Mama Su cried out and hurriedly ran over to help me catch my breath. She didn't have my sharp ears, so she naturally didn't know how that little bastard, the Seventh Prince, had said such a disgraceful thing.
/p
In the main hall, the Empress was so angry that her voice became sharp: "Impudent!"
/p
"There's only mother and son in this hall. Son told mother what was in his heart, but mother used the Empress's attitude to angrily rebuke son. With such a different attitude, mother won't be able to get half a word of truth out of son's mouth in the future."
/p
The Seventh Prince was a ruthless person. After leaving these words, he turned around and left. I could hear the Empress lying on the Phoenix chair in the side hall, huffing and puffing loudly.
/p
There was a servant girl who was probably already on duty at the door. She probably saw the Seventh Prince rush out of the hall with an unsightly expression, so she ran in with small steps to check the situation. She only heard a slightly immature voice asking tentatively, "Niang niang …"
/p
The Empress interrupted them loudly, "Back off, all of you back off, back off!"
/p
The little maid was slightly panicked and hurriedly said yes. I looked up and saw the little maid walk into the side hall. She bowed to me and whispered a few words in Mama Su's ear. Mama Su's expression didn't change and she only nodded to show that she understood. After the young maidservant finished passing on the message, she rose and took her leave. I watched as Su mama came to my side and said: "Yue Wangfei, please forgive me. Unfortunately, Her Imperial Highness the Empress just had a headache. At this moment, she has already returned to her sleeping quarters to rest."
/p
I stood up smoothly: "The Empress's body is connected to the people, so she must cherish her phoenix body."
/p
"Princess Consort Yue's words of concern, this servant will definitely pass them to the Empress's ears."
/p
I thought that I could finally leave. My heart was happy, but I still had to follow etiquette and said: "Then, I will leave first."
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu, who was trembling on the side and couldn't write a prescription, hurriedly interjected: "This official will also retire."
/p
Mama Su sent the two of us to the gate of the palace and then went back to serve the empress. I was about to say goodbye to Imperial Doctor Xu, but Imperial Doctor Xu bowed to me first and said: "Princess Consort Yue, can I have a word with you?"
/p
I gave him a puzzled look, but still moved over.
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu was a little hesitant. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked me: "Princess Consort Yue, Princess Consort Yue, do you feel uncomfortable recently?"
/p
I answered honestly, "No, I don't."
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu was even more anxious: "Then, is there any other strange situation?"
/p
I thought about it for a while, and it seems that there is: "Some time ago, I was knocked on my head. I often have tinnitus in my ears, but it's just for a short time. In fact, it's not a big deal, so I didn't take it to heart. Imperial Doctor Xu just checked my pulse and found something strange. You can just tell me directly. You don't have to be so cautious. "
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu said: "Then this official will say it directly. Ordinary people check the pulse of the Cun Kou. The Cun Kou can be divided into three parts: Cun, Guan, and Chi. Usually, it is marked by the styloid process of the wrist and the inner part is the Guan. The front part is Cun, and the back part is Chi. The Cun, Guan, and Chi can be used to perform floating, middle, and sinking. These are the three parts and nine marquises of the Cun Kou diagnosis method. "
/p
I listened to him say so much, but he didn't get to the point. After enduring for a long time, I couldn't help but interrupt him and ask: "What exactly did Imperial Doctor Xu do?"
/p
"Princess Consort Yue, you, you have one more pulse."
/p
I looked at Imperial Doctor Xu's white beard and didn't understand what he meant for a while.
/p
"Just now, this official was checking the pulse of the Princess Consort Yue in the empress's side hall. Originally, the pulse was stable and lively. This official remembered the empress's instructions, so I checked the pulse more carefully than usual. I didn't expect to find another pulse that beats gently. This official has been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never encountered a situation like Princess Consort Yue. This official is ignorant and ignorant. This official is really ashamed. "
/p
I thought about it in my heart, but I said: "This has nothing to do with the imperial doctor, but you have to tell me honestly, does this pulse affect my health?"
/p
"It should be, it shouldn't matter."
/p
I said: "Since it doesn't matter, let it be. When the time comes, it will cause trouble for me. It's not too late to deal with it."
