Chapter 320: The Son's Illness
Mu Jiaojiao reluctantly turned back.
"Princess Shizi, I asked you to stop the loss in time, but I didn't say that I would help you cure this disease. Moreover, the person who is really sick is obviously not you, so why do you have to take the blame for yourself?"
"But not being able to have children, isn't it a woman's problem in the eyes of others?"
"He doesn't even touch you, how can you be born?
"Mrs. Cui Xianzun, please be careful!"
As soon as these words came out, Mama's face changed greatly, and she quickly got up and drove out all the maids in the room.
The princess seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mu Jiaojiao's sleeve: "You really know! You have already seen it, right? He is indeed sick, right? Can you cure him?"
Mu Jiaojiao shook her head. "The first time I saw Shizi, I really felt that something was wrong with him. But what really made me sure of this was when I went to watch the sunset on the Paradise, and I saw you worshipping the Bodhisattva. You haven't had a child with the same son for many years, so it stands to reason that you should find a doctor to find a crazy person, but I have hardly seen you find any doctor, and you have been worshipping the Bodhisattva all the time. In other words, you don't need to see a doctor at all, you can only hope that the Bodhisattva will let the son of the world get rid of that problem. β
The secret that had been hidden in her heart was taken out and spread out in the sun, and the princess immediately collapsed. She pulled Mu Jiaojiao's sleeve and cried.
"Everyone says that the son of the world is good-looking, and everyone says that he is good to me, except that I have not even accepted a concubine. They all said, "When I marry the son, it is a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and I must cherish the blessing in this life!" I must give birth to ten or eight sons to the son of the world as soon as possible! But who of them knows, except on the wedding night, he has never touched me again at all! Even if he sleeps next to me every night, we sleep in our clothes, and he refuses to even move my fingers. Rather than sleep with me, he'd rather spend the night in his study alone!"
"I have mentioned this matter to my aunt and uncle, and they can only urge the prince to come to my room more. But he still doesn't touch me, what's the use? My mother's family thinks I'm useless and scolds me, and I talk about the situation of the son, but they say that I'm useless and can't catch a man's heart. Three days ago, my sister-in-law came over and said that her sister-in-law likes the son of the world, so I let her in. I didn't want to harm a little lady's life again, so I politely refused. But she scolded me, saying that I was jealous and wanted to cut off the queen of the world. She thinks I haven't arranged a concubine for the prince, but the prince won't touch it!"
Seeing her crying sadly, the grandmother and the personal maid also burst into tears. Mama hurriedly knelt down in front of Mu Jiaojiao: "Mrs. Cui Xianzun, if you can really cure the prince of this disease, please help the princess! β
"It's not that I don't help, it's that it's too troublesome. Instead of that, you might as well cut through the mess quickly, leave this ghost place directly, and then marry a normal man and have two children as soon as possible, won't it prove that you are fine?" Mu Jiaojiao said in a deep voice.
"I am the princess of the King of Wei, this family affair is a political marriage between the royal family and the Hongnong Yang family, and my aunt and uncle have been good to me all these years, and the prince respects me except that he does not share the same room with me. For so many years, my uncle has not divorced me in the name of nothing, and what reason do I have to reconcile and leave? Even my father and mother at home, they will definitely not agree to me doing this!" the princess cried.
In other words, you still can't bear him. Mu Jiaojiao pointed out the key point.
The princess was stunned, and slowly lowered her head: "You're right, I still can't bear him." If I could, I would still like to be married to him for the rest of my life and have children for him. β
"If I tell you that you are likely to give your life to achieve this, would you be willing? If so, your life will be lost, and he will marry another woman and have children with another woman. Is this what you would like to see?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.
The princess's body stiffened. If so...... If this is the case, then it is also my life, I admit it! Now as long as the son can be good and can have children in peace, I will be satisfied!"
"You...... Hey!" Mu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly.
"Well, since you have to do this, then take me to the study where my deceased son often stays!"
Hearing this, the princess's face turned pale again. "The study is the most private place in the world, and he is always the only one who can enter it, and even my aunt and uncle rarely set foot in it. Even when he was away, there were small guards outside, and others couldn't get in at all. β
"It was only when I went there that I could determine what kind of disease he had, and then I could prescribe the right medicine. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Moreover, didn't you just say that as long as you can cure the illness of the prince, you will be willing to pay for your life?"
The princess's eyes flashed, and she immediately made up her mind: "Okay, I'll ask someone to lure the little guy who is looking at the study away." β
The two maids hurriedly went out, and after about a stick of incense, one of them came back and said, "The princess, it's okay." β
The princess bowed her head to Mu Jiaojiao: "Let's go!"
"You don't have to bring too many people, just the two of us. When there are more people, it is easier to be discovered. Mu Jiaojiao said. The princess nodded hurriedly.
The two of them quietly arrived at the door of the study of King Wei Shizi, and sure enough, they saw the little maid guarding the study and was led away. The princess pushed open the door and walked in, only to see that this was a very ordinary study, with a huge bookshelf standing against the wall on one side, and a full pile of books on it. On the other side, there is a couch by the window, on which there is an open ancient book, as well as other pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc.
Mu Jiaojiao walked slowly inside, and the princess followed suit: "What do you see?"
Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
"What?"
"There's a smell, it should come from somewhereβit's here!" Suddenly standing in front of a bookshelf, Mu Jiaojiao's eyes swept and pulled down one of the thick books.
