Under the glare of everyone's eyes, Doctor Wu finally stood up and discussed with other doctors beside him in whispers. Finally, he bowed and walked to the empress, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty. , the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Fifth Prince... He may not survive today." Doctor Wu lowered his head, not daring to look at the faces of the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The palace became even quieter, so quiet that it was as if you could hear the sound of a pin falling to the ground. No matter the doctors or the palace people, they didn't even dare to take a breath, and everyone was as excited as a drum.
His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is the future crown prince. He will be officially enthroned as the crown prince only after the Ministry of Rites has completed all the ceremonial procedures.
It can be imagined that the emperor valued this legitimate son.
Unexpectedly, such bad luck suddenly befell the fifth prince. The emperor must have felt sad and angry. At this time, the people who were most likely to be angered were probably the imperial doctors.
Not only Dr. Wu, but also other doctors were also frightened.
Both the emperor and the empress sat stiffly, almost unable to believe their ears, especially the empress, whose face was almost as white as paper, and her whole body was shaking violently like chaff.
Suddenly, the queen's body softened and leaned to one side.
"The Queen!"
Nanny Li beside the queen cried out nervously, and together with the eldest palace maid Xue Qin, supported the queen from left to right.
"Queen! Queen!" The emperor also looked at the queen worriedly, and hurriedly shouted to Dr. Wu, "Why don't you take a look at the queen!"
Physician Wu respectfully agreed and hurriedly stepped forward to check the queen's pulse.
The queen fainted only because she suffered a temporary blow. After Doctor Wu put the smelling salts under the queen's nose and let her smell it, the queen suddenly woke up and her eyes were confused for a moment. But then he tried to get up in a panic, shouting: "Your Majesty, my Imperial Majesty..."
The queen was completely lost. Nanny Li and Xue Qin did not dare to persuade her, so they had to help her to the fifth prince's couch. The queen tightly grasped the fifth prince's slender fingers, tears once again filled her eyes, and she murmured: "Fan'er, my Fan'er..."
At this time, the queen was no longer the aloof and maternal woman, but just a mother.
The emperor stared blankly at this scene, his expression gloomy and sad, his hands clenched into fists.
"Mr. Wu!" the emperor ordered stiffly, "I want you to cure the fifth prince, and you must do everything you can to cure the fifth prince!"
Mr. Wu and others all stood with their heads bowed and did not dare to say a word.
The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep anyone alive until the fifth watch?
As doctors, they practice medicine and save people, but they have no ability to **** people from the hands of the King of Hell...unless...
Heal people to death, leaving flesh and bones white.
Only Lin Jingchen, the best doctor in the world, might be able to give it a try.
Or, if Princess Yaoguang is here, maybe it can be done.
But the Fifth Prince's time is running out, Lin Jingchen's whereabouts are uncertain, and Princess Yaoguang is also far away in southern Xinjiang. How can they make it in such a tight time!
In the palace, the atmosphere became even more depressing, and the shadow of death hung over everyone's heart...
At this moment, the queen suddenly raised her voice and screamed: "Fan'er, Fan'er, what's wrong with you? Doctor! Doctor, come and see Fan'er quickly."
Amidst the Queen's almost hysterical shouting, the imperial doctors gathered around in fear, probing the fifth prince's pulse, doing acupuncture, and pressing acupoints...
The Empress's heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley, as if countless holes had been drilled into her heart, and the cold wind blew through her heart.
Amidst the panic and noise, a tall palace maid, Na Xia He, walked in cautiously. Seeing the commotion in the palace, she swallowed her saliva, finally plucked up the courage, and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Fifth Prince's companion, the Second Young Master Nangong, asking for an audience..."
The emperor frowned, probably guessing that Nangong Xin might be worried about the fifth prince's condition, but at this time, the emperor was really in no mood to see outsiders, and was about to dismiss it casually, when he heard Xia He continue to say: "Second Young Master Nangong said he wanted to donate medicine..."
Donate medicine? !
These two words suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and all their eyes were focused on the palace maid Xia He, making her become more and more nervous and subconsciously holding her breath.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Dr. Wu's eyes. Naturally, the Nangong family would not donate medicine casually. Could it be the miracle medicine left by Miracle Doctor Lin or Princess Yaoguang?
Even the queen looked over as if she had just woken up, and her originally dead-grey eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
A few years ago, it was Nangong Yue who pulled the young emperor back from the gate of hell, so that mother and son stayed together all these years; today, the emperor suffered another disaster, and Nangong Xin appeared again...
This must be God’s will!
