The prince suddenly fainted and fell to the ground while worshiping heaven and earth just now.

He withdrew his gaze from the Crown Princess, turned his head, and looked deeply at the tablet of "Heaven and Earth, Lord, Prince, Master" enshrined above the main hall, slowly raised his hands, and bowed deeply to the huge rosewood tablet.

The Crown Princess also followed suit and bowed down.

Finally, I finished worshiping heaven and earth, and then went to the high hall.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess turned together to Emperor Yongchang and Concubine Wan Gui who were sitting at the top.

The prince is the eldest son of the late empress Ouyang Zi. Concubine Wan Gui is just a concubine and is not worthy of sitting on the throne and receiving this gift from him.

But Concubine Wan Gui sat next to Emperor Yongchang with a smile, showing no intention of avoiding him at all.

The civil servants, generals, and clan members standing in the hall watching the ceremony were all a little uneasy and secretly exchanged glances below.

Prince Yi came out from behind Xiao Shiji and looked at the prince's back with lingering fear. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Shiji: "Go back and sort out our people. If there is anything wrong, we will all do it."

..." He made a sweeping gesture on his hand.——You can't be merciful to traitors.

Xiao Shiji's face suddenly became serious, he nodded slightly, "Follow your orders."

On the east side of the main hall, there is a two-foot-high valerian screen with sixteen coiled dragons and golden phoenixes. It has a frame of huanghuali wood and Yuzhou specialty shark gauze cloth.

It's really magical to see human figures.

Princess Pingle Qi Yanzhi and her palace maids stood behind the screen, watching the movements in the hall through the screen.

Princess Pingle was a little dissatisfied when she caught a glimpse of Concubine Wan Gui sitting motionless next to her father. She was also the direct daughter of the late Empress Ouyang Zi, and together with Prince Qi Renzhi and Prince Yi County Qi Yizhi, they were three siblings from the same mother.

Prince Yi's face was even more livid. He didn't care about the prince's strange behavior just now and wanted to speak out for the prince.

But the prince surprised everyone. He raised his hands, grabbed the wedding silk, and slowly bowed in the direction of Emperor Yongchang and Concubine Wan Gui.

The princess was very surprised, but the prince already worshiped him. She had no choice but to follow him and worship him.

With a smile on her face, Concubine Wan Gui whispered to Emperor Yongchang: "His Royal Highness is really a filial person."

Emperor Yongchang was also very satisfied and said with emotion: "After all, it's different after we get married."

Prince Yi's fists clenched loudly, and he felt like stars were popping up in front of his eyes. He wished he could knock the prince to the ground with one punch. How could he worship that woman!

The eldest son of the late empress, the current Crown Prince, when paying homage to Gaotang, actually paid homage to a concubine who was born as a concubine!

When the civil servants, military generals and clan members in the hall saw this scene, they all had their own concerns and started fighting with Xiao Jiujiu.

The prince is elegant and gentle. He is very influential among the civil servants. Prince Yi has always been the one who leads the army. Most of the military officers and nobles follow the lead of Prince Yi. The family is fine. Most of them support the prince. Because Prince Yi actually

Born from the same mother as the prince, there is nothing to argue with.

Some people just lamented that fortunately the son born to Concubine Wan Gui was dead. If he were still alive, the whole court of Da Qi Dynasty would not be so harmonious.

Of course, His Majesty is in his prime, and Concubine Wan Gui is not too old either. Maybe there will be a prince in the future.

It remains to be seen who will win.

Therefore, many people have a wait-and-see attitude and do not want to help each other.

The prince looked solemn, went through the wedding procedures meticulously, and led the princess into the bridal chamber.

Concubine Wan Gui looked at the retreating figures of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and couldn't help wiping her tears and said: "If my Li'er were still alive, it would be time for me to become a mother-in-law, and it would be time for me to marry him a wife."

Emperor Yongchang sighed, held Concubine Wan Gui's hand, and said with a warm smile: "Today is the prince's happy day, why are you saying those words? If you have a son in a few years, I will still make him a prince."

Concubine Wan Gui choked, took out a silk cloth to wipe her tears, and said with a smile through her tears: "Your Majesty is really good at joking." After saying this, she happened to see Princess Pingle leaving the East Palace with her maids and chamberlains, and she thought of her daughter Princess Qianjin Qi Huan.

Then, tears fell down again, "It's a pity that Huan'er can't come to watch the ceremony."

Emperor Yongchang thought of his youngest daughter, Qianjin Princess Qi Huanzhi, who had broken her hip while dancing the Hu Xuan Dance, and asked quickly: "Is her injury completely healed? Didn't she say last time that three months of rest would be enough?"

"

Concubine Wan Gui nodded listlessly, "Okay, I got out of bed and walked around a few times yesterday."

Emperor Yongchang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "It turns out that this doctor is really powerful. I will reward her heavily!"

"No!" Concubine Wan Gui said flatly, her voice a little louder, and those who were closer to them opened their ears to listen.

Emperor Yongchang pursed his lips, stepped down from the throne, and walked to the door without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, take off!" the chamberlain holding Fochen shouted quickly, and the ministers in the palace hurriedly bowed and saluted, watching Emperor Yongchang go away.

Concubine Wan Gui chased after her, carrying her long dress, and trotted all the way to the chariot outside the East Palace. Holding the mast of the chariot, she said eagerly to Emperor Yongchang: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. Huan.

My son's illness is cured, but her legs, I don't know how the quack doctor treated them, turned out that one leg is long and the other is short. She walks one high and one low, just like a lame person. Huan'er cried so much that she fainted several times..."

