Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

After a while of fuss, everyone resumed their light-handed movements.

The curtains were low, and there was no incense in the hall. Only two windows were opened at a very far distance, and screens were used to block the cold wind from blowing directly into the hall, and they were only used for ventilation.

The two were slightly older, and there were already fine wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. The big palace maid with her hair in a bun half-kneeled on the footsteps in front of the bed.

One of them held the basin, and the other twisted the veil, wiping the sweat from the forehead and body of the person lying on the bed.

"Is the person back?"

The voice is weak, barely audible.

The palace lady leaned over, covered herself with her figure, and whispered, "There are more imperial guards outside, and they are almost going to circle the palace wall. Lin Dezi and the others can't come back at all. Don't worry, Your Highness. They have been around since childhood." There is no one who is more familiar with the nearby paths than them."

The person on the bed said something vaguely again, the maid turned her head slightly, looked at the row of people standing in the outer hall of the bedroom, a look of annoyance flashed across her expression, she quickly put back these emotions, bowed her head and said: "The Crown Princess is still worshiping the Buddha in the back hall. Di Liang tried to rush out yesterday to ask for a doctor for His Highness, but was stopped by the imperial guards and broke her leg."

The prince coughed violently upon hearing this.

The palace maid felt that she had slipped her words, and said quickly: "The injury is not serious, it's just that I can't get out of bed, it's an eventful season, it's safer for Di Liang and the Crown Princess to stay in the apse."

The prince couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"Fortunately... the sixth brother is outside... otherwise..."

"Your Majesty will always keep one." The maid holding the basin suddenly said.

After hearing such rebellious words, everyone didn't respond, and they didn't even raise their eyes, including Mr. Chen, the servant who hurried into the bedroom.

"Your Highness, let Yu Lan risk going out if it's really impossible, and find an imperial physician!"

The Yu Lan that Mr. Chen was talking about was the court lady touching the basin. The copper basin was filled with hot water, and the weight was very heavy, and Yu Lan's arms didn't even shake.She turned her head and hesitated to say something, but was interrupted by the prince on the bed.

"Yu Lan is only a master of fists and feet, and she is not a peerless expert. She can go in and out of the East Palace alone, with an imperial physician. What if she is regarded as a traitor by the imperial guards? Besides, Gu's body has been like this for many years, and it is useless to hire an imperial physician... Why don't you let Yu Lan go to the Chongyuan Hall to see the third brother, worrying that he will be treated harshly, and he doesn't even stutter..."

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently again.

Yu Lan's body suddenly trembled, and she shouted anxiously: "Not good!"

The copper basin was thrown aside, and the body rushed over, trying to block the bed.

However, before she jumped there, she froze in place, with a horrified expression, unable to move.

Manager Chen and another big court lady had already fallen to the ground without a sound. They didn't fall straight, but suddenly lost consciousness, and then a gust of wind lifted their crooked bodies and slowly put them on the ground.

Not only the people inside the hall, but also the people standing outside were not spared.

It was as if a group of sleepy people suddenly came and knocked everyone down. They leaned against the walls, pillars, and tables and fell asleep directly.

The prince tried his best to sit up, and what he saw was such a jaw-dropping scene.

In the blink of an eye, he and Yu Lan were the only people who were still awake in the bedroom.

"Cough cough."

The copper basin thrown by Yu Lan was caught by someone, without even spilling the water.

A raccoon cat squatted on the beam of the house. It stuck out its head and looked around in confusion.

"Ahu..."

The prince turned his head slowly, and finally saw the two uninvited guests.

The prince was a young man in his twenties, pale and thin, with purple lips.

While Mo Li was looking at the prince, the prince of the Qi Dynasty was also looking at him and Meng Qi.

"It turned out to be Teacher Meng." The prince's eyes fell on Meng Qi, and he smiled wryly, "No wonder it looks like entering a land of no one."

"You ever met me?"

Meng Qi didn't intend to conceal his identity, he put the copper basin in his hand on the shelf, and walked to the bedside.

The palace maid Yu Lan's eyes were about to pop out, her expression was extremely anxious.

The prince supported Yu Lan's shoulders, trying to get up with difficulty.

"do not move."

"Meow."

The voice of the ink carp and the cry of the civet cat sounded at the same time.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The prince looked at the civet cat, then at Meng Qi and Mo Li, and always felt that these two people were brought by the cat.

