Chapter 771 Vomited Most of It
The emperor had planned it all.
He had received news from Min State two months ago that Min State had sent a team of envoys on the way to Zhao State, and the king had something to discuss.
The emperor didn't know why the Min Kingdom, with which he had no dealings for a long time, suddenly sent an envoy this time, but it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of this incident to force Prince Jun to hand over the Zhao Kingdom seal and the Dragon Shadow Guard.
In the past, Prince Jun would personally bring the seal into the palace, stamp it with his own hands, and then take it back.
But now Prince Jun is ill and cannot leave the house, so he can only ask someone to deliver the seal.
At that time, he could keep the seal on the pretext that Prince Jun was seriously ill and contagious and could not return the seal.
Also, Min State was such a powerful country that it sent an envoy to Zhao State. They must have brought a team of elite soldiers with them. If he wanted to meet the envoy, he must have the protection of the Dragon Shadow Guards.
So at that time, the Dragon Shadow Guard also had to be sent to his side.
Once you come here, you can't leave again, because Prince Jun has a contagious disease!
This reason is really useful!
If Prince Jun continues to complain, he will be accused of harming the Queen Mother, and the blame will be put on him in order to seize power.
Of course, the best thing would be that Prince Jun died of illness directly, that would be perfect!
The emperor was hoping that Prince Jun would die of illness.
"Your Majesty, the people we sent to investigate have come back to report that Prince Jun's mansion is still strangely quiet, and there is no one in the courtyard."
The secret guard came back quickly to report.
There was a thick layer of snow in the courtyard of Prince Jun's mansion, and no servants came out to sweep the snow properly. It seemed that everyone stayed in the house, and it was quiet and deserted outside.
"No one is there?" The emperor found it hard to believe. "Is it true that everyone in the palace is infected with the disease?"
“But there will still be smoke.”
"So they are all seriously ill, but not dead? They still need to eat and drink, and even when decocting medicine, there will be smoke." The emperor could no longer sit still, and paced back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.
"Where's the Queen Mother?"
"We didn't see the Queen Mother, so our people didn't dare to sneak in. We even snooped in the trees outside, but we couldn't see Aunt Gui beside the Queen Mother."
"Where are those people in Fu's house? Where are Fu Jinchen and Fu Lin?" the emperor asked again.
"Fu Jinchen has been very active these days. He also took Fu Zhaofei to visit relatives and friends during the New Year holidays."
The emperor's brows were furrowed so tightly that he looked like he could pinch a fly to death.
"What the hell is Fu Jinchen doing? Why is he so arrogant?"
Isn't he afraid that Prince Jun will come after him? Although the government has already withdrawn the arrest of him and no one has convicted him, they are still highly suspected of what happened back then.
Everyone was waiting to see how Prince Jun would take revenge. What would Fu Zhaoning do being caught in the middle? They really didn't expect the situation to be like this now.
"It may be that Prince Jun's mansion has been closed to visitors, and Prince Jun has not shown up, so Fu Jinchen thinks that Prince Jun has given up on settling accounts with them."
"So they won't care about Fu Zhaoning anymore?"
The emperor still found it very strange. Back then, Fu Jinchen and Fu Lin seemed to be very family-oriented people, and they doted on their newborn daughter. Now that she was staying in Prince Jun's mansion and refused to come out, Fu Jinchen and his wife didn't even think of finding a way to see her?
"Your Majesty, could it be that since they haven't seen each other for so many years, they don't really have any affection for each other? Or is it that Princess Jun married Prince Jun, so Fu Jinchen feels that he and his daughter are not the same kind of people anymore?"
The emperor shook his head, "I don't believe it."
He thought about summoning Fu Jinchen and his wife to the palace to see him in person, but because of his internal illness, he really didn't dare to see anyone at will.
What if someone gets sick outside and brings the disease into the palace?
Recently, when he went to court, he placed a screen in front of the hall and asked all officials to step back. After the court session, he did not summon anyone to the imperial study.
The answer is that I am afraid of death, very afraid of death.
Because of this incident, the emperor had no idea what the officials were talking about him in secret.
This kind of disease has broken out in the city, but the emperor didn't think of arranging for imperial doctors to study how to make medicine and how to help people prevent it?
"By the way, where is Prince Xiao?" The emperor suddenly thought of Prince Xiao.
He hadn't seen Prince Xiao for several days. Prince Xiao was prevented from entering the palace by him last time, and he never came to ask for an audience again?
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Xiao went to a farm in the suburbs and left on New Year's Eve."
The emperor was shocked. "You haven't come back since the New Year?"
"No."
"Did he go there on his own?"
"It was Prince Xiao who sent him there."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
"Quick, go find out!"
He was a little panicked, and always felt it was strange that Prince Xiao suddenly went to live in Zhuangzi.
The secret guards quickly left the city and went to Prince Xiao's manor in the suburbs.
It snowed heavily throughout the New Year, and now the fields outside were covered in white. The wind was cold and bleak. Although it was already spring after the New Year, for some reason, there was still a chill in the air, without a trace of life.
It was freezing cold and there was not many people outside.
The farm of Prince Xiao’s mansion is quite large.
The secret guards found out the house where Prince Xiao lived, but it was still some distance away. The wind blew over from that side, bringing with it a strong smell of medicine that was a bit unpleasant.
The secret guards had been trying to gather information about the disease for some time, so they were a little sensitive and their hearts skipped a beat when they smelled the medicine.
He quietly went up to the roof.
But there was a thick layer of snow on the roof now, and if he was not careful, a piece of snow would fall off, so he didn't dare to get too close.
Just as I was thinking about how to meet Prince Xiao, I saw a servant with his mouth and nose covered with cloth, coming out with a large bowl. The way he held the bowl was a bit strange, with his hand stretched out wide, and the hand holding the bowl was also cushioned with cloth, as if he was very disgusted and afraid to touch the bowl.
As soon as he got it to the yard, he immediately threw the bowl into the snowpile and quickly kicked the snow with his feet to bury the bowl.
this--
A woman outside called out through the door, "Master, has the prince taken the medicine?"
The servant who was burying the bowl shook his head, "He vomited most of it!"
