The prince always felt that there was a piano sound in his ears, and thought it was a dream. He fell asleep again, and when he woke up, he still felt it... so real! Finally, he opened his eyes and felt that he was clear-headed and clear-eyed, which was rare. It was as if he had a good night's sleep and woke up naturally.

Looking above my head, it seems a little unfamiliar.

He turned around and was startled to see someone lying and sitting on the floor. He blinked and found that the person closest to the bed was his son. He had a thin face, a messy beard, and sloppy clothes. Why did he look so miserable?

Oh...yes, I'm sick.

Silly son, did he bring me to the other courtyard? ? Then these few...

As soon as he made a sound, Qi Wu opened his eyes. Seeing that the prince had woken up, Qi Wu's eyes were immediately filled with surprise.

He quickly stood up and was about to say something, but the prince quickly placed a finger on his lips to silence him.

I have to think...how did I get to the other courtyard?

Qi Wu didn't dare to speak. He came over quietly and knelt at the head of the bed: "Your Highness, you are awake. How do you feel?"

Although his voice was low, Song Shang and Doctor Huang, who was hiding in the corner, also woke up. The two of them also came over quietly and stood behind Qi Wu.

The prince looked at Song Shang and didn't recognize him. And who was this little old man? He looked at them one by one and answered nonchalantly, "I'm fine. Who's playing the piano outside?"

"He is a friend of mine, named Yibai."

"At that time... he had been playing for a long time, right?" the prince recalled.

"Yes, you have slept for three hours."

"Good Qin! Let him in. Help me up!" He stretched his head.

"Your Highness! You can't get up..." Qi Wu pressed him down quickly.

"It's okay, I'm just too tired to lie down!"

"Then let Doctor Huang take your pulse first, and then get up slowly, okay?" Qi Wu said in a coaxing tone.

"...Okay." The prince agreed.

Doctor Huang bowed solemnly first, then stepped forward nervously, knelt down again, and stretched out his hand, which was a little trembling. Prince, what is this...

Last night, I was so focused on the treatment that I didn't react! The prince looked at him and smiled: "Don't be afraid!"

Qi Wu went out and said to Yi Bai, "Thank you for your hard work. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up, please come in!"

Yi Bai hesitated: "I..."

"Don't think too much!" Qi Wu helped him up and slowly walked into the house.

Doctor Huang read it carefully and said, "Your Highness, the medicine yesterday really worked wonders. Your Highness' pulse is now steady and strong compared to yesterday. It's much stronger! You have survived the previous danger. You still have two days of medicinal baths to take. I believe you will feel better after the bath. Your Highness should eat some easily digestible food. When you are in good spirits, you can get someone to help you walk.

It’s just… Your Highness, your body has been damaged since childhood and accumulated over the years. I’m afraid that just one pill like this won’t be enough to transform it… So, you have to take good care of yourself!”

The prince asked hopefully, "Then, can you take care of it slowly without taking medicine?"

At this time, Li Qihuan had already woken up. He heard his father's voice, but dared not move, fearing that it was a dream...

Doctor Huang thought seriously and said, "Well... after taking it in spring, when summer comes, if you are in good health, you can stop taking it. But when Mid-Autumn Festival comes, you should start taking it again."

"Haha, that's already very good. Then, can I drink some wine?" The prince became more and more demanding.

Li Qihuan closed his eyes, his eye circles were hot.

"Uh..." Doctor Huang was embarrassed.

Qi Wu quickly interrupted: "Your Highness, this is Yi Bai."

"Your Highness!" Yi Bai bowed respectfully.

The prince looked at Yi Bai with admiration in his eyes: "Yi Bai? What a demeanor!"

I remembered the white face and smiled, feeling excited.

"Is your leg in trouble? Let him sit down!"

Yibai bowed silently and sat down.

"I vaguely remember that feeling..." The prince recalled, "It was like being burned in fire until my skin was burnt and my flesh was rotten, and then put into ice water to freeze. That kind of torture had no end. I was so tired, and I had evil thoughts in my heart. I kept asking God, why, why, I had to endure this...

I wanted to destroy everything in anger, and I wanted to become demented in fear. Until... I heard the sound of the piano. It was quiet, peaceful, comforting, serene, and comprehensible, as if telling me that God knew everything I had experienced, and that it was wrong, but it could not be changed. If I could let go of my son, I would let him go, and he would give me a new life... But I couldn't let him go..."

