The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 99

Gu Zizhan entered the palace with Chu Lan.

Emperor Tianshun probably hadn't figured out how to face her, or how to arrange her, so he simply didn't see her.They only sent Li Ruoyu to lead the two of them to the East Palace.

Seeing Li Ruoyu and Li Lianying behind him, Gu Zizhan smiled and nodded.Li Ruoyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile on his face: "My servant greets the Sixth Young Master." Then he said in a low voice: "This old slave is very grateful to the Sixth Young Master. I dare not forget my great kindness."

Gu Zizhan smiled knowingly, and nodded slightly in return.She knew in her heart that Li Ruoyu's thanks were for her suggestions to Li Lianying that day, so she didn't make the chief executive lose his sanctity in front of the emperor.

She accepted this favor.

Afterwards, Li Lianying went to the front to lead the way.After the prince was poisoned and unconscious, Emperor Tianshun sent him back to the East Palace to serve the prince.Gu Zizhan asked Li Ruoyu about the prince's condition.

This time Emperor Tianshun allowed Chu Lan to enter the palace with him, and he also wanted her to treat the prince.After all, Chu Lan had traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, so she might have heard some good prescriptions for detoxification.Li Ruoyu knew what Emperor Tianshun was thinking, so he didn't hide it, and told the whole story of the prince being assassinated and poisoned.What he said was plain, but there was something vaguely vague in Chu Lan's heart.

There is something strange about the prince's poison.

She suddenly remembered that the prince had not asked her to check his pulse for a long time.

Will it be like that?

Entering the prince's bedroom, Yixu is taking the prince's pulse. From this appearance, she should have just finished the consultation. There is a little medicine boy standing beside her.Seeing Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan coming in, Yixu's expression remained unchanged, and he got up and saluted.Seeing her calm face, Gu Zizhan couldn't help but feel a little curious about this first-ever first-born girl from the imperial hospital.I think she had helped Emperor Tianshun to spread the news that Chu Lan was pregnant, and Chu Lan's false pregnancy and miscarriage were also confirmed by her diagnosis and treatment.Seeing them coming now, Yixu still looked indifferent, and he didn't know if he was really indifferent, or he was just another person who was hiding something.

Chu Lan stepped forward and asked Yi Xu about the prince.

Yi Xu glanced around, Li Ruoyu immediately understood, led a group of maids out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door.Only then did Yi Xu speak: "The situation is not good. Your Highness is suffering from the heart-biting poison."

Chu Lan felt a chill in his heart.But he quickly asked again: "Heart-eating grass needs gentian fragrance to trigger its toxicity. Has the head of Yiyuan discovered this gentian fragrance?"

Yi Xu nodded, took a worn-out sachet from the case table, and handed it to Chu Lan.

Chu Lan put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, and she really smelled a faint scent of gentian from the sachet.

Gu Zizhan also poked his head over to take a look at the sachet. He felt that this thing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Chu Lan was about to return the sachet to Yi Xu, but suddenly frowned, and handed it to Gu Zizhan.Gu Zizhan took it with some puzzlement, and saw a smile on Yixu's expressionless face.

It's just that the smile was slightly mocking, and it was fleeting.

Afterwards, Yi Xu got up and bid farewell to the two.Before going out, he turned around suddenly and said: "Don't worry, both of you, I've been dumb for so many years." After saying that, he shook his head and led the deaf-mute little drug boy out. the door of the temple.

Gu Zizhan was a little puzzled. When he looked at Chu Lan, he heard her whisper: "Yi Xu is a tall man."

Gu Zizhan nodded ignorantly, picked up the sachet and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he looked at Chu Lan in disbelief and said, "I saw His Highness playing with this sachet in the northern border! This, this It is a relic of the former Crown Princess."

Seeing that Chu Lan was not surprised, Gu Zizhan said, "A Lan, you, have you seen it?"

Chu Lan nodded, and then laughed at herself, "I have seen this sachet many times, but I never thought about it."

Gu Zizhan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her back, "It's not your fault. Even if you recognize him, you will only think of him as the prince's elder brother. How can you think of the poison?"

Yes, she has thought about it a lot now, perhaps, the root of the prince's illness had already been planted when the little grandson and the former concubine passed away.

After Chu Lan went up to check the prince's pulse carefully, the expression on her face became more serious.The heart-eating poison is so powerful, the deeper the poisoning, the harder it is to detect the pulse condition.The prince's pulse is almost the same as that of ordinary wind and cold, and it is extremely difficult for someone who is not proficient in poison theory to find out.It seems that the head of the Yiyuan is really a hidden person.

And the poison on the prince's body has obviously been infected for a long time.Looking at it now, not only is it not good, but the poison has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and I am afraid it will not last long.Chu Lan looked at the prince who was falling into a coma with a slight smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When this heart-eating poison is poisonous, the toxin invades the internal organs along with the meridians, and will devour a person's vitality inch by inch.But at the same time, it can make people have the most wonderful dreams.What you can't get when you are awake, will come true in this dream.

Perhaps, the prince at this time is the happiest.

After Chu Lan passed the meridians with silver needles for the crown prince, Li Lianying knocked on the door outside the hall.

Yixu had already decocted the medicine and asked Li Lianying to bring it over.

Chu Lan took the medicine, held it up to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. There were dragon vine and radiance grass in the medicine, besides, there was a heartbroken heart.These few medicines are all strong poisons, but together, they can relieve and suppress the toxicity of the heart-eating poison.It's just that according to the current situation of the prince, it's just a consolation.Physicians cure diseases and save people, but they cannot cure people who are mortal.