"Gu once saw Meng Guoshi's portrait in Jinyiwei's secret report. Although it is only three-pointed, it is barely recognizable. The reason why the Guoshi came here today is to continue to pay for the revenge of destroying the house and digging medicine three years ago?"

When the prince spoke, he was so angry that he seemed to die at any moment.

Meng Qi looked indifferent, rubbing his fingers, and suddenly said: "Jin Yiwei got me dozens of various elixir, how many did you take?"

"There is a small half of ginseng in the pharmacy of the East Palace, which was given by the emperor, and the national teacher can take it away." The prince slowly lay back on the bed, closed his eyes tiredly, and said intermittently, "Gu is about to die, I just hope The national teacher should not be angry with these innocent palace people in the palace. They are already unfortunate, but now they are trapped here by the imperial guards. , should be enough."

"Oh?"

Meng Qi felt even more unusual about the prince of the Qi Dynasty.

"Why don't you persuade me not to kill your father?"

The prince kept silent.

Meng Qi immediately looked at Mo Li, who said, "It's a heart disease, and further pulse diagnosis is needed."

Seeing the prince's look of seeing through life and death and not caring about anything, Meng Qi turned his eyes and walked to the court lady Yu Lan.

"You are very loyal, but it is a pity that your strength is not enough. Even if you put it in the Jianghu, this kind of martial arts... may not be as good as a third-rate master." Meng Qi turned a blind eye to Yu Lan's angry eyes and said, "I heard that you want Looking for an imperial physician, but unable to enter the Eastern Palace? What a coincidence, the doctor behind me is the doctor."

Yu Lan looked at Mo Li with distrust in her eyes.

What's the use of being so young even if you're a doctor?

Meng Qi noticed that when the prince heard the word doctor, his eyelids only moved, and there was no other reaction.

"You don't want the prince to die, and the entire East Palace doesn't want the prince to die, do you?" Meng Qi casually untied Yu Lan's acupuncture points.

Yu Lan didn't yell, she reached out her hand to touch her throat, and asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do? Rebellion, or assassination?"

"No no, that's what I want to ask you."

Meng Qi's expression changed, his smile disappeared, and the momentum around him was overwhelming, Yu Lan couldn't help but take a step back.

"Tell me, who is the person who tried to conspire?" Meng Qi obviously asked Yu Lan, but he was actually targeting the prince.

It's just that the prince is terminally ill and extremely weak. If he is swept away by the strength of an inner master, he will probably die on the spot.

Yu Lan said in a panic, "Conspiracy? How could the servant girl know such a thing?"

"You may not know, but the owner of this palace must know. It's interesting to say that when the doctor and I entered the palace, I happened to see a group of servants digging a hole in the deserted yard, preparing to bury a box. Inside... "

The prince suddenly opened his eyes, and then coughed violently, and blood began to overflow from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Lan was shocked, but was blocked by Mo Li when she was about to go forward.

"Stop!" Seeing that the prince was being "held hostage", Yu Lan wanted to yell anxiously.

At this time, the prince's face suddenly had a tinge of blood, and his spirit seemed to be much better.

"Yulan, wait."

The prince stopped him, and he looked at his wrist with a complicated expression.

A warm current spread to all parts of the body along with the meridians, and the suffocation in the chest eased. The prince has been ill for many years, and he has seen people who practice internal energy. He knows that internal energy can temporarily relieve his pain, but there has never been such an immediate effect. Effect.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The prince smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "The doctor has seen Gu, so he should turn around and leave now."

"I'm not a doctor, so don't be afraid if I can't cure you." Mo Li said casually.

"When Bian Que saw Marquis Huan, he turned around and ran away, why?" The crown prince continued with a wry smile, "'There's nothing to do with the department that belongs to you'."

Mo Li raised his eyes, and said solemnly: "So the prince also knows some medical skills?"

"Gu doesn't know medical skills, but he knows people's hearts, so there will always be someone who tells Gu the truth,"

The prince regained some of his vitality, and his speech was no longer frivolous and intermittent.

Mo Li continued to sound his pulse, and said slowly: "At the beginning, this disease should be due to wind evil entering the body, fever, and pain all over the body. Because I took the medicine but it didn't get better, it went on and on for a long time. Then the disease got worse, and I started to treat it for a while. When you are tired, you will feel dizzy and dizzy, your heart will hurt, and in the end you will not be able to walk at all, and you will not be able to breathe even when eating or talking."

