Stigma

Outside the palace, the Prince's Mansion.

The servant led an old man in coarse cloth and linen into the inner courtyard through the promenade with a very respectful attitude.

Duan Ruwang had been waiting in the inner courtyard. He tilted his head slightly when he heard the footsteps, and put down the scissors that were trimming the potted plants in his hands.

The next person saluted and said: "Your Highness, the famous Jiangnan doctor Qian Jing is here."

The white-bearded and white-haired genius doctor Qian carried a small medicine box on his back, and saw Duan Ruwang kneeling down and saluting tremblingly: "The Caomin has seen... Your Royal Highness."

Looking up and waving his hand, the person on the side hurriedly helped him to the seat on the side and sat down.

Duanru looked at him intently, and then said for a moment: "Can you really cure my five emperor brother's disease?"

Duan Xichen had been poisoned for more than half a month, and he couldn't move except for that madness, and his expression was full of savage pain as if he had gone mad.

The imperial list was almost posted in every corner of the city. There were countless doctors who revealed the imperial list, but none of them could do anything about it.

The genius doctor Qian hurriedly said: "According to the symptoms of the prince on the emperor's list, it is estimated that 80% of them have been infected with a rare snake venom, which made the whole body stiff and unable to move."

"Snake venom?" Duan Ruwang thought for a while and said, "Then you have a way to solve it?"

The genius doctor Qian seemed to be a little embarrassed: "It is possible to solve it, but..."

He hesitated and stopped.

Duan Ruwang said indifferently: "Say it straight."

The magician Qian said: "It's just that this method is a bit of a tiger and wolf, I'm afraid it will damage the body, and..."

He paused, as if he was frightened and angry, and quickly said: "And once the treatment is started, this medicine can no longer be stopped."

Duan Ruwang was interested, with his hands on his face, he said with a smile, "It's like an addictive poison like Wu Shi San?"

The genius doctor Qian hurriedly said: "That's it. Take a strong medicine every day, and then put on the medicinal incense made with various tiger and wolf medicines. However, you can become addicted in seven days. Although it can relieve the peculiar poison of the prince, Later, I can't live without the fragrance of medicine anymore."

"I can't live without..." Duan Ruwang chuckled softly and murmured, "I can't live without it, his temperament, it's the most unbearable for him to lie on the bed motionlessly and wait for death."

The genius doctor Qian hesitated: "His Royal Highness?"

Duan Ruwang said indifferently: "Then you can take the imperial list into the palace, but remember not to tell other people about the addictive medicine."

The subordinate on the side worried: "His Royal Highness, if someone from the hospital sees it out..."

God Doctor Qian was a cowardly man, but when someone questioned his medical skills, he was a little dissatisfied: "This medicinal fragrance is a recipe passed down from three generations of my family's ancestors. No one has ever known the formula and the efficacy of the medicine. It can only be seen that it is a detoxification prescription."

The servant hurriedly lowered his eyes and took a step back, and didn't interrupt anymore.

Duan Ruwang said: "Then do as I said."

The genius doctor Qian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What if someone knows it?"

Duan Ruwang smiled: "Duan Xichen's illness, not all doctors of the rivers and lakes can go to find the pulse. The prince runs to him every day, naturally he is responsible for the doctor's guidance, and you will follow the prince then. Heal, when the emperor asks in the future, you will say..."

The genius doctor Qian raised his head, looking at him with muddy eyes, showing doubts.

Duan Ruwang said: "Just say, you have told the prince in advance that this medicine can cause addiction, and the prince wants you to continue the treatment."

The genius doctor Qian shivered and said, "This, this... Your Royal Highness... This Climbing Prince..."

Duan Ruwang glanced at him and said: "Do as I said, otherwise I can't guarantee your granddaughter's fate."

The genius doctor Qian trembled all over, and after a long while trembling, he got up and saluted: "Yes."

East Palace.

Sui Yan didn't wear a cloak. He wore a purple brocade shirt to make his whole person extremely thin. He walked out of the side hall with a pale face. From a distance, he saw a woman in a dark green dress rushing towards him regardless of everyone's obstacles. .

