Chapter 14 Inexplicable illness
Huanying saw that Zhuo Ruitong's attitude was very resolute. After looking at each other with Xiaoci, he had to say, "Since the prince refused, we can't insist on it any longer. However, the prince provided by Xiaoci, please pay attention to the situation of Lou Xun's subordinates. I always feel that Lou Xun is intacit, vicious and sinister, and his death. If the scholar hasn't returned to his life, he will definitely not give up. Maybe there are other dead men lurking in the Acropolis.
"Since you think that there may be other receptions, you should not mention anything about moving to the city to take refuge!" Zhuo Ruitong half blamed and half bitterly stared at Huanying, "My king, can't even protect a weak woman? Don't worry, since I can save you out of the palace, I have planned to be responsible to the end. When the sky falls, I carry it. You just have to live in the palace at ease."
"Oh, peace of mind, how easy is it to talk about it?" Huanxuan sighed and made a gesture of invitation to Wei Wang and said, "Let's both sit down and talk, Xiaoci, the prince hasn't drunk a sip of water yet. Why don't you hurry up and make two cups of tea?"
"Ouch, my maidservant is going!" Xiaoci bowed and quickly left to make tea.
"In fact, since the 13th year of leap Qi, Emperor Suwu became more and more seriously ill, I think it's not only me, but also many people in the world have never been at ease." Huanxuan looked at Zhuo Ruitong sitting down, and then sat on the other side of the coffee table. "You and I both know what a magnificent and talented and strategic our Emperor was in the past. However, since he was entangled, he has become suspicious and irritable. In addition, Concubine Li kept making trouble in front of him. The whole harem and even the court has always been smoky and restless. Concubine Li, together with the Li clan, framed the prince to force the death of Empress Zhu Pingzhu, which made the court and the whole government and the opposition. My father and Taifu Qixian These old ministers who gave birth to them, because they questioned the truth of the prince Zhuo Luan's usurpation of the throne, they were also found various excuses for Concubine Li to be dismissed and went home to be idle. Until the end of the autumn of the thirteenth year of the leap Qi, the late emperor died, and there were almost no old ministers in the court except for turning to the Li family's party.
"Yes, I know," Zhuo Ruitong said sadly, "After receiving the news of the death of the late emperor, I once wrote a petition to return to Beijing to mourn for my father. Unexpectedly, even this small request was rejected by the Empress Dowager Li. I regret that I didn't even see my father's last face!"
"So with the existence of Li's party, how can the world be at ease? Even if I don't die, I won't be saved by the king of Wei. When will I be safe in that palace? Huanxuan paused and suppressed his heart. As soon as he touched the past, there were waves of sadness. Then he continued, "Since there is no peace in the world, the people have no peace and there is no peace, so what else is there to fear to avoid? Just now, when I mentioned that Lou Xun may still have dead men hiding in the Acropolis, I suddenly felt that why didn't the King of Wei let me use it as bait to lure other potential threats? It is best to catch a living mouth, so that we can know whether they are sent by Lou Xun. If they are indeed Lou Xun's subordinates, is Lou Xun instructed by the court or for a different purpose? If it is ordered by the court, how much does the court know about my existence, and how do they plan to deal with King Wei? And so on, there are many doubts that we must solve!"
"You, what are you talking about? Huanxuan, use you as bait, who do you think of me as Zhuo Ruitong?" When Zhuo Ruitong heard what Huanying said, he suddenly blushed and said angrily, "I would rather take myself as bait than put you in danger!"
"Look at you, what's the hurry!" Huanxuan didn't expect Zhuo Ruitong's reaction to be so big. He was secretly shocked and persuaded, "I'm not doing this for you, but also for myself. Although I'm not as good as the king of Wei, I'm not as powerful as you. If you send someone else to secretly protect and make clever arrangements, we don't have to attract fish. Hooked up? Why can't you try something that can be done at the same time? If the other party's target is King Wei, I won't stop King Wei from using it as bait, but the assassin last night was obviously coming for me. What's the use of your bait?"
"This, you... I really can't take this risk. As you said, I'm not afraid of ten thousand and just in case!" Zhuo Ruitong knew that what Huanxuan said was reasonable, but he just couldn't accept it.
"Huanxuan has been a person who has died once. What's the chance!" Huanxuan smiled at Zhuo Ruitong and said, "Besides, isn't it just in case that you are hiding in your palace? Ruitong, at this point, do you think of me another favor so that I don't have to live in fear every day?"
Zhuo Ruitong stared at Huanxuan, saw Huanxuan's eyes full of trust and firmness, and finally sighed, "Let me think about this matter again. It's better to discuss with Nie Kong to arrange everything more carefully without revealing flaws, otherwise the fish will not be hooked, but will be used by it."
"Well, I agree with this, but King Wei should make up his mind as soon as possible, so as not to have a long night and have more other tricks!"
Zhuo Ruitong nodded and just wanted to say something more. At this time, Xiaoci took the tea tray into the lobby. After setting up the tea cup for the two, she said to Zhuo Ruitong, "Lord, a servant just came over and said that Lord Nie called him to come here. Please go back immediately."
"Go back?" Zhuo Ruitong wondered, "Nie Kong and I only met in the morning, and now I'm asking me to go back? Didn't the servant say anything?"
"No, he is still waiting outside now. Do you want to call him in?" Small porcelain road.