Then there was a creaking sound, and the small bookshelf opened like a door, revealing a hidden staircase leading to the ground.
"The following should be where the truth is, dare to go down and take a look?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.
The princess took a deep breath and took the lead. "Let's go!"
The two men walked down the stairs, and when they reached their destination, they were stunned by what they saw.
"Oh my God!" the princess covered her lips with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.
Even Mu Jiaojiao was so frightened that she blinked her eyes several times before she slowly accepted the facts in front of her.
The place below is not big, it is the size of a bedroom, and there is a couch in the center, on which are covered with bedding and other things, and it seems that the prince often rests here. These are normal, but what is not normal is that in this room, on all four walls, and even on the top of the head, there are large glass mirrors!
In this era, glass was still a luxury, and it was not possible to make too much, so even if the kings and grandsons were nobles, it was already very good to have a small piece of palm in the house. But here, the specifications of these glass mirrors are far beyond the size they would normally see. Moreover, with so much glass inlaid on five walls, you can imagine how much manpower and material resources were spent!
Standing in the room, no matter which direction you look, you can see yourself from every angle. Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
The blood on the princess's face had already receded cleanly, and her face was pale and pale and looked extremely pitiful.
She quickly grabbed Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "What is the prince doing to build a house like this here?
"It's not like there's evil. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, and suddenly pulled her to the side again. I picked up a crumpled handkerchief by the couch.
"Was this the son of the world dropped?" the princess asked in a trembling voice.
"Well, the product of his self-desecration. Mu Jiaojiao responded.
The princess shook her body again, and her eyes were dark and she almost fainted. However, with Mu Jiaojiao by her side, she naturally couldn't faint.
"Is it sad now? Do you think he'd rather settle it himself in this place than touch you, it hurts your self-esteem as a woman?" Mu Jiaojiao asked softly.
The princess unconsciously shed tears again.
Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, and then pulled her to the edge of a cage next to the couch. "Open this, and the things that just made you sad won't be a thing. β
The princess began to tremble, and even the two lip flaps trembled unpresentably.
"However, if you don't dare, then forget it, it's the same if we go up now. Mu Jiaojiao said again. As he spoke, he dragged her back.
But the princess was unmoved. "No, I'm going to open it and take a look. β
With that, she stepped forward and lifted the lid of the cage.
When she saw the first set of women's clothes there, the princess's face miraculously regained a trace of blood.
"These clothes...... He wore it all himself?"
"That's right. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
The princess immediately let out a sigh. "As long as it's not another woman's clothes. β
The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's eyes twitched. "If it were another woman's clothes, it would have been fine. But if he wears it himself, it will be difficult!"
The princess closed her eyes and was speechless for a while.
This basement is so big, two people looked at it and went up. The princess used two cups of tea in a row to slowly calm down her mood.
"Shizi's illness, do you have an idea, Sixth Young Lady?"
Mu Jiaojiao sighed again: "Are you really sure you want to treat him?"
"Yes!" the princess nodded steadily.
Mu Jiaojiao shook her head and suddenly asked, "Do you know about Wen Zhi's death?"
"Wen Zhi's death?" Cui Pu heard this, and his face immediately changed.
"No! you can't go and heal him!"
"I have promised the princess. Mu Jiaojiao said.
"I'm going to refuse you!" Cui Pu jumped up.
"I remember that you and Shizi were also friends...... No, it seems that the prince of the world only has a friend like you, right? Now that he has this disease, you don't want him to be well? The king of Wei is just his son-in-law, and he will definitely inherit the Wei palace in the future, so you want him to be the last child?" Mu Jiaojiao asked slowly.
Cui Pu paused.
Only now did he know why the prince of Wei became friends with him. It's a shame for this reason - just because he's good-looking!
He said, there are so many famous and noble families in Chang'an City, why did he choose himself as a friend? At first, he was still thinking of him because of the relationship between the prince of Wei and the prince of Wei, and he was unwilling to have more contact with those people with real power. As a result, when the cruel truth was spread out in front of his eyes, he realized that he was really thinking too much.
This prince of Wei Wang, he is simply a Yan Kong! Moreover, Yan Kong is just that, he is still narcissistic! Just because he is good-looking, he is actually deeply infatuated with himself, feeling that he is the only one worthy of himself in this world, and he disdains everyone else. The princess was actually not bad, but her appearance was only middle-class, so he couldn't look down on it. also secretly rubbed himself in the study to make such a place for himself to entertain himself......
This is not enough. Because the son of the world is too obsessed with himself, he feels that it is too boring to be with him only in this world, and he sighs every day, and he suffers from depression.
What is this?
Should he be glad that he was not as good as the prince of Wei, so that one hasn't made up his mind yet?
And after listening to what Mu Jiaojiao said, he finally understood why she had never had the slightest thought about the prince of Wei. How could she possibly like such a narcissist?
It's just that the prince of Wei has been really good to him over the years. If he turns people away thousands of miles just because of this matter, he can't do it. If he could, he naturally hoped that someone would cure Shizi's disease.
But this doctor can't be Mu Jiaojiao!
Especially now, there is a tragic precedent of Wen Zhi in front of him.
Cui Pu thought hard for a while, but still shook his head resolutely: "Of course I hope that the descendants of the world will be prosperous." But compared to the descendants of the son, I hope that you will be safe and sound. So, let's forget it!"
"No, I can't do it. Since I promised the princess, I must do what I say. Mu Jiaojiao said, and smiled sweetly at him, "By the way, I still need your help when the time comes!"
