Chapter 2 Entering the Palace
After Zhou Fu retreated, he sent the subordinates who had already been prepared to Xiyuan, and some things were also insinuated back, but fortunately, the princess was also a good person to serve, which was much easier than expected.
Three days later, there must be a gift for this door, the prince is still sick and has no improvement, only according to the gift to send some things to the Wei Mansion, the couple did not show up, for a while there are schadenfreude in the Wei Mansion, and there are secretly ridiculed, but they have their own thoughts.
After a few days of silence, this palace will always be entered. Before entering the palace, Wei Cheng'an was still pale when he saw Murong Yuan for the second time, but this time he leaned on the side of the bed, and his spirit seemed to be a little better.
"See the Prince"
"Get Up"
After Wei Chengan got up, he saw the prince looking at him, lowered his head slightly, and his expression was still the same.
Murong Yuan raised his hand weakly, and Zhou Fu hurriedly came over with a stool.
"Thank you"
Murong Yuan smiled perfunctorily, "The princess is really knowledgeable, since this is the case, there is no need for this king to worry about entering the palace tomorrow."
"The prince praised it falsely" Wei Chengan squeezed the handkerchief quietly, no matter how normal his heart is, after all, it is the prince and the emperor, how can he be at ease when he is inexplicably involved in this strange whirlpool.
Murong Yuan glanced at Zhou Fu, Zhou Fu turned around and said with a smile, "Miss Yingsleeve, let's wait outside, don't disturb the conversation between the prince and the princess."
Ying Sleeve looked at it and retreated with Zhou Fu.
"I heard that the princess is proficient in medical skills" Murong Yuan spoke, he still remembered the words of the queen who persuaded the emperor in front of him, the second lady of the Wei Mansion was knowledgeable and courteous, and she had a gentle temperament, and she even knew medical skills, wouldn't it be that God intended to favor him, a sick and weak prince.
It was really a great blessing, and with a simple and simple knowledge of medical skills, he was determined to be the concubine.
"The concubine body only understands a little, but I really don't dare to be proficient"
"Oh," Murong Yuan said interestingly, "Why don't you come and check the pulse of this king, and see if this king's illness can be cured."
Wei Chengxin sank, what kind of imperial doctor does this prince have, he has been sick for many years and doesn't know how many magic hands he can heal, what does it mean to let her come to diagnose the pulse now, how to reply if it is really a medicine stone without a doctor, and what is even more terrifying is what if it is not a medicine stone without a doctor, but only if the medicine stone is useless.
At such a point, Wei Cheng'an's face was unintentional, and he quietly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about how to reply in his heart, and saw that the prince had already stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves. I had to step forward and do it by the bedside, and I had to take a pulse.
When he was young, Wei Chengan left his hand and put down his sleeves for Murong Yuan. The conjecture in my heart has been answered to some extent, and when my mind turns, I wonder if I should give it a go.
She quietly took two steps back and knelt directly on the ground, her head bowed.
Murong Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"Prince" Wei Cheng settled down and said softly, "The prince is willing to believe that the concubine has no dissent"
Murong Yuan raised his expression, opened his mouth coldly, and although his voice was low, he knocked on Wei Cheng'an word by word, "Why did the princess say this" Murong Yuan raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it, he knew that it was inappropriate, and then he spoke again, "Let this king believe you, you must give this king an explanation"
"Don't hide it from the prince, the concubine has no evidence, and to this day she just acts according to the will, acts according to etiquette, and whether you believe it or not depends on the prince's thoughts."
"The princess is really embarrassed by this king, if this king doesn't want to believe it" Murong Yuan smoothed a fold on the quilt, and opened his mouth if there was nothing
Wei Chengan clenched his hands, and let go, "If the prince doesn't believe it, the concubine doesn't know what will happen."
Or this life is secluded in the palace, or once and for all.
Murong Yuan saw that the people on the ground were still kneeling straight, even if he lowered his head, he could see it clearly, Murong Yuan believed that even if he wanted her life at this moment, she would not cry and shout for him to spare his life.
