Chapter 384 Starve Him to Death
Xiao Lingyu stared at him expressionlessly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Ling Zizhong was furious and said, "Instead of waiting for that dog emperor to take action, I might as well clean up the family first!"
The guards around Xiao Lingyu were all carefully selected by him over the years. Although they were a little stupid, Xiao Lingyu was not worried about betrayal.
He looked at the uncle who suddenly appeared in front of him, and after a while, he closed his eyes and sighed.
The guard understood, raised his hand and knocked Ling Zizhong unconscious.
"Lock him up first."
...
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, but according to the ministers who had discussed the Mobei battlefield with Xiao Siyuan, this sentence has nothing to do with Xiao Siyuan.
They are all the emperor's most trusted ministers, so naturally they know more or less what the emperor means.
The emperor also intends to let Xiao Siyuan continue to lead the troops.
After understanding this meaning, the ministers were a little devastated.
Even if you want to support a prince again, you have to find someone with a little bit of brains.
No matter what tactics they use, Xiao Siyuan will try his best to get in!
That is to say, when using the empty city plan again, Xiao Siyuan will hesitate to try it out, but then he will repeat the process of getting in again!
Is it a brain-burning knowledge?
What if it doesn't make any progress at all?
They were anxious, and Xiao Siyuan was anxious too.
He was thinking about Concubine Duan on the one hand. He
was thinking about Concubine Duan pretending to be crazy and stupid in the palace. What if something went wrong and she was exposed and was discovered by her father?
On the other hand, he was thinking about Xiao Qingwu.
What if her fake pregnancy was discovered?
Yes, Xiao Qingwu was faking pregnancy.
He was worried that the Third Assistant Minister would hear those rumors about what Jiang Sulan said in front of Xu's house that day and would be angry with Xiao Qingwu, so he hurried to her house to teach her how to deal with it.
But the truth will come out eventually. This pregnancy is not like other things that can be kept secret forever. When the time comes, it can't be hidden anymore.
Xiao Siyuan kept thinking about these things in his mind, so he naturally didn't listen to the ministers. When they asked, he just spoke out according to his intuition.
At the residence of the Minister of War, Xiao Qingwu was also worried about this.
After once again dealing with the Third Assistant Minister's request to invite a doctor from the palace to look after her, Xiao Qingwu smashed all the teacups on the table after the Third Assistant Minister left.
The crackling sound attracted the attendants outside the courtyard to look over frequently.
The maid stepped forward tremblingly: "Princess, there are other people watching. If the Third Assistant Minister gets suspicious, it will be bad."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingwu suppressed her anger.
"How can I invite a doctor? I don't have any doctor I know well. Even if I do, he may not keep it secret for me."
In fact, there is another possibility, that she can't invite a doctor at all.
The princess who lost the emperor's favor could be imagined in the eyes of the people in the palace, not to mention that she had relied on the emperor and the empress dowager's favor before, and was arrogant and domineering, and beat and scolded the palace people at will.
Now that she has lost her power, who would be kind to her?
She never mentioned this possibility, not because she didn't know, but because she was afraid.
If this was the case, she could still pretend to be a favored princess and couldn't invite the imperial physician, but she was afraid that the fake pregnancy would be exposed.
The maid sighed lightly, guessing what was in her mind, and carefully coaxed her, "Princess, it's not a solution to keep refusing. What if the prince consort really goes to ask the emperor for help, and when the imperial physician comes, won't he..."
"How can he have the mind to ask the imperial physician for me? All day long he is either drinking or..."
Xiao Qingwu said halfway, his face turning pale and blue, and finally he waved his hand in frustration, "Stop, continue."
The maid continued, "Since the prince consort wants an imperial physician, we will give him one."
Born in the palace, no matter how dumb Xiao Qingwu was, he had seen some tricks and immediately understood what the maid meant.
"You mean, find someone to pretend to be the imperial physician?"
"That's right. After all, there is more than one imperial physician, and no one in the mansion has ever seen an imperial physician. As long as you, Princess, say he is the imperial physician, then he is the imperial physician."
Xiao Qingwu's eyebrows were twitching wildly. Although this matter was risky, it was indeed the most direct method.
After a long time, Xiao Qingwu slowly spoke: "Just do as you say."
...
After teasing Ji Tong that day, Jiang Zhiyu seemed to have found a new hobby.
After breakfast the next day, she ran straight out of the mansion.
Ji Tong was having a meal. When he saw her, it was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. A mouthful of rice was stuck in his throat and he almost choked to death.
Jiang Zhiyu was more nervous than him: "Are you okay? Are you okay? Why are you so careless?"
Ji Tong: "..."
Who is that because of!
"Even eating can make him choke, look at you, and you still say you are not stupid." Jiang Zhiyu sighed in a pretentious manner, and waved for a servant: "He can't use these for a few days, just give him some liquid food, just white porridge, it's easy to digest and won't make him choke."
Ji Tong: "!!!"
He watched the fish, chicken, and various delicious dishes in front of him being taken away, and then a bowl of white porridge was placed in front of him.
There was not even a leaf on it.
Ji Tong gritted his teeth, and the servant beside him asked: "Doctor Jiang, do you only eat white porridge for three meals a day?"
Ji Tong: "..."
It's better to change the question, just ask him directly if he wants to starve me to death!
Ji Tong heard Jiang Zhiyu hesitate for a moment and said: "Send a few steamed buns for lunch."
Ji Tong sneered in his heart.
Good, good, very good!
"Brother Ji, you won't be dissatisfied with my arrangement, right?"
Ji Tong: "..."
This tone sounded familiar.
Jiang Zhiyu stared with a pair of big watery eyes, clear and bright.
"This is food therapy. Brother Ji has a hoarse throat and can't eat these greasy and fishy foods. It's not easy to recover."
"Brother Ji won't blame me."
Ji Tong: "..."
It's getting more and more familiar. Also, why does she call herself after every sentence?
And more importantly, why does she always emphasize her last name!
"Sister is considering your health. How can I blame you? I can't thank you enough."
Although he said words of thanks, Ji Tong's smile was full of malice.
"Add your last name."
Jiang Zhiyu suddenly said coldly.
Ji Tong: "???"
"If you want to be my brother, you have to use your last name, otherwise I don't know who to call you when I have so many brothers."
Ji Tong felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but it seemed that there was really something wrong with his brain. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He
could only respond tentatively.
Almost at the moment when he responded, a cold voice came from outside, mixed with a little anger: "You want to be Zhiyu's brother?"
Ji Tong looked up and saw Jiang Wenjing walking over angrily, and pulled Jiang Zhiyu behind him.
