When Liu Tan woke up, he heard Chen Ajiao threatening the emperor: "Liu Che, if anything happens to Tan'er, I will never forgive you!"
Liu Tan shuddered after hearing this, wondering, "Wasn't Chen Ajiao grounded? Why was she here?"
Aunt, please put away your magical powers. I’m afraid that Emperor Liu Che will depose the queen on the spot!
A lot of thoughts flashed through Liu Tan's mind, but his body was out of control. His eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them.
However, in the face of Chen Ajiao's threat, Liu Che seemed to have no reaction, and Liu Tan didn't even hear him speak.
After a long while, Liu Tan finally heard him ask, "How is it?"
Immediately, an old voice said, "Your Highness, although he is a little weak, he will be fine with careful care and should have woken up long ago. But he is still not awake... I'm afraid we need to call a witch to pray for him."
When Liu Che heard the word "Wu", his ears jumped, but this "Wu" referred to a witch doctor. Thinking that Liu Tan would jump around and suddenly lose consciousness, Liu Che acquiesced to this proposal.
So Liu Tan once again felt the feeling of the witch doctor dancing beside the bed, no, the feeling of doing shamanism.
At this time, he had regained control of his body, and he should be able to open his eyes after trying just now.
However, he thought about the dangerousness of the medical profession these days, and felt it was not good to disrespect other people's work process, so he simply waited for a while. After the witch doctor finished the whole process breathlessly, Liu Tan choked and coughed and woke up - this was not an act. The witch doctor not only performed a ritual but also prayed. He lit a lot of incense when praying, and the smell almost suffocated Liu Tan.
As soon as he spoke, Miao Rui's voice, almost crying with joy, was heard: "He's awake, His Highness is awake."
At that moment, Liu Tan vaguely thought that he was in the delivery room, and Miao Rui should have said that he had given birth.
Liu Tan was shocked by his divergent thoughts and tried hard to sit up. However, before he could really stand up, he saw Chen Ajiao, dressed in bright red, rushing over. She sat down beside his bed, pressed his shoulders and pushed him down again.
"You're not well yet, so take a good rest first. You don't need to get up."
Liu Tan also felt that his body seemed a little weak, otherwise how could he be pushed back by Chen Ajiao with one hand?
At this time, Liu Che also walked in with his hands behind his back, his face and eyes full of concern: "How do you feel now, Tan'er?"
Liu Tan looked at them both in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
In fact, he knew very well what was wrong with him. After all, it was an old problem. Whenever he went out with his teacher to work on a project or travel, he would always waste two days when he came back.
I just didn't expect that even after changing my body, this problem would come with me.
Chen Ajiao couldn't help but tear up when she heard this. She said, "What else could it be? They cursed you, didn't they? But don't worry, Tan'er. Mother has already sent someone to find a solution. She will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Liu Tan was filled with questions after hearing this: "Ah? Cursing me? Who cursed me?"
At this time, Liu Che also sighed and said, "Jiang Chong has already told me that Li Guangli has committed such an immoral act. Why did you conceal it for him? Could it be that I would not distinguish right from wrong?"
Liu Tan always felt that what both Chen Ajiao and Liu Che said was a little strange. How long had he been unconscious?
He asked in confusion, "Li Guangli? What did Jiang Chong say?"
Liu Che said, "He said everything."
Liu Tan almost vomited blood again. What’s the difference between this and not answering?
Liu Tan's gaze turned to Chen Ajiao. After wiping her tears, Chen Ajiao raised her head and glared at Liu Che, saying, "Tan'er, isn't he just worried about making things difficult for you? After all, it was you who sent Li Guangli out. If things get out of hand, won't you be accused of not judging people well? What's more... he also didn't want to implicate his brother. Are you still blaming him for not saying anything?"
Liu Che was in the wrong and did not refute Chen Ajiao's words. He just comforted Liu Tan: "Don't worry, Tan'er, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Liu Tan forced a smile and offered a panacea: "Father, don't worry too much. It's over... let it be."
However, the more he said this, the more frightened Liu Che became.
