New Dream of Red Mansions

The fifth prince is seriously ill, and the prince and the third prince are brothers, why don't they help take care of him in Kunning Palace?Even if the third prince is young, what about His Royal Highness?

Did the prince voluntarily copy the "Book of Rites" in the East Palace, or was he imprisoned in the East Palace?

The old lady felt her hands and feet were cold for a moment, and she was speechless.

The Zhou family who followed the old lady was also pale, she stepped forward to support the old lady, her eyes flashed with determination, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, you must not fall down at this time, you have to persuade the empress .”

At this time, if the empress started to quarrel with the emperor, wouldn't she fall into the trap of the people who arranged it?Without the favor of the emperor, what if the empress is a queen?I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will be implicated in the end.

The old lady gritted her teeth. Could it be that the queen should bow her head at this time?What is the fifth prince who is seriously ill?

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but secretly worried, so she looked at Mr. Xia.

Director Xia quickly calmed down, and said in a low voice: "The most urgent thing now is to cure the fifth prince, as long as the fifth prince is fine..." The fifth prince is fine, and the empress will not mess herself up. They couldn't make it through, but they tried their best to delay the time, and they could also give the empress a buffer time.

The old lady looked at Mr. Xia, "Hurry up and invite the best doctor in the capital..." Even though they said this, they were full of bitterness. Most of the good doctors went to the palace to be imperial physicians, but now Half of the imperial physicians were taken away from the capital by the Supreme Emperor, and most of them were excellent. How many of the imperial physicians left in the capital are comparable to the imperial physicians in the palace?

Even the imperial doctor can't help, who else can help?

Manager Xia's mind flashed a name, and his heart skipped a beat.Lord Hou once sent someone to find Mr. Fanghe, and Mr. Fanghe used to be Miss Wang's husband. If Miss Wang can find Mr. Fanghe as soon as possible...

Although he knew that Mr. Fang He might not be in or near the capital, Manager Xia decided to give it a try. He saluted the old lady and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly, and then walked away quickly.

And Eunuch Wei couldn't stay outside, he just sent a message to the Xia family, hoping that the Xia family could find some good medicine.

"Our family still has some things to do, so we will leave Xiao Anzi to our family to take care of it. If the old lady has anything to do, just go to him."

The old lady nodded and asked Mrs. Zhou to send her off.

It was just dark at this time, and Eunuch Wei hurried back to the palace.He came out on a monthly family leave and had to return to the palace before dropping the key in the palace.

As soon as Eunuch Wei entered the palace with his front foot, the emperor knew it with his back foot.

Eunuch Su reported the report cautiously, seeing the emperor writing with a sullen face, he felt even more disturbed.

There was a cold light in the emperor's eyes, he threw down the brush in his hand impetuously, and asked, "How is the fifth prince?"

"The imperial physician is doing his best to diagnose and treat."

An angry look flashed across the emperor's face, "Full strength, full strength, from this afternoon until now, the fifth prince has no strength at all. Tell them, if they can't be cured, I will cut them off!"

Eunuch Su lowered his head.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his hands tightened and loosened, and he said after a long time: "Send someone to Chengde as soon as possible, invite Wu Taiyi and Zhang Taiyi back, and tell the storeroom that everything that Kunning Palace wants must not be neglected. , watch closely, let him copy the scriptures in the East Palace, and never let him out without my permission."

Eunuch Su quickly agreed and was about to retreat, but there was a commotion outside.

Eunuch Su took a look at the emperor whose face was sinking like water, hurriedly went out to look, and came back after a while and said, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Ou who saw that you hadn't eaten for a long time, and personally brought some soup to Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at him and said in a cold voice: "I don't see you!" After a pause, he continued: "Just say that I am busy with business and don't have time."

Eunuch Su responded and left.

Manager Xia did not enter through the main entrance of Wang's house, but directly jumped in from the wall with a hidden guard, carefully avoiding the servants of Wang's house, and accurately found Wang Xiyan's boudoir according to the map provided by Xia An's house.

When Wang Xiyan saw Manager Xia, her first instinct was that something happened to Xia Yuntian, and the second thing she realized was that something happened to Pingyang Hou's Mansion.

