Shen Wan didn't expect that the empress dowager would vomit and faint from anger, and even lose her sight.

This incident really shocked her.

But apart from being shocked, I didn't feel anything else.

Although the Queen Mother asked the Minister of Justice to protect a trace of Yan's bloodline, that was in exchange for Concubine Chen's concealment of the truth. The Queen Mother was too partial and protective, and Shen Wan didn't have a good impression of her.

Furthermore, the eldest prince and Duke Mao privately sold grain from the Meizhou granary. The empress dowager might not have known about it when they did it. Later, when Xie Jingyan exposed the matter and Xie Jingyin wanted to investigate, the empress dowager should have known about it. At the very least, when Prince Cheng intervened, the empress dowager also knew everything.

At that time, she was not so angry that she vomited blood and fainted. Now she is so angry that she is angry at the eldest prince and Duke Mao, or is she angry at Xie Jingyan for handing the evidence to the emperor and making the good deeds of the eldest prince and Duke Mao public?

Originally, Xie Jingyan's impeachment of the eldest prince and Duke Mao at the morning court had caused discussion inside and outside the court.

Because Xie Jingyan saved the eldest prince's life, he thought that the royal princes were not only deceitful but also had blood ties with each other. However, Prince Ling saved the eldest prince's life, then turned around and stabbed him in the back.

This knife would not only send the eldest prince to the guillotine, but would at least take half his life.

If we talk about cruelty, it has to be King Ling.

First save the eldest prince and kick Prince Jin out.

Then, using the evidence from the Meizhou granary, the eldest prince was sent to the Ministry of Justice prison.

At the beginning, the eldest prince and the Prince of Jin were fighting for the position of crown prince. The fight was so intense that all the civil and military officials in the court thought that the crown prince should be one of them, but in the end, they both lost to the Prince of Ling.

People in the streets, teahouses and taverns were discussing this matter. Although everyone felt that Prince Ling was cruel, no one sympathized with the eldest prince. After all, the eldest prince had to behave himself and Prince Ling could not do anything to him. As a prince, he was still not satisfied and even sold the court's reserve grain. If the eldest prince really sat in that position, he would definitely be a tyrant.

Everyone was already talking about this matter, and the news that the Queen Mother had vomited blood, fainted, and became blind spread, adding to the topic of conversation.

As the story spread, the eldest prince was ungrateful and sent a batch of silk stained with smallpox to Prince Ling's Mansion in the name of a reward from the emperor, causing the embroiderers in Prince Ling's Mansion to be infected with smallpox and almost bringing the entire Prince Ling's Mansion to ruin.

When this news came out, many people gasped.

In this smallpox epidemic and this cold winter, if Prince Ling had not taken precautions early and provided sufficient medicinal materials and charcoal, who knows how many people would have frozen to death due to lack of medicine and inability to buy charcoal for warmth.

They all thought that Prince Ling was careless and was only concerned with preventing the smallpox from spreading in Kyoto, but forgot to strictly guard his own mansion. They didn't expect that the smallpox in Prince Ling's mansion was sent in by the eldest prince.

When it comes to cruelty, the eldest prince is the real one.

No wonder Prince Ling wanted to send the eldest prince and Duke Mao to the Ministry of Justice prison together.

Moreover, Prince Ling's mansion has been surrounded by the City Patrol for a whole month, and he was not even allowed to go out. Only two days after the ban was lifted, they already had irrefutable evidence that the eldest prince and Duke Mao had privately sold the Meizhou granary. It was obvious that the evidence had already been in Prince Ling's hands, but Prince Ling did not submit it to the emperor out of brotherhood. If the eldest prince had not repaid kindness with enmity, making Prince Ling very angry, he would not have done such a thing.

Xie Jingyan did not report this to the emperor, and neither did Eunuch Yuan. However, the news spread outside the palace and inevitably reached the emperor's ears.

