The guards at the rear and the eunuchs in front seemed to have turned into stone sculptures in the misty morning light.
Chen Danzhu looked at Chu Xiurong, his face dimmed by the morning light.
"Your Majesty woke up once, but I still don't know what happened." He whispered, "Only the Crown Prince and Jin Zhong know."
That is to say, the current result between the Sixth Prince and her was not his purpose, or even what he expected. Chen Danzhu wanted to ask what his purpose was, but in the end he said nothing and curtsied.
Looking at the silent Chen Danzhu, Chu Xiurong didn't say anything anymore. Suddenly something like this happened, and this calm girl felt uneasy and wary. He was no longer the same in her heart.
It is true that he is not innocent. It was him who caused the Sixth Prince and Chen Danzhu to bear the blame of the Qi-sick Emperor.
What was he going to tell her? That he was just using them and didn't really want to kill them? So, don't be angry?
"Danzhu, I didn't want to hurt you." He finally said, although the words sounded weak.
Chen Danzhu smiled: "Yes, Your Highness, I know, you didn't mean to hurt me, it's just a coincidence."
Unfortunately, she had close contacts with General Iron Mask and the Sixth Prince, and they were involved.
Unfortunately, he glanced at her one more time at Tingyun Temple, spoke to her a few more words, and got involved with her. Otherwise, why would he need to worry about her feelings, and why should he care whether she was sad or happy?
, do you hate him or blame him?
Chu Xiurong took a step back to get out of the way: "You, take a good rest first."
When the morning light enveloped the earth, the panicful night finally passed.
Chen Danzhu was imprisoned in the Criminal Division of the Imperial Palace. This place was not as comfortable as the cell that Commander Li had prepared for her, but it was beyond her expectations - she thought she was going to be severely tortured, but in the end she was able to feel at ease.
Had a good sleep.
The bed in the cell is very simple, but the mattress is new, soft and fragrant. There is also a table in the small room and a clay stove tea set.
The prince did not appear from beginning to end, and seemed not to care about her life or death? Chu Xiurong also did not appear again? But it was Aji who came to deliver breakfast.
"Aji, are you okay?" Chen Danzhu happily took Aji's arm and looked around, "Have you been beaten?"
Aji saw the concern and joy in the girl's eyes. He felt sour in his heart and snorted: "I'm not you? I didn't make any mistakes? How could I be beaten?"
Chen Danzhu sighed: "You are serving His Majesty. If something like this happens to His Majesty, the people around him will always be held accountable."
Aji thought to himself that he is not serving His Majesty, but Chen Danzhu? Has something happened to Your Majesty? Just punish Chen Danzhu and ignore this little person.
Alas, he felt bad when he saw Miss Danzhu being put in a cell again. The last time Miss Danzhu committed a serious crime of murder and was put in a cell? There were iron-faced generals who offered death in exchange for getting away with it. The most important thing is that the emperor still
Awake? Miss Danzhu was not only acquitted but also granted the title of princess, but now? The Iron-faced General is dead and cannot die a second time? The emperor is also sick? What can Miss Danzhu do this time?
"Let's eat first." Aji sighed and said, "It's all what you like to eat."
Chen Danzhu sat down and sighed: "When I think of His Majesty being ill, nothing I eat tastes good anymore."
It's just that it doesn't taste good, it's not that I can't eat it, and Aji wants to laugh a little. Anyway, Miss Danzhu is in good spirits, that's fine.
"How is your Majesty?" Chen Danzhu asked him again.
Since Aji has been arranged - it should be arranged by Chu Xiurong, so some news can be conveyed.
Aji did know that, as he said before, he was actually mainly serving Chen Danzhu in front of the emperor and was not an important eunuch. Therefore, during this period, the prince used his servants to replace a lot of people in the emperor's palace, but he still continued
stayed.
"Doctor Hu, who was presented by the Marquis of Zhou, is indeed very powerful. He said that Your Majesty would wake up, and His Majesty would wake up." Aji said, "But His Majesty cannot speak yet."
If you can't speak, then the prince can only continue to be the emperor's messenger, Chen Danzhu thought with his chopsticks.
"Also, His Highness is going to announce to the courtiers today that after he wakes up, he will accuse the Sixth Prince of poisoning Your Majesty, and that poison——" Aji glanced at Chen Danzhu and said nothing more.
