Chapter 1265 Epilogue: The Battle of the East Palace (7)
After hearing Zhu Jianqing's words, Yu Shiyue and Huai En looked at each other without lingering.
You know, even if the content of this quarrel in the East Palace can be concealed, they just called the imperial doctor over. The matter involves the prince, and the imperial doctor must record the medical records truthfully.
In this way, the prince's sudden coma cannot be concealed. As the official of the prince's residence, Yu Shiyue has to rush to make arrangements to deal with it, but he does not have time to wait here for a long time.
As for Wynn, he was originally here to deliver the edict. He had already finished delivering the edict and had no reason to stay.
So, they raised their hands in a tacit understanding and said, "Your Highness, please stay."
Afterwards, the two of them took two steps back and left Qingning Palace.
After watching them leave, Zhu Jianqing turned around, his expression darkened, and he walked directly towards the side hall.
In the side hall, the imperial doctor just finished writing the prescription and put down his pen. Then he saw Zhu Jianqing walking in. So he immediately stood up, bowed slightly and said,
"His Royal Highness..."
Zhu Jianqing walked to and stood in front of the imperial physician, looked at the respectful imperial physician in front of him, and asked.
"Tell the truth, why did Brother Prince faint suddenly?"
The imperial doctor who asked this question was also a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, the imperial doctor forced a smile on his face and said.
"Why do you ask, Your Highness? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is indeed because he was overly worried and suddenly heard the bad news. He was so angry that his energy and blood surged, and he suddenly fell into a coma..."
"snort……"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianqing snorted coldly and said directly.
"Brother Prince has been out of the cabinet for many years. He has always been calm and calm, not alarmed by changes, and his muscles and bones are strong. Even in the cold winter months, he still keeps feasting and rarely gets sick. But this time, he was so angry that he fainted because of...
Maybe it's as simple as being angry and attacking your heart? Tell me, what's going on?"
To be honest, most of what happened today was because Zhu Jianqing was too impulsive. Now that he calmed down, Zhu Jianqing could certainly realize that what he said hurt Zhu Jianshen's heart. But then again, if Zhu Jianshen
How could Zhu Jianqing dare to be so willful...
After all, the two are brothers after all. How could Zhu Jianqing not know Zhu Jianshen's physical condition? As he just said, his brother has always had a strong body and rarely gets sick.
The impact was too great, but it was a bit strange that it couldn't hold up because of it.
After saying these words, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the imperial physician, and his lips moved for a moment, but for some unknown reason, he did not speak.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jianqing's face darkened, he directly picked up the prescription he had just written on the table and said.
"Although I don't understand medicine, it's not difficult to find a few people who do. If you don't tell me, I will take this prescription to other doctors for diagnosis. By then, won't you be able to tell the difference?
What’s the disease?”
Therefore, Zhu Jianqing is not stupid, but he grew up in a deep palace and had no contact with the court, so his mind is simple.
There are times in the palace when it is inconvenient to say certain things. This is normal. Especially when you are an imperial physician, you need to know what you can and cannot say.
However, it is one thing to say it or not. It is related to the body of the noble person. When the imperial physician prescribes a prescription, he must prescribe the right medicine.
Although it may not be accurate to use a prescription to predict the disease, it is indeed not difficult as long as you can find a capable doctor.
The imperial doctor naturally understood this truth, and sighed secretly in his heart, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Your Highness, please admit that I did not deceive Your Highness. His sudden fainting this time was indeed caused by anger..."
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Jianqing was immediately dissatisfied. Seeing this situation, the imperial doctor quickly changed the subject and said.
"but……"
"However, it is true that as His Highness said, His Highness the Crown Prince has always had strong muscles and bones. It is just that he was worried too much and was so angry that he did not fall into a coma. The reason for this is that His Highness has already suffered from heart and blood deficiency, spleen and kidney deficiency.
In addition, excessive worry has already damaged my vitality, so when I suddenly hear the bad news, I can't bear it and faint."
"Qi and blood are deficient, the spleen... what is the spleen?"
Zhu Jianqing frowned and looked at the imperial doctor in front of him with some doubts in his eyes.
As a prince who grew up in a pampered way, his usual hobbies were nature and had nothing to do with medicine. When he heard the imperial doctor speaking so professionally, he was a little confused.
However, this is not important. Zhu Jianqing soon caught the key words and asked.
"You just said that His Highness the Crown Prince had lost his vitality before this?"
Uh...the imperial doctor lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jianqing seemed to have remembered something and asked.