Manager Xia briefly explained what happened in the palace in a low voice, and finally said: "Now the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless. I heard that Ms. Wang and Mr. Fanghe know each other. I wonder if it is possible..."

Xi Yan said in a deep voice: "Mr. is not in the capital now, nor is it near here. Even if you go fast, you won't be able to arrive without three or four days."

Xiyan herself is a half-hearted doctor, she knows that if it is poison, if it goes on like this, the child may not be able to survive tonight.

Obviously, Manager Xia also thought of this, and his face paled for a moment, "Your Majesty is a temperamental person. I heard from Eunuch Wei that she contradicted the Emperor on the spot for the fifth prince this afternoon. Now His Royal Highness is copying the "Book of Rites" in the East Palace. The prince was sent to Li Niangniang..."

Cold sweat broke out in Xiyan's palms.

In the struggle for imperial power, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Xiyan sat in the dark and thought for a long time.

Director Xia originally wanted to step back, but when he saw Xiyan's face was different, a light flashed in his eyes.She was able to send so much food and grass to Lord Hou under the blockade, maybe there was a strange trick this time.

Manager Xia stood quietly waiting for her.

When Xiyan came back to her senses, she saw Director Xia standing aside with her head bowed respectfully, she sighed in her heart, and said, "Is there a trustworthy imperial doctor in the palace?"

Director Xia hesitated for a moment, and said, "Physician Zhang followed the Supreme Emperor to Chengde."

In other words, the Xia family, the imperial physicians in the palace, are not sure about it.

Xiyan hesitated for a moment, then said decisively: "Then you can make arrangements, I will enter the palace tonight!"

Manager Xia raised his head with a "huh" and looked at Xiyan in shock.

Xiyan said in a low voice: "I know you have a solution, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. I will wait for you at the door at three o'clock in the afternoon."

It's the beginning of Xu, and the two hours are really tight, but the fifth prince is weak and may not be able to wait.Director Xia responded, and said in a low voice, "I need your warrant."

Wang Xiyan took a piece of white paper, drew a big tick on it with a brush dipped in ink, then took out the seal that Xia Yuntian gave her and printed a seal on it, and then handed it to Director Xia.

Manager Xia took it respectfully, and then quickly exited.Once outside, he signaled the hidden guards to stay and protect Xiyan.

As soon as Xiyan and the others left, they quickly found out the detoxification article that Mr. Fang He had given her, and copied all the parts about children.In fact, she had already memorized these things, just to prevent them from forgetting when she was nervous, she thought it would be better to prepare more.

Xiyan called Dongmei in, asked her to find out a more capable short dress and put it on, and asked Chunlan to call Brother Yu.

Chunlan and Dongmei looked at each other, not knowing what the girl was going to do, but they quickly followed the girl's orders.

When Brother You came over, Xiyan had already changed her clothes, and had just tied a sharp dagger to her calf.

Brother Yu was taken aback when he saw his sister's outfit, then smiled and said, "Do you want to ride a horse with me?"

Xiyan waved Chunlan and Dongmei back solemnly, and said, "Let all the servants retreat to the outside of the courtyard, and you stand guard in front, and no one is allowed to come in."

Chunlan and Dongmei glanced at each other, and retreated in response.

Brother Yu couldn't help but look serious.

The hidden guard who was guarding outside thought for a while, and still chose to stay away. Miss Wang is not his master now. If he listened to something he should not have heard at this time, should he report it to the master, or should he not report it?So don't listen to it.

Xiyan pulled Brother You to her side, and said in a low voice: "Brother You, now that you have grown up, you often complain that your sister doesn't tell you anything, but now is the time for you to really support this family." gone."

Brother Yu looked at his sister in surprise.

Xiyan patted his head affectionately, told him about the Xia family's affairs in a low voice, and finally said: "Sister must go, first, where is the kindness of their family, and second, our two families have already been tied together Together, three, my sister promised Cousin Xia to take good care of the Xia family, I can't break my word. This time my sister goes, I don't know if I can come back alive, if everything is safe, everyone will be happy, if...you don't want to Sadness, don't show your flaws, just wait for your cousin Xia to come back and find an excuse to postpone the marriage, and after a year or two, let my sister die suddenly..."

