Three days later, the moment the courtyard door was pushed open, everyone saw a quiet, elegant, calm and self-possessed Marquis of Dongyang.
Wearing a light blue cotton robe and a white fox fur, he knelt quietly in front of the incense table and prayed devoutly.
Behind him, kneeling were the two female stewards who had the most trust in him.
The three of them all looked solemn, and the scriptures they copied were neat, beautiful and meticulous.
Hearing the commotion, Dongyang Hou raised his head and asked calmly: "Is it your Majesty who wants to summon me?"
The leading eunuch was a little surprised: "Master Marquis, what is this?"
Dongyang Hou said: "Pray for your majesty's blessings."
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty is very busy and has no time to summon the Marquis for the time being. However, he is always thinking about the Marquis and specially asked this old slave to come over and see how the Marquis is doing."
Dongyang Hou smiled: "I'm fine, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
He stood up and took out a beautifully made spring shirt: "I made a spring shirt for your majesty. I'd like to have you please, father-in-law, and present it to your majesty for me."
The eunuch was even more surprised, his lips moved slightly for a moment, and he smiled: "Okay, Lord Marquis, don't worry, our family will definitely present this spring shirt to your majesty in time."
Marquis Dongyang bowed and thanked him with a gentle smile.
As soon as the eunuch reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard a cry of surprise from behind him. He turned around and saw that Marquis Dongyang had collapsed to the ground, so he quickly summoned the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor hurried over an hour later, wiping his hands in cold sweat for consultation. He was so busy and restless that he almost gave the wrong silver needle.
Xiaomi was very angry and wanted to find trouble, but was stopped by Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan quietly pointed at the feet of the imperial doctor's robe. There were a few spots of dried blood on the light blue robe.
Obviously, this imperial doctor had just experienced something terrible.
They were locked up in this courtyard, suffering from cold and starvation, and there was probably a river of blood outside.
Xiaomi thought for a moment and brought the imperial doctor a cup of hot sugar water.
Mu Yunhan said: "It's cold. Sir, please drink a cup of hot water and take a rest before seeing a doctor. It won't take more than this time."
The imperial doctor gratefully took the sugar water, sat there in a daze for a while, and then gave the injection, finally everything was normal.
When the diagnosis was made, the imperial doctor said: "Master Hou, this is caused by excessive worry, hunger and cold, and not being in very good health."
Mu Yunhan said: "But he has always been very good before. Let me take a look again, sir."
"Before, I was lifting them in one breath, so I seemed to be in good spirits, but suddenly I relaxed and couldn't hold on." The imperial doctor thought they were nice people and tried to speak in a favorable direction.
So, when this word reached Emperor Qi, it became: "The Marquis of Dongyang was suffering from hunger and cold. He was too worried about His Majesty, but he kept praying for blessings and doing needlework. When he heard that His Majesty was well, he breathed a sigh of relief and fell down."
Emperor Qi himself was still ill and did not come over personally. Instead, he sent the eunuch Gou to give him many treasures and ordered the Imperial Hospital to focus on diagnosis and treatment without making any mistakes.
Eunuch Gou brought a message from Emperor Qi to the Marquis of Dongyang: "Aji, the clothes you made are very good and I like them very much. You should take good care of yourself and recover soon. Come and play the piano for me and play chess with me. I miss you."
.”
Dongyang Hou burst into tears, choked with sobs and unable to speak. He took Eunuch Gou's hand and asked, "How are you, Your Majesty?"
Eunuch Gou had just experienced a life-and-death disaster, and he was filled with emotions: "It's all good, it's all good."
Mu Yunhan sent Eunuch Gou out, but Eunuch Gou stopped, told her to go to a quiet place aside, and informed her: "Now that things have happened here, you should go back."
Mu Yunhan was slightly uneasy: "I am very willing to be loyal to His Majesty, but those people..."
