Chapter 2 My Innocence
Chapter 2 My Innocence
"My Lord, something big has happened!"
A fat eunuch as round as a ball ran towards the inner house of Prince Yu's Mansion with a terrified expression, howling as if he was bitten on the butt by a tiger.
In the room, Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui (jì) had just finished drinking a bowl of calming soup served by the little palace maid beside him. He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a pig-slaughtering howl outside, and an unhappy look immediately appeared on his face.
However, after showing this displeasure, Zhu Zaigui, who was of a weak character, seemed to have accepted his fate. He sighed and forced himself to sit up. Looking at the distressed and confused expression on his face, no one would have thought that this was a thirteen-year-old child.
Zhu Zaigui was born on the 23rd day of the first lunar month in the 16th year of the Jiajing reign. He was the third son of Emperor Jiajing, who was hailed as the smartest and most famous emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His mother was Concubine Du Kang, who was not very favored.
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was no different from a transparent person in the heart of Emperor Jiajing.
Moreover, because of the prophecy of "two dragons never meet", Zhu Zaigui's situation became even more difficult, so the young Zhu Zaigui did not have a happy childhood. This is why he seemed so bitter and depressed at such a young age.
Meng Chong rushed to Zhu Zaigui in a hurry. Without even taking a breath, he said impatiently: "Your Highness, something big has happened! The Crown Prince has passed away!"
After Zhu Zaigui heard Meng Chong's words, his brain seemed to be overloaded with the information from these words. He stood there in a daze for a moment, appearing a little dazed.
After a long while, Zhu Zaigui suddenly woke up, his eyes showed an extremely terrified expression, and his voice trembled.
"What did you say?!"
Meng Chong felt depressed when he saw the stupid prince he served, who was so slow and he couldn't even say a word when hit with three sticks!
However, as a slave, Meng Chong did not have the right to choose his master, so no matter how stupid Zhu Zaigui was, that was still his fate. He did not dare to show any presumptuousness in front of Zhu Zaigui and could only be respectful and respectful to Zhu Zaigui.
Meng Chong lowered his body and said anxiously, "The prince has passed away!"
Zhu Zaigui finally heard Meng Chong's words clearly, but he still couldn't believe it. His eyes widened and he asked again: "What did you say?"
Meng Chong was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet. What happened to Prince Yu? Wasn't what he said clear enough?
Meng Chong suppressed his excitement and said word by word: "The crown prince has passed away!"
When Zhu Zaigui heard Meng Chong repeat this sentence again, his brain seemed to be really overloaded by these four words.
In an instant, Zhu Zaigui felt the world in front of his eyes spinning, and before Zhu Zaigui could come up with a second thought, a loud bang came to his ears!
The pain was like a numbing sensation, and it instantly spread to every corner of his dull nerves. But before he could feel the severe pain, the world before his eyes disappeared, and along with it, his consciousness.
Meng Chong became even more panicked when he saw his prince suddenly fainted!
He never expected that his own prince would be so cowardly. Seeing that huge wealth was about to come, how could he not bear it?
You know, when the crown prince passed away, he was the eldest son of the emperor (Jiajing)! He had a bright future!
But he never expected that he would faint from fright.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Meng Chong immediately got furious!
He didn't want to have a happy event turned into a tragedy in the blink of an eye.
Meng Chong cried out and hugged Zhu Zaigui, shouting, "My Lord, wake up! You can't scare me like this!"
Meng Chong shook Zhu Zaigui in his arms again, but at this moment Zhu Zaigui seemed to be really dead and didn't even react at all.
Meng Chong was so frightened by this that his face turned green. He yelled, "Go find the imperial physician and report to the emperor!"
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were suddenly shocked when they heard Meng Chong's words. They rushed out of the house and went to find the imperial physician as Meng Chong said. At the same time, they also went to report the situation to Emperor Jiajing.
After all, Zhu Zaigui was the son of Emperor Jiajing. Even if he was not favored, he could not have any mistakes. Otherwise, God knew how great a disaster would be waiting for him.
