Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Emperor Shengping led the Crown Prince and Wang Xifeng out of Zhaoyang Palace and pointed at the Crown Prince: "Take your Concubine to have dinner. After dinner, come to the Purple Palace to see me."

The prince agreed and accompanied Wang Xifeng back to Chengxiang Palace.

On the way, Wang Xifeng asked him in a low voice: "I wanted to ask you just now, but I didn't dare. We have all moved here, what about you? Are you staying in Lizheng Hall by yourself?"

"Yeah." The prince looked at her and laughed, "Without your noise, I can have a few days of peace and quiet! Why do you pity me?"

Wang Xifeng shrank her neck and whispered, "How could that be possible? I know that before the abdication ceremony, you will probably have to fast. There are many things to deal with."

He quickly changed the subject, "And Ke Tao and the other two.

"He Ke is easy to deal with, just leave it in the princess's mansion and don't let her move it back and forth.

“After the ceremony is over, I will have prepared her residence. Then, I will let Princess Zhai come with her to the palace, along with Sister Lin. The three of them can live together in Heke’s palace.

"But what about Brother Tao? The Eastern Palace is fine, as it is a small place. Chongren Hall is only a few steps away from Cheng'en Hall, and it takes more than half an hour to walk back and forth.

"But once he enters the Daming Palace, a child like Tao will probably have to live with the Crown Princess.

"What about his homework? Should I also start thinking about the palace where Brother Tao lives?"

The prince shook his head: "Even if it's you, he's still too young. I'm afraid he'll have to live with his mother in the future.

"As for the classes, we don't have to worry about that. Father has already started looking for a tutor for him. Lin Ruhai's qualifications are too shallow, so he can only serve as the director of the Imperial College and tell stories to Brother Tao.

"A tutor who can seriously teach the Four Books and Five Classics must be a great scholar."

Wang Xifeng listened and smiled quietly with her hands covering her mouth.

The prince glared at her: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing at anything. I just think... sometimes it's not a happy thing to have parents who are too capable.

"For example, the old ladies in the Rong and Ning mansions are well-informed, intelligent and tactful. Their sons, who are in their forties or fifties, have gray beards, but they still have to take care of things on their own!"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and joked.

The prince glared at her again: "Don't talk nonsense! Tomorrow when your parents come to the capital, I want to see if you dare to refute them when they ask you to do something!"

"Then just wait, I will definitely show you something new and exciting!" Wang Xifeng said coquettishly and charmingly.

The prince chuckled lightly, without any temper at all. Even the slight resentment that had accumulated in Zhaoyang Palace just now disappeared without a trace.

When they arrived at Chengxiang Hall, Qinghai eagerly heated up the prince's regular dish and brought it up. Xiaoyi smiled and said, "I didn't tell the chef that it was for Wang Liangdi."

This would avoid alarming that group of people, otherwise Wang Xifeng would have no excuse to cause trouble.

The prince pointed at him and scolded him, "It's a big deal to watch the fun!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Qing! I'm starving. Excuse me, I'll eat first!" Wang Xifeng didn't care about the prince and Qing Hai's intentions. She sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

Seeing how hungry she was, the prince couldn't help but feel distressed. He subconsciously reached out to serve her soup himself: "Slow down, you're choking!"

He became increasingly dissatisfied with Liu Shang, as well as Empress Mo and Nanny Hai.

After Wang Xifeng had eaten her fill, Aunt Meng and the others also finished their meals, and the guards brought Wang Xifeng's long whip from the East Palace. Ru'er even thoughtfully prepared a set of crimson Hu clothing for her to use more easily.

The prince warned again: "Don't get really angry with them, especially don't hurt yourself."

Then he got up and went to the Zichen Hall.

Zichen Palace.

As soon as Emperor Shengping came back and sat down, he ordered Zhang Yuanpan and Li Wan'an to come over.

——Li Wanan hid behind the screen, while Zhang Yuanpan answered in front of the steps.

"I noticed that you were very hesitant in replying at that time, and I ignored you in front of the Queen and the Crown Prince. Now tell me the truth, how is the Queen's illness?" Emperor Shengping reached out and took the pulse case presented by Dai Quan, took a look at it, and put it aside.

Judge Zhang could no longer stand, his knees weakened and he knelt down with a thump, sweat pouring down his face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my crime of deceiving you!

"Your Highness... it was just a food conflict that caused a slight poisoning. Just slowly recuperate and get rid of the toxins, and that's it.

"But the queen herself was extremely worried, and she barely woke up and even vomited blood.

"I smelled the blood carefully. It was not only fishy, ​​but also bitter and sour. Although 70% of the toxins were vomited out, my five internal organs are damaged and my body is in great trouble!

“I’m afraid this kind of conditioning will take more than three to five years to achieve!

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent..."

Emperor Shengping's eyebrows suddenly raised high: "You mean, the toxins in her body were forcibly condensed together, and then spit out with that mouthful of blood?"

"Yes." Zhang Yuanpan was puzzled again, "But the medicine I prescribed and the acupuncture I performed before could not achieve this effect. I don't know what kind of expert prescription Zhaoyang Palace found."

Expert, secret recipe.

He thought that even though he had ordered his men to surround the Zhaoyang Palace, they could only surround the outside of the palace.

Wang just said that when she entered the palace gate, she found that there was only one palace maid guarding the gate, and no one stopped her all the way in...

In particular, the Queen's confidant, Hai, not only said that everyone except herself would be excluded from meeting the Queen, but why...

Emperor Shengping pondered for a moment, then looked up at Dai Quan and said, "Check."

Dai Quan said nothing, just bowed, stood up and walked out.

"Things have come to this. Please do your best to take care of the Queen's health." Emperor Shengping sighed and waved his hand tiredly, asking Zhang Yuanpan to leave.

Judge Zhang bravely looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty has been feeling unwell these past few days. Would you like me to take your pulse?"

"No need. I'm just tired. If the people in the palace stop making trouble, I'll be fine!" Emperor Shengping waved his hand impatiently to send him away.

Judge Zhang lowered his head and walked out.

In the hall, apart from Emperor Shengping himself and a few imperial guards standing far away, the only person left was Li Wanan standing behind the screen.

Li Wan'an came out from behind the screen and bowed respectfully beside Emperor Shengping.

"Take a look at the pulse case." Emperor Shengping pointed to the booklet he had just placed aside.

Li Wanan bowed in agreement, picked it up, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "If you follow the previous prescription, the Queen will wake up after another three days of coma, and then about half a year.

"But looking at this pulse case, I'm afraid that Judge Zhang wants to give the queen some tonic. If this happens, the two medicines will conflict with each other, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold out for two or three months."

"Can you see how the Queen forced the poison out?" Emperor Shengping looked straight at Li Wan'an.

Li Wanan didn't look at him, but lowered his head for a while before slowly shaking his head: "This recipe of mine is not my own creation, but a modification of an ancient recipe.

"It's hard to say. Will someone make an antidote for that ancient recipe and give it to the Queen?"

"But how did that person know which antidote to use?" Emperor Shengping's eyes were like knives, full of murderous intent, "Li Wanan, who else knows this medicine?"
