Prosperous advisors

Chapter 221
The chief eunuch nodded, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the imperial physician was passed on in Prince Ping's residence, and I heard that His Royal Highness...has the same disease as the former queen. I'm afraid it's..."

Hua Huang was stunned again, his impression of Empress Gu, who died young, Hua Huang was not deep enough.I just remember that she was a beautiful and demure woman, born in a famous family, her noble demeanor and motherly demeanor were doomed.At that time, he was still young, and he was very proud of having an excellent son, so he treated Queen Gu pretty well.It's just that the queen gave birth to Murong Xi and her health became unwell within a few years. Murong Xi passed away when she was a teenager, but from the beginning to the end, the imperial physician didn't know what disease she had, but kept getting weaker.If the imperial physician really confirmed that Murong Xi had the same illness as the queen, then... I am afraid that this son will not have a few years to live.For a moment, Hua Huang didn't know whether he was relieved or sad.

"The imperial physician who sent King Ping's diagnosis is here, I have something to ask." Emperor Hua ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

After a while, the imperial physician who diagnosed Murong Xi was brought into the Hall of Qinzheng.

"My minister bows to His Majesty." The imperial physician knelt down and saluted tremblingly. He was just a little-known imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, and he had no idea why he was summoned by His Majesty.Hua Huang was condescending, glanced at the thin old man kneeling on the ground, frowned and asked, "You are the one who diagnosed King Ping?"

The imperial physician was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Go back to Your Majesty, that's right."

Although Emperor Hua has been emperor for many years, one must know that he also started as a prince, so he naturally knows some hidden rules in the palace.At first glance, this old man is not an important role in the Taiyuan Hospital. Over the years, Prince Ping's Mansion has not been taken seriously, and Murong Xi has even been deprived of the qualification to go to court.Of course, the people in the Tai Hospital just waited for the food to be served, and just sent an unremarkable person to Pingwang's Mansion to deal with it.Although he was unhappy about this, but also knew that it was because of his own negligence that led to this situation, Hua Huang's face became even more ugly, "How is King Ping's body?"

The imperial doctor said tremblingly: "Qi... Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ping is weak... I am afraid... I am afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Father said coldly.

The imperial physician shuddered, and said, "I'm afraid...you won't live for five years. My minister... I'm not good at medicine, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot his piercing gaze at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, "Oh? You can conclude that King Ping won't live for five years because of his lack of medical skills?" The imperial physician turned pale, and quickly said, "That's because... I compared the case of His Royal Highness King Ping with that of the former empress. The condition of the first empress... the five years before the death of the first empress, I am afraid that it is not as serious as that of His Royal Highness King Ping now..."

Hua Huang said coldly: "Tell me directly, how long does King Ping have?"

"No... within three years." The imperial doctor trembled.

"Three years?" Hua Huang was thoughtful, and after a while he said calmly: "You step back."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning." The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew.The Hall of Qinzheng was silent for a long time, and Hua Huang's voice came back again, "Let Imperial Physician Zhao go to see King Ping." The eunuch in charge behind him was startled, and quickly responded: "Yes, I obey the order." Imperial Physician Zhao is Huahuang's confidant is also the most skilled imperial physician in the imperial hospital.Except for the Emperor Hua and the Empress Dowager, even the Emperor Hua can't use him.I just don't know whether His Majesty is concerned about His Highness Ping Wang's condition or...doubts whether His Highness Ping Wang's condition is true or not.

After sending away the Imperial Physician Zhao who had just come to see a doctor on order, a faint wry smile appeared on Murong Xi's handsome face.It was just a flash, and the wry smile turned into a cold self-mockery in the blink of an eye.

"Do you think Zhao Cheng can see your condition?" Gu Xiuting, dressed in white, came out from behind the screen, looking at Murong Xi worriedly.Murong Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhao Cheng is known as Xinglin's national player. If he can't even see it, I'm afraid no one in this world can see it." Gu Xiuting nodded, went to sit down opposite Murong Xi, and asked : "Your Majesty sent someone to see you at this time..."

Sitting behind the desk, Murong Xi put his hands on the table and said with a faint smile: "Now... the emperor is probably thinking about what to do after abandoning the sixth younger brother? If the Gu family's case is really vindicated, I, an innocent person, will be punished. A deposed prince will always be resettled."

Gu Xiuting nodded and said, "It seems that His Majesty is indeed planning to give up on Murong Yu."

Murong Xi smiled and said: "In the eyes of my father, I'm afraid there is no one who can't give up, it just depends on whether it's worth it or not." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the ability to see through the emperor's mind as he is now, I am afraid that the accident a few years ago would not have happened.It's a pity that this kind of ability... is never something that one is born with.

"Cousin." Seeing Murong Xi's dismal smile, Gu Xiuting frowned and said worriedly, "I'll try to get someone to ask Zhao Cheng whether there is a way to cure this poison." As for the poisoning, even if Zhao Cheng could cure the poison, Hua Huang would never save Murong Xi.Already 50 years old, but it seems that Huahuang still has a lot of time to live well, and he will not need a re-emerging His Royal Highness.

"No need." Murong Xi shook his head and said.

"Cousin!" Gu Xiuting frowned in displeasure, she could understand Murong Xi's attitude of completely giving up on herself but couldn't agree with it.Brother and sister Mu Qingyi and Gu Xiuting seem to be gentle and elegant, but in fact they have inherited the tenacity and ruthlessness of the Gu family.So even though they have all experienced unimaginable pain, they are still able to stand up again, calmly calculate and plan, and finally trample their enemies under their feet.They are phoenixes, and they will only become more dazzling after the ashes and nirvana.

Murong Xi, on the other hand, seems to have inherited the gentleness and sensibility of a talented scholar from a scholarly family. He is a natural son of a dragon, noble and noble, but he is far less able to withstand blows than Gu Xiuting and Mu Qingyi.Of course, this may also have something to do with the different people who betrayed them.Whether it's Murong Yu or anyone else, they are irrelevant outsiders to Mu Qingyi and Gu Xiuting, and they are their enemies.However, Murong Xi was abandoned by his biological father.Gu Xiuting understands this kind of pain, because if the person who abandoned them was his own father, he would also suffer more than accepting all the pain of flesh and blood.

Murong Xi smiled lightly and said: "Okay, Xiu Ting. I know, you are already tired of the things in the court. After this matter is over, take Qing Yi and leave the capital. Where are you going? It's better than staying in a place like this, isn't it?"

"But you..." Gu Xiuting frowned.

Murong Xi said calmly: "This...is the place where I was born, and it will also be the place where I die. This is my home. Xiu Ting, don't force yourself any more for my useless cousin." Murong Xi is very clear that if he is still alive, no matter how annoying he is, Gu Xiuting will still choose to stay and assist him.But it didn't make much sense, he no longer had any interest in that high position, and more importantly, he knew very well that the poison in him was difficult to completely remove.Once he died before ascending the throne, it would be a disaster for both Gu Xiuting and Mu Qingyi.
