Conspiracy

chapter 43

In fact, Shang Yuchen was not completely unconscious, he heard the queen's call in a daze, and slowly opened his eyes.Seeing her crying pear blossoms with rain, a faint smile was forced on the corner of her lips, and she raised her hand to hold the Queen's hand.

"Mother."

"Chen'er! Imperial Physician Pei, come over and have a look, the prince is awake!"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Pei immediately approached Shang Yuchen's bed, "Madam, step aside and let me treat His Highness."

"Good good."

The queen was twisting her handkerchief with both hands, biting her lower lip with a tense expression.

Shang Yuchen smiled reassuringly, "Mother, you don't have to worry, your son will be fine."

After meticulous pulse diagnosis, Imperial Physician Pei walked to the desk with a pen, dipped the pen in the ink and wrote out the prescription for the little eunuch to decoct the medicine immediately.

Then he turned around and bowed to the queen, "Your Majesty, I have prescribed some more medicines. After resting for a month, His Royal Highness will surely recover."

"That's good, there is Lao Pei, the doctor."

Shang Yuchen nodded slightly, "Thank you."

"Your Majesty and Your Highness are being polite, and I will take my leave first."

"Well, you all go down first."

The queen waved her hand, and the imperial physician and palace officials bowed and retreated.

There were only the two of them left in the inner hall, the queen patted her chest with lingering fear, and held Shang Yuchen's hand, "Chen'er, fortunately you are fine, why did you leave the palace when you are so fine?"

"It's just for fun, I never thought I would meet an assassin."

After Shang Yuchen finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked outside the door. The queen understood, picked up a pen and paper from the table and handed it to him.

"The child minister was indeed robbed by thieves, and he did not leave the palace privately. '

Seeing what Shang Yuchen wrote on the paper, the queen's face changed drastically, and she barely maintained her previous tone, "Because you left the palace privately, your father was furious, and ordered the staff of the East Palace to be punished, so don't mess around again in the future." .As the eldest son, you should lead by example, how can you live up to your father's teachings to you."

Shang Yuchen's eyes were not disturbed at all, and he was obviously used to it.

Since he was a child, his father and emperor have always offended him, sternly criticizing him for the slightest mistake, without showing mercy.Whenever at this moment, he would tell himself that it was all because of the high expectations placed on him, hoping that his son would become a dragon.
"I know my mistakes, and I will remember my mother's teachings."

The queen asked in a low voice, "Chen'er, did you find the clue?"

"Never."

"Then do you know who the expert who saved you is?"

"At that time, Erchen escaped from the palace on Luming Mountain and fled to the vicinity of Fanghua Waterside Pavilion. He happened to be rescued by a passing knight."

The queen vaguely guessed that Shang Yuchen had concealed a lot of things, but he didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force it, not to mention that maybe the walls have ears, and if you say too much, you will lose it.

"Mother, I heard that the border war is coming to an end, will Marshal Xiao return to the capital soon?"

"Yes."

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen is in charge of the six palaces and has many eyes and ears in the harem.His father was a grand master, and there were many connections and disciples in the court.

"Then Xiao Chuhong will come back with him?"

"It's natural. Back then, Marshal Xiao and the emperor made an agreement in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. When they returned from a great victory, they surrendered their military power and retired to seclusion. Why did you care so much about this matter?"

Shang Yuchen recalled Su Zhen's serious expression, always felt that the child seemed to know something.

"Chu Hong and Erchen were childhood playmates, we haven't seen each other for seven years, so I just asked casually."

"Chen'er, you can rest easy and recover from your illness. Let go of the court affairs for now, don't ask any more questions. It's an eventful autumn, and it's better to have fewer troubles." The queen's tone was cryptic.

"Empress mother, does the emperor have other intentions to convey to the son?"