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu advised me: "Princess Consort Yue, we, the Yao Family, pay attention to the root of the disease and prepare for a rainy day. When Wangfei notices that this pulse has affected her body, I'm afraid it will be too late. "
/p
I asked him: "Does Imperial Doctor Xu have a better way?"
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu was scared by me and said: "No, no."
/p
I smiled helplessly: "That's it."
/p
Imperial Doctor Xu sighed again and again. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look up. He even bent half of his body. He looked like a hunchbacked old man who was used to doing farm work in the countryside. I didn't say anything, but he seemed to feel guilty about fishing for fame. In my opinion, this little old man was also too responsible.
/p
After a while, Imperial Doctor Xu was finally willing to look up at me, but his eyes were already shining with tears. There was a kind of pity in his eyes, as if I really had an incurable disease. He looked at me seriously, as if he wanted to make a promise. He said to me with a trembling old voice: "Princess Consort Yue, please rest assured. After this official goes back, even if I have to turn over the history books and try hundreds of medicines, I will definitely find a way to cure this strange disease for Princess Consort Yue!"
/p
I smiled and thanked him: "Then my life will be handed over to Imperial Doctor Xu."
/p
"It's the duty of this official."
/p
This trip to the palace for the banquet was originally ordered by the Empress, but in the end, I didn't even get to say a few words to the Empress before I sat on the sedan chair and left the palace. It really felt like I had made a wasted trip.
/p
No, it's not a wasted trip. At least, I saw two strange things with my own eyes, and they were all about me.
/p
For the first time, the Seventh Prince's temperament had changed greatly. Not only had his temperament changed, even his preferences had been completely reversed. The Seventh Prince and I didn't have the slightest bit of interaction before. How could he directly go against his mother for me? The second bad thing is my own broken body. What is the other meridian that was cut by Imperial Doctor Xu?
/p
I raised my arm and rolled up my thick long sleeves to look at my pulse. But I was not a doctor. After looking at it for a long time, I only felt that my arm was fat and thin. It was beautiful. I couldn't see anything else.
/p
But I guess it's probably caused by my soul entering my body. According to what Old Madam Tang and the others from Guanzhong Sacred Village said, my body was originally a strange one, and this strange body was not mine. It had housed two souls, so it was not that hard to believe that I had two beating pulses.
/p
Soft Glue stopped abruptly and interrupted my thoughts that had drifted to who knows where. I was puzzled and wanted to ask about the situation, but before I could open the curtain with my outstretched hand, I didn't know where it came from. In the blink of an eye, there was another person in the small sedan chair.
/p
There was a tall man in the room.
/p
The space in the soft sedan chair was not big, but it was even more crowded at the moment. My butt was against the wall of the sedan chair. But the person who divided my sedan chair didn't know what to do. His broad body moved closer to me.
/p
I couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him: "Get up, ride your horse."
/p
Prince Yue laughed softly and ordered: "Raise the sedan chair."
/p
I only had four sedan bearers, but they had to carry more than twice as much weight. The sedan chair was lifted, swaying. I silently mourned for the bearers no less than three times in my heart. I thought to myself that I must reward them when I return.
/p
Prince Yue was still fully armed. He must have been busy all day. Just now, he squeezed me just to tease me. At this moment, he was already leaning to the side to rest. His hand, which was covered with a leather glove, held my hand and asked me, "You are used to being lazy. Why did you think to dress up and enter the palace today?"
/p
I glanced at him: "You also know that I'm used to being lazy. If there's no imperial decree, I'll refuse this kind of exhausting activity."
/p
"Imperial decree, the Empress' imperial decree?"
/p
With a sigh, I replied, "Yeah."
/p
Prince Yue understood: "It's been hard on you."
/p
I replied honestly: "It's been ten times harder than before."
/p
The soft sedan chair creaked to a stop. Prince Yue and I looked at each other. I admitted defeat and asked outside: "What happened this time?"
/p
Jiang Gui hesitantly ran back to me: "Wangfei, His Highness the Seventh Prince stopped our sedan chair."
/p
My heart skipped a beat and I felt guilty. I hurriedly returned to the sedan chair. Prince Yue naturally heard my words and asked in a low voice: "What did he come here for?"
