After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Qin Luochuan failed to find Qin Yuan all night, and almost used the forbidden army to turn the entire Phoenix upside down. Unexpectedly, the next day, Qin Xuechuan took Qin Yuan back to the palace.

Qin Luochuan saw Qin Yuan and ran over: "A Yuan, are you okay? Let me see if you are injured." After speaking, he looked Qin Yuan up and down.

Qin Yuan pulled his hand off: "Oh, brother, I'm not a child anymore, what can happen to me?"

Seeing Qin Luochuan's worried look, Qin Xuechuan said, "A Yuan is fine, she came to my palace yesterday to stay overnight and now I'm handing her back to you, from now on you have to take good care of her and don't let her run around gone."

When Qin Luochuan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him: "It turns out that A Yuan went to the eldest brother's palace, and A Yuan has troubled the eldest brother. The younger brother is here to accompany me."

Qin Xuechuan helped him up: "You and I are brothers, and A Yuan is my sister, so naturally I won't find it troublesome."

"Go back first, and I'll deal with you later." Qin Luochuan turned his head to look at Qin Yuan and said in a low voice.

Qin Yuan made a face at him, then smiled and ran away.

"I don't know why Eldest Brother left A Yuan to stay overnight in the palace without telling my younger brother, my younger brother was almost worried and went to report to Emperor Father."

Qin Xuechuan laughed and cried when he heard his words.This child is using the emperor to suppress him, and just now when Qin Yuan was around, he acted like a brother and friend, and when Qin Yuan left, he immediately returned to his original shape.

The two of them are brothers after all, but their relationship has become so stiff because of the struggle for the throne.

"Ben Gong is not in good health, and the fifth brother also knows it. It was so frosty and snowy that night, and it is not good for me to tell you about it in person. Of course, I forgot to send someone to tell you. Naturally, it is Ben Gong. No."

After Qin Luochuan heard what he said, he hurriedly said: "Big brother is serious, big brother is not wrong, it's the younger brother who was rude just now."

"It doesn't matter, you are also worried about A Yuan. We will drive to Hangu with the father in a few days. The father has entrusted you with a lot of errands these days, so I won't bother you. I will say goodbye to you. "

After Qin Xuechuan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment Qin Luochuan called him: "Brother, please stay!"

Qin Xuechuan heard him calling himself again, so he turned around and looked at him again: "Fifth brother, is there anything else?"

Qin Luochuan walked forward: "The younger brother cares about the elder brother, so I have to tell the elder brother something, if the elder brother still cares about his reputation and his dignity as a prince, then please stay away from Xiao Shizi!"

When Qin Xuechuan heard his words, his brows twitched slightly, and he smiled at the moment: "What does Fifth Brother mean by this, why can't I understand as an older brother?"

Qin Luochuan looked up at him: "Brother is smart and wise, so he naturally understands what Yudi said?"

"Heh..." Qin Xuechuan chuckled, "I've been hearing some rumors spreading in the imperial city in recent days. Of course, the fifth younger brother also understands that rumors and rumors cannot be believed. Besides, the emperor didn't even ask about it. Fifth Brother's worry is indeed a little unnecessary."

Qin Luochuan hurriedly explained: "Brother, that's not what I meant."

Qin Xuechuan continued: "Oh? What does fifth brother mean?"

Qin Luochuan replied: "As a younger brother, of course I hope that my elder brother will be well. Eldest brother should know that Xiao Yu is a shameless person, so I don't want my elder brother to associate with such a person."

Didn't expect Qin Luochuan to be thinking of him at this time?

"What kind of person is he? I have my own eyes, and I can see clearly, so I don't need my fifth brother to remind me. You have a lot of errands, unlike my brother, who is very leisurely, so I don't bother you here You, let’s talk about it another day.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Qin Luochuan looked at him from behind, with a strange look in his eyes.

He had never seen Qin Xuechuan be so tit-for-tat in words, just like his performance on the archery field that day, which surprised everyone around him.

Qin Xuechuan himself knew that everything he knew would reach the emperor's ears.He himself doesn't care about these, after all, for the emperor, the crown prince is a useful pawn, a very important pawn, and the emperor will not give him up easily.

***

Qin Xuechuan has always wanted to build an underground palace in his East Palace for future use.

But the construction of the underground palace was too much noise, and it was bound to alarm other people in the imperial city.Qin Xuechuan knew that the emperor's family was always suspicious. If Qin Yuan found out that he built the underground palace privately, he would definitely suspect him of treason.

Qin Xuechuan was also forced by various reasons, so this plan could only be shelved temporarily.

The dungeon in the East Palace is quite spacious now, training the dead does not conflict with his planning other things in the dungeon.

It's just that the dungeon is too dark, Qin Xuechuan doesn't like dark places.Even at night, he would order the palace servants to light a few more candles for him until dawn.

