From the moment Karuga left the palace to the time he returned home, he kept his mouth dark and said nothing. None of the guards and attendants around him dared to say anything, and just followed him silently.【】
As soon as she entered the house, Ji Ying came over and asked, "Husband, how are you?"
Karukala kept a straight face and said nothing, and walked towards the back room with his hands behind his back.
Ji Ying hurriedly followed and accompanied Karugala back to the house.
After entering the room, Karuga sat on the couch helplessly, shaking his head and sighing, looking very depressed.
Ji Ying whispered to her maid to bring a cup of hot tea, then carefully brought it to her husband and said softly: "Husband, take a sip of tea to relieve your fatigue."
Karukala was indeed tired at this time, so he sat up straight and reached out to pick up the tea cup. Unexpectedly, the tea cup was too hot, and Karukala shouted irritably: "Do you have any brains? You didn't see my mood.
Isn't it good? Do you want to burn me to death by making such hot tea?"
By now in the morning, Karugala was already feeling very angry. How could he still drink hot tea at this moment?
Ji Ying immediately put away the tea cup and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, husband, I'll let them change it to something cold right away."
Karukala couldn't wait to drink cold water, so he immediately stood up, walked to the table, picked up the water bottle, and drank a gulp of it.
After quenching his thirst, Karugala's mood became slightly more stable, but his frown still remained, and his forehead was still covered with beads of sweat.
When Ji Ying saw this, she took out her silk handkerchief and walked over to wipe his sweat, but Karuga didn't give her a chance. She grabbed the silk scarf in his wife's hand and wiped it on her forehead and face.
After a while, he threw the sweat-stained silk scarf on the table and sat back on the couch.
Ji Ying asked with concern: "Husband, what did your father say?"
Karugala twisted his eyes and glanced at Ji Ying, and said angrily: "Let me compensate you, double compensation!"
After hearing this, Ji Ying was a little puzzled and said: "Husband, double compensation is nothing. It's just six hundred jars of fire oil. It's not worth much money. Why are you so angry?"
"A woman's opinion!" Karugala suddenly shouted loudly.
Ji Ying was slightly frightened and looked at her husband with confused eyes.
Karugala frowned and said very seriously: "Do you know what impact this matter will have on me?"
Without waiting for Ji Ying to speak, Kalugala continued: "This incident left a very bad impression on my father, and Jiana Lisser is already pregnant. If she gives birth to a baby by then,
Son, maybe my father will pass the throne to Ahudala!"
Ji Ying's face changed suddenly, and she was shocked and said: "No way, husband, my father has always trusted you the most. Ahudala often makes my father angry, so it is impossible no matter how you think about it..."
"What can I do if I trust you again? If it weren't for your disdain, my father would have appointed me as the crown prince!" Karugala complained.
Hearing this, Ji Ying instantly felt extremely aggrieved and angry.
"Husband, how could you say such a thing?" Ji Ying's face quickly turned red.
Ji Ying continued: "Can't you see how hard I worked on this matter? It's not my fault that I can't conceive a child. You are also responsible!"
Karukala immediately glared and said, "What responsibility do I have?"
Ji Ying said: "The imperial doctor has said many times that we should drink medicine together to recuperate our bodies, so that the chance of conceiving a child will be higher. But what about you? You just don't drink it! In the end, you put all the blame on me.
Go ahead, ask yourself, don’t you have any responsibility?”
"I'm not sick. I'm in good health. What kind of medicine should I take? Why should I take medicine?" Karugala roared.
Ji Ying frowned and said: "Husband, look how fat you are. Every time you walk a few steps, you get out of breath. How dare you say that you are in good health?"
Karuga didn't like people saying he was fat, and Ji Ying's words touched his nerves.
"Get out! Now, now!"
Karugala's expression suddenly changed, he pointed at the door and said coldly.
Ji Ying suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly tried to make amends: "Husband, I didn't mean that, I..."
But Karugala didn't want to hear it. He pointed at the door again and interrupted: "I'll say it again, get out!"
Ji Ying did not dare to speak anymore, and instead looked at Kalugala with aggrieved and expectant eyes, hoping that he would change his mind, but Kalugala was completely unmoved.
Helpless, Ji Ying could only sigh in a low voice and silently walked out of the room.
As soon as she walked out, Ji Ying heard the door behind her being slammed shut and the bolt bolted.
At this moment, tears quickly gathered in Ji Ying's eyes. As long as she moved a little louder, tears would burst out of her eyes.
But there were servants around, and it was impossible for Ji Ying to cry in front of the servants, so she immediately raised her chin and left while carefully controlling her tears not to fall.
When Ji Ying found a room and sat down alone, tears finally fell from her eyes.
"Smug! Smart!"
Ji Ying cried and complained through gritted teeth.
The object of Ji Ying's complaint was naturally Karugala, because if Karugala had directly given the kerosene to Ahudala, nothing like what happened now would have happened, and the king would not have had the same impression of Karugala.
become worse.
After being sulky for a while, Ji Ying finally calmed down.
Next, Ji Ying began to think about what Karukala had just said. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. If the king really appointed Ahudala as the crown prince, wouldn't her dream of being a queen come to nothing?
"No! Absolutely not! I don't agree, I never agree to this happening!" Ji Ying pinched her fingers hard, shook her head and muttered to herself.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Ying left the room and called a servant loudly.
Ji Ying ordered: "I'm feeling a little unwell. Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and invite Doctor Hu over."
"Yes, the eldest princess." The servant responded and left.
.............................
Half an hour later, Hu Jingyao hurried to the Grand Prince's Mansion.
After seeing the eldest princess in the garden, Hu Jingyao asked with concern: "First princess, why do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ji Ying did not answer. Instead, she stepped away from the servants and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, Imperial Physician Hu. From next month, you will be officially the Imperial Doctor."
When Hu Jingyao saw Ji Ying's appearance, he immediately understood that she asked him to come over because of something else and not because she was feeling unwell.
"It all depends on the support of the eldest prince and eldest princess." Hu Jingyao replied with a very respectful hand.
Ji Ying nodded slowly, then covered her heart with her right hand, and said sadly: "Mr. Hu, I don't know what's wrong. I've been feeling restless in recent days, and I can't even sleep at night. My heart feels like it's blocked.
A big stone, very uncomfortable..."
Hu Jingyao immediately understood the meaning of these words and said: "Hu Jingyao, I am willing to relieve the worries of the eldest prince and concubine."
