Chapter 1544 False Alarm
Xiao Yuanzheng immediately turned around to get several bottles of medicine, and then hurried away with the eunuch. It was still dark at this time, but the palace had already started to operate.
He knew that the emperor would soon get up to eat breakfast and prepare for the morning court. Obviously, the emperor was found to have a fever in the early morning, and it was not known whether he had just had a fever or had been having a fever for some time.
"In whose palace is your Majesty resting?"
The eunuch whispered, "In the Central Palace."
Xiao Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace.
The group trotted onto the boat, and after arriving at the Daming Palace, they trotted to the sleeping palace behind the main hall.
In this era, no matter what the cause of fever is, fever is a big deal anyway. Therefore, it not only alarmed the empress dowager who lived in another palace, but also Lord Tang who was on duty in the front.
Xiao Yuanzheng hurried to examine the emperor.
The emperor just had a fever, not unconscious. He was sitting on the bed very awake at this moment. Seeing Xiao Yuanzheng coming, his face turned dark.
He seemed to be in good spirits. While wiping his nose, he said, "It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after taking two doses of medicine. Why did you bother bringing so many people here?"
Xiao Yuanzheng was the one the Queen had sent for. She said, "Since we're here, let Xiao Yuanzheng take a look."
The emperor could only reach out to feel Xiao Yuanzheng's pulse.
Xiao Yuanzheng felt the emperor's pulse and then his temperature. Although he felt hot, it was not a high fever, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He could tell at a glance that the emperor had caught a cold.
So he said, "Your Majesty has caught a cold. I will prescribe a prescription for you to try first."
Xiao Yuanzheng discussed with the two imperial physicians and wrote a prescription. As he was writing, he felt something was not right. Didn't Zhou Man examine the emperor yesterday? His pulse did not look serious. Logically, after two doses of medicine and acupuncture, the coldness in the body should be gone.
His hand paused as he was writing the prescription, and he couldn't help but ask Gu Zhong, "Your Majesty, did you eat too much iced melon yesterday? Or did you kick off the quilt at night?"
Even though it's so hot here during the day, it's still a little cool at night, especially since it's close to the mountains. When the wind blows at night, it brings some chill.
So you still need to cover yourself with a blanket at night.
Otherwise, the emperor and his entourage would not have lived here to escape the summer heat. Compared to the palace city, Daming Palace is actually cooler.
Gu Zhong didn't know whether the emperor kicked off the quilt at night, but he knew, "Your Majesty did not take the medicine prescribed by Master Zhou."
Xiao Yuanzheng: ...
Gu Zhong explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't feel uncomfortable. He didn't have a runny nose or a fever yesterday. The medicine was bitter, so..."
Xiao Yuanzheng stopped talking and began to pull his two colleagues to continue writing prescriptions.
They worked out a prescription and then went to get the herbs and boil them.
Old Master Tang was waiting in the side room. He was a little drowsy because he had been awakened in the early morning. When he heard the noise, he woke up immediately and asked, "What's going on? Is it serious?"
Gu Zhonglai replied, "Director Xiao has already prescribed some medicine, so it shouldn't be a serious matter."
After all, the emperor had no other symptoms except fever and runny nose. He was not dizzy or tired, and he was even thinking about eating breakfast.
When Old Master Tang heard that the emperor was in such good spirits, he said, "Then send someone to the East Palace to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Zhong agreed and sent someone out.
The emperor was ill, so the prince had to come to attend to him. When the prince arrived, he also had to notify Prince Gong who was still locked up in the room for reflection.
In fact, Prince Gong was closer to them and was also in the Daming Palace, but he lived in a half-built palace at the back.
He is still reflecting on his mistakes and copying scriptures. Originally, the emperor and empress moved to the Daming Palace to escape the summer heat, and the court officials were against taking him with them.
But the emperor felt that the palace was too hot, and Prince Gong was fat. It would be too pitiful to leave him there alone. What if he got heatstroke?
So he had to take him with him. Of course, the reason was very legitimate. He wanted to personally watch Prince Gong repent until he sincerely copied scriptures and admitted his mistakes every day.
The Queen also wanted to take him, and the Prince had no objection.
He felt that if he didn't let his parents take the third child over, and locked him up in Taiji Palace to reflect on his mistakes, his father would be worried about all kinds of things and would definitely send him ice basins and various other things.
Isn't this a waste of money?
It would be better to take people to the Daming Palace. There is a half-built palace there. Although it looks relatively clean, the things inside are definitely not as complete as those in the Taiji Palace. There is no other benefit in stuffing people in there except that it will be a little cooler.
Well, I heard there are a lot of mosquitoes in Daming Palace, especially the half of the palace where the third brother lives. It’s close to the mountain, and at night, mosquitoes see lights as if they see anything, hahahaha…
The Crown Prince was not worried at all about Prince Gong being close to the Emperor and Empress, because his wife and the son in her belly were also there, and most importantly, the Empress was there.
However, no matter how relieved he was, when the prince heard that his father had a fever, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, rushing to the Daming Palace without even putting on his shoes.
On the way, he asked the eunuch to know what was happening with his father.
How dare the eunuch say these things?
He only said that he was not serving in the palace, but Dean Xiao and the two imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were there, as was Lord Tang.
The Crown Prince then asked, "Did Dean Xiao call in the other doctors from the Imperial Hospital? Did Lord Tang ask Duke Zhao and Lord Wei to come into the palace?"
The eunuch whispered, "I haven't heard of it."
That means there was no shouting.
The prince felt relieved at once, thinking that his father was fine.
The prince also didn't want anything to happen to the emperor at this moment. He didn't have a son yet, so he had to wait until the princess gave birth to the child safely.
Moreover, when the gate hanging over his head was removed, the prince felt filial and began to worry about his father.
The prince arrived at the Daming Palace with some worry, but when he arrived at the main hall, he saw the emperor and the empress sitting together having breakfast.
The emperor had finished a bowl of noodles and was now chewing on a bun. Seeing the prince's messy hair, he pointed to a eunuch and said, "Tidy up the prince. What's wrong with your hair being so disheveled?"
The prince took a look at his father's face and found that it was even rosier than his, and he couldn't see any problem at all, so he turned around and went to clean up.
A family of three, no, including Prince Gong, Mingda and Changyu who arrived later, a total of six people in the family had breakfast together.
Then Prince Gong would need to go back and reflect on his mistakes, while the emperor would take the crown prince to handle government affairs.
Although he was sick, his symptoms did not seem to be very serious. The emperor did not feel dizzy or tired. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him except a little discomfort in his throat and a little bit of runny nose.
Therefore, it was not a good idea to skip work, so he had to continue attending court.
However, by now the news of the emperor's poor health had spread, and all the ministers who should know knew about it.
