On the couch, Xiao Daqi was burning in a daze and was talking, but the princess who served the side could not hear clearly what Xiao Daqi was saying.

Seeing that Xiao Daqi's high fever has continued to go on since last night, and he has not said a single word yet, the Crown Princess was anxious, but she didn't know what to do.

It is September 12th. On the night of Double Ninth Festival, Xiao Daqi was scratched by a few strange monkeys. He started to have a fever the next day, and his forehead became hotter and hotter.

Last night, I gradually became unconscious. According to the imperial physician Yao Sengyuan, the wound that was caught by a monkey that day was red, swollen, and suppurated, causing "toxic gas to attack the heart".

In the past three days, Yao Sengyuan has been by Xiao Daqi's side and has thought of many ways to deal with the wound. It will be useless to reduce the fever.

At this moment, Xiao Daqi's face was flushed and his forehead was hot. The Crown Princess felt uncomfortable when she saw it.

Tears were flowing in her eyes and would flow out all the time.

My son is young, and once Xiao Daqi has a short time, he may not be able to sit in that position.

Even if you sit down, the country is suspicious and the risk is very high.

Who is the young emperor? Are you young and strong uncles? Are you old vassal kings?

The Crown Princess didn't dare to think about it, and just hoped that Xiao Daqi could reduce the fever and heal it.

Xiao Daqi is safe and everything is easy to say. If something happens, something big will happen.

Outside the hall, several ministers who came hurriedly saw Yao Sengyuan staring blankly at the hall gate, rushed forward to ask and sent him to leave.

"Your Highness's fever will not go away, and the lower officials are not good at medical skills, so they can't do anything."

Yao Sengyuan looked solemn. He did not admit defeat easily, but the prince's condition worsened and he used all the ways he could think of. He was really helpless.

Wang Bao and others heard Yao Sengyuan say this and felt a chill on their backs: I can do nothing? What should I do?

Yao Sengyuan has excellent medical skills and says "powerless" that means...

Wang Bao asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yao, I don't know, can Your Highness still wake up?"

Yao Sengyuan shook his head: "It's hard to say that your high fever will not subside, and you can't get in. It's hard, it's hard..."

"Mr. Yao! Please wake up your highness. It is related to the country and the country. Now it is all under the hands of Mr. Yao!"

"The officials must do their best, but..." Yao Sengyuan looked at several important officials, "But your highness may not be too long, so please make arrangements early."

The miracle doctor said so, I think it's really...

Wang Bao and others looked at each other and soon realized that a storm was coming.

Because someone said that on the night of September 9, there was an abnormal movement in the Nanjun Prince's Mansion in Jiankang City: monkeys appeared in the royal palace.

There were more than one person who came out of the head, and he was confidential. A person immediately secretly visited nearby residents and learned that there were indeed dark shadows near the palace that night, and he was agile.

It seems that it cannot be a human, it is more like a monkey.

The Crown Prince Xiao Daqi was scratched by a strange monkey that suddenly appeared, which caused the high fever to not subside.

If the crown prince had an accident, because the eldest son was young, it was very likely that the throne would end up with the brothers. Then the beneficiary would naturally be the crown prince and his mother's brother, Xiao Dalian, the prince of Nanjun.

Now, all signs indicate that the Nanjun Prince's Mansion has some connection with the strange monkey. Then, even if Xiao Dalian is now far away in Jingzhou, it is inevitable to be suspected.

If the court and the outside world believe that Xiao Dalian is suspected of killing his father and harming his brother, and is the culprit of his great rebellion, then even if the brother is finally in the end, it will not be Xiao Dalian's turn to "get it".

However, "there were monkeys appearing at night in the Nanjun Prince's Mansion" just said, without physical evidence.

Maybe someone else framed it?

If Xiao Dalian cannot get married, then the next thing will be the eldest son of the concubine and the second prince Xiao Daxin!

It is conceivable that whether it is Xiao Dalian, the King of Nan County, Xiao Daxin, the King of Xunyang, and other princes, there will be a fierce confrontation around the throne.

At that time, those royal families may not stand by and watch. They will either fan the flames or catch fish in troubled waters.

What should I do if the situation gets out of control?

......

At night, Hanshan, official residence, dormitory, Li Shi was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his forehead was covered with an ice bag, and his clothes were open.

Li Li sat beside the bed, constantly wiping his son's neck and armpits.

It is a good way to cool down physically for children with fever. However, you should not use cold water, nor ice water, but warm water.

This is what he knows, however, only for body temperatures not exceeding thirty-eight degrees and five degrees.

Once the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees and 5 degrees, you have to take antipyretics, otherwise the consequences of continuous high fever are very serious. Even if you don’t die, your brain will have problems.

For children, the consequence of a high fever is death.

However, there are no antipyretics in this era, and there are no antibiotics. The efficacy of decoctions is not very good. Once you get sick and have a fever, it mainly depends on the patient to bear it.

On the side, Zhao Mengniang, who was full of anxiety, looked at her son, feeling uneasy. Although there was a doctor next to her, she now subconsciously thought that only Li Li could rely on.

My son had a fever due to cold and had a fever, and his forehead became hotter and hotter since last night.

Li Li kept guarding the side, constantly wiping Li Qi's body. Until now, it was already early in the morning.

"I've sweated, I've sweated." The doctor whispered. Zhao Mengniang and Li Li looked carefully and sure enough, Li Qi began to sweat.

