Xiao Qu, the third prince's personal eunuch, took care of the officials who were discussing matters. When he returned to the third prince's palace, he had already taken a nap.
Ning Ning is not here in the palace.
"Where did she go?" Xiaoqu asked curiously.
A eunuch who was guarding outside the dormitory said happily: "Ning Ning said that he can cure His Highness's illness, so he went to prepare the medicine."
Xiao Qu laughed: "Why are all the ladies today so brave? They dare to say that they can cure His Highness's illness? The last time Miss Danzhu——"
At this point, the third prince's voice came from inside, "Little song."
Xiaoqu stopped talking and walked in: "Your Highness, you are awake."
The third prince was sitting by the bed in his underwear, drinking tea by himself.
"Master Lin and the others have finished their work." Xiao Qu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The official document to be sent to the prefectures and counties has been drafted. Once your Highness has read it, it can be submitted to His Majesty."
The third prince nodded, put down the tea and stood up: "Then let's go there now."
In response to the song, Ning Ning came in holding a medicine bowl: "Your Highness, I have prepared some medicine."
The third prince looked at her with a smile, but did not reach out to take it.
Xiaoqu took it first and asked curiously: "Is this the medicine that can cure His Highness?"
Ning Ning shook her head: "This is just a conditioning medicine. Your Highness's illness needs to be treated slowly."
Xiaoqu glanced at the third prince from the corner of his eye. The third prince said nothing, so he continued to ask curiously: "How long will it take?"
Ning Ning said calmly: "At least five doses of medicine."
Xiaoqu was surprised: "So simple? Is it true or false?"
Ning Ning said: "My grandfather has encountered patients like Your Highness before, and he only needed three doses of medicine before the last step of cure."
Xiaoqu murmured, and then murmured: "The last step? Is it cured or not?"
Ning Ning looked a little hesitant, lowered her head and said: "There is a medicine in the last step that is difficult to find. Not everyone can be so lucky."
This is a bit difficult to say. Xiaoqu thought to himself, should he say that the third prince is a lucky man, or something else. He felt that the medicine in his hand was getting cold, so the third prince behind him said: "Take the first few pills first."
Well, let’s talk about it after the last step is reached.”
The third prince stretched out his hand, Xiaoqu was still a little reluctant: "Your Highness, you should be more cautious."
The third prince smiled, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Ning Ning happily handed a piece of candied fruit to his mouth, and the third prince opened his mouth to eat.
"Okay." He held Ning Ning's arm, "Let's change clothes."
Ning Ning supported him with a smile on her face, and two other eunuchs accompanied him into the clean room, while Xiao Qu took the other eunuchs to prepare for the ceremony.
"Ningning really dares to make medicine."
"Your Highness really believed it. He took it and drank it. It was so simple."
The two eunuchs were discussing.
Xiao Qu walked behind them and pursed his lips. What a simple thing. His Highness waited for him to ask a lot of questions before accepting the answer. When Miss Danzhu opened her mouth, His Highness just said "Hello" and then gave him whatever he wanted to eat.
No more questions——
But it’s better to ask clearly, and be more cautious, unlike the nonsense like facing Miss Danzhu.
The third prince was carried to the front hall by a shoulder carriage. The imperial city became brighter in the spring afternoon, making everyone who walked there feel happy.
Zhou Xuan and the fifth prince murmured as they walked. When Zhou Xuan saw the third prince with sharp eyes, he stopped and raised his hand to say hello: "Your Highness."
The third prince's carriage approached and stopped.
"Is Your Highness feeling better?" Zhou Xuan looked at the third prince's face.
Before the third prince could answer, the fifth prince smiled and said, "Third brother is in high spirits. You will be fine at first glance."
The third prince smiled at them: "Fortunately, I've always been like this. It's neither better nor worse."
"That's pretty good." Zhou Xuan laughed and turned his eyes to the woman next to him.
In front of a marquis and a prince, Ning Ning bowed her head and was obedient and silent.
"I heard that Miss Danzhu has entered the palace?" Zhou Xuan asked suddenly.
The third prince nodded: "Yes, I came in the morning to see General Iron Mask."
Zhou Xuan made a sound, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What do you want to see General Iron Mask? He is here to see His Highness, right? For example, to thank His Highness for interceding for her and so on."
The third prince said: "General Iron Mask can exonerate her, but I can't. I can't afford her thanks."
He whined about what a woman was doing, and the fifth prince interrupted impatiently: "Okay, we two idlers should not delay the third brother from doing important things." After saying that, he pulled Zhou Xuan away, "Hurry up, I'm late, mother.
