Chapter 803 Swallowing the Sun



Not long after, the director of the Imperial Medical Academy stood before Emperor Jingming.

"How is the prince?" Emperor Jingming asked impatiently.

No wonder he is anxious, the crown prince will be enthroned tomorrow!

The old face of the court official was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and he said cautiously: "Reporting to the emperor, the prince's diarrhea has not been relieved after taking the medicine--"

"Will the registration be affected tomorrow?"

The eunuch raised his head bravely and looked deeply at Emperor Jingming.

What do you think?

Emperor Jingming: “…” He knew.

Reluctant to give up, Emperor Jingming asked again: "Could it be that the medicine is not suitable for the disease?"

The court envoy resisted the urge to roll his eyes and replied, "We have seen the prince several times and tried most of the prescriptions. The prince's diarrhea has been alleviated, but he is still not completely cured. The prince is now exhausted and can't get out of bed. If we force him to be crowned tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing-"

Under normal circumstances he would certainly not have said it so clearly, but this is the enthronement of the Crown Prince. Not only does the entire Great Zhou attach great importance to it, but even the neighboring countries will be paying attention. Once the Crown Prince is at the enthronement ceremony - just thinking about that scene, the envoy felt dizzy before his eyes.

He is a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he still has a minimum sense of shame!

So this must be said to dispel the emperor's unrealistic fantasies.

Emperor Jingming was hit hard, and murmured, "So, tomorrow's enthronement ceremony can only be postponed?"

The envoy did not dare to answer.

"Is there nothing you can do?"

The envoy can say: "Your Highness, if the Crown Prince has other symptoms, he can still take medicine to support it, but this diarrhea disease——"

Who can hold back diarrhea? The emperor was not such a naive person before.

It's just unfortunate. Even if the prince has back pain or leg pain, he has a way to deal with it.

Emperor Jingming was in a low mood and said helplessly, "Forget it, let's cancel tomorrow's canonization ceremony. Pan Hai, pass on the order."

"Yes." Pan Hai agreed and hurriedly passed on this urgent news.

The sealing ceremony will be held tomorrow. If we don't spread the word about cancelling the ceremony quickly, it will become a joke tomorrow when all the civil and military officials go to participate.

Pan Hai thought about this and sighed secretly.

Speaking of which, Prince Yan, no, the new Crown Prince has bad luck. Why does he have diarrhea at this moment?

Once the news spread that the enthronement ceremony was cancelled because the prince had diarrhea, it would be a huge loss of face.

"Okay, leave now." Having made the decision out of sheer helplessness, Emperor Jingming became annoyed when he saw the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He quickly sent the man away and stayed in his room sulking.

Pan Hai walked over quietly and said, "Your Majesty, the decree has been passed on."

"Hmm." Emperor Jingming nodded in frustration. After thinking about it, he was still angry and said with a stern face, "Send the Crown Princess to the palace."

Jiang Si was somewhat prepared for the summons, and saluted Emperor Jingming openly: "Hello, father."

Emperor Jingming shook his beard and said, "Give me the throne."

Soon Pan Hai moved a small stool and placed it next to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si sat down properly and waited for Emperor Jingming to speak.

Emperor Jingming held his folding fan and asked, "Is the seventh brother feeling better?"

"Many doctors have done their best and it has gotten much better." Jiang Si thought for a moment and said seriously, "I had diarrhea more than ten times yesterday, but only seven or eight times today."

Emperor Jingming: “…” Is this much better?

"Why did you suddenly develop diarrhea?"

Jiang Si lowered his eyes, his expression calm: "Maybe it's because I've been to too many banquets recently and eaten too much greasy food, and it's the height of summer now-"

Emperor Jingming said unhappily, "What greasy food did you eat in such a hot day?"

Can't this bastard just behave himself?

Jiang Si answered honestly: "The prince likes to eat braised pork elbows, steamed meat, and stewed pig's trotters..."

Emperor Jingming rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Summer food should be light. How can you eat like this?"

Jiang Si raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jingming and said calmly, "My daughter-in-law also thought so and once advised the prince to eat lighter food."

"He didn't listen?"

It shouldn't be like this.

Jiang Si sighed, with a distressed look on his face: "The prince said that during those years in the south, he lived and ate with the soldiers, and didn't have many opportunities to eat big fish and meat, so he especially liked to eat."

Emperor Jingming was silent.

Suddenly I wasn't so angry anymore, and even felt that Old Seven was a little pitiful -

Emperor Jingming's tone softened unconsciously: "Go back and tell the Seventh Brother that he should not eat like this when he is not short of these in the future."

Jiang Si stood up and knelt before Emperor Jingming: "Yes. In fact, the prince also knows that he has caused trouble to his father, and he is blaming himself."

Emperor Jingming frowned and said, "It's useless to blame yourself. The most important thing is to get your body back in shape as soon as possible. Okay, you can go back and take care of the Seventh Elder."

After Jiang Si left, Emperor Jingming shook his folding fan and sighed: "To be honest, I have wronged the Seventh Prince."

Pan Hai in the corner wanted to laugh.

My silly emperor, didn’t you promise to scold the prince?

No wonder the Prince of Yan could become the Crown Prince. He ate so much that even the ceremony of enthroning him as the Crown Prince had to be postponed. This is unprecedented and will be hard to surpass, yet he was able to win the Emperor's sympathy.

Thinking about how the deposed prince was often scolded by the emperor - Pan Hai became more determined to show his favor to the new prince.

As soon as the news of the postponement of the canonization ceremony spread, the whole court was in an uproar.

The prince was unwell on the eve of his enthronement ceremony. This was not a good sign.

Could it be that God thinks the new crown prince is unsuitable? He says the emperor is too hasty!

Countless people thought this way, and some ministers who were brave enough and dissatisfied with Emperor Jingming's decision had already begun writing memorials.

That day I was always thinking about waiting for others to come forward, but I ended up waiting in frustration. This time I can't wait any longer. When I go to court again, I will advise the emperor to reconsider the issue of appointing a crown prince.

Compared to the restless ministers, the empress dowager felt cold all over when she received the news. She leaned against the screen for a long time without saying a word.

Yu Jin is unable to perform the crown prince's enthronement ceremony due to diarrhea?

Is this God's will, or did he notice something?

It was impossible for him to notice that Qin Tianjian had laid that hidden chess move many years ago, when Yu Jin was still a child.

After a long time, the Queen Mother slowly stood up and walked to the window.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and no one would have thought that something terrible would happen tomorrow.

The ceremony of conferring the title of Crown Prince will not be carried out as scheduled, but the Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun will arrive on time.

After tomorrow, Qintian Prison will be thoroughly investigated and massacred, and the hidden chess pieces used will be useless if they don't work.

Is this destiny?

The Queen Mother stared out the window for a long time, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

The next day, because the ceremony of conferring the title to the crown prince was cancelled, all civil and military officials came to court with memorials in their pockets and rolled up their sleeves.

Today is a tough battle, we can’t let the emperor escape again!

Amid the eager anticipation of his ministers, Emperor Jingming arrived late.

Pan Hai cleared his throat and shouted: "If you have something to say, report it. If not, leave the court——"

A group of ministers immediately stood up and said in unison: "I have a memorial to report."

Emperor Jingming looked around at the crowd and asked the Minister of Personnel, who was in the lead, with a wary heart: "What does Minister Gu have to report?"

"Your Majesty..." The Minister of Personnel had just opened his mouth when the hall suddenly became dark.
