The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The death of Princess Dai did not cause any disturbance in the capital.However, her death is not a good thing for the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

The Xuanping Hou Mansion loved the eldest daughter very much, and the eldest daughter passed away at a young age, which dealt a great blow to him, making him ten years old in an instant.

The Concubine Dai is intelligent and filial, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion can have the glory it has today, and it is also due to her credit.

Xuan Ping Hou often said that Dai Wangfei was the most like Rong Guifei. This did not mean that they looked alike, but that they were equally intelligent.

Concubine Dai grew up beside Concubine Rong, and was deeply influenced by Concubine Rong. She acts in the style of Concubine Rong.However, she is a little more delicate than Concubine Rong.It is precisely because of this delicacy that she can always detect Dai Wang's emotions.

She is very good at talking, and she can always persuade the angry Dai Wang to calm down.Both Xuan Pinghou and Concubine Rong were worried that Dai Wang was gone, who could persuade Dai Wang.

Dai Wang's temper is a little irritable, he is more anxious to do things, and he is also a little stubborn.When the temper comes, he will become stubborn, and it is difficult to listen to other people's persuasion, only Dai Wangfei's words can he listen to.

If you compare Dai Wang to a wild and unruly wild horse, then Dai Wangfei is the leash that restrains Dai Wang's wild horse.Now, this leash is gone, who else will restrain the king.

The death of Dai Wangfei was also a great blow to Dai Wang.During this period of time, he seemed to have lost his soul, not to mention going to court, even eating without appetite.

Concubine Rong was very worried about the acting king, so she asked the emperor for an order to go out of the palace to visit and persuade her son.

Dai Wang was too sad to listen to anyone's persuasion for the time being.

Concubine Rong had no choice but to hug her grandson, which cheered up Dai Wang.

In order to save the princess, the king invited 81 eminent monks to chant scriptures for the princess for seven to seven days.

When the people saw that Dai Wang was so affectionate to Dai Wangfei, they all praised him as a good husband.For this reason, he won a good reputation among the people.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness Dai Wang is deliberately pretending to be affectionate." Tong Xi did not believe that His Royal Highness Dai Wang had deep affection for Dai Wang Concubine.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yao thought that when they went to mourn, he saw the sad look of Dai Wang, and he felt that Dai Wang didn't look like he was pretending. "Dai Wang and Dai Wang grew up together, childhood sweethearts, their relationship should be very good."

"Really?" Tong Xi looked suspicious, "Your Highness, would someone like Dai Wang be affectionate?" He couldn't imagine Dai Wang being as affectionate as in the storybook, it was too scary.

Zhao Yao cast a sideways glance at Tong Xi, and said, "Why can't Dai Wang have deep affection?"

Tong Xi said: "I always feel very strange."

"It's nothing strange." Zhao Yao said, raised his hands and stretched, then crossed his hands and hugged his head, walking lazily.

"Your Highness, the acting princess is gone, will the other princess become the successor princess?"

"No, Marquis Xuan Ping and Concubine Rong will not agree." Zhao Yao guessed, "It is estimated that the younger sister of the acting princess will be the successor princess."

Tong Xi exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this just like the empress?" After the former empress died of illness, her younger sister, who is now the empress, married the emperor as his successor.

"Yeah, it's the same as the empress..." At this point, Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something, and his expression became very strange in an instant.

Tong Xi saw that something was wrong with Zhao Yao's expression, so he hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"You said just now that you are the same as the empress, what is the same?"

Tong Xi felt that Zhao Yao's question was a bit strange, but he still answered honestly: "Isn't the empress also the queen's younger sister, because the empress died of illness, and the empress married the emperor now, and now the Daiwangfei died of illness, the younger sister of the Daiwangfei Do you want to marry His Royal Highness Dai Wang as the successor princess?"

"That's it." Zhao Yao had a scary guess in his mind, but he quickly denied it. He felt that he was thinking too much.

Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao's face changed back and forth, with expressions of horror, shock, and denial for a while.He couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was thinking too much." He had a very scary thought just now.Really, how could he have such a horrible idea.

"Your Highness, what were you worried about just now?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Zhao Yao said, "It's getting late, go back quickly."

Zhao Yao came back from the fourth prince.Like two years ago, he would go to the fourth prince to learn something every night.In the past, I learned Li's characters from the fourth prince.A year ago, he learned all the Li family characters.

The fourth prince saw that he was about to become a king when he became an adult, and he was going to leave the capital to part with Zhao Yao, so he wanted to teach Zhao Yao as much as possible before leaving.This is the reason why Zhao Yao went to study with the fourth prince every night after learning Li's characters.

Zhao Yao didn't want to learn, but he saw that the fourth prince wanted him to learn, and thought that the fourth prince was also worried about him, so he couldn't refuse the fourth prince's painstaking efforts.

Halfway there, when he heard a strange sound, Tong Xi jumped up in fright and almost screamed.