Zhuo Ruitong thought for a moment, "Forget it. Nie Kong knows that it is inconvenient for you two to show up and will not send people to this cabinet for no reason. Then Huanying, I'll go and have a look first. If there is nothing big deal, I will prepare your needs and bring them together."
"King Wei, go and get busy. Don't worry. Everything is the main thing!" Huanxuan stood up and said, "Just in time, the prince can discuss my proposal with General Manager Nie just now."
"Well, I know, don't worry, Huanxuan, but I..." What Zhuo Ruitong wanted to say was that he really unwilling to do so. However, when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it, because he knew very well that it was better to work hard to protect Huanxuan's safety than to make a weak argument.
Zhuo Ruitong shook his head with a wry smile, "Oh, let's not talk about it. I'm leaving, Xiaoci, take good care of the lady!"
After witnessing Zhuo Ruitong leave, he was stunned for a long time and suddenly remembered another thing, "Xiaoci, your master has been in Weijun for four years. I'm afraid you have a family for a long time. Why have you never heard him mention it?"
"Hmm?" Xiaoci was also stunned, "My family? Madam, do you mean...?"
Do you know who Queen Wei is? How can we hide the queen from hiding in the palace of Wei? However, so far, except for Wei Wang, we have only seen General Manager Nie, and the calmness seems to be a little surprising.
"The maidservant... The maidservant has not heard that the king of Wei has set up a queen. Of course, the maidservant is only responsible for transmitting the news in the palace and receiving the instructions of the king of Wei. The details of the life of the king of Wei are really not very good, but how can the lady think of asking this?"
Huanying turned around, sat down in place, picked up the undrinkable hot tea newly brewed by Xiaoci, lifted the lid and closed the floating leaf, and said, "I don't know why I suddenly thought of it. It's just a flash of an idea. I'm thinking that maybe the problem is not in the capital, but the Wei Palace?"
"Guarding the Palace? Madam is not suspicious of Queen Wei, is she? Does Queen Wei still have anything to say?" Xiaoci's eyes widened and complained, "Isn't the lady thinking too much about the shadow?"
"Maybe, I'm also more suspicious now, oh!" Huanxuan took a sip of hot tea and laughed at herself, "When I didn't say anything!"
As soon as Zhuo Ruitong saw Nie Kong standing outside the study with Wei'er with a blank face, he understood eight or nine points in his heart. After listening to Wei'er's report, he slowly asked, "After listening to you for a long time, does it matter if Ning Ji?"
"I don't know. Anyway, someone has invited Dr. Thistle. However, if it's just because of catching a cold or eating something bad, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Wei'er remembered what Ning Ji had told him. He wanted to say it more seriously, but he had to understate it as much as possible.
"Oh, since I have invited the doctor to come..." Before Zhuo Ruitong finished his words, he saw Nie Kong suddenly wink at himself, and immediately turned around and said, "D. Dr. Ji's residence is not far from the palace. At this time, he must have arrived. Let's go, fear, I will take a look at Dr. Ji's diagnosis!"
"Thank you, Prince!" She was so relieved that she thought that the prince finally offered to visit. Ning Ji should be happy. She didn't know that if it weren't for Nie Kong's wink, King Wei would almost be unable to say it, not because he didn't care about Ning Tang'er's life and death at all, but that he knew too well that Ning Tang'er likes to do nothing. Since Ning Tanger came back from Lingshan Palace. After being coldly rejected, the so-called calm for several days obviously only means that the undercurrent is about to surge.
What tricks was Ning Tanger playing when he suddenly got sick? Zhuo Ruitong couldn't guess for a while, but since Nie Kong hinted him to visit, he had to hold back his boredom and go to the leisure pavilion, because he believed in Nie Kong's caution and carefulness.
In the leisure pavilion, Ning Tanger seemed to be very ill. Zhuo Ruitong saw her uncomfortableness and couldn't help comforting her. He followed Dr. Ji. Zhuo Ruitong quickly gave up his position and asked Dr. Ji to call the pulse through the curtain.
Dr. Ji's surname is Ji and his name is Yu Guang. He is about 50 years old. He has been a professional medical officer in the Wei Palace for several years. Because of his medical skills, he is modest, and he has never been noble or inferior in diagnosing people's diseases. Therefore, he was deeply praised by the Empress Dowager Wei. He allowed him to set up a house in the streets and alley not far from the Wei Palace to settle down his family. He can return home even if he has nothing to do. Live, as long as there is something to do in the palace.
Ji Yu Guanghao came out for a while and said to Zhuo Ruitong, who was equal to the outside, "It doesn't matter. When I am old, I will immediately open a prescription and ask the prince to have a look. After taking it, it will definitely make my wife's condition better!"
Zhuo Ruitong nodded, "Did you eat something bad or suffer from the cold?"
"It's a little cold. This kind of weather is hot during the day and cool at night. Whether it's the prince or his wife, you should pay more attention!" As Ji Yuguang answered, he opened the prescription quickly with a pen and paper. After reading it to Zhuo Ruitong, he called Wei'er to take it. He opened the medicine box and began to grab the medicine. Seeing that it was okay, Zhuo Ruitong turned to Ning Tanger and said, "Aiji take the medicine at ease and recover from the disease at ease. When Aiji is better, I will come to visit again!"
Ning Tanger nod slightly and raised half of her body, "Your Majesty, take care, I can't see you off!"
