Chapter 289 Jindan

At this time, the emperor was clinging to the presented letter of credence, but his thoughts were wandering.In fact, I don't know what I'm thinking, but I just faintly feel that there is an inexplicable stuffy breath in my chest that can't be relieved.There were many courtiers in the hall, so the emperor naturally didn't want others to notice that there was something wrong with him, so he took a few deep breaths, trying to expel this boring and dirty air out of his chest.

He lowered his head and looked seriously at the credential in his hand, "Dongqi's credential, even though His Majesty Heyuan is sympathetic to Dongqi's lord..." The credential was densely covered with excuses that seemed to be justifications for Dongqi, but secretly accused him. It disregarded the diplomatic relations between the two countries and broke the contract at will, but before the emperor finished reading it, he only felt blood rushing up and a sweetness in his throat. After the warm blood sprayed out of his mouth, he fainted on the book table.

"Father! (The emperor? The emperor?)" Several courtiers, including Prince Gongsu, were obviously taken aback by the sudden illness of the emperor. At this time, the prince had already run to the emperor's side, and put his hand on the emperor's breath Only after finding out that the emperor fainted briefly did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you standing still, hurry up and declare the imperial physician, the emperor has passed out."

Prince Gongsu was the first to realize that he and his father-in-law helped the emperor into the side hall to rest, and stood aside to wait for the results of the imperial physician.The few ministers in the main hall knelt and walked there, either staying or not, they could only whisper in private, but they all tacitly raised a very depressive guess in their hearts.

"Prince Gongsu, there are old slaves guarding here. Those adults in the main hall..."

Prince Gongsu understood the meaning of the prince's words. Now that the emperor is suffering from a sudden illness, these ministers must have guessed a lot in their minds. In addition, in recent months, the emperor seldom goes to court, even if he occasionally goes to court. Hastily ended.The ministers guessed that the emperor was dissatisfied with the emperor's so-called single-mindedness before, but now they probably have to think again, probably thinking that the emperor said this because of his own health and fear that the people in the court would know that he was messing up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Wang, to stay here to guard Father. This king will come back to guard Father after finishing these matters. If there is any news about this, I hope that Eunuch Wang will inform me in time."

"It's natural, Prince Gongsu don't worry, the old servant will guard the emperor every step of the way."

With Wang Gonggong's guarantee, Prince Gongsu walked to the main hall without looking back like a wind blowing under his feet, sent back all the cabinet ministers who were guarding the main hall, and asked them to understand what happened today And it cannot be passed on.This matter has a lot to do with it, even if Prince Gongsu didn't speak, they didn't dare to say anything, and they all left the palace with serious thoughts.

When Prince Gongsu returned to the main hall, the emperor hadn't woken up yet, and the imperial physicians just retreated from behind the screen.When he saw Prince Gongsu, he saluted him first.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. How is your father?"

"Return to Prince Gongsu's words, the emperor's body..." At this point, Zhang Yuanjue didn't say it clearly, but just shook his head. Before Prince Gongsu could say anything, Zhang Yuanjue said to himself: " Your Majesty is in a hurry. A few days ago, when the officials were checking the Emperor's Ping'an pulse every day, they found that the Emperor was suffering from severe insomnia, absent mindedness, and emotional instability. Therefore, the officials also privately persuaded the Emperor. Don't think too much, I also prescribed some soothing prescriptions for the emperor to take, but I don't know why, the emperor's condition not only didn't improve, but went from bad to worse."

"What's on my father's mind that causes long-term worries?" Prince Gongsu knew that being an emperor is not easy since he took care of the affairs of the court on behalf of the emperor, but his father was the king of a country not for a day or two. It won't be like this because of these trivial things, so I really can't figure out why my father is like this.

"Judge Zhang, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Your Majesty, please be blunt if you have anything to say." Zhang Yuanping naturally did not dare to neglect the "old man" next to the emperor, not to mention that the emperor's daily food and drink are all taken care of by the prince, so it is inevitable for him to speak rashly. If there is evidence, he responded very respectfully.

"The old servant waited on the emperor's daily life day and night. Half a month ago, he found that the emperor occasionally had shortness of breath or accompanied by a cough. Several times, he also found that the emperor seemed to have symptoms of dizziness and nausea. But... these symptoms improved after a few days. In addition, Zhang Yuan judged that the emperor would ask for the pulse every day and did not find anything wrong, so the old slave was careless and didn't care. Now that I think about it, will the emperor's old disease relapse or have other hidden diseases in his body? Is the disease undetected?"

If other people said so, Zhang Yuanju must have thought about it, because he did not find anything wrong with the emperor's pulse diagnosis every day, and even if the emperor had any differences, he would check it out himself.But the symptoms mentioned by Wang Gonggong just now were never discovered by him, because the emperor's pulse did not show the symptoms mentioned by Wang Gonggong when he took the pulse, so naturally he would not make more guesses.

But now the prince suddenly said that, if he hadn’t doubted Zhang Yuan’s medical skills, it would be that the emperor’s symptoms would not show up easily, or it could be said that there is some way to restrain the emperor’s symptoms. Situation happens.

"Your Majesty's words are serious? The officials have never noticed that the emperor has these symptoms, and the pulse seems to be normal."

"It's related to the body of the dragon, so I dare not speak nonsense, and I also said what I know, and I have no other intentions." Wang Gonggong was not even slightly unhappy when he was questioned by Zhang Yuan , because he knew in his heart that what the court judge said was definitely not a competition with him, let alone annoyed that he had revealed something in public, it was just a moment of impatience and taking turns.

Sure enough, seeing that Wang Gonggong was still responding to him calmly, Zhang Yuan judge realized that his tone of speech was quite rude just now, and he bowed to Wang Gonggong with a bit of embarrassment on his face. peace of mind.

However, after being reminded by Wang Gonggong, Zhang Yuanjue and Prince Gongsu both thought of the same thing, and they asked Wang Gonggong together: "When did the father (the emperor) take the elixir?"

"This elixir is only given out once a month by the celestial master, and each time there are only two golden elixirs. Because the celestial master said that the refining process of this elixir is extremely complicated, it is not easy to know two per month. So the emperor probably sends it every half a month. Only took one golden pill."

"Then, when the prince discovered the situation of the father, was it before or after taking the golden elixir?" The question asked by Prince Gongsu was naturally what Zhang Yuanju was eager to know. His gaze was fixed on the prince's face.

Seeing that everyone in the room was staring at him, the prince didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately thought about when the emperor's abnormality started and when he got better.
