Chapter 334: The Soul Demands the Heart Door 1
"Your Highness!!!"

Seeing this, Lan Xue and Bai Xue were horrified!The two joined forces to try to stop the prince! !

"Ahhhhhhh—let go of me! I'll teach you to come out!! Come out!!!"

"Brother Prince." King Xing, who rushed over after hearing about the incident, heard the screams in the palace before he even stepped into the palace gate, "Brother Prince!" It's raining bricks! "The Twelve Emperors!! Come here! Come here—"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" helpless Qi Jin hugged her head in the rain and cried, "It's all my fault huh huh. It's all my fault. Come out"

Hearing the summons, the entourage who followed King Xing stepped forward and opened their oil umbrellas to shield everyone from the cold and merciless rain.

"Lan Xue, Bai Xue!" Seeing his elder brother's emotional collapse, King Xing picked up his younger brother and ordered, "Hurry up and take the prince brother back to the East Palace! Leave the rest to Xiao Wang!"

When Lan Xue and Bai Xue heard this, they dragged and swayed to help the lost prince out, and went straight to the East Palace!

"Go back to Qingque Palace!"

King Xing saw the prince going away, and with the help of the palace attendants, he brought his younger brother back to his palace all the way.

In Qingque Palace, Concubine Li waited anxiously.Hearing that the crown prince punished him by kneeling, she originally wanted to intercede with His Majesty, but because she didn't know the ins and outs, she had to ask King Xing to have a look first.

"It's so cold. Why is it raining harder and harder?" She couldn't help but sigh with emotion after seeing her son return for a while. All right."

"Mother and concubine!" King Xing stepped into the palace gate with his younger brother in his arms, calling for his mother's help!
When Concubine Li saw the unconscious Twelfth Prince, she was startled: "What's going on? Hurry up! Tell the imperial physician!!"

"Yes!"

The footsteps of the palace people came and went in disorder, and the Qingque Palace fell into chaos for a while.

In the courtyard, the raindrops hit the cold branches and leaves like stones, causing a mess.
King Xing looked at the palace servants and imperial physician who were busy, and remembered the helpless appearance of the prince's elder brother today, and he couldn't help calling: "Second emperor brother, come back quickly."

East Palace.

Qijin didn't know how he got back to the inner courtyard, the moment he fell into the mattress, he had completely lost consciousness, because he was drenched in cold rain, and right now, he was having a high fever.
"Your Highness!" Lan Xue's eyes were red, worrying while channeling her inner strength, "Your Highness, wake up."

While replacing the forehead kerchief for the prince, Bai Xue choked up and said, "Sister, Your Highness, what he... just said, is it the master?"

"Master said," Lan Xue tried her best to control her emotions, and said in a slow voice, "His Highness's illness is extremely rare. According to our observation, the master and His Highness should not know each other, but how to say, they share the same body. What will happen? all unpredictable"

"His Royal Highness actually called Master on his own initiative" Bai Xue couldn't hold back because of her sadness, and let the tears fall down. He slowly stretched out his hand, but firmly grasped the prince's sleeve, "Your Highness, you can't lose to him, you can't lose." what."

The sound of the rain outside the window was crackling, and the cold wind was blowing, which seemed to turn the raindrops into snowflakes.
Qi Jin was lying on the bed with thick quilts, but he felt like an ice cave, the chill emanating from the bone marrow enveloped him, and the uncontrollable trembling was like his mind, swaying from side to side, unable to stop.
Across the sea of ​​consciousness, he stands alone, and the place is already white.
The cold wind swishes, blowing the crystal snowflakes one after another, like the hair that turned gray overnight, looming
Qijin raised her eyes nonchalantly, looking at the white expanse blankly.
Snowflakes, large and small, fluttered leisurely and landed on his bun. The moment the snowflakes touched and melted, the piece of hair contaminated by it gradually changed until it became pure white and flawless.
A few snowflakes fell one after another, and a gust of wind blew by, blowing Qi Jin's all white hair.
And he just stood there in a daze, letting the snowflakes that followed one after another dye his robe white.

"I am a broom star, and I harm others wherever I go. Mojiazhuang was destroyed because of me, those guards died because of me, brother Duan lost his mother because of me. People I like, I dare not like, but people I hate, I can't." don't ask him for help"

"Hehe~" As Qi Jin became more and more sinking and numb, there were strands of dumb laughter that surrounded the audience in the pure white world, the laughter was vague but full of pride. "Hahaha~"

With the layer upon layer of laughter, the snow blocks at Qi Jin’s feet are solidifying into ice, and they grow and “climb” up Qi Jin’s legs little by little, and stretch and “pull” Qi Jin’s hands
But lonely and helpless, he still looked indifferent and his eyes were absent-minded.What's the point now, an incompetent and cowardly person like him should have gone to see his mother and concubine long ago.
"Yes, concubine mother, the child should have gone to see you a long time ago. Concubine mother, the child is here now."

