lover in the mirror

On November 22th, the 28nd year of Hongwu, the emperor had been bedridden for five days, but the morning court could not be delayed. Fortunately, the emperor had recovered his sanity after Mu Ran came to the palace.Although unable to participate in the early court, the two princes and several important officials in the court preside over the early court every day, and report to the emperor on some more important matters after the next court.

It's just that this is not a long-term solution. Both the government and the opposition understand that the last moment is coming.

Those who support the second prince on the surface are a little anxious. The current situation is very unfavorable to the second prince. Seeing that the emperor is running out of time, if he is unable to detoxify, the emperor may be unconscious someday. In a few days, how can the second prince become the crown prince and inherit the throne in a legitimate way? Or he can only wait until the prince succeeds to the throne and wait for the opportunity to usurp the throne.

When Chu Yunqi went to visit the emperor in his bedroom, the middle-aged emperor was lying on the dragon couch, staring blankly at the majestic scroll roof. Hearing the eunuch's announcement that the prince was coming, he turned his eyes stiffly. Turn to Chu Yunqi.

Chu Yunqi looked at his father like this, although he knew that it was just the effect of the fake death medicine and it would be fine in a while, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

"Cloud rise."

"My son is here." Chu Yunqi stepped on the step and moved closer.

"I suddenly figured it out recently. Even if I am an emperor, I am still a mortal after all. This is the same for a person's whole life. These days I have been sick and groggy, and I often recall the time when I was with your mother. It seems that everything was yesterday. , but she has already entered the imperial tomb, and I am going to accompany her soon."

"Father is the son of a real dragon, with the support of heaven, he will turn danger into good luck." Chu Yunqi didn't know why father suddenly brought up such a topic, was it because there were outsiders in the room who said this on purpose?Even though he was thinking this way, Chu Yunqi faintly felt an ominous omen.

"Cough, the way of heaven, the way of heaven." The emperor coughed intermittently a few more times, the cough was a bit heart-piercing, as if he had coughed up a heartbroken heart that had lasted half his life.

"Father." Chu Yunqi didn't dare to ask the emperor to say anything more, because the coughing sound really shocked him. "I will definitely find a way to detoxify, father, please rest assured."

"Invite Mu Ran over again..."

Chu Yunqi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why his father asked him to invite Mu Ran over again, but he still bowed his head to accept the order.

Miracle doctor Mu entered the palace again, and left after less than half an hour. He told the people in the palace that the emperor was getting weaker and weaker, and that if he didn't find the antidote, he might fall into a coma again.

Hearing the words, everyone lamented and mourned, Mu Ran didn't say anything more, and bowed his head out of the palace, no one noticed the obscure expression on his face at this moment.

The emperor was still lying on the dragon tower, staring blankly at the red lacquer and gold screens surrounded by three sides of the dragon tower. It is full of admonitions of diligence and love for the people.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and finally found the four words shallow in the densely packed handwriting, Xuan Yu Min Shen, it was carved with a knife secretly when he was still the crown prince when the first emperor was away, Now that I think about it, it's really rebellious.What were you thinking at that time?Probably because after inheriting the Datong, we must set up Minshen as the queen, and read the four words Qianqian before bringing her to Longta.

——The past few decades are really like a dream...

It was noon when Chu Yunqi came out of the palace.There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the eternally high autumn sun hung motionless on top, there was not a breath of wind, and the air remained motionless.In the bright sunlight, Chu Yunqi suddenly had a bad premonition, but it was just a vague and subtle feeling, and when he thought about it carefully, there was no trace.

Chu Yunqi combed everything over and over again, but he still couldn't find where the source of this bad thing came from.If there is really something wrong, it is the performance of the father today.It's just that the three people he trusts most in this world are Father, Yun Teng and Xiaochen. Chu Yunqi doesn't believe that Father will do anything against him. If he wants to give up on himself, why wait until today, it's just that vague Where does the sense of disobedience come from?

After returning to the mansion, Chu Yunqi frowned slightly when he heard that Mr. Fu took people to the market, why did he go to the street again?Yesterday, I met Chu Yunyang and caused such an incident. I don't know if I will encounter trouble again today.

At lunch time, Fu Xiaochen came back from the outside in a hurry, as if he was stuck with the lunch order.The maids saw Mr. Fu coming, Fang An set up tables and chairs, some held cups, some put chopsticks, and a group of maids served tea on small tea trays, Chu Yunqi asked, "Why do you always go out these days? shop?"

"En..." Fu Xiaochen took two sips of tea and winked playfully at Chu Yunqi, "Market research."

Chu Yunqi didn't know that the market...lost salt?What exactly is it, but seeing his rather smug expression, he guessed that he should be running around for the second biggest problem mentioned earlier, a warm current immediately flowed from the heart spring to the internal organs, with the support of the beloved one wholeheartedly, Why do you worry about not being successful?

Fu Xiaochen ate food in big mouthfuls, and he was really hungry after visiting so many shops.I don't study finance and economics myself. Although my father is in business, he just runs a few small shops and rents out a few sets of shops, which has nothing to do with high-end things like economics and finance.

Fortunately, Fu Xiaochen learned literature, and fortunately, he met a history teacher who was particularly good at talking in high school.This history teacher spoke in a very hypnotic tone, but when he was chatting, he was impassioned and eloquent, so that the students below just wanted to slap the table and say hello.When I learned about the Three Kingdoms, I used storytelling to tell the students about Zhao Zilong’s battle against Changbanpo. When I learned about the Eight-Power Allied Forces, I talked about saving the country on Sai Jinhua’s bed. When I learned about the world economic crisis in 1929, I started to talk about how the country should regulate macroeconomics. financial crisis.