Sweating means that the condition improves, because under normal circumstances, people with fever will gradually fade after sweating.

Li Li was sweating more and more. Zhao Mengniang wanted to take Li Li for her to wipe her sweat and change her clothes, but Li Li insisted on doing it himself.

After changing a few sweat towels and changing clothes, Li Qi slowly opened his eyes, saw clearly the person in front of him, and shouted: "Aye."

"Aye is here, don't be afraid." Li Li said softly, laughing: "How, did Erlang have a dream?"

Li Shi nodded: "Well! I just can't remember what I dreamed of."

Li Li signaled Zhao Mengniang to bring a bowl of water and sat up with her son: "Drink water first, drink more water so that the disease can be cured quickly."

He personally fed his son water, and only asked Zhao Mengniang to "change the duty" after his son finished drinking.

Li Shi had already subsided his fever, so he could hand it over to the doctor. Li Li sat aside, watching his son recover and looking at Zhao Mengniang's relieved look, but he was filled with mixed feelings.

My son's fever has subsided, which is a good thing, but what about the crown prince?

Li Li looked at the swaying candlelight and fell into deep thought.

As of last night, he received two messages:

First, on the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor was assassinated.

Second, on the night of Double Ninth Festival, an assassin attacked the crown prince while he was vigilant. The crown prince was slightly injured and later had a fever. The high fever did not subside from the third day.

This is the news he received on the surface, which is actually the "old news" of Jiankang a few days ago. What is the situation of the crown prince at this moment? The news will take several days to reach Xuzhou.

In Xuzhou, because the emperor passed away, the government office was covered with mourning clothes, and Li Li also wore mourning clothes and went to Jiankang with the civil and military officials who were dressed in the same dress.

The process that should be left was gone. Li Li stopped the music, singing and dancing in the mansion, and he was not close to women. He wore a white hat and was covered in plain white.

This is not only for others to see, but also in his original intention: there was no big mistake during the emperor's rule, but he was assassinated and died. As a minister, he must be silent.

After all, he had nothing to do with the assassination of the emperor.

The crown prince is sick and has a high fever that will not subside. If an accident occurs, the consequences will be very serious.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that there will be troubles in the future about who will sit on the throne.

Li Li did not expect that the situation would be like this.

Previously, he had inquired about some disturbances in Jiankang City, and through various efforts, he found that there was an undercurrent.

For example, someone secretly bought ring lock armor with a bad intention.

For example, the new love of the Princess of Xiangdong may be problematic.

After careful observation for more than half a year, and based on the information collected at hand, Li Li judged that something would happen this year on Double Ninth Festival: Someone wanted to assassinate the emperor and do a traitor.

So Li Li had two choices: First, he would stand by and watch based on his interests. After the emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, he would not leave his position as governor of Xuzhou at least in the short term.

Second, based on conscience, prevent assassination from happening or make it fail.

Li Li felt that his heart was not dark enough, so he asked his subordinates who were in Jiankang to inform the emperor before the Double Ninth Festival, reminding the emperor to take precautions.

Therefore, the rebels were pulled out, and the emperor would come to a great purge and clean up those smoky royal families. This was the result that Li Li wanted to see.

That's why he told Huang Yan that the Double Ninth Festival will be very lively.

As a result, the emperor was on guard and captured several assassins who had smuggled into Leyouyuan. However, no one expected that an assassin would pretend to be the princess of Xiangdong and successfully carried out the assassin.

The emperor was assassinated and Li Li received the news, just like everyone else, could not believe that this was true.

The crown prince was injured that night and later developed a fever and had a high fever. In this era without antipyretics and antibiotics, whether it can survive depends entirely on God's will.

Li Li judged that this may be a wound infection, which is common during wars, so the crown prince is highly likely to die soon.

His legitimate son was young and if he ascended the throne, he would inevitably be "the kingdom was suspicious" and could not suppress a group of adult emperors and royal vassal kings.

According to the "alternative plan" of the brother and brother, Xiao Daqi's brother-in-law, Xiao Dalian, should ascend the throne, but this person is suspected of sending an assassin to assassinate his legitimate brother.

In this way, the princes, royal families and various forces will fight to the death, and the political environment of Jiankang will "heat up".

The struggle around supreme power has been cruel and bloody since ancient times. Once the fight is out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Maybe it's over.

This is Li Li's judgment. The more he mixes the water, the better he will be to fish in troubled waters, but he doesn't feel confident that he can touch the big fish, because he might be able to touch a highly toxic water snake.

He had ears and ears in Jiankang. He sorted out a series of things that happened on the Double Ninth Festival into information and sent them to Xuzhou. Li Li thought about it carefully for a few days and found that what happened in Jiankang City that day was a bit strange.

He believed that the "participating team" that took action that day, in addition to the assassination of the thief gang, the emperor who was strictly guarding against it, and a small role like him who "played assists", also had a "team" that participated in the confrontation that day.

One of the reasons for such a judgment is the several troops who were mobilized by the forged transfer order that day.

These troops could not have been mobilized by the traitor, nor were they mobilized by the emperor. Li Li's men did not have the ability to forge the transfer order to mobilize troops.

Therefore, it is the tampering of another force.

This force is going to ruin the good things of the traitor. It is unknown whether this move is for the emperor or for their ulterior motives.

But what Li Li is most concerned about is not the motivation of this force, but his ability.

It is easy to avoid open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. If one day he is regarded as a thorn in his eyes by these people, will he be assassinated one day and die on the spot?
