Work overtime

When King Wei raised his head again, he had a careless expression on his face, "I heard that the emperor wants to investigate me? Do you need me to tell the truth?"

Li Beichen looked into King Wei's eyes, pretending to be slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you being checked? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Just pretend. Just pretend.Isn’t it true that everything the Inspectorate does is authorized by you?

King Wei sneered at himself, "Brother Huang is busy with everything, so naturally he didn't pay attention. Of course it was the Inspectorate who checked me, who else? Of course the Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple also checked me, but it was just about Tianxiang Tower."

Li Beichen said "Oh" and waited for King Wei to continue.

King Wei also waited for the emperor to speak and reprimand him.

In the end, the two of them just sat there for a while, waiting for the other to make the first move.

Li Beichen took two sips of tea, with a thin layer of coldness in his eyes, and said in a neutral tone; "The Inspectorate is conducting an investigation and is just doing things according to the rules. I can't interfere. If you have any grievances, you might as well talk to me. "

King Wei laughed and said seriously, "My brother is not unjust. My brother did accept a large amount of bribes."

He stared at Li Beichen's face, trying to see a little anger and surprise, but it was still calm without any change.

Then he said casually, "It's not that I don't want to hand over the money that I was greedy for. It's just that I spent all the money as soon as I got it. Eat, drink and have fun. I spent a lot of money on the women in Tianxiang Tower. The emperor has a harem of three thousand people. You don’t understand the fun of it. My brother will take you to play some other time, it will definitely be more interesting than those in the harem. My brother likes clean and beautiful things, the younger the better, so naturally you have to spend more money."

Li Beichen frowned slightly.It’s Tianxiang Tower again.

There was not much reaction to King Wei's explicit words.Because of King Wei's hobby, he knew something about it.

Li Beichen nodded slightly and said with a pun, "Young and frivolous, otherwise, you wouldn't be you. The past is in the past. What about now?"

What I care more about is what you are going to do now.

King Wei narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said with some sadness, "Now that I'm married, I won't be so ridiculous and make the princess sad."

Li Beichen asked casually, "I will give you as many concubines as you like."

King Wei laughed and said, "Brother Huang is very noble, so he probably doesn't know the fun of going to a brothel. It's different from marrying someone home. You have to change one every day, and all of them are fresh and fresh." It's interesting when it's tender. No matter how delicious it is, if you eat it in different ways, you'll get tired of it the second time. It's a pity that Tianxianglou is closed now. The girls in other places are not interesting."

Li Beichen smiled calmly, "What Brother Chen said is quite interesting."

Recently, I changed them one day at a time, and they were all fresh and tender, but it felt like rushing a duck to the shelf, and it was bland and tasteless.

On the other hand, Jiao Jiao ate her over and over again, never getting tired of it.

King Wei smiled evilly, "Of course. This is the joy of life."

It was clearly talking about Fengyue, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder.

Then he suddenly stopped smiling and said, "In addition to coming to tell the truth about my brother's corruption problem to the emperor, I also have something important to ask for."

Li Beichen put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at King Wei, "What's the matter?"

Is what is supposed to come finally coming?As long as you don't invite me to your Wei Mansion, everything will be fine.

The King of Wei openly bowed his hands and said, "My brother's princess misses her two sisters very much. She has something to discuss with them and would like to come to the palace tomorrow morning. Please allow your permission."

Li Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight smile, "It's accurate. I believe my two beloved concubines will also be very happy."

King Wei lazily asked again: "My brother has already confessed everything. Isn't it true that the emperor punished me for taking bribes?"

Li Beichen smiled and reminded again with a double entendre: "Let bygones be bygones in the past, it will not be the same in the future. I will allocate more money to you from my private treasury." "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never be the same in the future." King Wei raised his chin and said happily The land agrees.

Li Beichen asked: "Third brother, do you have anything else to report?"

The King of Wei thought for a while: "Yes. I heard that a famous singing troupe in the south of the Yangtze River came to the capital for a tour recently. The Queen Mother has always loved listening to "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". I want to do my best to express my filial piety to the Queen Mother. .I wonder if it’s okay?”

"Okay, third brother is interested. The Queen Mother will be very happy to know." Li Beichen's smile deepened.

King Wei nodded happily and said goodbye with a smile.

He had already predicted that the emperor would agree on the surface, and then investigate and guard against this singing troupe. Then he would definitely let the emperor find no loopholes in it, but at the same time it could be used by himself.

The emperor predicted that if he agreed, King Wei would definitely take action, so he was not prepared to investigate the opera troupe, but only waited to see the other party's performance.When the day comes, just serve it in one pot.

Both sides thought they had predicted the other's prediction.

After King Wei left, Li Beichen closed his eyes and rested for a moment before announcing Jiang Xian's entrance.

Li Beichen asked about the condition of the queen and the concubine in turn.Jiang Xian reported the truth one by one.

Through the purple snow pill provided by Jiang Yuebai, combined with other medicines and acupuncture, the toxins in the queen's body were eliminated quickly, and most of them have been eliminated so far.The queen passed through the critical period in a real sense and recovered quickly under the care of her mother, Mrs. Xie.

But if you want to remove toxins from the body more thoroughly, you still need a long period of conditioning.This time may be long or short, it may be as short as one or two years, as long as decades, or it may even be impossible to remove for life.

Li Beichen looked solemn after hearing this. After a while, he asked, "When will the queen wake up? What will be the impact of this poison?"

Jiang Xian answered carefully and thoughtfully, "The queen may wake up in the next few days, but it may...it may be difficult to return to her past appearance."

"What does this mean? Master Jiang speaks out boldly."

Jiang Xian sighed, "The queen was poisoned on the face. She might be stupid, crazy, or deaf-mute..."

Li Beichen asked again: "Is it impossible to return to normal?"

Jiang Xian thought that the emperor and empress were deeply in love, so he hurriedly tried to make up for it, "It's still possible."

"How long can the queen survive after being carefully nursed back to health after she wakes up?"

"It's hard to say, I don't know."

Li Beichen moved his eyes away, looked out the window from a distance, and asked, "Will it affect the heirs?"

Jiang Xian heard about the violent movement between the emperor and the empress in the middle of the night last time, and thought that the emperor and empress were really in love. The empress was almost a fool, and the emperor still insisted on having a child with the empress.Madam Xie asked him the same question just now.

However, as a doctor, he had to tell the truth: "The queen is deeply poisoned and her body is very weak. If she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, she may be in danger of her life. Moreover, the poison penetrates deep into the internal organs and may affect the emperor's heir, and he may be born with a fetus." The toxins in it.”

In fact, what Jiang Xian wanted to say was that in this case, it would be very easy to get pregnant with a stillborn fetus and not be able to give birth to a baby.At that time, it is very likely that one child will have two lives.

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Xian with an unclear expression as he spoke: "So Master Jiang means that it is not suitable to be pregnant?"

"Your Majesty" Jiang Xian hesitated a little, thinking about his next words.

If you speak out, you will be held accountable. This is a big deal in the royal family, but it is also a matter of life and death for doctors. He gritted his teeth and said frankly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I think that for the sake of the queen's health, she should not be pregnant."

Li Beichen was noncommittal and asked, "Does Mrs. Xie know about this?"
