Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Doctor Tang was horrified. There are medicines in this world that he doesn't know about?Could it be some kind of lost secret recipe of the former dynasty and the rivers and lakes?Then he shouldn't be able to detect it at all, but any medicine actually acts on the human body, and the effects are nothing more than those types, why can't he see it at all?

There are only Li Xie, Man Man, Li Deying, and Tang Yuyi in the imperial study room. Emperor Jing Yuan glanced at the four of them, squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He wanted to catch the turtle and see who would be there. Jumping out, just to clean up the redundant and ineffective officials of the court, who are greedy and disregard Dasheng's laws and regulations.

Man Man looked at Emperor Jing Yuan eagerly, and asked, "Father, what are you going to do?" Just now the son-in-law said that Father knew who it was, so who was it?Who is so impatient to want the emperor to die so that he can get on this dragon chair?

This time Manman guessed wrong, even if the princes have the idea of ​​forcing the palace at this time, it has not had time to implement it.

Emperor Jing Yuan stretched out his hand to caress the top of his daughter's head, and pressed his palm down. The soft touch warmed his heart slightly, and he said, "Don't worry about Manman, Father has his own plans."

He took a look at Li Xie, he has never seen through this son-in-law, but don't worry, he will be used by him now.

"Manman, go and accompany your concubine mother, don't meddle in this matter, just be responsible for being happy every day."

Manman tilted her head to look at him, squinted her eyes, and said, "Hmph, do you want to mix in?" After saying that, she bowed and saluted, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

When Manman returned to Yongfu Palace, He Shi was a little surprised when he saw her, he didn't expect his daughter to come back so soon, why didn't His Majesty keep her for lunch?

He didn't ask any further questions, and ordered the kitchen to cook another meal, and she and her daughter had lunch together.An hour later, Li Xie came to pick up the vines and left the palace.

The carriage was driving slowly on the flat road, Man Man stared at Li Xie, and asked, "What is the father going to do? He will use his tricks? Who gave the medicine? Big Brother, Second Brother?"

Li Xie stretched out his hand to embrace her, and said: "The former is right, His Majesty is planning to use his tricks. As for the person who prescribes the medicine, it is not the First Prince and the Second Prince. I don't know who it is for the time being."

If it is Luo Chuyun, it is also possible. Her goal is to become a queen, so Emperor Jing Yuan will not die. The eldest prince is over 40 years old. In a few years, the eldest prince will have no chance of ascending the throne. , how is she willing?

If it was Luo Chulan, if she knew that Emperor Jing Yuan had always known what she did, then in order to survive, she would definitely have to act first.

In the next few days, Manman went to the palace every day, and then followed her father's every move, and found that her father seemed to be more high-profile, his face was flushed, and he was afraid that the courtiers and brothers would not know that he was in good health. He is healthy, and he still cares about every veteran who is over [-] years old at the court meeting. He hopes that these veterans can take care of their health.

This also caused some courtiers who had already stood in line to feel very uncomfortable. Their eyes frequently went back and forth between the emperor and a certain prince. His Majesty lived so long, could the prince they supported still have a day of ascending the throne as emperor?I'm afraid they won't be able to see it.

Every bit of what happened at the court meeting will be interpreted by the world, especially now that newspapers are rampant. Ordinary people may not understand the deep meaning, but if the newspapers read it cryptically and discuss it secretly, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

Ming County Palace, the sun is shining today, shining in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Luo Chuyun is reading one newspaper after another on the round wooden table beside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Half a quarter of an hour later, she threw it casually, and with a bang, the newspaper hit the edge of the table, unsteadily, and fell to the ground, and she didn't bother to pick it up.

The millennium king and the 8-year tortoise, even the emperor would not want to live forever.But in the previous life, Emperor Jing Yuan would have passed away long ago. In this life, he is still alive, and he lives better than anyone else.

how should I do it?Either Emperor Jing Yuan abdicates to let the virtuous, or Emperor Jing Yuan dies suddenly... Luo Chuyun already has an idea in his mind, but this matter cannot be rushed, it must be carefully planned.

