Jing Xian
Yuhua Pavilion
Mo Ruo had just woken up after drinking some wine. After dispersing the smell of alcohol from his body, he began to search the room.
Crackle — —
The whole house was turned upside down!
The apprentice outside the door came in and looked around before asking, "Master, what are you looking for?"
"Where's the box I brought back?"
"Which box?"
"The wooden box with a lock carved on it."
Mo Ruo continued to search the room, sweeping all the books and objects to the ground.
The apprentice scratched his head and suddenly remembered. He rushed outside and found the box under the corner of the table.
"Master, it's here!"
As the box was pulled out, the broken table lost its balance.
With a bang, it fell to the ground along with some of the medicinal herbs.
Mo Ruo came out to take a look and his eyes turned green.
He reached out to take the box from the apprentice and scolded, "You little bastard, who allowed you to use my box as a table leg?"
"Master, I'm innocent! Yesterday, after you came back from the Rong Estate, you stuffed this broken table under the corner of the broken table after drinking. You even complained about fixing the table and I couldn't stop it. When I saw that the table could be used, I placed the medicinal herbs on it. You can't accuse me! "
How innocent!
Mo Ruo felt embarrassed.
He knew that he had drunk too much and did such a shameful thing.
However, this scandal wasn't a big deal. It was much better than two years ago when she drank with Jing Rong and had to strip naked on the bed to sleep with Jing Rong.
"Alright, I've wronged you."
Mo Ruo carried the box and left the room.
"Where are you going, Master?"
"To the palace!"
… …
The Imperial Palace
Inside the bustling palace, the red walls and green tiles were decorated with golden plaques that looked like strands of platinum.
In this huge imperial palace, apart from the Cold Palace, there was only one place that was desolate and desolate.
That was Tongren Hall!
The palace of the Fourth Prince, Jing Xian!
The walls inside the hall had long been in disrepair. The walls were broken, the green tiles were pecked by crows, the courtyard was full of weeds, and even the paper windows were broken one after another.
The Tongren Hall was in ruins!
Naturally, it also showed Jing Xian's status!
Although Jing Xian had already been conferred the title of Virtuous Prince and was able to establish his own household, Qi Zhen Emperor stripped him of his privileges and placed him in the palace to recuperate from his illness.
Logically speaking, Qi Zhen Emperor was still concerned about Jing Xian's illness, keeping him in the palace and arranging for the Imperial Physician to treat his illness. Naturally, he was treating his son well. However, apart from this, there was nothing else. Moreover, he did not care about it at all.
As a result, the people in the palace felt that the Virtuous King was only in name but not in reality. Gradually, they distanced themselves from Tongren Hall. In the end, other than delivering some money and three meals, no one came to Tongren Hall.
All the civil and military officials knew that Qi Zhen Emperor had used a restraining technique on Jing Xian!
This was equivalent to tying his hands and feet and keeping him by his side. His every move, every word he said, would be seen by Qi Zhen Emperor.
But there were also people who did not understand. Jing Xian was sick and his mother's clan was not prominent. He was not the least bit of threat. Why did Qi Zhen Emperor want to keep him by his side?
This was a question that no one had delved into, nor did they dare to delve into.
The main hall was relatively clean. Although the inner room was not extravagant, it could still be considered well-equipped.
The two windows in the room were facing each other. Outside, there was a maple tree. In the spring season, the tree had sprouted and the leaves were lush green.
The shade of the tree fell on the wooden frame of the window, faintly swaying.
Jing Xian leaned on the rocking chair in front of the window. His eyes were slightly drooping and his face was deathly pale. However, he was still a handsome man. His facial features were similar to Jing Rong and Jing Yi.
The genes of the imperial family were indeed powerful.
Eunuch Bi Lu came in with a bowl of medicine in his hands. He placed it on the table beside Jing Xian.
"Virtuous King, it's time to take your medicine."
"Leave it."
"The weather is cold. You mustn't let it catch a cold."
Jing Xian had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it.
Bi Lu bowed and said, "Today, the Imperial Physician wrote a new prescription. He said that the medicine was obtained from Tianshan. It will certainly be useful. Virtuous King will certainly get better soon."
Jing Xian's gaze was fixed outside the window. For many years, this was probably the sentence he had heard the most from Bi Lu.
He smiled bitterly. "Whether it's good or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore."
Bi Lu sighed inwardly. He had watched Jing Xian grow up. This child had a bitter life and he felt sorry for him.
"Your Highness will definitely get better. This old servant believes that Her Ladyship's spirit in heaven will protect Your Highness."
"It's already been fourteen years. Why are you still talking about my mother?" Jing Xian's tone was sad.
"It's this old servant's fault."
"You can withdraw. I want to rest."
"Yes!"
Bi Lu saw that Jing Xian had closed his eyes. He quietly withdrew with an empty bowl.
Just as he reached the door, a person greeted him.
Mo Ruo hurried forward with a long box in his hand. His expression was calm.
"Doctor Mo, why are you …"
Before he could finish, Mo Ruo raised his hand and interrupted him. He stretched his neck to look inside the room.
He pressed his index finger to his lips.
"Shh!"
Bi Lu shrunk his neck and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Mo, what's wrong?"
"Lower your voice. Go and busy yourself. Don't mind me."
"Yes!"
Mo Ruo quietly entered the room. He glanced at Jing Xian, who had his back to him and was leaning against a rocking chair. Only then did he carefully place the long box on the table.
"What did you bring?" Jing Xian suddenly asked.
"I'm so light. How did you know I came in?"
"The entire Tongren Hall has been deserted for so many years. I can even hear the sound of leaves brushing against the ground."
It sounded a little desolate.
Mo Ruo smiled. He simply walked over with the box and sat beside Jing Xian.
He asked, "How have you been recently?"
"Same old!"
"Let me take a look."
Jing Xian raised his sleeve and stretched out his hand.
Mo Ruo took Jing Xian's pulse. His originally relaxed brows suddenly furrowed and his fingers moved away from Jing Xian's wrist.
"Did the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Hospital change your medicine?"
Jing Xian grunted in acknowledgment.
"Didn't I tell you to get the medicine according to the prescription I gave you before I left?"
"Oh? Is that so? I don't really remember. "
His tone was indifferent.
Mo Ruo was displeased. "You and Jing Rong are polar opposites. He's stubborn and very competitive. You're cold and indifferent. You don't care about anything. You don't even care about your own life."
Seeing that he was anxious, Jing Xian's pale lips curved into a gloomy smile. He said, "My illness can't be cured. You don't need to waste your efforts. I'm just an empty shell. Don't tell me that one day I can be like an ordinary person?"
"With me here, you'll naturally be fine."
"It's been fourteen years. Your father is still helpless."
Mo Ruo gloomily handed the box to Jing Xian. "The old man's medical skills are not as good as mine. What he can't cure, I can. I found this outside. It will help with your illness. Keep it by your side and smell it every day. Also, don't drink the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Physician for the next few days. Follow the prescription I gave you. Don't miss a single dose."
Jing Xian opened the box.
Inside, there was a sky-blue medicinal herb. Its bamboo leaves were luxuriant, and it was connected to a vine.
"What is this?"
"Heartless Grass. Your heart and blood are blocked. This medicine can help you smooth it out. This medicine can't be bought no matter how much money you have."
