Chapter 179: husband and wife trust
Chapter 179 Trust between husband and wife
Meng Qianqian, Lu Yuan, Zong Zhengxi, and his personal **** Xiao Dezi, went to Zhuanghe Hall, the emperor's sleeping palace.
Zhuanghe Palace is just a small, quiet palace. Living here was the request of the Supreme Emperor himself.
After several years of worshiping Buddha in the temple, he gradually became accustomed to purity.
As soon as they entered the palace, Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan felt an extremely tense atmosphere.
The eunuchs and maids all knelt in the corridor, their eyebrows lowered, and they did not dare to make a sound. Occasionally, people from the imperial hospital walked past in a hurry, but they all looked solemn.
"Your Majesty..."
The palace guards on guard discovered Zong Zhengxi and were about to salute him.
Zong Zhengxi raised his hand, and the palace attendants cautiously stepped aside.
Zong Zhengxi only left for two hours. When he returned to his father's bedroom, he found that there were many people in front of his father's bed.
"Sister Royal."
Zong Zhengxi called Princess Wanping.
Princess Wanping heard nothing. She knelt in front of the bed and cried uncontrollably next to the Supreme Emperor.
Behind her, kneeling were the remaining siblings.
But how much of it is truly heartbreaking and how much of it is performed to the point of tears is unknown.
Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan exchanged glances.
Although Lu Yuan did not want to see Princess Wanping, he had to admit that her filial piety towards the Supreme Emperor was genuine. If the Supreme Emperor was really poisoned, she could be eliminated first.
Meng Qianqian's eyes swept over the other princes. She didn't recognize them and couldn't tell anything at the moment.
"His Majesty."
The third prince noticed Zong Zhengxi first and stood up and saluted him.
The others also stood up.
Zong Zhengxi said: "Brothers, there is no need to be polite."
When he saw the imperial doctors, they also quickly saluted him.
Then, everyone saw Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian behind him.
Not all of them may know Meng Qianqian, but all of them know Lu Yuan.
Everyone was shocked.
Zong Zhengxi took in everyone's reactions, calmed down, and said: "Mrs. Lu is proficient in the art of Qihuang. I went to the Governor's Mansion to invite her to treat my father's illness."
"absurd!"
The second prince stepped forward angrily. He was older than Concubine Li, and he was a very impressive prince.
He pointed at Meng Qianqian and said, "I have never heard that she knows any medical skills. Even if she does, with her current status, it is hard to say whether she will cure or harm her father!"
The Third Prince also spoke up: "Yes, Your Majesty, have you forgotten who sent your father to the palace to 'recuperate' in the past few years?"
Except for Zong Zhengxi, everyone else really thought that the Supreme Emperor had been under house arrest in the palace in recent years.
The second prince said: "Lu Yuan doesn't feel at ease!"
Zong Zhengxi was a little weak: "Father...Father has actually been doing well in the 'Palace' these past few years."
However, he fell ill as soon as he returned to the palace.
He didn't take good care of his father, he was so useless!
The second prince said angrily: "Have you forgotten how the former prince died? Wasn't it because he hired a charlatan to kill him?"
The fifth prince said sarcastically: "Second brother and third brother, please stop talking. If the prince does not die, will it be his turn to be the emperor? How could he blame Lu Yuan?"
Lu Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, this governor has not been in court for only a month, but these brothers of yours already dare to talk to you like this?"
Zong Zhengxi's face turned pale.
That's right, when Lu Yuan was regent, none of his brothers dared to be sarcastic or rude to him.
It was as if only Lu Yuan could teach him a lesson, and no one else could.
The third prince said coldly: "Lu Yuan, you have no place to speak here! The crimes you have committed are too numerous to describe. It is because the father and the Prime Minister are tolerant and think of your meritorious service in surrendering Beiliang that they spared your life!"
"Prime Minister." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
The young **** reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asked for a meeting, and he brought a miracle doctor." The moment she saw the miracle doctor next to Xun Xiangguo, Meng Qianqian's expression froze.
Lady Yan?
It's her?