Jingjun Palace, contrary to Luo Chuyun's expression, Luo Chulan looked at the newspaper in hand, rubbed it with her fingertips, her lips curled up slightly, she was in a great mood.

The healthier she is now, the more severe her attacks will be. She is waiting for the moment when the emperor's joy turns into sorrow!

In this way, under the unity and joy of the court, another eight/nine days passed, and this day is still a big day. Originally, the courtiers still thought about the emperor’s health, so they should stop thinking about other things and do more practical things. , but something is wrong, His Majesty's complexion seems to be uglier than yesterday, could it be that they read it wrong?

If you can still read the wrong face, then your majesty is always coughing, what's going on?

The courtiers were playing something in the center of the hall, and Emperor Jing Yuan coughed heart-piercingly on the head. The coughing sound resounded in the hall, and the harmonious atmosphere of the ministers collapsed instantly. I saw the emperor covering his mouth with a handkerchief, and the sound of coughing kept ringing in his ears.

The court meeting was over, and there were unresolved matters in the early court. Emperor Jing Yuan sent the ministers to discuss in the imperial study room. Before the discussion started, Li Deying came in with a bowl of soup and medicine. He immediately put it away again, and became the big manager who always had a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink your medicine." Li Deying was also old, and her voice was not as sharp as before.

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at the dark potion, with obvious displeasure on his face, and said, "Drinking the medicine again? Hey, people are old, and they can't accept it."

Li Deying said with a shy smile: "It's getting colder and colder this day, Your Majesty caught a cold accidentally, and you'll be fine soon after taking the medicine."

At this time, the ministers realized that His Majesty had caught a cold!Immediately, a group of people followed to persuade His Majesty to take the medicine. Emperor Jing Yuan glared at the courtiers angrily, picked up a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Bitter, astringent, sweet, Emperor Jing Yuan thought with a blank face, and told the imperial physician not to put Coptis chinensis, why didn't he listen?

Tang Yuyi said that he was wronged. He did not put Coptis chinensis in it. The medicinal material itself will have a bitter and astringent taste. Unless the medicinal material is repeatedly purified and then mixed with other medicinal materials, it will not be completely free of bitterness.

The ministers were distracted. His Majesty seemed to be in good health a few days ago, but when the weather changed, he caught a cold. It seemed that he was really old.

For several days in a row, Emperor Jing Yuan's body seemed unable to recover. His originally rosy face became pale and thinner day by day, and his eye sockets were dark and sunken. However, within a few days, the emperor seemed to be seriously ill.

In the evening, the clouds were thick, and the sky began to drizzle. In Yongfu Palace, Mrs. He was sorting out his things. He would take them to Yongzhang Hall later. When he called his concubine to bed, he went to bed in the back hall of the imperial study, and when he called his concubine to bed, he went to sleep in Yongzhang Hall.

The courtiers saw Emperor Jing Yuan's face was ashen, they thought it was real, but in fact it was made up by He Shi.That's right, starting from the ninth day, the pale and gray makeup on Emperor Jing Yuan's face gradually evolved day by day.

Mrs. He wrapped her cloak tightly, and the maid held an oil-bone umbrella. A group of people hurriedly walked in the rain until they arrived at Yongzhang Palace. There is no need for them to serve on the side of the temple, not to mention that it would be bad for them to stay.

A patient must have the self-consciousness of a patient, so Emperor Jing Yuan will be in the bedroom of Yongzhang Hall, and Li Deying will guard the bedroom, and only opened the door when he came back.

The entire Yongzhang Hall is surrounded by Xuanyi Guards and Imperial Guards, and it is such an environment as it is said that it is difficult to fly with wings.

Tonight's rain was a bit long and pattering, and it didn't stop until midnight, and the cold wind blew the windows in the corner and rattled.

