27, hard to let go
When Emperor Shizong approached the Crown Princess's bedroom, he saw Xing Fanglan kneeling outside the hall from afar. He felt disgusted and his steps were a little slow. He happened to encounter a big show and was immediately amused.
He stopped the two of them from retreating, glanced coldly at Xing Fanglan, and said in a cold tone, "Didn't you say something a few days ago? If you don't get the forgiveness of the Crown Princess, can't you kneel down for a long time? Why did the Crown Princess reject you once? Are you leaving now? Are you doing a show for whom? Humph! Another hypocritical woman. Such jealous methods are really despicable! The most hateful thing is that you shouldn't have planned to be my little girl!
Xing Fanglan knelt for half a month. Shizong always turned a blind eye to her. Today, the first time I paid attention to her, but her tone was extremely unkind. She was shocked. This was different from what she expected! Not to mention it, it was simply a completely different direction! Shouldn't Shizong be moved by her virtuous and respectful manners, and then dislike Ouyang Huiru's willfulness?
She was shocked by the unexpected situation and couldn't answer for a long time.
Shizong sneered lightly, "Hmph, since you want to show your respect, you have done your best. Don't show your shape as soon as someone supports you. I'm not as easy to fool as some people!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at the prince coldly.
The prince shivered and his face turned pale. His father's dissatisfaction with him seemed to be overwhelmed by day, and he felt anxious and confused.
Without waiting for the two of them to answer, Shizong suddenly changed his voice and ordered coldly, "Kneel down! The princess ignores you, and you will kneel until you die!" The little girl was sick. The woman came to make things difficult for her when she saw the sky, but the prince didn't care. He couldn't bear it. He made an exception and interfered in the prince's family affairs. Since she was about to kneel down, she knelt down to his little girl! She didn't want to leave if she didn't kneel down like a pile of bones!
"Father!" The prince screamed in surprise with pleading.
"Shut up! I have told you a few days ago that you should not favor your concubine and destroy your wife. Have you forgotten? Even if you don't handle family affairs properly, how can you be the crown prince of a country? Go back and reflect on yourself!" Shizong waved his hand and sternly retreated the prince.
The prince's face turned pale and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he retreated with a bland pace.
Looking at the prince's back as he staggered away, Shizong narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes as deep as two cold ponds, and thought quietly in his heart: How can such a prince protect my little girl? Forget it! It's good that he has no intention of the little girl, so continue. The little girl has my own care, and it's enough.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xing Fanglan kneeling on the ground deeply, and his heart was instantly faded when he wanted to wipe her. Just let her be with the prince!
Sejong nodded secretly and walked quickly into the hall.
As soon as Shizong left, Xing Fanglan immediately hunched over, and the clothes on her back were soaked with cold sweat. It was so dangerous that she clearly felt murderous aura from Shizong, but for some reason, it disappeared in an instant, and her heart almost popped out of her shock.
She wiped away the cold sweat and happened to find that Jiang Yingyue turned around and glanced at her. She quickly looked serious and racked her brains to think about how to make the situation come back and make the emperor change her view of her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before entering the door, Shizong realized that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet. Unconsciously, he took a lighter step and used gestures to stop the palace servants from passing the rituals.
Before Madam Qin heard the sound, she saw the emperor entering the bedroom. She was stunned for a moment and immediately wanted to kneel down to greet her.
Shizong shook his head, made a gesture of silence, walked to Ouyang Huiru's bed and sat down, reached out to touch her forehead, and found that the temperature on his hands was still very high, and his face turned gloomy after retracting his hand, staring at the little girl's extremely uneasy sleeping face, feeling unspeakable.
"Have you taken the medicine?" Shizong turned around and asked Madam Qin in a low voice.
"Go back to the emperor and drink." Madam Qin replied respectfully.
Sejong nodded, frowned and tightly. The capital of the Imperial Hospital was helpless. What should he do? If anyone could save his little girl, status, wealth, and reward, he would never be stingy!
