Bai Heng was led by the East Palace eunuch to His Majesty's bedroom.

After arriving at the bedroom, it was discovered that His Majesty was already unconscious.

No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so anxious, he immediately called them into the palace when he knew they had entered the capital.

Bai Heng didn't dare to delay, and stepped forward to feel His Majesty's pulse.

As soon as he felt his pulse, Bai Heng's heart skipped a beat.

His majesty's pulse is obviously poisoned.

Bai Heng didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite His Highness the Crown Prince over.

Xiao Qi got the message, so he brought Lu Qi here.

When Bai Heng saw Xiao Qi, before he saluted to greet him, he heard Xiao Qi say: "Okay, Doctor Xiaobai, don't be too polite, what's wrong with Father?"

Bai Heng pursed his lips, but stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi waved away the palace servants who were waiting in the palace.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has been poisoned." Seeing that no one else was there, Bai Heng walked to Xiao Qi's side and said in a low voice.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes." Bai Heng nodded respectfully.

After hearing this, Xiao Qi's face was serious, but he probably knew it in his heart, otherwise he would not have called Bai Heng to Beijing.

His father had just ascended the throne not long ago, although he had already grasped the government, not all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were trustworthy, so when His Majesty fell, Xiao Qi's first thought was to let Bai Heng take a look.

After all, he couldn't trust other imperial physicians.

Now that it was really confirmed that the father was poisoned, Xiao Qi calmed down instead.

"Doctor Xiaobai, the poison in Emperor Father's body will trouble you."

"Yes." Bai Heng agreed, and then stayed in the palace with Lu Qi.

After the emperor fell, His Royal Highness the crown prince took care of the government temporarily. Because the concubine Xiansu was bestowed dead by the emperor, there was no queen in the harem, only the former concubine Su Wang became the queen mother.

When Su Wang Taifei was in the palace, she was indistinct and her ears were soft. She was coaxed by the former queen mother to separate from Su Wang for several years.

Now that King Su Xiaoyu ascended the throne, the concubine's worth has also risen accordingly, and she has become the most noble woman in the harem.

Only Xiao Yu knew what kind of temperament his own mother was from the beginning, so even if the concubine became the queen mother, she didn't have much real power in her hands, so Xiao Yu handed over the harem to the female officials.

But even so, Xiao Yu still couldn't guard against the empress dowager's stupidity.

As soon as Xiao Yu fell, Xiao Qi immediately sent people to block and search the harem, and soon found out the real culprit who harmed His Majesty.

The real culprit was none other than an old nanny from the queen mother's side.

That old nanny was given by the first queen mother to the queen mother who was still Su Wang's concubine at that time.

The old nanny was originally in Su Wang's mansion, and it caused a lot of trouble. According to Xiao Yu's intention, he would deal with the old nanny after he ascended the throne, but he didn't know how the old nanny coaxed the concubine to let the concubine go. Su Wang Taifei protected her tightly.

Xiao Yu was wary of rats, and it would be too bad to hurt the jade bottle just to beat the rats.

Therefore, Xiao Yu suppressed his murderous intentions for the time being, thinking of finding a chance to execute that old nanny again.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't found the opportunity yet, but the opponent struck first.

As soon as Xiao Yu fell down, after Xiao Qi found out the real culprit, he no longer cared about the Queen Mother, and immediately sent someone to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace to arrest the old mother.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Shoukang Palace, they knew that the old mother had committed suicide long ago.

The eunuch next to Prince Xiao Qi was the one who came to arrest the old nanny. After he learned that the old nanny committed suicide, he spat, "Bah, it's really bad luck, take the body back."

The subordinates took orders to go, and the eunuch went to the main hall to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

The matter of the old mother did not cause much commotion, so the queen mother did not know at this time, so when she saw the eunuch next to the prince, she was quite surprised.

"Why are you here?" asked the Queen Mother.

"As for the Empress Dowager, the servants are ordered by the Crown Prince to come to Shoukang Palace to do business." The eunuch He Shun replied respectfully.

"Come to Ai's house to do business? What are you doing?" The queen mother was confused, she looked at the maids serving beside her, and saw that the maids beside her were also in a daze.

"In the case of the Empress Dowager, the maidservant was ordered to ask Nanny Li to speak." He Shun replied.

The queen mother heard him mention Nanny Li, and said: "Yes, I haven't seen Nanny Li today, but why did the prince look for Nanny Li? You tell the prince not to hold Nanny Li for too long, sorry She can still be used."

When He Shun listened to the empress dowager beating him, he just felt it was funny, the empress dowager was really confused, no wonder His Majesty and His Highness didn't dare to ask the empress dowager to help take care of the harem.

Seeing that the Queen Mother can't even manage her own Shoukang Palace well.

All the nuns under him had accidents, and the queen mother didn't even hear the news.

Everyone is dead, and I still want to be served, I really don't know what to say.

He Shun secretly shook his head and sighed, and left after perfunctory the Queen Mother.

After He Shun left, the Empress Dowager immediately said to the maid next to her, "Go and ask, why is the prince suddenly going to see Nanny Li? Don't let the emperor use the prince as a shield and find fault with Nanny Li. "

The maid respectfully responded, exited the main hall, turned her head to look at the gate of the main hall, the maid sighed deeply. ...

After Xiao Qi learned that Nanny Li had committed suicide, he was naturally very angry.