Outside the palace, many old men in the capital couldn't sleep at night, and the lamps in the study room were kept on for a long time, until it was time to go to court. They just washed up briefly, and then went out to go to court in good spirits.

At this time, the sky was dark, and although the rain stopped, the cold wind passed by, piercing into the bottom of my heart, making people shiver.

Ministers from all walks of life gathered in the palace one after another. When they heard the bell of the palace going to court, the ministers lined up and walked slowly into the hall, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

I don't know if it was the courtier's illusion, but everyone found that the light in the hall seemed to be much weaker today, and all the courtiers looked inexplicable, and the ministers who were more active in the past were all silent at this moment.

Maybe after waiting for a stick of incense, or maybe half a quarter of an hour, or a quarter of an hour, footsteps finally sounded in the quiet hall. The footsteps were very heavy, step by step, as if stepping into the hearts of the ministers.

Li Deying's voice sounded, and the ministers got up after saluting, and took the opportunity to glance at the emperor above, and the hearts of the ten or so ministers standing in front jumped suddenly.

Although His Majesty's complexion was not good yesterday, it wasn't so bad?It seemed that His Majesty's spirit was sucked away by a ghost overnight.I heard that Concubine Zhen is taking care of His Majesty recently. Could it be that Concubine Zhen seduced His Majesty regardless of His Majesty's dragon body during His Majesty's illness, which caused His Majesty's lack of energy?

Many ministers shook their heads, thinking that Concubine Zhen had kept herself safe for more than ten years, and she had no prince under her knees, so it was impossible for her to do such a thing that ruined His Majesty's dragon body, so the truth is that His Majesty's body has indeed something wrong?

Li Xie has good eyesight, so he can clearly see Emperor Jing Yuan's condition when he stands in the middle. If Luo Churan and Luo Chulan take a look, they may be able to see the abnormality of Emperor Jing Yuan at a glance. They are all a group of vulgar straight men who don't know anything about women's makeup. They don't know that makeup can not only make people more beautiful, but also make them uglier.

The minister played as usual, and Li Deying looked at the emperor frequently, unable to hide his worried expression. Emperor Jing Yuan coughed from time to time, coughing violently, as if he wanted to spit out all his internal organs.

Suddenly, the coughing stopped, and the emperor on the dragon chair shrank to the ground. Li Deying screamed in horror: "Your Majesty?"

The minister who was reporting the matter had his eyes wide open, and his hands were clenched unnaturally. The other ministers raised their heads, with expressions of surprise and worry on their faces. The eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince Five people have rushed forward one after another.

"Father?"

Li Deying had already hugged Emperor Jing Yuan's head first, but he was old and had no physical strength, so he couldn't hold Emperor Jing Yuan in his arms.

The fifth and sixth princes are younger and have good physical strength. One of the brothers hugs the upper body and the other lifts the lower body. The other princes also help to support the body.

"Hurry up, Doctor Xuan."

Immediately, under Li Deying's instructions, the princes carried Emperor Jingyuan back to Yongzhang Hall in a blazing fire. He heard the movement, ran out to have a look, and said in horror: "Your Majesty?"

Then she gave way in a panic, and when the princes put Emperor Jing Yuan on the bed, she hurried forward to serve him.

Imperial physician Tang and three other imperial physicians were hurriedly dragged over, and before they were calmed down, they quickly knelt down in front of the dragon bed and began to diagnose the pulse one by one.

At this time, the courtiers had already crowded the outside of Yongzhang Hall.

Li Xie and the other three sons-in-law stood behind the princes, and did not surround them. Compared with the nervousness and concern of the others, Li Xie's face was expressionless, making it impossible to see what his emotions were.

Doctor Tang and others started to drop their book bags again. Anyway, it is enough to fool these laymen with technical terms. If your majesty is not in good health, just rest and recuperate for a few days. If your majesty catches a cold, just take a good rest.

If the expressions of the three imperial physicians of the Tang Dynasty were not so determined, the ministers might believe that at such a time, the calm expression of the imperial physician would make people feel that there were loopholes everywhere, and the princes would not believe it. How could it be possible to fall off the dragon chair?

