After a long silence, King Pingnan asked the prince to come forward and salute the two elders.
Prince Pingnan's face was pale and he could barely come forward. He was almost unsteady on his feet.
Chu Shoufu asked: "What's going on?
Are you sick?"
The prince said weakly: "As for Uncle Shi, my nephew has not been out much. He has been running around for a while and his body is a little overwhelmed. He has had vomiting and diarrhea since the past two days and has not recovered yet, which has delayed his trip."
"You are actually weaker than your father."
Xiaoyao Gong is a martial arts practitioner, but he couldn't see that the young man was so weak, so he immediately sneered.
The prince said: "Father is also feeling a little unwell, but he is getting better after taking medicine."
Upon hearing this, the first assistant and Duke Xiaoyao quickly asked King Pingnan, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Is it better?"
"It's much better. It's not a problem. I was a little unclean when I ate on the road. I'll be fine after taking medicine."
King Pingnan said with a smile.
Chu Shoufu raised his eyebrows in concern, "Then come back with me to rest quickly, and then enter the palace tomorrow."
Prince Pingnan said: "That's exactly what I meant. I'm just bothering my uncle."
Yu Wenhao originally wanted to take them directly to the palace, but seeing that they were not feeling well, he thought it would be better to stay in the chief minister's house for one night, so he sent them off all the way.
Chu Shoufu and Xiaoyao Gong first arranged the check-in arrangements, and also sent someone to ask a doctor to come over to treat Prince Pingnan and his son. Yu Wenhao said: "There is no need to send someone to ask other doctors. I will ask the Crown Princess to come over. The Crown Princess has always wanted to
Meet the prince."
The first assistant said: "That's okay. I think brother Ji'er also wants to see the Crown Princess as soon as possible. We have exchanged letters and talked about the Crown Princess several times. Brother Ji'er also said that if there is a chance to go to Beijing, I hope that
I can see the Crown Princess."
The first assistant and Duke Xiaoyao both called Prince Pingnan Brother Ji'er. It didn't seem inappropriate for someone at such an age, but it sounded very natural.
Yu Wenhao sent someone back to ask Yuan Qingling to come over.
Yuan Qingling also wanted to see King Pingnan, so she immediately called Ah Si with her medicine box. Little did she know that Aunt Xi heard that King Pingnan had arrived in Beijing and insisted on coming with him.
King Pingnan was like thunder, and he knew their past affairs, and because he was the cousin of the Supreme Emperor, Yuan Qingling went there with a respectful and pious attitude.
When she arrived at Chu Mansion, Yu Wenhao greeted her at the door and walked in with her.
Chu Shoufu placed Prince Pingnan and his son in a unique courtyard. Xiaoyao Gong and Chu Shoufu were both inside. King Pingnan was sitting on the throne, dressed in Tsing Yi, elegant and with a clear face. Yuan Qingling knew that he was older than
The three giants are bigger, but looking at it now, he is actually the youngest among the four.
He had a warm smile on his face and was very approachable. When Yuan Qingling saw her, she felt warm in her heart and went up to greet her. King Pingnan looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said: "Finally, we have to meet you.
This time I came to Beijing and settled a matter in my mind."
These words were a compliment to Yuan Qingling.
Auntie Xi stepped forward and said with excitement in her eyes, "Axi has met the prince!"
King Pingnan looked at her and was slightly startled, "Are you Xiao Xi?"
"If I return to King Pingnan, I am a slave!"
Aunt Xi said more loudly.
King Pingnan looked at her, then at Chu Shoufu, and couldn't help sighing: "It's great, everyone is together."
Chu Shoufu smiled broadly, with a hint of the wantonness of his youth.
Next to him, a middle-aged man stood up and raised his hands to Yuan Qingling, "Xiao Wang meets the Crown Princess!"
Yuan Qingling looked over and saw that this man was in his forties, tall and well-dressed, with a "sichuan" pattern between his eyebrows. He was not as indifferent as King Pingnan, but looked bitter and resentful, and his face was pale, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
His face looked downcast.
When she learned that he was the adopted son of King Pingnan, she hurriedly returned the favor, "I've met my uncle!"
Chu Shoufu said: "Princess, the prince and his son ate unclean food on the road and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for two days. Please check their pulse and prescribe some medicine."
Yuan Qing Ling responded and said, "Go forward and give treatment to King Pingnan first."
She mainly inquired. Prince Pingnan's condition was relatively mild. As for Prince Pingnan, during the diagnosis and treatment process, he couldn't help but go to the Ruyi Room. It seemed that his condition was much more serious.
Yuan Qingling prescribed some medicine and asked them to take it immediately.
She could see that both Xiaoyao Gong and Chu Shoufu were very nervous. Ping Nan Wang kept watching and serving tea and soup. Xiaoyao Gong was willing to take action personally, giving him a feeling of care and pampering.
Yuan Qingling and Yu Wenhao looked at each other. Even Yu Wenhao had never seen how they got along with each other, and he didn't know what the status of King Pingnan meant in their hearts.
But Yuan Qingling and Yu Wenhao both felt that if something went wrong on King Pingnan's side, or if the guesses of those veterans were correct, it would be a heavy blow to the three giants.
After King Pingnan took the medicine, he left Yu Wenhao and his wife alone in the room to talk.
Prince Pingnan couldn't hold it any longer, so he went to rest first.
In the room, the lights had just been turned on, and the soft light under the glazed lampshade made King Pingnan's face even gentler. He looked at Yu Wenhao, his eyes full of admiration, "When you were appointed as the prince, I was going to
I came back, but I accidentally broke my leg and delayed my return. I hope you won't be offended."
Yu Wenhao said hurriedly: "How come you are so strange?
Is your leg okay?"
"It's fine for a long time, but after all, I'm getting older and after recovering from the injury, I don't think about walking around anymore."
He said, looking at Yu Wenhao, "Tell me the truth, did your imperial grandfather suffer from a serious illness a few years ago?"
Yu Wenhao was startled and saw that his expression was very solemn and serious, as if he really didn't know about this, "Don't you know?"
"I have no idea."
King Pingnan shook his head and sighed softly, "Maybe someone told me before, but my memory is so bad that I always can't remember things, especially the current things. I always forget the time when your imperial grandfather was seriously ill.
, I didn’t go back to Beijing, I don’t know if no one told me, or if I didn’t at that time..." King Pingnan said, he began to think deeply, looking a little confused.
Yuan Qingling and Yu Wenhao looked at each other and felt a little strange. The Supreme Emperor fell ill a few years ago. He did not come back at that time. As for whether he sent a letter to greet him, I don't know. King Pingnan looked like this.
It's very satisfying, the whole person is a little strange, but not as sober as when there were many people just now.
Yuan Qingling heard him say that he didn't remember much of the current events, so he asked: "Have you always been unable to remember things recently?
Do you remember the correspondence between you and the Supreme Emperor?"
“Letter back and forth?
When was the princess talking about?"
King Pingnan asked.
"It's about Lin Xiao's coming and going from the palace. Didn't you write a letter telling the Supreme Emperor that Lin Xiao was haunting your palace? Didn't you also send people to chase him?"
