The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 398 7 days

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor.

Even if these new forces wanted to overthrow those pedantic and stubborn aristocratic families, they should not start with King Rui.

Prince Rui knew what Ye Xinran was thinking, so he said, "Who made me deeply trusted by the emperor?"

King Rui smiled bitterly.

“Besides, although these poor students have ambitions, the resources they have are really limited.

If they wanted to achieve their so-called goals, they had to rely on the help of some aristocratic families.

In this way, it is easy to become a knife in the hands of others."

Ye Xinran understood this time.

"King Rui is saying that these people, while saying nicely that they want to suppress the noble families, are actually becoming knives in the hands of others and making wedding clothes for others?"

King Rui nodded, "That's about it. These students are also the pillars of Daliang. I don't want them to be involved in this matter and suffer an unprovoked disaster."

"But if the news His Majesty heard is true, then they are not in unprovoked disaster."

Ye Xinran still felt that these people were not worthy of sympathy or pity.

"As long as the emperor can wake up within seven days, this matter will end well, and I believe it won't have too many consequences."

King Rui sighed.

Ye Xinran nodded, "I understand. I will try my best to wake the emperor up within this time."

In the next few days, in order to facilitate the treatment of the emperor, Ye Xinran and Li Mo lived in the palace.

Even Prince Rui did not go to the camp. He only called his deputy general on the first day to give him some instructions. The rest of the time, he stayed in the palace to watch the people in the Imperial Hospital work.

The imperial doctors studied tonic prescriptions from morning till night. Every time they came up with one, King Rui would have people look up old medical classics, then point out the problems by comparing them and ask them to think again.

Three days later, the imperial doctors were exhausted, and even Huo Qiming could not escape the fate of being tortured.

There were complaints everywhere in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but the one who suffered the most was Song Ming, who was in charge of decocting the medicine.

Ever since he failed to deliver the decocted medicine the first time, Song Ming delivered the medicine at the wrong time almost every time. Either the emperor had just finished an acupuncture and could not be disturbed, or he delivered the medicine too early and it was not yet time to take the medicine.

It's easy to deal with if it's early, just put the medicine on the warm stove and simmer it gently, and then deliver it again later. If it's too late, this bowl of medicine will be boiled in vain, and you will be blamed by King Rui.

All this time had exhausted him mentally and physically, and even when he took a nap, his mind was filled with nightmares.

But what he didn't know was that the medicine he had worked so hard to make, not a single drop of it actually entered the emperor's mouth.

Every time his medicine was delivered, Ye Xinran would replace it with the antidote she made herself.

The palace maids could not tell that Ye Xinran had replaced the medicine, and thought it was sent from the Imperial Hospital.

So when Song Ming asked someone about it, the serving palace maids all answered that they had taken it and all the medicine that was sent to them.

By the fourth day, bad news had already begun to emerge in the previous dynasty.

Some people say that Prince Rui has been staying in the harem, actually using military force to hold the emperor hostage in an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.

Some people also said that Prince Rui poisoned the emperor, and now the emperor is in a coma.

Now that the position of Crown Prince is vacant, Prince Rui might be planning a rebellion.

Several ministers in the court tried to turn the tide and went to the harem to inquire about the situation. When they came back, they said that the emperor was seriously ill and Prince Rui had stayed in the palace to take care of him.

The government is now temporarily managed by the Fourth Prince.

But those new-school students didn't believe it at all.

They demanded that the emperor come forward in person to give an explanation. If the emperor could not come forward, it would mean that it was true that Prince Rui had held the emperor hostage.

If King Rui wants to prove his innocence, he should hand over his military power and leave the palace.

In the meantime, the Fourth Prince also stepped forward and tried to stabilize the situation.

However, the Third Prince's party took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that the Fourth Prince was colluding with Prince Rui and was planning a rebellion.

In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, they transferred garrison troops from Hu and Guang and wanted to surround the capital.

For a time, the court was in a state of panic and everyone was in danger.

Even ministers who usually never took sides began to consider which side they should stand on in order to wait for the final victory and protect themselves.

Despite the uproar in the previous dynasty, King Rui remained silent.

The people from the Grand Council had already surrounded the harem, and no one could enter or leave.

In order to express their protest, the new-school students sat in silent protest outside the Meridian Gate.

During the sit-in, they refused to eat or drink, and would not stop until King Rui gave up his military power and released the emperor.

When Ye Xinran heard about this, she felt that these people were extremely pedantic, using their own fate to affect the future of others.

In addition to anger, there is more anxiety.

Because on the fifth day, the emperor still hadn't woken up.

"Miss Lu, is our medicine effective?"

Although Li Mo trusted Ye Xinran 100%, at this time, he still couldn't help but ask a question.

"If it's the right medicine for your condition."

Ye Xinran was also a little distressed.

"But the emperor's physical condition is too poor. I have given him the maximum amount of nutrients, but there is still no effect."

"Then is there any other way?"

Li Mo looked at him pitifully.

He has lived in the palace for so many days.

When he left, Prince Rui did not say it would take so long. Now that his father and husband are both stuck in the palace and unable to leave, and with the situation outside being such, he didn't know how anxious Yue Ting would be.

"There is a way."

Ye Xinran said hesitantly.

"But this method is too extreme. It can be said that it concentrates the last bit of vitality in the human body. It is like a flash in the pan. Once it starts, the next step is rapid decline."

When Ye Xinran said this, Prince Rui was also listening clearly.

This matter not only concerns the emperor's health, but also the future of Daliang.

Ye Xinran didn't dare to make a decision easily.

She didn't care who would be the emperor in the future, but she had to ensure that the next emperor would not bully Xiao Huaian.

"If Prince Rui agrees, I will start acupuncture and make the emperor wake up before dawn tomorrow."

Prince Rui has complicated feelings towards the Emperor.

On the one hand, he really did not approve of many of the emperor's behaviors.

On the other hand, seeing that the sons of Emperor Yongfeng used all means to gain imperial power, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Emperor Yongfeng.

So when Ye Xinran made this suggestion, King Rui hesitated.

Seeing that Prince Rui was in a dilemma, Ye Xinran said, "The emperor has been worried too much for many years, and has been controlled by drugs for so long, he has actually become an empty shell.

From a doctor's perspective, I would advise King Rui to make plans early.

Even if this incident had not happened, the emperor probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer.

"Then let's follow your prescription." said King Rui.
