Chapter 57 Knowing
Chapter 57 Knowing
"Mother, do you know who poisoned me?" Xuanyuan Xingyao asked the queen.
Upon hearing this, the Queen's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She said, "Your father is still investigating, but who else could it be besides those people in the harem? This time, no matter who it is, even if it's the Imperial Concubine, I will make her pay the price."
The Empress knew that the Emperor loved Xuanyuan Xingyao deeply, but she also knew that the Emperor cared about more than just Xuanyuan Xingyao. He might not have loved the others as much as he did, but they were still in his heart. If the one who attacked Xuanyuan Xingyao was truly their mother, then it was uncertain whether the person who was finally pushed out was the true culprit.
Therefore, even though the emperor had already taken action to investigate who poisoned Xuanyuan Xingyao, the queen still took action in secret. What she had to do was to ensure that the person who was finally pushed out was the real murderer. She would never let Xuanyuan Xingyao suffer in vain.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Nangong and Young Master Feng are outside asking for an audience." A eunuch walked in and said to the queen.
Upon hearing this, the Queen glanced at the still frail Xuanyuan Xingyao, intending to let him rest. After a moment's silence, she finally asked, "Yao'er, do you want to meet Nangong Jing and the others? If you feel unwell, your mother can ask them to come back later."
"Mother, please let them in. I'm not so weak that I don't even have the strength to see someone." Xuanyuan Xingyao said weakly after coughing.
The Queen sighed inwardly. She knew this would happen, but since Xuanyuan Xingyao said he wanted to see her, then she would. The Queen instructed the eunuch who had just reported to her, "Let the two gentlemen come in."
The Queen was actually a little worried that Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou would reveal Xuanyuan Xingyao's damaged meridians, and she wanted to go out and warn them. But Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou didn't need her to greet them, and deliberately going out would only arouse Xuanyuan Xingyao's suspicion. She could only pray that Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou would be more clever.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch responded respectfully and turned to inform Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou.
If Nangong Jing was a real child, the Queen's worries might not be wrong, but Nangong Jing was a "fake" child, so she naturally understood that Xuanyuan Xingyao could not stand the stimulation now.
Therefore, when the eunuch went in to report, Nangong Jing lowered his voice and said to Feng Xuanzhou, "Don't tell His Majesty the Seventh Prince about his meridian injury when you go in. He can't stand the stimulation right now."
Feng Xuanzhou might be a little naive sometimes, but he wasn't really stupid. A serious look quickly crossed his face as he said, "I understand."
Soon, the eunuch who had just gone in to report came out to inform them that they could go in. Feng Xuanzhou and Nangong Jing subconsciously straightened their clothes, then stepped over the threshold and entered Zhaochun Palace.
After Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou arrived at Xuanyuan Xingyao's bedroom, they first glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao and saw that he seemed to be in good spirits. Then they realized that they had not yet saluted, so they bowed deeply to the queen and Xuanyuan Xingyao.
After Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou came in, they did not greet the Queen immediately. Perhaps this was a little impolite, but in the eyes of the Queen, it showed their loyalty to Xuanyuan Xingyao. Therefore, she was not angry but very happy.
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell right now?" Nangong Jing said to Xuanyuan Xingyao with a worried look in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing, and when he saw the undisguised worry in his eyes, he felt very pleased. A hint of smile flashed across his eyes as he said, "It's getting much better, but he's still a little weak and in some pain."
Xuanyuan Xingyao is a warrior. It is common for him to get injured while practicing martial arts. His pain tolerance is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The fact that he still feels pain shows how uncomfortable he is at this moment.
When Nangong Jing heard Xuanyuan Xingyao say that it hurt, the pain in his eyes increased a little more, and he hated the person behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, it was discovered in the previous life that it was a nobleman who had attacked Xuanyuan Xingyao. However, that nobleman was neither favored nor had any children. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was being pushed out as a scapegoat.
If the real murderer had been found out in his previous life, Nangong Jing would have revealed the clues to the Queen and the Emperor even at the risk of being suspected.
What Xuanyuan Xingyao needed most now was rest, so Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou did not stay in Zhaochun Palace for long. After confirming that Xuanyuan Xingyao was temporarily fine, the two said goodbye.
The Queen was very satisfied with the two's sensible behavior. After Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou left, the Queen did not stay long and sat for a while before returning to Fengyi Palace.
After the queen left, Zhang Shumo and the other three came in. When Bing Linxuan left, he asked them to protect Xuanyuan Xingyao, so the four of them stayed directly in the side hall of Zhaochun Palace.
Because the Queen was there, the four of them didn't come over even though they knew Xuanyuan Xingyao had woken up. Although there was a huge age gap between the Queen and them, the four of them and the Queen still looked very young.
These rumors can sometimes kill people, especially in the harem, where there are invisible swords and sabers every day.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was not surprised to see Zhang Shumo and the other three coming over. Even though they had not been together for a long time, they were still brothers after all. If something happened to him, it was impossible for Zhang Shumo, Mo Jiutian and the other three not to come and visit him.
But Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little confused. Why were there only Zhang Shumo and the other three, but no Bing Linxuan?
Zhang Shumo saw Xuanyuan Xingyao's confusion and explained, "Although the poison in your body has been removed, your body still needs to be recuperated. There is a medicinal herb in the Warcraft Forest that is very useful for recuperating your body. Master has gone to the Warcraft Forest to find the herb for you."
Xuanyuan Xingyao's pupils shrank rapidly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Bing Linxuan to go this far for him. The Warcraft Forest, that was the Warcraft's base camp, a place where even a War Saint would have to be extremely cautious.