"To Gucha! Who are the people she gets along with on weekdays? Who else is in her family? Who did she meet on the day when the incident happened? Did she think it would be over once she died?" Xiao Qi said viciously.

He Shun naturally took orders to investigate. ...

After Bai Heng settled down, the most important thing was to treat His Majesty's illness.

Fortunately, the poison His Majesty suffered from is not a rare poison. Although the detoxification process is a bit cumbersome, it is not unsolvable.

After Bai Heng made a list of the herbs he needed, he handed them to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi will send someone to prepare what Bai Heng needs.

In a few days, the herbs needed for detoxification were ready, and Bai Heng could start to detoxify His Majesty.

When Bai Heng was busy detoxifying His Majesty, Lu Qi was not idle either.

Although he is in the palace, the news outside the palace is still well known, and he can still take care of the Lu family's business at the same time.

******

On the other hand, after Bai Heng and Lu Qi entered the palace, the members of the Xu family rushed to nothing, but they did not give up and still sent people to the Bai family's house every day to inquire about news.

When the Xu family learned that Lu Qi and Bai Heng had never left the palace after entering the palace, the old man of the Xu family felt something was wrong.

He immediately called the eldest son and the third son home, and the father and son locked themselves in the study for an entire afternoon.

Both the eldest and the third child of the Xu family were officials in the court, so they naturally knew that His Majesty was ill these days, so His Highness the Crown Prince presided over the early court, and His Highness also approved any memorials.

Right now, Mrs. Xu stroked his beard and said, "If Your Majesty is here...then the prosperity of the Xu family is just around the corner."

Elder Xu nodded, "Father is right. With the friendship between Lu Qi and His Royal Highness, Lu Qi's future is limitless in the future. Even if Lu Qi's legs and feet are inconvenient, His Highness can be kind to Lu and Xu's family."

"Brother is right." Master Xu San also nodded in agreement.

This is also the reason why the Xu family insisted on holding on to the Lu family's marriage.

Because everyone knows that a person with a disability cannot be an official in the court. If His Royal Highness wants to reuse Lu Qi, he will definitely encounter strong opposition from all officials.

If Lu Qi himself cannot be an official, then the Xu family, Lu Qi's in-laws, can benefit.

The Xu family's wishful thinking was flicking, but they didn't know that Lu Qi didn't want to marry them at all.

The Xu family looked down on Lu Qi from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that Lu Qi came from a family of merchants and was disabled. If they found out that a girl from the Xu family was going to marry, they would definitely agree with gratitude.

After all, it is also a good thing for the Lu family to be able to marry with the Xu family.

Anyway, the Xu family is also a big family in the capital, and the girl from the Xu family is very capable.

However, these calculations are simply because the Xu family is overwhelmed with the burden of shaving their heads, and their own wishful thinking is tight, but they don't know that Lu Qi avoids them like snakes and scorpions.

The Xu family thought they had detected the opportunity first, and began to act frequently in private.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne is a certainty, but if he showed his favor to His Highness the Crown Prince early, might he be able to compete for the position of the Crown Princess?

When the prince was still the son of King Su, he was not married because of his disability.

Right now, it is really great news for the major aristocratic families in the capital.

The young Prince His Royal Highness is His Majesty's only son. There is no one else competing for the throne, and he doesn't have to worry about which prince's team he should be on. Will he be on the wrong team?

So it's not just the Xu family who is thinking, as long as there are women of the right age in the capital, they are all ready to move.

Therefore, when everyone saw that the Xu family started to move, they couldn't help but follow suit. ...

in the palace.

Xiao Qi found that there have been more memorials proposing His Royal Highness's wedding in recent days.

He irritatedly threw the memorial on the table, and said angrily: "Don't worry about the drought in the northwest, and don't care about the shortage of salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River. They only stare at Gu's life-long affairs all day long. What's the use of these ministers? !"

The eunuch in charge of the imperial study stood at the bottom, his head lowered with his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose, and his heart.

In recent days, because of worrying about His Majesty's dragon body, His Royal Highness has become more and more irritable, but it's hard for the palace servants who are close to him. According to He Shun, His Highness just shot an unruly court lady yesterday.

The eunuch in charge gritted his teeth in secret, what a bunch of winks, it's all at this juncture, and they just want to climb the bed.

Thinking about it, the palace lady who was killed yesterday should serve as a wake-up call for everyone, don't try to cling to His Highness all day long, it's serious to be a good job, otherwise, when His Majesty wakes up, the methods will only be more cruel than His Highness's.

The eunuch in charge is usually in charge of the imperial study and is the closest to His Majesty, so he naturally knows a lot of privacy.

It can be said that apart from His Majesty's personal eunuch, he is the one who sees the most and clearly.

Why doesn't Your Majesty have a harem?Why did His Highness not get married so late?

These are all unthinkable, and the servants only need to have a pair of eyes.

You can't take your head and mouth. If you think too much about everything, or talk too much, you will easily cause trouble.

An old man like him who has gone through several dynasties knows how to protect himself best, otherwise it would not be his turn to manage the imperial study.

Thinking of this, the eunuch in charge raised his eyes and glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince, and quickly lowered his eyes again.

His Highness the Crown Prince was born really well, with his eyebrows and outlines, he could vaguely see the shadow of the beloved imperial concubine back then, but he was nothing like His Majesty and Princess Xiansu.
