Chapter 492 He is really going to die
Su Ying returned and Xiao Jin recovered from his illness, and the next day, the court resumed its morning court sessions.
When Su Ying woke up, the sun was already at its zenith.
Zhou Qing brought toiletries into the room and helped Su Ying wash up.
"Where are the eldest prince and his men?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the little princess went to class early in the morning."
Yesterday, Su Ying returned to the palace and Xiao Jin gave them a day off, so they had to go to class as usual today.
Su Ying yawned. They all had their own things to do, which was fine. She still had to go into the space to continue thinking about those charred corpses. If she couldn't figure out anything, she would have to take the corpses out and bury them.
After breakfast, when Su Ying went to see Lin Zhuyu and was about to return to the inner hall to enter the space, the eunuch came running and said that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had come to deliver a message saying that Prime Minister Su was dying and hoped that Su Ying could go back to see him.
Su Yulun was in charge of the Cangjiang New Dam incident before. Xiao Jin had mentioned this to her and said that all those responsible for the incident had been held accountable, but Su Yulun had not been touched yet.
Su Ying did not ask too specific questions. Su Yulun had also been in the court for many years. Although his prestige was not as great as that of the Duke of Jingguo, he still had a certain deterrent effect. If Xiao Jin got rid of the prime minister of the previous dynasty right away, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the court.
However, Su Yulun also had an unshirkable responsibility for the negligence in Xinba, so Xiao Jin asked him to reflect on his mistakes at home and return to court when he had figured it out.
However, until now, Xiao Jin has never allowed him to return to the court.
Before leaving the capital, Su Yulun's injuries had almost healed. How could he die?
Maybe he is trying to trick her into leaving the palace and doing something for him.
Su Ying was in no mood to deal with him.
"Go, find an imperial physician to go out of the palace and take a look. Unless the person is really dying, there is no need to inform me."
"yes."
After Su Ying gave the instructions, she locked the door of the inner hall and entered the space.
When she came out again, it was already noon. The two kids had finished their classes and rushed to Fengluan Palace to have lunch with her. Xiao Jin also came over from the imperial study.
Just after dinner, the imperial physician who was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion came back to report.
"Your Highness, Madam."
Su Ying drank a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and then said, "Get up. How is Prime Minister Su doing?"
The imperial physician said truthfully: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su is indeed not in good health."
Su Ying paused, and seeing that the doctor didn't look like he was lying, she asked, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, judging from Prime Minister Su's pulse, his internal organs are extremely weak. Now he can only be kept alive by ginseng. Other medicines will not have much effect."
Su Ying and Xiao Jin looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Is Su Yulun really going to die?
There was no way Su Ying would feel sorry for him. She was just curious. After all, as long as Su Yulun rested before leaving Beijing, he would be fine.
The imperial physician did not prescribe any more medicine for Su Yulun, but just asked him to drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup every day to keep him alive.
"While it's still early, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Yes."
After Xiao Jin returned to the imperial study, Su Ying rode a phoenix to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
People from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurried out after hearing the news.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Ying glanced at them indifferently and went straight to Su Yulun's yard.
After little Jiang Yuanshi left the mansion, the household expenses of the Su family were handed over to the old lady of the Su family. However, after Su Ying took away all of Jiang Yuanshi's dowry, the foundation of the Prime Minister's Mansion was almost drained.
At first glance, the Prime Minister's Mansion still looks the same, but upon closer inspection one can feel the obvious difference, it is a lot more shabby.
Su Yulun's courtyard was very deserted both inside and outside. No one knew whether it was because Su Yulun was seriously ill and needed rest or for some other reason.
When Su Ying walked into the inner room, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was accompanied by a nauseating smell.
Su Yulun lay on the bed with his eyes closed. If it weren't for Su Ying's keen senses, she would have thought he was dead.
Su Yulun had a good-looking appearance, with a square and full forehead and a clear jawline. Even though he was already middle-aged, he could still be called a handsome uncle. But now, looking at the man lying on the bed, his eye circles were dark, his face was sunken, and his exposed head looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin, which was very scary at first glance.
It's absolutely impossible to fake this.
Su Ying pulled out Su Yulun's hand to check his pulse. When she saw this, her brows furrowed.
The imperial physician was indeed telling the truth. Su Yulun's pulse showed that he was not far from death.
But why?
When she came to ask for the dam drawings before, he spoke with full of energy. Now he is going to die for no reason?
Su Ying asked everyone to go out of the house and no one was allowed to come in without her order.
Zhou Qing understood and walked outside the door to guard it.
The moment the door closed, Su Ying lifted all the quilts off Su Yulun and brought him into the space.
She wanted to know what was wrong with Su Yulun.
After entering the space, Su Ying laid the man down in front of the instrument and began to perform various examinations on him.
After the inspection items were completed, she released the people and entered the space to check the inspection results.
But the result she got surprised her.
Su Yulun had some diseases that middle-aged people have, but none of them were fatal, and no lethal viruses were found in his body. More importantly, his various organs had already shown signs of necrosis. His liver was obviously hardened, and his lungs had many nodules that needed to be surgically removed. Even the inner wall of his stomach had turned black.
Su Ying looked at Su Yulun in confusion. How could his body become like this?
After checking the results, Su Ying called the Su family's housekeeper in.
The butler bowed his head with a respectful look on his face, "I wonder what instructions the Majesty has for me to come in for?"
"Your Majesty, there have always been maids and followers serving you whom you trust." The housekeeper was telling Su Ying that the people arranged by Su Yulun had nothing to do with him.
"When did he become seriously ill? Hasn't his injury been almost healed since then?"
"Your Highness, I discovered that something was not right with the Prime Minister more than a month ago."
The housekeeper quickly looked up at Su Ying, and seeing that she looked calm, he continued, "The Prime Minister's previous injuries had almost healed, but later he accidentally fell into the water and caught a cold, and his health has not been very good since then. At that time, he asked the palace physician to see him, and the physician said that the Prime Minister had been frightened and had a cold in his bones, and that he needed to be well taken care of. Since then, the Prime Minister has not left this room and has been resting in bed, but for some reason, his health...has been getting worse and worse."
