Chapter 9: Faking Illness for Freedom
The next day, the emperor issued a decree.
On the seventh auspicious day of the first month of August, Qiao Mingyue married Qi Jingyun, the king of Jin.
The Qiao family received the holy decree, and there was a joyful atmosphere in the house from top to bottom.
Except for Qiao Mingyue.
Finished.
The holy decree has come down, if she doesn't marry, it will be a rebellion, not only will she have to cut off her head, but the entire general's mansion will be affected by this.
"Miss, it's cold in the autumn night, so I still close the window, be careful of frostbite." Chunyu saw Qiao Mingyue standing at the window wearing only thin bedclothes, and immediately came to persuade her.
Qiao Mingyue lay on the bed in silence.
Qi Jingyun, why did he have to marry her?
What did he like about her, or what did he want?
Her father has a bit of military power in his hands, but Yungui has not been in war for thirty years, so he has not made any military achievements, and he is not valued in front of the emperor.
If Qi Jingyun wants to win over the generals, he should go to Dingguo Gong, or General Shen, who has been brave for generations.
If you don't want military power, you don't want to plan your future, is it interesting to quarrel with her?
He...... Wouldn't she be a good man, I want to find her as a wife!
After a night of cranky thinking, the next day, she fell ill.
Fever, chills, talking nonsense.
The eldest lady invited the doctor to come and see her, saying that she had a cold and prescribed medicine.
But seven or eight days have passed, and Qiao Mingyue's illness has not only not improved, but has become more serious.
Qiao Mingyue became more and more haggard, more when she fell asleep and less when she was awake, the eldest lady pulled Qiao Guangwu to wipe her tears: "If you don't invite a big fairy to take a look, it won't be ...... Hit something! ”
The eldest lord Qiao Guangwu frowned sadly, the emperor had just given the two children a marriage, and his daughter fell ill.
When he was sick, he saw a lot of strange things, and he also thought it was evil.
Could it be that the royal extravagance cannot be suppressed? Or maybe someone is behind it?
Before Daxian could invite him, King Jin arrived.
He ignored the obstruction of the general's subordinates and went straight to Qiao Mingyue's boudoir.
The maids in the house were busy avoiding it, and Jasper closed the tent even more quickly.
"Your Highness, although there is a holy decree to give marriage, but you broke in like this......" The eldest lord blocked King Jin out of the room and bowed his hand.
He now sees King Jin as an eyesore, and he still wants to regret his marriage.
King Jin picked up the eldest lord and said sincerely: "General Qiao, this king heard that Miss is sick, and specially invited Dr. Lin from Luzhou to treat Miss, and he will definitely be able to cure Miss!" ”
Doctor Lin is a well-known doctor in Luzhou, and it is rumored that he can live and die, and his flesh and bones are white.
The eldest lady shed tears again, "The prince has a heart, and it is also my family's blessings, and I see that I will get married in five or six days, if this disease is not cured...... Please also forgive me, this marriage is better to discuss again. ”
Before, whether he was a doctor or a miracle doctor, she had seen a lot, and she still wanted to quickly invite Daxian to take a look.
It doesn't matter what she marries the royal family, what matters is her daughter's life.
King Jin pursed his lips, Xu is atmosphere in the room was too depressing, and his voice sank: "Miss's illness is important, let's let the doctor check the pulse first." ”
After that, he introduced Doctor Lin to the eldest lady and Qiao Guangwu.
He was kind-hearted, and he was the prince, and the eldest lady and Qiao Guangwu were not easy to refuse, so they had to take someone into the inner room.
on the bed.
Qiao Mingyue was still asleep in a daze.
Qi Jingyun opened the tent and looked at the woman on the bed, and his heart suddenly became empty.
The woman's face turned even paler, her lips were not bloody, and her delicate brows were slightly frowned, as if she was very unstable.
How...... So sick?
The divine doctor was an old man in his fifties, who had diagnosed Qiao Mingyue's pulse and prescribed a prescription after consideration.
"Miss is worried too much, she has caused a cold, take a few doses of medicine, and it will be fine."
It's similar to what the imperial doctor said before.
Qi Jingyun looked at the prescription and frowned slightly: "It's so simple? ”
"It depends on His Highness's sincerity."
