Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 8 2 Emperor Bai Yueguang (7)
"Someone is coming from the Prime Minister's palace!" After settling the frightened Yue Bai and Chu Ji, the doorman came to report, "Someone has been sent to serve tea in the front hall. Please come over, Prime Minister."
Lin Xiang gave his wife a few more instructions and went to the front. There was still some distance between the backyard and the front hall. He wondered why His Majesty had sent someone here. There was such a big commotion today that even the prefect of Jingzhao was alarmed. I'm afraid His Majesty also knew that the prince and his daughter were missing. I just wondered if His Majesty was here to question him. If His Majesty sent someone to question him, how should he plead his case so as not to be reprimanded?
Thinking all the way, he came to the front hall. As soon as Prime Minister Lin entered the room, he knew that the emperor did not send people to question him, because he saw the head of the Imperial Hospital waiting beside him with a medicine box on his back.
As expected, as soon as he stepped into the door, Eunuch Zhang, with his wrinkled old face, smiled, "Oh my goodness! Lord Lin, I have been waiting for you for a long time. This is Lord Chen, the head of the Imperial Hospital. His Majesty heard that the Grand Tutor was not feeling well, so he specially sent me to see the Grand Tutor. I wonder where the Grand Tutor is now and where he can be seen by the head of the Imperial Hospital? His Majesty has always cared for the court officials, so I can go back as soon as possible to comfort His Majesty!"
Logically speaking, the eunuchs in front of the emperor were all arrogant, and Eunuch Zhang knew it well. Because of the relationship with the Grand Tutor, the emperor himself did not dare to do anything to Prime Minister Lin, so as a servant, he naturally had to be more respectful.
Doctor Chen stepped forward and bowed to Prime Minister Lin, "I am here to treat the Master Taifu according to your order. I beg Prime Minister Lin to help me."
Lin also had some guesses about the matter between his son and His Majesty. Since it was His Majesty's business, how could he dare to say more? Fortunately, the two of them did not do anything out of line. Now His Majesty sent someone here for his son's health. He was also worried, so he led the imperial physician to Yue Hua's yard.
When they arrived at Yue Hua's courtyard, Yue Hua had already washed up and lay down in her pajamas. When she heard that the head of the Imperial Hospital was coming to see her, she took an embroidered pillow and leaned against it, thinking that Emperor Xuan was really annoying. He had sent an imperial physician to disturb the emperor even though he had already fallen asleep. She decided to mess up his pulse to scare him. Of course, she knew that the first thing the imperial physician would do when he returned to the palace was not to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, but to go to the Qinzheng Hall to report his current physical condition.
As soon as Doctor Chen entered the room, he saw the Grand Tutor, whom His Majesty was worried about, propped up on the couch with his hands. He probably woke up from sleep just now. There was a layer of water in his eyes. The more he looked at the beauty under the lamp, the more beautiful she became. This elegant Grand Tutor was the best among the beauties, worthy of being the number one young master in the capital. Although he was sickly, his gentle temperament and nobleness in his bones were completely different from those young masters and ladies he often saw. He stepped forward to calm his mind and concentrated on taking her pulse.
As soon as he felt the pulse, Doctor Chen's brows furrowed, which made Eunuch Zhang and Minister Lin standing nearby feel nervous. Minister Lin had heard from the court physician in the afternoon that there was nothing serious, and thought that he just needed to rest for a while. However, judging from the doctor's expression, it seemed that the situation was quite serious. Eunuch Zhang felt even more uncomfortable. If the Tutor was not seriously ill, he could go back and report the good news. If the Tutor was not in good health, the atmosphere in the Qinzheng Palace for the past two months would be ruined... The two of them were waiting with suspense for Doctor Chen to speak.
"Young Master is already weak in Qi and blood, and today he is also very angry. I am afraid..."
"It's okay to send the imperial physician away. I know my own body. It's getting late. Father, you should go to bed early. Eunuch, you have completed your mission and can report back to His Majesty. I will not keep you here." Yue Hua achieved her goal and started to drive people away.
Minister Lin thought that he was just feeling upset, and he was not the type to comfort others, so he gave some instructions and said he would go and see Eunuch Zhang and the imperial physician off.
On his way out, Doctor Chen thought of the fact that Prime Minister Lin had only this one son, but he still had to tell Prime Minister Lin, "Grand Tutor estimates that we have five years at most, so the Prime Minister should be mentally prepared." After saying that, he left with Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang also heard this and his face turned pale. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of wrath he would encounter when he returned to report to the emperor, but on second thought, he decided to let the doctor tell the emperor the news. Professional matters should of course be done by professionals.