"Your Majesty..." The queen looked at the emperor excitedly.
The emperor had already had an idea and hurriedly said: "Quick! Please invite the Second Young Master Nangong to come in!"
The tense atmosphere in the palace was as tight as a bow string, and almost everyone placed their last glimmer of hope on Nangong Xin.
After a while, Nangong Xin walked into the palace under the leadership of the palace maid. He was walking in a hurry and his face was even more worried. As he strode forward, his eyes paused on Han Lingfan's ashen face, then he lowered his eyes respectfully and saluted the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Axin is exempt from the gift."
Nangong Xin is the fifth prince's companion, and he often interacts with the emperor. The emperor and Nangong Xin are quite familiar with each other.
At this moment, the fifth prince's life was hanging by a thread, and the emperor didn't want to elaborate. He said straight to the point: "Axin, you want to donate medicine? Are you confident that your medicine can save the fifth prince?"
Nangong Xin calmed down. Of course, he did not have absolute confidence. Neither he, nor his father Nangong Mu, nor his uncle Nangong Qin were completely sure, but they believed in their sister.
Furthermore, the situation of His Highness the Fifth Prince is so dangerous at the moment. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, they must give it a try.
As his father taught him, a scholar dies for his confidant.
He must do something about this!
Nangong Xin said to herself in her heart.
So here he comes.
"Your Majesty," Nangong Xin respectfully raised his hands above his head and a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and said firmly, "This is a life-saving pill left by my sister before she left the royal capital. Sister Said you can protect your heart in critical moments."
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wu was overjoyed, maybe the fifth prince could be saved this time!
The emperor's face was still as dark as water. He motioned to a young chamberlain to take the small porcelain bottle, and then ordered Dr. Wu: "Mr. Wu, you and the other doctors will see if this medicine can be taken by the fifth prince!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Physician Wu respectfully accepted the order, and then he and the other doctors walked aside and gathered around to discuss...
The fifth prince's condition was so critical that the imperial doctors did not dare to take it lightly. When they opened the porcelain bottle, everyone gathered around the pill to speculate on its ingredients...
A moment later, Imperial Physician Wu led several imperial physicians to the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, I and others have studied it. This pill contains at least a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, but I and others can only guess seven or eight flavors in it. Medicine, Youdao, is to 'prescribe the right medicine for the situation'. I asked His Highness the Fifth Prince to take this life-saving pill with unknown medicinal ingredients. I thought the risk might be a bit high..."
If the fifth prince took this life-saving pill, but his condition worsened, or even his soul returned to the west, then the imperial doctors like them would not be able to escape their involvement.
The emperor didn't speak for a while. He didn't know what these imperial doctors were thinking, but Xiao Wu's situation couldn't be delayed and he couldn't wait any longer. If he doesn't do anything, he won't survive tonight...
"Mr. Wu." The emperor said in a low and hoarse voice, "Tell me the truth, can I use this life-saving pill?"
"Your Majesty." Dr. Wu said without hesitation, "If you don't use it, the fifth prince may not be able to survive Haishi. Although I don't know the ingredients in this pill, I think Princess Yaoguang takes this medicine as a 'life-saving' There must be something special about naming."
The queen had the same thought and looked at the emperor expectantly: "Your Majesty..." She wanted to believe Nangong Yue!
As the saying goes, a dead horse is a live doctor. For Xiao Wu, I can only give it a try!
The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Take this life-saving pill for the fifth prince!"
The emperor gave the order, and the life-saving pill was put into Han Lingfan's mouth...
At this time, it was already Xu time.
After that, there was a long wait. The imperial doctors surrounded Han Lingfan and carefully observed every symptom of his.
At Haishi, the imperial doctors confirmed that Han Lingfan's condition had not deteriorated further...
At midnight, Han Lingfan no longer sweats, and the flush on his cheeks fades away little by little...
On the fourth watch, Han Lingfan stopped mumbling, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he fell asleep peacefully...
This night was so long and difficult, as if time had been slowed down several times.
But no matter what, dawn will come eventually...
At dawn, Dr. Wu checked Han Lingfan's pulse again. His tense shoulders relaxed a little, and then he reported to the empress: "Your Majesty, the Empress, the fifth prince's fever has gone away...for the time being. No worries about life."
Both the Queen Mother and the Empress wept with joy, and even the Emperor secretly turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Han Lingfan finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief, but this was just the beginning...
