Chapter 220: 220 seriously injured (fourth update)
Chapter 220 220 is seriously injured (fourth update)
"..." Chu Qianchen was stunned for a moment and made some extraneous sounds.
Jiang Yuan explained: "Because there was a nail on the wall, Marquis Yongding happened to hit the nail. Now the wound on his head is serious and he is bleeding."
Chu Lingxiao was the one who bumped into the wall when the jailer was delivering meals. Obviously, he was just trying to show off, but it ended up being self-defeating and he really got himself into a trap.
Jiang Yuan couldn't believe that such a man could be the biological father of the princess.
After a pause, Jiang Yuan added: "The police officer from the Ministry of Punishment has some medical skills. I showed him and said it's safe."
Chu Lingxiao's injury was indeed critical, so the Ministry of Punishment reported it to the emperor immediately. The emperor now knew about it and had already sent several doctors from the imperial hospital to Tianlao.
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, the atmosphere was depressing and depressing. Only the emperor was walking back and forth, exuding an agitated and solemn aura around him.
This atmosphere inevitably affected the palace servants of Yangxin Palace, and they all behaved with their tails between their legs.
The emperor's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with ink, and there seemed to be a fire burning and roasting him in his heart.
He is now also afraid that Chu Lingxiao is really dead.
As the emperor walked away, he complained endlessly: "This matter has finally been settled. The three-level trial has not yet started. If Chu Lingxiao dies at this time, everyone will think that I killed him and silenced him."
"Then I can't explain it clearly. The world will only think that Chu Lingxiao framed Gu Jue and Qin Yao because I instigated it."
"And that Princess Chen..."
Speaking of Chu Qianchen, the flame in the emperor's heart burned even brighter.
I'm afraid that Chu Qianchen will take advantage of the situation again and stab himself again.
The emperor stopped in front of the window. A strong fragrance of osmanthus blew in from the window and lingered on his nose, making him even more irritable. He casually ordered to cut down all the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard.
The emperor gave the order, and no one dared to disobey. Dozens of servants acted together with great force, planning to pick all the osmanthus flowers on the branches.
Eunuch Ni closed the window himself, ordered people to light Jingxin incense, and brought tea and water to the emperor.
The emperor casually sat down on an armchair and said in a deep voice: "Could this father and daughter be in cahoots?"
In the Yangxin Hall, apart from the emperor, only Kang Hongda and Eunuch Ni were present. The emperor's words were obviously addressed to Kang Hongda.
Compared to the furious emperor, Kang Hongda was unusually calm. He held a folding fan with a painting of a crane piercing the clouds and fanned it leisurely.
Kang Hongda said softly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, I am afraid that Marquis Yongding does not have the courage..."
If Chu Lingxiao had such courage, the Yongding Houfu would not have declined, and he would not have landed himself in jail.
The emperor was also angry just now. He said casually, but now he has finally calmed down a little.
Seeing this, Kang Hongda gently closed the folding fan, his expression became serious, and asked: "Your Majesty, how did you choose Princess Chen for His Highness King Chen?"
Yesterday, after Kang Hongda left the imperial study, he ordered someone to check on Princess Chen. However, the life of this concubine of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, who was only fourteen years old, was really lackluster. She usually never left the door or took a step forward. There was nothing at all. Sense of presence.
If it weren't for the emperor's gift of marriage, Kang Hongda could have foreseen what kind of life such an ordinary concubine from the Hou family would have in the future.
When the emperor thought about this, a surge of anger came up again, and he was holding it in his chest, unable to go up or down.
He was too lazy to say anything, so he gave a gesture to Mr. Ni.
Eunuch Ni cleared his throat and told the whole story concisely and concisely.
The emperor picked up the tea cup and drank tea, his face was as heavy as water, and his brows were getting tighter.
In fact, the emperor had regretted it for a long time. Even if Chu Qianchen's horoscope really defeated Gu Jue and his life, seeing that Gu Jue might not die within three or two days, he was about to be **** to death.
As Eunuch Ni spoke, he observed the change in the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye.
