spend time

Jiang Shaohua was thinking and deliberating in his mind.

Wang Jin cried for a while with red eyes, and finally calmed down. He turned to ask the imperial physician beside him: "Doctor Fei, can my father still be saved?"

Among the more than 20 doctors in the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Ji was the most skilled and trusted. No one expected that Doctor Ji was secretly bribed by Jiang Yi and did something that would lead to the extermination of his entire clan.

The rest of the imperial doctors were all trembling with fear, fearing that the imperial doctor Ji would make random accusations in prison and that they would be implicated. Fortunately, the palace coup came and ended quickly, and the imperial doctors were lucky enough to be safe and put to good use.

Doctor Fei was also an old doctor with excellent medical skills and was good at treating external injuries. He was sent to treat Prime Minister Wang. Prime Minister Wang had a high fever and was in a coma. Doctor Fei didn't even dare to close his eyes.

"Replying to Mr. Wang," Doctor Fei carefully considered his words, "The Prime Minister was shot through the left shoulder and lost a lot of blood. He was not treated in time. He also had a high fever and was unconscious. I used the best medicine for the wound, combined with acupuncture, and wiped the Prime Minister's body with warm water every hour. Logically speaking, the Prime Minister should not be in danger of death."

The implication is very clear. Prime Minister Wang's life will most likely be saved, but as to whether he will be disabled, it is hard to say.

Even this is better than Wang Jin expected.

Wang Jin wiped his eyes and bowed to thank Doctor Fei. Doctor Fei bowed again and again in return.

After hearing this, Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and said to Doctor Fei, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Fei."

Doctor Fei wanted to bend down to the ground: "Please don't say that, my lady. I am deeply terrified."

On the day Jiang Shaohua put down the rebellion, he stabbed the rebel Gao Shan with a long spear, killed Jiang Yi, and then killed Wei Xiong. It can be said that he killed people like crazy and made great contributions.

Anyone with eyes and some brains could see that the princess would be the future ruler. Doctor Fei didn't dare to stand up straight in front of the princess.

Jiang Shaohua said to Wang Jin: "Prime Minister Wang hasn't woken up yet. You stay here with Prime Minister Wang first. We can discuss anything after Prime Minister Wang wakes up."

Wang Jin nodded in agreement and watched Jiang Shaohua leave.

The moment the door closed, Wang Jin's eyes suddenly felt hot and tears welled up in his eyes again.

He cried bitterly, as if he wanted to cry out for all the panic and confusion he had experienced in the past two days, and also as if he was mourning the death of his friends.

Emperor Taihe died of conspiracy, Li Boyuan died at the hands of Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi died under Jiang Shaohua's spear. Zheng Chen is still alive, and if he shows up and is caught, he will surely die.

He was the only one left among his childhood study companions.

The hem of his shirt was gently tugged.

Wang Jin cried so hard that she hiccuped. When she looked down, her tears stopped immediately and she was overjoyed: "Father!"

Prime Minister Wang actually woke up!
Prime Minister Wang opened his cloudy old eyes, looking tired and weak, but staring at his son's face closely. His lips moved, but his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Wang Jin guessed what Prime Minister Wang was going to ask just by the shape of his mouth, and immediately whispered: "The turmoil in the palace has been quelled, Jiang Yi was killed by the princess, but it's a pity that Zheng Chen escaped."

Prime Minister Wang's brows relaxed as he listened to Wang Jin continue to speak: "The troops from the Yingwei Camp have arrived, and the Imperial Guards have also entered the capital. Father, don't worry. The situation is indeed stable now."

Prime Minister Wang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again, as if he was thinking of something.

Wang Jin didn't rush to speak, but looked up. Doctor Fei beside him was very tactful and immediately withdrew, and the other two eunuchs also withdrew.

Only Wang Jin and his son were left in the palace.

Prime Minister Wang struggled to squeeze out a few words: "Who will be the prime minister from now on?"

Wang Jin leaned his ear over and barely heard it clearly, feeling a little bitter. Prime Minister Wang could have held on for another ten or eight years, and he had planned to wait for him to gain experience and then take over the position of Prime Minister. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. A sudden palace coup left Prime Minister Wang seriously injured. Even if he managed to save his life, he could no longer take care of government affairs and serve as Prime Minister of Daliang.

This also means that the Prime Minister's party must put forward another leader in order to secure a seat in the court in the future.

It is unlikely that he will be able to monopolize power again. With Jiang Shaohua's strong means, he will definitely suppress the officials of the Prime Minister's faction.

The best outcome would be to be on par with the Queen Mother's Party or the Princess' Party.

"Father has just woken up from a serious injury. He should rest well and not worry about these things." Wang Jin cheered up and comforted him: "The princess came to visit father before. In my opinion, her attitude was quite gentle and polite. The Zheng family was the one who suffered the most from this palace change. There is nothing to worry about for us."

Prime Minister Wang frowned and stared at Wang Jin.

Wang Jin subconsciously looked away.

Prime Minister Wang was furious. He stretched out his hand angrily and grabbed Wang Jin's hand with all his strength: "You...you want to surrender to Jiang Shaohua? Unless I die."

Seeing that Prime Minister Wang was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, Wang Jin didn't dare to tell the truth, and hurriedly said perfunctorily: "How could this be. A real man cannot be inferior to a woman. Don't worry, father, I will never give in."

At most, it is loyalty. It is the duty of a minister to be loyal, and it cannot be regarded as yielding.

Prime Minister Wang suddenly woke up, feeling extremely weak and emotionally unstable, and soon fainted again.

Wang Jin was horrified and hurried to call Doctor Fei in. Doctor Fei was busy giving acupuncture and injecting medicine.

……

The army entered the capital, the situation was settled, Jiang Shaohua's tense nerves finally relaxed, and fatigue swept over him.

Empress Dowager Zheng finally had some conscience and told Jiang Shaohua to have a good rest.

Concubine Fan Gui also said softly: "My princess has worked hard and made great contributions. She hasn't slept for two days. Go and have a rest."

The tone of the soon-to-be-appointed empress dowager came back again.

Empress Dowager Zheng frowned and glanced over.

Concubine Fan Gui felt her heart tighten and she immediately shut her mouth.

Jiang Shaohua didn't try to be brave and agreed. Cui Du immediately stood up and helped Jiang Shaohua walk towards the palace.

Song Yuan and other personal guards followed closely.

Concubine Fan Gui secretly glanced at the tall and resolute figure, and quickly lowered her eyes.

There were dozens of rooms in the Showa Palace, most of which were originally empty. In the past two days, they were occupied by injured officials, leaving only two empty rooms. Cui Du pushed open the innermost room.

Song Yuan and the others went to the palace next door to rest for a while. They had not slept for two days and one night, and some of them were injured. Now that they were relaxed, they were particularly tired.

Cui Du carefully helped Jiang Shaohua lie down on the bed: "Shaohua, I'll ask an imperial physician to check your pulse."

Jiang Shaohua had stomach discomfort several times today, and felt like vomiting. He couldn't eat anything and was extremely tired. He lay on the bed, his whole body limp, and his voice was full of fatigue: "No need to call the doctor." (End of this chapter)
