CHAPTER 115 Dying
“Ahhaaaaaa……”
The Empress suddenly let out a low cry and looked around, only to see that the Fifth Prince's small face was pale as he collapsed, with blinding blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by many palace maids and sisters, and then his figure could not be seen. Only saw that large group of people clustered to leave from the seat, and even the emperor and queen also retired from the seat one after another ......
The people in the hall were all looking at each other, and for a while, the hall was silent.
After this kind of thing happened, the palace banquet naturally could not continue as if nothing had happened.After a while, the palace banquet ended hurriedly after the instructions from the attendants.
It is rare for a palace banquet to end in this way.
Nangong Yue went out of the palace with Su Shi and the others under the arrangement of the palace people, all of them got into their respective carriages, Nangong Yue was naturally with her mother Lin Shi.
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, the sun has been obscured by dark clouds, a stormy ...... appearance.
Nangong Yue felt like a mountain was pressing down on her heart. Fifth Prince, what has happened to him now?
Will everything turn out as Guan Yubai predicted?
The more Nangong Yue thought about it, the more she felt out of breath, her right hand tightly clasping the jade pendant hanging between her waist, the veins on the back of her hand bulging out, and her whole body crumbling like a bow that had been fully drawn.
Lin Shi sensed that her daughter's mood was not good. She held her little hand in one hand to comfort her and took her in her arms with the other hand and said softly: "Yue Jie Er, it's okay. The Fifth Prince will be fine..." She thought to herself: Although Yue Jie Er usually acts like an adult, she is still a little girl. A rare palace banquet even happened this kind of thing, no wonder she was scared ...... Besides, the Fifth Prince is very close to her. Hey, the poor Fifth Prince at young age ...... once enter the palace door, it is deep like the sea, this saying is really not wrong.
Of course, Nangong Yue knew that her mother had misunderstood, but she was unable to say what was really on her mind, and could only remain silent and shrink into her mother's arms.
"Da da da..." The carriage of Nangong Mansion drove slowly along the official road of the capital, with the sound of horse hooves, the rolling of wheels, and the kicking up of dust on the bluestone road. When I looked up at the sky, I saw that half of the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the other half was burning with blood-like clouds, which looked very mysterious.
The sky of this Wangdu is afraid to change!
---***********------
Inside the Fengluan Palace, the air was extremely oppressive, as heavy as the eve of a heavy rainstorm, and the palace ladies and grandmothers did not dare to take a breath.
"How exactly is the Fifth Prince?" The Empress said in a loud voice, "If you can't cure him, this palace will want to bury your entire family with him!" Her voice was cold and carried a compelling pressure, but her face was as white as paper. Without the trappings of the Empress, she was nothing more than a mother worried about her son.
On the bed, the Fifth Prince, who was rosy-cheeked and full of spirit during the day, was now blue in the face and dying. Originally, this bed couch was a large size, but now that it reflected the Fifth Prince's small body, it looked more and more pitiful.
The Empress was sitting on the edge of the bed, clutching one of the Fifth Prince's small hands, her eyes red and swollen, her makeup still on. However, she didn't care how her face looked right now, her eyes were fixed on the Fifth Prince, fearing that if she blinked, he would just walk away.
The Imperial Doctors at the bottom knelt down in a row, all of them sweating profusely and looking at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.
The Imperial Doctors all checked the Fifth Prince's pulse, but no one could tell the reason. The pulse seemed a bit like poisoning, but it was not poisoning. Besides, who in the palace would dare to spread the rumor of poisoning? That would be courting death!
What's more, the Fifth Prince was too weak. This acute illness made his already weak body even worse, just like a shaky skyscraper that could collapse at any moment!
In the current situation, they are truly powerless!
"Empress Mother!" The most senior Imperial Doctor Wu opened his mouth trembling, "Please forgive me for not being able to do anything! Your Majesty, you should ...... still prepare for the Fifth Prince's afterlife as soon as possible!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The Empress raised her voice in anger, like a lioness protecting her cubs, "Doctor Wu, even if you are the judge of the Imperial Hospital, this palace can still let you die without a burial place!"
"Empress Mother, it's not the ministers who are talking nonsense." Having been in the palace for so many years, Imperial Doctor Wu was not intimidated by the Empress's words and still insisted, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is terminally ill, and there is really nothing I can do.
"You shut up!" The Empress was still imposing, but her tears flowed uncontrollably like pearls with broken strings. With her understanding of Imperial Doctor Wu, she knew that he wouldn't be aimless, but she really didn't want to believe what the other party said, her imperial son was still so young, how could he leave her!
"The Emperor has arrived!"
At this time, the chamberlain made an announcement, and the emperor strode into Fengluan Palace. A group of people hurriedly knelt down and saluted the emperor, and the queen also gave a blessing salute.
"See Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy!" The emperor waved his hand casually, and then asked the queen anxiously, "Empress, how is Xiao Wu's condition?"
The Empress straightened up, tears filling her eyes once again, and said sadly, “Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor said, said that Xiao Wu he ...... he ......” She choked on her words.
The emperor's eyes turned to Dr. Wu, sternly said, “Dr. Wu, you say!”
Imperial Doctor Wu bowed respectfully and repeated what he had just said to the empress, not daring to raise his head out of fear. This emperor's authority, a single word can destroy the world!
