Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Lu Zhang's eyes were fixed, and he recovered his calmness directly from the furious appearance.

Jin Yiwei, who protected the prince from entering the palace, was secretly startled, and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife.

The imperial physicians and palace servants in the palace were no strangers to it.

"The second child is your pawn?" Lu Zhang endured the pain, and he survived this attack. Except for disheveled hair and no dragon robe, he seemed to be full of power in the past.

The palace people rushed to help, but Lu Zhang waved them away, looked at the prince fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "...16 years ago, when I first won the world, I made you the prince of the East Palace. You have taught me carefully, and I only hope that after a hundred years, you will be able to defend the Qi Dynasty. I never thought that a fever caused by wind and evil would completely destroy your body and shorten your lifespan. Is this my fault? In this way, I did not abolish your crown prince, but you are unwilling to do such an unfaithful and unfilial act!"

Lu Zhang's every word seems to be extremely important.

Several imperial physicians in the hall couldn't help nodding their heads. Have fewer princes died of fever since ancient times?The prince was originally in poor health, and the fever was like the last brick that crushed the carriage. Who would know?

Director Chen of the Eastern Palace who came in with the prince changed his expression, wishing he could pick up the vase and smash those imperial doctors.

No one else knows what happened to the prince's illness, but can Mr. Chen still not know?

The prince was weak and sick, and he had to drink three or five times of medicine every year. These quack doctors who were only willing to prescribe Taifang habitually drew up prescriptions according to the old routine.After procrastination, the prince's illness has not improved for a long time, so that.

On the bright side, the responsibility for this matter does not lie with the emperor.

How did Ketai Hospital develop such a habit of being afraid of getting into trouble and avoiding diagnosis?

It's not just the low-ranking concubines in the palace, several of whom die every year. Other concubines, such as the second prince's biological mother, suffer from major and minor injuries, and have to summon the imperial physician from time to time.Over time, everyone in the Tai Hospital seemed to be deaf and blind. During the diagnosis and treatment, the disease conditions were very vague, and the prescriptions were also vague. After all, the prescriptions have to be kept on file.

Therefore, the fall injury is recorded as a bump injury, and it is treated as a skin trauma of the bump, and the medicine is also suitable for the symptom, but the effect of the medicine is weak and the recovery is slow.

A sprain is counted as leg cramps, so if you are not allowed to take medicine, you can drink some bone soup for tonic.

The kind of body with several bruises would not be shown to the imperial physician at all, but the imperial physician would just describe it verbally, and the imperial physician would prescribe an ointment to apply to reduce swelling and blood stasis.back.Concubines and concubines can't smell like ointment all over their bodies, so they add some powder to the ointment.The archived prescriptions are recorded as nourishing beauty prescriptions, or plasters for eliminating rashes.

Those medical officers who had just joined the imperial medical office could not understand the mystery at all.

In the former dynasty, the imperial physicians used a piece of cloth to call the pulse of concubines, but in the Qi Dynasty, they simply developed the pulse diagnosis by hanging silk.

Can a thread diagnose the pulse?Of course not, even Mo Li, who possesses superb internal strength and martial arts, doesn't have such abilities!

The so-called Xuansi pulse diagnosis is just for show, the imperial doctor has already asked the palace staff about the real condition before entering the door.In addition, some concubines have wounds on their faces, so they are unwilling to see people, but they are afraid of losing their appearance, so they have to ask the imperial physician. Hearing that there is such a magical way to diagnose the pulse by hanging silk, how can they not do it?

So they fooled around all day long, and the atmosphere in the imperial hospital was getting worse and worse. They didn't dare to play this trick in front of the emperor. thing.When they found out that it was not good, they just thought of trying to blame each other in panic.

Manager Chen's eyes were red, and he stared at the imperial physicians.

The prince remained calm, neither was angered by Lu Zhang's words, nor did he glance at the imperial physician who was huddled beside him.

Lu Zhang's gaze suddenly caught sight of a pair of boots exposed under the curtain in the distance. Obviously, someone had sneaked in and hid inside. The boots had embroidered patterns, which were not for palace people to wear.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhang guessed who it was.

