King's Landing [Rebirth]

After a few more days, the emperor still didn't wake up, and he could only feed some liquid food into his stomach every day. Not only was his complexion pale, but he was also very thin. It seemed that he might go west at any time.

King Yi Sima Kuo knelt beside the dragon couch and stared at his face, clenched his hands in his sleeves, thinking of what the ministers said in his palace last night, he couldn't help showing a sneering smile.

Prince Rui has no intention of taking the throne?snort!Those old men were really fooled by Sima Rong's hypocritical appearance!How could the direct prince have no resentment after suffering for so many years?If you don't have any interest in the throne, why rush back to the capital after the crown prince is deposed?

Footsteps came from behind, Sima Kuo glanced at the hourglass next to him, slowly loosened his fists, stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager and Sima Rong who came in: "Empress Dowager, brother."

The Empress Dowager said with concern: "Kuo'er doesn't look very well, he must be very tired, go back and rest quickly, Rong'er will stay here for the next two days."

Sima Kuo smiled and said: "It's okay, this is the duty of being a minister and son, but Second Emperor Brother, after all, he has not recovered for a long time, so he should pay attention to rest."

Sima Rong smiled and said, "Thank you, fourth brother. My brother is indeed in good health. The genius doctor is very capable." As he spoke, he suddenly revealed surprise, and turned to the queen mother, "Since the genius doctor can cure my grandson's chronic illness for many years, Maybe it can also wake up the father!"

The corner of Sima Kuo's eyes twitched, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was startled: "Really?"

"Grandson can't guarantee it, but the genius doctor is indeed skilled in medicine. You might as well let him try it, maybe there will be a turnaround."

The queen mother nodded slightly.

"This matter is inappropriate!" Sima Kuo realized that he seemed to be in a hurry after finishing speaking, he hurriedly stabilized his expression, and said with a frown, "Father is a noble dragon, how can he let people outside the palace treat him at will? There are so many imperial physicians here , is it not as good as a foreign doctor?"

Sima Rong saw the displeasure on the face of the judge of the Taiyuan Hospital who was guarding by the side, and the corners of his lips were almost invisible: "I have been lying in bed for many years without improvement, and finally I was healed by a divine doctor."

Ji Yuan judge frowned and shook his head: "Your Highness Prince Rui's words are wrong, that miracle doctor may indeed have great medical skills, but His Highness's leg ailment is mainly due to the hot spring there."

Sima Kuo agreed: "Second Brother, you should be more cautious. After all, Fang Waiyou's doctor is not clear about the details. Let him enter the palace to treat the father. If something happens to the father...no one can afford it. "

"Father can't just lie down like this all the time, isn't fourth brother even willing to try?" Sima Rong looked sad.

Sima Kuo originally wanted to assassinate him with ulterior motives, but unexpectedly he was bitten back, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth with hatred: "Brother Huang speaks seriously, and Emperor Father belongs to the world, so naturally we cannot make a hasty decision on this matter."

Sima Rong looked at the Empress Dowager: "You can know the details of the genius doctor. As for the medical skills, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace. The prescriptions prescribed by each imperial physician should be reviewed by each imperial physician. There will be no mistakes. What does the Empress Dowager think?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at him and nodded deliberately: "There is a Tai Hospital guarding the gate, so you can give it a try."

The Empress Dowager had no objection, and the matter was quickly settled.

Taking advantage of the absence, the Empress Dowager pulled Sima Rong and said anxiously: "Rong'er, why are you so confused? King Yi has already recruited half of the courtiers, the most important thing for you right now is not to find a way to wake the emperor up!"

Sima Rong smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the emperor will wake up if you don't ask for a genius doctor. Let him dance for two days at King Yi's place."

The Empress Dowager was skeptical, but seeing his determination, she finally nodded worriedly: "Forget it, since that's the case, the emperor should pay more attention to it, and don't give Wang Yi a chance to do anything."

