It was dark, and the candles in Fuyou Hall were brightly lit.
The prince fell asleep for half a month and never woke up.
Queen Su stayed by the bed and never left. Xu Jing also didn't leave even half a step.
Su Huan, who was standing guard outside the dormitory, cried so many times that her eyes were swollen from crying. Murong Yan didn't cry, she just kept walking blankly, her expression dull.
A strange noise suddenly came from Murong Yan's side.
Su Huan turned to look at Murong Yan.
Murong Yan was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice with a sullen face: "He hasn't eaten a morsel of food or drank a sip of water for most of the day. It's inevitable that he will be hungry. What are you looking at?"
Su Huan was worried about the prince's safety. He was not in the mood to worry about whether he was hungry, and he was not in the mood to argue with Murong Yan. He silently turned his head back.
Murong Yan couldn't help it anymore. She stood up and walked to Su Huan: "Are they just waiting there? The east of the palace doesn't want to see them, and the Queen doesn't want to see them either, so why should they stay there. Simply
Just go back to the East Palace and wait."
Su Huan's voice was a little hoarse: "I can go back if I want. He asked me to be there to guard my cousin."
Murong Yan: "..."
The two concubines had to go together if they asked to leave. How could she go back to the East Palace alone? If Su Huan refused to leave, she would have gone back to the East Palace long ago.
Murong Yan was suffocating, and her voice was full of anger: "Am I stupid? What's the point of guarding there? The east of the palace is so sleepy that he doesn't even know they are guarding outside."
Su Huan was unmoved: "Let me go! He won't leave!"
Murong Yan was frustrated. She was thirsty and hungry at the same time, and wanted to leave immediately. But after all, she had just entered the palace. She had learned the "rules" for more than two months and knew that she could not act independently in the palace.
I had to swallow my anger and walked back again.
Muzi Zi came out and said softly: "The Empress ordered her slaves to deliver the oral message and ask the two side concubines to go back to the East Palace to rest first."
Murong Yan breathed a sigh of relief visibly and stood up to take the order.
Su Huan stood up hurriedly, with a pleading look on his face: "Aunt Mushizi, how is the east of the hall doing now? Please ask aunt to send a message to him. He wants to go in and guard the east of the hall."
When Muzhi heard Su Huan's voice, his voice became much gentler: "Dian Dong has woken up just now. Letting the two concubines go back to the East Palace to rest would be against Dian Dong's wishes. Concubine Su should go back first! Wait for Dian Dong to get better,
I will summon Concubine Su to accompany you."
When Su Huan heard that the prince finally woke up, tears filled his eyes, and he nodded with choked sobs.
Murong Yan on the side was particularly embarrassed by Su Huan's sincere feelings, and secretly gritted her teeth in her heart.
From the corner of her eyes, Mushi Zi caught sight of Murong Yan's unnatural expression. She hummed in her heart and said with a smile without showing her face at all, "Please leave first, the two concubines."
Su Huan wiped her tears with her sleeves, saluted in the direction of the dormitory, then turned and left.
Murong Yan had a sullen face and deliberately slowed down her pace.
Su Huan noticed Murong Yan's dissatisfaction, but she didn't care at all and continued to move forward.
Walking out of the Fuyou Hall, there were more than a hundred guards on duty in the huge open space. Murong Yandong looked around consciously, but could not find his father and brother, and was a little frustrated.
Her greatest confidence comes from her father Murong Yao and her brother Murong Shen.
The second brother Murong Ke actually loved her the most. However, Murong Ke was too young. As soon as he joined the imperial guard, he was named by the prince to enter the new army camp. The new army was training very much. Murong Ke stayed in the military camp for the whole month and didn't know anything about it.
The opportunity will come to the palace again.
In that delay, Su Huan had already walked a long way.
Murong Yan simply walked slower.
Su Huan didn't look down on her, and she had never liked Su Huan. The two of them had been inseparable from the day they entered the East Palace. Su Huan had the upper hand in every aspect, so how could Murong Yan not hold grudges in her heart.
"Concubine Murong, please stay."
A familiar male voice sounded in my ears.
Murong Yan was surprised and happy. She quickly followed the voice of the person coming and looked over: "Brother! Didn't I miss something? Why are you there?"
Murong Shen stepped forward, his usually cold and stern face softened a bit under the illumination of the palace lantern: "He was not worried and was waiting for me there specially."
When Murong Yan heard those caring and warm words, her nose felt sour and tears rushed out of her eyes: "Brother!"
The few palace servants waiting behind him looked at each other and took a few steps back.
As a concubine of the East Palace, it is certainly against the rules to shut up with an outsider at will. However, Murong Shen was the direct brother of Murong Concubine. It was rare to meet him, so it was not humane to comfort his sister with a few words.
The most important thing is that Murong Shen served as the imperial captain and won the emperor's trust and respect. The palace people did not dare to provoke this cruel and cold-hearted master.
"Brother knows that my confinement period is not easy." Murong Shen whispered: "I was spoiled at home in the past months and did not learn the rules seriously. Now that I am in the palace, I will inevitably suffer some hardships."
"Since I married into the East Palace, I have to learn the rules and adapt to the life in the palace. Don't worry, as long as he is here, no palace servants or outsiders will dare to bully me."
Of course, Queen Su's rules must be adhered to. She must also bear the grievances given by the prince.
It was rare for Murong Yan to have the support of his elder brother, and most of the grievances in his heart were gone. He nodded and replied: "He has forgotten all the words of elder brother."
Murong Shen whispered again: "The master of the palace has a heart attack and should not move. Please stay in Fuyou Hall to recuperate. I come with Concubine Su every month to take care of the illness. It doesn't matter if the master of the palace sees me or not. In short,
I will definitely ask for it."
Murong Yan answered Dong one by one.
Murong Shen stuffed another small food box over: "I can't bear to be hungry, so there are some snacks in that box. I'll eat first when I go back to satisfy my hunger."
Murong Yan was so moved that her eyes turned red: "Brother, I was wrong. It's so good of him."
Murong Shen smiled and said meaningfully: "If anything happens in the future, just tell him and he will definitely support me."
Murong Yan nodded vigorously.
…
In the bright candlelight, Dr. Wan once again performed acupuncture on the prince.
The prince had long been used to that kind of punishment. He endured acupuncture in silence, and then was served a bowl of horribly bitter soup.
Queen Su asked with red eyes: "I haven't eaten in a month. He asked the imperial kitchen to bring porridge. I'll take a few sips."
The prince managed to take two bites, but then he couldn't eat anymore.
Xu Jing looked at his miserable-looking cousin, feeling as if he was being pressed down by a huge boulder. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable and his eyes quietly turned red.
The prince looked over and said, "Mother, he wants to be alone with Chunsheng for a while."
Queen Su nodded silently, got up and went out.
Xu Jing walked to the bed and held the prince's cold legs: "Cousin, did I, Mingyue, really scare him?"
Just a little bit away, the prince would have closed his eyes forever.
Now recalling the scene where the prince suddenly fell without any warning, Xu Jing felt frightened.
The prince smiled weakly: "He was also very scared. Fortunately, he was rescued and he can live a little longer."
"Chunsheng, he didn't discuss the matter of establishing the emperor's younger brother with me. Do I blame him?"