/p
This sentence was originally directed at me, but who would have thought that the Seventh Prince, this narrow-minded child, directly shouted outside: "Greetings to Third Sister-in-law. Third Sister-in-law, just now I went to Sizhen's room to take a stroll and happened to see Liu Sizhen making a rose gold lotus jade butterfly hairpin. I saw it and thought that Third Sister-in-law would also like it, so I asked Liu Sizhen to give it to Third Sister-in-law."
/p
There was a rare look of doubt in Prince Yue's eyes. He glanced at me, and I shrugged helplessly.
/p
The Seventh Prince continued to ask outside: "Third Sister-in-law, don't you want to come down and take a look?"
/p
I didn't intend to leave, but Prince Yue pressed my shoulder and got up from the sedan chair. He stretched out his hand to open the curtain and walked out. I was very curious about the Seventh Prince's expression, but I couldn't go out. I opened the curtain slightly and paid close attention to the situation outside.
/p
The Seventh Prince's young and handsome face was originally smiling like a spring breeze with peach blossoms blooming in his eyes. When he saw the curtain move, he couldn't restrain his excitement. He took small steps forward, but when Yue Wangye stepped out of the sedan, his smile immediately froze. It was like a paper mask that had been drenched in water, sticking to his face like a sticky paper mask.
/p
The Seventh Prince suffered a blow. The smiling mask stuck to his face for a moment before falling off. Resentment, helplessness, pity, and fear all seemed to be contained in his eyes. Then, all these feelings melted into one piece and became the courage to smash a broken jar.
/p
"Oh, greetings to Third Brother." The Seventh Prince didn't forget about etiquette.
/p
Prince Yue spoke with the aura of an elder brother: "Seventh Brother should be recuperating in his bedroom."
/p
The Seventh Prince smiled and replied: "Third Brother should be discussing state affairs with Imperial Father in the study room."
/p
"Family affairs should be settled first, then state affairs."
/p
The Seventh Prince tilted his head and smiled. His tone was somewhat disdainful: "The Sage said in 'Great Learning' that one should cultivate one's body, take care of one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Imperial Brother is very careful with the Sage's words and is very obedient. "
/p
Prince Yue said to him: "Seventh Brother also listened to the Sage's words before."
/p
I saw the Seventh Prince's face turn from white to red, then back to black. Finally, he looked a little confused. He hurriedly bowed and left. His hand was still tightly clutching a small golden box. But from his expression, I'm afraid he had forgotten that he was still clutching the box.
/p
Prince Yue entered the sedan chair with a cold aura around him. He didn't look at me. With the mask covering his face, I couldn't read his thoughts. His eyes looked away and I didn't know what he was looking at. Prince Yue's silent attitude made me a little nervous. This matter, although it wasn't caused by me, but it was still related to me. Therefore, as if trying to curry favor with him, I opened my mouth and said, "Wangye, shall we go home?"
/p
Prince Yue glanced at me.
/p
I knew that changing the topic wouldn't fool the shrewd Prince Yue, so I simply told him the truth: "The Seventh Prince's attitude towards me is very strange. Today, the Empress hurriedly summoned me to the palace because of this matter."
/p
Prince Yue said: "I'll interrupt first. You have to avoid the Empress for a while."
/p
"What's wrong?"
/p
Prince Yue said: "You know why the Tang family was confiscated. The Tangzou family kidnapped the Imperial Heir and committed a great crime of rebellion. But how could the Imperial Heir be so easily kidnapped by the Tangzou family? Imperial Father used his son as a target. "
/p
I was smart enough to figure out this matter at that time. When the Emperor ordered the Seventh Prince to help Old Madam Tang out to rest, he had already treated his son as a sacrifice. If it weren't for my Prince Yue risking his life to save her, the Empress would still be sick in bed.
/p
I asked: "Could it be that the Empress has also figured out this matter?"
/p
Prince Yue said: "The Empress's intelligence can only be regarded as mediocre, but she is good at maintaining a stable bottom line, so she has never committed a major crime."
/p
I didn't understand: "Then she …"
/p
"Before I chased after the Tangzou family, I had a talk with Hu daren for a while. You were also there at that time. Do you still remember?"
/p
"The Empress was there at that time?"
/p
Prince Yue replied to me with certainty: "The Empress was there at that time."