"Huan'er..." The prince held him with one hand, his eyes full of affection. "Dad is sick, so he is confused, but I can imagine how tired, anxious, and scared you are."

Li Qihuan buried his head in the prince's arms and began to cry.

Doctor Huang said quickly: "Your Highness, you must not call the Crown Prince. He must be emotionally stable and not be overly happy or sad!"

Li Qihuan quickly wiped away his tears, "Dad, it was your son and a few close friends who brought you back! You are fine now! You can accompany your son for the rest of his life..."

"Okay. Dad will accompany you... Hey, did you promise Dad yesterday that you could drink?"

"No." Li Qihuan shook his head decisively. "Dad, you need to eat something..."

At this time, Wen Yu said in the outer hall: "Your Highness, has your Highness woken up? I have prepared some food to nourish you a little."

The grandson jumped up and said, "Father, please have some porridge. I will talk to you slowly. I am also very hungry! Put the food here, and we will spend the New Year with you!"

The prince nodded: "Put it in, and let's sit down and eat together."

The head steward was extremely excited, and directed the eunuchs and palace maids to set up the tables and chairs and put the food on the table in a well-trained manner.

Wen Yu personally brought in a steaming casserole, smiling and looking particularly pretty. When Qi Wu saw her, he quickly rushed over to take it.

Wen Yu said, "Your Highness, I cooked chicken porridge. Although it's not as good as Zhu Zhu's, it's still pretty good!"

The prince looked at her, then at Qi Wu: "Xiao Wu, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!"

At this moment, Li Qihuan looked at Wen Yu with unprecedented favor, but he still said: "Father, Wen Yu is good and worthy of Wu Lang." He still downgraded her.

Qi Wu said honestly: "I have never eaten the food she cooked. This is a blessing from your Highnesses!"

Wen Yu was dissatisfied with Li Qihuan again. To be honest, I didn't cook for him! What do you mean, worthy of Wu Lang? Look at how reluctant he is! If you don't know, you would think Wu Lang is his son!

The prince smiled and said, "Let's all sit down and eat."

Doctor Huang said, "Your Highness, you don't need to take medicine today and tomorrow. Just get enough sleep. At night, boil some medicine and take a bath. I will use some techniques on you. Wait for three days, and then ask the imperial physician to come and consult and decide on the next medication."

When the prince heard that he didn't need to take medicine for the next few days, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Li Qihuan personally served the prince, "You haven't eaten for several days, you can't overeat, eat small meals frequently, and have another meal later."

After they finished eating, the prince said, "Qi Wu, Wen Yu, Song Shang...you are all great! Go home for the New Year, and just leave Doctor Huang here."

A few people said a few auspicious words, stood up, bowed and left.

"Yibai lives here?"

Li Qihuan said: "Yes, father. He was born in the Bai family of Xijing. He has provoked a powerful opponent and is hiding here!"

"Okay! Yibai, go down and rest first. I'll talk to you when I recover."

Li Qihuan also smiled: "Yibai played the piano all night, take a good rest, and let Doctor Huang apply some medicine to your fingers. Father, I heard that Yibai is also very good at chess. When you are in good spirits, I can play a game with you!"

“That’s great!”

After Yibai bowed, he was helped down by someone.

The prince's smile faded and he looked at Li Qihuan: "Son, do you want to say something to your father?"

"Dad, that day, the Royal Grandfather came..." He explained the situation, "We have to go to the palace and talk to him! As for the medicine to be used, I haven't decided yet."

The prince sighed, "At his age, the emperor has begun to believe in some magical things. If I don't tell him about this medicine, it will be troublesome if he finds out. But if I tell him, he probably wants it too."

"Father, there is only one pill of medicine. My son asked, and he said there is another one for giving birth to a son..."

The prince smiled and said, "After experiencing life and death again, I am more indifferent to it. Are you hiding something from me?"

"No." Li Qihuan said nothing.

"Dad has been awake for such a long time, and you haven't mentioned your mother at all. You said you were going to the palace to write a letter to the emperor, but you didn't even think of writing a letter to her? What happened?"

"Father, it's really nothing. I just blame my mother a little... I can't get over it. It will be fine in a few days. Please let me be willful for once!"

How could a clever prince not understand that something was going on? But he looked at his son silently and patted his hands, "Okay. Father will listen to you!"

It’s cloudy and I want to sleep.