Last night, he persuaded the emperor in the middle of the night and tried his best to belittle Chu Qianchen, and the emperor was slightly relieved.
The only thing that can comfort the emperor now is probably that Princess Chen, Chu Qianchen, is just a humble concubine. Among the many princesses in the clan, Princess Chen has the lowest status. I am afraid that the other princesses would not even bother to marry a concubine. Contact and lower your status.
Moreover, Chu Qianchen was alone without any help from his family.
Eunuch Ni's whole body tensed up, and before he knew it, cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
Kang Hongda opened the folding fan again, fanned it slowly several times, and reassured the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. If you have held this tiger talisman for a long time, it is no longer King Chen's. But now, all the people in the court and the world see is the Emperor." You are being aggressive.”
Eunuch Ni felt his scalp numb when he heard this.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Kang Hongda was probably the only one who dared to say that the emperor was aggressive.
The emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at Kang Hongda with an arrow-like look in his eyes.
The air is cold.
The room fell silent, with only the faint scent of incense lingering in the air.
Under the emperor's sharp gaze, Kang Hongda did not change his expression, still smiled slightly, and continued unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to use a gentle approach."
"Your Majesty, imagine if you are very kind to King Chen, but King Chen still holds the tiger talisman and doesn't let go, then it is King Chen's fault, because King Chen does not know what is good or bad."
On the issue of dealing with King Chen, the emperor made a mistake from the beginning, and now they can only try to make up for it.
Kang Hongda said in a persuasive manner: "He is advancing and I am retreating."
"Prince Chen is just a prince. As long as he stays in the capital for one day, his wings will be broken. So what if there are 60,000 Xuanjia troops stationed in the capital?! Could he still rely on these 60,000 people to rebel?!"
"Your Majesty, if he goes all out and abandons the Queen Mother and leaves, the Northern Army will have 400,000 soldiers." His last words were put euphemistically, meaning that if the Emperor forced Gu Jue to leave again, The consequences are disastrous.
"..." The emperor remained silent and slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb.
Looking at the emperor's unconscious little movements, both Kang Hongda and Eunuch Ni could see it, and the emperor listened to some of it.
If someone else, such as the prince, advised the emperor to be kind to King Chen, the emperor would only be suspicious and wonder if the other person was bribed by King Chen. But if Kang Hongda said this, the weight would be different.
Kang Hongda and Gu Jue have always been at odds.
When Gu Jue was young in the capital, he left the palace incognito and had a fight with Kang Hongda.
Later, everyone knew that Gu Jue invited himself to the Northland at the age of fifteen. He was young and energetic, caring about his family and country, and made a good talk. However, they did not know that the emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, planned to recommend Kang Hongda to the Northland, but Gu Jue stopped him. Hu.
If it weren't for Gu Jue, the person in charge of the Northern Army now would be Kang Hongda.
Without Gu Jue, the generals in the court would be headed by Kang Hongda. Instead of being like now, even if Kang Hongda was re-employed by the emperor, the generals would not surrender to him. The people in the world only knew about King Chen and not about Kang Hongda!
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and the royal study fell into silence again. Eunuch Ni stood aside with a fly whisk in his hand, as motionless as a sculpture.
Kang Hongda drank tea leisurely and did not rush.
After another moment, the emperor sighed and whispered: "Indeed, I am too impatient."
For Kang Hongda, as long as the emperor could listen, the rest would be much simpler.
He put down the teacup and said again: "Your Majesty, if you want to overthrow King Chen, you must plan every step of the way, forcing King Chen to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and then annihilate him in one fell swoop, leaving King Chen and his party without any room to stand up!"
Rather than like now, he went through such a huge effort to let everyone in the world know that the emperor was going to attack King Chen, but King Chen was fine. In the end, the emperor had to cede land and pay compensation to appease King Chen, which resulted in heavy losses.
Besides, after waiting for so many years, is the emperor still afraid that he won't be able to wait for another year or two?
Kang Hongda wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a young Eunuch Wen came in and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor's order is here."
