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

In the Feiyu Guard Prison, Prince Li Jinze huddled in a dark and damp corner, feeling depressed.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, a jailer opened the door, and Gu Yunji walked in quickly: "Your Highness!"

"Master Gu!" Li Jinze was overjoyed when he saw Gu Yunji. He quickly stood up and leaned over the iron fence, "Why are you here? What's going on outside? Did your father say what you want to do with me?"

Ever since the tiger injured someone in the hunting ground, Li Jinze had been locked up. More than half a month had passed. During this period, he could not see anyone or hear any news, and he seemed to be isolated from the world.He thinks wildly every day, and his mind is full of the tragic ending after being deposed, and he is almost going crazy from being tortured by himself.

Gu Yunji looked at Li Jinze from head to toe and saw that although he was dirty, his clothes were intact and he did not look like he had been tortured. He was silently relieved.

Hearing Li Jinze's words, Gu Yunji felt heavy and said, "The current situation is not optimistic. Except for the ministers in the East Palace, all the officials have been imprisoned. It is said that some of them were severely tortured during the interrogation, and they were tortured to the point of being inhumane."

"His Majesty is seriously ill and has ignored the affairs of the court. The court is in chaos. Although most of them still take a wait-and-see attitude to protect themselves, there are also some fishermen in troubled waters, clamoring to depose His Highness and make King Wu the crown prince."

"Fang Shu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, resigned due to illness and directly quit his job; because of his relationship with the minister, his cousin Gu Yuanhui was suspected of being a party member of King Wu and suspected of favoritism. Under pressure from many parties, he had to ask for suspension. Staying at home to avoid suspicion... Nowadays, only the imperialists are still running around, trying their best to stabilize the situation."

During this period of time, the government was in chaos. Although Gu Yunji was not implicated and imprisoned, he was still very busy.

As the only remaining person in charge of the princeling party, he has to take care of the affairs of the East Palace and appease the other officials of the princeling party; at the same time, he has to be on guard against the overt and covert attacks of the Wu royal party to prevent them from taking the opportunity to stir up trouble and expand their power; at the same time, he has to pay attention to tiger injuries. In the trial of the human case, try to find a way to fish out the people in the East Palace.

Emperor Jingfeng's attitude was unclear. Although the Feiyu Guards did not do anything to Li Jinze, they still treated him very strictly and did not allow outsiders to visit him.Gu Yunji used all his connections, and his words were almost worn out, so he asked for a chance to visit.

Hearing this, Li Jinze's face was slumped, and he quickly thought of something, and asked eagerly: "So... where is my father? Is my father's body okay? Last time I was at the hunting ground, I saw him fainted. I thought he was frightened. Caused by excessive exhaustion. Have you gotten better these days?"

Gu Yunji couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this. The son was in prison and worried about his father's condition, but the father not only did not care about his son, but was deeply suspicious of him and worried that he would murder him.

Gu Yunji sighed: "Since returning from the hunting ground, Your Majesty has been unable to get sick. He has been sleeping for half of the day, and sometimes he is in a state of confusion when he is awake. It may be difficult for him to take charge of the overall situation in a short period of time. "

Li Jinze's mind was pounding. It was really hard to imagine why Emperor Jingfeng, who had always been majestic and strong, could suddenly become so seriously ill.But then he thought of the consequences that were much more terrible than Emperor Jingfeng being seriously ill - what would he do if something happened to Emperor Jingfeng?
Will he be directly deposed as the crown prince and demoted to a commoner, or will he be killed by King Wu's party in order to clear the biggest obstacle to Li Jinche's fight for the throne?

Thinking of this, Li Jinze felt a huge sense of fear in his heart and couldn't help but shudder.

He grabbed Gu Yunji's hand and said with a pale face: "... Mr. Gu, if the situation is really going to be over and it cannot be saved, then don't save it... You have done a great job in rescuing me. King Wu and his party dare not do anything to you openly. You It’s better to retreat as soon as possible to protect yourself and your family..."

"Your Highness."

Gu Yunji felt that Li Jinze was trembling. He held the other person's hand and said in a calm but firm tone: "It's not that time yet, and the matter is not as serious as you think. It's useless to say more. In short, please believe me, sir. I will definitely do my best." "Master Gu!"

At this time, an attendant hurriedly ran in from outside and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, someone sent a message, saying that His Majesty's illness suddenly worsened, and just now he vomited a mouthful of blood. Now he is unconscious. Please call all of you urgently." Discussing matters in His Majesty’s chamber.”

"What?! Your Majesty vomited blood?"

Gu Yunji's expression changed, and he stood up in a hurry. He didn't bother to ask anything else, and after saying a simple goodbye to Li Jinze, he followed the attendants and left the imperial prison.

……

In the emperor's palace, Emperor Jingfeng was lying on the bed with a gray complexion. The imperial doctor who was diagnosing his pulse looked solemn and his brows were furrowed.

After a long time, the imperial doctor finished diagnosing the pulse and sighed deeply.

King Zhao Li Rui was so heartbroken by the imperial doctor's sigh that he hurriedly asked: "Emperor doctor, what's going on? Why does the emperor suddenly vomit blood?"

The imperial doctor stroked his gray beard and considered: "It's strange to say that His Majesty's pulse condition was stable a few days ago, but it has become disordered again for some reason in the past two days. Perhaps... it's because the medicine used during this period is different from what His Majesty used before. The pills he took conflicted with each other, causing the toxins accumulated inside to violently attack, and he vomited blood."

"Do the medicines conflict with each other?" King Wu Li Jinche frowned and scolded, "How do you do things in your hospital? Don't you know whether the medicines conflict with each other? In my opinion, my father's vomiting of blood is all caused by you group of quack doctors. Yes, you should all be thrown into prison and beheaded!"

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground tremblingly: "...His Royal Highness the King of Wu calmed down. It's not that the medical skills of the ministers are not good, but that there are some medicines that are one of the necessary medicinal materials to seal His Majesty's heart veins and prevent the spread of toxins in the elixir. If not this If you take ordinary medicine, Your Majesty may be in bad condition long ago..."

"It's just a medicine with three parts poison. Wei Chen was worried that the properties of the medicine would conflict with each other. He carefully tested the medicine when he first used it. After confirming that there was no problem, he safely added it to the prescription. But for some reason, it suddenly..."

"Okay, it's useless to talk about it now." Li Rui felt irritable and interrupted him, "You only need to tell me how the emperor's illness is and can it be cured?"

The imperial doctor was sweating like rain, and said tremblingly: "...His Royal Highness, King Zhao, please forgive me for my incompetence. Your Majesty is now extremely ill, and the poison has invaded the heart and veins. No matter how many rare medicinal materials are used, it is just hanging on for the last breath." …”

After saying that, the imperial doctor closed his eyes and said feebly: "Please also ask His Highness King Zhao, His Highness King Wu, and all the cabinet ministers to make preparations in advance."

Li Jinche's expression changed, and he felt inexplicably panicked. He grabbed the imperial doctor's collar and said, "What did you say? What do you mean by being prepared early? What happened to my father!"

Thinking of the diagnosis just now, the imperial doctor was sad and scared at the same time, with a cry in his voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I'm afraid his time is running out..." (End of Chapter)