Mo Jiutian saw a look of both emotion and worry on Xuanyuan Xingyao's face, and nodded slightly in his heart. He was a man who knew how to be grateful, and said, "Don't worry, Master is going with Uncle Han and the others, and he will be absolutely fine."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Xingyao finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
"Junior brother, we will stay in the side hall until the master returns. If you have anything, just send someone to call us." Zhang Shumo said to Xuanyuan Xingyao with a smile.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was confused by Zhang Shumo's words. Why did they all have to stay in the side hall? There were plenty of servants in Zhaochun Palace, and he had no shortage of people to serve him. Could someone else rush into Zhaochun Palace to assassinate him? No one would be so bold.
"Is it too much trouble for you, senior brothers? The side hall is so small that people cannot live in it." The side hall of Zhaochun Palace is actually not small. It is much larger than the master bedroom where some dukes, marquises and male owners live.
But for Xuanyuan Xingyao, who had lived in the largest bedroom in Zhaochun Palace since childhood, the side hall was really pitifully small and there was no way Zhang Shumo and the others could live there.
"At our level, sleep is no longer necessary. Besides, there are many side halls in Zhaochun Palace, so it is very spacious for each of us to live in one." Zhang Shumo said with a smile.
Zhang Shumo had already said this, and if Xuanyuan Xingyao rejected their kindness again, he would be ungrateful, so he expressed his gratitude again.
During Xuanyuan Xingyao's recovery, Zhang Shumo and the other three would take turns to guard Xuanyuan Xingyao. Every time the palace servants sent food, drink and medicine, Zhang Shumo and the others would check them to make sure they were correct before allowing Xuanyuan Xingyao to take them.
Under the treatment of the imperial physician and the light magician, Xuanyuan Xingyao's health improved day by day. Because the imperial physician had specifically reminded him under the instructions of the queen that Xuanyuan Xingyao could not practice at will before his body fully recovered, Xuanyuan Xingyao had not noticed that there was something wrong with his meridians.
If this continues, it is not impossible that Xuanyuan Xingyao will be completely unaware of the true condition of his body before Bing Linxuan and the others return. The only bad thing is that some people do not want Xuanyuan Xingyao to recover so easily.
Xuanyuan Xingyao is a person who can't sit still. Although he can't practice now, he will start to get out of bed and move around after his body recovers a little.
Because the imperial physician had said that occasional exercise would be beneficial to recovery, the Empress and the Emperor did not object to Xuanyuan Xingyao getting out of bed. They simply advised him not to force himself and to sit down and rest as soon as he felt any discomfort.
On this day, Xuanyuan Xingyao was walking slowly in the corridor of Zhaochun Palace accompanied by eunuchs, just like the previous few days, to exercise his body. As a result, when he passed a corner, he suddenly heard two young palace maids gossiping there.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had never been interested in gossip, so after stopping the eunuch who was about to scold the young maid, he turned and walked back. The two young maids were young, and it was normal for them to be curious. There was no need to punish them for such a small matter.
But when Xuanyuan Xingyao turned around and was about to leave, he found that they were talking about himself. Xuanyuan Xingyao stopped and signaled others not to speak, then pricked up his ears to listen to what the two palace maids were saying about him.
But after hearing the conversation between the two little palace maids, Xuanyuan Xingyao spat out a mouthful of blood, he was so stimulated.
"I heard that the Seventh Prince's meridians were damaged and he can no longer practice. Is that true?" A little palace maid with a round face and looking very cute asked another palace maid curiously. She also knew that she couldn't ask about the affairs of the palace casually, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
"Of course it's true. It is said that the poison that the Seventh Prince was infected with was very strange. Although he was detoxified in time, his meridians were damaged and he could no longer practice. It's a pity that the Seventh Prince has such a good talent but can no longer practice." Another little palace maid said.
Xuanyuan Xingyao felt his head go blank, and it seemed as if he could not hear anything. The only thing left in his mind was that his meridians were damaged and he could not practice anymore!!!
Xuanyuan Xingyao couldn't believe it and subconsciously circulated his spiritual power. Then he felt a sharp pain in his meridians. Then Xuanyuan Xingyao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!!!" Xuanyuan Xingyao's personal eunuch protected Xuanyuan Xingyao in time and prevented him from falling to the ground. He was extremely anxious when he saw that Xuanyuan Xingyao not only vomited blood but also fainted.
The two palace maids who were gossiping behind the back heard the eunuch's voice and turned around to see Xuanyuan Xingyao falling down. Their faces immediately turned pale and they knelt on the ground, trembling all over, extremely scared.
Eunuch Li glared at the two little palace maids fiercely. If possible, Eunuch Li wanted to eat them alive, but the most important thing now was Xuanyuan Xingyao's body.
"Hurry up and carry His Highness back to the bedroom. Go and call the imperial physician and the light magician immediately. You two go and inform the Emperor and the Empress that something has happened to His Highness the Seventh Prince. Go quickly." Eunuch Li quickly calmed down and gave orders to the other eunuchs who were equally anxious but at a loss.
With Eunuch Li's instructions, the scene was still a little chaotic, but at least it began to become orderly.
Eunuch Li was about to follow her back to Zhaochun Palace, but after running a few steps, he suddenly remembered the culprit who had harmed Xuanyuan Xingyao so badly, and fiercely ordered, "Lock up these two bitches first and wait for the Queen's decision."
"Eunuch, please spare me, please spare me." The two maids kept begging and kowtowed, but it was useless and they were dragged away by the guards.
