"Click once", the black door opened, and a strong smell of the pharmacy, as if with the breath of death, rushed into Concubine Chen's face.
Concubine Chen's face turned slightly pale. She stepped into the door and took two steps without even raising her head. She bowed casually and asked the servant serving Prince Dongrong to help Prince Dongrong stand up.
Because King Dongrong was ill and could not blow the wind, a screen was used in the middle of the room to separate the inner and outer rooms. The servant agreed and saw him crossing the screen and entering the inner room. After a while, the servant came back empty-handed.
"When I return to Fujin, the prince is not feeling well and cannot get up to worship."
Concubine Chen paused for a moment, and then she felt happy. But she still asked again, "Is the prince feeling well? Is it true that he can't get up to worship?"
The servant shook his head.
Concubine Chen was even more happy. She took a few steps forward and crossed the screen. She was originally going to walk to King Dongrong's bed, but she backed away as soon as she smelled the stronger smell of medicine inside.
Concubine Chen was standing next to the screen. I don't know if it was because of the light or something else. The room was clearly lit, but the shadows were still blurry and hard to see clearly.
The bed where King Dongrong slept was made of blue curtains, and Concubine Chen could not even see what was inside.
"Your Majesty, my father, emperor, and mother are all waiting outside. The other party is the eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion. Can you see if you can..." Concubine Chen lowered her head and spoke half of her words but did not finish them.
The room was silent, and everyone had their heads lowered. Except for Concubine Chen, who was waiting for the answer, everyone looked like wooden figures.
I don't know how long it took, but when Concubine Chen thought that King Dongrong would not answer her at all, the green tent raised a small corner, and a piece of white jade was thrown to the ground.
Yun Yao, who was dressed as a maid in the room, immediately stepped forward to pick up the jade pendant. She knelt in front of the bed, tilted her ears, and nodded from time to time, as if someone inside was talking to her.
When the blue Luo Zhang returned to calm, Yun Yao stood up from the ground. She walked out lightly, lowered her head, bent over, and handed the jade pendant to Concubine Chen with both hands.
Yunyao said: "Your Majesty said that he really doesn't have the physical strength to pay homage, so I'll let you make the decision in everything."
Concubine Chen took the jade pendant. The jade pendant was cold in her hands, but immediately a warmth penetrated from her fingertips into her heart, making her feel warm and comfortable all over her body.
The jade pendant was delicate in texture and felt good to the touch. Chen Fangfei looked through it and saw that the white jade pendant was only the size of a copper coin and had no exquisite carvings. It was also full of silver cracks. But Chen Fangfei almost immediately recognized the value of this piece of jade.
Not cheap.
Concubine Chen didn't see what kind of jade it was, and she didn't have the time to figure it out. She held the jade pendant and made a random salute in the direction of the bed.
Concubine Chen said in a tentative tone: "The prince is not in good health, so he cannot force himself. Let Prince Beirong bring the prince's jade pendant to marry Miss Baili. Normally, it would be nothing, but today is, after all, for
The prince is happy, and if the blessings and joy of this happy event fall on Prince Beirong, it will not be all in vain."
Seeing that there was no response from inside, Concubine Chen continued: "I know that there is a custom among the people that the bride and the rooster visit the bride if it is inconvenient for the groom. The rooster is a beast, so naturally it cannot take away the prince's blessings and joy... I don't know what the prince wants.
."
...There was no sound in the room. Concubine Chen was a little anxious. Just when she was about to ask again, a feeble voice sounded, "Yes!"
