Chapter 5: True Sickness (1)
Prince Xin suddenly became seriously ill, and this news caused a sensation in Kaifeng, especially the absurd King Xin was as obsessed with carpenter skills as his brother. His amazing talent had already made the people of Kaifeng amazed, and suddenly his reputation surpassed the Zhou Palace, which had been in Kaifeng for more than two hundred years. Then he issued an edict to go to Beijing. However, he had not yet arrived, but the people were seriously ill before the imperial edict arrived. He heard that he had recovered and suddenly became seriously ill in less than a month. The famous doctors in Kaifeng Palace invited him to consult, but they all shook their heads and sighed.
For a time, rumors spread everywhere in Kaifeng Prefecture. Some said that they believed that the prince was overly indulged in lust, some said that they had greed and had a disease of greed, and some said that they were evil. Anyway, there were all kinds of versions. The most fundamental point was that they could not believe in the prince!
Li Yongzhen and the Imperial Doctor Jia, who had just arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture, were shocked when they heard the news. Li Yongzhen was fine. He just came to send an order to King Xin and gave some tonics. Doctor Jia was in trouble. If he could not cure King Xin's disease, he would have to fall to the ground. He knew his medical skills. If he had not relied on the big tree of Wei Zhongxian, he would not have known that he would have bought his dog skin plaster in the corner and alley? If King Xin was really treated by him, his head would have been dead in the end!
"Eunuch Li, let's wait a few days before going there. Anyway, it's normal to delay some time on the way." Jia Zheng begged Li Yongzhen and said.
"Doctor Jia, how can this be done? If the emperor knows that we deliberately delayed our time and did not treat King Xin, if King Xin really had a shortcoming, not only your head would fall to the ground, our family would be in danger of life!" Li Yongzhen was also quite panicked. He was secretly inspired by Wei Zhongxian. This trip not only wanted to find out whether King Xin was really sick, but also to explore the virtual and real things of the King Xin’s garden. It can be said that he had a fake task, so how dare he be negligent.
"Then Eunuch Li, what should we do?" Jia Zheng looked at Li Yongzhen anxiously and asked.
Li Yongzhen calmed down and said, "Since many famous doctors in Kaifeng Prefecture have been diagnosed by Xinwang Mansion, we guess Xinwang may be really seriously ill. You can go over and confirm it carefully tomorrow, and then prescribe a prescription for a big tonic. Don't forget the real purpose of our trip!"
When Jia Zheng heard this, his bent waist immediately stretched out and said, "Don't worry, my father-in-law, the official will definitely not ruin the factory's major affairs."
"It's good to know, you go out first." Li Yongzhen drove Jia Zheng out of his room. Wang Shaowei, who was hiding in the dark, immediately ran out. This was the official post and Wang Shaowei's jurisdiction. Naturally, he could come over to see Li Yongzhen without knowing it.
"How is that waste really sick?" Li Yongzhen asked Wang Shaowei, who was standing behind him with his hands hanging down.
"The officials and officials asked in secretly several doctors who went to the palace to treat the emperor, and confirmed that the emperor was indeed intractable to treat it." Wang Shaowei replied respectfully.
"What happened to Jinyiwei and the secret spies from the East Factory? Can a seriously ill person do such a thing?" Li Yongzhen suddenly became louder.
Wang Shaowei suddenly felt wet on his forehead, obviously nervous and sweating coldly. He replied carefully: "According to the speculation of the Xiaguan, the people in the Wangwang Mansion did not know that they were being monitored by the Jinyiwei and the East Factory. It is estimated that they might really treat them as robbers, so..."
"Absurd, if you were to be a scout for the thief in the Yangtze River, why did the Jinyiwei and our people be caught by others? This is obviously premeditated." Li Yongzhen scolded sternly.
"Dadfather-in-law, not everyone was captured. In fact, there were two other people who were not caught. One of them was Zhang Chunwu, a hundred household of the Jinyiwei, and the other was also an Jinyiwei." Wang Shaowei hurriedly defended.
"Enthian Yiwei?" Li Yongzhen's eyes shot with resentful eyes. No wonder he was so angry. This time, the people who came to Kaifeng to monitor the Xinwang Sect were all his subordinates. They were arrested and sent back. Wei Zhongxian scolded him for a bloody spurt, especially the Enthian Yiwei took the lead and the evil people complained first, pushing all the responsibilities on his head. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian sent him to come here to make meritorious contributions. Now he knows that it is not the entire army, and there are still people who escape. Moreover, these two people are the Enthian Yiwei. In this way, he has believed Wang Shaowei's words by 80%, and he sneered: "We know, go back first, pay attention to the secret whereabouts!"
"The official understands." Wang Shaowei reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, put on a hood and left the station.
Zhu Yinglong knew if he was sick, he had nowhere to hide in front of the doctor. He couldn't find someone to pretend to be himself, because there was also an eunuch Li Yongzhen. This person was very familiar with him and could not deceive him, so he had to use a bitter meat trick. In order to be realistic in acting, Zhu Yinglong hid it and took out the ice cubes hidden from the cellar before the New Year, put it in the bucket, then filled it with cold water, and poured another bucket with hot water, soaked it in the ice water, and then soaked it in the hot water. In this way, the cold and heat alternated.
It would be easy for Yinglong to not fall down. He had a high fever that night, which scared Zhou Yingning and other women. Sun Chengzong and others were also scared. Why did the good people suddenly fall ill? The whole palace was in chaos. Fortunately, it did not affect the villa. Otherwise, Zhu Yinglong would not know how to deal with it even if he told the truth. In the plan, he planned to tell Shi Kefa before falling down, and let them try their best to stabilize the situation. However, he overestimated his resistance and fell down and became unconscious. How could he have the chance to tell them!
After a day and night of sleep, Zhu Yinglong finally survived and slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Zhou Yingning and other women who were lying beside the bed, crying and swollen with their eyes, he couldn't help but feel a deep guilt. But if he didn't hide it from them, how could he hide it from Li Yongzhen? Therefore, he could only say sorry to them in his heart. After taking a few sips of the medicine soup, he actually saw that Xiong Hu's eyes were also red, and he couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that she was not completely forgot about him.
"Xianzhi, Xianzhi..." Zhu Yinglong called out with his greatest strength.
The room was so quiet that everyone could hear it very clearly. Even Shi Kefa, who was the farthest away, heard it all at once. He hurriedly walked to the couch and said excitedly: "Prince, the student is here, what do you have to say to the student?"
"Come here!"
"Xianzhi, in fact, I..." Zhu Yinglong told him intermittently how he used the bitter meat scheme to be really sick, and asked him to cooperate with Sun Chengzong to try his best to stabilize the villa and never be confused.
After hearing this, Shi Kefa was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He never thought that King Xin was seriously ill and he actually made it himself. The purpose was to deceive the eunuchs. At the same time, he was deeply shocked by King Xin's perseverance. Even if he could do it, he would hesitate. If he wanted to deceive others, he would have to deceive his own people first. He would probably find it difficult for him to reach this level in his life.
