Consort Xian glanced at the Second Prince. This fool doesn't even call the Emperor "Father" anymore.
It's no wonder that such an idiot can't accomplish anything.
Zhang Xiucheng, as the Minister of Revenue, spoke up: "Eunuch Wei, it's one thing that the Emperor is unconscious and won't let us in, but he's even blocking the princes. If you don't make way, we'll suspect you have ulterior motives."
Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhang Xiucheng.
Just as the Second Prince was continuing to give Zhang Xiucheng meaningful glances, a voice suddenly rang out.
"What are you all arguing about here for!"
Prince Rui strode over.
"Prince Rui".
All the civil and military officials bowed in greeting, and even the Second Prince fell silent.
Prince Rui was the Emperor's uncle, and he fought alongside the Retired Emperor to conquer the world.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. What are you all doing here? This isn't a market! I'll just go in." Prince Rui told these people to leave quickly; he found them annoying.
After living a good life for too long, all they do is look for trouble.
Some hothead stepped forward and shouted, "Prince Rui, you're blocking everyone from entering, yet you're going in by yourself. Are you trying to take advantage of the Emperor's unconsciousness to commit some nefarious act?"
Prince Rui laughed angrily, "What are you doing? If I wanted the throne, would you even have a place in the world? Get out of here!"
One sentence silenced everyone, leaving them speechless and unable to refute it.
When the retired emperor abdicated, he originally intended for Prince Rui to ascend the throne.
It was because he himself was unwilling that Xuanyuan Hongye was able to sit on the throne.
Prince Rui snorted inwardly as he looked at the ministers who were swaying like quails. His elder brother had clearly used the throne to test him back then. Fortunately, he was smart enough to live so many more years. However, that didn't stop him from bringing it up.
The second prince lowered his head, his face grim. That old bastard, Eunuch Wei, had actually informed Prince Rui so quickly.
With Prince Rui here, he has no way of finding out the truth about his father's poisoning today.
Prince Rui ordered the Imperial Guards to guard the area, and then strode inside.
Upon entering, they indeed saw Xuanyuan Hongye lying unconscious on the dragon bed, his face ashen.
"What's going on?" Prince Rui asked Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei said anxiously, "This servant is unaware. His Majesty suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood during the morning court session. Everything His Majesty eats is tested for poison. This servant didn't even know when he was poisoned."
This is really too sudden.
"The imperial physicians have already diagnosed it, but they cannot determine what poison the Emperor has been poisoned with."
The imperial physicians were at a loss, and Eunuch Wei was almost in tears. He was the one who least wanted anything to happen to the emperor; if the emperor died, he would have no way to survive.
"What antidote do we have now? There's no medicine at all?" Prince Rui was also troubled.
The border regions are not yet stable. If this nephew were to suddenly die at this critical juncture, we would likely face both internal and external troubles once again.
Eunuch Wei was extremely anxious. "The Imperial Hospital doesn't know what kind of poison it is, so they dare not administer any medicine rashly."
Prince Rui suddenly remembered something, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and handed it over.
"Give this to the Emperor; it was given to him by the Emperor Emeritus."
His unreliable elder brother is actually quite reliable sometimes; surely he wouldn't sell him a fake medicine for 600,000.
Even if it's fake medicine, it doesn't matter, since it's my own son who will be harmed anyway.
Upon hearing that it was given by the Emperor Emeritus, Eunuch Wei dissolved the medicine and fed it to the Emperor without any suspicion.
Now he can only trust Prince Rui.
After taking the medicine, Eunuch Wei said, "Why does Your Majesty's complexion seem to have improved?"
"This servant will immediately fetch the imperial physician to take a look!"
"It's not a magic pill, how could it work so quickly?"
After Prince Rui finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Wake up quickly."
He's already this old, and all he wants is to enjoy his retirement; he really doesn't want to suffer anymore.
……
……
The scenery around Beijing is quite nice.
Next to the manor Jiang Changtian mentioned is a maple forest, where the maple leaves turn fiery red at this time of year.
When the sun sets, the maple forest will be exceptionally beautiful.
