Chapter 165
Rong Xiangmian originally held on strongly, at this moment tears flowed down at once, she cried, “His Majesty …… he never cared about what prince county king …… he only needs his own father to be able to accompany him. At this time, you will accompany him.”
Hearing this cry, the emperor was moved, busy promised, sitting on the bed, pulling Zhou Xian Yang another hand.
Shen Duzhi then led the princes to sit outside the screen. The palace maids served tea, but everyone was too distracted to drink it. Only His Majesty King Kai, who had come all the way from the schoolyard and had a dry mouth, picked up the tea and drank it.
King Yun and King Diao looked at each other, always feel that this big brother, with them a few really no love. One day they are in a life and death situation, big brother will not be anxious about it.
At this time, on the other side of the screen came Zhou Xian Yang’s miserable cry.
“Ah ……”
“Xian Yang …… Xian Yang ……” Rong Xiang see crying messed up, the emperor shouted: “You quickly give him to stop the bleeding ah! ”
The imperial physicians did not wait for the word, has quickly on the bleeding stopping powder.
The princes couldn’t sit still and came back around, only to see that the court order of the Imperial Hospital, who was responsible for pulling out the arrows, had his sleeve soaked with blood, which should have been splashed by Zhou Xianyang’s blood when he pulled out the arrows, and the scene was horrifying.
Zhou Xianyang was sobered up by the pain, his mouth opened and closed, gasping for breath, but he couldn’t make a sound from the pain, and his body spasmed and convulsed. Rong Xiangxian could only grab his hand and hold half of his body, soothing him in his ear with the words, “Xianyang, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt any more…” …… ”
The emperor looked at Zhou Xian Yang’s bloodshot eyes and was so anxious that he rehashed the old saying from years ago, “Xian Yang, you are a man, be strong.”
The scene was a sight to behold as several of the emperors drew cold air, and King Yun was so anxious that he scratched his ears, “How’s it going? Can it be stopped?”
The Imperial Physician put on another hemostatic powder and gauze, and after some busy work, he breathed a sigh of relief, “The bleeding has stopped. Fortunately, the arrowhead did not hit the heart squarely, and was slightly off by an inch. Otherwise, it could not be saved at all.”
“Then it is saved?”
The eunuch looked at Yu Wang again and recut his pulse: “It may not be ah …… the effect of the pain relieving powder can’t resist the pain of pulling out the arrow at all, His Highness was in pain until he fainted. If you can come to your senses in these three days and retreat the fever, you may be saved. Any moment during this period, it is possible ……”
“Anything is possible!” The emperor was infuriated by the ambiguous attitude of this group of eunuchs and stood up to angrily rebuke, “There is only one possibility, and that is that Yang Hsien gets better.”
The Imperial Doctors immediately crouched to the ground, “Yes, we will do our best.”
Zhou Xian Yang’s consciousness was confused, fainted again, and when he was about to fall asleep, a few words suddenly popped out of his mouth, “Mother …… hurts ……”
Rong Xiangmian heard on the sidelines, heart shocked, busy crying to cover the past: “Your Highness, I am here …… I accompany you …… I guard you …… Don’t you leave me ……”
Said, crouched on his body mournful crying, along the way hand over his mouth. Luckily, his breath is weak, speaking voice is also small, the party was the sound of the eunuchs back to cover up the past.
See, this pulling out the arrow a pass for the time being, the next must be the doctors do not move an inch to guard.
The crowd sat and waited for a while, but Zhou Xian Yang never woke up.
Shen Duzhi advised the emperor to take care of his body, go back to rest for the time being, and come back to see if there is any situation.
Only then did the emperor get up and said, “Go to the Chongzheng Hall and call Wang Zhi to come.”
Said, signaled all the imperial son to leave the palace to return home, and said to the British Duke: “You stay.”
At this time, Huang Guifei and Hui Guifei rushed to see the emperor’s face like iron, although attached to Yang Xian, or habitually asked: “Your Majesty, I heard that you were frightened in the schoolyard, how is the dragon body? Did the doctor give you a look?”
“I am fine.”
“How is Yu Wang?”
The emperor took a deep breath, “Temporarily slowed down, you guys go to see him. By the way, the Empress Dowager’s side ……”
Imperial Concubine immediately said, “I’ve already sent word to Vice-Captain Tang that no one is allowed to leak information to Ci Ning Palace.”
“Good, Xian Yang is your son, so I’ll ask Imperial Noble Consort to take care of him here.” After the Emperor finished his instructions, he said to Imperial Concubine Hui, “Consort Yu is crying so hard, go advise her. Don’t let Xian Yang pull through while she collapses.”
“I understand, Your Majesty just rest assured.” Noble Consort Hui immediately agreed.
“I am very relieved to leave the palace in your hands.” Saying that, with a tired face, the emperor struggled to step over the high threshold of the Chonghua Palace and headed for the Chongzheng Palace.
Old General Qi and father and son Shi Wei were already kneeling outside the palace.
The emperor only let Qi old general get up, into the hall, give him and the British Duke a seat.
The two old ministers did not dare to sit, and stood in place with fear and trembling.
Today’s matter, his majesty will have thunderous anger, only because of the dangerous injury of king yup, only temporarily shelved. Now that King Yuh has saved his life for now, it is time to pursue the culpability.
How could the emperor not understand their thoughts, pointing to the seat, his tone aggravated: “Let you sit. I am old, you two are also old, after today’s events, we three, all have to serve the old ah.”
His Majesty’s words had a kindred spirit, and the two old ministers glanced at each other in tacit understanding before sitting down.
The emperor signaled the father and son kneeling outside the door, “Why is his son here?”
