Chapter Twenty-Nine: The King of Chu Falls Ill
Under the service of Zhao Changshi, the king of Chu swallowed a large bowl of decoction with a painful face, and scolded with great annoyance, "This group of quacks, I am afraid that the widows will not be able to escape the torture of this bitter medicine in this life."

Zhao Changshou also knew that the older the King of Chu was, the more he loved to lose his temper like a child, so he didn't dare to answer casually, but just smiled and ordered someone to light incense to help calm his nerves.
Hearing this, a little chamberlain picked up a box of spices, scooped a small piece with a golden spoon, then opened the lid of the stove and put it in, dialed the spices in the smoker of Jiuding red gold in the hall, and the fragrant smoke swirled in the room, and then exited the room in a regular manner.
The king of Chu, who was half leaning on the gums, was drowsy when he heard this, and asked casually, "What kind of fragrance is this? Why is it so ......quiet?"
"Back to the king's words, this is the new benzoin made by the imperial doctor. Zhao Changshi, who had been standing there, replied, "It has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep." ”
"Well, this group of quacks is still somewhat useful. I will order it every night in the future, and when I smell it, the widow's head will not hurt anymore, and I guess I will never have to dream of those screams again this night. After finishing speaking, the king of Chu was already asleep.
"Yes. Zhao Changshou agreed when he heard this, and then quietly bowed and exited the inner room.
But this sleep was past noon, and he still didn't wake up, Zhao Changshou saw that the hour should be a meal, so he reminded the king of Chu in a loud voice, "King, it's time to eat." ”
But after calling four or five times in a row, the king of Chu, who was often awakened by the screams in the middle of the night in the past few days, just never woke up.
"That's weird. ”
Sweeping the dust, he changed his hand and gently pushed the royal body of King Chu, "King, it's time to wake up." After pushing like this two or three times, the King of Chu still didn't wake up, which frightened Zhao Changshi, and he had the courage to push again, but there was still no sign of soberness, could it be that the King of Chu's condition had worsened in the past few days, so he immediately summoned the imperial doctor.
When the entire imperial hospital heard this, they immediately rushed to the palace of the king of Chu, and Zheng Yuan first put the pulse on the left and the pulse on the right, but there were no abnormal symptoms, and even the pulse was stable, and pressed the acupuncture points with his fingers, the king of Chu still did not wake up, and so on, it still didn't work. If the king of Chu doesn't give it to him, then the lives of his whole family will not be suspended!
Ordered one by one the imperial doctors to step forward one after another, "It's really strange, the king's pulse is stable, and there is nothing unusual, why can't he wake up?" Zhao Changshi, what different things did the king use today. ”
Zhao Changshou didn't dare to answer casually, only said, "Today, all the decoction is normal, this medicine was fried by Imperial Doctor Zhao himself, and the only difference is that the day before yesterday, Zheng Yuan first prepared a soothing incense, and today the slave family ordered someone to light it, and the king praised this incense at that time to calm the nerves and relieve the pain, and then he couldn't wake up." But what's wrong with this incense?"
When Zheng Yuan heard this, he was shocked, and quickly ordered the person to rest the benzoin, then opened the incense burner, took a long golden spoon, picked out the incense that was almost not burned, and put it between his nose and sniffed it, "It doesn't seem to be abnormal, and the imperial doctors also stepped forward to smell it, but it is different." ”
Everyone smelled it one by one, and even ran through the remaining ashes with their hands, and they all shook their heads, "It's not unusual." ”
"Benzoin is a cure for stroke and fainting, why do you fall asleep after smelling it, this is impossible. Zheng Yuan said, "Why don't we wait for a while and a half, and then see the situation." ”
"This ...... The slave family does not dare to be the master...... Why don't you ask the princess to be the master!" Zhao Changshou didn't dare to take this responsibility, so he ordered someone to immediately bring the word to the Ziyan Palace, and soon Princess Wu's Luan arrived at the car.
Before entering the door, I heard Princess Wu's charming and lazy female voice, with thunderous anger, loudly in, "How do you all serve the king?!"
When everyone heard this, they knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The slave deserves to die!"
"Damn it!"
"It's not a pity for you to die 10,000 ways, if the king loses!" Princess Wu sat anxiously on the edge of the tooth bed with the support of Mama Liu, looking at the unconscious King Chu on the bed with a worried face, and the purple beads in her hands were clenched very tightly.
Mama Liu whispered on the side, "Niangniang, don't hurt your body! The urgency of the delay is not only for all the imperial doctors to quickly find out the symptoms, but also to immediately announce that a few princesses have come to serve the sick!"
"Hongu is also in a hurry. Princess Wu sighed, her eyes fell on Zhao Changshou, and she said quietly, "Zhao Changshou, this palace heard that the eldest princess and the second princess are out of the palace today, do you think it is time to hurry up and recall the two princesses, and then announce all the princesses." ”
What Niangniang said was very true, and the slave immediately sent someone to find the two princesses back to the palace. Zhao Changshi, who has been in the deep palace for a long time, sighed in his heart when he heard this, this battle for the heir has begun, if the eldest princess can't come back, wouldn't it...... He couldn't imagine it, so he could only pray that the king of Chu would never have anything to do, and he still wanted to raise his old age.
So Zhao Changshou sent two small teams of forbidden troops to the outskirts of East Lake to give orders, and when one team was halfway through, they received the second princess Mi Xuan, who turned back halfway, and the other team heard that they went to the edge of East Lake, so they continued to search.
On the East Lake, at this time, there are Chu girls ringing the bells, there are beautiful prostitutes singing and dancing, and the extravagant tunes of drums and sheng are sounding, and the sound is spread on the entire lake, echoing for a long time.