"This king is gambling with himself, this bet is too dangerous" Murong Yuan was still leaning lazily, although his face was pale, there was no trace of sickness.
Wei Chengan lowered his head and didn't answer, only listening to the noise in his chest clearly.
I don't know how long it has been, every moment Wei Chengan feels that it is not good, even when he is most afraid of being in Weifu for so long, he does not feel so confident at this moment, as long as a person has a thought, it will decide whether she is alive or dead.
Finally, Murong Yuan slowly spoke, "Whether this king gives the princess a way out or not depends on the princess herself, and the princess must not let this king down."
"Lord Xie" Wei Chengan leaned down and kowtowed
"Get Up"
Wei Chengan breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he feel that his legs were a little numb, and he tried his best to do it, seeing that the prince was still examining her, before he spoke, "What else does the prince have to advise?"
"The princess was really humble just now"
Wei Cheng'an understood in his heart, and said, "The concubine worshipped a master by mistake when she was a child, and the medical skills were taught by the master, and the prince's illness just happened to be mentioned by the master unintentionally, otherwise I would be at a loss."
"Your master?" Murong Yuan frowned slightly, "Who is your master?"
His illness is nothing more than a pulse abnormality, and those who can know about it must not be ordinary people.
"My master's name is Tao Xingzhi, and he is a person who travels all over the world, and there is nothing special about it."
Tao Xingzhi, Murong Yuan read it silently, no longer asked, and glanced at the front, "The princess will know the pulse, I'm afraid even the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital is ashamed of himself."
"The prince said that he laughed, the concubine is not a royal doctor, so she naturally has no worries"
"Oh?" Murong Yuan curled the corners of his mouth, as if waiting for her to continue
Wei Cheng Anfu spoke again, "The imperial doctor is naturally cautious in his words and deeds in the palace, and the pulse of the prince is really vain and weak, and it is not even easy to detect occasionally, the doctor, the pulse is not correct and is a disease, not to mention the imperial doctor, he can only let the prince cultivate and breathe, and he does not dare to draw conclusions, after all, the prince's disease is really nameless, the prince is not as healthy as ordinary people for a day, and the disease cannot be cured for a day, as for what the illness is, bedridden, or barely walking, it is up to the prince to decide, as for others" Wei Cheng settled down "The prince should understand better than the concubine"
King Chen has been bedridden for many years, the decoction is constant, and he can't even go to the court, who would think that he is a healthy person, and the imperial doctor can't say the specific symptoms, and others should only be frail and sick, and even the person who is about to reach the limit.
Murong Yuan was speechless for a while, as if laughing at himself, "The princess is really smart"
Wei Cheng calmed down and said in a low voice, "The prince praised it falsely, I didn't hide it from the prince, I thought so before I saw the prince."
"yes, where did the king show his flaws?"
Wei Chengan lowered his head and did not answer.
Murong Yuan will understand, "Say it, this king doesn't blame you."
Wei Chengan pinched his cuffs and said hesitantly, "The first time I saw the prince, it was after breakfast, and I saw an empty medicine bowl next to the bed, if the prince was really seriously ill and the decoction continued, he must have taken the medicine the night before yesterday, and the people naturally did not dare to open a window at night.
Murong Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, "But in the time of two sentences, the princess took a thorough look at the king's house and the king, the princess is really not an ordinary person."
Wei Chengan knew that he was speechless when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and asked for sin, "The prince forgives the sin, the concubine is really not deliberate, but he just saw nature, nature"
"Naturally, there are doubts, but you are new to the palace and I don't know how this king is on weekdays, it just so happens that today this king asked you to diagnose the pulse, and you know a little about this pulse, with the wisdom of the princess, it is naturally not difficult to understand"
Murong Yuan quietly took it for her, he knew that what Wei Chengan said was not bad at all, he didn't take any of the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, he poured it out in the house every time, when the imperial doctor came to diagnose the pulse, Steward Zhou would take a few medicine bowls and smoke them for a long time in advance, and then move out the flowers and plants, but he didn't expect that the incident suddenly happened that day Wei Chengan suddenly said please see, he didn't think that a newcomer to the boudoir could have any ability, even if she was the queen's person was nothing more than eavesdropping on something, to see who was in and out of the palace, and forgot about this dispensable thing for a whileใ
"Please forgive the king"
"Get up, and the king will not break his promise not to blame you."