Sima Rong said in a low voice, "Eunuch Tong next to Emperor Father belongs to Prime Minister Wang, so he will take care of it."

The queen mother was taken aback: "Prime Minister Wang! He..."

Sima Rong nodded.

The Queen Mother was immediately pleasantly surprised: "I never expected to get the support of Prime Minister Wang! With him, the chances of winning are great! But, haven't you always closed the door to thank guests? When will you be with him..."

The embarrassment on Sima Rong's face disappeared in a flash, and he changed the subject: "We will have a better chance of winning when uncle returns in triumph."

In fact, what Sima Rong said was all to appease the Empress Dowager. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he didn't need to win over anyone for the time being. He only needed to wait for the emperor to wake up.

Soon, Sima Shan received Sima Rong's personal letter, and hurriedly started arranging chariots, horses and skilled guards.

Soon, the Empress Dowager Yizhi also arrived, asking him to send someone to send a miracle doctor to the capital to treat the emperor.

On the second day, Sima Shan cheerfully watched the convoy leave. As for the genius doctor, he was still in the mountains.

It was late at night in Prince Yi's Mansion in Beijing, and Sima Kuo was discussing in low voice with several staff and ministers.

Although Sima Rong is a descendant, but he returned to Beijing not long ago, his foundation is not stable, and Xie Zhuo is now leading the army, this time the emperor is in a coma is the best time for him, if the emperor wakes up, after a long time, he will Give Sima Rong a chance to grow his power.

"Don't miss this opportunity, the time will never come again!" Several confidants obviously wanted to go with him, and they all looked worried.

Sima Kuo thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to strike in the palace, but that would be patricide and usurpation of the throne. If the news leaked out, his throne might not be secure, and he didn't dare to reveal the slightest hint of his feelings.

What's more, there is an empress dowager in the palace, I looked down on eunuchs in the past, and I didn't work hard on them, so it is even more difficult to avoid others' eyes and ears at this time.

Is it really necessary to wait for the emperor to die?

Sima Kuo didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being so rebellious, the Tian family had no true feelings, everyone was like that.

When he was frowning, a confidant approached him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, didn't Prince Rui say that he would invite a genius doctor over? Why don't we make a move and blame Prince Rui!"

"Not right!" The other person shook his head repeatedly, "If it doesn't work, we'll be wasting our time if we ask the genius doctor to wake up the emperor. If you insist on checking..."

Seeing him glance at him, Sima Kuo knew that he meant that Wang Shuzhi was estranged from him, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "Wang Yu has a heavy soldier in his hand, and he communicated with this king not long ago. Junior, how could he not listen to his uncle's words, it's not enough."

Another person said: "Your Highness, instead of waiting for the miracle doctor to enter the palace to do something, it's better not to do anything and not to stop..."

Sima Kuo looked at him, blinked, and suddenly laughed: "Good idea!"

When the few people were discussing, they didn't know that there was a black shadow lying on the roof.

A few days later, on the way to the capital from Guiyang County, a group of people was ambushed in the middle of the night. Because the opponent was too numerous to resist, they had to turn around and escape from the siege.

At the same time, a dark shadow sneaked into the residence of the assassin leader, and a servant of Yi Wang's mansion also sneaked out of Yi Wang's study.

Before dawn, Pei Liang handed over the two contracts proving that King Yi had a deal with the assassins to Wang Shuzhi's hands. Wang Shuzhi took them over and looked at them, with a smile on his face, he couldn't wait to go to Prince Rui's residence.

Seeing his face asking for credit, Sima Rong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yan Qing, should you repay me?" Wang Shuzhi kissed close to his ear, and before he could answer, he hugged him tightly and pressed him on the couch, looking at him with a smile.

Sima Rong's dark eyes were tightly locked by him, a layer of warmth appeared, and he sighed in a low voice: "Without you, I really don't know how much effort I would have spent."

Wang Shuzhi smiled lowly and quickly kissed him.

