Chapter 175: Substituting
Not long after, the people sent by Qian Lou came back one by one, and all the imperial doctors who were not on duty in the Imperial Hospital were called in.
Many people appeared in the courtyard in disheveled clothes and saluted Fengshenyu respectfully:
"Meet the Right Prime Minister."
"Do everything you can to save Prince Jin's life. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow to greet His Majesty."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Although they didn't know what had happened to Prince Jin, they thought he must have been seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't have brought so many people here in the middle of the night.
When the imperial doctors entered the room and looked at the person on the bed, they were all extremely surprised.
I met the King of Jin a few days ago, and he still looked strong and healthy. This... this...
The imperial physician who reacted quickly pulled Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Zhao aside and asked:
"What on earth is going on?"
Doctor Hu waved his hand and said, "This is not something you and I can interfere with. The Right Prime Minister said that we should cure the Prince of Jin, so let's do it.
As for the rest, that is the business of the Right Prime Minister and Your Majesty."
When everyone heard this, they knew that there were many implications behind this, so they kept quiet.
They just took turns taking the pulse and then discussed how to use medicine to save King Jin's life.
In the first half of the night, there was a commotion in the capital. First, there was a fire in the Prince Jin's mansion, causing a lot of noise.
Later, a large number of Jinwu Guards surrounded the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
Then, the Grand Princess Jinyang’s residence searched the entire city for the imperial physician.
Although the front yard of the princess's mansion was so noisy that Zhao Qing was woken up, the backyard was very quiet and no one dared to disturb Li Yueyao.
Zhaoqing appeared with a sleepy face. After listening to Qian Lou's report, he felt unwell.
He got up quietly and went to the side courtyard to see the Prince of Jin and his wife.
Looking at the unrecognizable Prince of Jin lying on the couch, Zhaoqing suddenly burst into tears, recalling their past.
At that time, she often told the King of Jin about her distress, and the King of Jin often comforted her, played chess with her, and went hunting with her to relax.
But later, somehow the two became estranged. Not only did the King of Jin not understand him, he began to criticize and blame him.
In the end, the two had a big quarrel and had almost no contact in the past few years.
Think about it, at that time, the King of Jin suddenly seemed like a different person, why didn’t I notice it?
It was also because I told my secrets to that King Jin that people had the opportunity to take advantage of me.
Use your own hands to mobilize the normal warehouse and the Treasury Department.
Zhaoqing held Prince Jin's hand, tears streaming down her face.
Finally, Doctor Hu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. We need to treat His Highness the Prince of Jin..."
Zhao Qing wiped his tears, nodded, stood up, and bowed to the imperial doctors:
"Thank you, Imperial Physicians."
The imperial physicians returned the greeting, "Your Highness is very polite. This is our duty."
After Zhaoqing came out, he went next door to see Princess Jin.
Princess Jin was sleeping on the bed with a scarf covering her eyes. Cui Yu and Doctor Zhao were looking after her.
Zhaoqing sat beside the bed, looking at Princess Jin. After only a while, he saw Princess Jin jumping in fear in her dream.
Zhao Qing turned around and asked Cui Yu anxiously: "What happened to sister-in-law?"
"Your Highness, Princess Jin is not yet accustomed to the environment here, and the startle reaction caused by nightmares is normal.
Things will get better over time, don't worry, Your Highness."
Zhaoqing stayed here until dawn.
Prince Jin's Mansion.
At 11:00 PM, Xiao left the house to meet Xie's second son. When they finished discussing things, it was already 11:00 PM when they returned home.
Seeing the flames rising into the sky from the mansion, he immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong.
He immediately rode his horse to the west of the palace and headed straight for a small courtyard across the street from the palace.
Lei Jing is already on standby here.
Perhaps Lei Jing was already on standby here when the fire broke out in Prince Jin's Mansion.
After Xiao came in, he immediately shouted, "Quick, pack up and evacuate."
"Master, everything is packed and we can withdraw at any time."
"Then let's go immediately to Gongchen Courtyard."
Lei Jing looked at Prince Jin's Mansion and said, "Don't we have to wait for him?"
"No, he'll get away on his own."
After saying that, he led his men out of the yard and headed straight south.
