Since ancient times, there are only two kinds of men who can walk in the harem, one is the owner of the harem—the emperor, and the other is the imperial physicians summoned into the palace.

The women in the harem, in addition to wanting to please the emperor, also need to establish a good relationship with the imperial physician.After all, in life, who can be free from disease and disaster forever?What's more, sometimes you have to take some secret medicine that you can't explain clearly, don't you have to rely on the imperial physician?

Therefore, Tan Qingxuan's father, Tan Chuangen, who is the head of the Imperial Hospital, is the object of many people's curry favor. Although Tan Qingxuan is a concubine, she is Tan Chuangen's only daughter. This is the reason why she was able to play with a noble daughter like Ruan Jiaren under her aunt's knee.

After the farewell that day, it didn't matter what Tan Qingxuan said to Tan Chuangen when he went back, the important thing was that now Tan Chuangen was willing to help Tan Qingxuan marry Xiao Jining.

You must know that the situation in the court is unpredictable, and the same is true in the harem. Sometimes you have to turn a blind eye to survive.

As the head of the imperial hospital, Tan Chuangen naturally knew that some imperial physicians would make two prescriptions, one to keep and one to keep; Check—because sometimes because the temperature of the decoction is not right, or the masters refuse to drink the medicine temporarily, a lot of medicinal materials will be wasted.

But the most important point is that those who investigate this matter must be proficient enough in medical science. Once they see the missing medicinal materials, they must be able to roughly deduce what these medicinal herbs can be used for.The only people who have such ability in the imperial hospital are the imperial doctors.But most imperial physicians would not do such thankless things in order to protect themselves, unless they had to.

Tan Chuangen is well versed in these dirty things in the palace, but for his daughter, he can no longer stand idly by.Fortunately, he is the head of the hospital, and it is easy to walk in the imperial hospital, and he can find far more things than other imperial doctors.

Unexpectedly, after a detailed investigation, Tan Chuangen was also taken aback by what he found. When he told Tan Qingxuan, he reminded Tan Qingxuan not to leak this matter to too many people.

"My father is the emperor's physician, and he will check the emperor's pulse every ten days, but recently, every time I take the pulse, my father finds that there is something wrong with the emperor's pulse, but the emperor does not have any discomfort, so my father dare not speak falsely." Tan Qingxuan Looking up at Jing Yuan and Xiao Jining, he said word by word, "Until my father discovered those medicinal materials."

Although Tan Qingxuan didn't say it clearly, Xiao Jining already understood. To put it bluntly, someone was drugging Emperor Xiao.

"My father said that if people take those medicines together, they can make people look radiant and energetic, but this is just an appearance." Tan Qingxuan's voice paused slightly, "In fact, after half a year, people who take the medicine will be hollowed out."

Xiao Jining couldn't help frowning: "Only half a year?"

Tan Qingxuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Since the death of the prince, Emperor Xiao's health has not been very good, and it has gradually improved since last month. He thought he had taken care of his body, but he didn't want to hide such secrets in his body.

Hearing this, Jing Yuan's expression was also a bit dignified. Although he had a lot of eyeliners in the palace, he could not distribute his people everywhere.Take the imperial hospital as an example, at most he can know which concubines the imperial physicians are friendly with and which master they serve for, and if they want to go deeper to investigate, it will take a lot of effort, and they don't know what they can find out. It's not worth him to go to such great lengths.

So the news that Tan Qingxuan brought today is indeed extraordinary.

Therefore, after bidding farewell to Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren, Xiao Jining sat in the carriage of Huishun Palace and thought for a moment before telling the driver to turn around and go to the palace.

Jing Yuan asked him: "Why does Your Highness want to go back to the palace?"

"What Miss Tan said is of great importance." Xiao Jining frowned and said, "I have to tell Brother Seventh Emperor about this."

However, after Jing Yuan listened, he stopped Xiao Jining and said, "Your Highness can't."

Xiao Jining immediately raised his head to look at Jing Yuan, and asked him back, "Why not?"

Jing Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Since Your Highness knows that this matter is important, if the Seventh Prince asks, where did His Highness get the news, how should His Highness answer?"

"I..." Xiao Jining parted his lips, but couldn't answer for the time being.

Because this question is really difficult. After all, the relationship between him and Tan Qingxuan, Ruan Jiaren and the others is complicated, and no one else should know about it. However, this did not completely confuse Xiao Jining. He couldn't think for a moment, so he raised his eyes and said to Jing Yuan: Tell Brother Seventh Emperor that you told me the news, isn't that all right?"

This time the person who was stunned was Jing Yuan. In the past, Xiao Jining was a good boy who didn't dare to lie, but now he is so proficient at throwing blame on him. After Jing Yuan recovered from his slight start, he He laughed uncontrollably and said, "Your Highness really thinks highly of me."

It's not that Xiao Jining thinks highly of Jing Yuan. In the past, Xiao Jining wouldn't dare to say such things, because according to his original innocent and ignorant personality, he shouldn't know that Jing Yuan has such abilities, so once he said it, he would exposed.But since the conversation between the two of them after the crown prince died that broke all the pretense, he has been exposed, and Xiao Jining still feels that there have been some changes between him and Jing Yuan.

That change is hard to describe, but it exists.

And in front of Jing Yuan, he didn't need to try his best to pretend to be ignorant and timid, and he could even argue with Jing Yuan sometimes, Xiao Jining felt much more relaxed.