Although he doted on Madam Li, he didn't dote on her to the point of disregarding his own son's life. Oh, of course, it also depends on who that son is. If it were one of the ones in the fiefdom, it might not be so easy for him to change his mind.
The most important thing is that he watched Liu Tan fall down before his own eyes, and that momentary panic was something Liu Che rarely experienced.
When Lady Wang died, Liu Che was never allowed to see her for the last time. The death of Lady Li was even more tragic... When Liu Che found out, he went to see her and all he could see was a soaking wet female corpse.
Liu Tan said that this was the first time that Liu Che saw someone fall down in front of him, except when Emperor Jingdi died.
Before it was worry, now it is anger.
Liu Che comforted Liu Tan for a long time before leaving. During the process, Chen Ajiao was sometimes sarcastic, but she did not confront Liu Che again.
After Liu Che left, Liu Tan looked at Chen Ajiao and said, "I'm sorry to have made my mother worried."
Chen Ajiao touched his forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly your mother who failed to protect you. Danyang will never be seen again. If you also..."
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Liu Tan immediately said, "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine now. Nothing's wrong."
Chen Ajiao had been worried and frightened for a long time, and now she was a little tired, so she said, "You should have a good rest. Don't worry, your mother won't let you suffer this loss."
The more Chen Ajiao thought about it, the more she gritted her teeth. She was deposed because she was slandered for practicing witchcraft.
However, everyone knew at the time that it was just an excuse for Liu Che to depose the queen. Otherwise, if she had really been involved in witchcraft, would the problem be solved by simply deposing her?
Now Liu Che's people are using witchcraft to frame her son. If Chen Ajiao can swallow this, she will no longer be Chen Ajiao.
Now she only regrets that Madam Li and Li Guangli died too easily!
Liu Tan didn't know what had happened so far, so he had to coax Chen Ajiao to go and rest first.
After Chen Ajiao left, Liu Tan immediately asked Bi Gao, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Bigao replied, "Your Highness, he has been unconscious for a day and a night."
When Bi Gao said this, he also looked scared.
One day and one night, that's normal. He once stayed up late when he came back from another place and didn't sleep for two days and one night. After arriving at the dormitory, he fell asleep immediately and slept from the morning of the previous day to the night of the next day. His roommates started discussing how to send him to the hospital, whether to call an ambulance or carry him there themselves.
However, in this day and night...it feels like a lot of things happened.
He then asked, "What did Jiang Chong say to the emperor?"
Bi Gao and Miao Rui looked at each other, and Miao Rui directly arranged the other palace people in the room to work, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Liu Tan was a little uneasy about their mysterious behavior. Then he heard Bi Gao say, "Your Majesty summoned Jiang Chong for questioning. Jiang Chong seems to have accused Li Guangli of setting up a witchcraft plot to frame Your Majesty."
Liu Tan: ???
Is there such a thing?
No, that's not right. Jiang Chong was too familiar with these unconventional methods. If Li Guangli had really been involved in witchcraft, Jiang Chong would not have been able to persuade him not to burn Li Guangli.
And judging from Miao Rui and Bigo's behavior...
Liu Tan lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Chong is so audacious! Does he know that he is deceiving the emperor?"
Miao Rui came over and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Water and Water Commander has done a flawless job, and Huo Guanglu has also accused Li Guangli of setting up a witchcraft plot."
Liu Tan gasped, "No, how come I didn't know about this? They didn't even discuss it with me?"
Of course, they didn't know about Miao Rui, and they hadn't seen Jiang Chong and Huo Guang either. They just heard about this matter.
Liu Tan was lying on the bed, confused for a moment. Could it be that... Li Guangli really did something?
His doubt was not answered until the third day. There was no way. He felt that he was fine the next day, but everyone was as if they were facing a great enemy, treating him like a clay doll, afraid that something would happen if he was bumped or hit.
Later, Liu Tan learned that Liu Che had killed a lot of people in those days. Apart from anything else, he had almost killed all the members of the Li family, and even Li's in-laws were implicated.
King Changyi Liu Bo also seemed very frightened.
Jiang Chong...is indeed a powerful weapon.
