After Zhang Qingjiu left with the prince's carriage, Zhang Tailiu couldn't sleep anymore.
On the one hand, he was angry with Zhang Qingjiu, and on the other hand, he was confused about what happened in the Prince's Mansion, so that he came to call for help in the middle of the night.
Something big happened in the Prince's Mansion.
Chu Lan's work and rest schedule has always been very regular, and she will fall asleep as soon as it's xu.
But Chu Lan didn't feel sleepy at all this night.
For some reason, he remembered the words of the girl he met three days ago.
She said that at midnight three days later, he would die.
Feng Zhi did not hear this sentence, but it poured straight into his ears.
There was a candlestick not far away, and the wick was shaking when the wind came in from the window.
The reason why Feng Zhi was angry and unwelcome was because he felt that this girl was talking nonsense and crazy, and her words even contained a hint of curse.
As for what she said, Feng Zhi naturally wouldn't believe it.
But Chu Lan had to think about it.
Because he knew that what the girl said was most likely the truth - starting from the moment she told her about her bowl of golden bird's nest soup.
Today's people in the Prince's Mansion all came in when he went out to establish the palace when he was ten years old. Where did those who served him in the palace ten years ago go, or are they still in this world? He himself
Don't even know.
Because those people know a secret that cannot be known to the world.
When he was ten years old, he almost died once.
If an old Taoist priest hadn't appeared that night, his life would have been lost.
But what is very miraculous is that after that night, he no longer had any physical problems, and he rarely had any minor problems.
So many years later, even his father, the emperor and his mother seemed to have forgotten that he originally had a sick body that was brought out from his mother's womb.
But he will not forget it, because that bowl of bird's nest soup has never been broken since that night.
Even so, because when there was a new change of people in the palace ten years ago, under the express request of the emperor and empress, the people of the prince's palace have been serving carefully for decades.
For example, the wind stops.
Ever since he entered the house, he has been serving him closely. He would not leave Chu Lan's room when he went to bed at night. He would be half asleep next door. Whenever there was any movement at night, he would always be the first to hear it.
He is called a role model for servants in the house.
Another example is tonight.
Although Chu Lan had ordered him to get up, after knowing that he had said the wrong thing and offended him, he still knelt down honestly, just in a place where he could see Chu Lan but Chu Lan couldn't see him.
So as not to upset His Highness the Crown Prince.
Chu Lan opened his eyes and watched the firelight on the candlestick flickering quietly. He had not taken the bird's nest soup in the past few days, and he could clearly feel that something was wrong with his body.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chu Lan felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. There seemed to be a mask slowly sinking above his head, covering his cheeks. Then there was a suffocating feeling, as if someone was pinching him hard.
his neck.
Then there were hands, bit by bit extracting the vitality from his body...
He had this feeling when he was ten years old, and nine years later, it was still so clear.
The pain this time seemed to be even worse than when she was ten years old. Chu Lan deeply realized that she might really die this time.
Is this the end?
His whole body was cold. At the moment when he lost consciousness, Chu Lan almost exhausted all his energy to pull the dark purple belt on the edge of his bed.
The wind chimes on the edge of the bed made a "whispering" sound.
Feng Zhi almost jumped up from the ground, but he did not forget that he was being punished and could only wait quietly for His Highness's instructions.
But after waiting for a while, I heard no movement inside.
At this moment, Feng Zhi panicked and rushed in. The first thing he saw was Chu Lan's arm hanging weakly on the edge of the golden nanmu bed.
Feng Zhi, who had never seen such a scene, hurriedly invited Shangguan Que, the imperial physician who lived in the mansion, to come over.
Although he had never known why there was an imperial doctor living in the Prince's Mansion all the time, and even had an independent yard where he could grow flowers and grass, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he seemed to understand something.
Feng Zhi almost burst into tears.
After Shangguan Que glanced at Chu Lan, his expression suddenly changed.
Without saying anything, he directly asked them to send people to the palace to invite His Majesty and the Queen, and then he took out the silver needle and started to rescue.
Soon, Chu Wei, who was dressed in plain clothes, took the queen to the Prince's Mansion. When he saw this scene, the queen, who had always been dignified and elegant, fainted. Even the emperor, who was impervious to wind and rain, looked extremely solemn at this moment.
Chu Lan's breathing was very weak, and if you didn't look carefully, you would almost think it no longer existed.
Accompanying them was another imperial physician from the imperial hospital, Shangguan Que's father, Shangguan Yu.
The father and son had the same serious expressions. After looking at each other, they did not dare to make a move easily.
"Your Majesty, the prince's vitality is like the fallen leaves in autumn, and it is on the decline..." Shangguan Yu said it even though he knew that saying this would probably make him lose his head.
Just because he said these words nine years ago.
"It's ridiculous. In the past nine years, the prince has been in good health and has never shown signs of decline. Are you telling me this today?" Chu Wei waved his sleeves angrily and his eyes were red.
This is his first son, the only son from his beloved wife, and naturally his most beloved son.
"Your Majesty." Shangguan Yu knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "His Royal Highness, the body of the Crown Prince is no different from that of ordinary people before he gets sick, but once he gets sick, he will be very menacing."
"Shangguan Yu, I don't care what you say, if anything happens to Lan'er, I'll ask you for it!" Chu Wei's face was deep, but he didn't dare to look at the gray-white Chu Lan on the bed.
Why was his son, who was standing in front of me so proudly in the morning and silenced a bunch of old and scholarly ministers with just a few words, suddenly told that he couldn't do it anymore?
Shangguan Yu had no choice but to continue discussing treatment methods with Shangguan Que.
In the chaos of war, Feng Zhi, who was cold all over, thought of what Zhang Qingjiu had said a few days ago.
She said that if you have any problems, you can go to her at any time and she can save the crown prince.
Although this sentence still sounds ridiculous now, when he heard that the imperial doctor said that there was no hope of saving, he couldn't help but rushed out and asked Huo Wu to bring Zhang Qingjiu no matter what.
People who are desperate always like to do things like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
This was the scene where the guards from the Prince's Palace went to the Prime Minister's Palace late at night.
When Huo Wu galloped back to the Prince's Mansion with Zhang Qingjiu, Zhang Qingjiu saw two strong auras condensed above the entire Prince's Mansion.
Those are the traces of some people's luck dissipating before they die. Most people can't see it, but Zhang Qingjiu is very familiar with it.
But it seems a little strange that this destiny that should have been dissipated between heaven and earth, waiting for the next person in the world who meets the destiny to come into the world, seems to be condensing in the same place.
However, Zhang Qingjiu could not think so much at the moment.
Because the dissipation of such strong luck meant that Chu Lan was really going to die.
She didn't want to watch them follow other people's souls before her soul came back.