Meng Qianqian did not doubt Lady Yan's reputation as a miraculous doctor. After all, she suffered from colds after being punished in Changchun Palace and her life was hanging by a thread. Lady Yan saved her.
What surprised her was how could Lady Yan be with Xiangguo Xun?
When she saw Lu Yuan's unsurprised look, she understood instantly.
Lady Yan is from the state of Xun Xiang.
No wonder Wanhua Tower has such an outstanding status in the capital.
The murderer of her family is related to Wanhualou. Does this mean that Xun Xiangguo is also related to her family's case?
Someone who can bring a case to a conclusion despite so many flaws must be extremely powerful.
To be honest, her first suspicion was Lu Yuan. Approaching him and using him were actually investigating him.
After walking around the border, Lu Yuan was eliminated as a suspect.
So, who is the Supreme Emperor or Prime Minister Xun?

Xun Xiangguo bowed respectfully to Zong Zhengxi: "My lord, I'm going to pay homage to your Majesty!"
Lu Yuan never knelt down before the emperor. In comparison, the prime minister's etiquette was much more thorough.
Zong Zhengxi said hurriedly: "Xiangguo, please come to your senses quickly, and this miracle doctor, please come to your senses as well."
Xiangguo and Lady Yan stood up one after another.
"Xiangguo."
Lu Yuan bowed his hand calmly and politely.
Xun Xiangguo also returned the gift.
Then, Xun Xiangguo said to Zong Zhengxi: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Supreme Emperor is critically ill. The imperial doctors have tried their best to stabilize the condition of the Supreme Emperor. However, they have been awake for three days. The imperial doctors are exhausted mentally and physically. After asking around, I learned that everything is going well. Mrs. Yan from Hualou is very skilled in medicine, why not ask her to take a look at it for the Supreme Emperor?"
These words not only explained the purpose of the visit, but also gave the imperial doctors a way out.
Who doesn’t feel comfortable hearing this?
None of the princes had any objections.
Zong Zhengxi could only agree.
Lady Yan came to the bed and said to Princess Wanping: "Princess, I want to diagnose the Supreme Emperor's pulse. Please go to the chair to rest for a while."
Princess Wanping didn't move. She was so sad that her whole body was sluggish.
Finally, Zong Zhengxi asked two palace maids to take her away by force: "Don't hurt the imperial sister!"
Lady Yan took the Emperor's pulse, checked his body, opened her eyelids and looked at his pupils and tongue, and shook her head: "It's not a febrile disease, nor is it poisoning. It's strange. I've never seen this kind of disease before."
Xun Xiangguo frowned: "Is there a cure?"
Madam Yan shook her head again: "If you can't detect the disease, you can't prescribe the right medicine."
Meng Qianqian stared. She believed in Madam Yan's medical skills and would not make mistakes in diagnosis.
It’s neither a febrile disease nor poisoning, so it can only be—
She said: "Can you let me have a try?"
Lady Yan smiled faintly: "You? Don't forget, I saved your life back then. You are so powerful, how come you can't even cure your cold syndrome?"
Upon hearing this, the princes were even more reluctant to let Meng Qianqian treat the Supreme Emperor.
Meng Qianqian said: "Doctors don't heal themselves."
It's not that she can't be cured, it's that she lacks medicine. She can't buy the kind of Ganoderma lucidum that treats cold syndrome even if she has money.
Madam Yan smiled and said, "If a doctor doesn't heal himself, he is afraid that you, the governor of the government... have ulterior motives. You must know that it is very easy for doctors to kill people, such as Mrs. Chu back then."
Yes, Marshal Chu, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, died at the hands of Madam Chu, the genius doctor at the border.
Lu Yuan asked Meng Qianqian in a low voice: "How sure are you?"
Meng Qianqian thought for a while: "Less than 30%."
Lu Yuan: "That's enough."
Before Meng Qianqian could figure out what "enough" meant, she saw Lu Yuan taking a few steps forward with great solemnity, full of aura.
"I am willing to guarantee with my life that my wife will never harm the Supreme Emperor. When the Supreme Emperor is here, I will be here. When the Supreme Emperor dies, I will die!"
