The next day, Emperor Ming Yuan would bring Eunuch Mu Ru and Concubine Hu for a private visit incognito.
Before setting off, Concubine Hu had already asked the people in the palace to prepare breakfast, which was very sumptuous. She put on the clothes of ordinary people, and her belly was not yet pregnant, showing a bit of coquettishness, as if she had just entered the palace.
appearance.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the joy in her eyes and laughed. The clothes he wore today were prepared by Eunuch Mu Ru. They were cotton clothes commonly worn by ordinary people. Because of the cold weather, a pair of black clothes were specially prepared for him.
The solid cotton shoes took away the imperial aura, and he looked just like an ordinary man.
Emperor Ming Yuan didn't like his outfit very much, but he found it interesting. After breakfast, he turned around in front of the bronze mirror a few times and put his hands into his sleeve pockets, like a middle-aged businessman walking down the street.
Eunuch Mu Ru was wearing coarse clothes and a pair of torn cotton shoes on his feet, exposing the socks inside. His hair was a little loose and his trousers were still stained with mud. He looked like he had come back from the fields.
Since it was a private visit incognito, there was naturally no honor guard following him, not even the Imperial Guards. Eunuch Mu Ru was very skilled in martial arts and could handle it as long as there were no emergencies.
However, because Gu Si knew about this, he arranged for a few people to change their costumes and follow him to prevent any accidents.
They left the palace along the west side door and arrived at Qingluan Street. Emperor Ming Yuan took a deep breath, feeling indescribably happy and said to Concubine Hu: "I haven't been as free as I am now for a long time."
Concubine Hu smiled and said: "My lord, you can't call yourself this way anymore, otherwise, this private visit incognito will be meaningless."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "I'm used to it, and I can't help it even if I'm afraid. What should I call myself?"
"Old man? Old man?" Eunuch Mu Ru joked beside him. He was obviously in a good mood, so he didn't tease her in a big or small way.
Emperor Ming Yuan glared at him, "I'll chop off your head when I get back."
"My slave is guilty!" Eunuch Mu Rugu suddenly felt his head tightening and he hurriedly lowered his head to confess.
Qingluan Street is one of the most prosperous streets in the capital, with a dazzling array of jewelry stores, antique shops, rouge shops, and perfume shops. The business of several taverns and tea shops is also very good.
There is only one medical clinic on Qingluan Street, Baoyuantang.
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced inside and said with a smile: "This Baoyuan Hall is Huiping's medical center. I...I know."
Concubine Hu took a look and said, "This courtyard is deserted, and there don't seem to be many patients."
Emperor Ming Yuan hummed and said calmly: "Isn't it because the Crown Princess is vindictive with her? All the patients have gone to the hospital she opened, what a joke!"
Concubine Hu and Eunuch Mu Ru didn't say anything, but they looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
As he walked forward, looking at the dazzling array of goods and feeling the prosperity of the capital, Emperor Ming Yuan still felt quite happy.
After walking through Qingluan Street for about half an hour, Emperor Ming Yuan felt some cramping in his abdomen. It was mild at first and he could bear it, but after walking for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Endured it.
"Master, why are you looking so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Concubine Hu supported him and asked with concern.
Emperor Ming Yuan covered his stomach and felt that the cramping pain was becoming more and more obvious. "Abdominal pain, maybe I ate too much for breakfast today."
Eunuch Mu Ru asked anxiously: "Abdominal pain? What should I do? Should I go back to the palace and see the imperial doctor?"
Concubine Hu raised her head and looked around, and said: "Master has abdominal pain now. Where can I go back home? There is a Baoyuan Hall in front of me. Please help me go in and take a look. First, take some medicine to relieve the pain."
The two of them helped Emperor Ming Yuan walk forward for about ten steps and arrived at Baoyuan Hall. The medicine boy came up and asked, "What's wrong?"
