Chapter 378 Things are not as important as people

"Empress! Empress! Something bad

has happened!" The prince had just been carried to sleep by Nanny Lu and Nanny Xiang when a sharp cry broke out outside the house: "Xiao Xiangzi... Eunuch Xiao Xiangzi has an accident."

Jiang Xinyue was refilling tea for the emperor. When she heard this, her hands trembled. She immediately put down the teapot, picked up the hem of her skirt and walked out very quickly.

The emperor felt as if Xiao Xiangzi was more important than himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly got up and followed. How could he have such an illusion?

In Yue'er's heart, he is the most important person, so important that even the prince has to put him behind him.

"Someone, come quickly!"

Jiang Chuan held the dying Xiao Xiangzi in his arms and cried, "Imperial Physician... Go and get the Imperial Physician."

Xiao Xiangzi's arms were covered with blisters and large red marks from the fire, mixed with black ash, which was very scary. The clothes on his back were also soaked with blood, which was the blood from the severe head injury.

Jiang Chuan's hands and face were all covered with Xiao Xiangzi's blood.

He held Xiao Xiangzi and anxiously asked the people around him to get the Imperial Physician. Even the servants in Hexi Palace could not be neglected more than the masters in other palaces. The Imperial Hospital dared not not send someone.

Otherwise, if they offended the Empress, the entire Imperial Hospital would be in trouble.

Besides, it was rumored outside that after Hu Yuanzheng returned to his hometown, the person who replaced him was Imperial Physician Yan.

Who was Imperial Physician Yan?

He is the confidant of the Empress, a member of the Empress's party. If he offends someone in Hexi Palace, doesn't that mean he doesn't want to work in the Imperial Hospital anymore?

"Ahem..."

Xiao Xiangzi opened his eyelids weakly and called Jiang Chuan's name feebly: "Brother Chuan...you...you..."

Jiang Chuan felt that Xiao Xiangzi was leaving him a will, and he cried even harder: "Don't...don't say anything, don't...don't worry...you won't be in any trouble, I will never let you get into any trouble, don't...don't ask me to do anything for you, I won't help...you...do your own things yourself."

He cried so hard that his nose and tears flowed freely, and he was so sad that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

If the Empress had not been worried that there was a conspiracy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Xiao Xiangzi was alone and unprepared, and had not asked her to go with him to take a look, Xiao Xiangzi would have been killed for sure.

The eunuch who had knocked Xiao Xiangzi unconscious with a stick was thrown to the ground by Jiangchuan the next moment. The two wrestled in the fire scene, and in the end, Jiangchuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, had the upper hand and subdued the eunuch.

Now the eunuch who injured Xiao Xiangzi has been taken to the Suspension Department by the people brought by Jiangchuan.

The man-eating giant yellow croaker in the Suspension Department has not been eaten for a long time.

But all this cannot save Xiao Xiangzi's life.

If possible, Jiangchuan hopes that he can go earlier and save his good brother.

Xiao Xiangzi gasped in pain: "Brother Chuan... what you said is exactly what I want to say. I should do my own things by myself. So, can you put me down first... first?"

He could really get down and walk by himself.

His head was injured. He knew his own injuries well. He was not in a critical condition. At most, he had lost too much blood and his head was a little dizzy.

Being held by Jiang Chuan like this, his blood flowed faster. He thought he would be killed sooner or later.

Jiang Chuan never asked Xiao Xiangzi how he felt. He thought Xiao Xiangzi was going to die, so he picked him up and ran to Hexi Palace.

Thanks to his height and strength, he could carry the 1.65 meter tall little Potato Xiang and run so far in one breath.

At this time, Jiang Xinyue, Xi Que, Shuang Jiang and others had already walked to the front hall. They were shocked to see the two people bleeding.

After another round of chaos, Xiao Xiangzi was successfully sent back to the room where he and Jiang Chuan lived together to lie down.

He also experienced the feeling of being pampered, and the people surrounding him were the current emperor and empress.

He didn't even dare to faint.

After the imperial physician bandaged the wound on his head, he pricked the blisters on his arm, wrapped them with herbs, and prescribed medicine for him before leaving.

The emperor couldn't wait any longer: "What's going on? You are a member of the harem, who dares to lay hands on you?"

Are you trying to kill yourself?

Xiao Xiangzi wanted to speak, but his eyes went dark and he felt exhausted, so he couldn't make a sound.

Jiang Chuan quickly explained for him: "To answer the emperor's question, when I arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Xiangzi was trying to rescue the walnut oil that the Crown Prince ate in the burning warehouse, but a young eunuch attacked him from behind and hit him on the head, causing blood to flow. I finally rescued him, but... the walnut oil was all burned." Not

only that?

A young eunuch named Xiao Shunzi also died in the warehouse.

Jiang Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief: "You did a great job. Things are more important than people. And they were afraid that Xiao Xiangzi would rescue the things, so they were in such a hurry to destroy the evidence. It has been proved that all the oils have been replaced with peanut oil. There is nothing to check. It is a problem in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After hearing this, the emperor's anger level soared. To harm his son under his nose, he was really asking for death.

"Where is the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? He has made a lot of money, but he didn't take any measures when something went wrong. Wang Dequan, dismiss him from his post for me, and you can pick another one from your own staff to take his place."

The original head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a man of the previous emperor, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Xinyue, so he didn't pay attention to the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This is a problem left over from history.

Just like many people think that Jiang Xinyue is the one who benefited the most after the death of the late queen, so they tacitly acknowledge that Jiang Xinyue also contributed to the death of the late queen.

If the Zhu family does not come forward to clarify this matter, the misunderstanding will always exist.

But now the Zhu family is suffering in the alley of Aizhai. If Zhu Erlang is not working hard to make money outside to help the Zhu family, the Zhu family will not be able to survive.

In fact, Wang Dequan’s best choice is to arrange Tang Shiliang to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that it can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

But he knows in his heart that Tang Shiliang’s goal is not the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the position of the chief steward, which is his current position.

If he is arranged to be the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will be a promotion for others and a good thing worth celebrating.

But for Tang Shiliang, it was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. Wang Dequan sighed and could only look for someone else who could take on the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He

had originally been training a successor for himself, but now the successor was still a successor, but he had become the Empress's man. He looked at the Empress beside Xiao Xiangzi's bed with resentment and resigned himself to making arrangements.

What should he do?

He had also received many benefits from the Empress, and he should continue to work hard for the Crown Prince!

After all, the Empress was a good person and would not mistreat her own people.
