Chapter 199: Chapter 199
"Humph!" Emperor Pei groaned angrily and turned away from him.
Pei Sheng was a little embarrassed. Judging from his father's behavior, he probably blamed him wrongly.
"Father, my son is being petty. You have a lot of wealth, so don't be as knowledgeable as your son." Pei Sheng bowed and apologized again, his attitude sincere.
Emperor Pei's expression softened a little, and he waved his sleeves slightly, pretending not to care, and said awkwardly, "Tell me what's going on."
Seeing this, Pei Sheng lost his worries and started to talk.
Not long after Pei Sheng started practicing martial arts, his master discovered something was wrong.
The chronic poison has been deposited in his body for a long time. Master can only help him control the poison, but he cannot remove it.
Pei Sheng did not tell Concubine Jing when this happened. The reason was that the relationship between Concubine Jing and Emperor Pei was very cold at that time, and he did not want Concubine Jing to worry about him.
The master was introduced through Liang's father, also known as Marquis Weiwu, so the Liang family naturally couldn't hide it. Fortunately, Marquis Weiwu also agreed with Pei Sheng's approach.
Telling my daughter is not only useless, but also makes her fearful, which is unnecessary.
After hearing the whole story, Emperor Pei felt better about the tough-talking and unforgiving little girl, but he was still unwilling to accept it. How could he take advantage of her so easily?
"Well, I'm afraid Prince Shen won't have any heirs." Imperial Physician Jiang looked at Prince Shen and said regretfully, "Your Majesty, has the toxin been suppressed in the lower abdomen for a long time?"
Thinking that it was the reason, an unnatural red appeared on his face, "As for the reason, I was intercepted and killed by someone. I accidentally fell into the deep pool with the Ecstasy Powder from the Ata Kingdom in the Western Region. This medicine was too overbearing, and The poisons in my body were mixed together... Fortunately, Qiniang rescued Erchen, so he did not lose his life... By some strange combination of circumstances, Erchen failed her, and when we met again, she had already given birth to Lin'er."
Pei Sheng told their story eloquently, with a deeply moved face.
"Father, I have known since I was a child that I don't like you, so I don't dare to trouble my father to worry about my son." Pei Sheng said softly.
Suddenly thinking of his grandson, he hurriedly asked, "What about his heirs?"
Through his connections, Marquis Wei Wu also allowed Pei Sheng to see the best doctor from the imperial hospital, and he has never given up on finding a good doctor for Pei Sheng over the years.
Because Du Guifei has never had any children, he has been pampering her for so many years and promoted her to suppress concubines who have children and family backgrounds. He doesn't want to...
Emperor Pei had never thought that such a vicious person would appear in his harem, but with the evidence in hand, he had to reconsider his next actions.
Dr. Jiang took his pulse and seemed to be in trance. It took a long time before he withdrew his hand. Emperor Pei had been worried for a long time. When he saw that he had finished the diagnosis, he quickly asked, "How is it?"
The ambitions of the Du family are clearly revealed.
Emperor Pei took the evidence sent by the eunuch, looked through it, and said, "Pa!"
He had a good time with Concubine Jing back then, but unfortunately it didn't last long, and his usual strategy was to suppress concubines from military generals' families and promote concubines from civil servants' families.
Thinking of the two children, Pei Sheng smiled and said, "They are the unexpected treasures given to me by God."
Emperor Pei looked slightly solemn, stroking his beard and asked, "You were poisoned very early. How did Brother Yao and Sister Yue come here?"
Pei Sheng fell silent.
Just as he was talking, Doctor Jiang hurried over.
"Your body...come here, Imperial Physician Xuan Jiang." Imperial Physician Jiang is the head of the Imperial Hospital and the one with the best medical skills.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Prince Shen..." Imperial Physician Jiang considered the words.
Emperor Pei's heart froze after hearing this. He thought back to the past and scorned slightly.
"Er Chen's body is of no use. Brother Yao'er and Sister Yue are the only children of Er Chen. Er Chen begs the father to make Brother Yao his crown prince." Pei Sheng begged again.
The past is like smoke, and it is useless to talk about it. Emperor Pei continued to ask, "Who did it?"
He slapped his palm on the desk and said angrily, "This is unreasonable! Du family, Concubine Du."
As a beloved concubine, Du Guifei naturally had her own tricks. She was naturally charming, and could seduce people with every smile. She was so charming that Emperor Pei fell into her hands without injustice.
"You mean, there's something fishy about Zhao'er's condition?" Emperor Pei's hands were shaking slightly, and there was more obvious fear and anger in his eyes.
Doctor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Reporting to the Emperor, King Shen's body has been plagued by toxins for a long time and has damaged the internal organs. Although the poison has been removed, it still needs to be nursed back to health for a long time, otherwise his lifespan will be hindered."
Emperor Pei's head was buzzing. At first, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, but now he had to recognize the reality. He did not doubt the diagnosis of Imperial Physician Jiang at all. As the head of Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Jiang's medical skills can naturally stand the test. .
Perhaps because he was getting older, Emperor Pei was obviously more sentimental than before.
As Pei Sheng spoke, Emperor Pei remained silent with a grimace on his face.
Emperor Pei actually had some vague guesses in his mind. He sighed deeply and said with some dejection, "Just tell me."
Seeing this, Pei Sheng took out a few pieces of tissue paper from his sleeves, handed them over, and said slightly, "Brother's health and bones have been in poor condition. Father should investigate the reason."
Pei Sheng just looked at Emperor Pei and smiled, with a hint of unknown meaning in his smile.
Pei Sheng nodded slightly and said, "I still need to investigate the specific situation myself. I have no evidence."
Emperor Pei was actually most angry because he felt that he had been fooled.
Indeed, after Concubine Jing gave birth to the third prince, he was afraid that the powerful Liang family would breed ambitions, so he became more and more indifferent to Concubine Jing, and naturally he also showed indifference to Pei Sheng.
"You, please tell the truth and don't give me those vain words..." Emperor Pei pointed at Doctor Jiang and warned.
In the eyes of outsiders, it's not just that Emperor Pei didn't like Concubine Jing and her son.
Imperial Physician Jiang has gray hair and has wanted to retire and return to his hometown a few years ago, but His Majesty trusts his medical skills and refuses to let him go. No, after procrastinating again and again, he is getting very old and is still in the position of the Imperial Physician in charge of the hospital. However, he now only serves a few people in the highest positions in the imperial city.
Unfortunately, there has been no good news.
After bowing politely, Emperor Pei couldn't wait to ask him to diagnose Pei Sheng's pulse.
Pei Sheng nodded, "That's true. This poison is stubborn and we have been searching for a way to detoxify it for a long time to no avail. We can only use this method to save our lives."
"Why didn't you tell me? Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
Doctor Jiang nodded slightly, "It is indeed the best way. Compared with the fear of life, there is no other way. I wonder which expert detoxified the prince?"
Speaking of this, Doctor Jiang's eyes lit up.
Pei Sheng smiled slightly and said with some pride, "She is my princess."
Although Emperor Pei has not admitted it yet, he has already confirmed it, so he does not shy away from it.