Zhu Yuan, who had a hangover the night before, rubbed his aching head. He could usually drink a pound of alcohol, but he was knocked out by just one glass last night. This was an absolute shame for Zhu Yuan!
Coupled with the feeling of swelling and pain in his head, Zhu Yuan was sure that he must have drunk fake wine, otherwise how could he be so miserable?
Just after Zhu Yuan opened his eyes in a trance, what he saw was an old man with a square face and a serious expression, a three-inch goatee under his chin, and a double-winged black hat on his head, which seemed to be worn by ancient officials!
Such a scene scared Zhu Yuan!
You have to know that Zhu Yuan is also a hot-blooded, high-quality human being who loves the right things. How could he have such a dream?
Zhu Yuan raised his hand and punched him, "Get out of my way, old man!"
Unfortunately, before he could raise his fist, the serious-looking old man grabbed his arm, causing his fist to stop in mid-air and be held tightly by the old man. Seeing this, Zhu Yuan panicked.
Even if it is a dream, Zhu Yuan will fight to the death to protect his innocence. Otherwise, how can he face those young ladies who are waiting for him to love and care for them?
Zhu Yuan screamed: "Let me go, old man! Otherwise I will kill you!"
But Goatee remained unmoved.
He continued to hold Zhu Yuan's small body, and then calmly instructed Meng Chong: "Go find a rope."
When Meng Chong heard Li Shizhen's instructions, he looked at it carefully again, and finally obediently found a rope.
"Tie it up."
Li Shizhen said two words concisely.
Meng Chong exclaimed, "How can this be done?"
As a result, Li Shizhen glanced at Meng Chong unhappily again. After being glanced at by Li Shizhen, Meng Chong couldn't help but shrink his head.
He had long heard that there was a fearless and stubborn imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Looking at the expression and attitude of the Imperial Physician Li in front of him, he thought that this was the person.
Meng Chong bowed to Zhu Yuan, who was screaming like a ghost, and said, "Please don't blame me, my lord. This is all for your own good."
After saying that, Meng Chong quickly tied up Zhu Yuan.
Zhu Yuan, who was tied up, struggled feebly, and finally a tear of unyieldingness flowed from the corner of his eye, sobbing: "My innocence!"
But just when Zhu Yuan thought that he was tied up and was about to be raped by the person in his dream, the people who were holding him down and tying him up actually walked away from him.
This surprised Zhu Yuan very much. He thought that as long as he woke up quickly enough, all the dangers would disappear!
So the tied Zhu Yuan kept throwing somersaults on the bed, trying to wake himself up from the dream as soon as possible.
Looking at Zhu Zaigui twisting his body on the bed and his nonsense just now, Li Shizhen couldn't help but frown.
Li Shizhen thought for a while and said to Meng Chong: "Prince Yu's condition should be due to overstimulation and he has lost his soul."
When Meng Chong heard that it was amnesia, he was completely stunned. Doesn't this mean he's crazy?
Meng Chong asked anxiously: "What should we do then?"
Li Shizhen also sighed, "In this case, we can only wait for him to recover. There is nothing I can do."
When Meng Chong heard what Li Shizhen said, the bitter expression on his face suddenly appeared again, and he said with a sad heart: "The emperor will kill our family"
Li Shizhen couldn't help but frown when he heard Meng Chong say the word "Emperor".
Although Li Shizhen was only a small imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, due to his own worldly views, he was still disgusted with the emperor's practice of Taoism. So he was very unhappy with Meng Chong's flattery and calling the emperor "Emperor".
But Li Shizhen was not really a fool. Even if he was unhappy, he would not jump out and say it. After all, the power of heaven was unpredictable. If he was not careful, his family would be destroyed!
Moreover, Li Shizhen was only an imperial physician, not an imperial censor. It might not be a good thing for him to worry too much.
Therefore, you should do your job well, finish reading all the medical books from past dynasties stored in the Imperial Medical Bureau as soon as possible, then resign and go home to study medicine, and make some contribution to benefit all living beings with your limited strength. This will be enough for your life!