As the creaking sound of solidified ice came to an end, Qi Jin's weak voice was also swallowed up, leaving only Qi Zheng grinning in the sky. In just this moment, the whole world turned from white to black in the blink of an eye, transforming into a boundless world. black hole.
After a stick of incense, when the emperor learned that his two sons were sick and was going to visit, he was scolded by the queen mother.

"Jin'er and Duan'er, Ai's family has seen them, they are both suffering from high fever, and the imperial doctor is watching over them. Emperor, why do you have the heart to let them kneel in the rain for so long. Hey." The Queen Mother knew the reason, she calmed down, He said earnestly, "No matter what the emperor wants to do, the most important thing now is to calm things down, and other things can be figured out slowly."

"What the mother said is..." the emperor lowered his eyes and said humbly, "The son just hopes that the crown prince can hey. The son also feels distressed."

"Emperor." The queen mother took one of her son's hands and said earnestly, "The Ai family has no right to ask how the emperor wants to deal with this incident, but! The whole palace cannot be shrouded in depression. Jin'er is really young. He is not too young, the emperor should have found him a concubine long ago, why not take this opportunity to pardon the world."

Hearing this, the emperor thought about it for a while, and replied: "...my son understands."

Later, out of concern, the emperor went to Qingque Palace and East Palace to visit his two sons in person.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment, the twelve princes have recovered and are sleeping deeply.On the contrary, the prince's situation was always repeated, talking in sleep and delirium, and speaking incomprehensible words.

Seeing this, the emperor was very distressed. He wondered if he was pushing too hard. Uneasy, he decided to keep watch in the East Palace for a while.

And as soon as he finished twisting the quilt for his eldest son, he heard that Eunuch Liu came to report that Deng Shangshu asked to see him.

"Let him go back." The emperor waved his hand knowing what the other party was asking for.

"Yes." After Eunuch Liu agreed, he left the East Palace and asked Eunuch Tong Chuan to reject Deng Shangshu.

The cold rain was lingering and intermittent, making the sky darker and darker. After a busy day, in the evening, the twelve princes had already recovered from their fever and were clamoring to see the emperor. They continued to intercede for Concubine Qi. It was easy to stop.

But the prince was still groggy and didn't wake up.

The busyness of the Imperial Hospital more or less reached the ears of Imperial Doctor Huang.With Xiu Mu at home, he had to be thankful that he hadn't entered the palace these few days, so he could escape this muddy water, but why did his daughter come back with a sad face.
"Daughter." Doctor Huang came to her daughter's courtyard, and saw her daughter sitting alone in the small pavilion blowing the cold wind, "It's cold outside, why don't you go inside?"

"My daughter has met her father." Huang Ruoyu leaned forward lightly, lowering her gaze and not daring to look at each other.
"I heard that Eunuch Chou has passed away." Imperial Physician Huang opened the topic and asked, "Did you see that Eunuch yesterday?"

"Chou little eunuch is gone?" Huang Ruoyu was a little surprised when he heard the news, "Yesterday, my daughter checked his pulse, and it was a heat evil upper body, so I used some blood-cooling and qi-cooling medicine, how could it be?"

"Hey, it's because of your inexperience, daughter." Huang Taiyi explained, "The heat is evil in the upper body, and it develops after a long time. If the medicine for clearing away heat and detoxification is not enough, it can only suppress the superficial symptoms. The patient seems to be cured. , but in fact it is just a suspension. And if the dosage is overdone, the two forces of the medicine will collide in the body, which is also a kind of torture for the patient and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, this situation should be constantly monitored, and the dosage and type of medicine should be adjusted at any time. "

"Daughter has been educated." After hearing this, Huang Ruoyu finally understood, and said angrily, "It's because my daughter's medical skills are not good enough, which caused the little father-in-law to die."

"Everyone has his own fate." Imperial Physician Huang said with emotion, "You don't have to blame yourself, he already has injuries on his body, and he needs to rest and recuperate. If he doesn't want to, he will be involved in the troubles in the East Palace." After sighing, he saw his daughter fell into silence, Asked, "You're so out of your mind, but are you worried about the one in the East Palace?" Seeing that the other party seemed to agree, he continued to persuade, "I heard that His Highness was punished today and got caught in the rain. He had a fever and fell into a coma for a day. The hospital is very busy. It's time to pay, you'd better not enter the palace in the near future."

