After a busy day, it was not until 10 p.m. that the number of patients who came to see the doctor gradually decreased.

But Mu Bu's figure still did not appear.

After seeing the last patient, Zhu Tao put away the medical box, and his face was pale.

She slowly got to the door, leaned against the door a little tiredly, looked in the direction of the Second Prince's Mansion from a distance, thinking about Mu Bu's oath last night, she tried hard to tell herself that he would definitely come, he said that he would definitely come today, and he would not break his promise.

Qing Yang looked at the lonely background of Zhutao, and was extremely distressed and sad.

I feel sorry for her busy day, looking forward to a day, I don't even have to eat, I feel sorry for her lonely expression, which makes people pity, and I feel sorry for the uneasiness and loss in her eyes.

Sad because he finally had to admit the fact that Zhutao had fallen in love with Mubu.

He poured a glass of water, gently brought it to Zhu Tao, and smiled: "Little Tao'er, I'm tired for a day, come and drink some water, Wen Yao will prepare a meal, and we can eat in a while." ”

Zhutao took the teacup listlessly, but did not drink it, his eyes stared in that direction, and he did not move.

"I'm not hungry, the meal is ready, you can eat first."

At this moment, her heart is full of thoughts about Mu Bu.

Why hasn't he come yet? Last night he said he would come early in the morning, why was he still nowhere to be seen at this hour? Zhu Tao's heart suddenly became uneasy, could it be that he had an accident?

Thinking that at the beginning, he was dragged to the yatang because he visited a brothel, it was clearly framed by someone, plus the snakes and killers who suddenly appeared yesterday, it was clear that someone wanted his life, could it be that he encountered some danger last night, so he didn't come today?

Thinking of this, Zhu Tao couldn't sit still anymore, got up suddenly, handed the water cup to Qing Yang, turned around and ran towards the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Little Peach, where are you going?" Knowing her destination, Ke Qingyang still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go and go back." The afterimage of the sunset pulled the shadow of the bamboo peach extremely long, and Qing Yang looked at the long shadow that was thrown by her, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Wen Yao ran to Qing Yang's side and asked with some confusion, "Huh?" Sister Zhutao, where is this going crazy? Why did she run out alone so late? Don't you need dinner anymore? I deliberately ran out to call you and Sister Zhutao to dinner. ”

Qing Yang put the cup of tea in Wen Yao's hand and said softly: "You guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me and your Sister Zhutao." ”

After speaking, he walked towards Zhutao.

At this moment, she must not want him to be by her side, but for her safety, he chose to accompany him silently.

Even if he knew that she was going to find Mu Bu, even if he knew that scene was something he didn't want to see, he still chose to protect her in this way.

Zhu Tao ran all the way to the Second Prince's Mansion, no matter how hard she worked on the road, she didn't dare to stop, but standing in the Second Prince's Mansion, she stayed on the spot.

Standing at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion, you can hear the singing and dancing in the mansion, and the lively and extraordinary sound.

Zhu Tao relieved himself and let out a long breath, the house is so lively, it seems that Mu Bu should not have any accidents. Is this a dinner party? Is there any happy event? Is it because of these things that Mu Bu was delayed, so he can't come to Baozhilin?

Zhutao's eyes were gloomy, if something was delayed and she couldn't come, couldn't she let the subject or Cody come and tell her? Didn't he know she would worry about him?

Looking at the luxurious gold lacquer plaque, Zhu Tao suddenly felt that there was always a gap between her and Mu Bu that could not be crossed.

Obviously, her heart was warmed by him yesterday, and she was cooled by him today.

She sighed softly, and although she kept making excuses for not coming today, she still couldn't convince herself not to care, not to be disappointed.

After standing for a long time, the sound of music and drums in the house became louder, and then she slowly turned around, her expression depressed.

"Doctor Huang!"

As soon as she turned around, she heard someone calling out to her behind her, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see that the subject appeared at the door of the house.

The subject pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is Dr. Huang here?" Why did you come here but didn't enter the house? ”

Among them, he waited for Zhutao at the door early in the morning according to Lin Ling's instructions.

Zhu Tao gently combed her somewhat messy hair, smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "That, that, last night, didn't Mu Bu say that he would come to Bao Zhilin early this morning and help open the store together?" However, I didn't see his figure for a busy day, and he, and he was chased and killed by snakes yesterday, worried about whether something had happened to him.

However, when he heard that the mansion was so lively, he thought that he should have nothing to do, so he didn't go in. ”

Zhu Tao's face was a little red with shame, and her eyes were aggrieved and worried, and she couldn't bear to see it.

The subject closed his eyes a little painfully, and said countless sorry in his heart.