Of course, Doctor Chen was no fool. “Your Excellency, I will not go into the palace today. I am taking a day off today and I have some unresolved matters at home. Please inform His Majesty of the condition of the Grand Tutor.” After saying that, he left without looking back.
Eunuch Zhang had no choice but to return to the Qinzheng Palace. Emperor Xuan continued to review memorials at the same speed and asked without even looking up, "How is it going now that you're back?"
"Your Majesty... I heard Imperial Physician Chen and Lord Lin say with my own ears that the Grand Tutor will live at most another five years, so Lord Lin could be mentally prepared." After saying this, Eunuch Zhang knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
Emperor Xuan stopped holding the imperial pen. He closed his eyes, opened them again, and said only one sentence: "I understand." But his pen could no longer write a single word.
The next day, Yue Bai got up early, intending to go and win the favor of the little prince, but she found that all the maids who served her in the morning had been replaced. She was curious and asked the maid who was combing her hair, "Why are you here today? Where is Sister Xing'er?"
The maid replied, "When you lost your first dress, everyone around you was beaten with ten sticks by the Madam, and they are probably still recovering from their injuries."
"It was me who didn't let them follow. I sent someone to tell mother. I'll go have breakfast with her later." Yuebai naturally planned to plead for them and then make up for it. After all, this was indeed her own idea.
After tidying up, we arrived at the main courtyard.
"Give your regards to your mother!" Seeing her daughter finally found, the prime minister's wife quickly called her up and took care of her while she sat down to eat.
Yuebai ate the crystal shrimp dumplings his mother gave him, and then asked about Xing'er and the others: "What happened yesterday has nothing to do with them. You have already punished them, so don't deduct any more money. Please also ask mother to send some doctors to check their injuries."
Madam Xiang touched Yuebai's head. She didn't really want to punish those half-grown girls. When she beat them with the stick today, she also reminded them not to beat them too hard. She just wanted them to remember the lesson. Since her daughter came to plead for mercy, she just let her do as she pleased.
"Mother knows that our Yuebai is kind-hearted, and mother is not determined to do anything to them. But Yuebai, you must remember that the decisions you make will affect the people around you. If you sneak out of the house again next time, mother will sell them all out."
This trick was obviously very effective. Yuebai quickly promised to be a good boy in the future. During this meal, both mother and daughter achieved the results they wanted.
After the morning, Yuebai had nothing to do, so she thought of going to play with the little prince. When she arrived at Chu Ji's residence, she found out that he had gone to his brother's place for classes. She thought of going to see her brother as well, as he was said to have vomited blood yesterday. She then returned to her own courtyard, packed some snacks from her private vault, gave some silver to Xing'er and the others, and asked the nanny to call a doctor for them. Then she carried two bags of snacks to Yuehua's courtyard.
Yue Hua was teaching Chu Ji to read "Political Commentary". He noticed a girl peeking at the door out of the corner of his eye, so he put the book down. Chu Ji looked at him with confusion.
"Someone is here and I'm afraid this class won't be able to be taught."
"Brother! I just came to see you." Yuebai shook the snacks in her hand and said, "I heard that you were very worried about me yesterday, so I brought some snacks I made by myself for you to try." The packaging was also made by herself.
Yue Hua knew that she smiled and didn't say anything, but Chu Ji started blushing when he saw Yue Bai, but he didn't say a word.
Life was peaceful and quiet at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wang Chen returned to Baiyun Temple after his travels. The mountains were shrouded in mist and the gate of the temple was lightly closed. Wang Chen reached out and pushed the door open. The Three Pure Ones were enshrined on the altar and Jingxuzi was meditating on the cushion below the altar.
"You're back?" Jingxuzi stood up, looking like an immortal, and patted Wangchen on the shoulder. "Not bad, not bad. You look much calmer than before. Did you meet anyone at the foot of the mountain?"
"This is Prince Chu Ji that my disciple saw." While Wang Chen was packing up the magic weapons he had put down from his bag, he seemed to be observing Jingxuzi's reaction casually.
Jingxuzi was indeed a little stunned. Emperor Xuan's son, yes, Wangchen is already this old, it is normal for him to have children. But if his master was still alive, his apprentice should be the crown prince.
Jingxuzi saved the former prince's family. When they fled south, everyone died one after another. The only survivor was Wangchen, the posthumous son of the former prince. He was entrusted to him by his master. More than ten years have passed, but he still remembers the pain of fleeing south. Emperor Xuan hunted down the former prince's family and the master had to jump off a cliff, because only after the master died would Emperor Xuan withdraw the killing order. He didn't know that the master had a posthumous son, so Wangchen was born safely. Later, he brought Wangchen back to the capital after many twists and turns. The past could no longer be mentioned, so he gave him the Taoist name Wangchen.