On the second floor of the painting boat, at this time, the staggered and cheerful voices were heard, and under Zhao Ming's strings, everyone toasted to Mihuang. It was the first time for Mi Huang to encounter such a warm invitation, how could she not be, but Ruo Ao Ziyan patted the back of her hand with a smile, and said slowly, "Princess, wait, Yan hasn't been the first to salute you, how can you drink other people's wine first." After finishing speaking, he commanded, "Qingpu, change my set of gold bottles." ”
"Yes, Childe. Qingpu held the bottle, and the piano held the pot, filling the golden bottle in front of the two with wine.
Holding the gold bottle, he lightly buttoned it with his fingers, and said solemnly in a low voice, "Yan is here to drink first, and I wish the princess all the best in the future." If Ao Ziyan raises his glass and smiles, and elegantly leads his neck, the raised white jaw is like a natural and flawless Yan Gui, and its unparalleled elegance is overwhelming.
"Okay, let's do it!" Ye Xiangru and the others coaxed down below and did it together.
"Haha......"
In the midst of countless laughter, a deep and elegant voice slipped past my ears one by one, and I don't know which sentence produced what kind of throbbing. The long eyelashes trembled slightly, the man's eyes lifted slightly, and he raised his head to meet the shallow gaze of the graceful man beside him.
A firm light bloomed from those slender eyes, and under his hand, he got up elegantly, picked up another gold bottle, looked at each other and said, "Okay, this cup is a phoenix to pay tribute to Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi can be satisfied with everything!"
It's all in this glass of wine, and there is not a drop left.
The two raised their glasses and looked at each other and smiled.
Looking at the man standing opposite, Mi Huang held the cup and smiled lightly for a long time.
"What does the princess think of today?"
"Very good!" can no longer be described except for those two words.
"Then how do you thank Yan!" Ruo Ziyan stood with a smile on his shoulder.
Mi Huang lowered his head and pondered, not knowing how to answer, such a heavy favor, what can he repay, promise him a prosperous life or the entire Chu country?
Ruo Ziyan looked at the woman who was rarely racking her brains, stroked her forehead, and sighed with a chuckle, "Huang'er, between you and me, how can you thank you?"
"Well, colt. Mi Huang lowered his head and hummed softly, feeling the faint temperature on the tips of the gently caressing fingers on the top of his hair, and the gold bottle in his hand was lightly grasped.
Seeing such a low-eyed and pleasing phoenix, if Ao Ziyan smiled, he felt that today's trip was worthwhile.
"Princess, the king is sick!"
"Zhao Changshi, please return to the palace quickly!" A sudden urgent report broke the joy, and I saw that the person who came was a young herald dressed in an internal service uniform, led by a middle-aged steward.
Everyone looked at each other, the king of Chu was sick, and they had to send the news home as soon as possible.
If Ao Ziyan was the first to react when he heard the voice, "Is there a token?"
The herald handed over the palace talisman as he said, "Princess, this is the villain's herald." ”
Ruo Ziyan took it in his hand and looked at it, and confirmed that although the king of Chu had been ill for a long time, he always felt that this illness came quite strangely and very suddenly.
And Mi Huang almost didn't have any doubts when she heard this sentence, according to the memory of her previous life, at this time the king of Chu was indeed seriously ill, although she didn't know the exact time in her previous life, but it was probably around this period, all the joy was suddenly collected, and she said solemnly and slightly, "Okay, this princess will go back to the palace with you immediately." Siqin, Sijian. ”
"Yes, princess!"
"Let's go back to the palace first! Everyone, let's meet again another day!"
"Princess, it's better for Yan to send you back to the palace first!" Ruo Ao Ziyan said, but Mi Huang shook his head firmly, "If you are not a heavy minister, you will not be allowed to enter the palace without being summoned." Besides, with so many guests present, how could you and I, as the hosts, not be left behind. Childe is at ease here, and Huang will naturally be informed immediately if he has news. Before leaving, Mi Huang glanced back at the man standing in the upper seat again, and then left with the herald.
The middle-aged steward instructed, "Prepare the fastest boat for the princesses and send them ashore." ”
"Yes!" a boatman hastened to make arrangements.
"Congratulations to the princess!" everyone saluted, and watched the three of them and the herald leave in a hurry.
When Mi Huang left, the young ladies who heard the news had no intention of staying longer, and even Ye Xiangru was very bored, and after half an hour, everyone finished eating, and did not play games such as the wine order, so they left one after another for various reasons, and for a while, there were only four people left in the lobby, Xue'er and Cheng Jia, who were complacent, as well as Cheng Qingqing and Wang Shiyu.
Xue'er blinked her beautiful eyes, looked left and right, and said, "Why did everyone say that they were all gone at once." The good banquet is not over yet, Brother Jia, there are only you and I left, Sister Qing'er, Sister Shiyu. ”
Cheng Jia looked at Xue'er opposite, shook his head and whispered, "Xue'er, eat slowly, there is nothing to do left and right, your eldest brother's dusty fang is not a casual entertainment for outsiders, we naturally have to have a good tour before leaving." With that, he got up and walked towards Ziyan, who was standing by the window.
"Okay, Brother Jia. Xue'er nodded frequently with a puffed out of her little face, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Brother Jia who was wearing a moon-silver and blue moon-patterned robe on the opposite side, and under a pair of slender willow eyebrows, her black eyes were like a pool of turquoise water, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and she smiled kindly at all times, and sighed in her heart, Brother Jia is really much better than her own brother, and she is too gentle, I really want to have such a brother.
