After Emperor Shunyuan left, Wang Xiu and the prince went to the tea room to talk.
Imperial envoy Sun gave King An the medicine according to her prescription. Seeing that King An had indeed improved, he hurriedly came to report happily.
Wang Xiu was about to leave, but before leaving, he found an excuse to check the prince's pulse.
However, no problem was diagnosed. Instead, when the prince sent Wang Xiu out of the tea room, he took the initiative and said: "Everything you saw just now was all faked by me."
Wang Xiu was stunned and said "Ah" in disbelief, his eyes full of astonishment.
Then the prince smiled, looked at the huge palace and said: "Things in the palace are more complicated than you think. You can't resolve them with just a few words, but I know very well that if I am sick, my father will not care.
On to something else.”
"I used this trick on him a lot when I was a kid, but as I grew up, I didn't bother to do it, so he gradually forgot about it."
Wang Xiu still found it unbelievable. Is this the kind and honest Crown Prince in her mind? There was a cunningness about him, like a sinister fox.
In a daze, she thought she saw Lu Yunhong.
After a while, Wang Xiucai said: "Your Highness, it's okay. You really scared me just now."
"I once saw one case, just one, but it still remains fresh in my memory."
The prince's eyes flashed slightly, and a lazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What kind of case makes you still feel scared when you think about it?"
Wang Xiudao: "She is not my patient. I heard that her situation is somewhat special, so I rushed over to see her."
"The doctor who treated her at that time said that her disease had been cured, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly relapsed. And it was worse than before, and all the symptomatic drugs had no effect."
"When I went to see her, she was curled up in the corner of the bed in pain, yelling at us to get out. She said that if we didn't leave, we wouldn't be able to leave."
"The doctors didn't leave. They all tried to comfort her and give her medicine. But she brought a chair and smashed it over, breaking the windows. In the end, the doctors could only forcefully give her medicine and let her sleep first."
"But that is not a long-term solution after all. She is like a different person. She no longer recognizes all her relatives and friends, and her memory is getting shorter and shorter, until...she is the only one in her world, which is like a closed
Just like myself."
After hearing this, the prince was frightened, but it didn't show on his face at all.
The moment that strange feeling came over, everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, and in his eyes, there was only one figure left...
If one day he is really trapped by his illness, does that mean that he is not the only one in his world?
The prince concealed his confused gaze and said with a smile: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, there is nothing strange about it."
"I asked Hua Zimo to get you some soothing incense. It's unique to the palace. It won't hurt you if you don't use it. You go back and have a good sleep."
Wang Xiu nodded slightly, feeling that the old emperor and the prince had attacks at the same time tonight, which indeed frightened her a little.
When Huazi Mo was brought, Wang Xiu discovered that it was not spices, but ointment. No wonder the prince said he didn't need any.
The small green bottle had a jade rabbit and golden osmanthus delicately depicted on the outside. When she opened it, she found that the inside was actually scented with osmanthus.
The small bottle took up less than a third of the space in the palm of his hand. Wang Xiu asked curiously: "Is it made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The prince shook his head and said, "It's made by the imperial hospital."
Wang Xiu immediately said to envoy Sun Yuan: "Envoy Sun Yuan, you are not kind, why don't you give me a bottle?"
Envoy Sun Yuan quickly said: "This spice is particularly difficult to make, and it has to be just like this..."
The prince interrupted Sun Yuanshi's words and said to Wang Xiu: "Everything in the palace is recorded. Without the royal permission, he dare not make the decision privately."
Wang Xiudao: "That was my mistake, please don't take it to heart, Mr. Sun."
Sun Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly. It wasn't that he couldn't decide on royal things, but the materials for making the ointment were too hard to find. There were only three bottles in total, one in the hands of the emperor and one in the hands of the eldest princess.
He wanted to use the remaining bottle to make sandalwood incense for the prince, but who knew that the prince wanted to make osmanthus incense.
But he remembered that the prince didn't like the fragrance of osmanthus very much in the past.
But now he probably knows...
When Wang Xiu got the balm, he was not polite and gave the prince two bottles of health pills as a gift, which can regulate the body.
Having taken what was due, Wang Xiu was ready to leave.
At this time, the prince came over and said, "I'll give it to you!"
Wang Xiudao: "What can I do? I can just ask Mr. Hua to give it to me."
Father Hua pursed his lips and smiled, but did not dare to answer.
Wang Xiu didn't care. Anyway, there would be palace officials to guide her.
But when she left, she found that the prince was following her. Seeing this, Wang Xiu stopped and waited. He sighed and said: "Your Highness, you are so polite, I will be embarrassed to enter the palace next time."
.”
The prince smiled calmly and said: "This palace is not a good place. When it is lively, there is noisy everywhere. When it is quiet, the surroundings are like a deserted courtyard. If you can't help it, don't come."
Wang Xiuque said: "Outsiders can say this because they feel that the deep palace is full of restrictions and there is no freedom. But the prince said this because he is lonely, right?"
"However, Her Royal Highness the Princess often comes to the palace. It must be possible for Her Royal Highness to feel the company and care of her relatives, and to feel that she is not alone all the time."
The prince said deliberately: "I can't compare to you and Lu Yunhong, who live happily every day."
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Of course, because we are ministers, and we just have to do our duty as ministers. But His Highness is different. He has to worry about the livelihood of all the people, so it will naturally be harder."
The prince was also amused by her sincerity and said: "It would be great if everyone could think like you. What is in this palace is not all glory and wealth, but...the mission to bear the world's common people."
The two people talked as they walked towards the palace gate.
Hua Zimo followed not far away, lowering his head quietly, thinking that it would be nice if the road was longer.
It has been a long time since His Highness the Crown Prince has been in such a leisurely mood, walking and chatting in a very relaxed manner.
At this moment, a hand was placed on Hua Zimo's shoulder. Hua Zimo was frightened and turned around, only to find that it was Li Defu.
It turned out that Emperor Shunyuan was worried about the prince's health. When he heard that Wang Xiu was leaving the palace, he specially asked Li Defu to ask.
As a result, Li Defu saw the prince escorting Wang Xiu out of the palace, and the figures of the two people walking away from each other were as beautiful as a picture scroll that stretched to no end.
In a daze, Li Defu seemed to see the scene where the former Emperor Shunyuan and the late Queen returned to the palace hand in hand. The two hearts were in love, and their love was deep and touching...
At that time, just like Hua Zimo now, he always felt that he was redundant.
The past is like the wind. The moment the wind passes by, only regret and melancholy remain.
Hua Zimo didn't know Li Defu's thoughts were changing, but he asked with some worry: "You are here like this? But the emperor..."
Li Defu shook his head and said: "No, the emperor is worried about His Highness the Crown Prince, so he sent me to ask."
Hua Zimo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Madam Lu has already checked her pulse. There is no danger."
Li Defu didn't feel happy after hearing this.
He looked at the two people in front of him and thought with infinite melancholy, it turned out that this was "fate but not fate".
If the prince had married Wang Xiu, then there might have been an extra couple in the palace.
pity……
Seeing that Li Defu was silent, Hua Zimo followed his gaze and didn't know what to say.
He explained: "The prince is just worried about Mrs. Lu leaving the palace alone..."
But this explanation is feeble.
Li Defu looked like someone who had come before, smiled, patted Hua Zimo on the shoulder and said: "They say the emperor's family is ruthless, but the two of us are lucky enough to have two masters who value love and righteousness."
"Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince knows what's going on."
Hua Zimo nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Li Defu would misunderstand and say a few words in front of the emperor, which would be very bad for both the prince and Mrs. Lu.
