Chapter 338: Follow-Up 1
In front of the prince, the grandson did not ask any more questions, but only looked at Wei Yan deeply.
Wei Yan looked back calmly, his eyes were clear.
The more calm he was, the more the grandson was sure of his guess.
Although it was not clear what Wei Yan had done, the fact that the grandfather took too much medicine and indulged in sensual pleasures and fell into a coma must have something to do with Wei Yan!
He should be angry at Wei Yan's audacity!
But in fact, he did not have the anger he should have in his heart, but instead slowly rose a kind of shame-like sadness.
For the safety of Ling Jingshu, Wei Yan dared to do something daring and dared to risk his life to protect her! In the face of this determination and courage, his cowardice and retreat were so pale and powerless.
For the first time in his life, he experienced the bitter taste of "I am really not as good as him".
"My father's dragon body will be entrusted to Doctor Wei." The prince's voice interrupted the grandson's chaotic and dark thoughts.
Wei Yan solemnly agreed: "I will do my best to help the emperor recover. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
The prince sighed and called the crown prince and others to leave together.
Wei Yan respectfully saw them off, and when he stood up again, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
His risky move was successful!
After this incident, the emperor's body was completely damaged. Without more than half a year of recuperation, he could not get out of bed. Even if he recovers in the future, he will be powerless against women.
Ling Jingshu is finally safe!
…
"Miss, I heard that the emperor has woken up."
Qiao Yun, who went out to inquire about the news, came back soon and brought the latest news.
Ling Jingshu, who still looked sick, nodded calmly.
Bai Yu curiously asked: "How is Wang Zhaorong now?"
Qiao Yun shrugged: "Wang Zhaorong is locked in the bedroom, and she can't come out for a while. The concubine Shu fainted due to excessive excitement. A lot of complicated things in the palace have to be taken care of by the concubine Xian, and someone has to take care of the emperor. It is estimated that the concubine Xian will not have time to interrogate Wang Zhaorong for a while."
After a pause, she whispered quickly: "The imperial physician Wei, the imperial physician Zhou and others are guarding the emperor, and the prince of Yan also stayed. It is said that the prince of Yan ordered people to move a small bed to the emperor's dragon bed, and take care of the emperor's food, clothing and daily life personally, and show his filial piety as a son. Now everyone in the palace is praising the prince of Yan for his filial piety!"
What happens in the palace will soon spread outside the palace.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has always valued benevolence and filial piety. The reputation of the prince of Yan will soon reach a new height because of this incident.
This prince of Yan does not miss any opportunity to please the emperor, and is good at seizing opportunities. He is really a powerful person.
Thinking of this, Ling Jingshu was secretly moved. However, she was not worried about the prince and the grandson of the emperor.
The situation now is completely different from the previous life. The prince of Yan only relies on the emperor's favor and has no power to really shake the prince's position. The grandson of the emperor is also wary of the prince of Yan. It is not easy for the prince of Yan to compete for the position of the crown prince.
For her, most of the hatred in the previous life has been avenged. There is no need to mention the fate of Empress Xu and Princess Changping. Lu Hong was also forced to become a monk and his future was ruined.
The last enemy left is Lu An.
She did not intend to get involved in the battle for the throne, nor did she have the ability to get involved. What she had to do now was to protect herself first and live safely in the palace.
With Wei Yan's understanding and support, even if she was trapped in the palace, she would no longer feel panic and sadness in her heart.
...
The emperor fell completely, and Ling Jingshu no longer had to be sick.
In the following days, Ling Jingshu ate well and slept well in a good mood in the room. She did not get up at night to blow cold wind, and took medicine on time for three meals a day. Her body recovered quickly.
Everyone in Zichen Palace was worried about the emperor's illness, and no one paid attention to Ling Jingshu's movements. Even the most diligent female official Qian who came to visit before was nowhere to be seen.
Ling Jingshu was also happy to rest for a few more days, until her body recovered and her cheeks regained their rosy color, and then she left the room.
After Ling Jingshu recovered from her illness, she specifically reported to Eunuch Ding: "Eunuch Ding, my illness has been cured. I can start working today. The emperor needs to rest and rest recently, and it is inconvenient to place potted plants in the bedroom. I dare to apologize to Eunuch Ding, and I will not enter the emperor's bedroom to serve him in the future."
Eunuch Ding had not slept well for many days in order to serve the emperor's dragon body. He was already exhausted. How could he care about these things? He nodded casually and let Ling Jingshu leave.
Eunuch Ding no longer showed his previous courtesy, which made Ling Jingshu more certain that the emperor was indeed seriously ill this time, and she felt extremely happy. The huge stone that weighed on her heart disappeared without a trace.
The only regret was that Wei Yan had been staying in the bedroom to serve, even at night. The two were close to each other, but they had almost no chance to meet.
Occasionally, they met, but they could only look at each other from a distance through the crowd of people, which was a little comforting.
…
Half a month later, the emperor's dragon body finally improved slightly. He no longer had to take medicine all day, and he could already drink some porridge and soup, and he could barely speak.
The imperial doctors also breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to stay in the Zichen Palace all day, and the imperial doctors Zhou, Zhang and Wei took turns to watch over the emperor.
Concubine Wei finally had the leisure to spare her hands to thoroughly investigate what happened that day.
The first person to suffer was Eunuch Huang who presented the Dragon and Tiger Pills.
Eunuch Huang knelt down tremblingly in front of Concubine Wei Xian, crying with tears in his eyes: "I have been in the palace for twenty years, and have been working as an errand in the minister's room for more than ten years. I have always been loyal to the emperor. Just give me a gift." No matter how brave I am, I will never dare to tamper with the medicine. Please give me a warning!"
"This Longhu Pill is just a pill for replenishing the body. Before the emperor took it, it was checked by the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. If Concubine Xian doesn't believe it, she can call Dr. Zhang to find out. There are still a few pills left by Dr. Zhang. There is still a lot left in the medicine bottle that the slave presented. If anything is found to be wrong, the slave will be cut into pieces without complaining!"
Concubine Wei Xian's pretty face was as cold as frost: "You offered the Dragon Tiger Pills, and it was indeed after the Emperor took the pills that he indulged in women and caused damage to the dragon's body. Even if the pills themselves are fine, you can't escape the blame. . Come, put Mr. Huang in the prison first, and then make a judgment after I find out the whole story."
Eunuch Huang was dragged away by the guards. He kept crying that he was wronged, but he felt a little calmer in his heart.
After something like this happened, it was lucky that Concubine Wei Xian didn't have someone beat him to death.
It seemed that Imperial Physician Wei had already secretly communicated with Concubine Wei Xian to save his life.
