After taking the nutritional pills, Zhu Beichen suddenly felt stronger. He grabbed Doctor Li and asked, "What did you give me to eat? Anything else?"
Doctor Li: "I will only take half of this."
Zhu Beichen asked doubtfully, "Is it really gone?"
Doctor Li shook his head: "It's really gone. If I had known you were so greedy, I would have eaten it myself."
Zhu Beichen knew he was in the wrong, so he pointed to the sky and explained, "Doctor Li, think of a way. Can you get another one?"
Doctor Li also knew that since the poison was blown down from the air by the wind. I'm afraid the palace is not immune either. Naturally he would not be stingy if the emperor needed him, but he really had no more nutritional pills.
He thought for a moment and said, "My grandson is still in the palace..."
Zhu Beichen: "Oh, Li Fangling has it."
As he said this, he patted Doctor Li, stood up and left.
Doctor Li: I asked, am I pregnant with my grandson? This person cannot be a good person. If he is, he will be a bandit.
Zhu Beichen was exhausted after all. Half a nutrient pill gave him some energy, but his legs were still weak, as if he was stepping on cotton.
Ah Qi held him tightly and said, "Sir, let me carry you on my back, okay?"
Zhu Beichen narrowed his eyes, took his hand and whispered: "I will go through the main gate, and you go through the secret passage. If I can't enter the palace, you must deliver the prescription to the palace as soon as possible."
Ah Qi's expression was stern, he knew that the Lord was openly trying to attract the enemy and buy him time. He knew the matter was urgent, so he talked to Zhu Beichen thoroughly, then stood up, took the order and left.
…
At the gate of the palace, Zhu Beichen arrived and stopped Chen Shigui.
The spy chief is the spy chief. Even though he was sick, Chen Shigui felt uneasy under his watchful eyes.
He quickly straightened his face and said solemnly: "Master Zhu, I just explained to General Wei Si that we received our distress signal. We encountered Prince 괗 of Southern Xinjiang in the suburbs of Beijing. They wanted to launch a surprise attack and rob our military supplies in Cangwu. They have been killed by their subordinates."
As he spoke, he held up the head of Prince Nanjiang and showed it to Zhu Beichen.
Chen Shigui repeatedly emphasized that he learned about the changes in the capital from the prince of southern Xinjiang and was worried about the safety of his majesty, so he had to bring people to the capital.
Zhu Beichen looked at him coldly. Without saying a word.
Chen Shigui is the son-in-law of the Grand Princess's mansion. Others may not know about the Grand Princess's ambitions, but he knows it best.
The eldest princess has been secretly trying to win over court officials, wanting to nominate the eldest prince as the crown prince, but Xi Majesty doesn't like the eldest prince.
His Majesty appointed the Seventh Prince as the Crown Prince, and the First Prince missed the chance to be the Crown Prince. The eldest princess did not achieve her goal.
I thought that since the country had a crown prince, they should be more quiet. Even if you don't give up, you should still plan slowly. After all, the Seventh Prince is weak and there are too many variables.
In fact, Zhu Beichen was also wondering, the Grand Princess is of noble status, which prince who ascends the throne must respect her as aunt?
Moreover, the royal family is now dying out, and among your majesty's brothers and sisters of this generation, only the eldest princess is left.
As long as she doesn't commit the crime of treason, there is no doubt that she will be safe and wealthy. Why does she have to get involved in the matter of choosing a crown prince?
Because of suspicion and because of his majesty's order, he also investigated the eldest prince's life experience. He checked very carefully.
The eldest prince was indeed the child of Concubine Zhou who had been pregnant for ten months. There were archived records of the pulse case and birth during the pregnancy, and there were witnesses, so it could not be faked.
It's just that the fire at Zhou's house was a little strange. Although nothing was found out, he had a vague feeling that it might be related to the Grand Princess's Mansion.
This shows that the eldest princess does not want the eldest prince to have his mother's family exist. It seems that she wants to represent the eldest prince's mother's family, and then recommend the eldest prince to the throne, and become the first person to follow the dragon.
Is it that the position of Crown Prince has fallen into the hands of others, so the Grand Princess can no longer sit still?
So this time when a fire broke out in the capital, and someone used smoke to poison and murder the people of the city, was it the eldest princess who did it?
Is her purpose of doing this to force the emperor to revolt?
Zhu Beichen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
So, Chen Shigui's arrival at this time seemed to be to protect the imperial city, but was actually to force the emperor to abdicate?
Zhu Beichen's serious expression made Wei Qidong suspicious. He glanced at Chen Shigui suspiciously, "Captain Chen, do you have an order from His Majesty?"
Chen Shigui said helplessly: "I didn't receive your Majesty's order to transfer you. I just received news of a sudden plague in the capital and came to rescue you."
Zhu Beichen said coldly: "Save the emperor? Everything in the palace is normal, your Majesty is in good health, and the poison in the imperial city will soon be resolved. So there is no need for Captain Chen Qian to save the emperor here."
Wei Qidong suppressed the pain in his stomach, straightened his body, and said calmly: "Chen Shigui, the soldiers of your Western Camp are not allowed to bring weapons into the city without being summoned. You should take these people to guard the city to prevent the prince of Southern Xinjiang from taking the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Chen Shigui's face changed. "Master Zhu, General Wei Si, the capital is in such a state now. Someone must have poisoned it. We are just worried about your Majesty and want to protect you. Don't worry, you two masters. We will only guard the palace gate. Without your Majesty's order, we will not enter the palace at all."
Zhu Beichen didn't believe a word he said, but it was obvious that the Jinyiwei had no fighting power, while the soldiers from the Xi'an camp brought by Chen Shigui were strong and powerful. If they fought, there would be no suspense at all.
Zhu Beichen frowned and looked at Chen Shigui, then looked at the people behind him. Some of them lowered their heads and remained silent, while others were at a loss. It seemed that these people were not all his confidants, so this would be easy to deal with.
He suddenly took out a gold medal and said, "Soldiers of the Western Camp, listen to my orders."
When Wei Qidong saw the gold medal, he saw the words "As if I were here in person" written on it, and he knelt down immediately.
Chen Shigui had never expected that Zhu Beichen would actually have a gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. I had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly.
Although the soldiers in the Western Camp had never seen the gold medal, since General Wei Si and the captain of a thousand men had knelt down, they hurriedly knelt down as well.
Some who stood still were also pulled by the people around them to kneel.
Zhu Beichen and Wei Qidong exchanged glances calmly.
Zhu Beichen said: "I know that everyone is loyal to His Majesty, but the soldiers of the Western Camp entered the capital without being summoned and carrying weapons, which is a serious crime of treason."
Zhu Beichen looked at everyone whose faces had changed, and at Chen Shigui who was still trying to argue.
He waved his hand and continued, "I have a way to make everyone loyal without being accused of treason. Do you want to listen to it?"
A tall soldier asked, "Master Zhu, we are really here for the safety of your majesty. Master Zhu, please tell us that as long as we can protect your majesty, we are willing to do anything."
A bearded man said, "Me too, I want to protect your Majesty. I know that Lord Zhu is your Majesty's confidant. I trust you, Lord Zhu, please give me your instructions."
