Chapter 199 Fainting
"Well done, well done!"
Xiang Zhengle's eyebrows danced with joy, and his confidant standing on the side echoed, "If the Crown Princess drives out the envoys from Zhao State, our people will be able to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with good reason.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would definitely not take this impeachment seriously.
But things are different now.”
Xiang Zheng's face was full of joy. He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth for two steps.
"Yes, the Third Prince has already spread the news that he is attracted to Miss Dou from Zhao State, but the Crown Princess is still chasing her away. Others, not knowing the truth, will only think that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are unwilling to allow the Third Prince to marry.
Even if the Crown Princess was willing to save face and explain the matter of Jiang Hui, who would believe it?
He was the one who harmed the Crown Princess. Who would believe that such a person would be sent by the Emperor of Zhao Kingdom? "
The confidant laughed and said, “Our old prince is indeed very wise, but just one simple move is enough to overwhelm the Emperor of Zhao.
Compared to the current emperor, the old prince is many times more powerful."
His smile gradually became sinister, and finally disappeared. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity that the previous emperor was unfair and passed the throne to him."
Xiang Zheng sneered, "It was because of his viciousness and cunningness that the old prince suffered a great loss. However, things change over time, and sooner or later his position will belong to our old prince."
As he said this, Xiang Zheng patted his confidant on the shoulder and said, "When the time comes, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service as a follower of the dragon, and you will no longer have to follow me."
The attendant immediately clasped his fists and said, "I just want to follow you, my lord. You eat meat and I drink soup. That's enough. My teeth can't bear meat."
Xiang Zheng suddenly burst into laughter.
"When the dog emperor charged General Su with treason, he cut off all his support. Without the Su family army, he would be the old prince's prisoner sooner or later. The old prince is wise."
At this moment, Marquis Rong'an also laughed out loud.
He had been ill for several days and could not attend court. Although he was ready to fight back against Rong Que, the house was filled with the smell of medicine these days, and he himself was indeed lacking in strength to go out. The irritable Marquis Rong'an smashed things in the house every day.
When such good news suddenly came, how could he not laugh out loud?
The prince of Rong'an Marquis accompanied him, smiling for the first time in the past few days, "Dad, the Crown Princess is not giving face to the envoy of Zhao State. It is obvious that she does not want the Third Prince to marry into Zhao State. The Third Prince will definitely fight back. It will be even easier for us to take advantage of this favorable situation."
Rong An Hou slammed the table and said, "That's right. I originally thought we should wait until the twenty-third New Year's Eve, but now it seems that tomorrow night is a good opportunity. You should prepare well and make sure there are no mistakes."
The prince of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I will make all the arrangements. By the way, Dad, the shopkeepers from various places have sent their account books one after another in the past few days. I have almost registered them and made a fake account. Dad, please take a look."
Rong Anhou was not in high spirits, so he waved his hands and said, "Just do it. Sooner or later, the affairs of this shop will be handed over to you. Even if this incident hadn't happened this year, I had planned to hand it over to you next year. Just treat this year as an experience."
The prince stood up and clasped his fists, "My son is really uneasy, so let me take a look. If it's okay, I can give this account book to the prince.
My son thought that it would be best to give it to the Crown Prince before the palace banquet tomorrow night. That way, even if something happens that night, we can get away with it cleanly. "
Rong An Hou sighed and said, "Okay, have someone bring it over."
The fur shop has branches in almost all parts of the country, and the summarized account book is really thick, with one real account and one fake account. Marquis Rong'an had read about one-third of it by night.
The room was brightly lit. When Zhao came in with the medicine, she said cautiously, "My Lord, you must take care of your health. It's dim at night and it hurts your eyes if you look at it for too long."
She put the medicine bowl down, took out two candles from the drawer beside her, lit them and placed them on the candlestick, and at the same time adjusted the wick of the candle next to it.
Even though Marquis Rong'an was unwilling to admit that he was sick, the fact was that he felt weak, so no matter how reluctant he was, he picked up the medicine and drank it.
He put down the medicine bowl, picked up the candied fruit beside him and put it in his mouth, and said with a rather unhappy look: "Why did you bring it today?"
Zhao shook her head timidly, "I don't know either. No one went to get the medicine today. The medicine was boiled, and I was afraid it would get cold and lose its efficacy, so I brought it over myself."
Rong Anhou was stunned, turned around and shouted loudly, "Someone come here."
The servant guarding outside came in immediately, and Rong Anhou asked, "Where is Zhao Er?"
Zhao Er is the person who goes to get medicine every day.
The servant hurriedly reported back, "The prince had something important to discuss with him, and he sent him away an incense stick ago."
Marquis Rong'an waved his hand and asked the servant to leave, and also drove Zhao away .
As much as he doted on Zhao in the past, he dislikes her now.
Whenever he saw Zhao, Marquis Rong'an would think of the day when he lost all his face.
After drinking the medicine, Marquis Rong'an took a short rest and then picked up the account book to look at it. The fake account was well done, but there were still several obvious problems, which Marquis Rong'an marked out one by one.
I don't know how long I read, the room was always quiet, with only the occasional sound of pages turning. But as the night deepened, even the sound of turning pages seemed to disappear.
The servant guarding outside felt that something was not right and hesitated for several seconds. However, as the marquis usually did not like to be disturbed when reading, he did not ask. But after about an hour, there was no sound from inside asking for water or any other movement, and the servant became more and more uneasy.
"My Lord?"
The servant couldn't help himself at last and asked hesitantly.
However, there was no response from the house.
The servant was anxious, and raised his voice again, "My Lord?"
There was still total silence inside.
The servant was panicked and pushed the door open and rushed in.
Marquis Rong'an was lying on the table as if he was asleep, not moving at all. The servant strode over to him and put his finger in front of Marquis Rong'an's nose with shaking hands.
Feeling a faint breath, the servant heaved a sigh of relief and ran out, "Oh no, the Marquis has fainted, someone come!"
A scream broke the quiet night sky of Rong'an Marquis Mansion, and masters from all over the mansion rushed over upon hearing the news.
The doctor in the palace took the pulse with a serious expression. After a moment, he said in surprise, "My Lord, this illness requires you to be careful not to use your mind and brain, and to waste your blood. Why didn't you remember that?
Due to excessive thinking, he suffered from heart arrhythmia and insufficient blood supply and fainted.
Fortunately, the disease was discovered in time this time. If it had been later, the doctor would have been helpless.
I prescribed a prescription for you to take to recuperate. Medication is just a supplement. The main thing is to rest and not worry. "
Rong Anhou was still unconscious. Rong San stood by with a sad face. He turned his head and glared at the others in the room angrily, "What did any of you do to make father so anxious?"
On the surface, the Crown Prince and Marquis Rong'an are not close.
Even though the prince was so anxious that his mouth was covered with bubbles, he could only snort in front of these people, "You are the only one who can make father anxious. Apart from you, who else has father cared about us? He may not even know if we die."
Rong San's eyes turned red with anger. "Brother, father is still unconscious. What are you talking about?"
The prince said with a cold face, "What are you talking about? What did you say? Why did my father fall into a coma today when he usually doesn't fall into a coma?
Have you never thought that it’s because of your marriage with the Third Prince?
You only know how to blame us. Haha, our Rong'an Marquis Mansion actually has a female prince."
