking about these murders. Fortunately, you are not idle when you are sick."

"It's what you want to ask!" He Sixing finally came back to his senses, lifted the cotton cloth, and took two sharp breaths.

The snot was about to flow out, so he continued to cover his mouth and nose, "I said that I will enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the exam, and you don't want to accompany you in the trial in the future."

"What's so good about trial?" He Houcong frowned at him, "If you accidentally offend someone, you'll lose your life."

Sixing rolled his eyes.

He opened the curtain and forgot to take a look outside, and was passing by the gate of the palace.

"I'm not going, I'm going to Taiyuan Hospital to read! Stop!" he shouted.

The car stopped, and the chief guard came over and asked, "Master He?"

A young man emerged from inside, and went to the palace angrily.

He Houcong looked at his back, pointed at him "you" angrily for a long time, his beard almost flew off.

It wasn't until Sixing ran away without a trace that he put down his hand angrily and let out a long sigh.

The head guard touched the straight bridge of his nose.

"Children are really debts." He Houcong nodded to him embarrassedly, "I'm still sick, and I have to go to the Tai Hospital to report. I'm really spoiled."

Tai Hospital.

He Sixing ran all the way to the Taimen Gate, gasping for breath.

The court judge came out from inside, and asked with concern: "Sixing? Didn't you take sick leave? Why are you here again?"

Sixing calmed down some chaotic and frantic heartbeats, and took a deep breath.

"Judgment."

He bent down and bowed respectfully, "I haven't come for a few days, I'm afraid my hands will be born, so I came here to read a book."

"Good boy." The court judge praised and pointed to the room, "Go."

Thinking about leaving, he thought for a while and asked again: "Is Doctor Song back yet?"

"I'm back, but I haven't come yet." The court judge knew that he wanted to worship Song Chunjing as his teacher, so he made a favor, "Go read a book next to his seat and wait for him to come."

Sixing hurriedly thanked him.

He silently walked to Song Chunjing's medicine table, took the medical book that Song Chunjing had chosen for him last time, and lay down in the corner to read it.

The handwriting in the book is neatly marked with several annotations, judging from the handwriting, it doesn't look like Song Chunjing's.

It's a bit like Shen Huan's words.

The two of them have copied many prescriptions together, so they can distinguish a little bit.

Looking at the line of words, Sixing couldn't help but think of Shen Huan.

Is he still alive?

Do you know that something has happened to the general's mansion?

The words in the medical book turned into a cloud of dull ink, and the patterns were blurred. He tried his best to distinguish the three or five words in his eyes.

I forced him to give up studying medicine, so he decided to go to the northwest. Then, this disaster in the General's Mansion...

Is there anything I can do to help?

There seemed to be a big rock in his heart, and it was very difficult to breathe.

Sixing closed the book and closed his eyes under cover.

After a while, I took a few deep breaths, and then lifted the stone that was pressing on my heart a little, and relaxed a little.
