Chapter 279 Serious
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Everyone's eyes turned to the emperor.
Those who reacted quickly saw the rash on the emperor's face, while those who reacted slowly only saw the emperor fainting.
All officials, "......!!!"
real.
I was almost scared to death.
Zhao Yuanzheng was so frightened that he almost choked to death on the two peanuts in his mouth.
He quickly stood up from his seat, fell down in a panic, and staggered to save the emperor.
The entire hall suddenly became a mess.
The Empress Dowager and Queen Song, who were sitting next to the Emperor, had pale faces.
Zhao Yuanzheng took the emperor's pulse, and then quickly asked someone to help the emperor into the inner hall. He didn't even bother to ask the empress dowager questions, and quickly asked someone to help the emperor into the inner courtyard and induce vomiting.
The Queen Mother asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Zhao Yuanzheng replied, "Just like the last time with the Princess of Jingbei, the Emperor also ate something wrong and is in critical condition..."
Zhao Yuanzheng left quickly, leaving everyone in the hall worried.
Queen Song went to see it with her, and the prince and Shen Ji also went.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu said, "You stay here, I'll go take a look."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
They were there when Shen Wan had a rash on her face last time. The Princess Consort of Prince Jingbei just had an itchy rash, so why was the Emperor so seriously ill?
The emperor cannot eat this thing. Serving inedible things in front of the emperor, I wonder how many heads the imperial kitchen will lose this time.
When Xie Jingyu went to the inner hall, the emperor had already vomited out everything he had eaten.
The rash on Shen Wan's face was much more severe than the last time, and was densely packed.
Zhao Yuanzheng wrote a prescription and said, "Hurry up and go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine..."
Zhao Yuanzheng's voice trembled.
The Emperor nearly died at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. How could he not be afraid?
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be out of breath, Shen Ji asked, "How could it be so serious if he just ate something wrong?"
Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Severe allergies can be fatal. The Princess of Jingbei accidentally ate too little last time. If she eats more, she will most likely suffer the same fate."
Queen Song was originally looking at the emperor worriedly, but when she heard this, she suddenly looked at Zhao Yuanzheng.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What can't the emperor eat?"
The prince scolded, "Yu'er!"
We can’t even ask about the emperor’s food preferences, let alone the things he can’t eat. This is like poison.
Xie Jingyu knew that he had spoken out of turn.
Shen Ji asked, "Is the emperor in serious trouble?"
Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Fortunately, he vomited in time, so his life is not in danger."
The emperor was speechless, but he gestured with his hands. Eunuch An said, "The emperor asked Zhao Yuanzheng to find out what the emperor cannot eat..."
Eunuch An has served the emperor for more than 20 years, and he really doesn't know what there is that the emperor cannot eat.
There was no poison, but it was just something that others could eat but the emperor couldn't, and it almost took the emperor's life. Eunuch An was terrified just thinking about it.
The Emperor is fine. Empress Song said, "The Empress Dowager must be worried sick. I will go and tell her."
After returning to the main hall, Queen Song looked at Shen Wan at first sight. She was fine, without a single rash on her face.
The Queen Mother asked, "How is the Emperor?"
Queen Song said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Emperor's life is no longer in danger."
...Did the emperor almost die just now?
The ministers in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
The emperor almost died, and the empress dowager was so frightened that she was no longer in the mood to celebrate his birthday.
The Empress Dowager went to see the Emperor and then returned to Shoukang Palace.
The civil and military officials and their families respectfully bid farewell to the Empress Dowager. Empress Song said, "Let's end the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet here today."
Xie Jingyu came back, and Shen Wan asked him, "Is the emperor okay?"
Xie Jingyu said, "There's no danger to his life, but the allergy is severe and it will take two or three days to recover."
