Chapter 622 Are you ready?

Eunuch Si said, "It's not that there is no chance. The emperor values Prince Xiaoxiang very much. It's a pity that there is no chance today. With those two damn golden eagles here, otherwise, it would not be impossible to kill him first and report later!"

"How are you? Were you really injured by the golden eagle?" the queen asked with concern.

"Well, his health is failing. He can't hold on for much longer. The sequelae are too severe. But don't worry, things will be planned out. The true dragon energy in his body is almost exhausted. By then, the crown prince will be legitimate..." Eunuch Si said in a cold tone.

The queen was a little sad, "Alas!!"

He let out a long sigh.

"Is there no other solution? A magic pill or something?"

Eunuch Si shook his head.

"He said today that I was impulsive and impulsive. It's true. I've endured this long, so these few days won't make a difference. However, today's opportunity was rare, but unfortunately it didn't go as I wished. Now he's suspicious again, so we have to speed up the process."

The queen's face looked particularly gloomy and terrifying under the light of the lantern.

"Can we go all out and send someone to Prince Xiang's Mansion tonight? We have some of our people in the Imperial Guard, right? We can perfectly avoid them..."

Eunuch Si disagreed. "Prince Zhan has moved in with Prince Xiang. Our people can't get in. Going in now would be like committing suicide. We might even be discovered. We've already been impulsive once today. We can't do it again."

The Queen sighed, "Well, what should we do now? The situation is extremely unfavorable..."

There was no need to be so anxious originally. We could wait until the prince was older.

The prince is young and lacks virtue. It may not be a good idea for him to ascend the throne too quickly, as he may not be accepted by others.

As a result, an accident happened.

The descendants of King Xiang suddenly returned to Beijing and were successfully rehabilitated.

The headquarters of Baihua Tower was raided, and the attack backfired on Eunuch Si, who almost lost his life. After using the secret technique, his martial arts skills were greatly reduced, and he could not maintain it for a few months.

Now, Xuan Huang is becoming increasingly cold towards them...

We can only speed up the process.

Eunuch Si said coldly, "He has the aura of a true dragon, and mages often pray for him and exorcise evil spirits. Evil spells are useless to him. Otherwise, they would have cast a spell on him before, directly controlling him and making him a puppet. Everything would be easy..."

There is no other way, except to give him long-term medication to erode away the true dragon energy in him. Then, when the time comes, I can attack him without anyone noticing. This way, the crown prince can ascend the throne legitimately."

Otherwise, if an old minister like Prince Zhan becomes suspicious and discovers something wrong, the prince's position as crown prince will be unstable.

The Queen pressed on, "What's going on now? Is the time right?"

Eunuch Si nodded. "It's almost time. Lately, my blood has been added to his medicine, and the dosage has been increased. He's been experiencing symptoms like poor sleep, palpitations, frequent dreams, hallucinations, and dementia. We need to get this done while Liao Jiu and Princess Fu'an are still here. Otherwise, if Princess Fu'an does return, who knows if she, such a wicked person, will help him detoxify again..."

"Are you ready then?"

"Well, everything is ready." Eunuch Si's voice was ethereal, with a hint of strange excitement.

The Queen said in an expectant tone, "Alright, then let them be arrogant for a few days. Once the situation is settled and the dust has settled, and my son ascends to a high position, I will make them look bad! The descendants of Prince Xiang, Princess Fu'an, the Governor of the Six Gates, all of them, die..."

Just thinking about it makes people feel very happy.

"Just be patient for the next few days. Now everything is ready, we just need the east wind."

"good."

The weather was gloomy. Thunder exploded in the night sky and heavy rain fell. Eunuch Si, dressed in black, disappeared in the rain again.

***

The weather in the capital was bad, and it rained heavily for several days in a row.

It is already late autumn, and it is freezing cold with freezing rain.

The eldest princess didn't know whether she had caught a cold from the rain or something else, and had been bedridden for several days. The palace physician came to see her and prescribed some medicine, but the medicine didn't work. She coughed all day long and had no time to care about her wedding date.

After hearing about it, the future prince consort Wang Ming went to the palace in the rain to check on the princess. The rain had just stopped, so he brought a small sedan chair and took the princess to the temple to pray to the Buddha, as she might have offended the Tai Sui.

The eldest princess was reluctant to go out at first, but she could not resist Wang Ming's concern and thought it was out of good intentions, so she could not refuse.

Just go.

Unexpectedly, after she went to a little-known small temple outside the city to pray, the master took some incense ash and dissolved it into water for her to drink. Surprisingly, her cold was cured immediately. After counting with his fingers, he said that the engagement date was not a good day because it conflicted with her zodiac sign. If this date was set, she would get sick in the future. He suggested that she change the date.

The eldest princess believed it and asked the master to help her calculate the most suitable wedding date. Then, she immediately returned to the city and went to the palace to find Emperor Xuan.

Xuan Huang was reading a memorial at his desk. His head and eyes felt dizzy, so he stopped, took a few deep breaths, and continued reading.

His condition has been getting worse over the past two days, and Master Dazhi's chanting of sutras to exorcise evil spirits has been of no use.

The palace doctors came one after another, but it was of no use.

Emperor Xuan was always a dedicated emperor. He had not attended the morning court for the past few days. It was because his mind was in a mess when he attended the court, and he forced himself to recuperate.

I lay down but couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and read the memorial.

Hearing that the eldest princess was coming, he forced himself to close his eyes and recuperate for a while.

He opened his eyes and said, "It's raining. I heard you caught a cold. What are you doing in the palace? If you have something to do, don't you know how to ask the servants to run errands?"

The eldest princess's skirt and quilt were wet, but her eyes were bright and her spirits were high.

"Father, your son's cold has healed. Look, my nose isn't runny anymore, and my headache isn't hurting anymore."

Xuan Huang said, "The medicine from the Imperial Hospital seems to be quite effective. Which imperial physician treated you?"

The eldest princess laughed and said, "Father, it wasn't the imperial physician who cured me. It was a great monk from a temple outside the city who cured me. Wang Ming said I hadn't felt any better after taking medicine for a few days, so he took me to ask the Bodhisattva for help. At the temple, the great monk said I had offended Tai Sui and gave me a bowl of water with incense ash in it to drink, and I was cured immediately."

"Oh? So magical? What kind of Tai Sui did I offend?" The veins on Xuanhuang's forehead bulged and throbbed again.

"Father, you heard about me. The monk said that I chose the wrong wedding date, and that I'm in conflict with Tai Sui. If I don't change it, I'll suffer from illness in the future. He even calculated an auspicious day for me. Father, can I change the wedding date? To three days from now?"

Emperor Xuan had an unbearable headache and slammed the table. "Ridiculous! How can such a major event be changed? The previous date was an auspicious day predicted by Master Dazhi for the two of you. How did it offend your Tai Sui? Besides, the date has already been set and posted. I already felt it was a little too close, and you want to change it even closer? No way!"
