sick princess

"Princess, I heard from this servant that it was Concubine Hui who was worried about the emperor's illness, and asked Concubine Chu to find a Taoist priest who did not know where to come for the emperor. During this process, Concubine Zhuang also contributed a lot. This Taoist priest just offered A few elixir, the emperor's spirit has improved a lot, now, this Taoist priest is respected by the emperor as a 'living god', and he is so beautiful in the palace, even the concubine Hui is also proud."

Baoluo felt that something was wrong: "In the previous dynasty, several emperors died violently because of taking pills. When our dynasty-tai-zu founded the country, we established a rule that future generations were not allowed to seek immortals and ask for medicines. How could the father and emperor be so confused? , disregarding the family law of the ancestors? If it spreads out, the father may provoke criticism from the officials again."

The prince came down to visit his sister, and happened to have a panoramic view of Baoluo's pensive state.As she got older, Baoluo became better and better, with picturesque eyebrows and icy muscles, but her face was a little too pale, which made her more slender and weak, and there was an inexplicable aura lingering around her body. Disappointment and melancholy.

He waved his hand and ordered the attendants who came in with him to watch outside, while he stepped forward and flicked Baoluo's forehead with his fingers: "Have you used your medicine today? Let you take care of yourself and stop worrying about those trivial matters." , you are disobedient."

"Oh, it hurts so much, brother prince, you are bullying!" Baoluo touched the place where the prince hit, pouted, showing a look of grievance.

It was just a static picture of a beauty, but when it came to the prince, it suddenly came alive.

The prince wanted to laugh when he saw his sister's charming and angry appearance, but he straightened his face again: "If you are obedient, how could you be like this?"

"When is it now, how can I calm down and recuperate?" Although Baoluo knew that there was no one around, she still lowered her voice: "When will I solve all those people with ulterior motives? Be down-to-earth, otherwise, I am afraid that I will fall into the way of others."

How could the prince not know this truth?

He also wanted Baoluo to ignore everything and take good care of his body, but right now he couldn't.

Now there is a lot of undercurrents in this palace, even though nobleman Zhou has gone, there are Concubines Hui and Concubine Zhuang, not to mention the empress dowager who is eyeing him behind.Although Empress Xu has improved a lot over the years, it is still very difficult for her to cope with this situation, and Baoluo has to worry a lot.

"If your sister-in-law is in charge and can share some of the burden for you, you don't have to work so hard." The prince said flatly.

Baoluo heard the prince's tone, and knew that the relationship between the prince and the princess was not very good.

It's no secret, though.

The Crown Princess was pointed out to the Crown Prince by Emperor Zhaode, and she is the youngest daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.This family background is not considered low, but to say that she is a crown princess, she is also a shame. From this bestowed marriage, Emperor Zhaode's wary attitude towards the crown prince can be seen.Moreover, as a young girl, the Crown Princess was pampered by her family at home, so she had a natural innocence. When she first married the Crown Prince, she was picked out by the concubines in the harem for several mistakes.With such a temperament, the prince naturally does not expect her to share the worries of Empress Xu and Baoluo.

However, the prince's dislike for the princess is not entirely due to his personality.The concubine's natal family, as the prince's family, should be one of the prince's most solid backings, but compared to the prince, the Ministry of Industry's Minister's House seems to be closer to Emperor Zhaode, so it is impossible for the prince not to have a grudge in his heart.

Due to various factors, the prince and princess became more and more divorced.

"Sister-in-law went to accompany Concubine Zhu again today?" Baoluo asked.

The prince pursed his lips: "Not bad."

Hearing this, Baoluo really didn't know what to say.

This Concubine Zhu is the cousin of the Crown Princess, and she is considered to be the elder of the Crown Princess.However, there is another layer.In terms of distance and intimacy, shouldn't Empress Xu, a decent mother-in-law, be better served by her?Otherwise, it would be good to go to Emperor Zhaode's Qianyuan Palace to show off.

Serious father-in-law and mother-in-law don't pay filial piety, but spend all day talking with a cousin, which is really confusing.

"Forget it, let's not mention her, let's talk about the business. You must have heard about the fact that Concubine Hui recommended a Taoist priest to the emperor, right?" Right now it's an eventful time, and the prince really doesn't have the experience to quarrel with the concubine. , as long as she doesn't cause any trouble, let her go.

Baoluo frowned and said: "That's right, I was just talking about it. Tai-zu once explicitly prohibited the children of the royal family from taking pills. Concubine Hui is ignorant, so it's nothing more than recommending Taoist priests to the father. Why did the father believe in that?" A Taoist priest? Could it be that the emperor is not afraid of the courtiers' criticism?"

"I'm afraid, our royal father can't take care of those criticisms right now." The prince sneered, "I heard that after taking a few pills, not only the father's spirit recovered, but the other half of his body gradually became conscious. Now that there is hope for improvement, how can the father let it go?"

The more Baoluo heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong: "In this world, is there really such an effective elixir? As early as when the father's illness worsened, you, brother, wrote a book and begged the national teacher to help. Even the national teacher is so knowledgeable. People in Guangxi have no way to do it, can a mere Taoist priest really cure the father?"

"Naturally, my father is just drinking poison to quench his thirst. Concubine Hui put the Taoist priest next to my father, and she must have some good intentions. Now, my father trusts the Taoist priest very much. I am afraid that the Taoist priest will Put some slanderous words against us in the ears of the father."

"It's only been a few days since I didn't go to serve the sick, and something like this happened. I really can't relax for a while." Annoyed look appeared on Baoluo's face.If it weren't for her body being so useless, how could it be an opportunity for others to take advantage of?

The prince patted her hand lightly: "It's not your fault, it's just that you are by my father's side. If Concubine Hui wants to introduce that Taoist priest to my father, can you stop it? Right now, we need to guard against it." , Concubine Hui made trouble through this Taoist priest."

Baoluo thought for a while: "Could it be that concubine Hui wants to designate you and me as disaster stars, so that the emperor will completely dislike us? If she doesn't get rid of our two obtrusive stones, how will she pave the way for the sixth brother?"

"It's possible, but if a person wants to torment others, there is definitely more than one way. Concubine Hui is in a hurry to put the sixth emperor on the throne, and I'm afraid she will use some more drastic means to deal with us."

The theory of calamity, after all, is illusory and cannot immediately cause a devastating blow to Baoluo and the prince.

However, for a while, the prince couldn't think of any other means that Concubine Hui would use.

"We can't just wait for concubine Hui to make a move. Can we act first and get rid of that Taoist priest?" Baoluo's eyes sharpened.

If we really waited for Concubine Hui and the Taoist priest to make a move, even if the crown prince and Baoluo could handle it, they would be very passive.

The prince shook his head: "Father now has a lot of trust in that Taoist priest, unless he catches the Taoist priest's big handle, otherwise, it will be difficult."