What Liu Tan is most thankful for now is that although he was wary of Jiang Chong at the beginning, he never intended to confront Jiang Chong head-on from the beginning to the end. Now it seems... it still has its benefits.
However, in order to understand what happened, he still called Jiang Chong over.
Jiang Chong had been really worried for the past few days, but Liu Tan lived in Suiyu Palace, which was within the harem, and he couldn't go in and out as he pleased. Seeing Liu Tan, he rushed over with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, I finally see you. I've been really worried these past few days."
Liu Tan suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, but when he looked down at Jiang Chong, he found that this man was actually quite sincere.
He had no choice but to say, "I'm fine now, but my father and mother were keeping a close eye on me, so they let me rest for two more days. Now that I'm finally released, you...you need to explain yourself quickly."
Because he was worried that there were Liu Che's spies in the palace, he didn't explain it too clearly. But I think even if he didn't explain it so clearly, Jiang Chong should be able to understand it.
Jiang Chong wiped his tears and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The evidence is solid. Moreover, Your Highness has lost so much weight for no apparent reason. Before... it's impossible for the Li family to recover."
Liu Tan immediately understood that his fainting before basically confirmed that Li Guangli was plotting to murder him. You know, when he first came back, Crown Prince Liu Ju went to pick him up in person, so he should have been in good condition at that time.
Probably no one believed that he lost weight so quickly because of psychological torture, and they all blamed it on Li Guangli.
At this time, not only Li Guangli's body, but even his ashes had been scattered to an unknown place.
Liu Che even understood Liu Tan very well. If it were him, it would probably not be as simple as burning the person.
Liu Tan felt slightly relieved and asked again, "Captain Huo, oh, he's now a Grand Master of Imperial Households. What did you tell him?"
Jiang Chong hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I...didn't say anything because I was worried that Huo Guanglu would disagree. Huo Guanglu is a smart man."
Liu Tan's mouth twitched. So it was Jiang Chong's performance from beginning to end?
Precisely because Huo Guang was a smart man, even though he knew that Jiang Chong was lying, he still tried his best to help him cover up the lie.
Huo Guang was worried at first, but Liu Tan's fainting was too timely. Now that everyone believed it, what psychological pressure did he still have?
After learning what had happened, Liu Tan was speechless. For a moment, he didn't know whether Jiang Chong had led Huo Guang astray or he had led Huo Guang astray.
Seeing Liu Tan's helpless expression, Jiang Chong couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your Highness, there have been rumors these days that His Majesty is going to reward you again. Maybe you will even have a fiefdom."
Liu Tanxin said tiredly, "Stop guessing. How's the court going lately?"
Liu Tan originally wanted to ask about the little Wusun, but he was afraid that asking too directly would make it seem like he cared too much about the little Wusun, so he had to be more roundabout.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chong sighed and said, "Alas, a lot of things have happened in the court recently. Prime Minister Shi died suddenly while in office, and His Majesty appointed Gongsun He as Prime Minister. At that time, Prime Minister Gongsun He..."
Jiang Chong shook his head and didn't say anything else. He never thought Gongsun He would cry so miserably.
Liu Tan was surprised after hearing this, but there were no major surprises afterwards. This was all normal historical development. He remembered that historical records showed that when Gongsun He was appointed as prime minister, he directly cried and refused. However, who could change Liu Che's will?
So Gongsun He still became his prime minister.
Liu Tan thought about it and decided to ask someone to prepare a gift to be sent to Gongsun Mansion. After all, it was a promotion.
As a result, before he could give the gift, Emperor Wu of Han called him over and struck him with lightning.
When he arrived at the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of Han waved to him with a friendly expression and said, "Tan'er, come here."
Liu Tan walked over with a puzzled look in his eyes, letting Liu Che look at him for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "You've lost weight. You haven't regained your weight in these few days."
Liu Tan said with a smile, "I feel much more relaxed now."
Liu Che looked at him lovingly and said, "I know that you have achieved great success this time and should not rest on your laurels. Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to start a family and establish a career. I intend to choose the daughter of Prime Minister Gongsun as the Crown Princess."
Liu Tan was immediately furious: "Not good!"
