For two days in a row, King Zheng stayed in the cabin to play chess with the emperor. Yang Bupo spent most of the time guarding outside the room, and occasionally he could be seen outside Zhen'er's room.
Zhen'er didn't know that Yang Bupo proposed to Yingluo. In order to let Zhen'er get well soon and avoid unnecessary trouble, Yingluo stayed in Zhen'er's room all day. But things were not as Yingluo thought, not what she thought.
Being quiet can lead to purity.
In the early morning, mist enveloped the lake, and thick moisture condensed in the air.
In the cabin, Yingluo felt very happy when she saw that Zhen'er's complexion was better than the previous few days.
"I think we will arrive in Longze in two days, and you can stay and do some activities."
Zhen'er's eyes were full of gratitude. She originally thought that after getting the contract of betrayal, she would no longer have to be a humble servant. After this incident, she saw that the princess condescended to work hard and stayed by her side to take care of her. Only then did she realize that she
He treats her sincerely.
There were ripples in her eyes, and she said sadly: "Miss, Zhen'er will never forget your kindness."
"Zhen'er, what are you talking about? Since you have been by my side these years, I have long regarded you as my sister."
"What a sisterly love! It makes my sister jealous." Murong Jinxin's voice suddenly appeared at the door.
Yingluo heard someone coming to the door and thought it was Amai, but she didn't expect it to be the queen.
The queen would not go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything to do. She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and said: "Queen, a thousand years old!"
Murong Jinxin hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. He looked at Zhen'er and saw that the two of them had a deep love for each other just now. A concubine and a slave are like birds of a feather.
When Yingluo saw the queen's expression, she was afraid that the queen would spill the beans and told her what happened on the bow of the ship that day.
He took the initiative to ask: "Sister, there must be something going on here. I wonder what it is?"
When Murong Jinxin saw Yingluo, she spoke directly and avoided the foreplay of reminiscing about the past, which was very good. She had gone to see the emperor several times in a row to no avail, and was blocked by the guards every time.
There must be something fishy between the emperor and Prince Zheng. She thought that if the two sisters went together, no one would stop them. "I heard that the emperor and Prince Zheng will play chess in two days, so I invite my sister to go with them."
Although Yingluo didn't know what Prince Zheng was doing, she still found some clues in the past two days. Every time he came back very late, he would go directly to the bed to rest, with a faint look of laziness in his eyes. He would be back to his original state when he got up the next day.
Since King Zheng had something to hide, King Zheng always had his own reasons and sense of propriety in doing things, and he hurriedly agreed: "It turns out that this is what my sister is doing. When she was in the palace, King Zheng was studying an eternal game without success.
It was the prince who brought the chess game here, and it would not be unusual if he became obsessed with it for three days and three nights."
Murong Jinxin saw that Murong Yingluo did not fall into the trap. She treated a slave better than her sister. Since she cared so much about that slave, she should not blame her for being rude.
Just now she saw that she was a little nervous looking at Zhen'er. That day she saw that slave being taken advantage of. The reputation of her daughter's family was so important. Apart from the guard of Prince Zheng, she would never think of marrying anyone in her life.
"My sister is right, but my sister is not thoughtful."
"My sister is the mother of a country, she behaves thoughtfully, and she is in love with the emperor. It is normal for her to miss each other after not seeing each other for a day. But my sister only understands the prince's temper and makes wild assumptions."
"Prince Zheng is able to marry such a considerate wife as my sister. No wonder you are so affectionate. I believe that the palace will have a happy event in some time. The prince marries the princess, and the guard marries the slaves. It is true that the wealth will not go to outsiders."
What are you really afraid of? Fortunately, Amai is also his bodyguard. With the queen's habit of adding insult to injury, she might tell the truth about the situation at the front of the boat. Since ancient times, the reputation of a daughter's family is more important than life. If Zhen'er knew about it, she would not destroy it.
If I don't know her innocence, I'm afraid she will seek death.
Yingluo was busy and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister. There is a faint mist on the lake outside. I am afraid it will rain in the afternoon. The prince did not bring an umbrella when he went out. He thought of sending it to him later. Since my sister is going, I might as well go with her.
go the same way."
In the dragon boat, Si Wushang was reshaping the emperor's meridians, hoping to save the emperor's life. It seemed that only Bupo and his followers were guarding the door, but there were layers of guards. If you tried to explore the situation in the room, you would be discovered.
Outside the room, I heard that Murong Jinxin had come to visit the emperor again, but had been stopped like this for two consecutive days. The emperor did not want Murong Xuan to know about his illness.
"Prince Zheng, it's better to take a rest. I'm afraid the sisters from the Murong family are here to find out."
Si Wushang withdrew his inner strength. After doing this for several hours, he had consumed a huge amount of energy, but he was still a little tired. "Okay!"
The two of them adjusted slightly and sat next to the chessboard, pretending to play chess. The emperor said to the door: "Come in, everyone!"
Murong Jinxin was in front, followed closely by Yingluo, who walked in, lowered her eyes and bowed slightly, "I am here to see the Emperor! Prince Zheng!"
The emperor said gently: "Let's all get flat!"
Murong Yingluo stood up slowly and met her boss's shining eyes. She was Prince Zheng's pillow and was very familiar with everything about Prince Zheng. Although Prince Zheng didn't look tired, his face did lack the luster.
, his face is white and colorless, which is an abnormal complexion. It seems that the cinnabar between his eyebrows has faded a bit.
Yingluo knew that the emperor was ill. The emperor's face was bright and shiny, and he looked good at first glance. His cheeks were faintly flushed, and his lips were well concealed. However, the surrounding lip lines betrayed him. The emperor should be suffering from heart disease.
There are special records in the emperor's medical book on symptoms, and currently this is the only information that can be determined and analyzed.
Murong Jinxin smiled and said: "My sister said it will rain in the afternoon. Looking at the foggy weather, are you afraid it will really rain? My sister was worried about Prince Zheng and came here to deliver an umbrella. The Emperor saw how affectionate they were and didn't care.
It's a waste of my efforts to bring her together." The queen actually pushed everything to Yingluo.
The emperor carefully dropped a chess piece and said with a clear smile: "The queen is absolutely right. This younger brother of mine really deserves to marry a caring wife to take care of his health, so that I can rest assured."
Yingluo's eyes were focused and motionless, looking at the chess piece that the emperor had dropped. Although it was deliberately hidden, her fingernails were rubbed with the llama's fur to make them shiny and shiny.
As a man, he cannot dye it with bright colors like a woman. There are chip-like marks under the nails that go deep into the bones. Even if they are polished, they have not been removed. Could it be that the emperor is suffering from heart failure? It seems that the emperor is heartbroken.
The disease has become very serious.
Si Wushang didn't pay attention at all. He looked up leisurely and saw Yingluo's doubtful eyes staring at the emperor without moving her fingers. His heart suddenly tightened and he realized that something was wrong.
Murong Yingluo once studied the pharmacopoeia, which recorded the disease of heart failure, and it also contained the comments of the late emperor.
