Chapter 285: Delicate
That night, in the East Palace.
The towering palace was made of cloud-top sandalwood beams, with golden palaces, jade steps and red pillars. It was dark outside, but the palace was as bright as day, magnificent and golden.
The strong smell of medicine wrapped in the incense from the incense burner had a strange smell, which made people drowsy after smelling it for a long time.
The silk curtains fluttered in the wind.
With a loud 'pop', the medicine bowl was overturned.
"Your Highness, calm down."
The servants in the palace were so scared that they rolled to the ground, knocked their heads on the ground, and trembled.
Ying Yi on the couch had been ill for a long time, his cheeks were gray, and he lay on the couch on his side, coughing constantly.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Why did you tell me only now that Wei Zhao is not dead?"
He was obviously in his prime, but the back of his hands with protruding veins were covered with brown age spots.
He didn't like Wei Zhao. He
didn't like him since he was a child.
As the crown prince, how could he allow someone who is superior to him in every aspect?
Not to mention him, even my father has lived his whole life under the shadow of Duke Shun and General Jingyuan. Even if those two are dead.
It's ridiculous to say it, the emperors of all generations have to be outdone by the descendants of the Wei family!
The Crown Princess wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
"General Wei must be seriously injured, there is nothing to be afraid of. My father is kind and has summoned all the doctors in the palace to take his pulse."
Kind?
How could Ying Yi not know what kind of virtue Emperor Ying Qian, who is as hypocritical as him, is?
He is obviously afraid that there is a trick and wants to confirm whether Wei Zhao is really ill.
Ying Yi: “What did you say?”
The Crown Princess told him everything she knew: “The Emperor’s Yangxin Palace has kept this a secret, but I sent people to the Imperial Hospital to inquire. Among them, there is an imperial physician named Zheng Xu who has not been used for many years. He received bribes and revealed privately that Wei Zhao’s pulse was chaotic and weak, and his foundation had been damaged. His body is like this, and he can’t even eat. I’m afraid it will shorten his life.”
The Crown Princess saw that his brows relaxed: “This is a happy event. As long as Ge Lao rushes over, you will recover, and the fifth prince will not dare to covet the Eastern Palace.”
“The fifth prince is really hateful! If he hadn’t stopped me, I’m afraid Ge Lao would have been in the Eastern Palace a long time ago. He delayed your highness’s illness, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that he was plotting to murder the crown prince. But my father…”
Although it was in the Eastern Palace, these words were disrespectful.
The Crown Princess didn’t continue. But everyone knew that she was blaming the emperor for paying too much attention to the fifth prince Ying Yin!
She was pregnant, her eyes were haggard, but she was happy.
Only when His Highness is well, she and her unborn child will have something to rely on. When Ying Yi
heard the Crown Princess mention the Fifth Prince Ying Yin, his complexion improved slightly.
Yes, nothing is more important than curing him.
Only when he is well, can he secure his position as the Crown Prince and continue to fight with Ying Yin.
He cannot get into trouble, and it is not good to be at odds with Wei Zhao.
Ying Yi suppressed the turbidity in his heart.
He put on his usual mask of kindness.
"I am very happy that Guizhi is back. He is also very concerned about Ge Lao's affairs. You can go to the warehouse and send some medicinal herbs over as a token of your thoughtfulness."
What should I send?
It can't be bad.
"I have a 500-year-old ginseng in my private storehouse. I'll give it to Guizhi to nourish his body. As for the others, you can add as you like."
The Crown Princess agreed, and then said, "I heard that he brought back a new wife this time. She's from a small place and I'm afraid she can't even read. I don't know how many jokes she will cause in the future."
"But the etiquette of the Eastern Palace cannot be lacking. In addition to the medicinal materials, I will also send a pair of bracelets."
Ying Yi was satisfied with her arrangement: "Okay."
The Crown Princess was about to ask someone to go to the storehouse to get it.
The servant who was in charge of the private storehouse asked for an audience with a solemn and terrified look on his face. After being notified and allowed to enter, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness, the Tianshan Snow Lotus and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum in your private storehouse are missing!"
Ying Yi: ? ? ?
The Crown Princess stood up suddenly: "What!"
The Tianshan Snow Lotus was obtained from the Western Regions with great difficulty. There are only a few plants every year, and the quality is very poor. The hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is good, but the thousand- year-old Ganoderma lucidum
is hard to find. That is what Ying Yi uses to save his life!
————
The dusk is heavy. Wei Zhao came back from outside, walking leisurely in the garden, as if he just went out for a walk, and handed the easily stolen Tianshan Snow Lotus and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to Shunzi. "Send someone to send it to Ying Fuyan." Shunzi respectfully said: "Yes." Wei Zhao went inside: "It is said that the imperial palace is heavily guarded. " Shunzi was nervous: "Are you injured?" It is indeed heavily guarded! Otherwise, why didn't he do this kind of thing. Even if Chi Yu went there, I am afraid there might be mistakes. From the palace gate to the East Palace, the East Palace is heavily guarded, and the crown prince's private treasury is no less guarded. Wei Zhao said lightly, "But I don't believe this..." Shunzi: ... Wei Zhao left these words and walked into Lan Garden. The lights were on in the house. Maybe he asked too much before he went out, the girl was sleeping soundly. Wei Zhao was not sleepy. He sat at the head of the bed and twisted her quilt. His fingertips rested on the red plums sucked from the girl's neck for a while, and then he went to the desk to handle official business. Time passed by little by little. Yu Tingwan slept uneasily. There seemed to be chaotic footsteps in her ears. ["Is it her? How can a country girl be worth so much effort?"] ["Why ask so many questions? The superiors specifically asked her to die, why don't you do it quickly?"] Who are they going to kill? Yu Tingwan felt uneasy. But she seemed to hear someone calling. The voice was ethereal, as if it was not in the same time and space. 【“I brought you a few plates of snacks this time, and a small jar of plum blossom wine, which was brewed by my father himself. It’s not too strong, and it’s perfect for a girl to drink.”】 【“I don’t know if these snacks are to your liking.”】 【“I heard that you’re not picky about food and eat everything, but I don’t believe it.”】 【“Your mother was picky when you were born. Today she likes to eat eight-treasure duck, but tomorrow she says she’s sick of it. She asked for sour jujube cake one day, and then she turned around and said she wanted to eat candied haws at the corner of the street. She had to eat candied haws made by the peddler named Yang with a wooden sign and a windmill on his hat. If she tried it from another store, she would say it didn’t taste right.”】 How could she not be picky? She just experienced the pain of not having enough food. The man’s voice was lost. 【“Your mother and I said that this must be a delicate girl.”】 He said delicate, not squeamish. 【"Your mother is not good at housework, but she invited a maid from the Empress Dowager's palace who is good at embroidery to learn to sew clothes for you when you are born, including cloud shoulders, bibs, tiger-head hats, and socks. I'm afraid the preparations are not enough."】 【"But..."】 【"It's a pity that you can't wear them."】 【"Dad is still late."】 Suddenly, the voice changed. It was familiar, and I had heard it during the day. It belonged to Princess Jiashan, the mistress of the Gu family. 【"At this time of year every year, his father-in-law Gu doesn't come home five out of ten times. I know that he is valued by the emperor and is busy with official duties. He never cares if he can't make it to Awu's birthday."】
