107 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Miao Gu
byAfter lunch, Xie Ciyan took Yan Zhaozhao to the dragon carriage together. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the Xuanji Hall, the most remote place in the palace.
Because it is too remote, no one lives in the Xuanji Palace, so naturally no one cleans it.Yesterday, the deposed emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted in the Jinluan Palace, but this did not arouse any concern from the courtiers, and they even stood by and watched.Xie Ciyan ordered people to carry him down and move him to a more remote palace, and then invited the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him.
The imperial doctor came to report this morning, but said that the deposed emperor’s heart pulse was damaged, which caused him to vomit blood and faint when he was emotionally excited. However, after diagnosis and treatment, it was impossible to know why he had damaged his heart pulse and remained unconscious.
When Xie Ciyan and Yan Zhaozhao arrived at the Xuanji Palace together, there were only two guards with swords guarding the door, but when they walked inside, it was desolate.There was no grass growing in the courtyard, the ground was covered with dust, and there was not even a single figure of a palace maid or eunuch. It was even a bit more deserted than the cold palace.
In the hall, the deposed emperor was still wearing the dragon robe, lying motionless on the relatively clean couch. There was indeed not even a trace of blood on his face, and if you looked closely, there was still a little bit of black and blue.When the imperial doctor saw the new emperor arriving, he immediately knelt down and said hello in a panic.”Your Majesty, I wish you all the best. I hope you will forgive me for being far away.” He caught a glimpse of the woman at the end of his eyes. She was the queen who had just been deposed. Now that he saw the two of them acting so intimately, he didn’t know what to call her.
While the imperial doctor was still making preparations, Xie Ciyan raised his hand to signal him to stand up.”How is he?”
It was not that he had not noticed the hesitation on the imperial doctor’s face, but as far as he was concerned, Yan Zhaozhao was no longer a concubine in the deposed emperor’s harem, nor was she an abandoned concubine who was unjustly accused and thrown into the cold palace.He wanted his Zhaozhao to be called his queen Xie Ciyan next time, the mother of a country who justifiably accepted everyone’s kneeling worship.
“Back to the emperor, he…has been unconscious. I have drank a lot of decoctions, but there is no improvement. This…I am at a loss for the moment.” After saying this, the imperial doctor was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Most people in the palace are now afraid of the newly succeeded emperor. He was already a man of iron and blood when he was the regent. Now he has the ability to overthrow the entire dynasty overnight, so they can’t help but feel afraid.
But the emperor in front of him only lightly nodded his head and asked him to leave first, without even a scolding.The imperial doctor couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment. He must know that the previous emperor always beat and scolded their group of courtiers. Whenever Long was displeased, he would take the opportunity to scold them to vent his anger.Seeing Xie Ciyan’s calm appearance now, the imperial doctor suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It took him a moment to react from his dazed mood, and he hurriedly bowed respectfully to the emperor before retreating.
Xie Ciyan didn’t know that a very normal move had bought him a loyal heart that was willing to serve him.
“He…what’s going on?” Yan Zhaozhao didn’t know what happened in the Jinluan Palace last night. Seeing Hunjun looking like he was about to die, Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but become more curious.
Xie Ciyan first raised his index finger to his mouth, and then blew the whistle.Immediately, dust was flying outside the hall, as if someone jumped out of the Xuanji Hall at an extremely fast speed.
He looked around, took a clean chair and put it aside, pulling Yan Zhaozhao to sit down.”Zhaozhao, sit down first and I’ll talk to you slowly.”
Yan Zhaozhao did not refuse and sat down.Xie Ciyan stood beside her with his hands folded, telling her everything that happened in the Jinluan Palace last night as if telling a story.
In his opinion, it was no coincidence that the deposed emperor vomited blood and fainted in the Jinluan Palace last night. Maybe there was something behind the matter that was not that simple.He couldn’t help but associate the deposed emperor with the sudden death of the Queen Mother. He had a vague feeling that the two events must be related.
After Yan Zhaozhao heard this, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of schadenfreude and sarcasm.Now that the deposed emperor has ended up like this, she is naturally happy. Over the years since entering the palace, she has suffered countless grievances, and it is thanks to him that she can not hate him.
“Isn’t he looking bad? Why do you still need to invite an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him?” She was a little puzzled. Xie Ciyan had been the regent for many years and had already established a firm foothold in the court. Now that he was enthroned and proclaimed emperor, it was more justified and the people’s support. Even if the deposed emperor died in the Xuanji Palace, no courtiers would even bother to say a word. They could just add a title at will and be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Why bother to hire an imperial physician so much.
Xie Ciyan stroked her hair gently to express comfort.”I suspect that his coma due to vomiting blood is not simple. It may be related to the previous death of the Queen Mother.”
Yan Zhaozhao suddenly shrank her pupils and raised her eyes to meet his gaze, “Are you telling the truth?!” The death of the Queen Mother had been lingering in her mind for a long time. She wanted to find out the person behind the scenes all the time, but she was in the cold palace and spoke softly, so she had no chance to find out the truth.
Now, after hearing about the Queen Mother, the resentment of being wronged surged up again, and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
Xie Ciyan put her fist into her big palm, and a steady stream of heat energy was continuously transmitted. The restless anger in her heart also calmed down slightly, and her slightly stiff body relaxed a lot.
“Don’t worry, Zhao Zhao, this is just my guess.” He bent down and looked at Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes, his eyes full of tenderness, as if he was silently telling her that he was there for everything.”Right now we need to find out why he vomited blood and fainted.”
But just now the imperial doctor said there was nothing he could do, how could he find out?Just when Yan Zhaozhao was about to ask how to check, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.When he looked up, he saw no one.
Xie Ciyan stood up straight and suddenly said to the outside of the palace: “Bring people in.” As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard wearing black clothes outside the palace led an energetic old man inside. The old man was dressed in commoner clothes. He was nearly sixty years old but not at all senile. He carried a huge medicine box on his back and walked in slowly with his back straightened.
After bringing the imperial doctor into the palace, the secret guard bowed silently to Xie Ciyan and then quietly disappeared without a trace again.When the imperial doctor saw Xie Ciyan, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Just as he was about to kneel down and salute, the man helped him up with quick eyes and hands.”Doctor Shen doesn’t need to be polite.”
Yan Zhaozhao also stood up, his suspicious eyes lingering on the two of them.
“This is the imperial physician in our army. He has excellent medical skills, so I invited him here for diagnosis and treatment.”
When Yan Zhaozhao heard this, she knelt down and saluted Dr. Shen in front of her.The imperial doctor bowed his forehead and then sat on the edge of the bed to take the pulse of the ugly-faced deposed emperor.
After a while, Doctor Shen frowned slightly. After putting down the deposed emperor’s hand, he raised his hand to prop up his eyelids and looked at his bloodshot and turbid pupils.
He was enlightened, and his expression was much more solemn than before.Imperial Physician Shen stood up and said to Xie Ciyan, “This person didn’t vomit blood and fainted for no reason.”
“Why is that?” Although I had already expected that the deposed emperor’s fainting was not a simple matter, after Doctor Shen confirmed it, he still couldn’t help but feel a shiver in his heart.
“He had Miaojiang poison in his body, and it was the poison that backfired, causing him to vomit blood and fall into a coma.”