Everyone was puzzled, and when they got outside, Doctor Lin stroked his beard and explained: "The villain has seen a case similar to Miss before, the patient's onset time is before he is about to get married, and the things of marriage are complicated and complicated, and the patient is exhausted, so he needs external medicine, heart disease and heart treatment, and he can be cured." ”
The eldest lady and Qiao Guangwu looked at each other, heart disease?
Her daughter has always had a straightforward personality, and she is also willing to marry this marriage, so how can she inquire about King Jin's preferences?
So, what heart disease can Qiao Mingyue have?
Qi Jingyun looked at the curtain in the inner room, thoughtful.
He seemed to know why she was sick.
In the inner room.
Biyu stood at the door, Chunyu stood beside the bed, lifted the curtain, and lowered her voice: "Miss, everyone is leaving, let's eat something." ”
Qiao Mingyue opened her eyes, took out the half-eaten pastry from under the pillow, and took a sullen bite.
I'm so tired from pretending to be sick!
It's all Qi Jingyun's bastard short-lived ghost, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have used this lame method to escape marriage.
The emperor gave marriage, she didn't believe that Qi Jingyun had to marry hard when she saw that everyone was sick and died.
Pass this first, and later-
Compared to the entire general's mansion being affected by Qi Jingyun, she doesn't mind pretending to be sick for another three years and five years.
Chunyu couldn't help but sigh when she saw that her young lady looked tired.
During this time, she and Biyu have said everything and thought of everything, but the young lady has a particularly tough attitude towards this marriage, and even let go, who will persuade her, leave the yard.
The three of them grew up together, what should I do, I can only help mess around together.
She sat on the edge of the bed and pinched Qiao Mingyue's legs: "Miss has been drinking that medicine, is it really okay for the body?" ”
Jasper also looked sad.
Qiao Mingyue comforted them: "I have a few things in my heart about your young lady, don't worry, I will live to be at least a hundred years old." ”
When the eldest lady and Qi Jingyun were gone, Qiao Mingyue still walked around the house a few times, moving her muscles.
In the afternoon, Biyu went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, and just after adding water, a purple figure suddenly appeared behind her.
"Is this the prescription prescribed by Doctor Lin?"
When Biyu heard a low voice behind her, her hands shook in fright, and she almost smashed the lid of the medicine jar.
Turning her head, Qi Jingyun's face that was enough to amaze all beings appeared in front of her, and she hurriedly saluted: "His Royal Highness King Jin." ”
Qi Jingyun let out a casual "um", stirring the medicinal materials in the medicine jar with chopsticks.
Biyu's palms were sweating: "Your Highness, this medicine is boiled according to Doctor Lin's prescription, the small kitchen is dirty, if you have any orders, let the slaves come." ”
"In the future, your young lady's medicine, this king will boil it personally, you go to help Steward Zheng clean up the Xinuan Pavilion, your young lady is sick, this king is distressed, he will take care of her body, and he will live there."
Qi Jingyun checked the medicinal materials in the medicine jar, seemed to be quite satisfied, and ordered.
Biyu was even more frightened, her face turned pale, and she came out of the small kitchen, and heard that King Jin stayed in the mansion, and it was the eldest lord and eldest lady who agreed, so she hurriedly told Qiao Mingyue the news.
Qiao Mingyue was a little dumbfounded: "He is a prince, he has nothing to do, and he wants to take care of me?" ”
Jasper nodded heavily.
"His Royal Highness King Jin! Miss asleep, you wait......"
There was the sound of spring rain outside, and then the curtain of the door flickered, and the purple figure fluttered.
Qiao Mingyue didn't have time to lie down, so she had to pretend to be weak and droop her eyelids and lean on Biyu's arms.
Qi Jingyun sat on the edge of the bed with medicine, followed by a nervous spring rain beside him.
The room was silent.
He was originally a wanton and dazzling person, and he was the emperor's favorite son, and he was the dream person of the spring boudoir of the women in the capital.
At this time, he stirred the black-brown decoction with a spoon, scooped a tablespoon of the medicinal juice, and blew it carefully, gently and thoughtfully, and sent the medicinal juice to Qiao Mingyue's lips, and his voice was bewitching: "Sister Mingyue, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