Chen Danzhu understood and pointed at himself with chopsticks: "Did I provide it?"
Aji nodded: "Yes, and Miss Danzhu, you already admitted it after you were arrested last night."
Chen Danzhu picked up a chopstick and put the dish into his mouth and nodded: "That's good, it's better than beating me up and saying I admit it."
Now the prince has the final say, but he didn't take the opportunity to beat her half to death, which was very merciful.
Aji laughed and glared again: "That's because the prince doesn't care. He'll take care of you when he's done."
The prince now gives half of his heart to the emperor, and half of his heart is in the court. He has to arrest the sixth prince, and there are also envoys from Xiliang, so he is very busy.
Chen Danzhu clasped his hands and said, "Then I ask the gods and Buddhas to protect the prince and keep him busy."
.....
.....
The morning light was bright, and the prince sat beside the bed and slowly fed a spoonful of medicine into the emperor's mouth.
The emperor's eyes were half closed, but swallowing was much smoother than before.
"Your Highness, it's ready." Doctor Hu said from the side. "The remaining half bowl of medicine should be used after two hours."
The prince sighed: "I will probably be too busy with court affairs at that time."
King Yan, who was standing aside, said hurriedly: "Your Highness, we are here."
The prince looked at him and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, second brother."
When King Yan was about to say that he didn't want to work hard, the prince had already looked away: "You are alone here now, you should go and have a rest first."
King Yan swallowed back what he was about to say and responded, taking King Lu and King Qi with him to exit.
King Lu couldn't help but yawn and muttered in a low voice, "We can't rest well now."
The prince will go to court soon, and they will come here as a decoration.
It was said that they were serving the emperor, but in fact it was the prince who summoned them here and then left. Even if they were serving here, they could not even get close to the emperor. Fuqing was watching from the side and they were not allowed to do this or that, let alone talk to the emperor.
"The prince is not here right now. Don't disturb your majesty. If something happens to you, how can you tell me?"
They couldn't explain it, so they could only poke at it.
It was really hard, and I’m totally embarrassed to say it was hard. After all, I didn’t even feed His Majesty a morsel of food or medicine.
King Yan glared at him: "My father is like this, how can you rest well? Do you have the heart?"
King Lu shrank his head: "I just want to contribute more and do something." Then he looked at King Qi shrewdly, "Third brother, don't you think so?"
Chu Xiurong said: "We have nothing else to do now."
Yes, King Yan and King Lu were fine, they had nothing to do. King Qi originally had a plan to recruit scholars, but now the prince pointed him to someone else to do it.
There was also their marriage. Of course, His Majesty was so ill that he could not discuss the marriage. However, the families of the three princesses wanted to come to the palace to visit the emperor, but they were rejected by the prince. His attitude towards the three nobles was very cold -
Although they were dispensable in front of their father, now that their father was in a coma and the prince became the master of the imperial city, their feelings were different again. King Lu couldn't help but mutter: "It's better to live under your brother than to live with him."
It’s still different in front of my father.”
The prince also felt the same way.
After saying goodbye to the emperor, he changed his clothes and came to the main hall. He looked at the courtiers standing in the hall and saluted with respect. The prince felt that this respect was still different from the previous days.
In the past, when his father was always there, he didn't feel any difference in the attitude of the courtiers when he stood at the lower end. But after experiencing the feeling of not having an emperor at the upper end, it was different.
The courtiers were resistant to several things he said in court today, and some even said they would wait until His Majesty gets better before making any judgments.
Even when he said that the sixth prince poisoned the emperor, eunuch Jinzhong testified that the emperor personally ordered the execution of the sixth prince, but the court was still noisy for a long time.
If the emperor was sitting here personally giving orders, would they dare to make any noise?
The emperor has been ill for these days, but he has never felt very tired. Now that the emperor is getting better, he feels very tired.
The prince sat on the steps and walked to the harem. From a distance, he saw Yuan Zhang passing by.
"Master Zhang," he called, "Why aren't you in front of His Majesty?"
Zhang Yuanpian saluted the prince and said: "I'm going to prepare the medicine. Your Majesty has Doctor Hu there, so I can't help him. Also, just as I was about to tell His Majesty the good news, Your Majesty woke up again and is in better spirits."
Oh, that's really good news. The prince smiled at him and looked towards the emperor's palace in front.