The incident of the Meizhou granary was enough to make the emperor angry, but he didn't expect that the ceiling of Prince Ling's Mansion was also the work of the eldest prince. The emperor was almost angry to the point of death.

He glanced at Eunuch Yuan, "You knew about this a long time ago?!"

Eunuch Yuan knelt down and said, "I didn't mean to hide anything from you, Your Majesty. This is about the dispute between the princes, so I dare not say much. Besides, I don't know much. I just helped Prince Ling to investigate some things and arrested a maid from the Queen Mother's Palace and sent her to Prince Ling's mansion..."

"My loyalty to the emperor is evident to all."

Eunuch Yuan really didn't think about the smallpox incident. Prince Ling investigated it but neither used it as evidence to accuse the eldest prince nor told the emperor. It was only when the news spread outside the palace that it reached the emperor's ears.

Eunuch Yuan was extremely terrified. The Emperor knew that Eunuch Yuan did not dare to speak carelessly, so he was just a little angry. Everyone knew about it, but he, who should have known it the most, was the last to know it.

Yan'er doesn't need him as a father at all...

Realizing that he was dispensable to Xie Jingyan, the emperor looked very frustrated.

"Get up."

Eunuch Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

……

The next day, the spring weather was warm and gentle.

After breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan left the house together.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted. When she woke up, she couldn't see. The Imperial Hospital treated her for a whole day but she didn't get better. The Queen Mother's illness was so serious that Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan must go to the palace to visit her and show their filial piety.

Although the Queen Mother probably doesn't want to see them.

But whether they go or not is one thing, and whether the Queen Mother sees them or not is another.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan not only went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but also brought Doctor Tao with them.

Without the child, Xie Jingyan stopped riding the horse. He helped Shen Wan onto the carriage, got in himself, and held Shen Wan in his arms in a domineering manner.

As Shen Wan struggled, a muffled groan came from her, "Don't move..."

Feeling something pressing against her thigh, Shen Wan didn't dare to move at all. She did not forget that the bastard had some special fetishes, and she had no amulet in her stomach now.

A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and Xie Jingyan even suspected that he was looking for trouble. Fortunately, the hard days were over.

Afraid that he would lose control and want her in the carriage, Xie Jingyan carried Shen Wan to the side and poured himself some tea.

The carriage entered the palace unimpeded and stopped at the horse racing ground.

Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan down, and the two walked towards Shoukang Palace. Doctor Tao followed closely behind with a medicine box on his back.

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother leaned back on the large pillow.

His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless.

Yuan Zhao was taking the Queen Mother's pulse.

Zhao Ma's eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a hoarse voice, "The Queen Mother has been taking medicine for a day, why can't she see?"

Zhao Yuanzheng didn't know how to respond to this.

Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. The imperial physician prescribed medicine, not elixir, so how could it heal so quickly? Moreover, he repeatedly told the empress dowager to rest quietly, not to worry, and not to get angry. The empress dowager often saw black spots in front of her eyes when she got angry, which was a sign of the disease. He didn't know when she would be able to see the light again.

In addition, the eldest prince and Duke Mao were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and the empress dowager was constantly worried and angry, and Zhao Yuan was very distressed.

Just as Zhao Yuan was repeating what he had said before, a palace maid came in and reported, "Queen Mother, Prince Ling and Princess Ling are here to see you, and they brought Doctor Tao with them..."

How dare Prince Ling and Princess Ling come here?

The eldest prince and Duke Mao’s mansion are the people the Queen Mother values ​​the most. Prince Ling put them in prison together. The Queen Mother is already so ill, and they still come. Will they not stop until they make the Queen Mother angry to death?

However, in this matter, it was the eldest prince who did not listen to the empress dowager's advice, so Prince Ling cannot be blamed.

Aunt Zhao has a headache.

The Queen Mother's pale face took on a hint of color because of anger.

Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Doctor Tao's medical skills are better than mine. Maybe he can help the Queen Mother regain her sight as soon as possible."