Physician Wu knew that although the fifth prince had saved his life this time, the blood congestion in his brain was not removed and he was struggling to die. It is difficult to tell what will happen in the future. It might range from constant headaches, which would affect his lifespan, to the worst, he might sleep like this forever and not wake up... However, the fifth prince finally managed to save his life, so he could only tell the emperor and empress in detail later.
Not far away, Nangong Xin stood in the corner of the palace for most of the night. When he heard the imperial doctor's diagnosis, his heart that had been hanging in the air dropped a little, and the fatigue that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly surged. Come up.
Now that Han Lingfan's condition has temporarily stabilized, there is no need for Nangong Xin to stay any longer.
After he respectfully bid farewell to the empress, he exited the palace, then breathed a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he saw three familiar figures walking out of the west side hall of Fengluan Palace. A young man wearing bright yellow robes and with a completely different temperament walked straight towards him.
No matter what the purpose was, the three brothers of the fifth prince had been guarding the side hall for a day and a night, and a lot of bloodshot eyes could be seen.
Nangong Xin's face straightened, she stepped forward quickly, bowed to the three of them respectfully, and said, "I've seen Prince Cheng, Prince Shun, and Prince Gong!"
"Second Young Master Nangong is exempt from the gift." The eldest prince Han Lingchao, who is now Prince Cheng, raised his hand casually with a very friendly attitude, "This time it is thanks to the Nangong family's timely donation of medicine, otherwise this king would really Worried about the Fifth Emperor Brother..." As he spoke, he sighed quietly and frowned, seeming to be very worried about Han Lingfan.
Han Lingguan said with a smile: "Brother the Great Emperor is also the younger brother of the Fifth Emperor. Ji Ren has his own destiny!"
"Since the fifth emperor brother has passed this test, he will naturally be in great peace." Han Lingfu continued, his attitude was a little more sincere than the two emperor brothers. After all, this time Han Lingfan was seriously ill because he fell from the altar of worship to heaven, and the matter of praying for rain was inseparable from Han Lingfu...
If Han Lingfan really had a plan for this, and Han Lingfu was really worried that not only would he not be able to win back his father's trust, but he would also arouse the emperor's anger, then he would really lose more than he gained.
Not to mention what happened in the past, but this time, Han Lingfu hopes that Han Lingfan is safe and sound more than anyone else.
Nangong Xin is no longer the foolish young man he was a few years ago. He has been in and out of the palace for more than half a year. He has seen a lot, listened to a lot, and gained a lot of experience. Naturally, he will not misunderstand the words of these three princes. Seriously, I just dealt with it politely and took the initiative to leave.
After leaving Fengluan Palace, I saw that the golden sun had risen in the eastern sky, and the bright sunshine shone directly into Nangong Xin’s tired eyes. He sighed deeply, and under the guidance of a little chamberlain He left the palace.
It was already past midnight when Nangong Xin returned to Nangong Mansion. While he sent someone to deliver a verbal message to Fu Yunyan, he went to the outer study first.
The emperor did not go to court today, so Nangong Qin returned home early and waited quietly with Nangong Mu for Nangong Xin's return.
After hearing what Nangong Xin said about the situation in the palace, Nangong Qin nodded and asked him to go back and rest first.
Nangong Xin exited the outer study room, paid greetings to Mrs. Lin, and then returned to her yard.
Fu Yunyan knew that he had been up all night, so he had already ordered his servants to prepare hot water for bathing and breakfast for him.
Looking at the table full of sumptuous breakfast, Nangong Xin had no appetite. Sitting next to Fu Yunyan, he finally couldn't suppress the various emotions in his heart and said: "Liu Niang, Your Highness the Fifth Prince is really working hard... …”
Nangong Xin has always known that it is not easy for the fifth prince. Although the fifth prince is the legitimate son, he has three adult brothers above him, and each of them is not simple. He has also cultivated some forces in the court, and wants them It is easier said than done to surrender to one's own imperial brother!
The fifth prince has come step by step to the present, and is finally recognized by the emperor, who prefers him as the prince. Apart from the queen, the one who appreciates his efforts most is probably his companion.
Furthermore, the fifth prince is generous and kind, not sensual, studies hard every day, and is diligent in political affairs... Nangong Xin believes that the fifth prince will be a wise and benevolent king in the future.
But——
The most ruthless emperor’s family!
The fifth prince is surrounded by countless wolves, tigers and leopards, all of them watching with eager eyes...
Nangong Xin talked about what happened in Fengluan Palace with a complicated expression, and sighed: "The three princes are all pretending, and none of them really hopes that His Highness the Fifth Prince can survive..." They all said the same thing. They look beautiful, but in fact they all have their own agendas!
