Chapter 237: Xie Yuheng suffers from a high fever and convulsions, Shen Zhao is questioned
After the minister finished speaking, the old emperor's face turned dark.
Because this minister is the one who committed the evil.
"Ugh..." Xie Yuheng retched again, his voice trembling and weak, "You left your nose on your concubine in the backyard. How can you tell that I've been drinking? Smell me and see if I smell alcohol."
He retorted bluntly.
This old guy is the chief mad dog under the Third Prince. He will bite anyone who has a problem with the Third Prince.
A few days ago, this old mad dog returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and today is his first day to attend court after returning to Kyoto.
He feels dizzy and nauseous now.
I feel like vomiting when I open my mouth to speak.
He had just deliberately spit filth onto this mad dog.
But he was now weak all over. If it weren't for Brother Chu supporting him, he thought he would be lying on the ground now.
His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he wailed inwardly at how useless he was.
I couldn't help Brother Chu, and all the burdens fell on him.
How could this be possible? He resisted the urge to vomit.
He pointed his finger and said, "Dad, he framed me. You can't let outsiders bully me and throw dirty water in your face.
If a son doesn't teach his father, he's obviously blaming you for something wrong." He just doesn't believe his father can tolerate it!
Can you please stand up and help him and Brother Chu?
Duke Xie glared at this troublesome man. The minister was a mad dog. Did he, as a father, have to fight with that mad dog?
Chen Zhao was not much better than Xie Yuheng. Her illness came like a mountain, especially when she was weak.
She tried hard to raise her head and meet the eyes of the old emperor sitting on the high throne.
He wanted to pull his hand away from supporting Xie Yuheng and bow, but he tried several times but failed.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Xie Yuheng who had just spoken.
Xie Yuheng was now half-conscious and shook his head at Brother Chu to indicate that he was fine.
It's just that he couldn't stand still, and his body's instinctive reaction made him hold on to Brother Chu tightly.
Shen Zhao frowned, she could feel Xie Yuheng trembling.
Not only Shen Zhao could sense Xie Yuheng's abnormality.
Everyone also noticed that something was wrong with General Xie. He was trembling!
Chen Zhao struggled to support Xie Yuheng, praying in his heart that Yuheng would be alright. He spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. General Xie and I are here because..."
Before Shen Zhao could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled forward, and she and Xie Yuheng fell straight to the floor.
There was a loud "bang" and Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng fell heavily to the ground.
"Hmm..." Only Chen Zhao let out a muffled groan. Xie Yuheng, who had been burned unconscious, lay there straight as if he was dead, without any movement.
Duke Xie exclaimed, "Heng'er!"
"Call the imperial physician quickly!" The old emperor stood up suddenly, his voice filled with anxiety.
He resisted the urge to step down the stairs and just stared at the two people lying on the ground.
There was suppressed worry in his eyes.
Duke Xie immediately stepped forward and picked up Xie Yuheng. The scorching heat could be felt through the clothes on Xie Yuheng's body.
Duke Xie quickly brushed away the hair that was stuck to Xie Yuheng's cheek. The moment his hand touched hers, his heart trembled.
It’s too hot, this kid has a high fever!
This is a febrile seizure!
"Heng'er? Heng'er!"
Lord Ji, Du Qian and Zheng Shi stepped forward and helped Shen Zhao up.
Duke Xie, not caring about anything else, picked up Xie Yuheng and apologized to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My son has a high fever and is now unconscious. Please allow me to send him to the Imperial Hospital. He is trembling all over. I am afraid..."
Before Duke Xie could finish his words, the old emperor immediately agreed: "Alright, someone escort Lord Xie to the Imperial Hospital."
After Duke Xie took Xie Yuheng away, the old emperor looked at Shen Zhao fiercely.
His voice was filled with a hint of coercion. "Lord Chu, do you have anything to explain to me? Why are you and Xie Yuheng both like this? What on earth did you do?"
What he actually wanted to ask was, what did you, a piece of wood, do with Heng'er?
Although Heng'er was a bit of a jerk on weekdays, he never put himself in danger.
Seeing Duke Xie's panicked expression just now, his heart was in turmoil, and he wished he could abandon all the civil and military officials in the court and rush to the Imperial Hospital.
Shen Zhao forced himself to stand straight despite the dizziness, "General Xie and I simply stayed overnight with the Northwest Army yesterday."
When Shen Zhao said this, the Minister of Revenue's heart trembled.
He had not yet had time to distribute supplies for the autumn and winter to the camp in Beijing.
Only some food was delivered in the first two days.
After all, the national treasury was not rich, and both the border areas and the coastal areas submitted memorials requesting the court to distribute winter supplies.
He has been focusing on the border and Linhai these past two days, while the people in the Ministry of Revenue have been counting cotton clothes and food for the other two armies.
He really didn't have time to take care of the Jingzhong Camp. After all, the Jingzhong Camp was not worth mentioning compared to the other two armies.
Compared with the other two generals, General Chu is the easiest to talk to and the most capable.
Could it be that something happened in the Beijing Camp during this period?
The old emperor frowned. He couldn't believe that his ministers and children would become like this just because they stayed with the soldiers for one night.
Where are they staying? They all fell ill one after another in just one night.
He could see clearly that the lump of wood must also have a high fever.
It's not that he is unkind and doesn't allow Mu Tou to go down to treat the patient, but he and Heng'er would have to appear in the Golden Palace like this without a reasonable excuse.
Even if he is the emperor, he cannot openly protect them.
The mad dog minister stood up again and kept nagging, "General Chu, deceiving the emperor deserves the death penalty. You are the commander of a faction, how could you become so sick just by staying with your subordinates for one night?
If you are so frail, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding a region of soldiers? I have never seen a general so frail and delicate."
Someone from the Third Prince's faction stood up again, "In your humble opinion, Your Majesty, please severely punish General Chu for his misconduct and deceiving Your Majesty in front of the palace."
The old emperor said in a calm voice: "Lord Chu, what do you have to say?"
Come on, make up a lie and I can save you. Leave the court early and go to the Imperial Hospital!
Shen Zhao shook his head.
Her head felt like it was about to explode, and she couldn't fall down now!
Everyone also noticed that something was wrong with her.
Lord Ji spoke first: "Your Majesty, when I was helping General Chu, I noticed he also had a high fever. I also felt that his robe was damp and his shoes were covered in mud. I believe something must have happened in the camp during last night's heavy rain."
Zheng Shi also stepped forward and said, "Everyone knows that General Chu treats the soldiers in his camp as if they were his own family. He is willing to empty his family's wealth and even sacrifice his reputation for the sake of his soldiers. I believe there must be something hidden behind this."
Du Qi'an also stood up and said, "I second the motion. Your Majesty, please investigate and clear General Chu and General Xie's name."
He had just seen it carefully. When General Xie fainted, their emperor was even more anxious than Duke Xie.
The man stood up directly from the dragon throne.
If it was just the Chu's plea, His Majesty might not pay attention. But if General Xie was included, it would be a different story.
Even if the emperor has no other feelings for General Xie, and takes Xie Yuheng with him, the Xie family will not sit idly by.
After all, this concerns the reputation of the Xie family.
Shen Zhao also endured the discomfort and slowly explained:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