Li Xie was amused in his heart, he really couldn't tell, Emperor Jing Yuan was so professional in acting, how many people would be tricked into it once he sang a play?

Tang imperial physician prescribed a prescription to boil the medicine, about two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Jing Yuan woke up in time, and the medicine was ready at this time, looking at the dark bowl of medicine in front of him, the corners of Emperor Jing Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, his His eyes flicked across the crowd, and finally fell on Li Xie. If others couldn't see the interest in Li Xie's eyes, it didn't mean that Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't see it.

"I'm fine." Generally, people who are sick would emphasize that they are not sick, but Emperor Jing Yuan's words made the courtiers believe that he was seriously ill. He leaned weakly on Li Deying, and the eldest prince and others rushed to feed the medicine, but Emperor Jing Yuan stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly at Mrs. He, the first prince and the others moved out of their seats slightly uncomfortable, and then watched Mrs. He feeding his father the medicine spoon by spoon.

After the medicine was finished, Emperor Jing Yuan looked at the people in front of the bed, his son, son-in-law, and the more favored nephews of the clan.

"It's all gone, I'm fine." Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand weakly, and then the five eldest princes glanced at each other, then knelt and kowtowed: "I don't want to disturb my father's recuperation, please take care of the dragon's body."

The princes have left, so what are the princes and nephews doing?After a while, the entire bedroom was empty, and all the ministers outside were sent away.

Seeing that there was no one, Emperor Jing Yuan threw off the brocade quilt and got out of bed. Li Deying stood aside with his head bowed, and even He couldn't help but smile.

Emperor Jing Yuan just glanced at the two of them and didn't say anything.

The fall of Emperor Jing Yuan immediately made the palace lively. Concubine Liu Gui, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Rong Hui, Concubine Cai Xian and every other concubine were moved. The low-ranking concubines also visited each other, and in this cold winter, the palace became lively all of a sudden.

Outside the palace, the officials of various factions hurriedly found a time to get together and discuss, the emperor's illness means that some kind of news has come out, should they do something?

In the marketplace, people are also discussing this matter, some are simply worried about Emperor Jing Yuan's health, frankly speaking, Emperor Jing Yuan is a good emperor, they don't want to change emperor so soon, but this matter It is not up to their willpower to make the decision. If you want to choose one among the princes, who should you choose?

After noon, the imperial palace issued an imperial decree, ordering the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers and other important ministers to be the main ones, and the five princes to be the assistants to handle political affairs together. It's like an invisible storm is coming.

In the evening, the sky was dark, and the bustling streets in all parts of the capital were basically closed. Even if the brothels in the Red Street District were originally full of feasting, there were only two red lanterns hanging high at the end of the street, bringing a little light to the dark street.

Jingjun Prince's Mansion, Luo Chulan is still waiting for Zhao Qi to come back from get off work. What happened today is enough for her to laugh wildly in her heart. Once this kind of medicine takes effect, there is no cure. She is waiting for the news of Emperor Jing Yuan's death, but here Before, what should she do to save her own life?Of course, Emperor Jing Yuan had better not think of her.

After a busy day, Zhao Qi returned to the mansion and saw his wife's beautiful face waiting for him under the lamp. Even though the cold wind was biting his bones, his heart was as warm as spring.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Luo Chulan stepped forward gracefully.

Zhao Qi grabbed her hand, nodded and said, "I've already used it, don't worry about it."

"That's good. I also know what happened at the court meeting. Don't worry about Your Majesty. His Majesty was still in good health a while ago. It doesn't make sense, but he just fell down after catching a cold and couldn't get better."

Luo Chulan reached out and took off Zhao Qi's coat. Hearing what she said, Zhao Qi sighed slightly, and said after a while, "Maybe not this time."

After a pause, Zhao Qi said: "You didn't see the face of the emperor. I can't believe it. Half a month ago, he was still alive and well, but today he looks so twilight."

