"But the ministers headed by Doctor Liu, Fan Siqing, Wen Yiqian, etc., as well as the military generals in the court who followed Qi's orders, still refused to give in and asked to see the eldest princess."

"Prince Rongjun had no choice but to stand up and claim that the traitor Jiang Jingzhang sent troops to besiege the eldest princess. With the help of Gu Jiayan, the second son of Prime Minister Gu, the eldest princess fought her way out of the eldest princess's mansion with the guards of the eldest princess's mansion. When I entered the palace to protect King Qin, he suffered some physical injuries. He is currently in the Weiyang Palace and has ordered the imperial physician to carefully diagnose and treat him. He also mentioned that on the day of the enthronement ceremony, the eldest princess will read out the edict of the late emperor's succession."

The court officials made it clear that they wanted to protect the eldest princess, so Princess Rongjun was worried about the eldest princess's life and sent her to the palace so that she could properly take care of the eldest princess.

After Jiang Fuguang drank the medicine, there was a bitter taste in his mouth, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The more incorrect his position was, the more he wanted to show off his orthodoxy.

It's ridiculous.

The palace maid brought a bowl of white porridge into the room. Yingluo first tested the poison with a silver needle, and then tasted it herself. She was the eldest princess's personal attendant, serving the eldest princess in food, clothing, and daily life. She had received strict training. She can distinguish some bad medicines by smelling them, and she can also tell them by tasting them.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the white porridge, Yingluo fed the eldest princess spoonful after spoonful.

Jiang Fuguang didn't have much appetite, but he still managed to eat most of the bowl. It wasn't until he couldn't eat any more that Yingluo gave up.

At this time, a chamberlain stumbled into the room, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, wiped his tears, and wailed: "Princess, Eunuch Zhang, he, he has been martyred."

Jiang Fuguang choked in his throat and couldn't help coughing violently. He was coughing so hard that his heart was broken, and there were bloodshot eyes at the corners of his mouth.

Yingluo was startled: "Here comes someone, go and ask for the imperial doctor."

"It's all your fault, slave," the chamberlain sobbed and slapped him in the face, "There was news from Weiyang Palace that the eldest princess was in danger. It was the slave who was too talkative and told Eunuch Zhang the news in the name of delivering food. Who would have thought Eunuch Zhang..."

Jiang Fuguang's throat hurt and itched, and his heart was so congested and uncomfortable that it felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on him, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The maids in the room all panicked and fell to their knees, trembling all over and not even daring to breathe.

Yingluo was horrified, so she quickly calmed down, dissolved pear paste into water, and fed it to the eldest princess to drink.

Jiang Fuguang finally stopped coughing and felt cold all over.

She thought of her childhood, when her father left her in Liangyi Hall. At that time, the Southern Dynasty was first established. Her father had to review many memorials every day, and was often busy until late at night. Most of the time, Zhang Dequan was taking care of her and teaching her how to read. , read to her, make her happy, tease her...

Zhang Dequan ordered someone to carve a character plate, held the character plate, taught her how to read, and told her the origin, evolution, ancient and modern times of the character. He was a servant of the emperor, and he had a sharp tongue and told her stories one after another. Land traps are not repeated at all, which is very interesting.

When she became more familiar with words, Zhang Dequan composed the word plates into four-character idioms and told her idiom stories, idiom allusions, and idiom history.

Thousands of character cards are ever-changing, and new tricks can always be played.

Occasionally, she didn't want to play calligraphy anymore, so Zhang Dequan ordered people to build Qiangong boats, Qiangong houses and other mortise-and-tenon objects. Each part could be disassembled and then assembled into ships and houses.

Zhang Dequan was a slave, he didn't dare to take his master around for fun, he was worried about bumping into his master, and he was worried about suffocating her, so he always went out of his way to please her.

When she was little, she was always called Zhang Dequan and Zhang Daban.

This is because of the upbringing in the palace, Shang Gong said that attendants have been by their master's side since childhood and are responsible for accompanying their master and protecting their master's safety. They are called big companions.

Zhang Dequan took the trouble to explain every time that he was not her first companion, but His Majesty's first companion.

She tilted her head and looked at Zhang Dequan, stretched out her chubby little arms towards Zhang Dequan, and looked at him with bright black eyes: "Big companion, hug."

Zhang Dequan sighed helplessly every time and reached out to pick her up.She hugged Zhang Dequan's neck and giggled.

Because of this, when her father wanted to choose a companion for her, she looked left and right, and finally refused: "Zhang Dayan is the best."

My father was speechless for a while: "I always miss my father's people."

In her heart, Zhang Dequan is her only great companion, and no one can replace her.

Jiang Fuguang coughed and shed tears: "Yingluo, go and bury Zhang Daban's body in person, and then bury it on the hill next to the imperial mausoleum. You can count him by your side. If you take my token, Prince Rongjun will not do it." I will embarrass you over such a trivial matter."

……

When Ji Ruxuan woke up again, it was already dark. There was a dim lamp left in the room, which was extremely dark. His black eyes were as deep as the abyss, and the bottom of his eyes was as cold as the snowy peaks covered with snow for many years, and they were desolate.

He struggled to sit up.

Yan Qing, who was napping on the table, suddenly woke up and quickly went to check on Ji Ruxuan. Seeing that he was awake, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He took out the pillow, stuffed it behind his back, helped him lean on the pillow, and said excitedly: "Medicine and food are prepared in the kitchen. I will bring them over right away."

Ji Ruxuan's throat was dry and painful: "Water!"

"Water, oh, water," Yan Qing reacted and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you have been in a coma for a whole day, you must be a little thirsty, I will pour it right away."

Yan Qing hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and fed Ji Ruxuan to drink it.

Ji Ruxuan leaned on the couch, her thoughts gradually returning.

Thinking that before he passed out, Yan Qing said that Jiang Fuguang was not dead yet and was still in the palace. He took a sudden breath. Since King Rongjun failed to kill Jiang Fuguang during the palace coup, he would not be able to kill him now that he was about to ascend the throne. Probably killed her.

The Lingnan side is still at war with the Nanyue Kingdom. The courtiers will definitely protect Jiang Fuguang and appease the Qi family army. Prince Rongjun will also use Jiang Fuguang to appease the courtiers and stabilize the court situation, so as to contain the Qi family army and achieve the purpose of suppressing and weakening the Qi family army.

Not killing Jiang Fuguang would certainly be detrimental to him.

Killing Jiang Fuguang would not benefit him at all.

All this takes time.

He still has time.

Yan Qing came into the house with white porridge and soup. He used to hate taking medicine. Now he picked up a bowl of dark soup and drank the whole bowl of medicine without even frowning. He raised his head and drank the bowl of medicine. The level of boldness made people think that what he drank was not medicine but wine.

After eating the porridge, Ji Ruxuan felt better: "Is there any other news from the palace?"

Yan Qing shook his head.

The Taoist secretly contacted Taoist Yunshan, who was in the palace, and then found out the news about the inner palace. Taoist Yunshan was from outside the palace, and the bloody storm in the palace could not affect him. Half of the cardinals In the name of Saint, no matter who it is, they will not offend Wanjunshan easily.

Ji Ruxuan didn't ask any more questions: "Invite Yu Hengzi."

Yan Qing was about to speak but stopped, he was still wanting to speak, his face turned red with suppressed emotions, and he had no choice but to go and invite Yu Hengzi. (End of chapter)