"Sister," Brother Yu interrupted her emotionally, "We can let someone else go. I don't believe that there is no one available in the Xia family. I still have a life-saving medicine here. Let's give it to the Fifth Prince. In time..."

Xiyan shook her head, "The medicine needs to be used, but it's not a whole pill." Xiyan held Brother You's hand so tightly that it almost made Brother You feel like the whole hand was about to be broken. Looking at him, he said: "That's your life-saving medicine. I wouldn't use it this time if I had no choice, but I can only ask for a quarter of it at most. When Mr. Fanghe gave the medicine to me, I I have thought about how to use it in my heart, and when you are 15 years old, use a quarter of it, and you should be no different from ordinary people, and you should keep the remaining half of it for life-saving. No more use, understand?"

Brother Yu didn't understand very much, "Sister, now I just need to adjust a little..."

Xiyan shook her head firmly. There are too many accidents in this world. Growing up in an orphanage, what she saw the most were all kinds of worldly affairs making fun of people. On my brother.

She lives more cautiously than everyone else.

To be able to live a new life, to be loved by her parents, and to have a family member by her side when she comes back, Xiyan feels that she has no regrets in this life.

She has always been apologetic to Wang Zifei and his wife. Although she is pregnant, she still has more than 20 years of memory. She is the Xiyan of the previous life, not the pure Wang Xiyan of this life, so her parents are younger than her. , she doesn't have much sense of belonging.She is kind to Brother Yu because Brother Yu is her blood relative. She treats him as her younger brother and raises him as her son.Moreover, there is some guilt towards Wang Zifei and his wife in it. Brother Yu is the only child who is their child from inside to outside.No one can take away the survival resources of Brother Yu.

Xiyan took out the medicine, divided the medicine into two with bamboo slices, then divided half from the other half and put it in a box, and gave the rest to Brother Yu to pack it up and give it to him, "Keep it safe, As long as it is not highly poisonous, half a pill is enough to save your life." As she spoke, she touched the bracelet on his left hand, and the bracelet on her left hand collided with his.

Xiyan sighed, "So you must take care of this bracelet."

Brother Yu's eyes turned red, he hugged his sister, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, I will just be more careful in the future, you can send half of it in, half of it should be able to save him."

Xiyan shook her head, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You have grown up, you have to learn to make up your own mind in the future. You will stay in my sister's yard tonight. Remember, don't let the third grandpa know that I am leaving If I haven't come back by noon tomorrow and there is no news, then you should close the door immediately to thank the guests, and you can only say that you are sick, and we can talk about it when your cousin Xia comes back."

Xiyan bid farewell to Brother You in a low voice, and the old lady in the Marquis of Pingyang said in surprise: "What did you say? Sister Yan is going to enter the palace?"

Director Xia took a look at Mrs. Zhou. The situation was urgent, so he didn't bother to cover it up. He nodded and said, "Yes, old lady, Mr. Fanghe has been Mrs. Wang's husband for a while."

"What's the use of that? It's just three or five years of kung fu. What can you learn? Why are you so nonsense? If something happens to her, how can I explain to Yuntian and the Wang family?"

Director Xia felt that Miss Wang would not do unnecessary things. He was always accurate in judging people, and that girl would be more regretful than them. It can be seen that she must have a reason to enter the palace.

And... Mr. Xia said in a low voice: "It is said that Mr. Fang He can cure human flesh and bones, and the medicine he concocts is even more miraculous. Maybe Miss Wang has some in her hand."

"That can also be sent to the palace by someone instead of going there by yourself. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Manager Xia looked at the funnel and said anxiously: "Old Madam, the time agreed between Lao Nu and Miss Wang has arrived, look..."

The old lady was secretly anxious, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "You can't harm Sister Yan, if Yun Tian is here, he won't allow it. Our Xia family has been upright all our lives, and we can't let a mentally handicapped girl show her head."

