Love for the little prince

The East Palace was in chaos, the maids and eunuchs came in and out of the Prince's bedroom in turn, and Imperial Physician Bai, who had long been a frequent visitor to the East Palace, was packing up the medicine box.

"His Royal Highness's throat was burnt. Fortunately, he only drank a sip of the poisoned soup. If you add another spoonful of the dose, it may be impossible to recover."

Xu Hu was on the side, his ugly face wrinkled into a ball, and he hurriedly asked.

"But there are other diseases? What about the sequelae?"

Doctor Bai paused, and couldn't help but sigh.

Resenting bitterness, he said: "It depends on His Highness's good luck, when he wakes up, please send someone to call me over immediately, then the conclusion can be made.

It's just, just..."

"Just what?" Liang Chi, who was standing at the head of Jin Yuan's bed, asked coldly.

"It's just that your highness is pitiful! Since your highness was three years old, I have watched him drink bitter soup. Your highness is innocent and cute, treats people with courtesy, and never has the intention of harming others. Why, how did someone do something to him?!"

Physician Bai patted the box angrily, and worried that Jin Yuan had just been tossed a lot, so he didn't dare to wake him up loudly.

He shouldn't have said these words, they are all slaves, all the nobles in this palace are their masters, how can a slave be dissatisfied with his master?

Hearing what he said, Liang Chi and Xu Hu didn't speak, but they could see their approval of Imperial Doctor Bai from their faces.

Jin Yuan was still in Prince Yu's Mansion last night, because he was in bed and didn't take much rest, and this happened again today. Doctor Bai said that he would wake up tomorrow at the latest, and at the earliest two o'clock tonight.

Eunuch Xu sent Royal Physician Bai out in person, Liang Chi was the only one left standing in the magnificent palace, with his thin eyelids drooping, his eyes locked on the little prince on the bed.

On weekdays, Jin Yuan is always heartless. If he is bullied, he will only get angry for a while or cry. Two plates of snacks or novel gadgets can make the prince happy.

Now he was lying quietly on the bed, his face was still pale, just after the doctor Bai came, Liang Chi tied his arms from behind to induce Jin Yuan to vomit, after tossing for a long time, Jin Yuan was tortured miserably.

Liang Chi's dark eyebrows softened when he remembered that the maid who was born on the other side was taken to prison by other guards in the East Palace.

Bending down, according to Doctor Bai's instructions, dipped a small wooden stick wrapped in cotton into water, and dabbed it onto Jin Yuan's dry lips bit by bit.

In the corridor outside the East Palace, Doctor Bai and Xu Hu walked side by side on the stone road, both of them were sad.

"Has this matter not reached the emperor's ears yet?"

Xu Hu turned his head, checked around behind him, then turned his head and lowered his voice.

"The rumors must have been passed on. With regard to the matter of the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, what can escape the attention of the master? It's just a matter of whether you want to take care of it or not."

Imperial Physician Bai shook his head helplessly, his voice was equally soft, "Your Highness is the crown prince, the emperor, the emperor can just watch him..."

Xu Hu reached out and patted the back of his hand.

"Physician Bai, our family doesn't treat you as an outsider. If you think carefully about the grievances His Royal Highness has suffered, if there is no acquiescence from the emperor, who would dare to really make mistakes?

In the end, it's just that the emperor sees that His Highness doesn't have the blood like a king, so he doesn't care about him. "

It is said that Imperial Physician Bai no longer speaks. It is true that the emperor finds His Highness the Crown Prince weak and displeased, but there are no hard charges. The Crown Prince cannot easily choose another candidate. If he breaks the rules of his ancestors, what else can he use to rule the world?

What's more, everyone in the palace knows how the former king died suddenly.

The second-ranked Emperor Ye Jing is optimistic about the second prince Jintai, if he encourages the second prince to sanction His Highness the Crown Prince, it will be like repeating the emperor's mistakes.

Therefore, the emperor is in a dilemma, and it is up to heaven to decide who is the ultimate heir to the throne, the crown prince or the second prince.

The two continued to walk forward, Xu Hu pressed the flat road in front of him, and heard another sigh from Doctor Bai.

"Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Your heart is unpredictable."

After Bai Yuyi left, the second prince Jintai, Yuwang and others sent him to visit Jinyuan, but Liang Chi politely persuaded him to go back.

He didn't dare to take another half step away from Jin Yuan. Zhen Guosi found out about Jin Yuan's murder, and specially approved Liang Chi to take a leave of absence from duty for two months.

Liang Chi crouched on the candlestick next to Jin Yuan's bed and wrote a post. He found Xiao Dezi and asked him to send it to a guard named Lu Zhengli in the imperial prison, while he stayed by Jin Yuan's bed.

