Chapter 168 The Prince is Sick
Xiao Xixi suddenly had an idea: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't want to marry a Crown Princess, why not try another method?"
Luo Qinghan: "What can you do?"
"You're pretending to be sick. If you're sick, you won't be able to attend that blind date convention."
Xiao Xixi stood up as she spoke.
She ran up to him and took out an exquisite little porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
"This is a Qi deficiency pill made by my master. Taking it will make your body weak, as if you are sick. Each pill can last for twelve hours. Once the effect of the pill wears off, you will be able to recover immediately. It is absolutely safe and has no side effects."
Luo Qinghan took the small porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.
The pill is dark brown and very small. From the appearance, it looks no different from ordinary pills.
Xiao Xixi said, "You just need to take a Qi-deficiency pill before attending the blind date conference. I don't believe they can ignore your health and force you to go on a blind date despite your illness."
Luo Qinghan: "You think things are too simple. Even if I am sick and cannot attend the banquet, they can still choose a princess for me."
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes wide: "Don't they need to ask for your opinion?"
"They don't care about my opinion. My attendance at the banquet is just a formality. In the end, the one who makes the final decision is not me. It doesn't matter whether I can attend the banquet or not."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "If that's the case, then why did you ask me if I was willing to be the Crown Princess? According to what you said, even if I agreed to be the Crown Princess, you couldn't make up your mind."
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "I was just teasing you just now."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so mean that he actually plays such a joke on others.
Fortunately, she didn't agree just now, otherwise she would have been fooled.
Luo Qinghan picked up a Qi-deficiency pill and said meaningfully, "Although your idea is full of mistakes, it is not completely without merit."
He opened his thin lips slightly and swallowed the Qixu Pill.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes wide: "Why did you take the medicine now?"
Luo Qinghan put the small porcelain bottle into his sleeve and said calmly, "If I get sick right before the banquet is about to start, the timing will be too coincidental and people will be suspicious. Since I want to pretend to be sick, I have to start now."
Xiao Xixi counted on her fingers.
"There's still about half a month between now and the Beauty Banquet. Do you want to pretend to be sick for that long?"
"Um."
According to Xiao Xixi, as long as one takes a Qixu pill, the body will become weak and look like a serious illness. Even if the imperial physician comes to check, he may not be able to find out the real cause.
But years of experience have taught Luo Qinghan that no matter what he does, he should never rely on luck.
That night, he got out of bed while everyone was asleep, quietly opened the window, and stood quietly by the window wearing only thin pajamas to enjoy the breeze.
It's already autumn.
It is still warm during the day, but it is quite cold at night, and the wind makes me feel cold.
He had taken the Qi-Deficiency Pill, and his body was already weak. Plus, he had been blown by the cold wind for half the night, so as expected, he felt unwell.
The next day was the time for the grand court session, but Luo Qinghan, the crown prince, was absent.
Because he is sick.
The prince's illness is no small matter.
The emperor, the empress, and the queen mother all sent people to the Eastern Palace to visit the prince, and the three most skilled old doctors in the Imperial Hospital gathered in the Eastern Palace.
When Concubine Bai, Chen Liangyuan, Concubine Zhao and other concubines heard that the prince was ill, they were all extremely worried and rushed to the Linde Palace.
