Chapter 258 Picking Sophora japonica flowers
Murong Yu noticed something was wrong before the spring hunt.
The imperial physician said that he had been working too hard and that he might be better if he relaxed and rested more.
He took the opportunity of spring hunting to leave the palace and relax for a few days, but when he came back, he found it was useless.
Murong Yu suspected that he was poisoned, but the imperial physician who came to take his pulse said that he found no signs of poisoning.
Murong Yu's self-esteem does not allow others to know this.
Therefore, no one knew about it except the imperial physician who came to take the patient's pulse every day.
Today, the Queen Mother sent someone to tell her that the Crown Prince was ill, suspecting that there was an evil spirit in the palace and wanted to invite the monks from Ciguang Temple to take a look.
Murong Yu disagreed in his heart, but he would not stop her if the Queen Mother insisted on inviting her.
The reason he disagreed was that he did not believe in the monks who chanted sutras in Ci Guang Temple and thought that reincarnation and karma were all lies.
The only person he trusted was Taoist Qingyang.
If Taoist Qingyang were here, he would be willing to pay a large sum of money to invite him to come and take a look.
Maybe my illness is also related to evil spirits.
Ten years ago, Taoist Qingyang said that he would leave Chang'an and travel outside for ten years to seek enlightenment.
Murong Yu sent people to search among the people, but could find no trace of him.
Now ten years have passed, I wonder where Taoist Qingyang is now?
…
The days in late spring are getting hotter.
Su Zhizhi was so hot in her sleep that she kicked off the quilt and didn't wake up until noon.
When I woke up, my cheeks were flushed.
As soon as she sat up, a palace maid came over to help her put on her shoes and clothes.
The warm tea was handed to her mouth. As soon as she took a sip, a spittoon was immediately brought to her side for her to spit out.
Su Zhizhi felt like she was turning into a puppet. She just stood there motionless while others took care of her whole body.
When she went to have breakfast, Pei Shu, who had dressed up, was already sitting at the table waiting for her.
Pei Shu put on a little makeup, and her appearance remained the same. It was hard to tell that she had cried last night.
"Zhizhi, are you hungry? Come and have breakfast." Pei Shu picked up some food for Su Zhizhi.
Su Zhizhi was very heartbroken last night, but she didn't feel sad at all when she woke up in the morning.
Perhaps because she was sad to her heart's content, her mood quickly changed.
In the bright sunlight, a table full of steaming breakfast filled Su Zhizhi's appetite.
"Has the Queen eaten?" Su Zhizhi asked.
Pei Shu shook her head: "Wait for you."
Su Zhizhi picked up a dim sum from each plate with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
Dongyue's eyes widened: "Zhizhi is really hungry."
Pei Shu remembered that Su Zhizhi was like this during dinner last night.
Before she started eating, Su Zhizhi ate every dish first.
Pei Shu saw Su Zhizhi happy last night and didn't care too much about it, but when she saw Su Zhizhi like this again this morning, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.
After all, it’s not good to eat like this.
Pei Shu wanted to remind Su Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, you don't have to eat so fast. Eat slowly. If it's not enough, there's more."
But then she heard Su Zhizhi lean over to her ear and whisper, "I've already eaten the noodles made by Sister Hua at home. I'm not afraid of eating anything. I've tried it."
She remembered the first night Murong Di met her, he told her that he didn't dare eat anything that had not been tested for poison.
Because of this, they once thought about how to make Murong Di immune to all poisons.
Pei Shu felt so soft in her heart after hearing this that she almost burst into tears again:
"Zhizhi, it's okay, it's okay now."
The queen is not in the palace, and Concubine Shu and she are in control of the harem, which is different from before.
Meow--
Chujiu jumped onto the windowsill from outside, and then jumped from the windowsill to Su Zhizhi's side.
Su Zhizhi touched Chujiu's mouth and said, "I'll give you some fish."
Su Zhizhi took a small plate and put some fish in it for Chujiu to eat.
Meow~Chujiu rubbed his head against Su Zhizhi's feet, then lowered his head to eat the fish.