The court lady Yu Lan listened in shock, and asked eagerly: "Doctor, His Highness's illness..."

"As the prince himself said, it's too late." Mo Li sighed.

"How could it be? Your Highness's complexion has improved a lot just now, and it is more effective than taking medicine." Yu Lan was full of hope.

"It's only a temporary solution, not the root cause, and it lasts for half a day at most." Mo Li withdrew his pulse-taking hand, shook his head and said, "If you change the prescription in time and prescribe the right medicine when you have a fever, the disease can still be cured. At the beginning, I felt dizzy because of walking and riding. When you can’t breathe, this disease may be cured. It’s too late to cough up blood now, the heart veins affect the lung veins, the blood has ruptured and the viscera are edematous, and there is nothing I can do.”

Yu Lan was trembling, and suddenly began to cry silently.

The ink carp was a little heavy, and a little confused.

"Ordinary people have no money to treat their illnesses, or they can't find a doctor. The illness is delayed, and the illness is dangerous, so there is no cure. You are the prince of the East Palace. Why didn't the imperial physician even find out the danger of wind-heat."

"Because they were perfunctory, either prescribing the Taifang, or evading each other. Your Highness has been weak and sick since childhood, and no one from the Tai Hospital would come to the East Palace!" Yu Lan was so angry that she even stuck her fingernails into her palms.

"Okay, Yu Lan, you can't blame them. Don't you know what kind of life the people in the court are living?" The civet cat licking its paw and playing suddenly smiled and said, "The national teacher wants to know who is trying to plot rebellion? In fact, it is everyone."

Meng Qi was taken aback.

Ink carp frowned deeply.

"The second emperor colluded with the outsiders. I heard that he was a master and wanted to assassinate my father. Taking advantage of my serious illness, the sixth emperor secretly borrowed the power of the East Palace and the way of the commander of the Jinyiwei to prepare to cooperate with the second emperor. Brother, I want to find an opportunity to rebel. Brother Sanhuang bribed the servants of the Wanhe Palace and put slow poison in the incense, but he was discovered. It was also because of this that he aroused the vigilance of his father and began to track down the mastermind behind the scenes , rather than the two dragons that appeared in the sky yesterday, implying ominousness."

The prince said with a half-smile, "If the investigation continues, I can only be the mastermind behind this. Because I have been protecting them, and whether they poisoned or assassinated, or even rebelled, it is not for the sake of boarding the throne." On the throne."

"..."

Not to mention the ink carp, even Meng Guoshi, who is good at strategy and well-informed, is at a loss.

"Isn't it because I want to be the emperor myself? Could it be that I want you to be the emperor?"

"I'm dying, I can't be the emperor after all."

The crown prince caressed his heart, and said in a low voice, "If the emperor takes out the throne and rewards my younger brothers, what do you think they will do? They will choose the latter between the throne and regicide."

Mo Li and Meng Qi looked at each other, feeling puzzled.

——What did Lu Zhang do?Let his son hate him so much?

There seems to be no rumors of Lu Zhang being a tyrant in the foreign dynasty. He has done nothing in governing the country, but he is also diligent.

For the sake of face, he treats his courtiers even more favorably.

"The tyrants of all dynasties have always disregarded human life, and so is my father, but he is different from those kings." The prince sarcastically said, "There used to be an emperor in the Chen Dynasty who was strangled to death on the bed by a palace man who hated him so much. In the early years, the father also beat the servants, but later he restrained himself. He would not easily beat and kick the palace servants, and changed to be a concubine and children. The prince always needs to read and read, and needs to see foreign ministers. He has not been beaten much when he is an adult. Neither of the two princesses in the palace survived. The second emperor was deaf in his left ear and was beaten when he was young. The third emperor was cowardly and could not speak because he was frightened. The sixth emperor had a weird temperament because his mother and concubine He was kicked in front of him until he was seriously injured and vomited blood. The only person my father didn't beat was me, he must have an heir, but I won't live long."

The author has something to say:

The prince's illness, coughing up blood is not necessarily tuberculosis

Streptococcal infection, fever → inflammation transfer → rheumatic heart valve disease → valvular stenosis, heart failure, small blood vessel burst, pulmonary congestion, edema