Sui Yan's mind is not clear. Seeing this man coming fiercely, he did not hide, holding his forearms with his hands crossed, standing in place with his long body.

Concubine Ning has been spoiled by the emperor for so many years, and her beauty is naturally stunning, even if she is angry with her, her face is still very beautiful.

I saw that glamorous woman walked up to Sui Yan, glared, and slapped her without saying a word.

There was a "pop".

Sui Yan reacted extremely quickly, reaching out and grabbing Concubine Ning's wrist directly, blocking her angry slap.

Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the other hand of the teenager who was holding her wrist slammed her face with a slap.

She used to run rampant in the harem, and even the queen wanted to give her some points. No one had dared to beat her, and immediately closed his eyes in fright.

Everyone exclaimed.

Sui Yan's hand stopped an inch from that glamorous face.

Concubine Ning did not feel the pain, so she hurriedly opened her eyes and saw that she hadn't been beaten. She immediately threw away Sui Yan's hand. She was so angry that she almost breathed fire: "Sui forgets home! You are so bold! You dare to do something to this palace! Do you still know if there are any rules, do you have a tutor?!"

Sui Yan looked at her blankly: "I have met Concubine Ning, and I just saw you and held my palm to my face as soon as I met. I thought this was the new way of saluting in the harem, so I did it in the countryside. It turned out, Shaking other people's faces, just... even if it's an unruly tutor? Then you just..."

Concubine Ning: "..."

The palace people on the side bowed their heads and smiled.

Concubine Ning Gui wanted to give him an offense, but Sui Yan poked her hoofs so simply and rudely.

The palace man who was serving next to Sui Yan salutes neither humble nor arrogantly said: "The imperial concubine, Xiao Hou Ye is convalescing in the East Palace. He is weak and weak. He will feel distressed for half a day when he bumps against His Royal Highness. This will be the medicine. I’m afraid I won’t be able to have a long conversation with my mother."

Concubine Ning said angrily: "Dog minion, where do you have to speak?!"

She got used to being arrogant, and seemed to want to slap someone again. Sui Yan on the side stretched out her hand lightly, spread her five fingers and looked at it casually. She was so scared that she immediately retracted her hand, and could only slap the palace with a vicious look in her eyes. One glance.

The queen and Concubine Ning were at odds, and even the people with the East Palace didn't like her. At this time, seeing her deflated, they all bowed their heads and laughed.

Sui Yan didn't want to let her go so quickly, and said, "You can't die without taking medicine. Forgetting it is time to have a long conversation with your mother. It doesn't matter when it comes to dawn."

Concubine Ning: "..."

Everyone: "..."

This was the first time they saw someone talking to the emperor's woman in such a grand manner. After a moment of stiff, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they all blushed.

Concubine Ning was stunned in the same place, and it took a long time to curse: "Are you crazy?!"

Sui Yan just reacted, tilting his head and muttering: "Oh, yes, I can't say that."

Sui Yan usually has the ability to make people out of shamisen. At this time, he did not give up when he fell ill. He only said a few words from beginning to end, and Concubine Ning's face was irritated.

Sui Yan looks vague now, he whispered softly: "The lady is here today to find Forgotten Home, is there something important?"

Concubine Ning took a deep breath, and even her voice trembled: "It was fine some time before Xichen. Since you went there once, he seems to be crazy. Do you dare to say that you did not poison him? "

Sui Yan said "Oh": "Where is the evidence?"

Concubine Ning did not expect that he could be so calm, and screamed: "Does this still need evidence? A discerning person can see it at a glance!"

In short, there is no evidence.

The pond on the side had melted ice, and several koi carps were swimming around in the middle.

Sui Yan was so quarrelled by her that his ears hurt. He walked slowly a few steps and sat on the stone fence made of sapphire by the pond, intending to sit and listen to her talk.

Concubine Ning pressed her chest with anger.

But she deserves to be the emperor's favorite woman who has been in the deep palace for so many years. Seeing that this is not working, she took a few breaths and tried to calm herself down.

Sui Yan sat on the stone fence and looked down at the koi in the pond. When Concubine Ning was clearing up her emotions, she said to the palace man on the side: "Can you eat fish at noon?"

