The next day, Luo Lianyi entered the palace under the escort of Sima Xiangnan. Sima Xiangnan went to court, and Luo Lianyi went to Shang Pharmacy under the protection of several guards.
Coming out of a corner door, she and Eunuch Tong bumped into each other. The two looked at each other. Luo Lianyi pretended not to recognize him, smiled slightly and clasped her fists at him as a greeting. Eunuch Tong looked at her coldly, returned the greeting, and whisked her whisk away.
Sweep away and take the young eunuch with you.
Luo Lianyi entered Shang Pharmacy. Dr. Zuo arrived earlier than her and had prepared various medicinal ingredients. Luo Lianyi walked over, inspected them one by one, and ordered someone to boil the medicine.
With nothing to do, she checked all the medicinal materials in Shang Yao Bureau, picked up a medical book, found a place to sit down and looked at it carefully. She didn't know how long it took, but a palace maid came over to report that the medicine was ready.
After trying the medicine according to the procedure, she followed the eunuch who delivered the medicine to Ruoxi Palace. At this moment, the emperor had just come down from the court and was supported by Concubine Xue Shu. He looked tired because of a long illness.
"See Your Majesty, Concubine Shu." Luo Lianyi knelt down to worship and was supported by Liu Hongjing. When Liu Hongjing accidentally grabbed her soft little hand, he was slightly stunned and glanced at her. Fortunately, Luo Lianyi wore
Wearing a mask, even though he was a little embarrassed at this moment, he couldn't tell.
"Feng Yu's hands are probably not as soft as those of ordinary girls." Liu Hongjing let go of his hands and said with a smile to himself. Concubine Xue Shu looked on and couldn't help but take a closer look at Luo Lianyi.
Luo Lianyi hid her hands behind her back and smiled, thinking that if the human skin mask given by Xiaozhu hadn't covered her ears, the pierced ears would have betrayed the fact that she was a girl.
After the emperor lay down, Luo Lianyi went over and sat on the small table beside the bed, stretched out her hand to feel his pulse. When her thin white fingers touched his wrist, his eyes fell on her hand again.
Above. Luo Lianyi couldn't help but complain secretly. Yesterday he was still very ill and didn't notice her hands. Today he is much better and seems to be focusing on her hands.
"The emperor's pulse is stable today and there is no serious problem. All he needs to do is take some more medicine for conditioning." Luo Lianyi took her hand back. Concubine Xue Shu patted her chest with a smile and said, "Amitabha, the emperor has recovered from his illness. My concubine's heart has finally recovered."
Back to where we were.”
"Fengyu, do I still need acupuncture?" Liu Hongjing asked.
"Let's strengthen it again today." Luo Lianyi took out the needle. Concubine Xue Shu sat on the edge of the bed and lifted up Liu Hongjing's clothes. Luo Lianyi stretched out her fingers and skillfully pressed on his body to find acupuncture points. Liu Hongjing's face
Showing a very pleasant smile. After pricking the needle, Luo Lianyi stepped aside and stood.
"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is the death anniversary of Concubine Xi, how do you plan to arrange it?" Concubine Xue Shu gently pressed Liu Hongjing's arm and asked.
Liu Hongjing looked at the portrait hanging on the wall and said, "I want to go to the Taoist temple."
"Can your body survive the trip?" Xue Shufei looked at him with concern.
"Haha, Fengyu will accompany you then." Liu Hongjing looked at Luo Lianyi gently.
"Well, it should be fine." Luo Lianyi nodded.
Concubine Xue Shu glanced at the emperor, her mouth moved, but she stopped talking.
"Concubine Shu, do you want to ask the prince?" Liu Hongjing frowned and his face darkened.
Concubine Xue Shu lowered her head and replied softly: "Yes."
Luo Lianyi heard them talking about the prince and hurriedly pricked up her ears to listen.
"I won't let Princess Dongling out of prison until I find her!" Liu Hongjing said in an angry tone.
Concubine Xue Shu looked at the portrait of Concubine Xi and said, "But the prince pays homage to his mother and concubine every year on this day. If sister Xi'er can't see the prince, will she miss him?"
Liu Hongjing looked at the portrait and was speechless for a moment.
While they were silent, Eunuch Sheng hurriedly ran in from outside, knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good. His Highness the Crown Prince is suddenly ill. He suddenly fainted and is unconscious."
"What? How could this happen?" Liu Hongjing was shocked, and Concubine Xue Shu helped him sit up.
"I just heard from the jailer who came to report that Your Highness has not eaten or drank these days. He ate something this morning and felt uncomfortable for a while, and then he vomited and fainted," Eunuch Sheng said.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Lianyi heard that Liu Fan was ill. She was extremely anxious but did not dare to show it. She looked at the emperor, hoping that he would ask her to see the prince.
"Fengyu, please follow Eunuch Sheng over there and take a look." Liu Hongjing heard Luo Lianyi calling him and quickly gave instructions. Although he hated his son, after all, father and son were connected, and the anxious and concerned look on his face was already evident in his words.
"Yes!" Luo Lianyi agreed, and she and Eunuch Sheng exited Ruoxi Palace. "Where is the prince? Take me there quickly." After leaving the palace, Luo Lianyi could not hide her anxiety. She pulled Eunuch Sheng, wishing she could get away.
Just run.
"Feng Yu, don't be anxious. Miss Xiao Zhu asked me to show you this first." Eunuch Sheng quietly put a paper ball in his hand into Luo Lianyi's hand. Luo Lianyi saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly opened it and took a look.
There were four words written on it: "The prince is not sick." Luo Lianyi was startled and immediately understood that the prince was just pretending to be sick and tricked her into meeting him in the prison.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but then she didn't quite understand Xiaozhu's arrangement. Didn't she already agree last night that her identity would never be exposed? Why did she change her mind again overnight?
"Master Fengyu, let's go." Eunuch Sheng saw her clutching the paper ball and was lost in thought, so he pushed her arm.
"Uh, let's go!" Luo Lianyi came back to her senses and walked quickly with him to the prison of the Criminal Department.
When Luo Lianyi stepped into the dark, damp, musty prison, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough. She couldn't imagine how Lu Fan endured here.
"Sir Fengyu." Xiaozhu heard her cough and ran over to greet her.
Luo Lianyi looked at the jailer standing upright beside him, pretended not to recognize Xiaozhu, just nodded and asked, "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Over here." Xiaozhu took Luo Lianyi outside the cell where Liu Fan was imprisoned.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Luo Lianyi looked at the man sitting in the dark thatch, her voice trembling with heartache.
Liu Fan slowly turned around, his eyes fixed on her face.
"Please open the door and let Mr. Fengyu see a doctor for His Highness." Xiaozhu took out a piece of silver and put it into the hand of a jailer. The jailer took the money and came over to open the cell door with a smile on his face.
"You all stand down." Liu Fan looked up at the people outside and ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!" None of the jailers dared to be rude in front of the prince, and they all retreated far away. No one could see what was going on in the palace. The prince would be detained here now, or he might go out soon. He might be there tomorrow.
Even the Holy One, who dares to mess around?
"Sheng Gonggong, this is none of your business. You go ahead and get busy." Xiao Zhu gave Eunuch Sheng another piece of broken silver.
"Hey! I'll leave first then." Eunuch Sheng happily accepted the money and left happily.
Only Lu Fan, Luo Lianyi, and Xiao Zhu were left in the prison cell. Liu Fan grabbed Luo Lianyi's hand and looked at her intently.
