The prince is shameless

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 25th year of Anlong, the first snow of the year fell in Zhang'an City.

In the year of auspicious snow, the prince of the Northern Dynasty also completed one of the two important ceremonies in his life-the ceremony of crowning on this day.

All the officials congratulated, and everyone was beaming.

Emperor Anlong showed a rare smile, and immediately announced amnesty to the world.

The prince and the crown also means that the prince will be a teacher, and the accompaniment beside him, please assist the prince for another year. Emperor Anlong readily agreed and bestowed the title of Zhongdoctor, from the fourth rank.

In the Northern Dynasties, Zhong Dafu was just a casual official position to show favor, without actual power, so it was just right to bestow Wen Xing.

During this period, Wen Xing proposed to Xie Yi to go back to live in Wen's residence, but Xie Yi refused because he was worried.

This was just for a formality. After being rejected, Wen Xing continued to live in the East Palace with peace of mind.

More than a month passed without incident. Just after the Lantern Festival, news of the empress' coma suddenly came from the palace.

"what?!"

Xie Yi hurriedly sat up from the chair, and didn't care about continuing to eat breakfast, leaving a sentence "I'll go to my mother's side to have a look" and left in a hurry.

Xie Qing looked at Xie Yi's leaving back, his eyes darkened slightly.

Wen Xing remembered that Xie Qing once said that his mother and concubine didn't value him very much, and felt a sense of sympathy for him for a moment, and asked softly, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

The queen is generous and kind, and when she visited the East Palace several times, she treated Xie Qing like her own child, and she also cared for Wen Xing.

"Is it okay?" Xie Qing confirmed carefully.

He didn't know much about these things, and he didn't know if it was considered etiquette to show up at such a time.

Wen Xing smiled and comforted, "It's certainly possible."

Xie Qing was relieved, and after a hasty breakfast, she and Wen Xing rushed to Qinglan Palace where the empress lived.

Many people had already gathered inside and outside Qinglan Palace, most of them were concubines who had heard the news from the harem—but among the concubines, there was still no figure of Xie Qing's mother concubine Xu.

Because Xie Qing was the sixth prince, he was put into Qinglan Palace after the notification.

Apart from Xie Yi, only Emperor Anlong, Empress Xie, Xie Lian, the imperial physician and a few servants were present in the palace.

It's just that the moment he entered, Wen Xing vaguely smelled a different smell in the palace.

Very light, but still captured by the sensitive Wen Xing.

He didn't think about it, it would disturb the imperial physician's diagnosis, he silently bowed and pulled Xie Qing to stand beside Xie Yi.

After a while, the imperial physician who took the pulse slowly stood up.

Xie Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

The imperial doctor shook his head lightly, and said: "I tried my best, but I still can't find out what kind of disease the Empress is suffering from."

Xie Yi frowned tightly, and there was a trace of uneasiness between his brows.

The empress of the previous life survived until the death of Emperor Anlong, why is she suddenly suffering from an illness, which even the imperial physicians can't find out?

Everyone in Qinglan Palace fell into silence.

The queen lay quietly on the bed, her face was pale but she still couldn't hide her beauty.

I still remember that the empress back then was hailed as the number one beauty in the Northern Dynasties, she married the emperor gracefully, and then was promoted all the way to be the empress mother.

She is generous, knowledgeable and reasonable, and even gets along well with all the concubines, especially Xie Lian's concubine, so it is unlikely that she will be framed.

So what's going on?

No one can tell.

At this moment, Wen Xing felt someone beside him shake his hand slightly.

He glanced sideways and looked at Xie Qing suspiciously.

The atmosphere in the palace was oppressive, Xie Qing couldn't speak rashly, and after signaling Wen Xing to come over, she lowered her voice and said, "We... can we go now? I feel a little dizzy staying here..."

Xie Qing knew that it would be rude to make this request at this time, but she still couldn't help but want to leave.

But even though he deliberately lowered his voice, Xie Yi who was standing beside him still heard it, and asked with a frown, "Why is Xiaoqing dizzy all of a sudden?"

Xie Yi's words caught the attention of the others.

"I don't know either." Xie Qing shook her head, her voice was still very soft, "It was fine at first, but after waiting for a while, I suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy."

"It just so happens that the imperial physician is here, you can show Xiao Liu."

Emperor An Long on the side also spoke.

The imperial doctor was ordered to take Xie Qing's pulse, but the result was the same as the empress's - the pulse was normal and nothing unusual could be detected.

Aside from the turmoil last time, Xie Qing was still afraid of her father, afraid that he would think that she was here to find trouble, so she lowered her head and explained in a low voice: "I... my son, my son is real!" I feel dizzy and have absolutely no intention of making trouble."

But at this time, Wen Xing thought about it.

Xie Qing felt uncomfortable only after she came in, but according to the imperial doctor's words, it was similar to the queen's situation.

【"Fortunately, because the sixth prince is naturally sensitive to drugs, he showed signs of poisoning when he took it for the first time..."】

Wen Xing remembered what the imperial physician said last time, and quickly said, "I have a guess..."

As soon as he made a sound, all eyes in the room focused on him again.

