Chapter 397 Qingjun’s Side
Chapter 397 Qingjun’s Side
This time, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
But after being hit, you can't even cry out in pain.
Because it's all your own fault.
"If anything happens to the emperor's health, who will be responsible if you insist on doing so?" Huo Qiming threatened.
The guard didn't care at all. "We are just doing what King Rui asked. Doctor Huo needs to ask King Rui for the rest."
"Good good!"
Huo Qiming pointed his finger at the guards and said, "Remember what I said today. If something really happens in the future, none of you will be able to escape."
After saying that, Huo Qiming turned and left, and Song Ming could only follow him carrying the box of medicine.
"What should we do now?" Song Ming asked worriedly.
"Are we really going to let them go on like this?"
Huo Qiming no longer had the anger he had just felt. Instead, he said in a good mood, "If the sky falls, there is someone tall to hold it up. If there is a problem with this matter, there is King Rui to hold it up.
You and I are just following orders.
Doctor Song doesn't need to worry too much."
Song Ming thought of his previous worries and asked again, "What if the emperor uses my prescription and it doesn't work? Will it implicate me?"
"We came up with the prescription, but the idea was decided by Prince Rui. I still say that with Prince Rui here, Doctor Song has nothing to worry about."
Song Ming was not optimistic. "But I am involved in this after all. What if..."
Huo Qiming's expression turned cold when he heard this. "Doctor Song, don't forget that you also agreed when we first decided on this idea. Are you going to back out now?"
Song Ming shook his head, feeling for a moment that he could neither advance nor retreat. He could have stayed out of it, but now he was in a dilemma.
Thinking about it more carefully, when Huo Qiming made this suggestion, he must have guessed that Prince Rui would definitely choose him, which is why he was so confident.
He got what he wanted, but he got himself into trouble.
Thinking of this, Song Ming felt even more uncomfortable.
Since entering the Imperial Hospital, he has helped Huo Qiming do a lot of things, and even plotted against Prince Rui who had some affection for him. He didn't expect that Huo Qiming simply treated him as a pawn.
If I had known this would happen, I would have devoted myself to Prince Rui. Even if I could just hold a sinecure position in the Imperial Hospital, it would still be better than my current situation.
Perhaps sensing Song Ming's reluctance, Huo Qiming softened his attitude and advised, "Doctor Song, don't worry too much. Although our prescriptions are different, they are both the right medicine for the disease. When the emperor wakes up, you will have done a great deed. Doctor Song, just wait for the emperor's reward."
Song Ming snorted secretly and almost rolled his eyes.
When this plan was made in the first place, wasn't it because you wanted King Rui to take responsibility?
If there really was a reward, how could Huo Qiming give it away?
He cursed inwardly, but Song Ming showed no sign of it.
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. He will surely wake up soon." He said, "It's just that my medical skills are still limited. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope that Doctor Huo can teach me in time."
When Huo Qiming heard that Song Ming wanted to drag him into this, he quickly said, "Prince Rui is here. With his current attitude, I'm afraid he won't listen to other people's advice. You just listen to Prince Rui.
As for the rest, let's go with our previous plan. No matter what, I will speak well of you in front of Concubine Shu."
After hearing what Huo Qiming said, Song Ming was finally satisfied.
"Then we have Doctor Lao Huo."
Huo Qiming nodded, turned and left the palace.
Song Ming, however, was carrying the box of medicine towards the Imperial Medical Bureau. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that he no longer needed the medicine, so why was he still bothering to carry it?
So he picked up the medicine bowl and poured all the medicine onto the side of the road.
Exhausted, Song Ming no longer had the strength to return home.
After returning to the Imperial Medical Bureau, he rested in the room prepared for the on-duty imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone outside calling out, "Doctor Song, Doctor Song. It's already the morning hour. Prince Rui asked me to remind you that it's time to boil medicine for the emperor."
Don’t waste time!”
Song Ming opened his eyes with difficulty.
He had been so exhausted throughout the day and night that he had to get up again to boil medicine before he had a good rest. He became more and more certain that King Rui was deliberately torturing him.
There's nothing I can do about it. It's my own fault for getting involved!
Song Ming resigned himself to his fate and climbed out of bed, put on his slippers, didn't comb his hair or wash his face, and ran straight to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
……
On the other hand, Ye Xinran and King Rui and others did not get a good rest that night.
Before leaving last night, Ye Xinran gave the emperor the antidote she made. Early this morning, she came to give him acupuncture to detoxify him.
"How long will it take him to wake up if he continues like this?" King Rui asked as he watched Ye Xinran put away the needle.
Ye Xinran left the bed and signaled the maid to come over and make the bed for the emperor's clothes. "It will take at least seven days."
"Seven days?" King Rui hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xinran asked.
"Oh, nothing."
Prince Rui walked aside, trying to stay as far away from the palace maids and eunuchs as possible, and then he spoke: "I just heard a piece of news yesterday. I heard that those new factions wanted to take this opportunity to purge the emperor's side and purge me, the prince who held the imperial power hostage!"
"Qingjun side?"
Ye Xinran murmured.
She seemed not to understand the meaning of these three words.
In the past, when we talked about clearing the emperor's side, we were referring to clearing out the treacherous ministers and villains around the emperor and restoring peace to the country.
I have never heard of any loyal ministers around the Qing emperors.
Besides, King Rui was a hero who had just pacified the northern border.
What exactly are those people's intentions? Are they so eager to kill King Rui?
"I really don't understand."
Ye Xinran said what was in her heart, "Even if I have never met King Rui, from the perspective of a commoner, I would feel that King Rui has made an invaluable contribution to Daliang, and it is even more impossible for those new-school students not to understand this truth.
They are all educated people. Could it be that all the books they have read over the years have been wasted? "
In the past, King Rui rarely saw ladies from noble families scolding others.
I have seen a lot from Ye Xinran in the past two days.
But she looks particularly lively and interesting like this.
King Rui explained: "It is precisely because they all understand in their hearts that this happened."
"why?"
Ye Xinran really didn't understand.
"Because they all know that the emperor's health may not be good."
King Rui explained: "As new forces that have risen through hard work and study, they want to take this opportunity to suppress the aristocratic families who hold real power.
Only in this way, when the new emperor ascends the throne, can they gain more say and power over affairs.”
"Is that why?"
Ye Xinran still didn't understand, "Then they shouldn't target you, King Rui!"