Knowing that it was about Chu Lingxiao, the emperor raised his eyelids. Eunuch Ni said: "Let them come in."
The Imperial Physician Ling and the two Imperial Physicians cautiously followed Little Eunuch Wen into the Yangxin Hall. They looked around without leaving a trace, and soon noticed that the osmanthus trees in the courtyard outside the window had become bare, as if they had entered the cold winter early.
The imperial physician Ling's eyelids twitched. It was clear that when he came to diagnose the emperor's pulse yesterday, these osmanthus flowers were still growing well.
"Your Majesty, I just went to Tianlao to see Marquis Yongding." The imperial doctor reminded him, bowing to the emperor fearfully, lowering his head, not daring to look at the emperor's face, "Marquis Yongding is not in good condition, the head injury is The wound was too big and the blood was bleeding, and he is now unconscious.”
"If the bleeding from the wound doesn't stop and continues like this, I'm afraid he will..."
The meaning of the imperial doctor's order was very clear. Chu Lingxiao was in danger and had a narrow escape from death.
The emperor gritted his teeth and rebuked: "Since the bleeding doesn't stop, try to stop the bleeding. There are so many doctors in the imperial hospital, how can it be that they can't even do this little thing!"
There was a coldness in his voice that was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
"I'm sorry for my incompetence." The imperial doctor's head was as big as a bucket and he was sweating like rain.
The other two imperial doctors also lowered their heads, their feet were weak, and their palms were sweating.
"Wine bags and rice bags!" the emperor shouted angrily, "If you can't even heal such an injury, what's the use of raising you wine bags and rice bags?!"
The emperor really disliked these imperial doctors in his heart. They were all hesitant and hesitant. This one did not dare to cure, and the other could not be cured. Even the emperor's eldest grandson was seriously ill before, and it was only cured by Taoist Master Xuanjing's Nine Returns Golden Pill.
When the emperor was angry, all the imperial doctors were frightened, and all three of them fell to their knees.
The imperial physician Ling said fearfully: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"The injury to Marquis Yongding is really too serious. Doctors have their own specialties. Marquis Yongding was injured on the head and it was a traumatic injury. There is really nothing I can do."
The Imperial Hospital serves the royal family and clan. Compared with ordinary doctors, their medical skills are far superior to those of ordinary doctors, but they specialize in internal medicine.
The doctors who treat the most trauma are military doctors, and they have a lot of methods to stop bleeding. But on this battlefield, military doctors' rescue depends entirely on the luck of the injured. If God lets you live, you can live, even if you have a broken leg; if you are not lucky, Well, even a small cut on the arm can kill someone.
If you die, you will die in vain. No one will hold the military doctor accountable.
For those who are seriously injured, even ten of them may not be able to save one.
However, the imperial doctor only thought about these words in his heart. Even if he told the emperor, it would be in vain. The emperor would only think that they were trying to shirk the responsibility.
The emperor became very angry when he saw them kneeling down at every turn.
Kneeling, to put it bluntly, is incompetent.
"Drag out..."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, he knew he was venting his anger, but he just wanted to vent his anger.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. Maybe someone can save Marquis Yongding." An old doctor trembled, thinking that he was already old, and if he was dragged out, he could be killed by just ten sticks, so he might as well give it a try.
"Who?" Eunuch Ni asked angrily on behalf of the emperor, "Your majesty is here, Doctor Wang, why do you have so much to say?"
Dr. Wang was sweating profusely and said bravely, "Maybe the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall can do something."
Everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital knew that the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall cured the emperor's eldest grandson with the Purple Snow Pill, but the emperor didn't recognize it, thinking that the cure was cured by the pill, and that the miracle doctor had a false reputation.
Doctor Wang also knew that he might anger the emperor, but he could not do anything else. He continued: "Not long ago, a woman was stabbed in the eye with a wooden stick. After the wooden stick was pulled out, the wound was stretched and the blood flowed. "It was the miraculous doctor from Jishitang who cured her and saved her eyes."