He wants to scold us again."
Zhou Xuan corrected: "I am scolding you, not you."
The two walked away laughing and joking. The third prince looked on and saw Zhou Xuan turning back and smiling at him, so he smiled back.
Two or three days later, the spring scenery became more and more intense, and the emperor felt that life was a little more relaxed. The prince was busy with what he should do, the third prince's health did not deteriorate anymore, there was no noise in the court, and the world was peaceful and stable——
He took a long nap in his busy schedule, and then listened to what was going on in the palace.
The emperor is sitting in his palace, but no matter the imperial city or the world, no matter far away or in front of him, everything must be seen clearly. Some things are boring to hear, some things are unpleasant to hear, and some things make the emperor look gloomy, but there are also some things that make the emperor look gloomy.
The emperor laughed.
"That maid also wants to treat the third prince?" The emperor was a little amused.
Eunuch Jinzhong shook his head in displeasure: "Why are these women talking so freely?"
The emperor said calmly: "That's because this is what Asiu needs most, so they can exchange it for what they need."
Eunuch Jinzhong asked: "Your Majesty, this young lady is acting like this? Fortunately, Miss Danzhu is one of our own. This young lady is a daughter of Qi, sent by the King of Qi. Her thoughts are unclear."
The emperor smiled and leaned on the couch: "Although my cousin is sick, he has more eyes than anyone else. Now he bows his head and pleads guilty. He doesn't take it seriously, and I don't take it seriously either. As long as the world can see it, that's fine.
I don't care about his thoughts. At least one thing is that he and I both understand that killing my sick son is not good for him."
Eunuch Jinzhong nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder Your Majesty asked this daughter Qi to guard the Third Highness every step of the way. It turns out that Your Majesty has already made up his mind. With Your Majesty here, the Third Prince will be like a solid umbrella to protect him from the wind and rain. Why don't you just
He drank the medicine given by Qi Nu because he believed that Your Majesty could protect him."
The emperor laughed: "You old guy, don't say such flattering words."
Eunuch Jinzhong felt aggrieved: "What the old slave said is true."
The master and servant were chatting and laughing indoors, and the emperor became more and more happy: "Why do you suddenly feel so much more relaxed?" He sat up and thought of someone, "Did Chen Danzhu not enter the palace recently?"
Eunuch Jinzhong said: "I came here a few days ago and was called in by the general."
The emperor snorted, obviously he also knew about this.
"I met the third prince once," Eunuch Jinzhong continued, "but he left soon after and never came back again. I don't know what happened."
The emperor laughed and sat up straight: "There is no need to talk about this matter. It must be because of Qi Nu that Chen Danzhu retreated when he realized the difficulty."
Eunuch Jinzhong blinked, puzzled.
"You don't understand these young men and women." The emperor told him enthusiastically, "Why did Chen Danzhu get involved in Xiu Rong? Isn't he just bragging about treating his illness? Now there is another one who can cure the illness. Is it true?
The woman who brought Xiu Rong back from the Palace of Hell, she still has the nerve to do whatever she wants?"
Eunuch Jinzhong suddenly realized and smiled again: "I think Miss Danzhu is not such a person who quits despite difficulties. Now that she has entangled with His Highness, how could she let go so easily?"
The emperor sneered: "How dare she! Originally, I only had some expectations for my indulgence in her, and she rushed to see a doctor because of her illness. Although I have given up on her after so many years, as a parent, how can I be moved when I hear someone swearing that she can be cured?
But she pestered Xiu Rong, but no medical effect was seen at all. Xiu Rong was poisoned in the Hou Mansion this time. To be honest, it was because of her. If it wasn't to see her, Xiu Rong would not have gone. She naturally understands this.
The truth is, you know when it's difficult to retreat when it's enough, otherwise, I won't spare her lightly."
Eunuch Jinzhong responded: "If she doesn't come, the palace will be much safer, and the Third Highness doesn't have to worry about the messy things she caused."
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, I feel that I have never been quiet before, it is really comfortable -"
Before he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good."
The emperor only felt his brows twitching and feeling a dull pain.
Eunuch Jinzhong yelled angrily: "There are no rules, just talk!"
The eunuch kowtowed and admitted his mistake, and then said: "Master Zhou and the Queen had a quarrel, and the Queen was furious and wanted to punish him with a stick."
What's going on? The emperor was surprised. Although Zhou Xuan was naughty, he never had any trouble with him or the queen.
"Let's take a walk." He hurriedly got off the dragon bed.
Chen Danzhu is not here, so why is it so rare for the palace to be quiet?