Manager Xia finally understood why Lord Hou gave the seal to Miss Wang instead of the old lady.At this time, he didn't care about it either, he just said: "May I ask the old lady to forgive me, but the younger ones are all obeying the orders of the master."

The old lady paused for a moment, she knew that her son had given the seal of the patriarch to Xiyan.She couldn't speak for a moment, she just felt that the bitterness in her mouth was all apology to Xiyan and the Wang family.

Manager Xia saluted and walked out quickly.

The Zhou family standing behind the old lady was full of bitterness. Who is that Miss Wang who didn't enter the door?Why did you start meddling in the affairs of the Hou Mansion before even entering the door?You can even direct the director Xia.

Xiyan appeared in the Pingyang Houfu with a cloak.

The old lady no longer hesitated, brought Zhou Shi over, saw Xiyan who was covered in a cloak, her mouth moved, and finally took Xiyan's hand and said: "You have to be careful, you have to come out alive!"

Xiyan didn't speak, but just nodded.

The old lady thought for a while, and said: "Your brother, you don't have to worry, as long as my Pingyang Hou Mansion is still alive, no one can bully him."

Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded her head fiercely, coincidentally, Xiao Anzi also arrived.Xi Yan saluted the old lady, and left behind Xiao Anzi and Manager Xia.

The group of three quickly got into the carriage, and Xiao Anzi gave Xi Yan the eunuch uniform that he had just taken off, and said in a low voice, "Because I didn't prepare, I can only wear this set, but the servants have only been smoked, so it doesn't smell bad. After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiyan with some anxiety.

Xiyan smiled slightly, took the clothes and thanked her.

Manager Xia and Xiao Anzi went out to wait outside, Xiyan quickly changed her clothes in the carriage, put her things away, and said in a low voice, "Come in."

Director Xia and Xiao Anzi came in, and when they saw Xiyan, Manager Xia nodded and said, "Young lady is about the same size as Xiao Anzi, and you can't tell if you don't look carefully, let's go first, there is a girl in front of you waiting to put on makeup for you. "

Xi Yan nodded.

The carriage stopped at the third fork in the road, Manager Xia accompanied Xiyan into another carriage, and Xiao Anzi left in that carriage.

A servant girl in the carriage was waiting with her things in her hand. When she saw Xiyan coming in, she didn't talk nonsense, she just confessed her crimes, opened the box and took out all kinds of things to paint on Xiyan's face.After a while, the maid looked at Mr. Xia.

Manager Xia's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he took out a bronze mirror to show Xiyan.

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment looking at the completely unfamiliar face in the mirror. The person in the mirror was [-]% like Xiao Anzi, and it was a bit unreal in the dark night, so it was even more difficult to distinguish.

Xi Yan nodded to Manager Xia.

The maid immediately packed up her things and got out of the carriage, the carriage galloped, and another one was changed at the next intersection. After turning like this, Xiyan finally arrived at the small gate on the east side of the palace at the moment of Haizheng, where people gathered in twos and threes Seven or eight eunuchs.

The carriage stopped far away, and Director Xia said in a low voice: "Girl, just follow them in. As long as you enter that door, someone will meet you. You just need to follow them in."

Xiyan looked outside and asked in a deep voice, "Is the inspection not strict?"

"There are quite a few little eunuchs who go out of the palace to work for the big eunuch every day. These guards are used to it. As long as there is no serious matter, they only check whether there are any prohibited items in the basket. They don't check anything else. You just need to take your ID card."

Xi Yan nodded.He took the small basket and slowly walked towards the eunuchs.

When the eunuchs saw Xiao Anzi approaching, they just took a look and then looked away. Everyone knew who they were, so they didn't need to say hello.

Several people were complaining in low voices that the time was not up yet.

Speaking of which, these little eunuchs also have a hard life. They only go out of the palace to do things for the big eunuch. In order to save resources, the palace stipulates the time period for the little eunuchs who work for the big eunuch to enter and leave the palace, and now is the last trip. If you can’t come back in time, you might have to spend the night outside, and if you can’t catch up with the previous trip, you can only wait outside. It’s a hot day, it’s hotter at most, and there is a cold wind at night. But if it's winter, several people can't help shrinking their necks just thinking about it.
