The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world
Chapter 114: Planning every step and controlling everything
"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Prince Yong stepped forward and held the emperor's hand. Suddenly, he found that his father's hand had become much thinner.
"Father, you must take care of your health." Prince Yong looked at the emperor, his expression full of worry.
The emperor also found that his improvement in health seemed to be just an illusion.
Especially recently, he has been feeling more and more sleepy.
Although he could sleep well every day, he asked someone to use a clepsydra to measure the time and found that he slept longer and longer.
The emperor was silent for a while, then looked at the Divine Doctor Yunya beside him and said, "Divine Doctor Yunya, please tell me the truth about my health."
He didn't ask before, perhaps because he wanted to deceive himself and didn't want to admit that his health was as bad as the genius doctor Yunya said.
But just now, in a burst of anger, he almost couldn't breathe.
His mind was foggy, as if he was being controlled by someone, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Divine Doctor Yunya was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, you must not get angry. Anger is extremely harmful to your body. If you keep a good mood, you can... you can live for a few more years. If your blood and qi attack your heart, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" the emperor asked coldly.
"I'm afraid it won't last for a few months." Doctor Yunya said truthfully.
The emperor's bedroom suddenly became quiet. Si Yan looked calm and said nothing, while Prince Yong's eyes were full of shock.
"As expected, I had a premonition." The emperor smiled weakly and leaned against the head of the bed and sighed softly.
He was not afraid of death, but he was really worried because the crown prince had not been appointed and there were constant disputes in the court.
The emperor suddenly realized that some things were urgent and had to be done.
Seeing the emperor's silence, Divine Doctor Yunya continued, "Your Majesty, as long as you rest well, I will take care of you and you will be able to recover."
The emperor nodded slightly, but did not take it seriously. He could hear the comfort in the tone of Yun Ya, the genius doctor.
The emperor looked up at Si Yan and said, "Little girl, tell me, did they also tamper with me...with the medicine I usually take?"
The emperor used to think that he was in good health, but since he suddenly fell seriously ill half a year ago and took a lot of medicine, his health has been getting worse and worse.
The emperor hadn't thought much about it at first, but today he discovered that there was such a big problem in the Imperial Hospital.
Since they dared to tamper with Prince Yong's medicine, would they also dare to tamper with his medicine?
Si Yan didn't speak easily. After all, apart from a problematic calming incense, they didn't find any other evidence.
Besides, this calming incense can't be traced back to the Imperial Concubine anyway.
Si Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, can you have Imperial Physician Fu interrogated thoroughly to see if there is anything you can find out?"
"Well, we must conduct a thorough investigation." The emperor thought calmly, "But who is the right person to conduct the investigation?"
Looking around at all the civil and military officials in the court, they were all silent. Now that he needed to recruit people, he really didn't know who he could trust.
Si Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, "Logically, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court should jointly try the case. However, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zhen Zhinian, was beaten with a stick and is recuperating at home. The position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is vacant, so the only person who is most suitable for the position is the Doctor of the Ministry of Justice."
"The Doctor of the Ministry of Justice..." The emperor thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightening. "I remember now. The Doctor of the Ministry of Justice is Pei Wangjie, the eldest grandson of Duke Pei. Although his abilities are not outstanding, he is a loyal and honest person. I think he is suitable."
The emperor immediately made the decision, "Let Pei Wangjie, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and Cai Yan, the chief judge, investigate this matter together."
Si Yan frowned slightly after hearing this: "Your Majesty, is the Doctor of the Ministry of Justice Pei Wangjie?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" The emperor looked at Si Yan's expression and asked in confusion.
Si Yan spoke slowly, "Your Majesty probably doesn't remember, but Pei Wangjie is my cousin. My mother is the daughter of Duke Pei. Although my mother has been dead for seventeen years, and my father doesn't have much contact with the people in Duke Pei's mansion, the Situ and Duke Pei's mansions are still related by marriage. I'm just afraid that someone might gossip..."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of? With my support, who dares to say anything? Didn't you say it? When promoting the virtuous, it doesn't matter if they are close friends."
This girl didn't even know that the doctor in charge of the Ministry of Justice was her cousin. When she heard that he was going to use Pei Wangjie, she was worried about gossip...
The emperor has made up his mind. He trusts the character of Duke Pei. Although the grandson educated by Duke Pei may not have great talent, he will definitely not deceive him.
Moreover, Duke Pei once had a daughter who was his concubine, but she died of illness after only a few years in the palace.
But he still remembers Concubine Pei's dignified and elegant temperament.
Si Yan replied softly, "With your Majesty's words, I am not afraid anymore."
King Yong remained silent and said nothing, but he understood Ayan's thoughts.
This girl made everything clear first and let the emperor make the decision. Even if someone tries to pull apart the relationship between Duke Pei and the Situ Mansion in the future, this girl has informed the emperor in advance, and no one can say anything.
"You, you..." The emperor raised his finger and tapped Si Yan.
Si Yan said frankly: "Your Majesty, the situation in Shangjing City is complicated now. I have to think about it. Moreover, there are some things that I dare not tell Your Majesty..."
The emperor's eyes sharpened. "Is there anything else you dare not say? Speak."
Si Yan paused for a moment, then spoke solemnly, "The other day, Your Majesty gave me the tranquilizing incense. I asked Divine Doctor Yunya to examine it, and he discovered that one of the incense sticks had a problem..."
"Noble Lady Liu wants to harm me?" The emperor's face suddenly darkened. Why did Noble Lady Liu want to harm him?
Si Yan analyzed, "Whether it was Concubine Liu is still unclear... Your Majesty, just like Wu Hai, the deputy director of the Imperial Hospital, he was just an imperial physician. Why would he want to harm Prince Yong? I believe that someone must have been behind him, and although Concubine Liu made the tranquilizing incense, it's hard to say whether someone else tampered with it."
The emperor's face darkened and his chest heaved violently.
He really didn't expect that someone would even be watching him when he used a calming incense.
Si Yan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, to be honest, the Crown Prince has not yet been appointed, and the situation in the palace is unstable. If someone can get their hands on the Imperial Hospital, they can get their hands on the palace and other places... Your Majesty, you must be on guard."
The emperor slapped the headboard of the bed and said, "I believe the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister's party would not dare to do this!"
As soon as Si Yan heard this, he heard the warning in the emperor's words.
Si Yan knew very well that compared to her, the Imperial Noble Consort was the person closest to the Emperor.
If Si Yan points the finger directly at the Imperial Concubine, he will only bring trouble upon himself.
Of course, the emperor was not stupid. Although he said that she was not the Imperial Noble Consort, only he himself knew whether he was afraid of and suspicious of her in his heart.
Si Yan spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, I also think that it was not the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister who did this. It must be someone who wants to use the names of Prince Xin and the Imperial Noble Consort to cause trouble. It's hard to say, but for the sake of Your Majesty's health, Your Majesty must be careful in everything."
After hearing what Si Yan said, the emperor felt more relaxed. He said coldly, "I understand. I don't need this incense anymore, and I won't go to the Imperial Concubine's place either."
The emperor rubbed his brows tiredly, looking confused and irritated.
Si Yan looked gently at the emperor and said in a calm voice, "If Your Majesty trusts me, I would like to train a group of elite soldiers for Your Majesty. They will be under your command. If there is any unforeseen accident in the palace, Your Majesty will have an extra force at his disposal."
The emperor's eyes suddenly darkened, and he suddenly looked up at Si Yan: "What did you say?"
