Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Everyone thought that Emperor Jingfeng had exhausted his energy after being frightened and fainted due to exhaustion. Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell ill and became bedridden. He talked nonsense for several days, and he was about to die. Extremely ill.

In the emperor's palace, everyone gathered around Emperor Jingfeng's dragon bed, anxiously waiting for the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

The imperial doctor looked solemn. After checking Emperor Jingfeng's pulse, he sighed: "Your Majesty is recovering from a headache and is weak. You have to be careful when going out to see the wind. If this autumn hunting goes smoothly, who cares? I know there is such a thing as a tiger hurting someone."

"Your Majesty has been diligent in government affairs over the years, often working half-night and half-night. He has long lost his health and become sick from overwork. This time he was severely frightened, which just happened to bring back the old maladies and the toxins accumulated inside. , so he became very ill and fell down all of a sudden."

King Zhao Li Rui frowned and noticed something was wrong: "Toxin? The emperor's brother is in good health, how can there be toxins? But someone poisoned the emperor's brother?"

"That's not..." The imperial doctor seemed to have some scruples, he hesitated to speak, and never spoke frankly.

Li Rui was worried. He suppressed the impatience in his heart and said, "Imperial doctor, just tell me what you have to say. Brother Huang's body has become like this. What else do you need to hide?"

The imperial doctor subconsciously glanced at the sleeping Emperor Jingfeng and whispered: "...If my guess is correct, the toxins in your Majesty's body should be caused by taking pills all year round..."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Jingfeng had been taking elixirs for many years. The elixirs were refined by sorcerers and were said to prolong life and strengthen the body. However, the ingredients used were highly toxic substances such as cinnabar, mercury, and sulfur. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were harmful to the body. Harmful rather than helpful.

It's a pity that Emperor Jingfeng insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to anyone's dissuasion. At first, someone wrote a letter to advise him not to take pills. Even if he didn't listen, he would explain it in a good voice and said that he felt good.

In recent years, Emperor Jingfeng was suspicious and emotionally unstable. He would lose his temper easily, and gradually no one dared to dissuade him.However, everything has a cause and a result. Emperor Jingfeng planted the cause himself, but he still tasted the bitter fruit now.

Looking at Emperor Jingfeng's pale face, Li Rui felt sad and helpless, so he had to turn to the imperial physician: "Can the emperor's illness be cured?"

The imperial doctor looked embarrassed: "If Your Majesty has not taken the elixir, there will definitely be no problem, but it is hard to say now... I can only try my best to treat and regulate it, but I am afraid it cannot be eradicated. Even if Your Majesty's condition improves in the future, his health will probably not be as good as before. .”

Emperor Jingfeng's body was already very weak before. If it gets worse than before, wouldn't he have to linger on his sick bed often?Thinking of this, everyone felt a little heavy.

"Ahem...water..."

At this time, Emperor Jingfeng, who had been in a coma for several days, woke up and coughed a few times, his voice extremely hoarse.

"Brother Emperor, are you awake? Water! Get water quickly!"

Li Rui was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly called for someone to bring warm water, and gave it to Emperor Jingfeng to swallow.

After Emperor Jingfeng drank some water to moisten his throat, he finally had some strength to speak. He looked around at everyone in the room and said in a weak voice: "... Where is the prince?"

Gu Yunji responded: "Back to Your Majesty, since you have not ordered his release, His Royal Highness is currently being guarded in the East Palace and cannot be released without an edict."

When Emperor Jingfeng heard this, he suddenly became excited and struggled to get out of bed: "Ahem, cough, cough! Call the prince... I want to ask him what happened when the tiger hurt people, and whether he wanted to If you want to harm me...someone, call the prince here...cough cough cough..."

Emperor Jingfeng's cough became more and more severe. He would breathe hard and violently even if he could only speak a few words. He could not get out of bed and move around.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, fearing that Li Jinze's mood would fluctuate even more when he saw him, so they hurriedly advised him: "Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing! You are still ill. Please wait until you recover and call the prince for questioning."

"Nonsense! I am strong and very good!"

