After the engagement of the eldest son of the Zhenbei General Mansion, the princess was not seen crying. She was just in a bad mood for a while, and then she adjusted herself. Now this sudden attack caught people off guard.
Although the Queen Mother is not close to this daughter, she is still her own daughter, and she is tied to the same boat as herself. If something happens to the princess and it affects them, it will not be worth it.
This incident rarely allowed the royal party and the queen mother's party to be consistent.
Murong Cheng ordered a thorough investigation of the matter that day, and layers of guards surrounded the Ruihua Palace where the princess lived. The scene of the accident was also heavily guarded. No one was allowed to enter the place where the princess received Ruan Yunping, the Duke of Rongguo. That is, Ruixiang.
The main hall of the temple.
Now all the fingers are pointed at the princess, and Murong Cheng is asked to give an explanation. The princess pleads guilty, but before everything comes to light, the princess is just imprisoned in Ruixiang Palace.
Although Murong Cheng was not very familiar with his half-sister, he obviously knew that it was not the princess's fault.
In the gorgeous palace, there are clouds of smoke on the gilt-green frog incense burner, the four treasures of the study are placed on the nansi wood carved table, and there are several blue sky-colored vases in different shapes on the wooden shelves of the drum tower next to it.
There is a fan-shaped white duck screen embroidered with gold silk placed behind the desk, with figures faintly moving behind the screen.
"Princess, how are you? Your body feels better." Looking at the pale Princess Ruihua lying on the bed, the little palace maid asked with worry in her eyes.
"No need, it's hard for you to come in and get out even if you want to."
"yes."
Murong Cheng passed directly by the palace maid and sat on the chair set aside.
"See how the princess is doing." The old imperial doctor was about to salute but was stopped by Murong Cheng.
"It's okay." Princess Ruihua waved her hands feebly, "It's just that I've been feeling unwell for the past two days. I'm just lying like this. I can't get out anyway."
Princess Ruihua was born beautiful, and she was brought up to be simple. Her eyes were big and bright, and she looked like a very pure person at first glance. But except for her eyes, the rest of her facial features looked a bit like the Queen Mother's.
It's a bit gorgeous, but overall, it gives people a pure and lustful feeling.
When Yue'er heard the cold voice coming from her, she didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the princess is unwell and can't walk yet."
After the princess finished speaking, she lay motionless on the bed as if she had exhausted all her strength.
"Princess, don't worry, I will pay attention to you."
"Just rest in peace and recuperate."
"That's all, Doctor Xuan, who is in charge of the harem now? Why haven't the maids and eunuchs assigned to the princess come yet?" Murong Cheng said with a cold face.
Moreover, His Majesty is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as others said.
The little palace maid couldn't help but feel excited.
She deliberately raised her voice, hoping that the princess in the inner room could hear her and be prepared.
This was the first time she saw the emperor. During this period, she kept her head down, not daring to look directly at Sheng Yan. While His Majesty was talking to Eunuch Dexi, her eyes quickly glanced upward, although she could not see clearly.
But I also generally saw that His Majesty was very handsome, especially the solemn and majestic aura around him that made people dare not look directly at him.
Before stepping outside the palace, a bright yellow figure came face to face. Yue Er was startled and quickly bent down to salute.
The princess looked at the silly palace maid beside her bed and said helplessly: "Just stop thinking about it. The Great Zhou Dynasty has regulations that guards are not allowed to leave without reason when they are on guard. No matter how hard you try to coerce and induce them, they will not listen to you."
The little eunuch next to Eunuch Dexi gave instructions, turned around and left the palace.
"Yue'er, go see what's going on." The princess ordered.
What the princess didn't say was that the pain would get worse if she didn't eat for a while.
The little palace maid Yue'er nodded, turned around and left the screen.
Eunuch Dexi, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, ever since the Queen Mother submitted to the Phoenix Seal, the harem has been managed by female officials. Now that there is no one in the harem, there are two nuns who manage it. One is from your Majesty's side.
Yes, the other one is from the Queen Mother's Palace."
Despite this, Princess Ruihua's appearance ranks high in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive, panting and sweating, carrying his big medical box.
"The imperial sister knows."
The little maid heard below that His Majesty wanted to make the decision for the princess, and she felt happy for the princess in her heart.
Seeing that the little palace maid was feeling guilty again, the princess said: "I just took some painkillers before. The more I took them, the more dependent I became. It's okay not to take them."
She remembered that a young eunuch she had helped before was now the apprentice of Eunuch Dexi.
The little palace maid was anxious: "Then what should we do? Before, the princess could ask the imperial doctor to get some medicine when she was feeling unwell, but now..."
"Feeling unwell? Why don't you declare yourself an imperial doctor?"
When the princess in the inner chamber heard that the emperor brother had made the decision for her, she happily said: "The emperor sister has thanked the emperor brother here."
This shows that the princess still has some status in His Majesty's heart.
"This..." The little palace maid hesitated, but suddenly felt that the temperature around her was getting colder, so she still had the courage to say: "All the palace maids and eunuchs in Ruixiang Palace have been taken away, and now only the servants are left to serve, and your majesty has been placed under house arrest.
The princess..."
It's not that he cares about the princess, it's that the princess, as a royal family member of the Zhou Dynasty, lives in such a miserable state. If people see it, wouldn't it be a loss of royal dignity?
Therefore, it was indeed a bit miserable for the only unmarried princess in the Zhou Dynasty to be served by only a palace maid.
"Where is Princess Ruihua?"
"Check what's going on." Murong Cheng ordered.
As soon as the little palace lady finished speaking, there was a commotion outside.
Now is a critical period. All the maids and eunuchs in Ruixiang Palace have been pulled down for interrogation. Only the maids who have been the princess's personal maids since childhood are left to serve. The new batch of maids and eunuchs have not yet arrived.
The princess really couldn't stand the pain anymore, so she didn't stop her. She just reminded: "Be careful and don't get caught. Otherwise, the current situation of this palace cannot protect you. Now you can only rely on yourself. Of course,
, this palace also needs you."
The little palace maid hesitated and said: "Is it okay if I don't eat? Why don't I ask someone to get some medicine at night? Otherwise, the princess will be in pain. There is no way. I have been in the palace for so long, and I have made some connections."
"Princess, although this servant cannot go out, you can ask the guard at the door to invite you."
"Princess, please blame me. If I hadn't been clever and came up with a plan to invite Miss Ruan, you wouldn't have been imprisoned in the palace at this time." The little palace maid's voice was sobbed, "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely help you."
Please go to the imperial doctor."
"yes."
The imperial doctor did not dare to enter the inner room where the princess lived, but only asked the princess's personal maid, Yue'er, about the princess's symptoms.
The little palace maid spoke every word without missing a single detail.
Then he gave the little palace maid a golden thread and asked the little palace maid to tie it on the princess's wrist.
