Chapter 571
Although King Xiling tried his best to cover it up, the emperor still knew that he was sick in bed.
The emperor specially sent Gan Fu to visit King Xiling and brought him two imperial physicians.
King Xiling could not shirk, and could only accept the diagnosis and treatment of two imperial physicians.
The two imperial physicians took his pulse one after another and looked at each other with a strange look.
They have practiced medicine for many years, and their medical skills are superb, so it is natural to see that King Xiling is poisoned.
But I don't know what kind of poison is in it?
When King Xiling saw them like that, he knew that they didn't know how to detoxify the poison. He was disappointed and sighed helplessly.
"To be honest, I was resting in the garden two days ago and was bitten by a poisonous snake. The snake was very poisonous, and I felt dizzy after being bitten. In the past two days, I have invited all the doctors in the city to the side, but it still doesn't get better."
Gan Fu asked: "Why doesn't the lord let people go to the imperial physician? Aren't the imperial physicians in the palace much better than the folk doctors?"
The King of Xiling smiled bitterly: "If I go to ask the imperial doctor, I will definitely disturb the emperor and the empress dowager. I don't want to make them worry about this trivial matter."
Gan Fu sighed with emotion: "My lord's thoughts are really touching."
The two imperial physicians left the prescriptions, and gave some precautions, and went back to the palace together with Gan Fu.
King Xiling picked up the prescription and looked at it. They were all medicinal herbs that warm the body and were of little use.
He threw the prescription away and said with a cold face.
"Is there any news from Concubine Xiao?"
Xie Chuxue replied softly: "Every city gate is guarded by people from the Patrol Division, including General Zhongwu's Mansion and the vicinity of the palace gate, there are also people watching, and I have never seen any trace of Concubine Xiao."
King Xiling's eyes were gloomy: "She has not left the city, nor has she returned to her mother's house and the palace, so where else can she go?"
The paining wound kept reminding him that Concubine Xiao caused him to become like this.
His ambition, his great cause, all suffered because of her!
As long as he thinks of her, his eyes turn red with hatred.
Xie Chuxue couldn't answer.
To be honest, she didn't expect such a comprehensive plan, and she actually made a fool of herself with Concubine Xiao.
She is obviously just a stupid woman who lives by the prince.
Xie Chuxue pursed her lips and said, "I knew this earlier, I should have killed Concubine Xiao the first time I caught her."
If she died, there wouldn't be so much trouble later.
King Xiling: "It's useless to say these things now, inform the Qin family and ask the people from the Patrol Division to withdraw, so don't stare at them anymore."
Xie Chuxue: "Why?"
King Xiling: "It's been three days, and Concubine Xiao has not been found yet, which means that she is no longer in the city, and staring at her is a waste of manpower."
Xie Chuxue frowned: "Where can she go out of the city?"
King Xiling sneered: "Where else can we go? It can only be the prince's place."
Xie Chuxue lowered his voice: "Prince Prince has probably already noticed our plan now, keeping him would be a disaster, should we send someone to the imperial mausoleum and give the prince and Concubine Xiao together..."
"Need not."
It's not that King Xiling never thought about killing the prince and never having trouble.
But after careful consideration, he temporarily suppressed the idea.
Now the emperor is worried that he can't find his fault. If he kills the prince, he will give his own handle to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not be merciful at that time.
Right now they have other more important things to do, and the Prince's affairs can be postponed.
King Xiling clutched the painful wound, and his eyes became more and more ruthless.
"The prince is now a phoenix in trouble. If we leave him in a place like the imperial mausoleum, even if we don't do it, there will be others who can't help but want to do it. Let's wait and see the show."
Xie Chuxue asked softly, "Why don't we send a few people to watch around the imperial mausoleum? Let's see who will be the first to lose his temper?"
"Um."
...
After listening to the reports of the imperial physicians, the emperor frowned and asked.
"Are you sure it's snake venom?"
An imperial doctor shook his head: "Weichen can't be sure what kind of poison it is. The poison is very strange. Weichen has practiced medicine for many years and has never seen that kind of poison."
Another imperial doctor said: "It is speculated from the wound that King Xiling has been injured by the blade. The poison should have been smeared on the blade, and then entered the body of King Xiling through the wound."
Emperor: "That is to say, King Xiling was stabbed by someone?"
The two imperial physicians said yes in unison.
The emperor smiled strangely: "I didn't expect that King Xiling would provoke an enemy when he first came to Shengjing."
Originally, he was still pondering how to take back the throne and fief of King Xiling, but now it seems that he can just sit back and enjoy it without his help.
He waved his hand, signaling the imperial physicians to step back.
Just as the imperial physicians left, the fifth prince Luo Yan came after him.
Luo Yanzhi held the article he just wrote and asked his father to comment.
There have been a lot of things like this lately.
Since the prince was sent to the imperial mausoleum, there have been rumors in the harem of the former dynasty that "the emperor wants to abolish the prince", and some people say that the emperor has even written the edict to abolish the prince, and will soon make it public.
These things are said with nose and eyes, and some people can't help but move their minds.
Especially those princes, and the supporters behind them.
They thought it would be a great opportunity.
The emperor found that the princes had become extraordinarily diligent recently. Not only did they work harder in their studies, but also when they had nothing to do, they approached him and tried their best to show their presence in front of him.
The emperor's thoughts towards the princes were clear, but he didn't say anything, and it wasn't a bad thing anyway.
The aristocratic families who had formed a relationship with the prince because of cheating in the scientific examinations have been very excited recently. They kept presenting papers to the emperor, impeaching the prince for his immorality. .
In addition to these enemies of the prince, there are many people in the court who support the prince, and they all plead for the prince, hoping that the emperor can be kind and let the prince come back.
He read all of these excerpts, and then threw them aside without giving any response.
For a time, everyone couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, and they didn't understand his attitude towards the prince.
The former harem was turbulent because of the prince's affairs, but the prince himself was very leisurely at this time.
He is painting in the imperial mausoleum at the moment.
Xiao Xixi sat under the porch and fed the cat.
There are many wild cats in the imperial mausoleum. After Xiao Xixi found it, he took some small dried fish and chicken strips from the stove.
She put the food in bowls and put it under the porch, and the smell of the food soon attracted several feral cats.
At first they were still vigilant, only wandering in the distance, not daring to approach.
After looking at it for a long time, they found no danger, and they couldn't stand the temptation of delicious food, so they moved to the bowl step by step.
