Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"And Meng Yong, you command the cavalry guards and the imperial guards. I have entrusted you with such an important position. Is this how you protect me?"

Emperor Tianqi continued to scold the other person kneeling on the ground, his tone still carrying a hint of grief, his voice still weak.

"I failed in my duty and deserve death!"

"After the incident, I carefully checked the people who entered and left the palace within a month, as well as the items they brought into the palace. There was nothing unusual, except..."

Meng Yong pursed his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Say!"

Seeing Meng Yong's hesitation, Emperor Tianqi slammed the dragon bed hard, coughing in anger, and frightened Zheng Tianbao and Meng Yong.

"Except... the brocade box that Princess Qingyi brought into the palace!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

Emperor Tianqi on the dragon bed narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something carefully, or thinking about something, and finally he couldn't help coughing.

Zheng Tianbao wanted to stand up and look after Emperor Tianqi, but stopped at the other's stern gaze. He continued to kneel on the ground in fear and trepidation, with his head lowered even more.

That brocade box... Actually, he also had some doubts.

But everyone in the world knows that the Emperor and Princess Qingyi have a deep relationship. Even if he ruled out all possibilities, he would never dare to mention it in front of the Emperor!

Fortunately, Commander Meng was a man of honesty. After breaking through this layer of window paper, he passed this hurdle...

The Emperor Tianqi's subsequent reaction was just as Zheng Tianbao had expected.

Regarding the poisoning incident, Emperor Tianqi ordered Meng Yong to just make some noise during the investigation and there was no need to arrest the real culprit.

As for the matter of the brocade box, it must be kept secret and no one else should know about it.

After Zheng Tianbao and Meng Yong left, Emperor Tianqi summoned Imperial Physician Zhang and asked him in detail about his poisoning and detoxification, as well as the reactions of the people around him.

In the case of Red Coral, Doctor Zhang's testimony helped Chen Lingyi clear her suspicion, so Luo Xiaoran suspected that Doctor Zhang had defected to Chen Lingyi.

In fact, Doctor Zhang's choice was to follow Emperor Tianqi wholeheartedly, and it was also the order given to him by Emperor Tianqi to remove Chen Lingyi from the Red Coral case.

When he heard that the poison he was poisoned with came from Western Xinjiang, a sinister look flashed across Emperor Tianqi's face. How could the poison from Western Xinjiang be able to flow freely in his palace in Daliang? ! ! !

Imperial Physician Zhang did not dare to deceive Emperor Tianqi, and reported in detail that both of these poisons from Western Xinjiang were very rare. The entire Imperial Hospital was at a loss at the time. Fortunately, Du Kongqing, who had learned the true skills of Du Yannian, knew the antidote, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Emperor Tianqi had never expected that his unintentional act of agreeing to Luo Xiaoran's proposal to send Du Kongqing to the Imperial Hospital for study would actually save his life in the end!

"Du Kongqing...how is his performance in the Imperial Medical Bureau?" Emperor Tianqi suddenly asked Imperial Physician Zhang.

Doctor Zhang knew that Emperor Tianqi was going to reward Du Kongqing. After thinking for a while, he replied truthfully:

"Although Du Kongqing is a girl, she is quite talented in medicine. The most rare thing is that she is willing to work hard to learn and practice. Her future in medicine is limitless."

……

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Du Kongqing, a female doctor from the Imperial Hospital, has made great contributions in saving the emperor. She is to be granted the title of Talented Person and moved into the palace to live. This is my decree."

After returning from the Qianqing Palace, Du Kongqing's status in the Imperial Medical Bureau rose sharply.

Originally, he had to prepare medicinal materials, boil medicinal soups and ointments every day, and do some apprentice work. Only after being busy could he sneak into the library to read medical books.

Now, no one tells her what to do.

She could look through all the medical books in the Imperial Medical Bureau's collection at any time, and ask any questions she had, and the imperial doctors would answer her questions in a gentle voice.

You know, when she asked for advice before, she often encountered the imperial physician with a stern face. Not only did he not give her an answer, but he also scolded her.

Du Kongqing felt extremely happy. What made her happiest was that after she saved Emperor Tianqi, she would definitely be rewarded with gold and silver jewelry, antique silk...

The items have the mark of the Inner Court's supervision and are difficult to sell, but the gold and silver can be melted again, and after all traces are erased, they can be given to Xiao Ran and used as military pay for the Northern Border Army.

So, when she was called out to receive the imperial edict, Du Kongqing couldn't help but smile, until she heard the contents of the imperial edict, her face turned pale in an instant.

"Mr. Du, please accept my order and express your gratitude!"

Seeing that Du Kongqing was silent for a long time, Zheng Tianbao, who came to announce the decree, thought that she was so happy that she was at a loss, so he reminded her with a smile on his face.

The imperial physicians who were kneeling on the ground in the Imperial Medical Bureau had never expected that Du Kongqing, who was once ordered around by them, would suddenly become a palace concubine. They all sighed in their hearts that she was so lucky.

Only the person involved, Du Kongqing, felt dizzy and full of resistance. She could not accept the imperial edict, but disobeying the order was a capital crime!

In a very short period of time, Du Kongqing felt countless images surging in his mind.

There are scenes of playing in front of his parents, scenes of going up the mountain to collect herbs with Xiao Ran, and scenes of quarreling and bickering with Sun Qingyuan...

Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. If she becomes the concubine of Emperor Tianqi, it will be difficult for her to see these most important people in her life.

Thinking of this, Du Kongqing felt his chest stuffy and his blood flowing backwards, and finally his eyes went dark and he passed out.

When her mind was still somewhat clear, she seemed to hear someone shouting:

"Hurry up! Du Cairen has been overworked taking care of the emperor and has fainted!"

……

Prince An's Mansion.

"boom!"

A most ordinary tea bowl on the market, worth three cents, was thrown out by Luo Xiaoran with great skill. It hit the marble floor and scattered debris all over the ground.

Luo Xiaoran couldn't bear to smash the expensive set of white porcelain tea set, as she kept it specifically for show. She only had this one set, and the rest were exchanged for money and used as military pay for the Northern Border Army.

"Dog Emperor! You must have taken the wrong medicine!"

"Is there anyone who treats his savior this way?"

"What wind is it that's blowing him? Northwest wind?"

Luo Xiaoran cursed loudly while reminding Wei An, "Be careful not to cut your hands."

And then... continue to curse.

"Why don't you buy a mirror from my shop to look at yourself? How can he be worthy of our Kong Qing?"

Wei An, who was squatting on the ground picking up the debris, couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this:

"Princess, the emperor is handsome, and he is the emperor, the owner of the highest power in the world. There is no saying that he is not worthy of others."

Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but choke when she heard this, her beautiful eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"I don't care. Kong Qing cannot enter the palace. That broken place is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It has ruined the youth and lives of countless women from ancient times to the present. It should not be the place where Kong Qing will end up."

Seeing the furious Luo Xiaoran, Wei An felt relieved but helpless at the same time.

Fortunately, her master was a very good person, especially kind to women, which seemed so out of place in an era when women were looked down upon and restricted.

Unfortunately, imperial power is supreme, and no matter how indignant the princess is, she cannot change this fact.

"Princess, Miss Du was sent to Zhilan Palace after she fainted. I will pay close attention to the news there and keep you informed at any time."