He didn't like the dark by nature, and he was afraid of the dark when he was a child. Whenever he was alone, he would turn on all the lights in the house, even the ones in the corner.Only after seeing every corner of the room clearly can he fall asleep with peace of mind.

This place is no different from that era in the future. The only thing that can light up here is candlelight.

When Qin Xuechuan entered the dungeon, he also ordered people to light candles on the walls of the dungeon, and set up two candles every five steps, so that the sides of the corridor would not look so dark.

It was also the first time that Qin Xuechuan discovered that he had so many problems in his body, such as being afraid of the dark, cold, pain, and suffering...

***

The matter of building the underground palace is not urgent for now, what he wants to check most now is whether the details of the people around him are clear.

In the past few days, Ah Ying has checked the details of the palace servants, guards, imperial physicians and even the imperial chef in the East Palace. Finally, he sorted out a pile of thick volumes and handed them to Qin Xuechuan.

Ah Ying stood in front of Qin Xuechuan and reported: "Your Highness, these are the details of everyone in your palace. Except for the servants who have also specifically checked the people who have contact with us outside the palace, that is basically the only ones."

Qin Xuechuan flipped through the pages one by one, and he frowned slightly: "You have checked for so many days, but did you find anything wrong?"

Ah Ying replied: "Most of the ordinary palace servants who serve you are sent from the imperial palace to serve you. Except for a few palace servants who have served you since childhood, the details of the others are not very clear."

Qin Xuechuan paused when he heard this, and then said: "Since the details are not very clear, how did they get into the East Palace?"

Ah Ying continued: "It was recommended by some people, some of them were sent by the court ministers, some were pointed out by the emperor, and some were specially given to His Highness by King Nanling to serve you."

Qin Xuechuan turned the pages of the book while hearing this, he suddenly felt a little emotional, for such a sick prince who was treated as a pawn, apart from the guards guarding the palace, there were more than a hundred people serving him.

If Qin Xuechuan didn't know the plot in advance, he really thought he was some favored prince.

"Besides, the subordinates who serve your Highness your medicine and meals have been particularly careful. The details of those people are very clear, and they don't look like they were sent by someone."

Hearing this, Qin Xuechuan asked again: "Where are those imperial physicians? The imperial physicians who serve me are from the palace, is it all right?"

"Your Highness, the imperial physicians who serve you are indeed from the palace, but the preparation of the medicine is all done in the Eastern Palace, and those imperial physicians have no chance to do it."

Qin Xuechuan nodded: "It's so..."

"Then besides the imperial physician, can my illness be cured by other folk doctors?"

Aying continued: "The medical skills of the imperial hospital are naturally much better than those of the folk doctors. Since the palace cannot completely cure His Highness's illness, there is no need to use those folk doctors."

Qin Xuechuan thought about many possibilities in the past few days. He has not recovered from his long illness, perhaps because someone poisoned him before, or someone did something in the diet and medicine.

In order to prove his conjecture, he endured his pain and drank less medicine for a few days.A few days before the drug was discontinued, his heart was always in great pain and his whole body was always uncomfortable, but after those few days he felt much better, and he was no longer in a daze state.

Now he is sure that his illness may be related to the medicine he has been drinking, but at this moment he can't find any clues.

Before arousing these suspicions, Qin Xuechuan deliberately went through his previous pulse case. The first time he became ill was when he was seven years old, which happened to be the year when Concubine Xiang died, and after that he was poisoned after he was named the crown prince. .

Two of them were highly poisonous. Fortunately, he didn't take much poison. Even though his life was hanging by a thread, he was rescued. Then there were several chronic poisons given to him by unruly people. He finally found out .Qin Xuechuan thought that the original owner might have eaten too much poison, so he became weak and died, but he has passed through it right now.

If it was really related to the poison, since everyone in the East Palace knew the details, how did he eat the poison?

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan stood up and asked Ah Ying: "Has anyone tested the poison in the soup and meals I drink?"

Ah Ying said: "Yes! After many inquiries, I learned that since His Highness was poisoned for the first time, His Majesty has attached great importance to His Highness. All His Highness's diet is tested by the palace staff. All His Highness's diet is absolutely fine."

Hearing Ah Ying's words, Qin Xuechuan murmured in his heart. Could it be that his poor health caused him to be ill for a long time?

Although he has been ill for a long time, he still has the strength to draw a bow and ride a horse.

Now there is no room to check whether someone poisoned him, but Qin Xuechuan wondered if he should ask someone outside the palace to show him?

For some reason, he always felt that those people in the palace seemed to be wearing a mask. Although they were superficially flattering, they were not credible.

correct!

Xiao Yu once fed him medicine twice, and he didn't feel any discomfort after taking it, and he felt much more refreshed.If Xiao Yu didn't know what disease he had, how could he prescribe the right medicine?

Could it be that Xiao Yu knew something?

Qin Xuechuan thought about it for a long time, he wanted to meet Xiao Yu another day and confront him face to face.
