In the huge dormitory, the room is full of medicinal fragrance.

Changsheng turned his hands behind his back, stood in the outer hall, lowered his eyes and looked at the imperial doctors who were sorting out the medicinal materials, and said with a cold expression: "After taking medicine for so long, why hasn't my father's body improved at all?" ”

Jiao Changqing was not there, and the imperial doctors were all submissive and vague when they answered, and they couldn't say why they came for a long time.

The expression on Changsheng's face became even more gloomy.

After a while, Jiao Changqing bowed down and withdrew from the inner hall, looking tired and sweating on his forehead. He had just given the emperor an injection, and he was exhausted at this time.

Changsheng looked at him with raised eyebrows: "What is the condition of my father?" ”

Jiao Changqing glanced up at him, then bowed down and made a "please" gesture.

Before Changsheng saw his father, he said, "I'm going to go in and have a look." ”

Jiao Changqing implicitly blocked: "Your Highness is unconscious at this time, it's better for Your Highness not to go." ”

"Wei Chen should accompany His Highness to the courtyard for a walk."

Changsheng looked at him with a calm face, and finally bowed his head lightly.

The two came to the courtyard, and Jiao Changqing followed behind His Highness.

After walking for a while, Changsheng stopped and turned to look at him. "Jiao Changqing, can you tell me the truth? What is the condition of my father? ”

Jiao Changqing said calmly: "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor's condition is capricious, and it is difficult for Weichen to diagnose the disease......"

As soon as he said a word, Changsheng categorically interrupted, twisted his eyebrows and reprimanded: "Don't perfunctory me!" I want to hear the truth. ”

Jiao Changqing still didn't change his face, but changed his serious tone and said: "Weichen is incompetent, and now Weichen can only save the emperor's life, but he can't make him regain his senses." The emperor was killed by traitors back then, and the cold poison invaded his body, leaving a curse. ”

"Your Highness, the emperor's illness is a vicious illness that has accumulated over many years. It is almost impossible to heal. ”

Hearing this, Changsheng slowly raised his eyes: "What do you mean...... Will my father be so unconscious all the time? ”

Jiao Changqing looked at him deeply: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

As soon as these words came out, Changsheng's ears were like a huge thunderbolt, shaking his whole person, and his whole heart trembled slightly.

My father couldn't wake up anymore. All he had left was an empty shell......

Changsheng looked at him with a heavy heart and asked, "Jiao Changqing, aren't you a divine doctor alive?" For so many years, you can cure big and small diseases? Why can't I heal my father......?"

There was doubt in his tone, suspicion of him. But he had no reason to doubt him, he was the most important person in the queen mother, and the person she trusted the most. Doubting his motives is not the same as doubting the queen mother!

Jiao Changqing didn't defend himself, just knelt on his knees and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Weichen is incompetent." ”

Admitting one's own incompetence is the best cover-up.

Changsheng looked at him coldly, threw up his sleeves and left, no longer speaking.

Jiao Changqing watched His Royal Highness's back go away, and said to himself in a half-loud voice: "If the emperor doesn't wake up, the mother can be safe." When will you understand the truth of this filth, my Highness the Crown Prince......"

Because of his father's affairs, Changsheng was a little upset, and when he reviewed the folds, he felt even more headache when he looked at the difficult things in various states and counties.

Xiao Chunzi was waiting on the side, and when she saw that her master's face was not good, she thought about making a cup of tea.

Just thinking about it, Miss Shen Dan came.

"This is Qingxin tea, Your Highness, please use it."

When Changsheng saw her coming, his eyebrows eased slightly, he looked at the tea bowl on the table, and only said, "Change it to sake." ”

Shen Dan was slightly stunned when he heard this. "Your Highness, do you want to drink?"

He rarely drinks during the day, and he's still here.

Changsheng's heart was very upset, as if he was blocked by something.

Shen Dan hurriedly replaced him with sake, as usual, she wanted to test the poison first, who knows, His Royal Highness directly picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, raised his head and drank it.

His preoccupied look made Shen Dan very distressed.

She wanted to talk to him, but she didn't want to disturb his purity.

After Changsheng drank slightly drunk, Xiao Chunzi arranged for a sedan chair to send him back to the palace.

Xie Zhenzhen was worried about what clothes to wear, but saw the prince come back drunk.

"Your Highness, this is ......" Xie Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped forward, and when she saw Shen Dan walking with him, she couldn't help but turn her head and ask her, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Dan shook his head. She didn't know anything either.

The little palace maids set up the copper basin for washing their faces, and Xie Zhenzhen personally served the prince to freshen up, not letting Shen Dan have a chance to interfere.

Changsheng took advantage of the drunkenness to lie down on the bed, and after a while, he turned over and seemed to be asleep.

Shen Dan stood beside him, his eyes full of concern.

Xie Zhenzhen ordered softly: "You go down first." Don't disturb Your Highness's rest. ”

Shen Dan didn't listen, but said: "After the slave maid has tried the sobering soup for His Royal Highness, the slave and maid will retreat." ”

She must always stay by His Highness's side, and this rule will not change for anyone.