"I'm really worthless for the second child. He obeyed your advice, but you sent him to a dead end." Lu Zhang said coldly, "The third child must have been deceived by you too. After today, he probably won't treat you well." used."

The figure behind the curtain trembled.

The hiding place of this person happened to be in the blind spot of the prince's field of vision.

Lu Zhang continued to provocate: "I am also very disappointed. These scoundrels are all stupid. Only you and Lao Liu have better brains. As an elder brother, you take care of them everywhere, but you just want to make a wise gesture. Use or Get rid of these brothers who may threaten your position as the crown prince. I thought you couldn't help but attack the sixth child, but I didn't expect you to be smart enough to know that the real opponent is the third child."

The prince frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"...Cowardly, incompetent, but with the status of a prince, courtiers like to support such a puppet. Prince, wise and wise will not let you get the support of civil and military officials."

The figure behind the curtain trembled even more violently.

Manager Chen saw it at a glance, and immediately lowered his head to tell the prince.

Lu Zhang raised his hand to twitch.Out of a saber on the wall beside the bed, Jin Yiwei, who was protecting the prince when he came in, was on alert immediately, and Mr. Chen also subconsciously stood in front of the prince, so he couldn't finish his sentence.

"What a loyal dog." Lu Zhang laughed suddenly, and said word by word, "Chen Cai, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Cai was Mr. Chen's name. Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen stood motionless, still hunched over his shoulders, nothing unusual.

Lu Zhang sneered, his tone full of contempt. He tried to see the angry expression on the prince's face after being betrayed, but the prince lowered his head and scratched the raccoon slave's chin.

Originally it was warm in the sedan chair, but it was windy and windy outside, so Ah Hu naturally huddled in the prince's arms.

Now it's the emperor's bedroom, where it's open and not cold, the cat can't stay there anymore.

The prince didn't want the cat to run around, he hugged the cat just to keep warm, even though he was wearing thick clothes and fox fur, with a warm jade hanging on his chest, his hands still couldn't get warm.

Ahu is better than a stove.

It's very warm in your hand, which is very useful.

Seeing that the prince was still in the mood to tease his pets, Lu Zhang almost couldn't contain the anger in his heart. He took a deep breath and sneered, "Chen Cai, the person I placed next to you, since you became the prince of the East Palace, He will report to me every move you make."

While stroking the cat's fur with his fingers, the prince said casually: "Father cares about my son, and my son has not thanked my father for his painstaking efforts. A Chen is nothing, and there is a princess!"

Everyone was shocked.

Meng Qi, who sneaked onto the roof of the bedroom, raised his eyebrows, showing surprise.

Although Meng Qi tied up his coat, when the wind blew, the sleeves of the robe fluttered violently, because his upper body under the coat was not wearing anything.

When he ran out, he was not only guilty of ruining his clothes, but also worried about the situation in the palace.

Uh, it's fake to be worried, he wants to watch the excitement.

When I go back and learn from Dr. Mo, maybe when the doctor is happy, the bitter medicine will be able to stay away from me.

Meng Qi quietly sneaked into the palace, and when he got to the ground, he began to look around. In the distance was a group of people in brocade uniforms.Jin Yiwei of Beizhen Fusi and Nanzhen Fusi escaped when the prince bombarded the open space in front of Wanhe Hall. The commander of Jinyiwei was imprisoned and tortured for secretly informing the second prince, and he must have been released now.

In addition to Jinyiwei, it is the imperial guards.

The ranks of the imperial guards were a little loose, and there were not many people who turned to the prince. Most of them were hesitant, but gave up resistance under the threat of artillery.

Meng Qi also saw a group of courtiers being "escorted".

They stayed outside the hall to blow the cold wind, some looked terrified, and some were full of resentment.

At this time, Lu Zhang's voice came from the hall again.

"It's a joke! The princess's background is indeed not high, but since the founding of the dynasty, no matter whether it is the concubine selected by the empress or the prince to marry, they all prefer the families of small officials, or even ordinary people. And once selected, they will be dismissed immediately , bestow a title of grace and reward, and you are not allowed to be an official within three generations. This is to prevent the misfortune of your relatives. I know that you are dissatisfied with the wives you married, because their natal families are of no help to you..."

