Chapter 3470 Extra Prince 9
"Furthermore," she paused, "Your Majesty's health only deteriorated rapidly after taking the poison pill two years ago, not five years ago. Now some people are blaming the Crown Prince for both what happened five years ago and the matter of the Indian monk's immortality pill. This clearly has ulterior motives."
"Perhaps someone is seeking revenge against Lord Gu, but clearly a larger force is trying to take advantage of the situation," Zhou Man said with a hint of discontent. "His Majesty is seriously ill, and the officials in the court are demoralized. They are either waiting and watching for their own future interests, or they are trying to determine the Crown Prince's abilities. In short, they are all watching with cold eyes."
"But Your Majesty is different from them," Zhou Man said. "Officials may look on with indifference and look at Your Highness with the eyes of a discerning monarch, but Your Majesty, you are His Highness's mother."
The Queen lowered her eyes, clenched her fists, and after a long moment, she said, "Leave the letter here. I'll have someone deliver it to you. If Eunuch Tong is willing to come into the palace and help him investigate, I'll give him a chance."
Zhou Man breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stood up, bowed deeply to her, left the letter and left.
The letter was written to Bai Shan, and she asked him to go to the imperial farm to invite Tong Nei Shi and his son.
The Queen didn't read the letter. She just glanced at the envelope and handed it to the head maid, saying, "Send it to Bai Shan at the Princess's Mansion."
"Yes." Seeing the Queen frowning slightly, the head maid whispered to comfort her, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. You know the Crown Prince's character. He is not someone who would harm Your Majesty."
"Of course I trust him, but if he can't even handle this, how will he govern the entire Great Jin in the future?" The Queen sighed. "His Majesty is merely unconscious now, and the officials in the court are just watching with indifference. When he ascends the throne, the conflict between the old and the new will only intensify."
The head maid was also somewhat dissatisfied and puzzled, "Why didn't the uncle of the king speak up for His Highness?"
The Queen lowered her eyes and said, "He naturally has his considerations."
So everyone has his own purpose, and who can really stand next to the emperor and the prince and think about this matter?
Everything will be clear once this is over.
The prince was also waiting. After a night, almost all the ghosts and gods had appeared. He was afraid that the commotion would be even more violent today. He wanted to see who was involved.
He may not be able to handle it now, but he writes them down one by one in a small notebook and will settle them all when he has the chance in the future.
The prince, who was locked in the side hall, thought irritably.
I don’t know what happened to his father. Why is there no movement in the main hall?
Zhou Man returned to the main hall and washed up first, then sat at the table with Xiao Yuanzheng to eat. Seeing the attendant about to leave after handing over his shift, she called out to him, who was walking out like a zombie, "Let's have breakfast together before we leave?"
The attendant paused, shook his head and was about to leave. As an attendant, he could not have close contact with foreign officials.
Zhou Man looked at his face and said, "You'd better eat something, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be carried to the Imperial Hospital before you even leave the Taiji Hall."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanzheng also looked up at the other person and gave him the same advice: "Your face is pale and your lips are colorless. It's obvious that your heart and spleen are both weak. It's too late now. If you don't eat breakfast, you will really faint soon."
Zhou Man generously shared most of the porridge in the bowl with him and advised: "Eat the porridge. It will quickly turn into blood sugar after entering the stomach."
His colleagues also advised him, "Eat before you go. His Majesty is seriously ill now, and the record keepers can't leave the palace. If you go out, you can only go back to the dormitory and lie down."
He then sat down, took the bowl and drank. After half a bowl of porridge, he didn't feel any better, but his stomach did feel better. Most importantly, his heart was not so panicked. He thanked Zhou Man, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
"You're welcome," Zhou Man looked at his expression, eager to try, "How about I take your pulse and write a prescription for you?"
The attendant politely declined, "I live in the palace now, so it's not convenient for me to take medicine."
"It's okay. We have pills in the Imperial Hospital," Zhou Man said. "There are many ready-made medicines now. Your illness is neither serious nor mild. It mainly depends on nursing."
She said, "In addition to the patent medicine, I will give you some medicinal food recipes. I tell you, eating more meat and drinking more meat broth is very effective."
Attendant: ...He was a little flustered by Lord Zhou's sudden enthusiasm.
Adhering to the principle of talking less and working more, he took a steamed bun and started eating. He just nodded to Zhou Man and planned to leave after a quick finish.
Zhou Man refused to let him go, and refused to eat the porridge in his bowl. He just sat there and talked to him, "You guys are also very tired, taking turns to go back and forth, twelve hours a day. Apart from that, you all have to stay by His Majesty's side and watch over him."
Seeing her curious look, the attendant was a little crazy, "What about that? Sir Zhou, don't talk nonsense. We attendants also have rules. Even if it's that, we are guarding outside."
Xiao Yuanzheng almost spit out the porridge.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Man sat closer to the attendant and asked curiously, "Do you remember all this?"
The attendant said calmly, "Of course, this is your Majesty's daily routine."
Zhou Man touched his chin and said, "Then, apart from the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital, the most comprehensive record of what happened in the past five years is your daily records."
The attendant frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is already a big taboo to check the daily records. Do you still want to see it?"
Generally speaking, unless the emperor becomes the previous emperor, his daily records will be sealed once they are recorded, and no one can read them except historians.
The compilation of history books would have to wait until the new emperor ascended the throne.
A new emperor has new ministers, and historians can comment on the previous emperor, ministers, concubines... all people and events that have an impact on the country and the king as fairly as possible.
Zhou Man said, "Oh, of course I know this rule. I just made it up myself. I was just asking out of curiosity."
The attendant finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ate the steamed bun in his hand, not caring whether he was full or not. He stood up and said, "I'm done. Thank you, Dean Xiao and Lord Zhou."
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and nodded, "Mr. Fang is very polite."
Zhou Man said, "I'll write a prescription and have someone send it to you later. You should eat something when you get back. Don't faint while sleeping."
The attendant responded and fled in panic.
Zhou Man shook his head and complained to Xiao Yuanzheng, "I was just asking out of curiosity. Am I the kind of person who would break the rules?"
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded.
Zhou Man shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the palace maid waiting beside him.
She was stunned for a moment, and then slowly retreated.
Zhou Man smiled in her heart. She recognized her. She was the Queen's woman.
Although the daily records cannot be read according to the rules, it does not mean that the recorder cannot ask questions.
Zhou Man chuckled. The Queen was certainly not someone who would break the rules, and neither was she.