Zhao Yao looked at Tong Xi who was hiding behind him speechlessly, and said helplessly in his tone: "It seems that someone is calling, what are you afraid of?"

"Your Highness, is it really a human?"

Zhao Yao didn't bother to talk to Tong Xi, and walked over curiously following the sound, and then he saw an unsightly scene.

"Your Highness, don't look." Tong Xi was a step late, but still covered Zhao Yao's eyes.

Zhao Yao scolded himself in his heart, he was curious about what to do, now it's all right, seeing the hot eye scene, it must be a needle's eye.

Just when Tong Xi was about to take Zhao Yao to leave, the two people in the rockery ended.At this time, he and Zhao Yao recognized who these two people were at the same time.These two people are the medical eunuch and medical woman of Tai Hospital.

"Does it make you comfortable?" the eunuch asked cheaply.

The woman glared at the eunuch coquettishly, and said, "Damn ghost, you are really getting better at it."

"If I hadn't covered your mouth in time, you would have cried out in comfort." The eunuch said proudly.

"It's not that you made it too comfortable." The woman asked, "Shall we go back now?"

"What are you doing going back in such a hurry, let's sit down and talk for a while."

"say what."

"Do you think we should tell the Dai Wang that the Dai Wangfei didn't really die of illness?"

When Zhao Yao and Tong Xi, who were hiding behind another rockery, heard this, they both had surprised expressions on their faces.

The woman lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy?"

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. If we tell King Dai that Princess Dai died of illness after taking fatal medicine, King Dai might reward us." The eunuch is the eunuch in charge of medicinal materials in the imperial hospital. , and often follow the imperial physician to visit together.He followed the imperial physician to the Prince Dai's Mansion before, so he knew the physical condition of the Princess Dai best.Later, he learned from the imperial physicians the real reason behind Dai Wangfei's illness and death.

Zhao Yao was shocked in his heart: Princess Dai died of illness after taking fatal medicine, could it be poison?

"It's not poison that Princess Dai took. You go and tell King Dai, what should you do if King Dai doesn't believe you?" The woman disapproved of the eunuch doing this, "If King Dai gets angry and kills you, what should you do?"

"I'm also afraid of this, so I dare not go to Dai Wang for a long time." The eunuch said, "Although Dai Wang didn't die of illness because of poison, she did take fatal medicine."

"Do you think there is such a medicine in this world? Could it be that the imperial doctors made a wrong diagnosis?" The woman said in disbelief, "Go and tell the king that the princess is only pregnant because she took a folk prescription for giving birth to a child." Will die, do you think Dai Wang will believe it?"

"That's what the imperial physicians said, and they are definitely not wrong." The eunuch said again, "The imperial physicians said that Dai Wangfei conceived a child after taking forbidden medicine. , and gave birth to a son, but this medicine will ruin the body."

He continued: "Originally, giving birth to a woman is like going to hell, and taking this medicine again, the Dai Wangfei will definitely not survive. The imperial doctor also said that it is already a miracle that the Dai Wangfei can delay her death for such a long time. gone."

The woman was surprised and said: "So, Dai Wangfei should have died a long time ago?"

The eunuch nodded lightly, and said: "You should die after giving birth, but the Dai Wangfei will not die until His Royal Highness catches the week."

"I advise you not to tell the king about this matter." The woman frowned and said, "When the king learns the truth about the death of the princess, he may not be happy, maybe he will be more sad and angry, and then he will really anger you ,what to do?"

The eunuch felt that what the woman said made sense, so he hesitated and said, "Then I'd better not say it."

The woman told the eunuch: "This matter will rot in your stomach, you can't tell other people."

"I'm not a fool. Telling others about this is not courting death." The eunuch said with a sigh, "I wanted to use this to make a fortune, but I didn't expect it to be impossible." Very generous, he thought about telling the king Dai the real cause of Princess Dai's illness and death, and the king might reward him a lot of money.

"Money is not important, let's live well in the palace first." One of them is a medical eunuch, and the other is a medical woman. Their status in this palace is low, and they can only live cautiously on weekdays.

"What you said is that I am obsessed with ghosts." The eunuch also wanted to get more money, so that their lives would be easier.

The woman knew what the eunuch was thinking, held his hand, and said with a very gentle expression: "I think our life is pretty good now."

Tai listened to the woman saying this, and smiled slightly: "It's getting late, we should go back."

"Ah."

The eunuch led the woman away from the rockery.

After they left for a while, Zhao Yao and Tong Xi came out.

Tong Xi said with a look of surprise: "They are Cao Wu and Xuemei from the imperial hospital." Tong Xi has a good memory and can remember the names and looks of most eunuchs and maids in the palace. "Cao Wu is the eunuch in charge of medicine in the Imperial Hospital, and Xuemei is the female doctor."

Thinking of what Cao Wu and Xuemei said just now, Zhao Yao frowned and said, "I didn't expect Dai Wangfei to conceive a child because of taking banned drugs, let alone her being killed by banned drugs."

