In recent days, rumors had been spreading in the palace.
It was said that the Crown Prince's illness was getting more and more serious. In the past few days, there had been many imperial physicians coming in and out of the Crown Prince Palace, but none of them were willing to say what was going on. It was as if they were guarding the secret tightly. Moreover, he had never seen the Crown Prince come out, let alone the fact that the Crown Prince's daily greetings to the Emperor had been canceled.
Luo Xi stood uneasily at the head of the bed. The pink curtains were pulled down and surrounded the bed, making it impossible to see the person lying inside. At this moment, the already fragile Li Zhan lay motionless on the bed with empty eyes, as if waiting for life to pass by bit by bit.
The imperial physician, who had a suspicious expression on his face, took Li Zhan's pulse and placed his hand behind the curtain.
The Emperor, who had rushed over, immediately ran over and asked," How is it?”
The royal physician, who was already very old, knelt down in front of the Emperor and told him the truth," Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's condition is getting worse. Forgive me for being powerless.”
"What?!" This was bad news that shocked everyone present. Li Chen was already so frightened that he could not stand on his feet. He was supported by Eunuch Wei, who was following beside him.
"Do you mean to wait and see?”Li Chen glared at the imperial doctor and asked loudly.
Through the curtain, no one could see Li Zhan lying on the bed. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled. It was as if he was mocking him, but it was more like a spider lily waiting to thank him.
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"How can it get worse? Didn't you say that as long as you take the medicine on time, you'll be fine? What kind of imperial doctors are you? Think of a way for me, quickly think of a way.”Li Chen's brows furrowed anxiously. He was already worried about the Crown Prince to the point of having a headache.
Eunuch Wei, who was beside him, felt sorry for the Crown Prince, but he did not know what to do." Emperor, don't be angry. The dragon body is important!”
Luo Xi, who was waiting by the bedside, had been suppressing her emotions. She was so calm that the Crown Prince's illness seemed to have nothing to do with her. She was just doing what a maid should do and standing quietly.
"Emperor, send the crown prince to Honglan Temple!”the imperial physician said.
"That's right, Emperor. In the past, when the Crown Prince's condition worsened, it was always Master Dekong who helped.”Eunuch Wei said.
"Go prepare!" Li Chen said," No one is allowed to mention anything about this place. If I hear you, I'll kill you."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone retreated. Luo Xi fetched a basin of water and placed it on the bed. The curtain was pulled open. Li Zhan was lying on the bed without any blood, sleeping soundly, but she couldn't feel his breath.
After wringing the towel dry, Luo Xi wiped Li Zhan's face. It was a very light movement, afraid of waking him up.
"Your Highness, hold on a little longer. As long as we leave the palace, it will be fine.”Luo Xi stared at his face and said lightly.
Li Chen, who had returned to the royal study, thought about it for a long time. He kept feeling that something was strange. Why was Zhan 'er's illness more serious than he had expected?
"Park Hyok!" Li Chen called out. Immediately, the window was opened, and a gust of wind blew. Park Hyok, who was dressed in black, appeared behind Li Chen like a phantom." Master!”
"Zhan 'er's condition is getting worse. Go ask Luo Xi!”Li Chen turned around and said to Park Hyok.
" I know," Park Hyok replied with his head lowered.
"I…don't want to see him die so quickly.”Li Chen said. His tone was mixed with helplessness. It was an emotion that no one could not understand.
Park Hyok's head was still lowered, and a complicated look flashed across his usually cold eyes.
"By the way, did you find anything at the tomb?”Li Chen asked.
"Master's guess is correct, there are indeed traces of someone coming here! However, he did not know if it was that child.”Park Hyok said.
"Is that so?" Li Chen turned the jade ring in his finger and pondered.
The news that the Crown Prince was going to Honglan Temple spread like wildfire. The Crown Prince's Palace was filled with busy figures, all preparing for the Crown Prince.
Furong stood in the curved corridor, her line of sight just facing the Crown Prince's residence. A luxurious car was prepared there, but the Crown Prince did not come out.
Xiao Ge, who was behind her, came forward and whispered," Princess, Lord Su Tu sent a pigeon over to say that he has already sent someone to pick us up outside the palace.”
"I don't want to go back to Beiliao yet." Fleur stared at the crown prince's residence and never moved her eyes away, let alone blink.
"Then Princess wants to…?"
"I still have to find that person!" Furong said," I won't go back to Bei Liao until I see him.”
Luo Xi helped Li Zhan out of the room. At this moment, Li Zhan was just a little haggard and had no other symptoms. The eunuchs and maidservants who were waiting by his side all stood in two rows to respectfully send him off, because it had been a long time since they had seen the Crown Prince show his face. The only one who could come into contact with the Crown Prince was Luo Xi.
