Chapter 1039 Chattering Birds and Swallows
Feng Guang arrived at the gate of Prince Yi's mansion with the imperial edict.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw two doctors carrying medicine boxes walking hurriedly out of the mansion gate with anxious expressions.
Feng Guang watched coldly, thinking to himself: This Prince Yi's mansion... really has hired quite a few doctors!
A prince, a nephew of the emperor, fell ill. Instead of inviting the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, the emperor first asked doctors from local clinics to come to the prince's residence to treat him. Was this for the purpose of treating the illness, or to create public opinion and generate momentum?
This was to let everyone in the capital know that after the Emperor issued an imperial decree ordering Prince Yi to collect the bodies of the former Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan's family, this Prince Yi... fell ill!
The Prince Yi's actions are aimed at smearing the current emperor for deliberately making things difficult for his nephew, while also trying to get rid of the troublesome matter of collecting the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family!
Hmm, this Prince Yi's idea is quite good!
However, the reality is, can you really control the current emperor however you want?
The Emperor has made up his mind!
The task of collecting the remains of the Second Grand Secretary Zhang Jinyan and his family is none other than that of your Prince Yi's Mansion!
Your Prince Yi is ill, so ill that he is unconscious. The matter of collecting his body must be handled by your Prince Yi's residence.
The money should come from your Prince Yi's mansion!
We want your Prince Yi's Mansion to collect the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family, and we want you to do it for everyone to see!
When the guards and servants at the gate of Prince Yi’s mansion saw the palace carriage stop at the gate and then saw that the person was Feng Guang, they were startled!
They all knew Feng Guang, and they knew that Feng Guang was one of the two most trusted eunuchs by the emperor's side!
Moreover, Feng Guang was also holding a scroll of imperial edict in his hand.
Who would dare to stop Feng Guang and his men who came with the imperial edict?
Should we go inside and report this immediately?
The prince is currently unconscious, and they just wanted to rush in and inform their master... but they couldn't find their master!
As for being negligent, we dare not do so!
This guy is incredibly powerful!
The group dared not think too much about it; the right thing to do was to step forward and pay their respects.
So the guards and servants standing outside the gate quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"This humble servant greets Eunuch Feng!"
"This humble servant greets Eunuch Feng!"
"..."
Feng Guang merely glanced at them, offering neither a smile nor displaying arrogance, and simply asked indifferently, "I heard that His Highness Prince Yi has suddenly fallen ill?"
"Yes! My lord is ill, and his illness came on suddenly and is quite serious!"
"We've consulted numerous doctors, but the Prince's condition shows no improvement. There's no one in charge in the manor; everything's in chaos!"
A servant stepped forward, bowed, and replied.
"I see!"
But...we came with the Emperor's decree, but we don't know...whether we can enter the gates of Prince Yi's residence.
Feng Guang's words startled the guards and servants at the gate, sending chills down their spines!
Can I go in?
Of course you can!
Who dares to stop us!
This isn't about whether Feng Guang, a mere eunuch, can enter Prince Yi's residence; it's about whether the imperial edict in Feng Guang's possession can enter Prince Yi's residence!
The fact that the Emperor's decree was blocked outside the gates of Prince Yi's residence shows that Prince Yi's residence does not respect the current Emperor!
This behavior is tantamount to rebellion!
So the men at the door bowed and invited Feng Guang into the Prince Yi's residence.
Feng Guangren has been invited into the mansion, but... since the prince is unconscious, who should receive this eunuch who delivered the imperial decree?
Who can receive this imperial edict from the Emperor?
The servant leading the way was in a dilemma when he looked up and saw Yin Fu, the steward of Prince Yi's mansion, escorting a royal physician out. The two happened to walk towards each other.
Feng Guang knew Yin Fu, the steward of Prince Yi's mansion, and the imperial physician beside him.
Yin Fu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "This humble servant was unaware of Eunuch Feng's arrival and has failed to greet you properly. I hope you will forgive me!"
"You flatter me, Master Butler!"
Feng Guang flicked his whisk and said, "It is my presumption to come, please forgive me, Steward!"
"How dare you!"
Yin Fu bowed repeatedly to apologize, handed over the task of seeing the imperial physician out to the servant, and led Feng Guang into the mansion himself.
Yin Fu wanted to lead Feng Guang to the front hall, but Feng Guang stopped and said, "Knowing that your prince has suddenly fallen ill, His Majesty, as Prince Yi's uncle, is very concerned!"
His Majesty has specially ordered me to personally visit Prince Yi at his bedside to express his concern.
Please lead me to His Highness Prince Yi's sickbed!
"Our household has visited your prince, and we even have to read out an imperial edict!"
Upon hearing that the Emperor had issued another imperial edict to Prince Yi's residence, Yin Fu asked in surprise, "Eunuch Feng, my lord is currently unconscious. How is my lord supposed to receive this imperial edict?"
"This imperial edict is not for your seriously ill prince!"
In short... it's a good thing!
You should take me to visit your prince first, and then I will read out this imperial edict.
"Visit the sick first, then deliver the imperial decree—this is the Emperor's own word!"
Since it is the Emperor's oral decree... an oral decree is equivalent to an imperial edict, who would dare disobey it?
Helpless, Yin Fu had no choice but to lead Feng Guang to the courtyard where the study was located.
Even from a distance, I could hear a cacophony of chatter and see a flock of beautiful women.
