Chapter 514 The Little Emperor Has a Heart Attack
Prime Minister Ruan came to Kunning Palace, and after paying his respects, he sat in an armchair nearby.
The brother and sister looked at each other in silence.
When the events in Salt Lake City reached the royal capital, the government and the people were shocked and could hardly believe that there was still a powerful family that was so bold as to do such a heinous and brutal thing in Salt Lake.
Even the senior officials sent by the imperial court were bribed, the number of such cases is simply too numerous to list.
After half a month of angry discussions, the memorials coming in from Salt Lake City were more shocking than the last.
I can't believe there are people who are so vicious.
The entire court was demanding that the emperor severely punish Lu Hong and his clan, and even execute the prefect and the salt commissioner by slow slicing.
Fu Jinyi handled this matter extremely calmly and maturely. He was even able to keep his emotions hidden. He was like a mature emperor, and the court officials were pleasantly surprised at his transformation.
Only Prime Minister Ruan felt pity for the emperor's change.
The court officials might not have noticed it yet, but when the memorial from Salt Lake City was sent to the cabinet, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
They also thought that the Lu and Hong clans were so bold because they relied on He Zhiyuan as their backer.
Prime Minister Ruan knew clearly that the salt transportation in the northwest had always been in the hands of the Empress Dowager.
He could guess that since the Regent was in Salt Lake City, he would definitely be able to find more clues. What else did the Regent find out besides what was written in the memorial?
No one knows.
The emperor may know.
But the emperor said nothing.
When it came to the re-election of prefects and salt commissioners, Prime Minister Ruan knew that the emperor had chosen all of them were the regent and his own confidants.
Prime Minister Ruan sighed softly.
"Do you have anything to say?" asked Queen Mother Ruan.
Prime Minister Ruan thought for a moment and spoke carefully, "Does the Queen Mother know about the bad habits of Salt Lake City over the years?"
"Do you think that if I knew about this, I would still condone their evil deeds?" Queen Mother Ruan asked sternly.
"You don't know, what about Yi Lanxin and Wei Zhen?" Prime Minister Ruan asked in a low voice.
Empress Dowager Ruan held her forehead with her hand, "Yi Lanxin went out to travel two years ago and arrived in Suzhou a while ago. Even if she didn't know before, she must know it now."
"Haven't you sent a letter to the Queen Mother yet?" asked Prime Minister Ruan.
"No." Queen Mother Ruan was also worried that something might happen to Yi Lanxin on the way.
Prime Minister Ruan said, "The nursery rhyme last time was also written by the Queen Mother's people, right?"
"I have already severely punished Liao Yingying. She will never dare to do anything wrong again." Empress Dowager Ruan frowned.
"Empress Dowager, what do you think of what the Emperor has done since he ascended the throne?" asked Prime Minister Ruan.
"The emperor has always been intelligent, and now he is working hard to govern the country and appoint talented people to capable positions. I have no complaints at all," said Empress Dowager Ruan.
If she felt that the emperor was not doing a good job, she would not sit quietly in Kunning Palace.
"But Yi Lanxin and the others don't think so. They should prefer to support you." Prime Minister Ruan raised his eyes and looked directly at Queen Dowager Ruan.
"The emperor is in good health now, and there is also a regent. It is almost impossible for you to get everyone to respond to your call, unless..." Prime Minister Ruan opened his mouth.
"I know you will not be separated from both of your sons."
Queen Mother Ruan's eyes were red, "Of course I won't!"
"Whether you believe it or not, I haven't had such thoughts since I found the Regent."
Prime Minister Ruan naturally believed in Empress Dowager Ruan. If she still had that intention, the new emperor's ascension to the throne would not be so smooth.
The late emperor will live two more years.
"The female officials and soldiers under you exist to support you. If you don't have any thoughts, will they be willing?" They were a group of wolf cubs who had been ready to go.
Just waiting to grab a bite of the enemy's flesh and then bite it to death.
Who knew that a regent would appear and easily deal with their enemies.
Empress Dowager Ruan: "Your Majesty, do you still want to investigate?"
"At least on the surface, they won't investigate further." Prime Minister Ruan said.
"Should I tell the truth to the emperor?" Empress Dowager Ruan has always been tough and strong, and for the first time she felt at a loss.
Prime Minister Ruan was also embarrassed, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is such a kind and filial child."
"I know." Empress Dowager Ruan's voice trembled slightly.
The hall fell silent again.
"You can go down." Queen Mother Ruan waved her hand gently.
Prime Minister Ruan bowed and said, "I will take my leave."
At the same time, the young emperor was in the Yangxin Palace, and the imperial physician was taking his pulse.
"Your Majesty..." The imperial physician's hand trembled slightly, and he looked at the emperor in surprise.
Fu Jinyi smiled at him and said, "What's wrong? I just can't sleep well."
Imperial Physician Jiang lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Doctor Zhou to come back and give you acupuncture? His formation is unmatched. Under his care, Your Majesty's heart disease has improved greatly."
Although Zhou Zhou had taught him the emperor's medical records, including acupuncture techniques, before he left, he still had no way to guarantee that he could cure the emperor's heart disease with Doctor Zhou's medical skills.
Fu Jinyi closed his eyes, "No need, I just can't sleep well these days."
Imperial Physician Jiang was screaming in his heart, but the Emperor's complexion looked wrong, and his pulse was clearly a sign that his heart disease was about to relapse.
God, what was he going to do?
If anything happens to the emperor, he will never be able to atone for his sins even if he dies.
"You can give me the acupuncture. Don't tell anyone about my health, including the Queen Mother." Fu Jinyi whispered.
Imperial Physician Jiang choked up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
How could such a gentle and kind emperor have a heart disease?
God is so unfair.
Imperial Physician Jiang sighed in his heart while giving acupuncture to the emperor according to the formation taught by Zhou Zhou.
Fu Jinyi felt that the heavy pain in his heart was gradually easing.
He fell asleep without realizing it.
Imperial Physician Jiang was very careful, fearing that he would wake up the emperor who hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Although you told me not to tell anyone, I promised the Regent that I would always tell him about your health condition."
He also has a secret guard at home.
When he returned home, he immediately asked the secret guard to tell the regent that the emperor's heart disease had recurred.
Only if Doctor Zhou returns can the emperor be cured.
After a cup of tea, Imperial Physician Jiang removed the needle from Fu Jinyi's body.
Fu Jinyi slept even more deeply.
He left the bedroom quietly and silently.
I saw the senior palace maid of Kunning Palace standing quietly outside the door.
"Shh." Imperial Physician Jiang immediately stopped her from speaking and motioned for her to move away.
"Aunt Qingli, the emperor finally fell asleep." Imperial Physician Jiang said in a low voice.
Qingli was shocked, "The emperor is ill?"
"I haven't been sleeping well these days." Imperial Physician Jiang didn't dare tell Qingli that the emperor had a heart attack.
"Then I'll wait here until the emperor wakes up before going in." Qingli said.
Imperial Physician Jiang did not dare to go far and could only wait in the side hall.
Fu Jinyi fell asleep until the Golden Crow set in the west.
His complexion looked much rosier than before.
However, when he saw Qingli coming to invite him to Kunning Palace, his eyes dimmed a little.