The Emperor also did not expect the Fifth Prince's illness to be so severe, and his face did not look too good, so he scolded with a stern voice, "What is the use of having so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital? No matter how good the medicine is, you must cure the Fifth Prince for me! Otherwise, Zhen will hold you all accountable!"
Imperial Doctor Wu replied numbly, "The minister will do my best ......"
At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs next to them all slightly lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, or rather, wishing they could be invisible right now.
The Imperial Doctors were even more trembling, gathered together and discussed with each other, but there was no conclusion for a long time.
The Emperor walked over to the bed of the Fifth Prince and looked at his little son on the bed without saying a word, his face was somber.
At that time, Duchess En Guo rushed to Feng Luan Palace under the guidance of the palace maid and first greeted the Emperor and Empress.
After standing up, she looked at the Empress's mournful expression and said softly, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Could it be that in such a large palace, there isn't even a single Imperial Doctor who can cure the Fifth Prince?"
"No ......," the empress burst into tears, her words failing her, "They all said ...... all said that I should prepare for Xiao Wu... . prepare for the funeral!" The Empress' tone was filled with grief, her lips trembling slightly.
"What?!" Duchess En Guo was so shocked that her body shook twice, "How could it be so serious?"
"Back to Madam En Guo Gong." That Imperial Doctor Wu bowed and explained, his spine almost bent, "The Fifth Prince was born weak, this time it's just adding insult to injury for him, there's really nothing we can do!"
"Then... what should we do?" Duchess Enguo's face turned pale. If the Fifth Prince really died like this, it would be absolutely bad news for the Enguo Mansion.
Duchess Enguo was at a loss as to what to do. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes lit up. She said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, these quack doctors are incompetent! Why don't we let the third young lady from Nangong Mansion give it a try? Didn't these quack doctors fail to detect the remaining poison in your body before? The third young lady cured it. Maybe she has a solution!"
"Can she... really do it?" The empress looked at the emperor with some hesitation. Although Nangong Yue was highly skilled in medicine, she was still so young that it was impossible for her to be able to handle so many difficult and complicated diseases at the same time. Besides, the Emperor was here, so even the Empress could not make her own decisions at will.
"The third Miss Nangong?" The emperor came over when he heard this, "Are you talking about the girl from Nangong Qin's family?" In this royal capital, that family is the only one with the surname Nangong!
The Empress hurriedly replied, "The third young lady from Nangong Mansion is the only daughter of Nangong Mu, the second son of the Nangong family. Her grandfather is the famous genius doctor Lin Jingchen, whose medical skills are very advanced, but unfortunately, his whereabouts are hard to find!"
Fearing that the Emperor would not agree, Duchess Enguo also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although the Third Miss Nangong is young, she has extraordinary medical skills. The imperial doctors were helpless to cure my headache, but it was Third Miss Nangong who cured it."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible to try it now that it's come to this!" The Emperor's heart also toyed with the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse. What if Nangong Yue could really work?
The Empress caught a glimpse of the Emperor and immediately knew the Emperor's mind. Of course, the emperor would not summon Nangong Yue to the palace by his own decree. After all, Nangong Yue was only a ten-year-old girl, if she didn't cure the Fifth Prince, wouldn't even the Emperor have no choice but to become a laughing stock?
The Empress took another look at the pale Fifth Prince lying on the bed and took out a golden token. "Mama Li, tell the eunuch to take this token and announce my decree to summon Nangong Yue, the third young lady of the Nangong Mansion, to the palace!"
"Yes!" Li Mama took the order and left in a hurry.
"I hope she really has a way!" The Empress held the Fifth Prince's hand tightly, but her eyes glanced out the door from time to time, as if waiting for the final savior.
"Da Da Da..."
The carriage sent by Fengluan Palace was speeding down the street toward Nangong Mansion.
At that time, inside the Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yue was leaning against the soft couch by the window, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, and her heart was actually not as calm as it seemed.
After a long time, Yimei finally couldn't help but say, "Third Miss, it's late at night, it's time to rest.
Let's wait a little longer." Nangong Yue looked at the dark night outside and said slowly.
Yimei couldn't help but mutter in her heart: After returning from the palace, the Third Lady said she would wait, and she has been waiting until now, and I don't know what she is waiting for...
At that moment, there was a noise outside, and Huamei reported: "Third Miss, the butler sent someone to tell you that someone from the palace has come. The Empress has an imperial decree asking you to quickly go to the hall in the front yard.
It's finally here!
Guan Yubai really wasn't wrong!
A glint of joy flashed across Nangong Yue's eyes as she stood up in a huff and responded, “I'll go right away.”
With Yimei's help, Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and hurried to the hall.
Inside the hall, a white-faced, beardless Eunuch paced impatiently, looking towards the door from time to time, and as soon as he saw Nangong Yue, he was overjoyed, taking out a golden token, and urgently said, “Third Miss Nangong, the Empress has a decree, asking you to follow the old slave into the palace.”
This token represented the Empress's imperial decree, and Nangong Yue immediately blessed herself and responded, “My daughter respectfully obeys the Empress's imperial decree.”
“Then, Third Miss Nangong, please follow the old slave.”
The arrival of someone from the palace, such a big event, naturally alarmed Su Shi. When Su Shi hurried to the hall, Nangong Yue had already taken Yimei on the palace carriage and left...
