The General Is As Urgent As Law

The matter was really the same as what Jiang Ye had guessed. Listening to his tone, Eunuch Mu really thought it was Cen Lixuan's order, so he agreed.After all, it doesn’t matter whether the palace is installed or the Yizheng hall is installed. The eunuchs serving in the several palaces that the emperor often visits are under the charge of Eunuch Mu.

Jiang Ye really didn't have any plans in his heart. If he had to say it, he hadn't had a chance to thank Li Taiyi for saving him by the emperor's decree. up.

But if it was the emperor, he really would not have the opportunity to talk to the emperor like before.

That being the case, now that the emperor is seriously ill, it is not wrong for his conscience to take care of him.

Doctor Li was busy inside, and the emperor was in a coma, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked very bad.

Jiang was also standing beside him, not knowing what he could do. Doctor Li suddenly said without hesitation: "The medicine that was given to the emperor before, boil it up immediately, and add this." He said, from the medicine He took out a bottle from the box and handed it to Jiang Ye, then said, "Two drops is enough."

"Okay." Jiang Ye put the medicine bottle into his sleeves, and Eunuch Mu called the little eunuch who was in charge of decocting the medicine before, and took Jiang with him.

The emperor was in a hurry, and Li Taiyi was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He continued to inject acupuncture points on the emperor's body, and put the life-saving pills into the emperor's mouth.

Even so, the emperor didn't wake up for a while, he pinched the emperor's pulse, and dared not breathe out.

Until Jiang Ye hurried over with the freshly decocted medicine, Imperial Physician Li hurriedly ordered: "Serve the emperor to take it."

Eunuch Mu stepped forward to help the emperor's limp body, and without thinking about it, Jiang took a small spoon and blew on it, and fed it into the emperor's mouth one by one.

After feeding about four spoonfuls, the emperor suddenly coughed violently, looking terribly uncomfortable.Doctor Li waved his hand to signal them to back down, and pulled out the needle from the emperor's body.The emperor finally woke up now. He raised his heavy eyelids, looked relieved when he saw the face of Imperial Physician Li, and said, "Zhen..."

"Your Majesty, you should lie down first and have a good rest, and don't bother your heart and mind." Doctor Li said.

The emperor shook his head and continued, "Zhen, how much time is left?"

"This..." Doctor Li showed embarrassment, obviously it was hard to say this.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Even if the ministers serve you every day, the emperor has the most..." Imperial Physician Li hesitated for a while, and said the final time limit with great difficulty, "One month."

"One month..." The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and lay down, "One month is enough, and one month is enough for Qin Mu to come back."

Imperial Physician Li didn't speak, but Eunuch Mu reminded: "Yesterday General Qin sent someone to send a letter to the palace, and he will arrive in the capital in a few days."

"It's so good." The emperor said, looking around the hall, and asked, "Yu'er left?"

Jiang Ye replied: "The Ninth Prince was afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, so he specially ordered the servant to wait here. He returned to the Jiangzhen Terrace and waited for the emperor's summons at any time." This was the first time Jiang Ye had spoken such a long sentence to the emperor. He was so nervous that he couldn't understand what he said, and he didn't know if he said something wrong. After speaking, he knelt down on the ground and waited for the emperor's next words.

"It's you..." the emperor said indifferently when he saw Jiang Ye.

Due to his serious illness, the emperor's voice was very weak. It didn't sound like his voice when he was discussing state affairs with the courtiers in front of him. Instead, he sounded like a lonely old man who needed the care of his children.Jiang Ye thought so in his heart, and the tension in his heart was surprisingly relieved a lot.

"I want to rest, you all step back." The emperor turned.

Eunuch Mu and Imperial Physician Li looked at each other, even though they wanted to serve here, they knew that they should not go against the emperor's wishes.The two hesitated and didn't speak for a while, and the emperor said weakly again: "Just let Xiao Jiang stay and serve, it's also Lao Jiu's heart."

"Yes."

Jiang Ye lay on the ground in a daze, completely confused about what the emperor meant.After everyone in the inner room retreated, leaving only Jiang Ye kneeling on the ground and the emperor lying on the couch, the emperor coughed weakly twice, and said faintly, "Are you still kneeling? Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang also got up trembling slightly, and the emperor said again: "Come here, help me to sit up."

"Yes." Jiang also lowered his head, and as he said, he carefully lifted the emperor up, carefully raised the soft pillow behind his head with one hand, and let the emperor rest on it.

The emperor looked at Jiang Ye with satisfaction, and suddenly asked: "Is it really what Lao Jiu meant?"

"Well, yes." Jiang also stood aside with his head down.

"I don't think so," said the emperor.

Jiang was also taken aback immediately, he really didn't expect the emperor to say that.

"I see, you have something to say to...cough cough...cough cough..." The emperor was about to say something when he lost his breath and started coughing again. Such actions would offend Tianwei, so I could only stretch out my hands empty-handed, neither advancing nor retreating.

"Your majesty, you still..." "Ahem, it's okay." Jiang couldn't help but want to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor.After a while, the emperor calmed down, and continued with the words just now: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Jiang could only nod his head.

When he met him for the first time, he felt that this high-ranking emperor always seemed to be able to read through people's hearts.But after thinking about it, this is also normal, so to speak, he is the emperor, and after listening to the beating words of those ministers, one can understand why he is so good at reading minds.If the emperor couldn't see through Jiang Ye's stunned youth, wouldn't he be played to death by the ministers.

"Before you were not so restrained." The emperor said, "Now there is no one else, so you can just treat me as the seventh master."

Jiang also murmured in a low voice, dumbfounded: "Seventh Master can't call himself I..."

