Chapter 1041 Gathering People and Reading the Imperial Edict
The moment Feng Guang saw Xiao Jingyi, he thought, "This Prince Yi... does he not have much time left?"
The eyes had dark circles, sunken eye sockets, a pale and bluish complexion, and bloodless lips...
This...this looks exactly like the face of a dying person!
Feng Guang was genuinely curious about how Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, had managed to achieve such a morbid effect.
That's right, Feng Guang was just curious, curious about how Xiao Jingyi ended up looking so dead!
As for whether Xiao Jingyi was really sick, Feng Guang didn't believe it at all!
He claimed to be visiting someone in the hospital, but Xiao Jingyi himself saw his deathly pale face and had to say something to let the matter drop.
Feng Guang turned his head to look at Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, Yin Fu, and Chang Gui standing behind him, and then looked at the middle-aged man in a gray long gown standing at the corner of the bed.
"Who is this?"
Feng Guang slightly raised his chin and pointed...
Jiang Fang glanced at Feng Guang, then at the person Feng Guang gestured to, and hurriedly bowed and stepped forward to reply, "Replying to Eunuch Feng, this is Mr. Wen Chang, the physician of our Prince Yi's residence!"
The physician, Wen Chang, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble physician greets Eunuch Feng!"
Feng Guang nodded, "Never mind!"
Mr. Wen, may I ask what sudden illness His Highness Prince Yi has contracted?
Why did the illness occur so suddenly?
Since Feng Guang asked about Xiao Jingyi's illness, how could Wen Chang, as the prefectural physician, not answer?
Wen Chang feigned composure and bowed to Feng Guang, "Reporting to Eunuch Feng, in recent days, my Prince Yi has been overworked with matters both inside and outside the manor, and was already somewhat exhausted. In addition, today... today he suffered a sudden attack of anger, which caused him to vomit blood and faint, and he has been ill ever since!"
"I've been exhausted for days, and today I'm suddenly overcome with anxiety..."
"Hearing your words, sir, the reason His Highness Prince Yi fell ill today is all because of the Emperor..."
"Eunuch Feng has misunderstood!"
That's not what I meant. Please, Eunuch Feng, investigate thoroughly!
Before Feng Guang could finish speaking, Wen Chang knelt down on the ground with a "plop".
Wen Chang was terrified!
If Feng Guang were to finish speaking, wouldn't that mean... he was the one who resented and concluded... that Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, suddenly fell ill because of the Emperor?
He wouldn't have enough heads to chop off!
That's not what I meant!
Feng Guang looked at Wen Chang and said, "Then tell me, what exactly is wrong with His Highness Prince Yi? If I find out, I can report back to the Emperor when I return to the palace!"
"Well... to answer Eunuch Feng's question, it is because I am not knowledgeable enough and my medical skills are not proficient enough to find out the cause of Prince Yi's illness for the time being."
That is why renowned doctors from all over the capital were invited, and even the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were troubled to come and treat His Highness Prince Yi!
Feng Guang nodded after hearing this, "Then... having invited so many doctors from the capital and the imperial physicians from the palace, surely a diagnosis should be made by now?"
"The cause of Prince Yi's illness... is indeed quite difficult to determine!"
Wen Chang knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "It is said that it is caused by mental illness, and also by excessive thinking, which leads to deficiency of both qi and blood."
In my opinion... His Highness Prince Yi suffers from a chronic illness caused by overwork; it has accumulated over time and finally flared up!
Upon hearing this, Feng Guang stared at Wen Chang for a long time, until Wen Chang dared not meet Feng Guang's gaze and lowered his head. Only then did Feng Guang slowly withdraw his gaze.
With a flick of his whisk, Feng Guang sighed and said, "Well, how can people not get sick when they eat grains and vegetables?"
His Highness Prince Yi is the same.
Since His Highness Prince Yi is ill, we will trouble Mr. Wen to take good care of him!
May His Highness Prince Yu recover soon, so that His Majesty will no longer have to worry about His Highness Prince Yi!
Feng Guang gestured for Wen Chang to stand up.
"Yes!
This humble doctor will obey Eunuch Feng's orders!
Wen Chang stood up, bowed deeply, and then retreated to stand at the corner of the bed.
Feng Guang glanced at Xiao Jingyi on the bed again, then turned back to Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, and Yin Fu and instructed them: "Please gather all the servants in the mansion in this courtyard!"
"Besides visiting His Highness Prince Yi today on His Majesty's orders, I have also brought an imperial edict to be read aloud in public!"
Jiang Fang glanced at Feng Guang, then at the imperial edict in Feng Guang's hand...
"May I ask, Eunuch Feng, His Highness Prince Yi is still unconscious, what about His Majesty's imperial edict...?"
Feng Guangwei raised his whisk, interrupting Jiang Fang's words.
"His Majesty issued this imperial edict because he knew that His Highness Prince Yi had suddenly fallen seriously ill."
"Once everyone in the household has gathered, I will read out the imperial edict, and then you will all understand the Emperor's good intentions!"
Feng Guang refused to reveal the details beforehand, and Jiang Fang and the others dared not press him further.
Tong Lian had a sudden thought and bowed to Feng Guang, asking, "May I ask, Eunuch Feng, you said you wanted the entire household to gather... including the Imperial Concubine who is in the small Buddhist hall eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers?"
Feng Guangwei said to Tong Lian in a low voice, "Sir, that's a very strange question!"
The Empress Dowager is confined to the small Buddhist hall... That was the late Emperor's decree, and even the current Emperor dares not change it at will!
The question you asked is...
"Please forgive me, Eunuch Feng! I spoke without thinking and offended you!"
"That's it!
We're not the type to take things too seriously!
"I'd appreciate it if you could gather everyone in the household first. After I read out the imperial edict, I need to rush back to the palace to report!"
"Yes, yes! Please wait a moment, Eunuch Feng!"
Jiang Fang and the others dared not say another word. They left the physician by the bedside to attend to the patient, apologized to Feng, and then all left the study.
Actually, only one person needs to go out and relay the message; why do they all need to run out and call for help?
However, staying here with Feng Guang makes me uneasy. It would be good to leave for a while and catch my breath!
