The secret guard did not enter the palace, so I don't know how the third prince's concubine reported it to Concubine Chen, but Bai Ling was not implicated.
However, after several imperial doctors one after another failed to treat the third prince, Concubine Chen asked for the emperor's grace and asked Bai Ling to treat the third prince.
It happened that the emperor was at Concubine Xiao's place. After hearing Concubine Chen's cry, Concubine Xiao couldn't help but frown.
"Sister is concerned about the third prince's condition, but don't forget that Princess Jixiang is a woman." Concubine Xiao spoke at the right time, causing the emperor who was about to nod to pause.
"What's wrong with the woman? Isn't she a doctor? My son is a prince, and in the future..."
Concubine Chen was so anxious that she almost revealed her ambition.
After taking a look at the emperor's face, Concubine Chen hurriedly changed her words and said: "How can I be a prince in the future! Even if he is an emperor, he will only be a prince for the rest of his life. He is also a relative of the emperor. If word spreads that he cannot have children, how will the people of the world regard him?
Royalty?"
When the sons grew up, they all stared at the dragon throne, so the emperor naturally knew about it.
The emperor understood what Concubine Chen was about to say just now, and was inevitably unhappy in his heart.
But no matter how unhappy he is, his son can't be humane. It would be really embarrassing for this matter to spread.
"Sister, the imperial concubine, must have forgotten that although Princess Jixiang has superb medical skills, she is not a doctor, but runs a pharmacy business."
Concubine Xiao spoke calmly and turned to the emperor: "I know that the emperor also feels sorry for the third prince, but now the imperial doctors are helpless, but they still have a clue.
Why not ask Princess Jixiang privately if it can be cured? If not, you can avoid leaking the news, which will not only affect the reputation of the princess, but also make the third prince a bad person!"
"Why can't my prince be a good person? Concubine Xiao, what do you mean by this? Please speak clearly!" Concubine Chen relied on being favored and had a pair of children. She was always aloof in the harem, even the queen did not let her go.
in the eyes.
However, the emperor has been favoring Concubine Xiao recently, and feels that he owes Concubine Xiao, and also needs to take care of the existence of the Xiao family, so he has a vague intention of being kinder to Concubine Xiao than Concubine Chen.
They happened to be facing each other today, and Concubine Chen was using this as an excuse to ask the emperor to punish Concubine Xiao.
"I just gave the emperor a suggestion on how to make a decision. I don't dare to interfere." Concubine Xiao ignored the noisy Concubine Chen and stood up to greet the emperor.
The emperor raised his hand to help Concubine Xiao up. He was more fond of Concubine Xiao, who was always gentle and cold, than those concubines who only knew how to compete and be jealous.
After all, as he got older, the emperor came to the harem just to rest and balance the power of the previous dynasty, and he was no longer keen on that matter.
"Chen Guifei, because you are worried about the third prince's condition, you lose your sense of proportion. I will not argue with you today. Next time, don't occupy this position of imperial concubine.
Why didn't the third prince refuse to be promoted? Don't you, a mother-in-law, still not understand? You have to let me investigate, put all his ridiculous things on the table, and then demote him to a commoner in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family?
"
The emperor felt extremely bored when he saw Concubine Chen wearing heavy makeup and wiping her tears like a young girl.
"You go down first. I will arrange this matter. Don't make any arbitrary decisions, otherwise I won't mind letting the cold palace open again!"
Concubine Chen's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the emperor would not miss her old relationship.
But thinking that the third prince might be deposed, and a sterile prince was not qualified to compete for the throne, he immediately felt panicked and hurriedly thanked him and resigned.
"My beloved concubine, please send a message to your mother clan and ask someone to ask Princess Jixiang. Remember, this matter must not be revealed even to your mother clan." The emperor said tiredly.
Not many princes grew up safely, so even if his sons failed, the emperor did not want anything to happen to them.
Concubine Xiao felt embarrassed, but she still agreed, but had to remind: "I don't know if those imperial doctors alerted other people when they went to the Third Prince's Mansion. I'm afraid that if someone wants to investigate, they will easily let the wind out.
of."
The third prince wanted to seize the throne, so the prince kept a close eye on the third prince's house.
There are everyone among the imperial doctors, so there is no guarantee that no one will leak the information. Concubine Xiao does not want her clan members to be implicated.
"I will handle this matter." The emperor had a headache. He also knew that his sons wanted to kill each other for that position, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity to attack each other. "I will deal with the government affairs first. You also have some
I haven’t seen the old prince since then, so I’ll go back to his mansion to visit him. I’ll come see you later.”
"Can I take the ninth princess out of the palace?" Concubine Xiao asked.
"Of course it's okay. Jiu'er also likes to go to my grandfather's house. If she wants to stay and play for a few days, you don't have to rush to take her back to the palace. It's just enough for Princess Jixiang to nurse her back to health." The emperor suddenly understood Xiao
The concubine's intention is to give you some grace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will send someone to report to the Empress and prepare to leave the palace." Concubine Xiao thanked her.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: This is a daughter trained by a wealthy family. She will abide by the rules at all times.
Bai Ling had already guessed that the royal family would eventually find her, and had already prepared several pills.
The third prince can restore his functions as a man, but he must suffer a lot, otherwise Bai Ling would be reluctant to give him the pills.
It's just that Bai Ling didn't expect that by coincidence, Concubine Xiao would solve the problem. Instead, she wanted to show off her favor.
The secret guard reported the clues found. Bai Ling was thinking about how to take revenge on the third prince when he heard a girl reporting outside the door. Concubine Xiao told Bai Ling to go to the Xiao Mansion to get Ping An's pulse for the ninth princess.
"Let people pay close attention, don't alert the snake first. There is no need to keep an eye on the third prince's house too closely. Search for evidence of the third prince's crimes with all your strength, and wait for my order." Bai Ling guessed why Concubine Xiao came at this time.
To tell him, he had to give some instructions to the secret guards before going out.
The third prince is not a good person, but he is the only prince who can contain the prince.
Over the years, Shangguan Yu has collected a lot of evidence of the third prince's crimes, but he has never let them come out. Perhaps he deliberately kept the third prince to fight with the prince.
Bai Ling had never had any contact with the prince, but he also knew that the prince was narrow-minded and had mediocre qualifications, so he was not a good candidate for the king.
At this point, the prince is not even as good a woman as the queen.
Once the prince really ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will definitely be in power as a relative. The current queen may listen to politics from behind the curtain, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty will be in chaos.
Although Bai Ling doesn't have the heart of a Bodhisattva, he doesn't want his life to be ruined, let alone that he and the people he cares about will be involved in the royal struggle.
On the way to the Xiao Mansion, Bai Ling thought a lot and realized that she didn't know the royal family thoroughly enough.
It wasn't until he saw Concubine Xiao that Bai Ling stopped thinking.
"The Ninth Princess is recovering very well. There is no need to change the dressing. Just take it according to the previous prescription." Bai Ling first diagnosed the Ninth Princess's pulse and said in a doctor's tone.
"Ninth Princess, would you like to send your great-grandmother back to the house to rest?" Mrs. Xiao asked the Ninth Princess with a kind smile.
"Okay." Ninth Princess glanced at Concubine Xiao and then nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Xiao wanted to stay, but Mrs. Xiao asked her to serve her and go to bed, and then took everyone away.
Concubine Xiao's aunt dismissed the maids and maids who were waiting in the room, leaving only Bai Ling and Concubine Xiao, who obviously had something to say alone.
"According to the rules, I shouldn't tell you everything. This also violates the emperor's holy will..." (To be continued)