Xie Zhenzhen's eyes changed suddenly when she heard this. "Are you disobeying me?"

"The slave didn't dare...... It's just that the rules of the womb have always been like this. Shen Dan was neither humble nor arrogant, standing still and not moving.

Xie Zhenzhen stared at her, and was about to speak, but heard the prince say lightly: "Let her stay." ”

These short and powerful four words, like a slap in the face, hit Xie Zhenzhen heavily in the face.

She bit her lower lip hard, then stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then let Shen Dan serve His Highness." ”

Xie Zhenzhen thought that she wouldn't care, but who knows, she still minds, and she minds Shen Dan's existence very much.

The prince was still drunk, so Xie Zhenzhen got up and left, looking a little negative and left.

Shen Dan caught up with two steps, but suddenly stopped, if she caught up, the crown princess would probably be even more angry.

She turned to look at the bed, but the prince was still resting with his eyes closed, and did not seem to care.

After Xie Zhenzhen left the palace, she went straight to Cining Palace, she was going to see the queen.

She is the person arranged by the queen mother, so she naturally has to listen to the queen mother's words.

When Meng Xilan saw the crown princess coming suddenly, she knew that she had something, so she only asked Baozhu to put the curtain away, so she invited her over.

"Queen Mother......" Who knows, as soon as Xie Zhenzhen came in, she knelt down with a face full of grievances, "Queen Mother, my sons are so wronged." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and asked through the curtain: "Good boy, get up and talk, what's wrong?" ”

When they came in the morning, they were fine, like a couple. Could it be that something is wrong?

Xie Zhenzhen said with an aggrieved expression: "There is a palace maid named Shen Dan beside His Royal Highness, who is really too disproportionate and too worthless. ”

Meng Xilan had expected that she would complain about Shen Dan's matter, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

It's only been a day, and she can't hold her breath.

Meng Xilan was deliberately silent for a moment, and then laughed softly.

"Shen Dan, that kid is the old man next to the prince. I have always been very measured in my work. ”

Xie Zhenzhen heard the partiality in her words, so she said again: "The concubine knows that Shen Dan has served the prince for a long time, but now that the concubine is the crown princess, it is the concubine's job to take care of the prince's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The concubines want to get close to His Royal Highness as soon as possible, and they don't want to have people in everything......"

The candidates for the three side concubines have been decided, and she only has a month's time.

If she can't firmly grasp the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince within this month, when the newcomer enters the palace, it will inevitably be another intrigue, and she will not be able to seize the opportunity.

Meng Xilan sighed when she heard this: "You stupid boy. You are the crown princess, but the crown prince's concubine, how can you be so careful about a palace maid, it is really childish. ”

Although the words were reproachful, the tone was mild.

When Xie Zhenzhen heard this, she only said: "The concubine is indeed too stingy. But the queen mother, liking someone is a stingy thing. ”

In the end, he is young and vigorous to tell such a truth.

Meng Xilan smiled lightly when she heard this, but she smiled with a smile, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth gradually disappeared.

"Do you remember the words that this palace sent you?"

Xie Zhenzhen nodded respectfully: "The concubine remembers, it is virtuous". ”

"As a concubine, but you have no room for people, how can you talk about the word "virtuous"? Although Shen Dan is just a slave, he is not just a palace maid. At the beginning, when the palace suffered a serious change, Shen Dan was always by the prince's side......"

When Xie Zhenzhen heard this, the jealousy in her heart was even worse.

"Shen Dan's loyalty to the prince is the most gratifying thing in this palace. Therefore, the crown princess, you have to treat her well. If you want to win the prince's heart, you have to treat her well. ”

Xie Zhenzhen bit her lip and was silent.

After Meng Xilan took a sip of tea, she said, "The prince and you have only met a few times. But now you are husband and wife. Thinking back to that day, when the prince first saw you, he only looked at you a few times, and just based on the initial impression, the prince could like you, which is your advantage and your disadvantage. ”

Xie Zhenzhen didn't know why, so she raised her head and asked: "I also ask the queen mother to give guidance to the concubine." ”

"The prince is fond of you, and this is your blessing. But the liking of just one side is not reliable enough after all. The prince knows your origins, but he doesn't know what your temperament is? You have been together for a long time, and in the future, you will be in a hurry, and it is useless for you to be anxious now. ”

Meng Xilan persuaded her in the tone of a person who had come over, but what she thought in her heart was something else. Recently, she has hardly seen Shen Dan, and it seems that the time has come for her to come over and talk.

Shen Dan is a smart person, and he shouldn't easily do anything stupid that doesn't know how to do it.

"Queen Mother, please teach your concubines, what should the concubines do to win the hearts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Meng Xilan came back to her senses when she heard this, but she still chuckled: "This kind of thing is not something that others can teach you." However, it is better to put away your jealousy first, go back early, and accompany the prince well. Hongu wants you to make him happy and reassure him. ”

She got the news that after the prince went to see Jiao Changqing, he drank wine in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she must have felt uncomfortable.

A man who is in the midst of a big wedding wants to drink to kill his sorrows, which should not be what he does.