So Xiao Jining didn't want to bother to talk to Jing Yuanxu about anything, lazily praised him: "Well, of course I can see it, General Jing, you are amazing."

Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining's perfunctory laziness when talking to him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Does Your Highness know how powerful this humble official is?"

"I know, I know, we grew up together, is there anything I don't know about you?" Xiao Jining was busy telling the coachman not to listen to Jing Yuan's orders, and turned around to enter the palace, so he said indiscriminately, "General Jing, I trust you."

"Thanks to His Highness's trust, I'm really lucky." Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly, but still corrected his expression, and said to the groom, "Send the prince back to Shun Palace."

This carriage belonged to Jing Yuan, and the coachman naturally listened to Jing Yuan's words and went straight to Shun Palace.

Seeing this, Xiao Jining frowned and looked towards Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan also looked down at him quietly, and said softly: "Your Highness, you must not mention this to anyone."

"Why?" Xiao Jining was puzzled, and anxiously said, "The person who poisoned the father must be the Second Emperor, I have to remind the Seventh Brother."

In the past, when the crown prince was still there, everyone knew that the second prince coveted the heart of the East Palace. Now that the crown prince is gone, Emperor Xiao has been reluctant to appoint a new crown prince. Who is the most anxious person?

Not even the second prince.

Other princes who are most promising to ascend to the throne, such as him, such as the seventh prince, but it is impossible for him to poison Emperor Xiao; of this target.

Of course, Xiao Ji would rather assert that it was the second prince who did it, or because in the original "Jing Yuan Lu", the person who ascended the throne first after the death of Emperor Xiao was the second prince.

But after Jingyuan heard Xiao Jining's words, he sneered, his eyes dimmed, he shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the emperor once favored Concubine Zhen, and with her protection, the Seventh Prince will be safe and sound."

Before Xiao Jining could figure out whether Jing Yuan's words had any deep meaning, he arrived at the palace, and Jingyuan took him to the palace and left by car.

"...What exactly does he mean by these words?" Xiao Jining frowned.

If it is true as Jing Yuan said, Concubine Zhen can protect the Seventh Prince safe and sound, then in the original book, why did the Seventh Prince not ascend the throne, but the second, fourth, and fifth princes did, and when Jing Yuan ascended the throne, all the princes died?

However, Xiao Jining still didn't enter the palace to tell the Seventh Prince the news, because Xiao Dan also told him that the direction of this world has changed a long time ago, maybe everyone's ending this time is different from the original book?

Xiao Jining remained silent, and continued to thank the guests behind closed doors at the Prince Shun's Mansion to take care of his illness.

Two months later, the last snowfall of Yunhong's [-]th year also fell, and the next snowfall will be [-]th year.

Unexpectedly, after the snow this time, Emperor Xiao got a cold.

The symptoms were mild at first, and I thought it would be cured after a few days of recuperation. Unexpectedly, after half a month of treatment, the symptoms did not improve, and they became more and more serious.

The emperor was seriously ill, so this year's New Year's Eve, the palace did not dare to hold a big banquet.

It can only be handled by Concubine Gao and the Empress Dowager, simply recalling all the crowned princes back to the palace for the New Year's banquet - but this year's New Year's banquet, the prince is no longer there, and the third prince who is far away in the imperial mausoleum has no imperial edict and cannot return to Beijing .Therefore, Concubine Yang Xian, the birth mother of the third prince, looked gloomy and lacking energy during the banquet.

Xiao Jining ate exquisite and delicious delicacies, but he still couldn't eat it. Others didn't know why Emperor Xiao fell ill, but he knew, and Emperor Xiao's illness came on quickly and quickly, within half a year at all. Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Later, the beauty sent him a letter, saying that the imperial doctor Tan guessed that the poison given to Emperor Xiao should be increased.

But in this way, a new mystery was created—Jing Yuan went to investigate later, and told him that Emperor Xiao's poison must be removed gradually, otherwise problems will easily occur and people will notice.

After all, half a year is not a long time, why is the second prince so impatient?

Could it be that the Second Prince knew that he was on good terms with the Seventh Prince, and was worried that his marriage with Ruan Jiaren would be a huge threat to him, so he wanted to act first?

But this guess didn't make much sense, and was quickly denied by Xiao Jining himself. He shook his head and sighed. After hearing this, the eighth prince sitting beside him turned his head and asked him: "Ninth brother, what's wrong with you? Big New Year's sigh?"

Xiao Jining said: "I just miss Brother Three Emperors."

This is not the truth, but it can divert the Eighth Prince's attention. After listening to it, the Eighth Prince sighed: "I also miss Brother Three."

Xiao Jining frowned slightly: "Father's illness has not recovered, and no one dared to ask Brother Sanhuang to return to Beijing for the New Year in front of him."

Speaking of this, the eighth prince was also very confused: "Father has always been in good health. Although father was seriously ill when the prince passed away, didn't he recover later? How could it be—"

Before the eighth prince could finish speaking, a little eunuch with a flustered expression suddenly ran into the palace, quickly ran to the side of the queen mother and concubine Gao, and whispered a few words to them.

Then Concubine Gao also showed a look of surprise, and said to the princes and concubines: "Just now the imperial physician came to report, saying that the emperor has vomited blood again, I'm afraid it's going to die, so call us to go to the Golden Dragon Palace."

The author has something to say: In the preview, Emperor Xiao will GG tomorrow, everyone should burn incense for him, after all, he was also a respectable scumbag during his lifetime.