"Tell me, the king, why is this happening?"
This question made the imperial doctor break into cold sweat on his forehead and he kowtowed.
"Your Highness, I forgive you. I didn't intend to hide it. In fact, His Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly ordered it not to be leaked."
Hearing this, Zhu Jianqing's anger intensified and he shouted directly.
"How dare you, His Highness the Crown Prince's body is related to the country. If anything goes wrong, even a hundred lives of yours won't be enough to compensate you. Now that it has reached this point, you still dare to lie and conceal it. Do you really want me to go and ask for your Majesty's decree?"
Can I ask?"
At this point, the imperial doctor's expression suddenly changed, and he did not dare to hide it anymore and stammered.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the reason why Your Highness the Crown Prince is like this is because...because of...excessive indulgence..."
The last few words, the imperial doctor's voice became softer, but even so, Zhu Jianqing could still hear them clearly.
"What?!"
At that moment, Zhu Jianqing was shocked at first, and then a burst of anger ignited in his heart.
No wonder the imperial doctor didn't dare to say it. You know, even Zhu Jianqing, a prince who is extremely insensitive to politics, also knows that the majestic Prince of the East Palace, before he is married, has damaged his vitality due to excessive indulgence. If this spreads out, what a big deal it will be.
scandal...
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhu Jianqing turned his head suddenly, looked at Liang Fang who was standing beside him, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Is it Wan Zhen'er?"
Liang Fang lowered her head and did not dare to speak. However, in this situation, not denying actually meant admitting.
This time Zhu Jianqing was completely blown away.
In fact, he had already had a hunch about this. You should know that in the past few months, he had come to the East Palace many times. On several occasions, it took Zhu Jianshen a long time to come out to see him, and
, because they met between brothers, most of the time they met informally, and sometimes they even met directly in Zhu Jianshen's palace, so Zhu Jianqing naturally discovered some clues.
For example, many palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace looked at Wan Zhen'er quite differently from before. Another example was that Zhu Jianshen had deliberately shown Wan Zhen'er's difference in front of him several times, and even asked Zhu Jianqing to directly call her "Wan Zhen'er."
She is the chief minister of Wan.
In fact, at that time, Zhu Jianqing realized that something was wrong. However, even between brothers, some things were not easy to ask. In addition, there was no trouble, so he had some feelings for Wan Zhen'er.
Apart from my opinion, I never cared about it.
But now, who would have thought that the trouble would reach this point...
At this moment, Zhu Jianqing's heart was filled with rage, and he circled around the side hall several times like a headless fly. Then, he punched the table hard and said with hatred.
"I will kill this bitch!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed out of the palace door.
This situation frightened Liang Fang, who was standing by. He really didn't expect that the master would be so impulsive. He didn't care whether Wan Zhen'er died or not, but if Zhu Jianqing really killed her, then
Things in the East Palace cannot be covered up at all.
So, Liang Fang immediately rushed forward, knelt on the ground, hugged Zhu Jianqing's legs tightly, and said.
"Your Highness, think twice. It is not a pity for slaves to die, but if you go out like this, His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation will be completely destroyed..."
Zhu Jianqing pulled out his legs and found that Liang Fang's hug was too tight, so he slowly calmed down and punched the door frame again. He let out a long breath and said.
"Let go, I will listen to you."
Therefore, Liang Fang carefully and slowly let go of his hand. Even so, he still stared at Zhu Jianqing closely, for fear that His Highness Prince Rong would do something impulsively.
Fortunately, Zhu Jianqing obviously understood the importance and did not act recklessly. He loosened his tightly clenched fists, turned around and returned to the trembling imperial doctor, saying.
"No word of this matter is allowed to be spread outside, do you understand?"
The imperial physician was obviously very knowledgeable, and he kowtowed quickly.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and not a single word will be leaked out."
After sending the imperial doctor away, Zhu Jianqing sat on a chair, exhaled, looked at Liang Fang beside him, and said coldly.
"When did this happen?"
Liang Fang knelt down and couldn't help but sweat in her heart as she hesitated.
"This... His Highness knows that since Your Majesty has allowed His Highness the Crown Prince to take charge of the government, the servants in the East Palace are responsible for hosting banquets and communicating with the officials in the East Palace. The food and daily life of His Highness the Crown Prince are all served by Wan Shi... Wan Zhen'er is responsible for
."