As he said that, Nangong Xin couldn't help but think of her sister far away in southern Xinjiang. Compared with their close brothers and sisters, the fifth prince was too lonely. His brother was his enemy, and his father was more than just a father. Still the emperor, probably only the queen can treat the fifth prince wholeheartedly, without any interests in her heart...
"Axin." Fu Yunyan held Nangong Xin's hand tightly. She had a cheerful personality and did not like to play dirty tricks, but after all, she was raised by the eldest princess Yongyang, and she had been in the palace since she was a child. Going in and out, you are most aware of the darkness and turmoil in the deep palace. There is no family affection in the imperial family, only competition for power.
For the three princes, if the fifth prince goes, they will have the opportunity to ascend to the supreme position. That kind of temptation is enough to make people abandon all family ties...
Fu Yunyan comforted him softly: "Axin, you have done what you can do..." Next, it depends on the fifth prince himself!
"...Let's have dinner later. I'll write a letter to my sister." Nangong Xin said with a haggard look, "Ask my sister and grandfather if they have any good recipes."
Fu Yunyan's eyes lit up and he nodded hastily: "Okay! I'll go with you and grind the ink for you."
Nangong Xin nodded, and the two of them went to the study together.
The letter was written, sealed with fire paint, and then sent to southern Xinjiang by the inn...
Nangong Xin’s letter was still on the way, and a white pigeon took the lead in flying into Yanding City...
The poor white pigeon was chased by the gray eagle and flew wildly all the way, and finally landed staggeringly on Xiaosi's hand.
The gray eagle let out a triumphant cry and circled several times above Xiao Si's head in a showy manner.
Xiao Si glanced at it coldly, and while secretly thinking about hiding Han Yu, he took the white pigeon into the study and said, "Young master, it is the flying pigeon from the royal capital that delivers the message." He took off the tissue paper from the bamboo tube and handed it over.
Guan Yubai put down the wolf hair in his hand and took the silk paper with a smile.
As soon as he glanced at it, Guan Yubai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then, he read the silk paper carefully and placed it on the candle. After a while, white smoke ignited slowly.
When Guan Yubai left the royal capital, he had already expected that the emperor would appoint the fifth prince as heir apparent. He also expected that since the crown prince had not been established for many years, the three adult princes had already had their own thoughts. Even if the emperor made a decision, it would be difficult for them to let go of their obsessions and surrender to the fifth prince. They would even be happy to sweep away the fifth prince who was blocking their way.
In order to avoid civil strife in the royal capital and affect the situation in southern Xinjiang, Guan Yubai deliberately planned to divide the three adult princes before leaving, especially the second prince who was well hidden. He intensified their conflicts and prevented them from forming an alliance based on their common interests. Instead, they would fight each other endlessly. In this way, they could not blindly target the fifth prince.
The fifth prince will not always be at a disadvantage, but he is still young and fledgling, and still needs time to grow.
Just...
Guan Yubai glanced at the silk paper that had been burned into a ball of black ashes, and tapped the desk with his fingers.
At the beginning, because there had been no rainfall in the royal capital for several months, there were warnings from God in the market that the fifth prince was not the right one. Then it was the stone that said "Let's choose the master" that pushed this rumor to its peak... It was no longer possible to blindly prohibit speech. If it continued, it would only affect the reputation of the fifth prince.
Under such circumstances, unless the emperor changes his mind and no longer appoints the fifth prince as heir apparent, he must find a way to restore the situation.
It has not rained in the capital for several months. If the people can see with their own eyes that the fifth prince prayed for rain, it will undoubtedly be the best way to dispel the rumors. Although according to the biography of Fei Ge, the third prince proposed the idea of praying for rain, it was obvious that the emperor was just following the trend. Even without the third prince's suggestion, the idea of praying for rain was still inevitable.
The Heavenly Supervisor of the Qin Dynasty will calculate the celestial phenomena, and the five princes will go to the rooftop to pray for sweet rain. All the rumors in the capital will disappear along with the rain.
All this was so logical that Guan Yubai had to suspect that someone was secretly promoting it from the beginning of the rumor.
If this hypothesis is true, then it would not be a simple accident for the fifth prince to fall from the altar.
On the day of the memorial ceremony, even though Guan Yubai was not present, he could still imagine the scene at that time.
The fifth prince came down from the altar, slipped and fell...
According to the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor, empress, civil and military officials should all be under the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven at that time, and there was only one person closest to the fifth prince——
Waiter!
Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, his lips moved slightly and he murmured: "...The fifth prince asked his personal attendant to push him down the steps."