As soon as they left, Huai Xiucheng came with the Jinwu Guards and surrounded the Prince Jin's Mansion.
A quarter of an hour ago, after seeing the fireworks signal in the sky, Huai Xiucheng threatened to leave.
After Huai Xiucheng left, King Jin received the news and learned that the people had been rescued.
He immediately disguised himself as a servant in the mansion and slipped away through the corner gate.
In order to escape, they set fire everywhere along the way.
In the second half of the night, fires broke out all over the capital, and the left and right Jinwu Guards rushed around to put out the fires.
Feng Shenyu received news that fires were raging all over the capital and immediately said, "This is the riots created by the people of Nanli. They are trying to withdraw."
"Humph! That depends on whether I'm willing or not.
Come, order all nine gates in the capital to be tightly sealed, allowing only entry and no exit."
Fan Yong has been busy interrogating the Wang family's gang in Wan'an Mountain these days, and has just made some progress.
Less than two hours after lying down, he was called out of bed again.
"General, the Right Prime Minister has an urgent request."
Fan Yong stood up while muttering curses, put on his clothes and asked:
"What happened?"
The steward lowered his head and replied, "First, the Prince of Jin's Mansion caught fire, and then it was surrounded by the Jinwu Guards.
Then the Jinyang Grand Princess's Mansion searched the whole city for the imperial physician, and finally fires broke out everywhere in the city.
The Right Prime Minister has issued an order to impose martial law at all nine gates."
When Fan Yong heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
Damn it, don’t you even sleep at night?
Each one is more troublesome than the other.
After he arrived at the Grand Princess's Mansion and met Feng Shenyu, and heard her talk about Prince Jin, Fan Yong's mouth opened like a hippopotamus and couldn't close it at all.
"Are you sure you're not talking about the Book of Heaven?
The real King of Jin is imprisoned in the dungeon in the mansion. Are the two Kings of Jin in daily life fake?
One of them is a fucking woman?"
Feng Shenyu rubbed his forehead and said, "Shut your mouth and get to work.
Follow the route of the arson and capture the fake Jin King and his gang."
After hearing this, Fan Yong stood up, bowed and took his leave.
As I walked, I was still thinking about what Feng Shenyu had just said about the King of Jin. It was unbelievable, really unbelievable...
Although Fan Yong found it unbelievable, it did not affect his work speed.
He quickly led people along the route of the fire to catch people.
In Yongtaifang, next to the South City, there is an inconspicuous courtyard. At this moment, everyone in the courtyard is on high alert and ready for battle at any time.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate of the yard, three long and two short knocks. After hearing it, the gatekeeper slowly opened the door and stuck his head out.
The person outside the door had a pale face but a strong build, and was wearing the clothes of a servant.
"Cangli Wuji, Lord Weiyang. Your servant Jin Yucheng requests an audience with Her Royal Highness Princess Cangli."
The gatekeeper looked at the small mole at the end of the man's eyebrow, nodded, made way and let him in.
After Jin Yucheng came in, the gatekeeper followed him into the main house in the courtyard.
The Xiao family is no longer the Xiao family in the Prince Jin's Mansion.
At this moment, she was wearing the unique Nanli costume, and her hairstyle was also Nanli hair accessories, with her head full of silver hairpins and combs.
At that time, she was no longer Princess Ning'an of the Yu Dynasty, nor was she Xiao, the concubine of Prince Jin of the Great Jin Dynasty, but Princess Cangli of Nanli.
Seven years ago, she killed the envoys and princess of the Yu Dynasty who came to the Jin Dynasty to marry into the alliance, and headed north with the spies of Nanli.
After lurking in the capital of Jin for so many years, encroaching on its territory and swallowing up its resources, it is now clear that great results have been achieved and the net is about to be closed.
But Li Yueyao suddenly appeared, and together with Feng Shenyu, they uprooted his seven-year business in less than a year.
Princess Cangli looked very unhappy at the moment, and was pondering over her next move.
When Jin Yucheng came in, he saw that Lei Jing was the only one in the room, so he bowed to the leader:
"Your Highness, I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Well, no one followed you, did you?"
Jin Yucheng shook his head.
"I set fire all the way to the west, creating chaos, and then took a detour here."
