As soon as Su Ruojin finished speaking, Yun Hao, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
Su Ruojin sat down. "What happened?"
She had just diagnosed that the reason Yun Hao was unconscious was simply because he had taken the Dream Pill she had given him.
This medicine has only one effect: it can make a person unconscious for three days. Apart from a cold, no other cause can be found. Yun Hao specifically asked her for it before.
Previously, Granny Kong had mentioned the duration of Yun Hao's coma, and Su Ruojin calculated that the effects of the medicine had already passed.
Yun Hao was unwilling to open his eyes simply because he didn't want to "wake up" for the time being.
Anyway, the Dreamy Pill will disguise a person's pulse as a cold, and even if the effects of the medicine wear off and he is unwilling to "wake up", this pulse can still be maintained for several hours.
Yun Hao slowly opened his mouth, "My mother wants me to marry Minister Jia's daughter as a concubine. I can only use this trick to delay for a while. Everyone knows that Minister Jia is Empress Sun's man. If I really marry her, how can there be any peace in the harem?"
During dinner that day, Empress Sun brought up the matter with Yun Hao, seemingly wanting him to agree on the spot. Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Yun Hao resorted to this tactic.
Jia Shangshu's daughter?
That Jia Yingying?
Su Ruojin smiled slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Jia is truly devoted to the First Prince. But won't Empress Sun suspect something if you do this?"
Empress Sun had just mentioned taking a concubine when Yun Hao was stunned. What a coincidence!
Yun Hao smiled and said, "I believe in the princess."
His implication was that he believed no one could detect the presence of the medicine Su Ruojin had given him.
Since no one could find out, even if Empress Sun had suspicions, she couldn't find any evidence.
"You can dodge the first day of the month, but can you dodge the fifteenth?" Su Ruojin asked, somewhat puzzled.
The Dream Pill can only make a person unconscious for three days. Even if he survives these three days, Empress Sun can still force Yun Hao to marry Jia Yingying.
"Of course I cannot refuse my mother's arrangement, but Jia Yingying has a million reasons not to marry me. Just pick one," Yun Hao said casually.
Su Ruojin understood.
If Yun Hao could avoid Empress Sun's aggressive pressure and buy himself some time, he would have a way to ensure that Jia Yingying could never become his princess consort.
"But I just saw that Empress Sun really wanted to cure you. Was she so eager just to get you to marry Jia Yingying?" Su Ruojin asked, somewhat puzzled.
It doesn't look quite right no matter how you look at it.
On the other side, the young palace maid whispered a few words in Granny Kong's ear, and Granny Kong nodded and returned to Empress Sun's side.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has entered the palace and gone to the Zichen Palace."
Empress Sun stroked the rim of the teacup in her hand with her fingers. "It seems that the third prince's leg is almost healed. Go and see if the second prince has woken up yet."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Granny Kong arrived at the side hall and saw that Yun Hao had woken up, she was very happy. "Second Prince, you're awake? Her Majesty wants you to come over."
Yun Hao weakly stood up. "I'll be right there."
After thanking Su Ruojin, Granny Kong was about to send her out of the palace when Yun Hao stopped her.
"Granny Kong, I still feel a little unwell. Why don't you let the princess stay a little longer, and let her help me adjust after I've seen the Empress Dowager?"
Granny Kong looked troubled, and Su Ruojin spoke up at the right time: "Granny Kong, I will stay in this room and not go out. When the Second Prince comes back, I will give him acupuncture. It won't take long."
Hearing this, Granny Kong could no longer refuse and could only nod.