Li Lianying called two servants, helped the prince up, and fed him some medicine spoon by spoon.After half a stick of incense, the prince slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan, the prince smiled weakly, "You are here." He waved his hand feebly again, and said to Li Lianying, "Go down first, I just want to talk to them."

Gu Zizhan hurriedly sat sideways on the couch, supporting the prince's weak body.The prince didn't care, and said with a smile, "How is it? My brother didn't break his promise, he can still protect you."

Gu Zizhan's nose was sour, and he was almost on the verge of tears.Some complained, and said in a low voice: "Why are you bothering. Do you really care so little about your own body?"

The prince smiled, "I've never been able to be the master, but this time, I can only be the master once I calm down." Looking at Gu Zizhan, "This time, those wicked people will finally find it difficult to escape. I know you are determined to be the master." They will complain that I don't know the severity, but the world is impermanent, and I can't help it. Those people, I can't do anything on weekdays, and their words don't carry much weight, but anyway, I still have this important status, and I can still use it."

"Now, Father is finally willing to move the Xing family. With the physical evidence that Lian Yongan brought back from Jiangbei, and many personal witnesses, Xing Kang's intention to murder you in Jiangbei can finally be made known to the world. And this time in the northern border, you can also have a legitimate reason for the many contributions you have made, and you can cash in the rewards together."

"In this way, I can also feel at ease."

After saying this, the prince felt a little exhausted, trembling all over, and coughing non-stop.

Gu Zizhan quickly helped him to lie down on his side, and patted him on the back to make him feel better.But the prince was obviously extremely exhausted, his eyes were half closed, and he was about to fall into a coma again.

Seeing him like this, Gu Zizhan had no choice but to stand up and prepare to leave with Chu Lan.

At this moment, the prince suddenly grabbed her arm, forced a breath, and spoke intermittently:

"Ache, you and You'er, yes, yes, do you have an heir?"

However, without waiting for Gu Zizhan's answer, the prince fell into a coma completely.

**********

Gu Zizhan left the East Palace worried.

Suddenly, her arm felt warm, and Chu Lan stepped forward to hold her hand.

Gu Zizhan forced a smile, and clasped her fingers tightly with his backhand.

After sitting back in the carriage, Gu Zizhan said leisurely: "Brother Prince, alas, I am very worried about him."

Chu Lan pursed her lower lip slightly, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zizhan, I'm afraid you have to prepare in your heart."

Gu Zizhan couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Is he really, really bad?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Lan couldn't bear it, but she nodded slightly.Seeing that Gu Zizhan was already in tears, Chu Lan thought for a while, and said to her: "I am a doctor, and I have always been confident in my medical skills. But this time, I have met His Highness many times, but I have never found him. I've been poisoned. It's not that I'm not skilled enough in medicine or my foresight is wrong, but that we who detoxify will never be as good as those who poisoned us."

"Doctors don't cure the disease."

Gu Zizhan wiped his eyes a few times indiscriminately, forced to stop his tears, choked up and said, "I know, he hid himself."

He couldn't help but sigh again, "I just couldn't bear to say more in front of him. In fact, he didn't have to be so impatient! Xing Kang can't succeed, and His Majesty has already become suspicious of him. He provoked the relationship between His Majesty's father and son, Jiang Bei There are also witnesses and material evidence in the case, and I originally arranged for Jiang Yushi to expose Xing Kang himself, and it will only be a matter of time before the case is overturned."

"And it will only take a while. After His Majesty investigates the matters in the northern border, I will naturally be cleared of suspicion. There are old general Lian and Lord Taifu in the court, and Uncle Fu Wang also promised to help. Everything was originally It can be settled step by step. Why is the prince brother so anxious and put himself in!"

"I, I can't figure it out!"

Seeing her so agitated, Chu Lan hurriedly stroked her back to comfort her.Seeing that Gu Zizhan's mood gradually calmed down, he opened his mouth and said, "But even so, there is still one thing missing before Your Majesty."

"What?" Gu Zizhan was a little puzzled.

"A step. A step that admits that the emperor knows people but does not know."

Gu Zizhan raised his head abruptly, meeting Chu Lan's eyes, feeling chills in his heart.After a lot of experience, she has long been proficient in using methods and strategies, but occasionally, she still has a little expectation for people's hearts.But soon, Gu Zizhan also understood.In front of his courtiers, Emperor Tianshun must be the eternal wise emperor, he will not bow his head, nor will he admit that he is also a mortal who can make mistakes.And if such a major event as the prince being murdered or the country in turmoil happens, the little mistake of the emperor will become insignificant-the villain is vicious and deceives the emperor.

Gu Zizhan murmured in a low voice: "So, the rumors about the East Palace that have been circulated in the capital in recent days are not only from the Ningling County Prince's House, right?"

Chu Lan nodded, "Actually, His Highness is giving up all his flesh and blood to avenge his wife and children. It's just that the price is a bit too high." Indeed, throwing away the responsibility of the country and society is for the prince who has always been benevolent and caring for the people. Said, also a little abrupt.

After listening to Chu Lan's words, Gu Zizhan felt even more sad in his heart.Yes, in this huge palace, the only one who misses the pair of mother and son is the prince.And I can't help but think, what will happen to Lan'er if she is framed one day?She will definitely go all out to take revenge, but after slaying the enemy, she may not be able to survive alone.

After all, in this strange world, she has nothing to worry about except Chu Lan.

Gu Zizhan was still stuck in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, but at this moment, when he heard Chu Lan speak, his tone was particularly dignified. "In addition to this, there is one more thing that makes me very uneasy."

"What's the matter?"

"What does your highness mean by that last sentence?"