On this side, Xie Jingyu took Chen Wan and the prince and princess out of the palace. On the other side, Queen Song left the main hall. Princess Shouzhen and Queen Song complained, "It's the Jingbei Prince's Consort who should have a rash and died of an allergic reaction. How come the Jingbei Prince's Consort is fine, but Father almost…"
The imperial kitchen prepared a list of things that Chen Wan could not eat and sent it to the Jingbei Palace. Princess Shouzhen asked the imperial kitchen about it, and the imperial kitchen also gave her a copy.
Chen Wu, Shen Ti and Shen Wan grew up together. They didn't know what was inedible, but they knew exactly what was edible. After a little elimination, they knew that pecans were inedible.
Princess Shouzhen was almost disfigured and had her things robbed by Shen Wan. She couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Dying from eating something she was not supposed to eat could only be considered as bad luck for the Princess Consort of the Prince of Jingbei.
She was waiting to see Shen Wan get into trouble, but in the end, Shen Wan was fine, and her father almost lost his life.
Princess Shouzhen couldn't understand why, and Empress Song also felt that such a mistake shouldn't have happened. "Send someone to investigate."
Princess Shouzhen has already sent people to investigate.
Soon, the maid returned, and Princess Shouzhen asked, "What happened?"
The palace maid whispered, "Chef Liu is dead, there's no way to ask him..."
Princess Shouzhen said angrily, "If you can't even handle a small matter, you deserve to die!"
The palace maid said, "It's not like I didn't find out anything. Chef Liu was afraid that someone would mistakenly take away the cakes prepared for the Crown Prince of Jingbei, so he placed them next to the ones prepared for the Emperor. Perhaps a palace servant brought the cakes by mistake..."
This was just the palace maid's guess. After all, pecans are not inedible. It's just that the Princess of Jingbei can't eat them. Even if they were mistakenly served to the Emperor, it should be fine.
But the symptoms that the Jingbei Prince's wife should have experienced appeared on the emperor. Could it be that the emperor can't eat pecans either...
This is too much of a coincidence.
Fortunately, the emperor had a long life, otherwise he would have died so unfairly.
Hearing the palace maid's suspicion, Queen Song's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly Shen Wan's eyes, which looked very similar to that woman, flashed through her mind...
A guess came to his mind, and his face became as cold as if covered with a layer of frost.
On the way out of the palace, Shen Wan sneezed twice, and Xie Jingyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Wan rubbed his nose, "It seems like someone scolded me..."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
But it is normal to be scolded. Her phoenix crown is enough to make people hate her.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Wan quickly took off the phoenix crown. Fortunately, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet ended early, otherwise her neck would have been terribly injured.
But thinking that this was the result of the emperor's near death, Shen Wan couldn't be happy.
The emperor treats her very well, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
More importantly, the emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince. If the emperor were to pass away suddenly, it would be very likely that Xiao Yun would succeed him.
No one knows what kind of situation awaits them.
Shen Wan looked melancholy.
Before entering the palace, she was thinking that if Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue were plotting against her, they would disrupt the empress dowager's birthday banquet. Unexpectedly, nothing happened to her and the empress dowager's birthday banquet was ruined.
On the way back to the palace, Shen Wan asked curiously, "What can't the emperor eat?"
Xie Jingyu said, "My father forbade me to ask."
...It seems that this is indeed something that cannot be inquired about.
But the prince couldn't stop Xie Jingyu from wanting to know.
Xie Jingyu was already a little suspicious. The emperor and Shen Wan both had the same rash, but Shen Wan's rash was much more severe. The empress dowager also insisted that Shen Wan come to the palace to celebrate her birthday...
Xie Jingyu had some vague guesses in his heart.
The next morning, Xie Jingyu was reading in his study when Chen Ping jumped in through the window and said, "Master, I've found out that the thing the emperor can't eat is also pecans..."
Xie Jingyu stood up directly, "Are you sure?"
Chen Ping didn't expect Xie Jingyu to react so strongly, and nodded.
Xie Jingyu sat down slowly.
For a while.
He stood up again.
"Prepare the horses and go to Duke Dingguo's mansion."