Emperor Yongchang was moved and asked: "Oh, is there such a thing? Take me to see it." He motioned Concubine Wan Gui to lead the way and did not let her get on the chariot.

Concubine Wan Gui had no choice but to walk in front, leading Emperor Yongchang's chariot to Princess Qianjin's palace.

Princess Qianjin cried and made a fuss in her bedroom again, throwing broken porcelain pieces all over the room.

Because His Majesty and Concubine Wan Gui were here, the maids serving in the princess's palace hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the floor.

Emperor Yongchang and Concubine Wan Gui walked in, and Princess Qianjin got up from the bed and cried out sadly: "Father, Emperor, mother..." After saying that, she stood up and took a few steps forward. It was really awkward indescribable.

.

"Why are your legs like this?" Emperor Yongchang was also extremely distressed. A princess who was as beautiful as a flower had just turned into a long and short leg. How should this debt be settled?

Concubine Wan Gui said: "The imperial physician in the palace said that it was the delay in treating Huan'er's injuries that caused her hip bones to become abnormal, which affected her walking."

"Then there's no way to cure it?" Emperor Yongchang asked with his hands behind his back, "Maybe there is a way among the doctors."

When Princess Qianjin heard the words "Zhu Langzhong", she immediately became angry and shouted: "It's all her! If it weren't for her random actions, how could I be like this?" As she said this, she raised her head and lowered her head.

He came to Emperor Yongchang and tugged on his sleeves and said coquettishly, "Father, father, I don't care about you. Please punish that Zhu Su Su severely so that I can vent the hatred in my heart."

Concubine Wan Gui also nodded in agreement. "Your Majesty, this is the way it is. Otherwise, this swindling quack doctor will know how to deceive the world, steal his reputation, and harm people's lives."

Emperor Yongchang suddenly changed his face. He had personally promised that even if Princess Qianjin's injury could not be cured, he would not blame Zhu Susu.

Now Zhu Susu has cured Princess Qianjin's bone injury, and she can walk on the ground. But if he is asked to cure Zhu Susu's sin, wouldn't he be burdened with the reputation of "going back on his word"?!

Emperor Yongchang cherished feathers the most. He was not willing to punish Zhu Susu for this. He just lowered his face and asked: "Zhu Langzhong did cure your high fever. Later, your bone injuries were also taken care of by Zhu Susu. If not

With her, you will be lying in bed paralyzed all the time. Not only are you ungrateful, but you want to punish her for her sins. If you make trouble like this, who else will be willing to treat you if you get sick in the future?"

Princess Qianjin was spoiled by Emperor Yongchang and Concubine Wan Gui. She could not listen to orders.

Emperor Yongchang's words this time were like inserting a knife into her heart.

Princess Qianjin cried and fell on the bed again.

Emperor Yongchang suddenly felt a little bored.

On the big day, both of them were crying, and they were not afraid of offending the prince.

I think back then, when Ouyang Zi was still alive, she never felt sorry for Concubine Wan Gui and her two children. Originally, Ouyang Zi was the legitimate mother, and Concubine Wan Gui was a concubine at that time, so she could not take care of her children in person. At first, the children were carried

When leaving, Mrs. Wan cried day and night. She had no choice but to go to Ouyang Zi and ask her if she could take care of the child for a few days. Ouyang Zi immediately sent the child back to Wan without saying a word.

He takes care of the children himself.

After that, Qi Huanzhi was born, and Ouyang Ziti did not even mention taking the child over to raise him.

Mrs. Wan pretended not to remember, as she had raised both children with her own hands.

The children raised by women from small families are all very small-minded.

Emperor Yongchang shook his head and walked out.

Concubine Wan Gui was anxious and hurriedly chased after Emperor Yongchang and grabbed Emperor Yongchang's great dress with sea water pattern and dragon embroidery, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please say something."

Emperor Yongchang turned around and saw Concubine Wan Gui's eyes as swollen as two peaches. He said impatiently: "Zhu Susu has done meritorious service in saving the princess. He should have been rewarded, but he delayed the best opportunity to save the princess and needs to be punished. Such merits and demerits

On the contrary, Zhu Susu should go back to Haosheng and open a medical clinic."

Concubine Wan Gui saw that after going in circles for so long, Your Majesty still refused to take Zhu Susu to prison, she became even more angry and couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and the whole world belongs to you.

Yes, you can do whatever you want, why don’t you punish Zhu Susu severely? Not to mention confiscating her family and exterminating her family, at least she should be exiled to Liaodong?"

"How outrageous!" Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but said angrily, "I have issued an order, and you still have an opinion. Do you want to resist the order?"

Concubine Wan Gui didn't know which of her words was wrong. She was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and looked up at Emperor Yongchang pitifully.

"After all, even though she comes from a small family, her behavior is still much worse than that of a noble daughter from a real aristocratic family." Emperor Yongchang compared Wan and Ouyang Zi again in his heart. The more they compared, the more he felt that he had neglected Ouyang Zi.

, and I felt very uncomfortable.

When Concubine Wan Gui heard these words, she felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck her. Her frail body swayed before she stopped feeling like she was about to faint. Her heart was so painful that she could not speak.

In the main hall of the prince's east palace, because Emperor Yongchang had already left, the guests who came to watch the ceremony also left in twos and threes.

Xiao Shiji remembered Du Hengshuang, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Prince Yi and came to the side hall to look for her.

Du Hengshuang, wearing a lotus green mink cloak with broken branches and peony patterns, stood quietly under the verandah in front of the side hall. Zhu Susu stood beside her and watched Xiao Shiji walking over.