As the sun was setting, Xiao Dezi ran in and told Liang Chi that Lu Zhengli was looking for him.

Liang Chi strode out to find someone after calling for Eunuch Xu to stay by Jin Yuan's side.

Lu Zhengli and Liang Chi met each other in Southern Xinjiang in the early years, and later became good brothers. Now they are working in the imperial prison. Liang Chi approached him to inquire about the situation of the maid who was sent in today.

The two stood under the tree outside the side hall, both wearing black martial robes.

"The court lady has a very hard mouth, her tiger's mouth has thick calluses, and she won't confess even with torture. It looks like she has received professional training. The prison guards couldn't pry her mouth open, and finally bit off her tongue herself."

Liang Chi's eyebrows tightened, and he heard Lu Zhengli say again.

"However, the autopsy in Zhao Prison found a tattoo on her heart, and it was only determined that she was from Xichang Mansion."

"Ah."

Liang Chi narrowed his eyes, Xichang Mansion.

Xichang Mansion is the mansion of Wang Ge, the minister of the auxiliary government. His royal family has assisted the Dachang royal family for generations, and he was deeply loved by Emperor Yejing.

And Wang Ge Sulai is on the side of "not supporting Jin Yuan as the prince". Thinking about it this way, the answer is self-evident.

These old ministers really took great pains to support Jintai in his position.

When Lu Zhengli left, he punched Liang Chi, wanting to say something with a smile——

"Take care of your little prince, today is just the beginning, maybe there will be some obstacles in the future, and the palace will probably change drastically."

How could Liang Chi not know that the sunset glow in the sky was next to the setting sun, and the geese were flying north. He stood on the white marble steps, staring at the calm and magnificent palace courtyard, but in fact it was full of wind and clouds.

Jin Yuan woke up at two o'clock in the night and opened his mouth to call out, but found that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't make a sound.

Fear engulfed his whole body for a moment, candles were burning all over the room, Jin Yuan lifted the brocade quilt, and hooked his fingers to the side of the bed to hang a bell.

With a crisp ticking sound, Liang Chi, who was leaning on the chair with his back to the bed, opened his eyes.

Walking to the edge of the bed in two steps, he saw the little prince who had woken up with a teary face, and hurriedly put on his shoes.

Seeing Liang Chi cover the light, Jin Yuan raised his head, and tears flowed out of his eyes more quickly. He grabbed Liang Chi's wrist with one hand, and pointed his index finger at his mouth with the other hand and shook his head.

Liang Chi's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Jin Yuan who was struggling to breathe like a puppy, hugged him into his arms, and shouted out of the bedroom.

"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid." The big palm clasped the little prince's fair neck, soothing his fear.

Imperial doctor Bai arrived in the palace a quarter of an hour later, checked Jin Yuan's throat and felt relieved.

Not exceeding his expectations, Jin Yuan's throat was burned by the medicine, his tongue and throat were damaged, and his speechlessness was short-term.

Prescribed the right medicine to appease Jin Yuan, and within half a month he could speak normally.

Jin Yuan was not used to being dumb at first, but it was a blessing in disguise, and Emperor Yejing spared him from court affairs.

When his Tai Tuo came to see him, he couldn't help sighing when he saw Jin Yuan writing and telling him that he didn't have to go to the morning court.

My silly highness, the emperor is obviously trying to exclude you, why do you still think that you have taken advantage of it...

Jin Yuan is still very happy without having to meet his fearful father and hated ministers, but he is too boring.

There are no close playmates in the palace, and he can't talk, he doesn't have to play with this, and he doesn't have to play with that, and if he pulls Liang Chi, he will only stare and stare, and there is no fun at all.

Fortunately, there was Xu Hu in the East Palace, who alerted Jin Yuan, so Liang Chi took Jin Yuan out of the palace to play.

The world outside the palace is wonderful. Jin Yuan hasn't been out of the palace for a long time. Both of them are dressed in casual clothes.

Liang Chi took him to eat and buy something, and Jin Yuan would squeeze in to join in the fun as soon as he saw a crowd of people.

Liang Chi didn't stop him, and just stood behind him as a silent guard, protecting him from being squeezed by others.

When the sun was about to set, Jin Yuan reluctantly went back with Liang Chi.

At this time, Liang Chi was still holding Jin Yuan's wrist.

Jin Yuan held a string of candied haws in his other hand.

Liang Chi was a little confused, looking at the palace gate not far away, he asked what was in his heart

"Yuanyuan, are you willing to live with me outside the palace?"
