Xiao Jing fell ill.
The illness came on suddenly, and when it struck, he had a splitting headache, which made Xiao Jing very dissatisfied.
However, what made him even more dissatisfied was yet to come.
Because of the persistent headache, he became extremely irritable. The imperial physician tried many methods before he finally stopped the pain.
But that very night, he had a nightmare.
In his dreams, there were always people who wanted to kill him. He held a long knife in his hand and chopped down countless people, but in the end, he was stabbed in the vitals by someone next to him!
Xiao Jing woke up from a nightmare in shock, only to smell a burnt smell.
He woke up instantly and almost shouted out immediately: "Someone come - someone come - someone come quickly -"
While shouting, he rolled out of bed, not even having time to put on his shoes, and rushed out barefoot in a panic.
The palace maids and guards who were guarding outside rushed in immediately. Seeing his miserable appearance, everyone was shocked.
Xiao Jing looked at everyone coldly, memorizing all their faces in his mind, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Look quickly, where is the fire!"
Leaving this order, he rushed out without hesitation.
When he got outside the bedroom, Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no fire around.
But as a gust of cool breeze blew, his splitting headache came again.
"what--"
Xiao Jing pressed his temples in pain, and the violence in his heart grew stronger.
At the same time, the palace maids and guards finally found the location of the fire.
Several people's hearts sank, and they all felt extremely embarrassed.
Because the fire was obviously in the secret room, but that place was a restricted area and only Xiao Jing could enter. They didn't even know where the mechanism was.
Now that the secret room is on fire, what should they do?
Do we have to let Xiao Jing put out the fire?
If they really dared to say that, Xiao Jing would definitely kill them!
But if we don't care and let the fire in the secret room continue to burn, it might spread outside.
By then, the fire will get bigger and bigger, and if they can't control it, they will still have no way out!
So they looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, they decided to go find Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing was suffering from a splitting headache at this time, and he became increasingly irritable.
Upon learning that the secret room was on fire, he looked coldly at the person who reported it, and the murderous intent in his heart became even stronger.
However, he gritted his teeth and ultimately did not let anyone open the secret room to put out the fire. He just stared intently in the direction of the secret room and asked in a deep voice, "Will the fire inside burn out?"
The palace servant who came to report could only say cautiously, "Your Majesty, this fire is burning, and there may be wind. If it is sealed like this for a while, the fire should go out on its own after burning for a while.
I just don't know the exact location of the fire. If it's too close to the entrance door, once the fire burns through the door, it will spread outside."
When Xiao Jing heard this, his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Then guard carefully. If the fire inside spreads outside, put it out immediately! Don't let my bedroom burn down!"
The palace maid was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head: "Your servant obeys your command!"
Xiao Jing's face darkened and he said nothing.
His headache is getting worse now because he is worried that the fire in the secret room will spread outside!
And he really couldn't understand why the fire started in the secret room?
There's obviously no one inside!
The more Xiao Jing thought about it, the more his headache became. Soon the pain became unbearable and he had to ask someone to call the imperial physician.
When the imperial physician rushed over, he saw that Xiao Jing looked grim, so he immediately took his pulse and asked about his condition.
Xiao Jing frowned impatiently: "Just give me the medicine directly, why are you asking so many questions?"
The imperial physician did not dare to refute and could only take out the pill and let Xiao Jing take it.
The pills did not take effect immediately, which made Xiao Jing's face even uglier.
The servants around were all terrified and kept silent.
It wasn't until the pills gradually took effect and Xiao Jing's headache was gradually suppressed that his complexion looked a little better.
He was impatient to wait, so he left a palace servant to guard the place and went to a side hall to rest.
Unexpectedly, after falling asleep again, he had the same nightmare again. He was repeatedly stabbed in his dreams, and in the end even the people around him stabbed him.
Xiao Jing was so angry that he wanted to kill the other person, but his limbs were too heavy to lift, as if they were being held tightly by countless cold hands. He could only watch himself die under the other person's knife.
again and again.
When his dream body finally broke free from its restraints, he woke up from his nightmare in shock.
Xiao Jing suddenly opened his eyes, with lingering fear and murderous intent in his heart.
He kept gasping for breath, but found himself covered in cold sweat.
"Someone come -- someone come --"
Xiao Jing screamed in panic.
The palace servant guarding outside the door walked in quickly, glanced at him quickly, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further, but just standing there respectfully.
Xiao Jing asked anxiously, "How's the fire in the bedroom? Is it out?"
The palace servant couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then said carefully: "Your Majesty, the fire inside has not yet burned out, it should be out. However, without Your Majesty's order, the servants dare not go in to check."
Xiao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He looked at the sky outside and then asked, "What time is it now?"
The palace servant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's already five o'clock in the morning. Today's morning court..."
Xiao Jing's face immediately darkened: "Help me up and change my clothes! I need to go to court!"
Whenever he thought of the nightmare he had before, he felt a chill down his spine.
He memorized all the faces in his dream.
Now, he had to go and see for himself whether those people would reveal any clues when they knew that he suddenly fell ill!
Xiao Jing dreamed of many people.
Maybe it was because he had killed too many people. As he got older, his suspicion became more and more serious. He always felt that everyone wanted to kill him!
Whether it was the ministers, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, or the guards and concubines.
He believed no one.
He was full of suspicion even towards his own children.
In this nightmare, many people appeared in his dream and raised their butcher knives towards him.
Xiao Jing couldn't feel at ease.
He had to attend the morning court to see his ministers in person, otherwise he would not even dare to close his eyes to sleep.
After breakfast, Xiao Jing rode on the dragon chariot to attend court.
But as soon as he got outside and the wind blew on his body, his head started to hurt again.
Xiao Jing quickly became irritable.
But he didn't dare to get angry.
He is old and must not reveal his weaknesses.
So he forced himself to finish the morning court session, but because of his splitting headache, he simply couldn't concentrate on carefully listening to what his ministers were saying.
There was no way to observe their expressions carefully.
Xiao Jing's eyes were bloodshot from the pain, and he looked murderous to everyone he looked at.
Those faces gradually overlapped with the faces in his dreams.
After the morning court session ended, he immediately rushed back to the bedroom, dismissed everyone, and came to the door of the secret room.
There was still a burnt smell in the air, but the temperature here was not high, and it was obvious that the fire inside had long been extinguished.
After Xiao Jing made sure it was safe, he immediately opened the secret room.
In an instant, a strong smell of burning, accompanied by countless black ashes, rushed towards him.