Murong Yuan closed his eyes, "This king is tired, the princess will go back first, and when she enters the palace tomorrow, I believe that the princess will not let this king bother."
"Don't worry, the prince" Wei Chengan saluted and quietly withdrew.
Steward Zhou and Ying Sleeve were waiting outside, and when they saw her come out, they hurriedly stepped forward
"Miss"
"The Princess"
Wei Chengan smiled slightly, "There is a housekeeper of Lao Zhou to take care of the prince, I will go back first"
"The princess is relieved"
When he was far away, Wei Chengan's legs were weak, and he accidentally took an empty step
scared Yingsleeve and hurriedly helped her
"Miss, what's wrong with you," she checked, glad she hadn't fallen.
Wei Chengan breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned weakly to "It's okay, it's just careless"
The prince is betting on herself, and she is not, she is gambling with her life, and the outcome does not depend on herself.
"Miss, don't scare me, don't you,"
Wei Chengan hurriedly interrupted her, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, let's go back quickly"
Yingsleeve nodded worriedly and helped her away.
When the figures of the two walked away, Zhou Fu went back again, and saw that the prince was not on the bed, sitting on the chair and not knowing what to look at.
"Lord Wang" Zhou Fu said softly
"Uncle Zhou" Murong Yuan smiled bitterly, "We all miscalculated"
Zhou Fu suddenly became vigilant, "What do you say about the prince?"
Murong Yuan still looked at the wilted bamboo, and roughly talked about it.
Zhou Fu was not as calm as him, and he was shocked for a while before calming down, "Lord Wang, this"
The princess knows such a thing, even if she only talks about it to someone who cares about it for half a minute, I am afraid that all this energy of the prince will be in vain.
Letting the princess diagnose the pulse is nothing more than to test whether she has anything to do with others, since the queen said that she knows medicine naturally will not fake, if she is really sent by the queen or someone else, and it is diagnosed that his pulse is different, in addition to making the people behind him more certain, there is no harm in his condition.
If she wasn't, it would be impossible for her natural expression not to see a trace of sadness, after all, her husband's life is short, which bride can be indifferent, so this is the best of both worlds, but it is just a thousand calculations that the princess knows a little about medicine.
"Lord, princess, can she really stay, in case she really is" Zhou Fu made a bitter face, in all fairness, the princess is indeed a good master who is knowledgeable and courteous, but this is a matter of the prince, and it is still a big matter.
"I've promised to give her a chance, she doesn't know much now, you stare at her more, if what she says is true, what about Ben * her once"
Once upon a time, he wished that someone would believe him, even the slightest, but no one was willing to defend him in the first and last sentence.
Zhou Fu sighed, "The old slave understands"
The next day, the carriage of the Chenwang Mansion slowly headed towards the palace, Wei Cheng'an was thinking about how to deal with entering the palace, and Murong Yuan on the main seat closed his eyes, seemingly resting.
The carriage entered the palace gate, stopped in front of the Deqian gate, and after the carriage entered the palace according to the ceremony, it should not enter the Deqian gate, Zhou Fu stopped the carriage and went to Fuchen Wang and his wife to get off.
Wei Chengan looked at King Chen as if he had changed from the moment he lifted the sedan curtain, and even she was willing to believe that King Chen was really terminally ill
ใ For more than ten years, going back and forth between the palace and the palace, he deceived everyone, every time, every moment he hid his true self completely, and completely became another person, I really don't know whether I should admire or feel distressed.
Before he got out of the car, Zhou Fu glanced at her quietly while holding her, and his eyes quietly turned in the direction of Murong Yuan.