"Your Highness is sick?" Huang Ruoyu grasped the key point and asked nervously, "I saw you were fine when you entered the palace today, why did you have a fever and fell into a coma for a day?"

"." Doctor Huang saw that his daughter did not listen to his persuasion at all, so he might as well not mention the matter of the East Palace!
"My daughter wants to visit His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Majesty won't allow her to enter the palace." Huang Ruoyu begged, "Father, please enter the palace and give your daughter a message. Just say that your daughter cares about His Highness and wants to visit the East Palace."

"Your Majesty won't let you enter the palace." Imperial Physician Huang looked sad, trying to figure out the holy meaning, "Recently, the East Palace has been experiencing constant ups and downs, and His Majesty is protecting you!" He wished that his daughter would not have to enter the palace, and would not have to be associated with the crown prince.Seeing that the other party still wanted to beg, he persuaded him kindly, "Daughter, listen to the father, don't think about entering the palace in the near future, take care of yourself, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, you don't have to worry."

"But. Father"

"Go back to the room and rest." Imperial Physician Huang turned to leave, "I will let you know when Your Highness gets better, so you don't want to do this!" After speaking, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left the small pavilion.

Huang Ruoyu was left alone to mourn in the cold rain and wind.
The next day, the sky was still gloomy. After the emperor came down to court, he learned that the prince's condition had stabilized, but he hadn't woken up yet. When he was about to visit him, he didn't want Deng Shangshu to lead the prime minister and Hong Shangshu on the way to the East Palace.

The emperor knew that he couldn't hide, so he let everyone into the Hall of Qinzheng.

The prime minister is responsible for monitoring, and feels that there are many strange things about the East Palace, and it should not be so arbitrary. Just saying where the corpse came from is a big question.

Master Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of the etiquette system in the palace. Concubine Qi has been deprived of her title, so he also needs to check and confirm many times.

Not to mention Deng Shangshu, his sister suffered for no reason, and he has exhausted all the good and bad things he can say!
"Don't talk about it." The emperor felt a pain in his head. He looked at Deng Shangshu with scrutiny, and ordered, "Tell Deng Qi."

Concubine Qi, who was locked in the sky prison, heard the summons and felt mixed feelings. When she came to the Qinzheng Hall and saw her eldest brother, she felt relieved.But when she saw the other two, her heart tightened again, and she swallowed back the word "wronged" that she was about to blurt out!
"What else do you want to say about the remains of corpses and medicine men?" The emperor's voice came from afar, coldly, "Is Deng Shangshu also involved in this matter?"

When Deng Juli heard this, he immediately plopped and knelt down!
"!" Concubine Qi looked in the direction where her elder brother was, exerted pressure from many sources, and after some struggles, she gritted her teeth, bowed and prostrated, "Your Majesty has clearly noticed that my concubine's elder brother has never participated in it."

"Then Deng Shangshu frequently visited the palace before, why?" The emperor's eyes were calm, his tone was still cold, he felt that the origin of the corpse should be related to Deng Shangshu.

Hearing this, Concubine Qi sneered self-deprecatingly: "Brother frequently visits the palace to persuade the concubine. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the maids of the Palace of Joy. No matter what happens, it's all done by the concubine alone. Your Majesty is clearly aware of it! "

"." Regarding Concubine Qi's straightforward confession, the emperor felt very puzzled, "Where did the corpse come from?"

Concubine Qi thought about it, and couldn't add another crime of disrupting the palace: "Whether it's a corpse or a medicine man, does it matter where it comes from?"

Hearing this, the emperor shot cold eyes!I don't want Concubine Qi to meet his eyes without fear!
The two confronted each other silently!Anger and blame, resentment and blame are all turned into gunpowder and artillery invisibly!

In the end, Concubine Qi gave in and kowtowed: "This matter was done by the concubine alone. I hope that your majesty will not implicate others. I also hope that your majesty will treat Duan'er kindly. The concubine is willing to plead guilty. From then on, the concubine will no longer Open your mouth and let His Majesty handle it."

"Sister." Deng Shangshu originally thought that his intercession would bring a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly, his sister confessed all the guilt! "If you tell His Majesty the truth, His Majesty will definitely"

Before the words fell, Deng Chen looked back at his brother with tears in his eyes, showing a meaningful and grievance expression.
Deng Shangshu suddenly fell silent. He roughly understood that with his younger sister's character, the disturbance in the East Palace might have something to do with it.
For the sake of the twelve princes, he had to abandon his younger sister and the pain of his loved ones. The pain was so deep: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything else." I beg Your Majesty to be merciful to that!!!"