"Have you seen him? Where?" Jingxuzi asked again.
"In the Prime Minister's Mansion, with Master, that is, Lin Yuehua."
Lin Yuehua, Wang Chen thought of the number one young master who was as bright as the moon. "Speaking of which, he is an old friend of mine. It's a pity that this former bright moon may not have much time left. I heard that he has a younger sister?"
"Yes, and she's still a little girl who only knows how to cry." Thinking of Yuebai, Wang Chen smiled.
"You like her very much?" Jingxuzi saw Wangchen packed up the magic tools, but among the retro ones there was a light yellow purse embroidered with a snow-white rabbit holding a sweet-scented osmanthus branch. He picked it up and said, "This doesn't look like your thing, my good disciple."
"She was robbed and I snatched it from the thief. I will return it to her if I have the chance in the future. It's not a matter of whether I like her or not as we just met by chance. Master, you are worrying too much." Wang Chen's face was calm. He reached out to take the purse back and put it away.
Jingxuzi fiddled with the whisk in his hand twice, and sighed with a look of insight: "If your father were still alive..."
"Master, I just want to follow my heart now. Hatred is a thousand shackles to me." He really didn't want to, didn't want to be involved in the world. Why did the master jump out of the world, but still think about the old things more than ten years ago? Now Emperor Xuan governs the country very well. The master always said that if his father was here, he would do better, but his father is no longer here. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Master, don't stick to the past."
"My disciple, people will change. You may feel that power is useless to you now, but one day you will find that only when you have power can you keep what you want." Jingxuzi said casually but firmly. The cause and effect have been determined. No matter how hard the people in the game struggle, it is in vain. "Put yourself in order. I will go into seclusion now."
Although he was going to retreat, Jingxuzi knelt down as soon as he entered the cave, "Your Highness, it has already begun. The little princess has met Chu Ji and his fiancée."
The person sitting in the upper seat waved his hand and ignored him, concentrating on fiddling with the divination sticks in his hand. In fact, the real fortune teller was this woman. If Emperor Xuan were there, he would recognize that she was the sister of the former crown prince, but she grew up in a Taoist temple. Later, when he launched a mutiny, Princess Shu Shen also disappeared.
"The first young master's sister was born with the destiny of a phoenix, which makes her a perfect match for our Wang Chen. My dear nephew, you must thank your aunt. Hahahaha--" Princess Shushen's crazy laughter echoed in the empty cave, making it even more terrifying. Jingxuzi seemed to have been accustomed to it and just buried his head a little lower.
Wang Chen was unaware of all this. At the moment, he was holding the purse in his hand, thinking about visiting the little girl next time he went down the mountain so that he could return the purse to her. Unfortunately, he had gone up the mountain to practice Taoism, and he didn't know when he would be able to come down. He could only take out the purse from time to time to look at it, not knowing that he had been thinking about it day and night.
After Chu Ji stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for some time, he was recalled to the palace by the Emperor, because the Emperor was afraid that he would disturb the Grand Tutor's recuperation. However, all this time had already made Yuebai and Chu Ji very familiar with each other. Yuebai was quite fond of this shy little prince, and the little prince also went along with Yuebai in everything after knowing that Yuebai had an engagement.
But two half-grown children were always prone to playfulness, so Chu Ji had to go back first. Yue Bai and Yue Hua sent him to the palace gate.
"Brother Ji, there will be no one to play with me after you left." The eyes like moon-white glass beads stared at Chu Ji with full reluctance.
Chu Ji also couldn't bear to part with Yuebai. To Chu Ji, she was not only a playmate, but also someone he wanted to protect. Everyone in the palace would tell him what the prince needed. Only when he was with Yuebai did he feel like a human being. Yuebai was alive and different from everyone else. It would be great if he could be with Yuebai in the future. Therefore, he was looking forward to time passing quickly and growing up quickly so that he could marry Yuebai into the palace, so that they could be together every day.
Seeing Yue Bai's reluctant look, Chu Ji reached under the pouch on his waist and took out the prince's private seal. This was different from the golden seal that symbolized the prince's status, so Yue Hua did not stop him. Chu Ji handed the private seal to Yue Bai, "I'll leave my private seal with you. I'll go out to see you once a month, okay?"
Yuebai looked at Yuehua inquiringly, and when she saw Yuehua nodded slightly, she accepted the private seal. However, she knew that the little prince had no real power, "Brother, Brother Ji and I have agreed to meet once a month." Yuehua was really about to be laughed at by this clever sister. Of course, Yuebai did not intend to hear what her brother said. She turned around and stamped a seal on the little prince, "Brother Ji, it's agreed that I stamped your seal and you must keep your word."
