Chapter 37: Concubine Rong, you stay
Wei An lowered his head and knelt on the ground with two eunuchs. "I am guilty."
Cheng Jin waved her hands. "It's good to know that I am guilty. You should be more careful in the future. The emperor has just ascended the throne. The throne is unstable. Many people are eyeing it. This time the emperor is fine, so let it go."
Cheng Jin said, leaning against the green bamboo and turning to go to the inner room.
Wei An hurriedly called Cheng Jin, "Your Majesty, please stay."
Cheng Jin's heart tightened and she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She was acting like a play, she was so angry, how dare she call her?
Cheng Jin stopped in her tracks, wishing she could go into the room in one step.
"Your Majesty, my servant came here this time because of the emperor's arrangement."
Cheng Jin gritted her teeth.
She knew it.
But she still turned around and put on a smile.
"Really?"
"The emperor is in poor health after being poisoned, so he specially sent a servant to ask you to go and attend to him."
"Isn't it nothing? Why do you have to go and attend to him, Eunuch Wei? Tell me the truth, is the emperor in a serious condition?"
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Cheng Jin's tone became agitated again. She didn't want to listen to Wei An's reply. She fell directly into Cuizhu's arms.
She was pretending to be serious. She didn't believe that Chu Chengye wanted him to go.
Although Cuizhu knew that Cheng Jin was pretending, she didn't dare to tell the truth. She also looked panicked.
Cheng Jin pretended to be real. She looked like she had fainted. She couldn't hold on by herself, so she quickly signaled Ziying with her eyes to come over and help her.
She replied to Wei An with a little apology, "Your Highness probably worried too much about the Emperor. When she heard that the Emperor was in trouble, she was so angry that she fainted. I'm afraid she can't go to the Emperor's place now."
Wei An seemed to have expected it, and nodded, "It seems that Your Highness really loves the Emperor."
Cui Zhu smiled awkwardly.
Wei An waved his hand, and a few more people came behind him.
"Doctor Yu is waiting in the Emperor's bedroom now, and I guess he has no time to take care of Your Highness's Chunhe Palace now." "
Your Highness has suddenly fainted again, and there is no Doctor Yu to take care of you in Chunhe Palace. It's really not good. Why don't I take Your Highness to Jingyang Palace first? When Your Highness wakes up, she can see the Emperor as soon as possible, and there will be a royal doctor by her side."
Cheng Jin smiled bitterly in her heart.
[Thank you. 】
【It's rare to see someone so considerate. 】
【As expected of someone close to Cheng Yishou, they are exactly the same. 】
After hearing what Wei An said, Cuizhu and Ziying looked at each other and had to help the "fainted" Cheng Jin onto the sedan chair.
Cheng Jin couldn't pretend to be able to continue halfway.
The sedan chair was moving so fast that it almost flew up. Cheng Jin held the handrail with no hope in life.
All her internal organs were shaken out of place, and her intestines were almost tied into a bow.
【Are you in such a hurry? Why don't I get down and run with you? 】
Wei An saw that Cheng Jin had woken up first, and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, you are awake, are you feeling uncomfortable? We are almost at Jingyang Palace, it's time to let the imperial physician take a look."
Cheng Jin smiled and shook her head.
【I'm not dead, I just ran too fast. 】
After arriving at Jingyang Palace, Wei An took Cheng Jin to Chu Chengye's bed.
As Cuizhu said, there were many people kneeling outside the bedroom, but you could see from their faces that they were not so worried, but more excited.
Cheng Jin had no time to pay attention to the people outside the door, and was urged by Wei An to go in.
Chu Chengye was sitting on the bed, wearing only a bright yellow pajamas, and his hair was not tied up high, but just casually placed behind his body.
Chu Chengye really looked like he was poisoned, his lips were slightly pale, and he looked a lot weaker.
At this time, Chu Chengye didn't look as fierce as usual, but his brows were still locked, and his pair of black pupils were staring at the imperial physician who was taking his pulse in front of him. The stern and oppressive feeling of being an emperor remained unchanged.
He opened his thin lips and said, "How?"
Just two words, the doctor in front of him sweated a lot, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He trembled and couldn't speak for a long time.
Chu Chengye waved his sleeves and smashed the cups and cups at hand. Everyone in the room knelt down in an instant.
"Waste! A bunch of waste! I keep you in the palace and you eat for free?! I can't even find out what kind of poison it is!"
The white collar of the doctor who was just checking Chu Chengye's pulse was soaked with sweat, and it was afraid that his clothes were soaked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This kind of poison is unheard of and unseen. It doesn't seem to be something from the Central Plains. It seems to be a poison unique to Northern Xinjiang."
Chu Chengye snorted coldly, thinking it was just an excuse from the doctor. "Nonsense, who in this palace is not from the Central Plains? How can there be any people from Northern Xinjiang?"
Southern Qi and Northern Xinjiang have not communicated for decades, and the two countries have kept to themselves. Southern Qi has always been very strict about foreign things. How could the poison from Northern Xinjiang flow into Southern Qi, let alone into this palace ?
Hearing about Northern Xinjiang, Cheng Jin was suddenly shocked.
[Did this person from Northern Xinjiang break into the palace so quickly? 】
【I thought the palace rumors that the tyrant was poisoned were just a big surprise. Who would have thought that the tyrant was actually poisoned, and it was a unique poison in Northern Xinjiang. 】
【The death of Chu Chengye in the book is closely related to the poison in Northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, how could Chu Chengye, who had fought on the battlefield for so many years, die at the hands of the Fifth Prince Chu Huaian. 】
【The power of this poison lies in its ability to kill people without a trace. It does not show up at ordinary times, but only at night. Every night, it is as if the internal organs are shattered and the bone marrow is bitten by ants. Although it is not fatal, it makes people live a life worse than death. When the body is almost corroded, it will kill people in an hour, and no one can save them.
Chu Chengye died so quickly because he was poisoned by the northern border poison by mistake and there was no antidote. But in the book, he drank a whole cup of tea. I just heard from Wei An that Chu Chengye only drank a small sip, and when he realized something was wrong, he immediately vomited it out. But
that little bit of pain would probably be unbearable for ordinary people.
Chu Chengye listened to Cheng Jin's thoughts and clenched his fingers into fists.
Things from the Northern Frontier are rare, not to mention poison. I'm afraid someone in the palace has colluded with the people from the Northern Frontier.
Chu Chengye's breathing became heavier, and the ups and downs of his chest became larger.
It was useless to lose his temper now. Chu Chengye suppressed his anger and waved his hand to let everyone go.
The crowd in the room left the house as if they were escaping, and the knife hanging over their heads finally fell.
Some of those with poor psychological quality were still shaking when they went out, and their words to others were trembling, but Cheng Jin heard them clearly.
"Tomorrow, no, today, today, I will resign and return home. I can't stay in this palace for another day."
Cheng Jin strongly agreed. This Chu Chengye is not someone that can be served.
But Cheng Jin was so happy that he could leave right after he arrived. He took two steps back from the door and was about to leave.
"Empress Rong, you stay."