The palace man wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he forcibly endured it, and said: "Little Hou Ye wants to eat fish, so the servant will let the kitchen make a full fish feast."

Sui Yan nodded and said, "It's so boring, bring some bait over here."

The palace man ran to get the bait.

Concubine Ning: "..."

Concubine Ning felt that the fire she had just suppressed had a tendency to re-emerge. She took another deep breath and said coldly, "Master Xiaohou, this palace will speak straightforwardly. In the past, Xichen was to you. There is a sense of unruly, but he is still young, and the crime does not end here. I hope you will let him make a living for your majesty's sake."

Sui Yan's eyes were full of red koi swimming around, and the voice in his ears was a little hazy. He thought to himself: "Oh, if you can't get off the horse, you can change your strategy."

But his mind is too unclear now, he can say whatever he thinks in his mind, and Concubine Ning's face turns green as soon as he speaks.

Sui Yan didn't know that he had said what he was thinking. He casually fed the fish with the bait sent by the palace man, and whispered softly, "I didn't harm him."

Concubine Ning: "But he..."

When Sui Yan heard that she was about to use the discerning person again, he tilted his head slightly, and said, "Then if I jump directly from here, can the discerning person see at a glance that you forced me down?"

Concubine Ning: "..."

Palace person: "..."

Sui Yan tilted his head, his face was calm and calm: "You...you will beat me as soon as you meet, and then you will frame me for murdering the prince. If you left others with such humiliation, you would have been ashamed and slammed to death. Now, I shouldn't be too much to jump into a pond."

Concubine Ning glared at him with gritted teeth, and then lowered her voice for a long time: "Aren't you afraid that my palace will go to your majesty to sue you?"

"Oh," Sui Yan said, "the imperial concubine went to tell her majesty how the five princes have coveted beauty and deceived others over the years. Tell him how many children's lives are in the hands of the five princes, and then tell your majesty that he is bold enough to dare. The son of a coveted courtier."

Concubine Ning was taken aback.

Sui Yan looked at her and whispered softly: "Then again, I poisoned him because he was indecent and humiliated and secretly hated him, didn't I?"

Concubine Ning was suddenly unsteady. Of course she could not tell the emperor these words. The embarrassed appearance of Duan Xichen during this period of time had long caused the emperor to feel dissatisfied. If this kind of thing was shaken out again, it would be completely lost. The emperor took shelter, so can he still live?

Sui Yan thoughtfully: "If the imperial concubine really wants to use this kind of thing as evidence and tell the emperor to listen to it, she can take me to testify with the emperor. Anyway, I am shameless, and there is also time."

Concubine Ning was supported by the maid behind her, and said with difficulty: "You... are you not afraid of what others say about you?"

Sui Yan said: "What other people say about me, what does it have to do with me, I am not alive for them."

Since meeting Sui Yan, Concubine Ning Gui has been led by his nose all the way.

Like the imperial concubine who bite like a mad dog, and the haggard-faced Little Hou Ye who always whispered softly, countless palace people on the side could see who was at a disadvantage even if they had no eyesight.

Concubine Ning was extremely embarrassed, but she also calmed down completely. Just waiting to speak, a palace man rushed over from a distance. Before she had time to kneel and salute, she said anxiously: "Manny, your Royal Highness seems to have found a genius doctor who can heal the Five Highnesses. I’m getting my pulse in the dormitory now!"

Concubine Ning Gui loved her son as fate, and she didn't have time to find Sui Yan's fault, so she hurried away with someone.

Sui Yan was still sitting on the stone fence and sprinkling the bait, turned his head for a long time, and said blankly, "Where is the person?"

The palace man opened his eyes and smiled: "Little Houye, the imperial concubine has been gone for a long time."

Sui Yan was a little disappointed at once. He didn't say a few words yet. Why did the woman leave so quickly? It's so careless.

Gong Ren said: "Master Xiaohou, the medicine is ready, it's time to take the medicine."

Sui Yan shook his head and stood up to himself: "No, no medicine, I'm tired and want to go to sleep."

He said, regardless of the imperial impediment, he swayed to the side hall, slumped into the quilt without taking off his clothes, and fell asleep groggy in a short while.
