Liang Jiugong could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty, the commotion outside just now was caused by several ministers who accompanied you on this trip. They wanted to spread the news that Your Majesty had contracted malaria back to the capital."
Yinzhen naturally understood what this meant. If he really couldn't pull through, the capital wouldn't be in too much chaos if they knew in advance. But understanding it in his heart was one thing, the reality was: "They know that my condition hasn't improved?"
Liang Jiugong knew in his heart that he must have known.
"Your Majesty, you should know."
Yinzhen had instructed Liang Jiugong to keep the news under wraps. He knew Liang Jiugong's methods and believed the news could be kept secret. However, the current situation was that his illness had still been discovered and was being widely discussed.
Yinzhen considered a possibility: perhaps the news of his illness hadn't been leaked to anyone, but rather someone had speculated that his condition hadn't improved. But who had made that speculation? Why? What was their purpose in doing so?
Yinzhen: "Go investigate and see who initially said the news."
"yes"
In an elegant study in the capital, a man with phoenix eyes but a very gentle demeanor spoke up: "Is everything arranged?"
"Your Majesty, this servant has made all the arrangements."
Then another person entered the study.
"This servant greets Master."
"Get up, what is it?"
"Your Majesty, my men have discovered that the missionaries we secretly bribed have been arrested. We have not been able to find out where they are being held. Please punish them, Your Majesty."
"Alright, send a message to them, telling them to keep an eye out for any new people around the Emperor. Most importantly, make sure the Emperor doesn't use Golden Rooster Frost."
"This servant will take care of it immediately."
The man came and went in a hurry. After he left, the subordinate who had been in the study spoke up: "Master, things have changed. Should we change the plan?"
"Not for now, but have someone spread the news that the Emperor is seriously ill and that the only prince is also unconscious. I want everyone in the capital to know. Also, have someone spread some rumors that the Emperor has committed too many killings and angered the heavens, which is why he has such a tragic fate. In addition, I don't want the Empress's reputation to be too good either."
"This servant understands. This servant takes his leave."
With no one else in the study, the man with phoenix eyes and a gentle demeanor gradually changed his expression, then said in a very low voice, "Fourth brother, you just wait!"
The news that the Emperor was seriously ill and that his only son was unconscious spread throughout the capital in an instant, reaching everyone from princes and nobles to ordinary citizens.
Upon receiving the news, Yunrong's expression darkened: "Weren't we supposed to keep the news under wraps? How did it still get out?"
"Your Majesty, we have indeed blocked the news. We have sent people to watch over everyone who knows the truth, so there is absolutely no chance for the news to get out."
Yunrong sensed something was wrong and said to Baiguo, "Go to the bed in my bedroom. There's a wooden box under the bed. Bring it here."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Yunrong was well aware of the current situation. If someone were to force her to resign in the end, she would have the wooden box and the things in the laboratory. At the very least, the enemy wouldn't be able to get close.
Besides, at worst she could just blow the other side up; she would never allow herself to fall into a dangerous situation from which she couldn't save herself.
At this time, Beibei was also picked up by Yunrong. She was really worried about leaving her daughter alone. Who knew if the person behind her might do something desperate? If that happened, she would be devastated.
Beibei, unaware of what had happened, came over with a smile on her face: "Mother, why did you let your daughter come to my brother's place?"
Yunrong looked at her youngest daughter, her face as usual, and said to Beibei, "Brother is sick and has fallen asleep. Let's wait together for him to wake up and for Father to come back, okay?"
When Beibei heard that her brother was sick, her face immediately showed some anxiety: "If my brother is sick, does he have to drink very bitter medicine? Mother, please let my brother get better soon! It's uncomfortable to be sick."
Yunrong, heavily pregnant, hugged Beibei, trying not to let her see her tearful expression, and then said, "Okay, Mother will tell Beibei to tell her brother that Beibei is waiting for her brother to wake up so they can play together, and ask her brother to wake up soon, okay?"
"good"
It's been a night, and Bobo is still running a fever.
"Why hasn't he recovered yet? Imperial Physician, come here and tell me the truth, when will Bobo wake up?"
This wasn't the first time Yunrong had asked this question. She knew the answer, but she still couldn't help asking.
"Your Majesty, this servant cannot guarantee anything. However, the eldest prince did not drink much of the medicine. If he could drink the rest, perhaps things would be better."
Yunrong quickly tried to think of a solution. In ancient times, there were no tubes or IV drips; medicine was administered by force-feeding.
Yunrong remembered that she had some small tubes in her lab that might be useful.
Yunrong quickly took it out and had someone feed Bobo the medicine.
Beibei was a little scared looking at her brother lying on the bed. Bobo had a fever and his face was pale. He kept wiping his mouth with water, but the corners of his mouth were still peeling. In Beibei's impression, Bobo was usually very good-looking.
That's why Beibei felt a little scared.
Beibei is young, but she knows that being sick is painful. Although she doesn't know what the situation is now, she still has some sense of it. She can feel her mother's sadness and the strange atmosphere in the whole hall.
"Mother, when will my brother get better?"
"It will be over soon, brother, just drink the medicine and you'll be fine."
"Really? My brother looks so uncomfortable. You must get better soon."
"Yes, Beibei is so cute, your brother will definitely not want Beibei to be sad. After hearing what Beibei said, your brother will definitely wake up and then he can play with Beibei."
