Chapter 440 I want to die, wait a minute
When the old ministers in the court learned that Emperor Jing had caught a cold, they gathered outside his bedroom and were reluctant to leave.
The capital is currently in a turbulent time. If something happens to Emperor Jing at this time, the capital will probably be in chaos.
Everyone was unsure, and the only thing they could do was to place their hopes on the palace physician.
As long as Emperor Jing can stay alive, I'm afraid it will be enough as long as he can hold on for a breath.
In the bedroom, Zheng Hai helped Emperor Jing, who was still running a fever, up and personally fed him medicine.
"Someone came just now."
Emperor Jing took a sip of the black medicine and couldn't help but frowning.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine brought all the ministers and ladies from the harem and wanted to come in to see the Emperor just now. The imperial physician said that the Emperor was not in good spirits and needed to rest for the time being, so the Imperial Concubine took them away."
"Oh?"
Emperor Jing looked at him meaningfully and continued to ask, "Who is still outside my bedroom?"
"Several senior officials in the court are still guarding outside."
"Let them go back first. I won't die for a while."
"Yes."
Emperor Jing was not a fool. He had just fallen ill with the plague, and those who said they wanted to be loyal to him did not even dare to enter his bedroom.
The imperial physician not letting them in was just making up excuses for themselves using the imperial physician's mouth.
"Zheng Hai, aren't you afraid that I have an epidemic? I heard that this epidemic is very serious. If one person in a family is infected, the others will be unable to escape."
"Even if one person in a village gets the disease, the whole village will be infected."
Zheng Hai took a handkerchief and wiped the medicine off the corner of Emperor Jing's mouth. He said calmly, "I have served the emperor for so many years. I know that the emperor has always been in good health. How could he have contracted an epidemic?"
"It's just a cold. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just take the medicine for another day and your fever will go down and you'll get better soon."
Emperor Jing, leaning on the bed, smiled bitterly.
"I know my body best. I am suffering from the epidemic."
"If the emperor really gets sick, I am not afraid. No matter what happens to the emperor, I will follow him and serve him."
"well."
Emperor Jing said two good words in a row. He never expected that after he fell ill, Zhenghai was the only eunuch who was loyal to him.
Noble Consort Dehui, Xiao Yi, and the concubines, princes and princesses in the harem, they knew that he was sick and they didn't even have time to hide from him, so how could they care about his life or death?
Suddenly, Emperor Jing felt that the huge palace was extremely cold, and he even had an urge to destroy it.
"I have something I want to tell the Emperor."
"what's up?"
Emperor Jing's face was a little red from being burned. He leaned against the bed and said these words. His throat felt dry and smoking, and he was in a bad mood, so his voice was full of coldness.
"I heard from General Zhou that the Princess of Qin is proficient in medicine. The health-preserving pills she made are very effective. After taking them, sick people will recover quickly."
"The imperial physicians in the palace are helpless in treating the emperor's illness. I dare to ask the emperor to take some health-preserving pills."
As he spoke, Zheng Hai took out a pitch-black pill and presented it to Emperor Jing with both hands.
Looking at the pill in front of him, Emperor Jing tried hard to recall what kind of person the Princess of Qin was.
He vaguely remembered that the Princess of Qin was a girl from the Marquis of Danyang's mansion, and she was married to the Prince of Qin on behalf of the Crown Princess.
Emperor Jing no longer remembered what she looked like, but he vaguely remembered that she was indeed a good doctor. When she was in the capital, she treated many people with difficult and complicated diseases.
Moreover, the medicinal materials sold in Bencaotang do have a good therapeutic effect on epidemics.
"You were talking about that young General Zhou?"
"Young General Zhou Wuwei, he used to be a servant beside the Princess of Qin. Later, he won the first place in the competition in the South Camp and was highly valued by General Ding."
"Later, when the Imperial Guards were replaced, General Ding transferred Zhou Wuwei to serve in the Imperial Guards."
"Oh."
Hearing General Ding's name, Emperor Jing was no longer confused and put the health pill into his mouth.
Everyone in this world wants him dead, except General Dante. The people he sends to his side are absolutely trustworthy.
The big honey pills are as big as longan, black in color and taste very bitter.
Emperor Jing didn't take it seriously at all. He put the honey pill into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The strong bitter taste filled his entire mouth.
When he first learned that he might be infected with the disease, Emperor Jing was desperate. He didn't want to die in such a miserable way.
Now that he finally saw hope again, he felt that the bitter honey pills tasted sweet.
After taking the health-preserving pills, Zhenghai gave Emperor Jing some hot water and let him lie down to rest.
He was already having a fever and feeling dizzy, and after taking the health pills, he felt so lazy that he fell asleep almost the moment he lay down.
As soon as Zheng Hai came out of Emperor Jing's bedroom, a young eunuch immediately handed him a bowl of black medicine and a hot towel soaked in the medicine.
He picked up the medicine and drank it in one gulp without saying a word, then took the hot towel and wiped his face and hands carefully.
"Jin Yuan, go tell General Zhou that the health-preserving pills have been given to the emperor."
"Godfather, I don't quite understand why that person over there is so concerned about the emperor's health."
Jin Yuan asked implicitly, and the person he was referring to was Qin Wang Xiao Mo.
Jin Yuan was very clear about the relationship between Xiao Mo and Emperor Jing.
Xiao Mo must have hated Emperor Jing for a long time, so how could he possibly use medicine to save him?
"You don't know this, right? He is still not fully grown. If the emperor dies at this moment and the prince succeeds to the throne, he will have nothing to do."
"But it's different when the emperor is alive. Give him one or two years to grow up. If the emperor is seriously ill at that time, he will not only not send medicine, but will directly lead his troops to kill him."
"Jin Yuan, your father has paved the way for you. Now you'd better pray to the heavens to let that person ascend the throne smoothly, otherwise you may never be able to sit in the position of the chief eunuch in your life."
"Godfather, I understand."
Zheng Hai patted Jin Yuan on the shoulder.
Just now he said that he would serve Emperor Jing for the rest of his life, and it was not just a casual remark.
If that day really comes, he wants to follow Emperor Jing.
He knew that he had too many secrets that were not to be seen. Given his personality, how could he let him live alone?
Xiao Yi entered the palace early in the morning and did not return to the Prince's Mansion in the evening.
Ye Yanran vaguely guessed that Emperor Jing had contracted an epidemic, and was afraid that the illness was serious.
There is currently an epidemic raging in the capital, it would be great if she could come up with a solution to the problem.
Not only can it save Emperor Jing's life, but it can also make him famous in the capital.
Unfortunately, Madam Yao, who had the best medical skills, was made to disappear without a trace by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. She was powerless and could only watch helplessly.
"She is truly my nemesis. If Lady Yao were here, this Crown Princess would have become famous in the capital long ago."
The more Ye Yanran thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Everything should have gone smoothly, but why did so many problems arise?
No, she was trying to find ways to make trouble for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. It would be best if she took advantage of the epidemic to let Emperor Jing and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui die together. Then, when Xiao Yi ascended the throne, she could directly become the Queen from the Crown Princess.
Thinking of this, Ye Yanran's unhappiness instantly disappeared.
Becoming a queen has been Ye Yanran’s long-cherished wish. She has waited for too long, and now it is finally going to come true.