After a serious illness, Emperor Jingfeng woke up like a different person. He refused to admit that he was sick, and angrily threw the quilt and pillows on the bed: "I am not even 40 years old, and I am in the prime of life. How can I get sick!" You bunch of rebellious officials and traitors, how dare you deceive me and ignore your superiors!"

Although Emperor Jingfeng was awake, he was obviously not very conscious. Everyone did not dare to touch his troubles and knelt on the ground in fear: "Your Majesty——" After venting for a while, Emperor Jingfeng was exhausted and weakly Lean back on the bed.After a while, his mood gradually calmed down. His eyes passed over the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and he stared directly at Ning Fuhai: "...Ning Fuhai, bring me my elixir."

"His Majesty!"

Ning Fuhai's face was filled with tears, and he knelt down with a plop: "I dare to say frankly that the pill is not a good thing. You can't take the pill anymore!"

Emperor Jingfeng's face sank and he cursed: "Nonsense! Warlock Lan is a master who has traveled far and wide and has returned. The elixir he refined has the effect of prolonging life. I am weak now and need elixirs to replenish my energy. Why don't you give me some elixirs quickly?" Bring it!”

Now that things have happened, Ning Fuhai no longer has anything to hide, his eyes are red, and he holds back tears and says: "Your Majesty... the imperial doctor just said that your illness is caused by the elixir, and the warlock Lan Wenyong is simply a treacherous person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. Disciple, he has harmed you! You should take good care of your health now, and you must not take any more pills."

"Ning Fuhai, you are so presumptuous!"

Emperor Jingfeng was about to go crazy again, his eyes full of violence: "You little slave, how dare you resist the order! If you don't bring me the elixir, I will kill you!"

Ning Fuhai had been with Emperor Jingfeng for decades and had always been loyal. He had already put life and death aside. Hearing this, Bang Bang Bang kowtowed on the ground for a while and said decisively: "For the sake of your Majesty's dragon body, I forgive you for not being able to obey your orders. If your Majesty wants Kill it, just kill it!"

"you……"

Emperor Jingfeng's face turned red from holding back, but he couldn't really kill him, so he simply turned to Cheng Yan who was standing aside: "Cheng Yan, you are my close minister, I trust you, go and get me the elixir! "

Facing the glances that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Yan seemed as if he hadn't seen them and said calmly: "Yes, I obey the order."

Not long after, Cheng Yan brought the elixir and presented it to Emperor Jingfeng: "Your Majesty, the elixir is here."

Finally getting what he wanted, Emperor Jingfeng grabbed the pill and swallowed it quickly without even looking at it.

However, Ning Fuhai often served Emperor Jingfeng to take elixirs, and found that the color of the elixir was not right. It did not look like an elixir made by a sorcerer, but rather like a pill made by an imperial physician.

Ning Fuhai was wondering when he saw Cheng Yan wink at him quietly while avoiding Emperor Jingfeng. He understood instantly and quickly cast a grateful look.

After Emperor Jingfeng took the medicine, he finally stopped making trouble and lay quietly for a while.

After a while, he suddenly sat up, his eyes regained clarity, and said: "I am currently ill and need to rest and recuperate. All government affairs in the court will be left to the cabinet for the time being."

"As for the prince..." He paused, his voice filled with anger, "Based on the current evidence, the tiger's wounding of people is closely related to the prince. The prince and all the officials in the East Palace are ordered to be dismissed from their posts and all imprisoned. Pending."

Everyone was horrified when they heard this, and the princelings even knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty! I am not guilty!"

Emperor Jingfeng was unmoved. He looked around the room and his eyes fell on Gu Yunji. Thinking of the time when he hit the tiger in the eye and saved him, he changed his words and said: "Gu Bu's minister, Gu Yunji, has made a contribution to the rescue and will not be dismissed from his post." No one else will be pardoned within the confines of the prison, so take them down."

"His Majesty!"

"I am not guilty! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Faced with everyone's begging for mercy and persuasion, Emperor Jingfeng didn't even look at it. He turned around and lay down on the bed: "I'm tired. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it later. Please step aside first."