"Your Highness, is there really such a powerful medicine in this world?"

"There should be." Where did Princess Dai get the forbidden drug to conceive a child? Was it her sister?
According to the scriptures he often reads, Dai Wangfei's concubine sister has always been jealous of Dai Wangfei, and wants to replace Dai Wangfei.Knowing that Dai Wangfei was troubled by pregnancy, she found a forbidden medicine for giving birth, and then dedicated the medicine to Dai Wangfei.She knew in her heart that when the Dai Wangfei died, her concubine sister would definitely marry the Dai Wang and become the successor princess.

"Who is so vicious to give Dai Wangfei such a sinister drug? Isn't this the life of Dai Wangfei?" Tong Xi said sharply, "And it will not be found out. Everyone thinks Dai Wangfei is because of the birth of His Royal Highness. He died after being injured."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, let's go back." Zhao Yao didn't expect that because of his curiosity, he not only saw amazing things, but also heard amazing things.

"Your Highness, just now Cao Wu and Xuemei confront each other, what should we do about this matter, do you want to tell Eunuch Sun?"

"We didn't see anything just now, and we didn't hear anything." Zhao Yao knew about the fact that the eunuch and the palace maid were eating each other. "Tongxi, do you have food for food?"

Tong Xi was frightened by Zhao Yao's question and shook his head: "Your Highness, there are no servants, there are really no servants." Although many court ladies asked him to make counterfeeds, they were all rejected by him.

Zhao Yao looked Tong Xi up and down, and jokingly said: "Should there be many people looking for you for dinner?" Tong Xi is pretty handsome, tall, and good at martial arts, so there should be many court ladies who like him.

"There are quite a few of them, but they were all rejected by the servants." Those people came to him for food, firstly because he was not bad looking, and secondly because he was His Highness's personal eunuch.Although His Highness is not supported by ministers, His Highness is still very popular with eunuchs and court ladies.On the one hand, it is because His Highness is kind and treats them with low status very well.On the other hand, it is because His Highness can become a king and go to the fief after he becomes an adult.Those who follow His Highness will then be able to leave the palace and follow His Highness to the fiefdom.

Leaving the palace is the dream of many eunuchs and court ladies.Although court ladies can leave the palace at the age of 25, most court ladies are still very young, and they are still too early to leave the palace.Furthermore, they will leave the palace at that time, and they will have no one to rely on, so they may not be able to live well outside the palace.However, if you go to the fief with your highness, your highness may marry your guards or other people around your highness, and their lives will be guaranteed by then.

Eunuchs are not as lucky as maids, they can leave the palace at the age of 25.Unless you make a mistake and are expelled from the palace, or you are old and useless, you can only leave the palace.

The big eunuch can live a good life when he is out of the palace, but the little eunuch will not have a good life when he is out of the palace.In order to live well, following a prince out of the palace is the best choice.

"If you have someone you like, I have no objection to you having a confrontation with her." Zhao Yao joked.

"Your Highness, slaves don't have anyone they like, and they don't know how to flirt with them." The eunuch is a disabled person, and he has no qualifications and no right to like someone.

"Oh, that's fine."

Tong Xi let out a long sigh of relief.

After walking for a while, Zhao Yao suddenly said, "I don't know how to grow needles, do I?"

Tong Xi: "..." His Highness is only eight years old, and he actually saw such an unbearable scene. That guy Cao Wu is really too much.

"I'll go back and wash my eyes with salt water." He didn't want to get a needle eye and be laughed at by everyone.

"Your Highness, you will definitely not grow the eye of a needle." Tong Xi comforted Zhao Yao, "If you want to grow, you will be a servant."

"You have to wash your eyes when you go back."

Back at Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao shouted to wash his eyes with salt water.

Liang Zhaoyi thought that Zhao Yao's eyes were uncomfortable, so she hurriedly asked Gui Xing to prepare salt water.Then, she carefully washed Zhao Yao's eyes with salt water.

Zhao Yao asked Liang Zhaoyi to wash him several times.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Liang Zhaoyi carefully checked her son's eyes, and found that they were neither swollen nor red. "Eyes hurt, or do you see things blurry?"

Zhao Yao sighed and said, "Concubine Mu, I saw something I shouldn't have seen, and I washed my eyes because I was afraid of getting a needle's eye."

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi's expression turned a little ugly.

"What do you see?"

Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi what he saw and what he heard just now.

After Liang Zhaoyi heard this, her expression was very shocked.

"Dai Wangfei died because of taking forbidden drugs?!"

Zhao Yao said with a deep expression: "Concubine Mu, don't you think the matter of acting as a princess looks familiar?"

"Familiar?" Liang Zhaoyi didn't understand what Zhao Yao meant at first, but soon she thought of it.There was a look of shock on her face, "You mean the former queen and empress?"

It's the last day of this month, veterans, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
Zhao Yao: Reading scripts is still useful.
