Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 112 Father's Love

   Several imperial physicians dared not be the masters, and asked a guard to enter the palace for instructions.

   At this time, Emperor Tai'an had already received the news that the prince was assassinated in the Marquis of Wuning. When the guards flew back to report, they only felt that the atmosphere in the palace was low, and the storm was about to come.

   "The imperial doctor said he wanted to scrape the bones to cure the poison?" Tai'an took two steps behind his back, and soon made a decision, "Let them do their best to cure the prince, or the head will not be lost."

   Emperor Tai'an has a deep mind. He is not the kind of confused emperor who can be easily deceived. With his mentality of not seeking success but seeking faultlessness for those imperial physicians, if the prince's condition is better, he will not propose a diagnosis and treatment method such as scraping bones to cure poison.

   In other words, the prince's current situation is very bad, even——

  Thinking of the worst possibility, Emperor Tai'an couldn't sit still. He walked to the gate of the temple several times and turned back. After doing this several times, he finally sat down and ordered with a sullen face: "Report the situation of the prince every quarter of an hour."

   For a moment, he wanted to go to the Marquis of Wuning in person, but reason still stopped him.

  Prince can be assassinated in Yuezhang's house. God knows there are hidden dangers. His body is full of gold, and he cannot risk it.

   This is the ruthlessness of the emperor, even if there are only two sons, the crown prince is the heir to the iron and nails, and he is still incomparable to the danger he may encounter.

   Of course, Emperor Tai'an didn't face his own coldness, he waited with worry about the prince, anxiety, irritability, and anger accumulated more and more.

  At the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, the imperial doctor listened to the Tai'an Emperor's decree sent back by the guards, and did not dare to delay any longer. First, he poured Ma Sleeping Powder for the prince, and then began to scrape the bones to cure the poison.

   Several imperial physicians cooperated with each other, sweating profusely, and finally, while holding the lantern, waited for the prince to wake up.

  Prince was awakened by pain.

  Mashuisan should not be taken in large doses. When the effect of the medicine has passed, the pain of plucking flesh and scraping bones will come.

   This is not an exaggerated statement, but it is really plucking out the flesh and scraping the bones.

  The prince screamed in pain, and he couldn't care less about his manners.

   For the prince who wanted to use the life of the person who combed his hair to quell his anger, this pain was completely unbearable.

  It hurts too much!

  The imperial doctor was unable to, so he boiled a decoction to calm the nerves and help the prince to take it, and then it was quiet.

  The sleeping prince was carried into the carriage and returned to the East Palace under the protection of the people on the inner third floor and the outer third floor.

   Emperor Tai'an can finally express his father's love with peace of mind.

Looking at the pale prince, Emperor Tai'an was very distressed, and he pressed his anger and asked Wang Gui, the prince's close servant: "The prince has Mingwei and dark guards by his side, and it will hurt a street performer. You are all dead. ?"

  Wang Gui thumped and knelt down: "Slave should die, slave should die!"

   "What was the situation at that time, please explain it to me carefully."

   Emperor Tai'an had heard about what happened at that time from several people, but there was no doubt that Wang Gui was the one who was closest to the prince and focused all his attention on the prince.

   After listening to Wang Gui wiping away his tears, Emperor Tai'an's face sank like water: "In other words, is it Tang Hua, the son of Marquis Wuning, who winked to signal that the traitor would use red silk to send flowers to the crown prince?"

   At this time, Marquis Wuning was kneeling outside the palace gate, while the rest of the Tang family were being interrogated in the Marquis' Mansion.

  Wang Gui, who has been with the prince, didn't know that Marquis Wuning came to plead guilty at the first time, but even if he knew, he would not cover it up for him.

   For Wang Gui, his master is only the prince, even if the princess hurts the prince, she should die.

   "Yes, the servants saw Tang Hua wink at the traitor many times, and because of this, the guards didn't react..."

   The more Emperor Tai'an listened, the darker his face became.