Dongyue laughed: "Chujiu likes Zhizhi. He won't eat even if others feed him."
Su Zhizhi stayed in Minghui Palace for two days. She was very active and visited every corner of Minghui Palace.
Dongyue said, "I have noticed that many locust trees in the palace are in bloom. Your Majesty can make wine with Zhizhi."
Su Zhizhi was not very interested in brewing wine, but when she heard that brewing wine required picking a lot of flowers, she became interested.
That day, Pei Shu was summoned by Murong Yu again in the morning, so Su Zhizhi and Dongyue went to pick flowers from the locust tree.
They carried bamboo baskets and walked along the long palace road.
Su Zhizhi asked: "Sister Dongyue, can I pick the flowers in the palace at will?"
Dong Yue: "It's possible with your current status, but it wasn't possible before. I spent a lot of effort to steal the locust flowers two years ago."
They found a locust tree in a corner.
The tree was covered with snow-like locust flowers. When the wind blew, a few petals fell down and stuck to Su Zhizhi's hair.
Dongyue took a bamboo pole and hit the locust flowers on the treetops.
Boom boom boom.
The treetops trembled, and a fragrant snow fell.
Su Zhizhi was holding a net bag and waving it around below to catch the fish.
The sudden wind seemed to be blowing the flowers into Su Zhizhi's net, and soon it was full.
Su Zhizhi poured the petals from the net into the small bamboo basket, repeating this several times until half the basket was filled.
Just as they were about to go back, Dongyue's stomach suddenly started to hurt and she wanted to go to the toilet urgently.
She had been keeping watch outside the house recently and caught a cold at night, causing some stomach discomfort.
Su Zhizhi noticed that something was wrong with Dongyue: "Sister Dongyue, are you going to the toilet?"
Dongyue nodded and shook her head, gritting her teeth and enduring: "It's okay, let's go back and then go up, we'll go back together..."
Bu~
A gentle exhaust sound was heard.
Dongyue's face was flushed, he was bent over, and he started to twist his body when he walked.
As the saying goes, there are three urgent things in life, and the most urgent one is to go to the toilet.
Dongyue finally gave in: "I'm going to the toilet, Zhizhi, come with me."
Su Zhizhi: “Ah?”
Dongyue pulled Su Zhizhi along because it was Su Zhizhi's first time entering the palace and she was really worried about leaving Su Zhizhi alone there.
Dongyue entered the toilet and warned, "Zhizhi, don't wander around."
But how could Su Zhizhi be someone who could just stand still?
She moved a little to the side, not wanting the toilet to stink up the flowers in the bamboo basket.
Move it a little bit, then move it again, and then move it again, and then move it again...
As I moved forward, I saw a locust tree full of flowers.
The locust tree grows inside the red courtyard wall, but most of its crown extends outside the wall.
Su Zhizhi unconsciously took a step forward and walked over there with the bamboo pole and net bag.
The palace road was long and straight, with vermilion walls on both sides cutting off most of the sky.
Su Zhizhi raised her head and stretched the bamboo pole toward the treetops.
Before it touched the treetop, a hand suddenly appeared from the wall and grabbed the bamboo pole!
Su Zhizhi was surprised and pulled the bamboo pole back.
But the other party just won't let go.
As they were pulling back and forth, a girl in her early ten years old climbed up the wall.
Su Zhizhi was puzzled. Why did this person climb over the wall to get out?
The girl jumped down from the wall with a bamboo pole, knocking over Su Zhizhi's bamboo basket, and the collected locust flowers scattered all over the ground.
The spring breeze caused trouble, bringing up a rain of flowers and blowing the petals everywhere.
The girl turned around and ran away.
Su Zhizhi got angry and grabbed the girl:
"You knocked over my flowers."
The girl wanted to run, but Su Zhizhi pulled her backwards with one hand.
In a rage, the girl yelled, "Let go! Which palace are you from? Don't you know who you are?!"
Su Zhizhi still didn't let go, and replied even louder and more forcefully:
"have no idea!"