Wen Xing considered the words for a while, and continued: "I am more sensitive to various smells. When I came in just now, I smelled a slightly pungent smell in Qinglan Palace. The imperial physician had said that the six halls have a special quality. Sensitive to drugs. So is it possible that there is something wrong with the incense used in Qinglan Palace?"

Wen Xing's guess gave a direction for investigation, and Emperor Anlong immediately ordered the imperial physician to take the incense from Qinglan Palace back for research.

There is nothing else left and right, Emperor Anlong is busy with government affairs, it is difficult to get out of the body, and it is almost time to leave now.

Except for Side Queen and Xie Yi who stayed behind, the rest also retreated after Emperor An Long left.

Xie Lian, who rarely came to the East Palace because he was busy with military affairs, happened to be a short distance away, so he simply went back together.

"Hey, why didn't I smell any pungent smell in the Queen's Palace?"

On the way, Xie Lian couldn't help asking.

Wen Xing smiled lightly, and said, "I'm just more sensitive to these smells, it's normal that the Second Highness can't smell them."

Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and praised his sense of smell, then he seemed to think of something, and said: "Speaking of which, I heard that the saintesses of the Yunwu tribe also have a keen sense of smell, and even a slight sniff can Can you tell what spices are made of what, too?"

"I haven't tried it, but it probably won't work."

Wen Xing didn't take Xie Lian's ridicule to heart, and changed the topic after a perfunctory reply.

After returning to the East Palace all the way, Wen Xing chatted with Xie Qing about some policies and systems of the previous dynasty, arranged a few questions for him to go back and ponder over, and left him for lunch before sending him back to his courtyard.

Xie Yi still didn't come back.

From a certain level, this matter was actually a family affair of their royal family, Wen Xing couldn't get involved, so he didn't go looking for Xie Yi, wandered around the East Palace alone for a while, and then went back to his room to find something to do.

Because he is still staying in the palace under the pretext of assisting Xie Yi, with the name of a Chinese doctor receiving a salary from the fourth rank, in fact, he has changed his title to get an extra salary, and he still has nothing to do every day .

About half an hour later, Xie Yi returned to the East Palace.

"How is the empress?"

Wen Xing asked irrelevantly, in fact, he knew that the situation was still not very good from Xie Yi's gloomy expression.

Xie Yi sighed softly, pressed the center of his eyebrows, and replied: "The queen mother still has no signs of waking up. The imperial doctor said earlier that if she hasn't woken up within three days, it is very likely that she will never wake up."

Things were more serious than Wen Xing thought.

He looked at Xie Yi's sad look, and comforted him: "The empress is Hong Ze Qitian, she will be fine."

In fact, Wen Xing's words were not casually said for comfort.

The queens in the previous life, big and small, have survived many illnesses, but when Wen Xing died, she was promoted to the empress dowager and she was still healthy, and she could stop in the imperial garden to admire the cold plum blossoms for a long time in the cold winter weather.

Although I have never encountered this kind of situation in my previous life, I might be able to save my life from bad luck just like back then.

Distraught, Xie Yi listened to Wen Xing's words, and reluctantly nodded, as if he had listened.

Knowing that he was disturbed, Wen Xing resigned and left not long after, leaving him alone.

The next day, news came from the imperial physician, confirming that the spice was indeed mixed with some drugs that may cause poisoning if long-term exposure.

It's just that the imperial physician couldn't give an answer as to why this drug was used and whether it would cause death—there has never been any relevant records of this type of drug before.

Emperor Anlong angrily scolded "trash" when he heard the words, but he still didn't say anything, and ordered them to search for relevant information quickly.

And Xie Yi even ran towards Qinglan Palace from time to time, looking as if he really wanted to stay there.

Wen Xing would occasionally take Xie Qing over to check on the situation, and usually because it was inconvenient to stay for too long, he would really just leave.

On the third day after the queen fell into a coma, Yoyo finally woke up just in time for the deadline.

"Yi'er?"

Xu Shi had been in a coma for a long time, and the queen's soft voice became hoarse.

It happened that Wen Xing was leading Xie Qing to stand by the table at this time, he hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Xie Yi, and then Xie Yi delivered it to the empress's lips.

"Mother, please drink your saliva first."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xie Yi gently handed over the water glass, seeing the queen take a few sips before handing it back to Wen Xing.

The queen looked around at the few people present, and asked weakly: "What's the matter, why are you all looking so bad?"

"After you return to your mother, you have been in a coma for three days." Xie Yi replied with lowered eyes, "If you don't wake up today, the imperial doctor will be powerless to recover."

After Xie Yi said this, the queen realized that there seemed to be such a thing.She let out a breath, and said in a daze: "Yes, I suddenly felt weak all over before, but I didn't expect to be unconscious for three days, which made you worry."

"It's nothing, it's fine if you wake up, Empress Mother." Xie Yi smiled, then turned his head and asked Wen Xing, "Did you call the imperial physician?"

Wen Xing nodded, and said: "When the Empress woke up just now, the minister had already ordered the maid to find the imperial physician."

The queen who was lying on the bed heard this and praised with a smile: "Xiaoxing is still so reliable in his work. With you by Yi'er's side, I feel at ease."
