Chapter 120 The Third Prince Vomits Blood Again
"Since the Third Prince is really unwell, Doctor Zhou, please excuse me."
When Concubine Hui heard that Shangguan Nanxing finally gave in, she thought that the cooperation between her and Shangguan Nanfeng had worked, so she asked the doctor to come up and treat him quickly.
"I obey your orders."
Although Doctor Zhou was a bit old and half of his hair was gray, his reaction speed was impeccable. As soon as Concubine Hui gave a signal, he immediately bent over and walked to Shangguan Nanxing's side.
Shangguan Nanxing was sitting on a chair at this time. Doctor Zhou took out a hand pillow from the medicine box, placed it on the sandalwood table next to him, and motioned Shangguan Nanxing to put his wrist on it.
After Shangguan Nanxing placed his hand on the patient's wrist, he bent his waist downward again and began to take the patient's pulse carefully.
Concubine Hui just stared at Doctor Zhou's movements. In a corner where the emperor couldn't see, a pair of hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief.
At this moment, Zhuge Ruo, the Lord Zhuge of the Imperial Observatory, just arrived. On the way, he roughly listened to the general description of the servant who called him, and naturally had some understanding of the situation on the scene.
Zhuge Ruo was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with a thin body. People who were too thin rarely had aura.
But this Zhuge Ruo, looking at his eyebrows and eyes, gives people the feeling of being upright and dignified, without any sense of being vulgar at all.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty..." Zhuge Ruo was about to finish his polite words when he was ruthlessly interrupted by the emperor.
"Okay, no need to say so much. Let's tell the Third Prince's fortune and see if his medical treatment today will affect his fortune for the next year."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand again, indicating that Zhuge Ruo could stand up and do divination.
Zhuge Ruo was originally Shangguan Nanxing's man. When he heard that the Third Prince kept refusing to see the doctor, saying that he was afraid of bringing bad luck during the New Year, he knew that the Third Prince was unwilling to take his pulse.
He threw the wooden sign in his hand to the ground with a serious look on his face, and then he did it twice in succession. The strange thing was that although the emperor and his men could not understand the meaning of the hexagram, the front and back sides were the same when they appeared three times.
This wooden sign was naturally tampered with by Zhuge Ruo. He was using the simplest method to make the emperor notice something unusual.
When Zhuge Ruo picked up the wooden sign for the last time, he lowered his head and took the opportunity to glance at Shangguan Nanxing next to him.
I saw Shangguan Nanxing was having his pulse checked by a doctor. When the doctor looked at Shangguan Nanxing, Shangguan Nanxing nodded slightly.
Zhuge Ruo immediately understood what the third prince meant. Lord Zhuge's full name is Zhuge Ruo, but most people like to call him Lord Zhuge when they meet him.
After all, the Lord Zhuge in front of him is good at fortune-telling and deserves the title of Lord.
"This... this... this..." Zhuge Ruo's face suddenly turned pale and he said the word "this" three times in a row. The wooden sign in his hand kept shaking, as if he had foreseen something bad.
When the emperor saw Zhuge Ruo's reaction, his face immediately darkened. Although he did not understand the hexagrams, he could understand people's reactions.
Zhuge Ruo's reaction didn't seem very good.
You know, the royal family members have always believed in the divinations of the Imperial Observatory, otherwise the emperor would not have listened to the instructions of the Imperial Observatory and brought Su Yue back.
"Your Majesty, I dare not say anything!" Zhuge Ruo held the wooden sign, his fingers trembling as if he was really scared.
"Just say it, I'll acquit you." When the emperor heard Zhuge Ruo's words, his face darkened even more, and an ominous feeling rose from the soles of his feet.
"This hexagram shows that today a dragon will collide with the Nian beast. In the coming year, there will probably be a great disaster!
Moreover, I was afraid that the hexagram might be wrong, so I divined three times in a row, but the hexagram was the same every time! ”
Zhuge Ruo closed his eyes and spoke quickly, and as he spoke, there was a "puff" sound. Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound. Shangguan Nanxing actually spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Father, don't blame my second brother, they are doing this for my own good..." After Shangguan Nanxing said this, he "fainted" contentedly and collapsed on the table.
Doctor Zhou, who was standing by, felt that the Third Prince's pulse was abnormal and disorderly, and very weak.
But the most terrifying thing was that as he took the pulse for a longer time, the pulse beat became more and more erratic. In the end, before he could even say a word, blood was sprayed all over his face.
"Xing'er!" When the emperor saw Shangguan Nanxing vomiting blood and fainting, he stood up from his chair in shock, hurriedly ran over to support Shangguan Nanxing, and saw blood at the corners of his mouth.
The blood looked extremely glaring on the pale face, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this, this could be a catastrophe!" Zhuge Ruo watched Shangguan Nanxing faint, and reminded the emperor in an extremely exaggerated manner.
The emperor held the back of Shangguan Nanxing's head with his right hand, his face was so dark that water seemed to be dripping out of it, but he didn't say a word. However, anyone could see that the emperor was on the verge of anger.
"Master Zhuge, don't talk nonsense. I just checked his pulse. It's not as serious as you said. I think the third prince just happened to be ill today.
It was a coincidence that Feng'er brought Doctor Zhou here. Doctor Zhou, please treat the third prince for me now. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise it would take some time to invite an imperial physician as usual. ”
Concubine Hui is Concubine Hui after all. She has been able to maintain her position among the top three in the harem for so many years. She must be quite capable.
A few words calmed the emperor's anger a little, and Shangguan Nanfeng, who had been frightened pale by the words Shangguan Nanxing said when he fainted, has now returned to normal.
After all, Shangguan Nanxing's words just now clearly told his father not to blame him, but what his father hated most was Shangguan Nanxing being hurt.
If it weren't for what his mother had just said, Shangguan Nanfeng dared to guarantee that if anything happened to Shangguan Nanxing today, he would not have an easy life!
"I obey your command." Doctor Zhou, whose face was sprayed with blood, finally came to his senses. He raised his right hand and skillfully wiped his face twice with his sleeve. Then he came to stand in front of the emperor tremblingly.
Without the emperor's order, even if Concubine Hui asked him to do so, he would not dare to act rashly, especially now that the emperor looked so unhappy.
He was afraid that if he did not do what the emperor wanted, he would lose his head.
"Empress Hui asked you to treat the Third Prince. Are you deaf? Why are you standing here like an idiot? If anything happens to the Third Prince, you will not be able to return home today."
The emperor took Shangguan Nanxing's right hand, gently lifted it up, and suspended it in the air, motioning Doctor Zhou to come over.
When Concubine Hui saw the emperor doing this, a gleam of malice flashed in her beautiful eyes. It seemed that the emperor doted on Shangguan Nanxing too much.
She is a little scared now. Since the emperor dotes on the third prince so much, will he pass the throne to him even though he knows that the third prince is seriously ill?
This is not good news for either her or Shangguan Nanfeng.