The ministers outside the hall vaguely heard the general idea, with different expressions.

"Meow!"

Wait, where did the meow come from?

Originally, Meng Qi wanted to sneak into the hall without anyone noticing, and go up to the beam to watch the excitement, but when he heard Ah Hu's cry, he immediately felt that the roof outside the hall was also pretty good.

"Father really understands the help of his wife, family and in-laws. If there is no queen mother, how can father succeed in official career and leave the frontier for Taijing?"

"you!"

Regardless of Lu Zhang's anger, the prince said directly: "I married the daughter of a Shangguan, and I treated her carefully and courteously a few years ago. The more officials my father became, the more rude he was to his wife, and he took in several concubines one after another. They were all daughters of high-ranking official families in the Chu Dynasty at that time. For the sake of great cause, the emperor sold himself for glory, and served Emperor Ling of Chu during the day as an envoy, and the backyard also laughed at him..."

"Shut up, son of a bitch!"

Lu Zhang let out a wild roar and kept panting heavily. The residual true energy in his body broke out again, and his whole body ached.

All the ministers outside the palace looked at each other in blank dismay. They did not question the prince's words, because it is well known that the second prince's biological mother was Lu Zhang's concubine before he ascended the throne, and someone in the clan was an official of the Chu Dynasty's household department.

It seems that the daughters of this kind of official family are either born out of concubines or their families are in decline, and they grew up relying on the relief of the clan.It is usually used by the clan to marry and establish a relationship. No matter who is a concubine, it is always an exchange of interests in the officialdom. Once there is any accident, the woman can immediately abandon it.

A prime minister of the Chen Dynasty even married his granddaughter to a political enemy, and in the end, he turned his face just as he said.

"It's good to prevent the chaos of foreign relatives, but what the father really wants to do is to control all the princes. You threaten her with the lives of the princess and the concubine's family. You are the emperor, and you can make them die silently." , and the foreign relative Xungui is not welcomed by the courtiers. If you want the crown princess to send a letter, the crown princess can only chant Buddha all day long and act as if she doesn't care about everything. Although she dare not say it, I know that she is miserable. And Liang Di is young and has a strong temper, so my father didn't move this pawn because he was afraid that something would happen to her."

The prince sighed, and continued, "I thought you were only using this move in the East Palace, but I didn't expect the second brother's concubine..."

Meng Qi suddenly remembered that the second prince failed in his plot to rebel and was betrayed by the people around him.

From this point of view, the second prince's concubine also had no other choice.

"Father sits in the world, but uses such despicable means, it really opened the eyes of my son."

Lu Zhang couldn't restrain his anger, he stared at Mr. Chen, turned his head and said sharply: "Okay! I underestimated the ability of you, a scoundrel, to win people's hearts. The dog is so obedient! Chen Cai, your elder brother only has one son, and the lives of their family, as well as the lives of your parents and family, seem to be unnecessary! I still have dead men, wait until dawn and hear the prince The news of Linchao will immediately send them to hell!"

Manager Chen raised his head slowly, with a strange expression on his face.

He smiled humblely and respectfully, and seemed to squeeze out a bit of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty, more than ten years ago, you ordered your servant to serve the crown prince in the East Palace. This is the thing that this servant is most grateful to His Majesty. As for winning people's hearts, Your Majesty is really joking. From the beginning to the end, your servant has never been threatened by you. How did your majesty do it?" I feel that the parents who are waiting to sell their sons into the palace, and the elder brother who points at the slaves to eat, drink and gamble... the slaves will care about their lives?"

Not only Lu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, but other palace people showed surprise.

What the servant desires most is to adopt a child, so that there will be incense to eat after death.

There are countless servants like Mr. Chen who have been sold by their parents. Even if they hold grudges in their hearts, how can they ignore the life of their nephews?

Mr. Chen squeezed a smile and said: "After the slaves die, they don't want fake sons who come for money. They put memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. They are all lies to fool us poor people and squeeze out money. As for the incense of the Chen family, It has nothing to do with a penny of slaves."
