Chapter 167 Liu Bowen is seriously ill
Chapter 167 Liu Bowen is seriously ill
The feud between the two was already well known in the court.
Even the Jinyiwei under Ye Xuan were quite aware of this. Wang Feihu even laughed sinisterly and said, "What do you think His Majesty is thinking? He actually asked Prime Minister Hu to bring the imperial physician to visit Lord Liu. Does His Majesty really want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xuan interrupted him and said, "The mouth can cause trouble. Some things are beyond the reach of us, the little Jinyiwei, to speculate."
Wang Feihu sobered up immediately after hearing this. He smiled awkwardly and thanked Ye Xuan, "Thank you for your advice, otherwise I would have been in an irreparable situation!"
"You and I are brothers, why are you talking like this?" He raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink!"
The banquet was a great occasion for both the guests and the hosts, but Ye Xuan still felt a little sad when it came to paying the bill.
This feast of wine cost him more than one hundred taels of silver. If it weren't for the recent rewards, this feast would have been enough to make Ye Xuan bankrupt.
This was because the shopkeeper, intimidated by the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, gave a discount, otherwise the number would have been much higher.
After returning to the Ye Mansion, the girls were all pleasantly surprised and asked each other about their well-being.
Ye Xuan, who had just fought several battles with Yun Fang in Beishan Royal Manor, was pulled by Nian Wei to discuss knowledge for a whole night as soon as he returned to the room.
The next day, Ye Xuan returned to the palace to work as usual.
Just as he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he ran into Yun Qi who was riding a horse.
Yun Qi smiled as soon as he saw Ye Xuan, "Oh, what a coincidence!"
Yun Qi got off his horse, walked forward and pulled Ye Xuan, saying, "The emperor was just asking us to go to Beishan Royal Manor to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself, which saved us the bumpy journey."
As Yun Qi spoke, he pulled Ye Xuan towards the Fengtian Hall.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Yun, I wonder if His Majesty is looking for me so urgently, is there something important that he wants to tell me?"
Yun Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "When did you return to Beijing? Did the living room hear about Lord Liu resigning and returning home?"
Ye Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he still nodded and said, "I heard about it, and I also heard that His Majesty asked Prime Minister Hu to bring the imperial physician to Qingtian to treat Lord Liu's illness."
"That's right, but for some reason, His Majesty regretted it today after Prime Minister Hu left yesterday." Yun Qi whispered, "He also said that it would be better if Lord Ye were here. You once cured the Crown Prince's back carbuncle and are well versed in medicine. The key is that if you go with us, we will have a better chance of curing Lord Liu."
At this point, Yun Qi immediately smiled and bowed to Ye Xuan, "Lord Ye, you see how much the emperor values you. It is such a serious matter that the Earl of Chengyi is seriously ill, but His Majesty thought of you the first time!"
"In my opinion, His Majesty is in a hurry to summon you this time because of this matter!"
Ye Xuan nodded and exchanged a few polite words with Yun Qi, but he did not feel the slightest bit of joy in being valued by the emperor.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really sent him to Qingtian, then Ye Xuan really didn’t know what to do.
No matter what he does at that time, he will be caught in an extremely huge vortex and be crushed to pieces.
So things are back to the starting point, how did Liu Bowen die?
The cause of Liu Bowen’s death is related to the attitude that Ye Xuan should take in this matter.
If it was really Zhu Yuanzhang who hinted at Hu Weiyong to take action, then why did Zhu Yuanzhang look for me? It couldn't be to assist Hu Weiyong, right?
If this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang and was done by Hu Weiyong alone, then it is worth pondering why Zhu Yuanzhang came to him.
This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang had discovered Hu Weiyong's intention, and regretted sending Hu Weiyong out of carelessness, and wanted to stop Hu Weiyong.
The last possibility is that Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that Hu Weiyong would attack Liu Bowen, but in fact Hu Weiyong did not poison Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen died simply because of old age and frailty.
No matter what the possibility is, it will lead to Ye Xuan being imprisoned because of making the wrong choice. "Alas, why did the great gods drag me into the fight?" Ye Xuan sighed in his heart.
Soon, the two arrived at the Fengtian Hall.
After performing the formal formalities, Ye Xuan stood with his hands hanging down.
On the imperial desk, Zhu Yuanzhang first praised Ye Xuan and said that he had worked hard.
Then his face became serious and he said, "I plan to send you to Qingtian."
Although Ye Xuan felt bitter, he had expected it, so there was nothing to be shocked about.
Seeing Ye Xuan's calm face, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yun Qi and understood.
Then he said, "Your main mission when you go to Qingtian this time is to find out what disease Marquis Chengyi has. Since you cured the crown prince before, I think you have some medical accomplishments. If possible, try your best to cure Marquis Chengyi."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately understood that Zhu Yuanzhang did not want anything to happen to Liu Bowen, the Marquis of Chengyi.
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang was not as heartless as some people speculated.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that Liu Bowen had already resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown, and was quite famous among the civil and military officials in the court.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet lost his beloved son, Zhu Xiongying was still alive and well, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to go on a killing spree to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen.
Thinking of this, even though Ye Xuan was reluctant, he immediately accepted the order.
Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped Ye Xuan and said, "If Hu Weiyong... stops him, come back and report to me."
"Accept the decree!"
Once he left the imperial city, Ye Xuan immediately understood.
It turns out that Liu Bowen's death was not instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so things become much simpler.
Either Hu Weiyong was the one who did it, or Liu Bowen's fate had come to an end.
Ye Xuan only needs to keep a close eye on Hu Weiyong and find out what disease Liu Bowen has.
If possible, Ye Xuan didn't want to watch such a great man die like that.
After returning to the Ye Mansion, Ye Xuan packed some luggage and said goodbye to the girls.
Everyone was a little dissatisfied. They had just returned for less than a day and had to leave again, and this time they were going to Zhejiang.
Fortunately, even though the girls were unwilling, they did not insist.
He reminded Ye Xuan to be careful and take good care of himself along the way.
Soon, Ye Xuan returned to the Zhenfu Division.
After finding Wang Feihu and Song Zhenshan and telling them that I was going to Zhejiang, they were both quite surprised.
I didn't expect that just yesterday when I mentioned Liu Bowen's serious illness at the Yun Hotel, today my boss Ye Xuan was sent to Zhejiang by the emperor himself.
The emperor refreshed his understanding of the extent to which Ye Xuan was valued, but he then expressed concern about Ye Xuan's trip.
After all, the water here is too deep.