Li Zhan looked at the carriage outside the door. He thought, this is the last time. This is the last time he will be in the palace. He will not be able to return here.
"Your Highness, get in the car!" Luo Xi said, but her heart ached. Even after putting on makeup, he was still so pale.
"Luo Xi." Li Zhan only called her name suddenly.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Luo Xi asked.
"Are we really leaving this place?" Li Zhan asked.
"Yes, let's go to Honglan Temple."
Li Zhan wanted to laugh, but he felt powerless." She left and won't come back."”
"Luo Xi will accompany you and His Highness.”If he left, she would never let him return. Luo Xi would use her life to guarantee it.
Luo Xi accompanied Li Zhan to sit in the carriage. The space of the carriage could accommodate more than ten people. There was a red carpet and a blanket inside. Because Li Zhan was not feeling well, he might not be able to adapt to the jolts of the carriage, so he specially made a bed for Li Zhan to lie on.
Li Zhan leaned in Luo Xi's arms and fell asleep. He was very quiet, like a child. Luo Xi knew that the carriage had already left the palace.
She took his hand and held it gently." Your Highness's hand is really cold.”
No one answered, and no one spoke. She was talking to herself.
"We have already left the palace."
On the bustling street, Cai 'er followed Qiuyue Niang's footsteps to the clothing store.
"Mother, are you going to choose a fabric for me?”Cai 'er asked. Looking at the gorgeous and colorful fabric, she felt that it would be quite good to touch it.
"Boss, do you have any fabric for the newcomers? I want something better." Qiuyue Niang didn't pay attention to Cai 'er's question.
"Yes, Madam, please wait a moment!" The owner of this shop was a young man. Hearing Qiuyue Niang's words, he noticed Cai 'er standing behind Qiuyue Niang, and couldn't help but ask politely," Madam is choosing a new outfit for your daughter, right?”
"No!" Qiuyue Niang said.
The boss chuckled to cover up his wrong judgment.
"Newbie costume?" Cai 'er came over and asked in surprise,"Mother, who wants to be a newcomer?"”
"It's Ah Xiao. Mother is helping her and Yi Shui choose.”Qiuyue Niang said.
"Sister Ah Xiao is finally going to marry Third Uncle?”Cai 'er was pleasantly surprised, happier than anyone else.
"What are you happy about?"
"How can I not be happy? I've been optimistic about the two of them since they were young. If Sister Ah Xiao becomes the bride, I can be the bridesmaid.”Cai 'er said, actually muttering in her heart that she wanted Yu Feng to be Third Uncle's bridesmaid. At this time, the boss brought over a few bright red fabrics and placed them in front of Qiuyue Niang.
"Which one should I choose?" Qiuyue Niang flipped through it and pondered.
"This one embroidered with phoenix fabric will be used as the bride's dress. As for the groom's dress, it's usually not a red robe or an official robe. The so-called ninth-grade official uniform, phoenix crown and shawl. If he made a wide-sleeved shirt for Third Uncle, he might look very handsome.”Cai 'er said with a smile, but Qiuyue Niang suddenly covered her mouth. Cai' er, who hadn't reacted in time, stared at Qiuyue Niang in horror, only to receive a glare from Qiuyue Niang, telling her to shut up. Cai 'er was already thinking in her heart, did she say something wrong?
Qiuyue Niang smiled awkwardly and let go of Cai 'er, while the shop owner looked at the two of them suspiciously. What did this mean? Why couldn't he understand?
"Boss, just these two!" Qiuyue Niang didn't even look at it, casually practicing two, and then quickly paid for it, urging Cai 'er to leave with the cloth.
And Cai 'er's thoughts were still on her mother's inexplicable actions just now.
"Mother?" Cai 'er called out to Qiuyue Niang,"Did I say something wrong just now?"”
Cai 'er's question was met with Qiuyue Niang's glare," In the future, don't mention anything about wide sleeves, wide sleeves are the clothes of the newcomers of the Han Dynasty. This is the Southern Kingdom, and anything related to the Han Dynasty is forbidden.”
"Why?" Cai 'er didn't understand.
"Do you want to be charged with treason?”
"How is Guangxiu related to treason?”
"Stop asking."
"I was just saying." Cai 'er felt somewhat wronged.
"I can't say it either."
"Wasn't the Han Dynasty destroyed long ago?”Cai 'er asked.
"Why are you still asking these questions?" Seeing Cai 'er speak again, Qiuyue Niang couldn't help but knock her head.
"I won't say anymore."