His heart was cut like a knife, and Shizong leaned over and gently stroked Ouyang Huiru's flushed and hot cheeks with his fingertips. He was reluctant to stop for a long time. The care in his eyes could be seen clearly even as simple as light rain.
The hall is centered on Sejong, and an extremely depressing atmosphere is filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere.
Madam Qin lowered her head, feeling happy and worried. What she was happy was that although her lady was not favored by the prince, fortunately the emperor liked it very much. What she was worried about was, what should the lady do if she was sick? When would she recover?
Shizong stroked Ouyang Huiru's cheeks, then brushed her messy forehead and gently turned her back to her ears. He stared at her sleeping face for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and strode away. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Madam Qin, "Take good care of the Crown Princess, I will immediately post a list of all the country, seeking famous doctors, and cure her at all costs. Don't be discouraged. You have more smiles on weekdays. The Crown Princess will feel more smooth when she looks at her, which will be beneficial to her illness."
When did the emperor, who had always been cold and tough, take care of whom so carefully? Madam Qin nodded and said yes, her face full of flattery.
Shizong pursed his lips tightly, quickly walked out of the bedroom, and was in a hurry to draft the imperial list. When he saw Xing Fanglan, who was kneeling, kowtowing to him, shouting, "Prince, please stay! Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude, I have something to say!"
Sejong turned a blind eye to her and walked straight ahead without any intention of staying.
Xing Fanglan couldn't help but throw her reserve away and shouted loudly: "Back to the emperor, it's about the condition of the Crown Princess! The guilty concubine has a way to save the Crown Princess!"
Sejong stopped and looked at her, with light flashing in his eyes. Whenever he involved the little girl, he could not be careless. Even if he hated this woman extremely, he still wanted to hear what she would say.
Jiang Yingyue stood behind Sezong, pulled the corner of her mouth, and thought to herself coldly: This woman is crazy about getting on top, what does Ouyang Huiru's life or death have to do with her? It's better to die!
But instead of thinking about Ouyang Huiru's series of brainless behaviors during the assassination, she felt relieved again. Such a fool would be kept, and she might be able to use it in the future!
After thinking about it, she grinned invisibly, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
"What do you have to say? If you can save the Crown Princess, I will save you from death." Shizong raised his jaw and said coldly.
Xing Fanglan took a deep breath and kowtowed, "The Crown Princess was extremely frightened a few days ago and became ill. If she had not cured for a long time, it is probably because of the evil Chong. It would be better to invite a wizard to exorcise the evil, which may be cured."
Xie Chong? Many people are frightened and will indeed get seriously ill for a while. They all say that they are infected with evil, and most of them are cured after exorcising evil. Shizong suddenly realized and nodded slightly.
He glanced at Xing Fanglan, his tone was no longer as cold as before, and raised his hand and said, "Very good. If the princess of the exorcist queen is cured, I will spare you and ask the prince to give you a title. If the princess of the exorcist queen is still cured, you will kneel until you die."
After saying that, he strode away, and while walking, he ordered loudly: "Stop at Cining Palace!"
The attendants agreed in unison and headed towards Cining Palace. Xing Fanglan watched the group walk away and instantly collapsed on the ground like a dying fish, gasping for breath. Today, she was frightened by the emperor.
Jiang Yingyue lowered her head and followed Shizong closely, and was secretly shocked: How could he immediately set up the Cining Palace when exorcising evil spirits? Could it be that the Empress Dowager would invite the great wizard of Jesa? Wanyan Bupo just valued Ouyang Huiru so much? Why?
Don’t blame Jiang Yingyue for being so surprised. The status of the great wizard of Jesada is very transcendent. He has the title of national teacher and has the right to participate in the government affairs. Only when it is concerned about the national system can he be invited to come out. He does not show up easily on the face of directors, let alone act on behalf of others?