   The prince who was lying on the bed suddenly frowned with a painful expression.

   Tai'an Emperor hurriedly called: "Yuaner, Yuaner—"

  The prince's head moved slightly, but there was no response.

   Emperor Tai'an's face changed: "The imperial physician—"

   The imperial doctor who had been waiting on the side came up to check and replied, "His Royal Highness is still sleeping."

   Emperor Tai'an breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked outside.

   Concubine Zhuang, who was waiting outside, persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's very late, you've been worrying about it all day, rest early, the dragon's body is important."

   "Yuan'er looks like this, how can I rest in peace?"

   "Prince Jiren has his own celestial appearance, so he will be fine."

   Emperor Tai'an was used to being pampered, and he was really tired after being tense for so long, so he nodded under the persuasion of Concubine Zhuang.

   The concubines who came to express their concern for the prince saluted the backs of Emperor Tai'an and Concubine Zhuang: "Congratulations to the emperor."

   Among them, the leader is Concubine Jing, the mother concubine of King Wei.

  The emperor was gone, and the concubines naturally dispersed, so there was a concubine who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and said to Concubine Jing: "Sister Concubine Jing came earlier than Sister Concubine Zhuang, but unfortunately the emperor doesn't know..."

  Concubine Jing couldn't hear the overtones at all, so she pulled the corner of her lips and left.

   The concubine who stayed on the spot was so angry that she threw her veil, and scolded Concubine Jing for being unable to support the wall with mud.

   If King Wei was her son, there would be no such thing as Concubine Zhuang's slut.

  Speaking of which, the crown prince still doesn’t know what to do, so King Wei should have a chance—

   The concubine froze in her heart, and did not dare to think about it any more.

   Emperor Tai'an went to Concubine Zhuang's bedroom, where Concubine Zhuang waited and rested.

   The night was dark, the glazed tiles were covered with snow, and the snow was still falling.

   Marquis Wu Ning, who was kneeling in front of the palace gate, became a snowman and could no longer feel the existence of his hands and feet, but he did not dare to get up.

  The emperor never saw him.

   Is he going to kneel and die here?

  Wu Ninghou rolled his eyes and looked at the fluttering goose feather snow, he shook his body and let himself pass out.

   The servant who received the news did not dare to disturb the emperor, and was afraid that Marquis Wuning would be in trouble if he really froze to death, so he ordered someone to send him back. Anyway, the Marquis of Wuning was surrounded by so many officers and soldiers. If Marquis Wuning was convicted, it would be difficult to fly.

   The next day, Emperor Tai'an postponed the time of his court appearance and went to see the prince first.

   As for the matter of Marquis Wuning kneeling dizzy in front of the palace gate, Emperor Tai'an didn't even lift his eyelids after hearing this, so that the palace servants who were serving him vaguely guessed the emperor's attitude.

   On the way, there was a servant who reported in a low voice, "Prince Concubine knelt all night in the bedroom, and she still hasn't woken up yet."

   When something happened to the prince, the concubine should have stayed by the side, but the prince was assassinated in the Marquis of Wuning. Even if people didn't think the Marquis of Wuning would harm the prince, out of prudence, the concubine could not be allowed to get close to the prince.

   Hearing that the Crown Princess did this, Emperor Tai'an said lightly, "Let her get up."

   He is still waiting for the status of a busker. As for how to deal with the Marquis of Wuning, if he has any relationship with the assassin, he will naturally show no mercy. If it is purely exploited, the strength of the treatment will depend on the situation of the prince.

   Emperor Tai'an didn't come to the throne rightly. When he first sat on the dragon chair, Lei Ting dealt with a lot of his subjects. Later, when he sat firmly, he didn't want to leave a ruthless impression on his subjects.

   Although he was annoyed at the Marquis of Wuning Mansion, he didn't think too hard for the time being.

   Emperor Tai'an just walked to the prince's bedroom when he heard the cry of the prince.