Old General Qi said, “Shi Wei said that his father acted insanely, endangered the Holy Emperor, seriously injured King Yu, and deserved to die for his crime. Please, Your Majesty, on account of the fact that the Shi family donated a life for the country, and on account of his father’s advanced age, allow him to take his father’s death and leave his father alive.”
The Emperor was silent for a moment, “Shi Feng did raise a filial son. Of all my children, how many of them can be filial to this extent?”
The Duke of England immediately said, “A His Highness Yu Wang is lying there in a matter of life and death, even if all of His Highnesses are willing to die for His Majesty, His Majesty can’t afford to give up his life.”
Elder General Qi knelt down and said, “The Shi family father and son were quite accomplished in the military, and Dalang died in West Qin, so much so that Shi Feng was stimulated and went crazy from time to time. The root cause of such a big trouble today is my negligence and carelessness, I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, and when I saw that he was getting better, I allowed him to come to the schoolyard.”
The emperor raised his hand to signal him to rise.
Shen Du Zhi enters the hall at this moment to report back, “Minister of war Wang Zhi is already waiting outside the hall.”
The emperor immediately asked him to come and inquire.
Wang Zhi is in charge of the general in charge of this martial arts drill, after such a big incident, in order to save his head, naturally he is desperately trying to absolve himself of responsibility, kneeling down in the hall to report back: “Shi Feng entered the school field with Old General Qi today, and those who have contacted him say that there is no abnormality in his behavior this day. Only, when the infantry maneuvered to attack the city, he broke away from the crowd on his own and stayed on the south slope where the crossbow was practiced, saying that he wanted to try out this new weapon. At that time, there were also other people in the army who were curious. The Company Crossbow Battalion was already proud of this new weapon, so they all let them test-fire at the target in the field where they were practicing. Who knows, Shi Feng took the weapon, suddenly went crazy, actually not at the target, but ran around, yelling ‘revenge’, and shot randomly. The soldiers of the crossbow battalion were busy controlling him before preventing the situation from expanding. Now, the Lieutenant of the Liannbow Battalion is already kneeling outside the Zhengyang Gate, together with my minister, asking for forgiveness from His Majesty.”
The emperor didn’t bother with any pleading: “Summon the Shi family father and son.”
As soon as the Shi family father and son entered the hall, they kowtowed heavily, “I deserve to die for my sins.”
“You deserve to die. If not for the fact that I still have doubts, you should have been executed on the spot a long time ago.”
Shi Wei had a deep friendship with King Yu, and at this moment, the feelings of remorse, shame, and pain were in chaos, only crying out in pain, “I don’t know how injured His Fourth Highness is? If he can turn to safety, I immediately die in this temple, can also rest in peace.”
The Emperor had heard of Shi Wei and Zhou Xian Yang growing up in the military together. At this moment, Shi Wei’s reaction was reasonable.
He had no place to express his anger, so he cursed, “You’d better beg for Xian Yang’s safety, or I’ll chop off both your heads!”
Shi’s father and son immediately said yes.
“Shi Feng, after you lost your son, you acted crazy. I sympathize with your family’s desperation for the country’s dynasty, and gave you an idle post to take care of your days, and also left Shi Wei to serve in the capital to take care of you in your old age, so why don’t you settle down and have to touch something like a crossbow. Is not someone instructed you!”
Once Shi Feng heard that the emperor was treating this accident as a premeditated assassination, he cried out on the spot, “Your majesty is clear, how could I have been instructed by someone, how could I dare to be unfavorable to you and your highness?”
“Then why do you think you went crazy for good reason? And also pointed that crossbow, impartially at me.”
“No, no, no!” …… My son died so tragically, his face was all □□ stabbed and rotted, Your Majesty, my son died so tragically ……”
Shi Feng simply can not properly recall what just happened, just keep repeating the words of madness, a moment to cry bitterly, a moment to laugh foolishly, yelling: “Revenge!”
Shi Wei was at the side, shedding tears while controlling his father and not making another mess in front of the imperial court.
Elder General Qi and the Duke of England were both very intolerant, but, with this appearance, how could the Emperor let it go?
Sure enough, the Emperor summoned the Department of Penal Precepts to take Shi Feng away for interrogation.
Shi Wei was reluctant, but in order to prove that his father had not plotted treason to assassinate His Majesty, he had no choice but to do so. He could only kneel on the ground and weep silently.
At this time, Duan Fei brought over the evidence that the Imperial Doctors had just packed up and showed it to the Emperor.
A blood-stained gold silk soft armor, in the center, a broken opening. There were also bow and arrowheads that had been cut into several pieces.
The emperor took a look and said, “This thing, why does it look somewhat familiar?”
The Duke of England immediately rose and replied, “This is His Majesty’s reward. The one of Erlang is now given to Xiangwang. This one of my minister’s, which was given to the crown princess as a dowry, was meant to be used by Yu Wang.”
“Well, fortunately there is this item that saved Xian Yang’s life.” The emperor briefly looked at it and told Duan Fei to keep it safe along with the things Wang Zhi sent.
After a day of thrill, the emperor was a bit tired and told the courtiers in the hall to retire.
British Duke and Qi old general asked for an order, want to go to Chonghua Hall again to visit. The emperor nodded his head and agreed, and said: “You look at it back, go back early, rest well. Arms are not sharp, but also when and once upon a time like an iron man, for me to block knives and guns.”
The two old ministers said: “Even if there is a breath, also have to do so.”
The emperor waved his hand: “Go.”
Chonghua Hall, Rong Xiangmian has gotten out of bed, sideburns scattered hair, powder stained, leaning on the edge of the bed, without the grace of the princess square.