Luo Chulan raised her eyes and said in surprise, "How is that possible?"

"Yeah, I also find it hard to believe, but if you have seen the ghostly look of the emperor, you will not believe that he is fine." Zhao Qi was troubled: "It is really a bad thing that the emperor did not appoint a crown prince. "

Then Zhao Qi looked a little serious, and said: "Tomorrow, I will discuss it with my father. Over the years, we have gotten closer to King Sujun. Although we have not completely offended other princes, this kind of thing does not allow us to be fooled."

Luo Chulan pulled her lips slightly to the left. Hearing this, she sighed and said, "Since ancient times, for that position, how many people have shed blood and sacrificed? How many people were implicated innocently."

The couple were silent for a moment, but Zhao Qi was purely worried, while Luo Chulan was thinking, what should be done next?If the second prince cannot be allowed to jump out first, then it is true to let the other princes jump out first.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, no, it’s not called Prime Minister’s Mansion now. The plaque hanging outside the mansion is Cai Mansion. Cai Xiang’s age is 20 years older than Emperor Jingyuan’s. If he’s still alive, he’s already in his 80s. Unfortunately, He didn't live that long, having passed away seven years ago.

Without Cai Xiang, the third prince would be without a powerful helper to make suggestions. Cai Jiachang, a cousin who is not capable enough, but a cousin with super ability is not only his cousin, but also his brother-in-law. He is his father's right-hand man. The emperor will not let him help him do treasonous things.

Emperor Jing Yuan fell ill, and the big court meeting and the small court meeting in the morning were cancelled, and all matters were discussed and dealt with by the ministers.Last night, Li Xie and Man Man came back to live with Cai's house. It happened that Li Xie told her elder brother Cai Jiachang to do something. The Luo family was ignorant of the affairs outside the court. In this case, she was only worried about whether her son would Affected by this storm?Of course, Li Xie told her not to worry, so she could stay at home, so she would listen to her son.

As for Cai Jiachang, Li Xie was mainly worried that he would make a fuss with the third prince. The third prince's baby would definitely be used as a stepping stone, and hoped that he would not be so stupid to jump out first.

So, the next day, before Li Xie went out, the third prince was welcomed.

The third prince discussed with his staff and subordinates for a long time, but they couldn't come up with an effective solution, so he could only wait and see, so he came to test his cousin and his cousin today.

Li Xie glanced at him and said, "Cousin, it's better to be still than to move at a time like this. Besides, it's your father who is sick. You don't care about your father's condition, and you still have the mood to think about other things. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" ?”

The third prince suddenly felt that his cousin had stabbed him with a sword. Why would his conscience not hurt?He looked a little gloomy, put the teacup in his hand heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Third cousin, what you said is serious to me. Father is sick, so I am naturally worried. But father is not just my father." Father, he is the emperor of the world, and the status of the emperor cannot allow me to simply treat him as a father."

Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Under normal circumstances, what he thought was right, but what happened to him was a fake incident. Although after the incident was over, Emperor Jing Yuan would not do anything to his sons, but he Jumping out impatiently, doesn't that make him look like a fool?

"These years, you have been turning a blind eye to my overtures. At this time, can you still be so indifferent? Yes, you are not only my cousin, you are also the son-in-law of my father, the sister-in-law of our brothers, Brother-in-law, so whoever sits in that position doesn't matter to you, but is it really not a hindrance? I am your cousin, and we are the closest in terms of relationship..."

Li Xie understood what the third prince had said, but this guy was at the wrong time, he looked away and said uncomfortably: "You're right, but I can't do that."

The third prince gave him a hard look, turned around and left angrily, Li Xie said something behind his back: "Cousin, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

The third prince glanced back and left with a sneer. He thought in his heart that one day, he would never use this guy, just to see if he was in a hurry.

Li Xie was helpless, he thought about it, let this guy disappear when the turmoil was the most heated, without him as the master, his subordinates should not dare to act rashly.
