Chapter 50:
After being rescued by Xue Yan, Jun Huailang developed a high fever.
The palace was in chaos.
Prince Yongning was in a coma and was brought back to Yongle Hall by the fifth prince, who was also soaked all over. I heard that I fell into the water inexplicably, and was rescued by the Fifth Highness who happened to arrive.
The Qing Ping Emperor hurriedly sent someone to place Jun Huailang in the side hall of Yongle Hall, and immediately called Lingfu to invite the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor originally said that the prince of Yongning was just frightened and frozen, and there was no sign of drowning, and only two medicines could be cured. But in the second half of the night, Jun Huailang's fever became worse and worse, and even the imperial physician panicked and didn't know what to do.
The nobles of various families left the palace in a hurry, while the Jun family and his party waited anxiously outside the side hall. Emperor Qing Ping used Duke Yongning quite a lot these days. When such a big event happened today, he also stayed here and was persuaded to rest in the palace next to him.
Concubine Shu stayed in the side hall.
But Jun Huailang has been in a coma, his eyes are so burned that he can't open his eyes, and the temperature has not dropped.
Xue Yan silently stood by the side.
The maids stepped forward and replaced the cold water for her. Concubine Shu's hand was empty, she sat beside the bed, and after a while she silently wiped away her tears.
After a while, she choked and said, "Go, change clothes and go."
Xue Yan has been standing here since he came back, still wearing a soaked robe.
Xue Yan did not move.
Concubine Shu turned around and reprimanded him: "Can't you hear? This palace can't handle the second one with a fever, so why don't you change your clothes?"
At this moment, a palace maid came in with a bowl of medicine and handed it to the palace maid who was waiting by the bed.
The imperial physician followed behind her and came in to watch Jun Huailang take the medicine.
"The imperial physician, how is it?" Concubine Shu asked quickly. "You said just now that the fever will go down after two doses of medicine, but now the fever is getting worse and worse!"
The imperial doctor heard the words and knelt down in front of Concubine Shu.
"Hui Niangniang, Wei Chen doesn't know, and Wei Chen has never seen it before!" He kowtowed. "His Royal Highness's pulse is clearly a common cold, but the more I look at it now...the more it looks like I've hit an evil!"
Speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Xue Yan next to him tremblingly, the deep meaning of his words was self-evident.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then became furious, grabbed the empty bowl next to her, and smashed it beside the imperial physician.
"I asked you to heal, who told you to talk nonsense here! I'm not good at medical skills, so I say Lang'er is hitting the evil? This palace sees that you have hit the evil, and it is time for Your Majesty to pick it up I'll blow your head away and drive away evil spirits!"
The sound of the porcelain shattering made everyone in the hall tremble.
The imperial doctor seemed to be very timid, and was frightened by the broken bowl, so he knocked his head a few times to plead guilty, and ran out.
Just as he passed by, Xue Yan looked sideways and glanced coldly at the direction he was running.
It was the palace where Emperor Qing Ping lived.
Concubine Shu didn't care about him at all. She wiped her tears, and then instructed the palace maid to come forward and feed Jun Huailang the bowl of medicine to drink.
Xue Yan's eyes fell on the bowl of medicine, and then moved to Jun Huailang's face.
He was red with burning, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were like a pair of fragile crow wings, casting a shadow on his face.
Xue Yan's eyes were full of blood that he had held back for a long time.
"Baiji." After a while, he looked away with difficulty and said in a low voice. "Come out."
—
The palace where Emperor Qing Ping was located was also brightly lit.
He rested on the couch for a while, and then he couldn't sleep again.
In the past two years, he obviously felt that the Xu family was not very honest, and the literati of the Jiang family, who also ganged up, only knew how to scold people all day long, but couldn't do anything practical.
In the entire courtroom, there was no one he could trust and use.
He finally found a right-hand man like Duke Yongning, who is not a party or a group. The eldest son in the palace has a problem.
The Qing Ping Emperor was so annoyed that he couldn't sleep, so he called Lingfu to pour himself a cup of refreshing tea.
"Why does it sound more and more serious over there?" he asked with a frown. "Didn't you say you just fell into the water, which imperial doctor did you hire?"
Ling Fu hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, it is the Imperial Doctor Zhu of the Imperial Hospital. I wish the Imperial Physician superb medical skills, Your Majesty, you know it."
The Emperor Qingping pressed his eyebrows and nodded.
"That's weird," he muttered.
At this moment, a **** at the door said: "Your Majesty, I wish the imperial doctor to see you."
The Qing Ping Emperor raised his hand: "Let him come in."
After a while, the Imperial Physician Zhu knelt down in front of him.
"Prince Yongning is my servant. If something happens to his son, I will definitely take your head."
Impressed the forehead of Imperial Physician Zhu: "Go back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince's illness, the minister is helpless!"
The Emperor Qing Ping changed his face.
"You can't do anything?" he said angrily. "But it's just so cold, there's nothing you can do about it, what's the use of taking care of you in the imperial hospital!"
Imperial Doctor Zhu hurriedly kowtowed: "Go back to Your Majesty! His Royal Highness's illness is clearly not a cold!"
The Qing Emperor asked: "What is that?"
Imperial Physician Zhu raised his head tremblingly and exchanged a glance with Lingfu, who was waiting behind Emperor Qingping.
"Your Highness's symptoms...should be tainted by filth, or hit by evil!"
The word evil has settled down, and needles can be heard in the entire palace.