Fu Xiaochen has almost forgotten a lot of things in the history textbook, but Fu Xiaochen can remember clearly the things that the history teacher talked about in class.So with the blessing of this gossip-loving history teacher, Fu Xiaochen has more or less learned how to control the economy in times of turmoil, but this kind of thing can't be done on paper, so these days he goes to Shangdu's shops more often, Find out about prices and availability of various essentials.

After lunch, Fu Xiaochen flipped through medical books alone in the study, but Chu Yunqi was still missing.Fu Xiaochen knew that he was planning secretly, and he couldn't help with such matters.It was only after coming to this world that Fu Xiaochen felt that he, who had always thought his IQ was normal, was completely in arrears in terms of IQ in Gongdou. After all, Gongdou not only needs to be suppressed by IQ, but also needs to be very sophisticated in human relationships.

As Fu Xiaochen, who has just graduated from nine-year compulsory education and has devoted most of his life to the university entrance exams, it's okay to be intrigued by people's sophistication and so on.

In the second prince's mansion, Chu Yunyang looked up at the woman who claimed to be Xiao Shuyu's personal servant girl, her tone raised slightly, showing a frivolous and distrustful tone, "You said, the princess sent you here secretly?"

"Yes." The maid was neither humble nor overbearing, she seemed to have seen the world.

"What did she ask you to do?"

"Miss asked the servant to deliver the antidote to His Highness."

Chu Yunyang's smile froze for a moment, and he still said casually, "What antidote?"

"The prince got the antidote from Mu Ran. Miss said that Mu Ran had already found the antidote. There is only one copy in the world. It's just that the prince didn't want to give it to the emperor, so he hid it privately so that no one else could find it."

"Then where did your lady get it?"

"Miss secretly exchanged it while the prince was taking a bath, so she ordered the servant to bring it to the second prince as soon as possible."

Chu Yunyang didn't really believe Xiao Shuyu. From his point of view, although the Yu family and the Xiao family were not married, they were two families after all. Even if the queen mother promised Xiao Shuyu the prosperity of the Xiao family, there was no guarantee that she would not have a secret relationship with the prince. alliance.Moreover, the crown prince has always been cautious, so it is not so easy to steal the beam.

But even though he was suspicious, since this so-called only one antidote in the world fell into his own hands, there was no reason why he should not accept it.

"I have accepted the medicine. You go back and report to your lady. If the medicine is really effective, I will never forget the achievements of the Xiao family in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this slave will leave."

Nianyu quickly walked out from the side door of the second prince's residence, her face turned pale in an instant, big drops of sweat slid down the contours of her cheeks, Nianyu quickly wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Miss, if you tell me what to do, I will definitely not let you down.

Nianyu came to a small door in the Prince's Mansion, walked through the narrow passage, and walked through a hallway, and finally arrived at the side hall, where Chu Yunqi was sitting idly inside, tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically .Xiao Shuyu sat upright on the carved red sandalwood chair next to her, her eyes lit up when she saw Nianyu coming.

Nian Yu respectfully saluted Chu Yunqi and Xiao Shuyu, Chu Yunqi nodded slightly, and Nianyu sat on the Xuanwen pouf next to Xiao Shuyu.

"The maidservant has given the antidote to the second prince. Although he has doubts, he still accepts it." Nianyu and Xiao Shuyu looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of affection.

Chu Yunqi also smiled slightly, but just looked out of the house with no bounds. "With Chu Yunyang's temperament, he has no doubts but is weird. Just accept it." No matter how doubtful you are, how many people to verify, you will eventually be convinced No doubt, because that itself is the real antidote...

Sure enough, as Chu Yunqi expected, after Chu Yunyang got the antidote, he first found a doctor who had served in the mansion for many years. This doctor was from the Yu family. Although his medical skills were not proficient, his loyalty was guaranteed. of.

The doctor slowly opened the red cloth-wrapped cork with the help of the white jade medicine bottle of tangled lotus, and there were only two pearl-sized pills lying in it, smelling the fragrance of herbs, he poured a pill into his hand and twisted it slightly. Twist, then leaned closer and sniffed carefully, before saying to the second prince

"Forgive me for my ignorance and lack of knowledge, so I can't tell what the effect of this pill is, but the ingredients used in this pill are all several precious medicinal materials. From the raw materials alone, it is a good medicine for nourishing and nourishing the body."

After the doctor resigned, Chu Yunyang ordered someone to invite a genius doctor who was invited from the world a few days ago. The genius doctor went to the palace to see the emperor, and he said that he was powerless, but since he can be called a genius doctor, he still has some skills .But after taking the pill and smelling it, he happily said to Chu Yunyang, "Congratulations, Your Highness, this is the antidote to His Majesty's poison."

"Are you sure?"

"Caomin confirmed that eating one can activate the meridians and refresh the mind, and eating two can completely detoxify and have the effect of prolonging life."

"How long can you live after eating one?"

The genius doctor was stunned, "Although eating just one can make you strong for a while, if you don't completely detoxify it, the toxicity will recur after a year or two."

The corners of Chu Yunyang's mouth rose slightly, with a harmless smile to humans and animals, "So, you can try to eat one, it will be harmless for people who are not poisoned to eat it."

"Your Highness, this..." Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunyang had already stuffed a pill into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it. "If this pill is indeed effective, I will reward you well in the future."

After the genius doctor swallowed the pill, he looked at Chu Yunyang in horror, not because he was worried about the side effects of the pill, but because of the gentle and elegant person in front of him.
