Chapter 161 Murong Li is sick
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat and she hurried over to check his forehead. In just half an hour, he had developed a high fever.
Su Yue was frightened. She quickly ran to her room, found the remaining antipyretic medicine, and immediately went back to give it to him.
Murong Li, who had taken the antipyretic medicine, held Su Yue's hand tightly and muttered something. No one knew what he was saying, but occasionally one could hear the word "mother".
Su Yue felt extremely distressed. She had never seen Murong Li so weak and helpless. He curled up in her arms like a little puppy, which made her heart moved.
No matter how strong a man is, he has a weak side.
Su Yue stroked his back gently, his cheeks, and his inky black hair like coaxing a child, making him feel that someone was by his side, someone was accompanying him.
Sure enough, Murong Li slept more peacefully. He stopped muttering and fell into a deep sleep with a frown on his face.
Su Yue gently placed a kiss between his eyebrows and looked at his handsome face which looked a little sick.
Illness is like a mountain falling. A person who was full of life one moment becomes a sick beauty the next.
Half an incense stick later, Murong Li's fever subsided and his red face returned to normal. Su Yue got up gently and the medicine she had boiled before had cooled down.
She took it back, heated it up, and brought it back, feeding him spoonful by spoonful.
This medicine soup is made from herbs in the space, decocted with spiritual spring water. It has good medicinal effects and you will get better quickly after taking it.
After feeding the medicine, Su Yue was also extremely tired. Like Murong Li, she had not slept a wink all night. She simply took off her clothes, got into bed, hugged Murong Li tightly in her arms, kissed him on the forehead, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the capital, Murong Yi rested for a while, and the wound on his face healed a lot. Yao Lao found some medicine in Yaowang Valley, and after giving it to him, only a faint pink scar could be seen. Within a month, the scar would completely disappear.
"Yao Lao, thank you so much."
Murong Yi's thank you was sincere. He was really grateful to Yao Lao for being by his side all these years and solving so many troubles for him. Otherwise, he would have died so many times that the grass on his grave was now as tall as a person.
Yao Lao smiled and said, "As long as the prince can get better, what I have done is nothing."
"By the way, Yao Lao, has the person above you made any moves recently?" Murong Yi asked.
Yao Lao was not only his personal physician, but also his strategist. Yao Lao was not only an excellent doctor, but also a man of literary and military talents.
Yao Lao shook his head: "No, after the prince returned, he only sent people to take over Northwest City and let General Tian replace General Sima. As for the Fourth Master, no action was taken."
Murong Li frowned when he heard this. Could it be that his adoptive father was so patient this time?
Isn’t he worried that Murong Li will usurp his throne?
Or is it that seeing that his face is ruined and the prince is unable to handle the heavy responsibility, does he want to let Murong Li go?
Murong Yi couldn't help but sneer. He was also afraid. He was afraid that after his death, there would be no one to succeed him and the Murong family's kingdom would be in danger?
Haha... Murong Yi sneered in his heart. Should he give that person a surprise?
"What about the prince?"
Yao Lao hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Crown Prince has been very active recently, mainly visiting the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Rumor has it that at today's New Year's Eve banquet, Jun Wushuang will be granted marriage to the Crown Prince as a concubine."
"Jun Wushuang?"
When Murong Yi heard the name, his heart seemed to be pricked by something, but the feeling soon disappeared. However, when he thought of that beautiful girl with a hint of sadness on her face, his heart was inexplicably pricked again, as if the sadness was caused by him.
"Yao Lao, please go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and deliver a visiting card. I will visit Grand Tutor Jun in a few days."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Aren't you clearly trying to snatch someone from the Crown Prince?"
Yao Lao instantly understood Murong Yi's intention. He felt that there was no need to compete with the prince for people. Although Tutor Jun was highly valued by the emperor, his children and grandchildren were not outstanding. They were mediocre and not capable of great use. Now they were only fifth-rank officials.
It's still for the sake of Master Jun.
Once Grand Tutor Jun falls, the Jun Mansion will fade out of the court and out of the emperor's sight. At that time, the Jun Mansion will be of no use at all.
He felt that the daughter of the newly rising noble Marquis of Zhennan was more suitable to be the Princess of Yi. He had inquired about it and found out that this woman was not only known as one of the four talented women in the capital, but was also gentle and virtuous, making her the perfect choice for the Princess of Yi.
If she gets the support of Marquis Zhennan, and Murong Yi inherits the throne in the future, she will be more than qualified to be the queen.
Moreover, the Marquis of Zhennan holds real power, and his two sons are also extraordinary. Although they are currently on transfer, once they are transferred back, they will definitely be promoted to third or fourth rank officials, and their future is limitless.
If Murong Yi wants to compete for that position in the future, it will not be difficult for him to get that position with the support of Marquis Zhennan.
There is no need to compete with the prince for Jun Wushuang. Murong Yi's foundation is not deep now, so there is no need to confront him head-on.
The two of them were already in dire straits, and if someone interfered, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire and speed up the prince's response to Murong Yi?
"Forget it then. Does Yao Lao have his eyes on any daughter?"
Murong Yi would still listen to what Yao Lao said. Seeing that Yao Lao looked confident, he probably had his eyes on a girl from some family.
Seeing that Murong Yi had truly listened to him, Yao Lao was delighted and said with great joy, "Your Highness, Li Ruyu, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, is known as one of the Four Talented Ladies of the Capital. As her name suggests, she is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and generous, and virtuous. She is a perfect match for Prince Yi's consort."
After hearing this, Murong Yi smiled. The Marquis of Zhennan, a newly rising upstart, was indeed suitable. He nodded repeatedly, "Then I will ask my father to grant me a marriage at this year's New Year's Eve banquet. Hahahaha..."
Murong Yi laughed happily.
Yao Lao looked at Murong Yi lovingly, as if he was looking at his son, and felt relieved. Prince Yi had not been so happy for a long time, and it was time for him to be happy.
Then he nodded and said, "Your Highness, it is not a loss for you to marry Li Ruyu."
"I hope so."
Murong Yi restrained his smile. He was already twenty years old when he came here, and had never met a woman who made his heart beat faster. He hoped that the woman named Li Ruyu could catch his eye and not let him down.
At the Taifu Mansion, Jun Wushuang has been in the capital for almost a month and has already established contact with the Crown Prince. At this year's New Year's Eve banquet, Grandpa will ask the Emperor to grant her marriage and make her the Crown Prince's concubine.
The emperor has also agreed.
In this life, I can finally get rid of Murong Yi and the cruel fate of the Jun family.
Jun Wushuang sat in the house, looking at the snow in the yard through the window. The snow in the capital looked whiter and more beautiful than the snow in the northwest city. The plum trees in the yard stood proudly in the wind and snow, competing to bloom.