"I let you do it, so you do it." The emperor was amused by his complaint and his mood improved.

A person has been in the deep palace for a long time, used to seeing intrigues, and also figured out that no matter how far or close, everyone has their own goals. It is really strange to suddenly see such a slightly innocent person like Jiang Ye.In addition to the novelty, there are also some long-lost comforts that the emperor himself has not noticed.

Facing the emperor's words, Jiang Ye suddenly took a deep breath, as if mustering up all his courage, and said to the emperor, "I just want to thank you for saving your life last time! I heard it was the emperor... it was the Seventh Master." Let Doctor Li save my life, I don’t know what to do if I don’t repay my kindness! At least..."

Jiang Ye wanted to say, "At least I can take care of you for a while before you die", but felt that these words seemed to be waiting for the emperor to die with his fingers, so he had to stop before he finished speaking.

The emperor looked at him, and returned to the inherent expression of the "Seven Lords" before, and said softly: "I was rescued by you once in Huishan Tower last time, so let's treat it as mutual debt."

Jiang also shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of lifting my hands."

"But I don't have to do it myself." The emperor said and laughed.

But the relaxed atmosphere disappeared after a short while, and the emperor turned to ask about Cen Lixuan: "You are someone close to Xuan'er, so I'm afraid that your 'entrusted' is Shou Xuan'er?"

Jiang Ye still shook his head: "No, but I really can't say it."

"Why not?" the emperor laughed, "You just think of me as an old father, and you want to know what's going on in your young son's mind. Isn't that too much?"

"No..." Jiang quickly denied it.

The emperor coughed twice more, and then waved to Chongjiang: "Don't hold back, come and sit beside me."

Jiang didn't dare to move, only to hear the emperor continue, "I should be about the same age as your father."

"Yes." Jiang nodded and said, but he still didn't move a step.

"Look, with my body, you stand so far away, it's hard to gossip with you, and you don't want to sit down?" the emperor said, looking at Jiang Ye's crotch meaningfully, "Mr. You don’t want me to use your identity to threaten you to obey orders, do you?”

Jiang Ye was really confused by the prince's impeccable words, so he said sincerely: "I... If I sit here, as a commoner, wouldn't I offend Tianwei?"

"But if you don't come, you will be disrespectful."

"..."

After hesitating for a while, what the emperor said was a dead end for Jiang Ye, and he finally sat sideways beside the emperor as he said.Anyway, if the emperor really wanted to kill him, he might have a thousand excuses to punish him. Thinking about it this way, Jiang would feel a little bit broken, so he might as well obey his orders.

After he sat next to the emperor, the emperor said again: "You are being willful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

"I want to ask you, if you were me, who would you pass on the throne to?" the emperor said abruptly.

These words scared Jiang Ye's ass to the ground.Jiang had never been the kind of person to shrink back, but he was too frightened by this question to continue sitting there.He rolled and crawled from the couch and knelt back to the ground again, with a slightly trembling voice, he said: "Your Majesty..."

"Why are you so afraid?" The emperor sighed softly, "I value your willfulness, but you are no different from ordinary palace people."

"I..." Jiang Ye opened his mouth and said only one word, but suddenly forgot what to say next.

The emperor didn't force him to say anything more, instead he read it to himself: "Originally, Shang'er was my favorite candidate, but it's a pity... Maybe it's the sin I did when I was young, but I didn't expect it to be reported to Shang'er." on my son's head."

As the emperor spoke, his voice was slightly choked, as if he was a little sad when he mentioned the eldest prince's early death.

Jiang also raised his head tentatively, only to see that the emperor's eyes were empty, and the expression on his face was genuine grief.

"The Xue family has been full of glory for so many years. I thought they would be satisfied, but I didn't expect..." the emperor continued, "Oh, but Shang'er was hurt because of it. If Wei Yuanting had followed, perhaps Shang'er would not have left just like that. "

Jiang also listened, and doubts arose in his heart.

The death of the eldest prince has been clearly stated to the outside world by the collaborator and traitor Shang Xu. Although Jiang also knew that Shang Xu was innocent, others must think so.Especially since Shang Xu has already been put to death, it stands to reason that the emperor should have believed that rhetoric.But right now, the emperor's words directly pointed out that the Xue family murdered the prince, as if the Xue family blamed Shang Xu.

If so, why did the emperor punish Shang Xu for his crimes?

Jiang also couldn't figure it out, he said blankly: "Since we know that the Shang Prime Minister did not do it, why did the emperor punish him?"

The emperor came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Even though Shang Xu did not do it, the evidence of Shang Xu's collusion with the enemy and betraying the country is conclusive."

"But the killing of the First Prince was not the work of the Xue family." Jiang Ye said.

Originally talking about Shangxu, Jiang couldn't help but think of Guo Linchong, who died in vain and was blamed for it. As a result, before he had time to figure out what to say and what not to say, he opened his mouth and the words came out.

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes returned to him, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the inside story?"

"I..." Jiang Ye began to falter again.

If he suddenly explained everything to the emperor, would something happen to the Xue family?As he thought about it, he abruptly turned the subject around: "I just don't think it's necessary for the Xue family to do something on their own territory. Isn't that just waiting to be suspected?"

The emperor looked at him thoughtfully, but did not speak again.

After a long while, just when Jiang Ye thought that he had definitely said something wrong and was about to be sanctioned, the emperor said solemnly: "You can stay in Anshang Palace to serve."

"what?"

"Go and ask Mu Qing to come over."

"Yes." Jiang also bowed his head and said, then got up from the ground, subconsciously rubbed his knees that had been knocked for a long time, and walked out of the inner room with light steps.