The Qing Ping Emperor slowly frowned, and after a while he asked in a deep voice, "...What did you say?"
Imperial Doctor Zhu repeated it tremblingly.
"WeChen said, Your Highness is... hit by evil."
Lingfu shook his hand, and the teapot in his hand splattered with water on the table.
The Qing Ping Emperor looked up at him, and saw Lingfu standing beside him with trembling pupils, and whispered: "Your Majesty, on Laba day... Qin Tianjian!"
When he said this, he was frightened, as if he didn't dare to say the next words.
You don't have to say it, Emperor Qing Ping knew what he was talking about.
And the period of calamity calculated by Lingtailang is before the new year.
Today is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the last day before the new year.
The Qing Ping Emperor could hardly hold the teacup in his hand.
In this case, Jun Huailang's evil spirit...isn't it Xue Yan?
A few days ago, I heard that he was suffering from nightmares. Today, he and Xue Yan went out alone, only to hit the evil.
The Qing Emperor fell into silence.
"Is what you said true?" After a while, Emperor Qingping said solemnly. "If there is half a lie, I will punish you nine clans."
I wish the imperial doctor a deep kowtow to show that he did not dare to deceive the emperor's sincerity.
"Then what do you think?" Emperor Qingping asked again.
Imperial Doctor Zhu kowtowed: "Your Majesty can send someone to Qin Tianjian to see who has the ability to exorcise evil spirits."
At this moment, Lingfu bowed down and whispered to Emperor Qingping: "Your Majesty, why not invite Lingtai Lang?"
The Qing Emperor looked up at him.
I saw Lingfu and said: "Your Majesty, this hexagram was occupied by Lingtai Lang. The servant also heard that when he traveled with his master Shangxuan, he also learned to cure diseases. Ability. I heard that the talisman water he boiled, just poured a bowl into it, all incurable diseases can be cured, and evil spirits can’t get close.”
The Qing Emperor asked: "Really?"
Lingfu has served him for so many years, you can see from one look that Emperor Qingping is moved.
He nodded quickly: "Your Majesty will call him and ask."
When Emperor Qing Ping heard the words, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
At this moment, the eunuch's message came from the door: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness asks to see you."
For a time, several people in the palace changed their faces.
Ling Fu and Imperial Physician Zhu glanced at each other quickly, and both turned their attention to Emperor Qing Ping.
Seeing that Emperor Qingping's expression changed, he said, "Let him come in."
The little **** accepted Xue Yan and led Xue Yan in.
Just looking from a distance, it is still embarrassed, and at a glance, it is known that it has fallen into the water.
The Qing Ping Emperor was inexplicably guilty.
As long as he noticed his appearance for the first time, it would be difficult for Emperor Qing Ping to separate Xue Yan and Concubine Rong. As soon as he saw him, he would reflexively think of Concubine Rong's voice, face and smile, and if he looked a few more times, he could find that he looked alike to Concubine Rong in other ways.
Xue Yan knelt down in front of Emperor Qing Ping.
"Get up." Emperor Qingping said. "Looking for me at night, what's the matter?"
"When I returned to my father, my son just heard from the imperial doctor Zhu that the prince of Yongning had been hit by evil, so he came here to ask his father to see him."
No one expected that he would speak out about this matter in person.
Just now, I had made up my mind. Emperor Qingping, who wanted to pour water on Jun Huailang, was also a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, "It's just a random guess, it can't be true..."
Xue Yan didn't seem to hear it, and then said: "My son knows that the only evil in the palace is his son, so the strange illness of the prince of Yongning must be caused by his son. rise."
He spoke lightly but with certainty, which made Emperor Qingping feel uncomfortable.
How can a child say that he is evil?
What's more, Dayong originally emphasized Confucianism and despised Buddhism. Emperor Qing Ping was superstitious, and it was enough to talk privately with people who knew how to do it, but it seemed that he was absurd if he really taught the person to speak out bluntly.
The Qing Ping Emperor was naturally reluctant to admit that he was absurd, and he was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it.
Then, he saw Xue Yan leaning over and kowtowed at him.
"My son asked for an decree to copy the "Due Sutra" a hundred times for the prince of Yongning since he went to the Buddhist hall in the palace, in order to suppress the evil in his body. The prince of Yongning is still taking medicine, if it is still tomorrow If there is no cure, the son will plead guilty to the emperor again."
The Qing Ping Emperor froze in place.
He listened to Xue Yan and said, "If there is a slight difference, I will bear it."
The Qing Ping Emperor was speechless for a moment.
He had to admit that the one kneeling there was the only child of him and Concubine Rong. But this child was treated harshly by the heavens, and he had to become a malefic star who was born to teach him that his father and son would interfere.
Now that he begged himself like this, Emperor Qing Ping couldn't say anything to refuse.
After a moment, he said, "As you said. Go."
Lingfu next to him was taken aback, looked at Imperial Physician Zhu again, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, that Lingtai Lang...?"
The Qing Emperor waved his hand.
"Wait until tomorrow, if it doesn't get better, go ask him again." He said.
In fact, he was betting in his heart, wanting to see if this method of copying the "Due Jing" could quell the evil spirit in Xue Yan.
If you can really do it, don't you have nothing to fear?
He didn't see it, and Lingfu, who was beside him, glanced nervously at Imperial Doctor Zhu, and Imperial Doctor Zhu returned him a look that reassured him.
But all this fell into Xue Yan's eyes.