"Your Majesty." Due to many doubts, the prime minister and Hong Shangshu acted in sync, and were about to speak out, but His Majesty stretched out his hand to stop them!

"Take Deng Qi down and wait to see what happens." The emperor knew that there was something wrong with it, so he was not in a hurry to convict Concubine Qi, and only took him into custody first. "I'll talk about other things later, I want to see the prince!"

After saying that, the emperor watched the guards take Concubine Qi away, and before the others finished their salutes, he quickly left the Qinzheng Palace and headed straight for the East Palace!
In the East Palace, the imperial physicians had been busy and worried all night, and finally saw the prince waking up at noon.

As soon as the prince opened his eyes, he turned his head to look at everything around him, and found that Lan Xue and Bai Xuehong were looking at him.

"Your Highness!" The siblings shouted overjoyed, "You're awake!"

The prince's eyes were calm, and he didn't feel the weight of his body until he got up. He silently cursed a worthless word, lifted the quilt and crossed his legs, and with a burst of internal strength, it took only a moment, and the typhoid fever left by the rain was healed!

"Your Highness." Seeing this, the imperial physicians stepped forward to feel the pulse.

"Get out!" Qi Zheng opened his eyes, and shot them coldly!Those imperial doctors were all panicked!
I have heard that the crown prince doesn't like the imperial doctor, but I didn't expect to be so disliked, and I don't know how the Huang doctor girl survived
"!" Seeing the situation, Lan Xue and Bai Xue couldn't help but look at each other. This is the master, not His Highness!
"I told you to go away, don't you understand?!"

Seeing this, the imperial physicians resigned one after another obediently, and walked out of the East Palace with a rustle, only Lan Xue and Bai Xue were left waiting in the inner hall.
Qi Zheng looked at the disappearing figure, got off the bed in disdain, and after stretching his muscles and bones, he looked in the direction of the secret room and asked, "How is the medicine man?"

On the corridor of the imperial palace, the emperor was taking Eunuch Liu to the East Palace. When he didn't want to go halfway, he saw a group of imperial doctors coming towards him with tired faces and dejected faces.
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting to see you." The imperial doctors found that the emperor was standing opposite, and saluted one after another.

"How is the prince?"

"Return to Your Majesty, when I waited for you to come out, the prince had already woken up and his face was bright."

Hearing this, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted him: "The imperial physicians have worked hard, let's all go down and rest."

As soon as the task was over, a group of imperial physicians bowed and gave in one after another, and waited until the emperor was far away before they calmed down and prepared to go back to the residence to take a good rest.

The Palace of Qinzheng is some distance away from the East Palace, and while the emperor was walking, Qizheng had already heard Lan Xue and Bai Xue briefly report the recent events.

"So, we went back to the capital directly from Mingzhou, while King Yi'an and the princess went to the southern border." Qizheng chuckled evilly while admiring the tea pet, "It's been a few days of peace and happiness since we came back. In the end, the emperor thought that the medicine man came from the Palace of Joy, so he put her directly in the sky prison, and that wimp, oh no, it was the palace who wanted to save the shrew, so he ended up in trouble so miserable"

Lan Xue and Bai Xue lowered their eyes, not daring to say anything
"Such a good time~" Qi Zheng rolled his eyes at the two people who were lying on the ground, and chuckled again, "Of course we must eradicate dissidents!" go out!

"Where is master going?!" Lan Xue and Bai Xue didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so they anxiously followed!
"Shoot·eliminate·different·self~" Qi Zheng suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at the siblings in a hoarse voice!It looks like a ghost envoy from hell who is going to seduce souls, it's creepy!

"Master, master think twice!" Lan Xue led her younger brother to knelt down again, "Master is going here, and his behavior is inconsistent, which may arouse your majesty's suspicion."

"Whether he suspects it or not." Qi Zheng tilted his head, and said evilly, "Isn't it because he wants to save people if he wants to save people, and the emperor's old man's heart will be satisfied if he doesn't save them! Hmph! Besides, the fewer princes, the more beneficial it is to this palace~"

"!!!" Lan Xue saw that Master wanted to deal with the Twelve Princes together, so she hurriedly stopped her, "Master!"

"Why are you panicking?" Qi Zheng, who was just about to turn around, lowered his eyeliner coldly!Forcibly blocked back what the other party wanted to say!
For a while, the hall was very quiet, so quiet that one could tremble. Lan Xue and Bai Xue didn't dare to disobey their master, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
At this time, the emperor arrived!

"Hmph!" Hearing the pass, Qi Zheng snorted, but the moment he turned around, he put away all his evil spirits, lowered his eyes, showing a trace of sadness