He opened his eyes, smiled, and said: "Don't worry, Doctor Huang, after yesterday's incident, the concubine specially sent many secret guards to His Highness's side, his safety will not be a problem, and the concubine and King Eke have begun to investigate who wants to be unfavorable to His Highness, I believe that there will be a result soon, and you can rest assured." ”

Zhutao nodded, the embarrassment on her face did not decrease, and she said softly, "That's good, that's good, he's fine." ”

"Doctor Huang wants to enter the mansion to see His Highness?" Although I couldn't bear it in my heart, the subject continued to act according to the script set by Lin Ling in advance.

Zhu Tao misses Mubu very much. In the past, she heard that literati often didn't see each other for a day, and she also laughed at them that literati were sour, and when she talked about it, she thought about it, which was extremely exaggerated. Now that she was herself, she knew that it was not an exaggeration.

When I was waiting for Mu Bu, the time really became so long.

When someone sees a doctor and prescribes a prescription, it can be better, and her brain can at least think about other things, but once there is no patient, when her brain is completely calm, it is all Mu Bu, all why he didn't come.

This kind of thinking is simply exhausting.

So the proposal of the subject made her have a moment's heartbeat.

But then, she denied it.

If he really needed her to come, he would have sent someone to send her a post in the morning, but he didn't, which proves that she didn't need to be present at this banquet.

Zhu Tao looked down at her cotton skirt again, and there were ink and medicine residues on her body, such a shabby dress was really not suitable for entering any banquet, and she was afraid that she would lose Mu Bu's face at that time.

Thinking of this, she shook her head, "No, he must be very busy now, there is a banquet in the house, right?" What is so happy that needs to be celebrated? ”

The subject lowered her head, she asked, she finally asked, she still asked, what should he do? Is it according to what Lin Ling taught, or tell her the truth, tell her that the second prince is not in the mansion at all, tell her the music and drums in the mansion, and the cups and drinks in the mansion are just to show her a big show, but to break her up with His Royal Highness.

He seemed to see the red thread between Huang Zhutao and His Highness in his hand, whether it was dismantled or tied in his thoughts.

Dr. Huang is lovely, kind, and deeply loved by His Royal Highness, if he is with His Royal Highness, he will definitely be a pair of fairy couples, he can see that they have affection for each other, and the affection is quite deep, the difference is just timing.

However, his sister, his only sister is still in Lin Ling's hands, if he doesn't do it, his sister is only afraid that her life will not be saved, he, what should he do, what should he do......

Looking at the subject's extremely tangled and painful expression, Zhu Tao called softly: "Subject, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything you can't say? Subjects? ”

Finally, the subject raised his head, looked at the bamboo peach, and made the final decision.

"Doctor Huang, Your Highness, Your Highness is indeed holding a banquet, as for why he is holding this banquet, it is because it is because of ......"

Zhu Tao's curiosity was hooked by the subject, and she smiled lightly: "What is the reason?" A big man, what is there to swallow. ”

"This banquet is to celebrate the engagement between His Royal Highness and Lord Linling, the emperor said that he will be engaged first, and he will give the marriage by holy decree soon, which should be next month at the latest." In the end, family affection still prevailed over everything.

The subject lied to Zhu Tao again.

He silently thought sorry in his heart, but when he saw Zhu Tao's miserable face for a moment, he felt guilty and just wanted to let him go to hell now.

Zhu Tao's brain was blown open by a sentence from the subject.

Betrothal!

Betrothal!

Betrothal!

Her brain only reacted to these two words for a long time.

He also told her yesterday that he would do his best for her and his father and mother, he knew that she would not be a concubine or serve a husband, and would work hard for her, and he also said that for her, he could give up the throne and not have a harem of three thousand.

But today, how can he be betrothed to someone else today?

Was the emperor forcing him? Did the concubine beg him?

But if that's the case, why is he still holding a banquet in the palace?

"Engaged? Is he engaged to someone else? ”

It took a long time for Zhu Tao to make a sound, but he couldn't believe it at all.

The subject nodded helplessly, "Yes, His Royal Highness is engaged to Lord Linling. Early this morning, the concubine announced that His Royal Highness had entered the palace, and the concubine hoped that His Royal Highness could start a family as soon as possible, and hoped that he could marry Lin Ling as his wife. His Royal Highness was reluctant, but the concubine has always been in poor health, and today she was angry with Her Royal Highness, and she almost turned her back on it, and His Royal Highness was helpless, but he only agreed.

Subsequently, the prince of Liao and others knew that His Royal Highness was engaged and wanted to celebrate him, so His Royal Highness agreed. ”

Hehe, Zhu Tao felt a chill when he heard it.

Yesterday, he also said that he would do his best for her and fight for reason, but today, when the concubine was angry, he compromised.

Filial piety to his mother is right, what he shouldn't be is that he can't do it, but he still promised her and gave her infinite hope, but in less than a day, she fell from the clouds to hell, so that she was not just disappointed.

The most incomprehensible thing for the knife is that he, he actually agreed to the proposal of the prince of Liao to hold a banquet, so it seems that he is not excluded from this engagement?

"Hehe......"

Zhu Tao didn't say anything again, laughed, and turned to leave, but the laughter made the subject extremely heartbroken.