When he rushed to Cining Palace, Shizong saluted the Empress Dowager without saying nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Mother, my son is here this time. I want to ask you to ask the Great Wizard of Jesa to exorcise evil spirits for the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess' high fever will not subside, so it is very dangerous to continue like this!"
Please!? The first time Shizong used the word "苏" in front of the empress dowager, his feelings were sincere and haggard, which shows that he was worried about the crown princess. The empress dowager was nervous and looked at him for a long time. Finally, he spoke lightly, "Your Majesty, you must know what you are doing!"
Sejong pursed his lips and spoke firmly, "My son knew what he wanted to do since he was a child. The queen did not have to worry about her son, she had a sense of responsibility." He had enough patience to get what he wanted. When he grabbed the sharp blade with his bare hands without thinking, he knew that he could no longer let go.
After all, the Crown Princess was the queen mother who grew up, and she was also begging her as if she was as sweet as a baby. How could the queen mother bear to see her suffering? Seeing that her son was determined, she was afraid that she had decided and could not persuade her. She sighed and waved her hand and said, "Forget it, the Ai family gave up this old face and went to beg him for a while! But he was willing to say anything, don't hold too much hope!"
The great wizard of Jesada has not done any tricks for decades, and the Queen Mother is also unsure.
When Emperor Shizong heard this, he showed his first relaxed smile in recent days and bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "My mother is doing her best. If not, my son will plan the imperial list and seek famous doctors."
The Queen Mother nodded, closed her eyes, and waved tiredly: "You go and do your own business. The Ai family will send someone to summon the great wizard into the palace."
Emperor Shizong said goodbye, but he was a little relieved. Jiang Yingyue behind him was overwhelmed: It turns out that he wanted to invite the great wizard of Jesa! Ouyang Huiru, you are a fool, what kind of virtue can you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The great wizard of Jesada received the urgent call from the Queen Mother and soon arrived at the Cining Palace.
"I wonder why the Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace in such a hurry?"
Without masks, the great wizard of Jesada was young and handsome, and had a strong spirit. At this time, he was stroking the beard on his chin and asked the Queen Mother slowly.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyebrows, thought about the words, and said warmly: "The Ai family really has something to ask for."
"Oh? Let's hear." Jesada and the Queen Mother, a mother, had a transcendent status, and had less restraint and more casual words.
The Empress Dowager hesitated for a while and finally told the truth, "The Ai family wants to ask you to exorcise evil spirits for the Crown Princess. She was shocked a few days ago in the yard. Her high fever did not go away, and the medicine was not cured. She could not help but ask you."
Jesa waved his hand and refused, "I have not tried to exorcise evil spirits for decades. I may have lacked magic power and I cannot meet my strength. Why not, how about I introduce a high priest to you?"
The empress dowager showed her regret and sighed: "Oh, the Ai family watched this child grow up, as if they were caring for her. She had only passed the serious illness in mid-autumn and stepped into the gate of hell with one foot. It was not long before she recovered and suffered this disaster again. The Ai family really couldn't bear it! How about you treat the Ai family with a face?" This is playing the card of family affection and using a bitter plan.
When Jesaar heard this, his eyes changed for a moment and he asked carefully, "That child was seriously ill in Zhongqiu? When exactly?"
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and replied affirmatively after a while, "The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner."
The Crown Princess was not sick, but accidentally fell off with the Crown Prince. The Empress Dowager was as clear as a mirror, but she couldn't bear to blame her. She was newlywed, who could stand guarding alone in the empty bedroom? It was because the Crown Prince was too cold to her.
On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner? That is when the Star of the Warrior suddenly descends and falls into the palace! The Crown Princess is sick at this point, so it’s okay to go and have a look.
Jesa thought to himself, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, he stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and suddenly spoke, "Okay, I'll go and see if the princess can be saved. Let's talk about it after seeing it."
The empress dowager was stunned and prepared a large basket of persuasion and swallowed it into her stomach. After coming to her senses, she quickly got up and took Jesa to Yuqing Palace.