"So, I don't know exactly when it was, but I estimate that it should be the Winter Solstice Festival two or three months ago. His Majesty was happy that day, and His Royal Highness also drank a few more drinks at the banquet, and returned
After the palace, I was taken care of by Wan Zhen'er and rested. I didn't feel anything unusual at first. However, when I was preparing for the sutra banquet the next day, someone suddenly sent word that His Highness the Crown Prince was not feeling well and was temporarily exempted from the sutra banquet."
"Subsequently, the slave heard that His Highness had rewarded Wan Zhen'er with a set of red gold heads and faces. At that time, the slave was suspicious, but not sure. But in the following days, His Highness rested early every day, and accompanied His Highness.
Several palace maids were also kicked out of the room in the evening. Only Wan Zhen'er was left in His Highness's palace. The servant felt something was wrong and secretly called two palace maids to come over for questioning. Only then did she know that His Highness... His Highness had already received the order.
I made Wan Zhen'er my concubine."
"absurd!"
Although he had already guessed in his mind, after hearing Liang Fang's confirmation of this matter, Zhu Jianqing couldn't help but get up and roared in pain.
"This Wan Zhen'er, she is the same age as Empress Zhou. How can my eldest brother be the same as her... It's ridiculous!"
The Empress Zhou mentioned by Zhu Jianqing is Concubine Zhou who is still being raised in Nangong, that is, Zhu Jianshen’s biological mother...
These words were really hard to accept, so Liang Fang had to quickly lower her head, pretending that she didn't hear anything.
His fist hit the case again. Zhu Jianqing stood up and said as if he had made up his mind.
"No, we can't let this bitch stay in the East Palace any longer. Otherwise, if the matter spreads, the prince's brother will be dragged to death by her."
Liang Fang was startled. Seeing that His Royal Highness did not act in a hurry this time, she reluctantly relaxed and asked cautiously.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Jianqing frowned and said with a stern expression.
"Of course, while the prince's brother was still awake, someone took care of this bitch. The palace is so deep that it's not a big deal for a palace maid to die."
Ah this...
Hearing this sentence, Liang Fang cried out again in her heart.
You know, for His Royal Highness Prince Rong, killing a palace maid is indeed not a big deal, even if the palace maid is from the East Palace. Even if the prince wakes up later, he will not be able to do anything to Zhu Jianqing. After all,
The prince is just a prince, not the emperor. It is not the prince's turn to decide whether the prince will live or die in the palace. What's more, they are still brothers.
However, this does not mean that the prince will swallow his anger. Liang Fang can almost conclude that Zhu Jianqing is really going to do this. Then when the prince wakes up, the first person to die will be him, the eunuch who asked Zhu Jianqing to take away Wan Zhen'er.
.
At that moment, Liang Fang was anxious and quickly advised her.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Wan Zhen'er's death is not a pity. However, if you deal with her like this, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely feel grudge against you. For the sake of a palace official, it is really not worth the gain to affect the brotherhood between you and His Highness the Crown Prince."
, please think twice, Your Highness."
These words made Zhu Jianqing hesitate for a moment, but then his expression darkened again and he said.
"Then are you going to let me just watch this bitch seduce the prince brother? No, it must not be like this. Today, even if the prince brother blames me, I will also deal with this bitch!"
As he talked, Zhu Jianqing was a little impulsive again. This look made Liang Fang smile again and said.
"Your Highness, I know that you are worried about Your Highness. Wan Zhen'er's matter is of great importance. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court. Therefore, it is better to handle this matter in a low-key manner."
"Furthermore, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes this girl, His Highness values filial piety more. Why don't you report this matter to the Holy Mother and ask the Holy Mother to transfer Wan Zhen'er back to Cining Palace and deal with it later."
"In this way, the matter can be solved without hurting the brotherhood. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
After the words fell, Zhu Jianqing's expression changed. He thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that this was a good idea.
This Wan Zhen'er was originally from Cining Palace, and now that she was being transferred back, outsiders would not be able to gossip. Even if Zhu Jianshen liked her, he would not disobey the Queen Mother's decree.
Even if he found out in the future and reported the matter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, after all, it was not Zhu Jianqing who made the final decision. Even if Zhu Jianshen was dissatisfied, he could not be blamed entirely on him.
Although Zhu Jianqing was a little unwilling to let this bitch go, he had no choice but to do so now...
So, he told Liang Fang to take good care of Zhu Jianshen, and he walked out of the palace gate and hurried towards Cining Palace.
Later, after Zhu Jianqing's figure disappeared, Liang Fang slowly stood up from the ground, her expression changed, and then she immediately headed towards Zhu Jianshen's palace...