/p
I suddenly understood. "No wonder. I don't know much about the Empress, but she can be said to be a qualified mother. Even the princesses who married far away in the border tribes always think of her, not to mention her son who has been raised by her side since he was young."
/p
"After listening to my conversation with Hu daren, you can guess the layout."
/p
I pretended to sigh and said, "As a woman, there are only two people she trusts the most after marriage, the husband by her pillow and the son by her knee. Now, Her Majesty the Empress has been played by her own husband. Her beloved son has also become such a muddle-headed person. It would be strange if she didn't collapse."
/p
Prince Yue said: "I have finished my advice, you also tell me about today's matter."
/p
Seeing the reproach in his eyes, I had no choice but to honestly explain: "This morning, I was still lazing in bed, and Jiang Gui and the others didn't wake me up. Suddenly, the eunuch Wang Ji from the Empress' palace came to our fu, bringing the Empress' imperial decree for me to speak. When I got up, my entire body was sore. Your Highness, you were a little heavy-handed last night." Finally, I complained a little.
/p
As expected, Prince Yue's cold air dropped a little. He corrected me seriously: "I didn't use my hands last night."
/p
I glared at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense."
/p
Prince Yue coughed lightly, and the cold corners of his eyes finally drooped slightly. With a slight smile, he said to me: "Continue."
/p
I continued: "Who would have thought that before my sedan could enter the Empress' palace, the Seventh Prince would stop it halfway. The Seventh Prince was very strange today, he was very nice to me. "I racked my brain, and thought hard to think of a more proper word," He was very warm to me, even in front of the Empress. "
/p
Prince Yue and I had the same thought at that time: "Did the Empress instruct him to do this?"
/p
I couldn't say that I had been eavesdropping in the side hall for half a day, but I still replied with certainty: "No, when the Empress saw the Seventh Prince's attitude towards me, she went crazy with anger. Prince, you usually have a good relationship with the Seventh Prince, could it be that he has always been this warm to others? "
/p
Prince Yue smiled and said: "Of course not, the Seventh Prince has a calm temperament. He doesn't like to talk much, but he is very honest. That's why Imperial Father and Imperial Mother are very satisfied with this son. If there are no accidents, in a hundred years, he will inherit the throne and rule Da Qi. "
/p
I urged: "Then Prince should be on good terms with him."
/p
Prince Yue said: "This Prince will be on good terms with whoever he wants. It's not worthwhile to have other motives."
/p
I duly flattered him: "Yes, Wangye is wise."
/p
Prince Yue enjoyed my attitude and continued: "Da Qi's surname is Yang. My generation starts with the character Yuan. Imperial Father personally bestowed the character Lang as the Seventh Prince's name. He has grown up to the age of thirteen, so it can be said that he has lived up to this name. Before the New Year, Imperial Father found a bunch of beautiful palace maids from who knows where, and distributed a few to each of his sons. At that time, the Seventh Prince righteously rejected these women, and even wrote a letter to criticize Imperial Father. "
/p
I couldn't help but ask: "How many did Prince get?"
/p
Prince Yue laughed out loud. He reached out and gave me a slap on the forehead. "I didn't get a single one. At that time, I was ordered to guard the Southwest border. Of course, I couldn't rashly put them in my residence."
/p
I pretended to be calm and replied with an 'oh'. In my heart, I was secretly delighted.
/p
Prince Yue began to criticize me: "Now that you are the head of the household, how many people do I have in my residence? How many concubines do I have, don't you know?"
/p
I blushed. This play came one after another. Mulan still hadn't recovered from his injuries at the hunting grounds, and he still wanted me to be the head of the household?
/p
Fortunately, Prince Yue didn't continue on this matter and brought the topic back to the Seventh Prince: "But even if the Seventh Prince wrote a letter, Imperial Father didn't have a reason to take back what he had given out. The Seventh Prince is also a capable person. He gathered these girls together and organized them into a public school. They were originally daughters of good families, and after a few months of education, they became capable teachers. "
/p
I chuckled: "According to what you said, the Seventh Prince's personality is rigid and dull, but he is also upright and cute."
/p
Prince Yue laughed along with me: "That's right. At that time, I also didn't understand the current situation. In the past, if I brought up the words of a saint, he would never talk back. Today, seeing him, he seems to be tainted with a foul air. I don't know where he learned it. "
