The officials couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Qian Xun! You, you are vulgar! After all, you are also an official of the imperial court, and this is the imperial court. How can you be so incompetent in your words and deeds? It is simply unbecoming!"

After Qian Xun spat, he let out a fierce breath and felt much relieved.Facing the questions from the officials, he raised his chin in an arrogant manner, as if "what can you do to me?"

The officials had no choice but to turn to his father: "Qian Song, take care of your son!"

Qian Song looked at his nose and heart, and simply shrank into a deaf man. Written all over his body: The son's personal behavior has nothing to do with his biological father.

Qian Xun couldn't explain it, but Qian Xun didn't care about praising Qian Xun. The officials almost died of anger in the main hall. In grief and anger, they all knelt down and cried to Emperor Jingfeng: "Your Majesty! That fellow Qian Xun is so humiliating. Let me wait and ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the humble minister..."

Emperor Jingfeng gloated after watching a big show, and finally could no longer sit idly by and ignore it. He coughed twice and pretended to be serious: "Okay, no matter how you look at the meeting, get up and cry."

Emperor Jingfeng disliked pressure and coercion from others. It was one thing for him to do something himself or not, but another thing for others to ask him to do it.

The second prince's party secretly forced him to deal with the prince. Emperor Jingfeng was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't openly say it. Now Qianxun has silenced these officials, which is exactly what Emperor Jingfeng wants, so how can he do it? punish him.

"As for Qian Xun, he was just a quick talker for a while. Arguments are common in court meetings. For the sake of Qian Xun's youth and vigorous spirit, please be generous and don't argue with him."

This is said as if they are still narrow-minded and care about everything.The officials were dumbfounded, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only swallow silently.

Returning to the topic, Emperor Jingfeng calmed down and said, "But Qian Xun is right about one thing. Gu Yunji, the prefect of Shaoxing, was seriously injured while trying to save the prince. He is a loyal and good minister of Daxia. If he is ignored, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the people of the world?" Chilling?"

"Currently, we should focus on removing the strange poison in Gu Yunji's body, and make the Imperial Hospital pay close attention to it. The medicinal materials in the royal private treasury can be used at will. There is no need to ask anyone in particular, and he must be cured at all costs. As for...the prince's fault, Let’s put it aside for now and wait until Gu Yunji recovers from his injury before we discuss it.”

The ministers looked at each other in shock and did not dare to contradict Emperor Jingfeng. They could only respond respectfully in unison: "Yes, I will obey your Majesty's imperial edict."

-

Emperor Jingfeng had spoken, so the imperial hospital naturally tried its best. Every day, the imperial doctors came in and out of the garden, either busy preparing antidote formulas, or searching through medical techniques to find solutions to the problem.That nervous and anxious look seemed as if Gu Yunji really had some incurable disease.

At first, some people expressed doubts about this, but as time went by, the precious medicinal materials in the royal private treasury were consumed like running water. Prince Li Jinze also frowned all day long, worried about Gu Yunji's condition, and the voices of doubt couldn't be more true. It gradually became smaller.

Gu Yunji's experience is legendary. His reputation in Zhejiang in the southwest and southeast is very good. I heard that he was seriously ill to save the prince, and now he is in danger. This wind gradually spread to the capital, and storytellers extolled how wise he was. Fighting Japanese pirates and bravely sacrificing his life to save the prince made him a famous figure in Beijing for a while.

The common people spontaneously prayed for Gu Yunji, and literati also praised his deeds.Under the tearful sobs of Qian Xun, an upright minister, even the ministers' hearts gradually turned towards Gu Yunji, and they began to care about his condition and hoped for his early recovery.

After more than a month of this, Gao Shishu, who had endured various interrogations in the Ministry of Punishment, finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed the "recipe" of a strange poison.With the formula in hand, Tai Hospital made rapid progress, and the antidote was developed in just a few days. At the same time, Gu Yunji's condition naturally began to "improve."

Emperor Jingfeng was overjoyed to learn that Gu Yunji was about to recover. He took the prince out of the palace to visit him in person, and gave him many rewards and honors.All the officials observed Emperor Feng's attitude and sensed the changing situation in the DPRK. They followed him one after another, vying to give gifts to Gu Yunji and build relationships on the pretext of visiting his illness.

Since then, Bieyuan has been crowded with visitors, with an endless stream of guests visiting every day.Gu Yunji was busy socializing and entertaining, and his face was stiff with smiles all day long. He felt that his fake illness was about to turn into a real illness.

After finally staying up until evening, Gu Yunji finally saw off the last group of guests with a polite smile on his face.

Finally having time to talk alone, Cheng Yan came over with a smile while waving his fan: "Mr. Gu has become a famous person in Beijing now. I want to chat with you alone. I have been waiting from noon to dark. It's better than me." The emperor’s courtiers should also be welcomed.”

Gu Yunji smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Although they are all here to get close to each other and few are sincere, in order to save face, we still have to receive them seriously. It is not good to leave them aside."

Cheng Yan said: "Qiaoqiao has always been thinking about coming to see you, but it's a pity that you have so many guests during this period. Even if I come, I won't be able to talk to you. I'm afraid I will have to wait for another two days."

Mentioning the sister he had not seen for many years, Gu Yunji couldn't help but feel sad.

He returned to Beijing in a hurry and moved into the Royal Villa as soon as he entered the city. His wife and daughter are still in Zhejiang, and he didn't have time to go home to see his parents and brothers. A few days ago, Gu Yunxiao followed him on the grounds of visiting a doctor. Other guests came to visit together, and the brothers only met once.

Gu Yunji sighed: "It's really not possible right now. Let's wait a little longer. There's no rush now. When my 'illness' is completely cured in a few days, His Majesty will probably make some changes to my official position. Basically, from now on We will stay in the capital. When Shuhua and Xier return to the capital, they can have a good reunion with Qiaoqiao."

Cheng Yan glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think you are determined to become a princeling?"

Gu Yunji said in a leisurely tone: "Now that the matter has come to this, is there any other way to go? From the moment the prince insisted on taking me back to the capital, my interests and his have been tied together. The fight for the right to inherit the throne is certainly a mess. Water, but given the general trend, going with the trend is the best choice.”

Cheng Yan smiled and filled the tea cup in front of him: "You can think it over yourself. But according to my observation, if you have to choose between the prince and the second prince, the prince is more worthy of support."

Gu Yunji also had the same view and nodded: "Yes, although the prince is young, it can be seen that he has a calm mind, which is much better than the second prince. Moreover, he is sincere in treating others and good at taking opinions. If he continues to grow like this, he may not be so in the future. A wise king."

This is a feudal society with strict hierarchical order. Li Jinze is the prince and Gu Yunji is a minister. Not to mention protecting him from hidden weapons, it is also his duty to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.

However, as a superior, Li Jinze was able to withstand the pressure. He would rather risk being punished by Emperor Jingfeng than insist on taking Gu Yunji back to Beijing for medical treatment to confirm that he was in good health.It is impossible to say that Gu Yunji is completely unmoved by this.

The surroundings were quiet, and Gu Yunji was lost in thought for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.Cheng Yan drank tea quietly without anyone speaking.

Gu Yunji rubbed the tea cup in his hand, his eyes darkened, and suddenly said: "Cheng Yan, in order to cure me, the prince killed me first, regardless of the court regulations, and took me back to the capital even if he was punished by his majesty. However, my health is not affected at all. Even if Looking back now, there is no doubt that this was an impulsive move and not worth it."

"Tell me - is the prince sincere and unwilling for me to sacrifice for him? Or does he want to take this opportunity to win my favor and completely pull me into the East Palace camp?"