On the second day, Sima Rong looked exhausted without pretending. After entering the palace, he took care of the emperor with all his heart, and was even more tired.

Soon, a letter from Sima Shan was delivered to the queen mother, who was furious, and the matter quickly spread to the court.

Wang Shuzhi said coldly: "The genius doctor was specially invited to treat the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed halfway, and now he is seriously injured. How could he come to the capital? Such a coincidence, and the assassin's skills are also very unusual. He is definitely not an ordinary gangster. There must be someone deliberately obstructing it! With ulterior motives, the crime should be punished!"

The expressions of the people next to him were different, and several ministers who had participated in the matter had a turmoil in their hearts: Didn't His Royal Highness Yi Wang say that the assassination failed and the genius doctor was not injured? !

Wang Shuzhi said angrily: "This matter is no small matter, the truth must be found out!"

The words had already been put down, but Wang Shuzhi didn't make any further moves. King Yi didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he had a headache, and gritted his teeth with hatred for those trash: If he wasn't worried about being exposed, he would have used his own people long ago!Fortunately, those assassins were dead soldiers, even if they were captured, they would kill themselves immediately.

When everyone was full of thoughts and ready to move, suddenly a piece of news came from the palace: The emperor is awake!

The empress dowager, the fourth concubine, and the princes all rushed to the dragon couch, all of them were so excited that they couldn't help but cry bitterly.

The emperor was weak and didn't speak. He just looked at the group of people below with a look of relief, and soon fell asleep again.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone was terrified. Seeing the imperial physician go over to feel the pulse, they hurriedly stopped and stared at the imperial physician's face without blinking.

The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief and laughed: "The empress dowager, ladies and lords, the emperor's pulse has stabilized and there is no serious problem. I hope I can take some rest and recover soon."

Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After the imperial physician finished writing the prescription, the Empress Dowager hurriedly urged the palace staff to boil medicine and prepare meals, and dismissed everyone so that the emperor could rest.

After everyone left, the emperor opened his eyes and glanced at Eunuch Tong.

The astonishment in Eunuch Tong's eyes flashed, and he realized that he was pretending to be asleep before, so he wiped the corners of his eyes with joy, bowed and said, "Congratulations! Your Majesty, you have finally woken up!"

The emperor fell into a coma for so long, his body was extremely weak, and he spoke hoarsely: "How long have I been asleep? Has anything happened in the palace?"

Eunuch Tong answered one by one, and praised the filial piety of the princes. The emperor smiled when he heard it, and his spirit seemed to be much better under the joy.

Worried that he would faint suddenly next time, the emperor had no choice but to accept his fate. Although he was annoyed by the courtiers with a headache, the establishment of the reserve could not be delayed any longer.

The emperor was not in a hurry to show up, and he called his confidants to him after he regained his energy, and asked, "What's the matter with the princes recently?"

The confidant replied: "Prince Rui's everything is the same, except for entering the palace to serve illnesses, he is resting in the mansion, very quiet. Prince Yi's mansion is much more lively with people coming and going. The other princes never slack off in their homework."

As for Jing Wang Sima Shan, he didn't mention it at all. Firstly, he was far away in the fief after all, and secondly, he was already habitually ignored by others.

The emperor frowned: "What's the matter in court?"

"Everything is fine in the court, and the war in the north is also in sight. But not long ago, the genius doctor who treated Prince Rui was invited by the Queen Mother, but was ambushed on the way to Beijing, and was seriously injured and couldn't make it. But fortunately Your Majesty's good fortune!"

"Huh?" The emperor's face darkened slightly, "What's going on?"

The confidant told the ins and outs of the matter one by one, the emperor listened coldly, and summoned Eunuch Tong to inquire carefully.

Eunuch Tong then described how Prince Rui suggested and how King Yi objected at that time, and even though there was no embellishment, the coldness in the emperor's eyes was even worse.

"Prime Minister Xuan Wang enters the palace!"
