After wiping Jiang Zhiyu's body as usual, Jiang Sulan stopped crying and made a secret decision in her heart as she looked at the sleeping Jiang Zhiyu.
When the eldest brother left, he didn't know that Zhiyu's condition would worsen. If Zhiyu continues like this, she will go and ask the imperial physician the next day!
…
It is autumn now and the weather is getting cooler. It gets dark early and becomes even colder at night.
The cold autumn wind rushed into the hall, causing the candlelight to sway, and the emperor coughed a few times.
Fu Ping flicked his whisk and said, "How do you do your job? Can't you see that His Majesty has caught a cold? Hurry up and close all the windows!"
As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea. The emperor did not take it, but just drank a few sips from his hand.
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, you should rest."
"Ahem, it's only what time now. Have you found out everything about Xing Maozhi?" the emperor asked, straightening his cloak.
"We're still investigating," Fu Ping said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Privy Councilor Jiang and Imperial Censor Jiang are very capable and will definitely turn this crisis into auspicious."
The emperor sighed softly, "I hope so. How is the young fish doing now?"
"Still sleeping, but..."
Seeing his hesitant expression, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
Fu Ping swallowed his saliva before continuing, "However, the people sent to question him recently have not been able to see Censor Jiang. It was all Miss Jiang who relayed the information verbally. Moreover, even Grand Tutor Xu seems to be nowhere to be seen."
Can’t even see Xu Yanli?
The emperor pursed his lips slightly. At this moment, a young eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang wishes to see you."
The emperor nodded slightly, and the eunuch turned and left. Within a few breaths, Jiang Sulan came in with an anxious look on her face, and Bai Yan followed her.
After quickly completing the ceremony, Jiang Sulan stated the purpose of her visit: "Please, Your Majesty, send the imperial physician to see Zhiyu."
Bai Yan arrived in Shengjing near dusk. After entering the mansion and explaining the situation to Jiang Sulan outside the door, Jiang Sulan walked out of the door without saying a word and pulled him to the palace.
This scene just happened.
"How is Zhiyu doing now?" the emperor suddenly stood up and asked, ordering Fuping, "Go, have the Imperial Hospital staff go to Xu's house quickly! And prepare a carriage for me."
"Yes," Fuping ran away quickly.
Jiang Sulan let out a long sigh, "A few days ago, the young fish suddenly turned purple and looked horrible. Recently, his pulse has weakened and he has also been feeling cold."
Just by listening to her description, the emperor's palms were covered in cold sweat.
"What happened? Is it caused by that secret technique?"
"Your Majesty, that's not the case," Bai Yan replied in a deep voice, "That secret technique will only make people sink into a dream, and it will never lead to such a situation."
The emperor lowered his eyelashes. "Only one secret technique? What if she uses two or more at the same time?"
Bai Yan was speechless.
He was raised and educated by the high priest at all times, but he knew very little about the esoteric arts.
"No," Jiang Sulan suddenly said, "Brother was watching her the whole time that day. She only used one secret technique."
There is only one...
The hall fell into silence. The carriage and the imperial physician were ready, and the three of them set off quickly.
…
Such a huge event naturally could not be concealed, and officials were all speculating for a while.
The person who could dispatch so many imperial doctors, and even the emperor himself, must be either Xu Yanli or Jiang Zhiyu.
But if something happens to Xu Yanli, and even Jiang Zhiyu's medical skills can't save him, then what use will the imperial doctors be?
Therefore, the one who got into trouble must be Jiang Zhiyu.
In the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao Mingye finally got some firsthand information.
"Are you saying that the emperor took the imperial physician to the Xu residence?" Xiao Mingye was at a loss: "Did they find the priest?"
They all glanced at him angrily and nodded, "When I went to investigate, I also saw Ah Fu, one of Jiang Kang'an's men. Judging from the situation, the person who took away the Nan Gu Priest is also a friend, not an enemy. He should also be investigating what happened to Jiang Zhiyu."
After the words fell, Du Chen said again: "It has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."
He knew what Xiao Mingye was thinking just by looking at his expression. After all, it was he who brought the priest to Xu Mansion. If something really happened to Jiang Zhiyu, he would definitely feel very guilty.
However, thinking of what he had heard Jiang Zhiyu say before, he remembered that she had mentioned whether it would come out early or late, which meant that she had anticipated the result of this sleep a long time ago.
"I want to go and take a look," Xiao Mingye strode out quickly, "I won't be able to rest assured unless I see with my own eyes what her current condition is."
Du Chen hurried to catch up with him, reminding him, "Before you go, take the priest with you. Maybe he can help you."
…
"The emperor and the imperial physician have both gone?"
"Yes, judging by the scene, it seems that all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have been brought along by the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai could no longer sit still.
"How did it suddenly come to this? What about Xing Maozhi? Has the interrogation yielded any results?"
The subordinate shook his head.
Su Bai sighed softly, but the current situation did not allow him to wait any longer. He put on his shoes and said, "Quick, take the priest to Xu's house!"
The subordinate hurriedly tried to stop him: "Master, the mask!"
Su Bai paused.
When he went out wearing the mask and opened the door, he saw Xiao Mingye and Du Chen waiting outside.
"We should be on the same side. Let me make it short. I want to make use of the woman you took away."
This was really a coincidence. With Xiao Mingye here, he didn't even need to find an excuse.
"Yes, but I have one request. You must take me with you. If anyone asks, just say I'm an old acquaintance of yours."
Xiao Mingye looked at him suspiciously, but he had already said that this person was a friend, not an enemy, so Xiao Mingye suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a rough voice: "Only you."
"Of course," Su Bai replied, turning to his subordinates beside him and saying, "Go and bring the person over."
The subordinate left in response. Su Bai looked at Xiao Mingye and said, "I am Su Jibai. I want to ask Your Highness something. Please don't blame me."
"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Mingye's eagle-like eyes squinted at him. Su Bai let him study him and asked, "Why did Your Highness hide the Southern Gu Priest in your mansion?"
Xiao Mingye: "...I didn't hide it. Although it might sound like I'm shirking responsibility when I say it now, it was she who asked to come, and Jiang Zhiyu agreed."
"As for keeping her in my house, it was because the situation was urgent that day and we split up into two groups. I couldn't let Wen Jing and Zhiyu bring her into the palace."
If that's the case, then the coercion is false, but Zhiyu's desire to use her abilities is true.
So Jiang Zhiyu actually anticipated the consequences of his current sleep?
The subordinates quickly brought people over, and on the way to Xu's house, Su Bai also roughly understood the situation.
Inside Xu's house, the emperor looked at Jiang Zhiyu lying on the bed, and his upright body trembled for a moment.
How, how did it become like this?!
