Chapter 222 His Majesty feigns illness
About half an hour later, Doctor Zhang arrived.
Doctor Zhang went into the side room and examined Emperor Showa for half an hour.
Before leaving, Emperor Showa said: "Remember tomorrow and do as I say."
Doctor Zhang said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The next day, Emperor Showa claimed to be ill and did not attend court.
The affairs of the court were handled with the assistance of the prime minister and the chief minister.
After the morning court session, Huo Xingzhi, Prince Rui, Prince Qin, and Prince Qi all went to the Yangxin Palace to pay their respects to Emperor He.
The King of Qi and the King of Qin followed Huo Xingzhi and the King of Rui. When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they found the door was closed.
When Wang Dequan saw several people coming, he hurried forward to stop them.
"Your Highnesses, His Majesty is seriously ill and the imperial physician is treating him."
Huo Xingzhi said, "Do you know what disease my father is suffering from?"
Eunuch Wang sighed and said, "This can only be diagnosed by the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital."
"Let me go in and see my father."
"Let me report first." Wang Dequan said and walked towards the bedroom.
After a while, he came out.
"Your Highnesses, please come in."
After Huo Xingzhi and a few others entered the bedroom, they saw Doctor Zhang sitting on the edge of the bed, treating Emperor Zhaohe.
Emperor Showa lay dying on the couch, looking at the princes who came in.
The King of Qi looked at Doctor Zhang and asked coldly, "What's wrong with your father? He was fine the day before yesterday, why is he like this today?"
Doctor Zhang's face was embarrassment when he heard Emperor Zhaohe say faintly from the bedside, "I'm afraid I won't live long. Go... go call Princess Li into the palace."
"This Princess Li is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Feng Wu. She will definitely be able to cure me."
"Father." Huo Xingzhi stepped forward and said, "I will go back and fetch Heng'er."
Emperor Zhao nodded: "Go."
Huo Xingzhi left the palace and went directly to Prince Li's Mansion.
In Prince Li's mansion, Su Yuheng was leaning against the window, reading a medical book.
After a while, Huo Xingzhi came hurriedly.
"Heng'er, the emperor wants to see you. Please come with me to the palace."
Su Yuheng was a little surprised: "Is His Majesty sick?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "He was not feeling well today and did not go to court."
Why did you suddenly feel unwell?
Su Yuheng was a little curious.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace with the prince."
After Su Yuheng followed Huo Xingzhi into the Yangxin Palace, several princes were kneeling in front of the palace.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to your father."
She bowed to Emperor Showa, who said weakly, "Get up."
Su Yuheng: "Thank you, Father."
After Su Yuheng got up, he walked straight to the edge of Emperor Showa's bed, but met the gaze of Imperial Physician Zhang.
Doctor Zhang looked extremely unhappy.
Su Yuheng was a little puzzled and reached out to feel Emperor Zhaohe's pulse.
A stringy and rapid pulse is a sign of liver qi rising and hyperactivity of liver fire.
I think it's just because of the excessive liver fire, and there is nothing abnormal with the body.
But in the current situation, Emperor Showa did not go to court, so it can only be said that it is very likely that he was pretending.
He is playing a trick on you.
As Su Yuheng was thinking, he saw Emperor Showa looking at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
She was a little dazed, and before she could react, a note was stuffed into her hand.
She picked up the note, gently put it into her sleeve, turned around and got up from the edge of the bed.
"What happened?" King Qi asked anxiously.
Su Yuheng said, "My diagnosis is the same as Doctor Zhang's. Your Majesty's pulse is weak, his yang is deficient, and his qi is stagnant. I'm afraid he won't recover soon and needs further treatment."
"Doctor Zhang." Su Yuheng looked at Doctor Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang bowed and said, "Princess Li, please speak."
Su Yuheng said, "His Majesty is seriously ill now. I'm afraid you, the Imperial Hospital, will need their assistance in treating him."
Doctor Zhang said, "Yes, I know."
"As for this prescription." Su Yuheng said, picking up the pen and writing down the prescription.
"Follow this prescription." He stuffed the prescription into Doctor Zhang's hand.
Doctor Zhang glanced at the prescription and said, "This prescription is fine. I will go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine for Your Majesty."
After Imperial Physician Zhang finished speaking, he turned and left the Yangxin Palace.
He picked up the prescription and glanced at it.
He then opened another piece of paper underneath the prescription, on which were written a few lines of small words in fine ink.
Those small words are hard to see from a distance, but you can see them clearly when you get close.
When looking at the two lines of small words above, Doctor Zhang frowned and instantly knew what was going on.
There are people from the Prince of Qi and a traitor in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Emperor Showa claimed to be ill today in order to take the opportunity to find the traitor and to let people relax their vigilance.
After Su Yuheng finished treating Emperor Showa, Emperor Showa spoke.
"I want to have a good rest, you guys go down first."
Several princes stood up, "Yes, Father!"
After they left the Yangxin Palace, Huo Xingzhi took Su Yuheng out of the palace gate and went straight to the carriage.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Su Yuheng opened the note that Emperor Showa had given her.
Several large characters appeared on the note.
'Take the blood of the King of Qi.'
Su Yuheng: "It seems that His Majesty still wants to verify whether the Prince of Qi is his biological son."
Huo Xingzhi said: "It's understandable that he wants to verify it."
Su Yuheng said: "Now, we can only let Yu Wushuang and Zi Xuan find a way to get the blood of King Qi."
Huo Xingzhi said: "I will assist them both in this matter."
"Heng'er, how is father's condition? I want to hear the truth."
Su Yuheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty is simply angry. I think he is very upset about what happened between the Prince of Qi and Duke Gao."
"However, someone did poison His Majesty, and His Majesty knew about it, so he pretended to be sick in order to lure out the person behind it."
Huo Xingzhi: "I guessed it too."
"How did Heng'er know?"
Su Yuheng: "I smelled it. The moment I entered the Yangxin Palace, I could smell the scent of medicine. Your Majesty's medicine contained a deadly poison."
"Your Majesty is a wise man."
The carriage arrived at Prince Li's Mansion.
After Huo Xingzhi watched Su Yuheng enter Prince Li's Mansion, he turned his horse and headed directly towards Fanlou.
When they were not far from Fanlou, Huo Xingzhi got off the carriage and went to the attic opposite Fanlou.
Bai Ze: "Your Majesty, can you see this side?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Of course I can. Just wait."
"After King Qi leaves, take out my bow and arrows. Remember to coat them with poison."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the two reached the third floor of the attic, they saw that the wing room of Fanlou opposite had been opened.
Huo Xingzhi frowned and looked over, and it was none other than the King of Qi.
After a while, Prince Ming also came in from outside the door.
"Prince Ming and Prince Qi?"
"Could it be that the two of them have formed an alliance?"
Huo Xingzhi: "The secret guards have reported that the two have indeed been active in the past few days."
"There are now thousands of refugees in Yanjing. I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
Huo Xingzhi said quietly, "I'm afraid there's a big battle going on in Yanjing City."
"Tonight, we must first obtain the blood of the King of Qi."
"Have you arranged the people?"
Bai Ze said: "I've asked Yu Wushuang to arrange it."