"This place is nice, perfect for a picnic." Qin Niangzi got off the carriage in a good mood.
The estate is quite large, and there were still many horse-drawn carriages parked under the carriage shed at the entrance, so it seems that other people have come to visit.
The fee here was ten taels of silver per person. Lin Shuyun, who had just received hundreds of thousands of silver notes, was very generous; after paying the fee, everyone went inside.
The servant leading the way said, "Gentlemen, this is the courtyard where you will rest today. Everything prepared on the table is available for your use. If you need anything, please let the servant know, but there will be an additional charge."
Lin Shuyun casually picked up a small booklet, and surprisingly, everything in it was clearly priced. "The person who opened this estate is quite remarkable," she remarked.
Isn't this just like a tourist attraction before the apocalypse?
Opening such a beautiful estate to the public, anyone with money can come and have a look. Even if you don't spend any money, you still have to pay at least ten yuan just to see the scenery. They really know how to do business.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a young gentleman said, "Thank you for your compliment, young lady."
Lin Shuyun couldn't help but take a second look at this person.
The person who came was wearing a blue robe with a white fox fur draped over his shoulders.
With his hair as black as clouds and his face pale with a sickly complexion, he looked like a refined and elegant young master at first glance.
She's already wearing a fox fur coat after only a few months; she looks very weak.
Qin Niangzi glanced at the man and said, "Who are you? It's not like we're praising you. Is it polite of you to just casually respond like that?"
She'd seen plenty of men like this, flaunting their charm and feigning refinement. They'd come up and strike up a conversation whenever a pretty woman brought up a topic.
"I am Xingzhi, and I also came to this estate for a visit. After hearing this young lady's praise, I also think that the owner of this estate is a wonderful person, so I said something out of turn."
behavior?
It's a good name.
Jiang Changtian noticed that the man frowned slightly.
Old Xu didn't care about the unimportant people and had already grabbed Xiao Qing and Gu Chen to start preparing the barbecue.
"What are you preparing to do? Roast meat? Why not use a stone slab or a tile?"
The man named Xingzhi watched curiously as Old Xu started the fire.
Looking at the prepared ingredients, he could guess that this was roasted meat, or at least the method was novel.
"This is a unique recipe. Want to learn it? If you do, I'll give you a special price for newcomers. It's not 9,999, not 999, just 99 taels of silver. You can learn it and enjoy this novel and delicious dish."
Lin Shuyun casually remarked as she sorted through the iron bamboo skewers.
They'll swindle as many people as they can, making as much money as they can. Once they're rich, they'll buy a similarly large estate.
The young man burst out laughing upon hearing this.
This woman is quite interesting.
Just as he was about to speak, a woman in green ran over anxiously.
"Young master, why did you come this way? Didn't I tell you not to wander around?"
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Changtian and his group with great vigilance, asking, "Who are these people?"
Madam Qin rolled her eyes. "Your young master came to our resting place, and you're asking us who we are? Is that polite?"
Xingzhi said, "Green Ivy, I'm fine. I just came out for a walk. You don't need to be too worried. I know my own body..."
He had barely finished speaking when he began to cough violently, his face not flushed, but sickly pale.
"Young master, young master... someone come quickly!" Green Ivy shouted anxiously.
Just as Qin Niangzi was about to speak, she saw the man suddenly roll his eyes, fall straight backward, and begin to vomit.
"Young master! Someone, come here!"
Green Ivy quickly caught the person.
The young master suddenly fell ill, and she had no choice but to leave him, so she could only lay him down on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Madam Qin covered her nose and stepped back.
Lin Shuyun casually reminded him, "If you lay him flat like that, he'll choke to death on his own vomit. You should lay him on his side!"
Green Ivy tilted her head slightly. "I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on my young master. You'll be very grateful afterward!"
Then he ran quickly to find someone.
It was rolling its eyes and vomiting on the ground; it looked rather frightening.
Xiaoqing suddenly spoke up, "If this kid dies lying here, won't that maid blame us for it?"
As soon as Xiaoqing finished speaking, everyone looked up at him.