Wei Chengan understood, got out of the car, and waited for Murong Yuan to come down in the same place, Zhou Fu had no intention of stepping forward, and was busy stepping forward to support the "seriously ill" prince
This trip took a quarter of an hour to come to the queen's bedroom, King Chen does not often enter the palace, since he came, this greeting is essential.
The two knelt on the ground and bowed their heads
"Get up, King Chen is not feeling well, sit down quickly" The queen opened her voice and couldn't hear much meaning, but the meaning of estrangement Wei Chengan didn't hear it.
After the two thanked him, Wei Chengan helped the prince to sit down, and the queen said again, "Princess Chen is really virtuous, and the palace can rest assured"
"The queen mother has an overreputation, and serving the prince is a matter of concubine"
The queen smiled and said, "The emperor has just come down to court, and the palace has ordered someone to invite him."
When he didn't say much, sure enough, a palace maid and a eunuch came in a hurry
"Back to the mother, the emperor has gone to Zhaohua Palace when Yu Meiren is sick, saying that King Chen does not often enter the palace, so that the prince will accompany the queen mother. The emperor also sent Grandpa An to wait outside the palace."
A trace of indignation flashed in the queen's eyes, and she spoke indifferently for a moment
"Let him in"
"Yes"
An Gonggong smiled with a festive face, and after saluting everyone, he said some congratulatory words to the two of them, and presented a reward, Zhou Fu could not enter the harem, Wei Chengan took it, and the two thanked him.
"Even so, there is nothing to advise in this palace, Princess Chen is good to serve King Chen, these rights should be the heart of this palace"
There were already some palace maids who presented some brocade, and the jade came up and retreated.
"Queen Xie" Murong Yuan wanted to get up, but the queen raised her hand to stop him
"King Chen is not feeling well, so the ceremony will be waived"
"Queen Xie" Murong Yuan bowed his head
When the two saw that the queen heard that the emperor was not coming, they had no thoughts about them, so they got up to say goodbye, and got permission, and before they left the palace gate, they met a person and came in with a smile.
"Fifth brother" Murong Yuan smiled
"Yo, the sixth brother is not recuperating in the house, how can I have time to visit the queen mother today?"
Wei Chengan heard that this King Rong is also a difficult person to deal with, otherwise how could he say such a scathing sentence without thinking about it.
It can be seen that Murong Yuan did not have any dissatisfaction, and there was a faint smile between the words.
"Fifth Brother Xie cares, I am not in good health and can't serve my mother from time to time, so I can only worry about Fifth Brother more"
Murong Ye smiled and looked at Wei Chengan, "This must be Princess Chen."
"See His Royal Highness King Rong"
"Let's get up, the sixth brother is seriously ill or go back to the house early to rest, and the fifth brother will not be forced to stay"
As soon as King Rong turned around and entered, Wei Chengan helped Murong Yuan to walk slowly towards the palace gate, thinking that he tried not to care about the intimate conversation coming from the house, but those words flew into his ears like wings.
She didn't even dare to look up at Murong Yuan, the two of them walked silently.
Passing by a gazebo, I saw a child running after a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and laughter filled the entire garden.
Wei Chengan glanced at the child, and then heard Murong Yuan speak, "That's the Ten Princes, the son of Yu Meiren."
Wei Chengan dared to look at him as "the prince"
"Let's go"
Out of Deqianmen, Zhou Fu hurriedly greeted him, and the little eunuch who followed from afar handed over the reward, and hurriedly said goodbye and left. After the two got into the carriage, they drove the carriage away, and when they came, the whole world was only the sound of horses' hooves.
Wei Chengan returned to Xiyuan and was absent-minded all day. King Chen got married and entered the palace, but he didn't even see the emperor's face, let alone make up for this tea ceremony, although he didn't see many people on this trip, it is difficult to guess from the queen and King Rong. It's just that his mother died early, and he was riddled with bad diseases, a dispensable prince.
Wei Chengan thought about King Chen's words and deeds today, swallowed his anger, and lived a powerless prince who had no ambitions, was timid and afraid of things, where was there half a shadow of yesterday, and he was comfortable with everything, and he was obviously accustomed to it, and he sighed unconsciously when he thought of this.
