Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The front palace was in chaos for a long time before all the ministers were arranged to live.

The princes had settled into the Eastern Palace early on; after all, they were always the priority.

The Eastern Palace has symbolic significance. Even though all the princes live there together, being able to live there seems to represent something. As a result, even the Ninth Prince, who has not yet left the palace to set up his own residence, was forced by Concubine Shu to move out and live in the Eastern Palace on the grounds that he had to entertain guests from his natal family and it was too crowded!

Even the usually low-key Concubine Shu was like this, the Prime Minister's faction was naturally unwilling. All the princes lived there, except for the Eighth Prince! But now Chu Shiqi was far away in the southwest, so they could only swallow their anger and muttered sourly that it was just a few people living together, which didn't mean anything!

However, the most subtle thing is that the emperor did not make any arrangements for the old Taoist priest, and seemed to have tacitly agreed to let Chu Shiyu settle the old Taoist priest.

Chu Shiyu had no scruples and brought the old Taoist priest and the cow into the East Palace! A cow was already strange, but what was more concerning was the identity of the old Taoist priest! How could the last prince of the previous dynasty live in the East Palace of the current dynasty?

"Third brother, you have made a big splash today."

King Kang's tone was inexplicable, but his expression was unusually solemn and sharp. He stared directly at the old Taoist who seemed to have fallen asleep on the ox's back.

"I'm tired. Let's talk later when we have time." Chu Shiyu avoided the topic. He also needed to sort out what happened that night.

King Kang did not stop him, but his voice was slightly cold: "Third brother, you should know that the current Tatars have a close relationship with the previous dynasty."

Chu Shiyu stopped and looked back, and responded slightly seriously: "Don't worry, my brother. I remember my last name is Chu."

After saying that, he followed the eunuch who led the way into the assigned courtyard. Qingyang Niu, carrying the old Taoist on his back, spontaneously followed Chu Shiyu's footsteps.

Although it was the emperor's order to open the Eastern Palace, Xu Jin naturally did not dare to make casual arrangements. The main bedroom remained vacant, and the princes were allocated side halls or courtyards.

In order to find peace and quiet and to accommodate Qingyang, Chu Shiyu specifically asked for a quiet courtyard in the corner.

"Your Highness... let me help you wash up first?" Mei Hong said weakly. The prince had asked all the servants in the palace to leave, and she was the only servant left now.

"The doctor will bring the medicine later. Please wait at the door."

While giving instructions, Chu Shiyu helped the old Taoist down from the ox's back, brought him into the house, and gently helped him lie down on the couch.

The Taoist priest was not completely unconscious, but he looked exhausted. He didn't even have the strength to speak or raise his hands. His eyes were half open, and his pupils were still abrupt and clear, but his vision was out of focus. I don't know if he was in a trance or wandering in his mind...

Qingyang also walked into the room and lay down beside the small couch. At this time, he looked at Chu Shiyu with a pair of gentle eyes, which seemed more spirited than the old Taoist on the couch.

Even though Qingyang was a cow, Chu Shiyu read gratitude in his eyes...

"What on earth do you want to do..." Chu Shiyu smiled bitterly. His plans were all disrupted...

Chu Shiyu couldn't understand why the old Taoist was like this, but he believed that the old Taoist had no ill intentions towards him or Liu Rusi, and it was very likely that... he wanted to fulfill the fate of him and Liu Rusi.

The old Taoist traveled thousands of miles to rush to Xingzhou City and rescued them. He must have foreseen that they would be in trouble... Although he did not say it out loud and was just relying on coincidence to save people, would there be no price for going against the will of heaven?

I guess the five disadvantages and three deficiencies came true, and the word "incomplete" was fulfilled, and God took away the old Taoist's legs...

And would the Taoist appear in the palace and speak out the secrets of the universe without a price? The Taoist should know better than anyone that he has nothing to pay for it, except his life...

Chu Shiyu couldn't understand why the old Taoist priest was so determined to die.

"My Lord, the medicine is here."

Mei Hong carefully brought a can of ginseng soup and explained in detail: "It was sent by the medicine boy of the Imperial Hospital. He said that it contains some tonic medicine. I have never passed it on or met anyone else."

Chu Shiyu nodded slightly and took the ginseng soup. His father wanted the Taoist priest to continue to reveal information and would not let him die immediately. Rather than poisoning him, it was more likely that he would use strong medicine to keep him alive.

"Let me feed the Taoist priest..."

Meihong felt very uncomfortable that the prince actually fed the medicine to the Taoist priest himself.

"You go out, don't disturb me unless it's important."

Meihong had no choice but to put away her awkwardness and go out, as they all knew that the prince was a man of his word.

Before meeting Liu Rusi, Chu Shiyu always thought that he was a cold-hearted person. After meeting her, he just treated her differently.

But thinking of those vague possibilities... Seeing this old Taoist priest, whom he had only met a few times, looking like he was about to die, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic...

"hiss!"

The old Taoist's weak cry of pain interrupted his melancholy! On his old face, the wrinkles were twisted like an old chrysanthemum!

"It's so hot that I'm dying..."

Fortunately, it was only a small spoonful of soup. The old Taoist took a breath and recovered. He seemed to be more alive than before...

"My leg is broken, not my arm. Just tell me to get up and drink..."

The old Taoist shook his head and looked at Chu Shiyu who couldn't stop being embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Alas, you are used to a life of luxury, and you don't know how to take care of people! It was not only hot just now, but you were given soup to drink while lying down, and you choked by accident. I'm afraid your fate is about to end!"

"Well, put it aside, you can drink it later."

Chu Shiyu relied on his strong psychological quality to suppress the embarrassment. In an instant, his face was normal. But in his heart, he thought that he had never fed Rusi soup. Fortunately, he didn't feed her just now. If he burned her, he would feel guilty...

"You..."

The old Taoist shook his head and sighed: "Being unruly may be a good character in other places. But in matters between men and women, especially when you meet someone with a stubborn temper, it will be a torment..."

Chu Shiyu was startled, then asked anxiously: "Will there be anything between Rusi and me in the future?"

"Not later, but always."

The old Taoist shook his head again and said, "With your temper, it wouldn't be surprising if both you and your partner were destroyed. Now it's just not satisfactory... There's no need to rely on fate. Just look at your current situation and you'll know! You may have noticed it yourself, but you don't take it seriously."

Chu Shiyu naturally thought of that dream first... and then realized that the old Taoist was indeed trying to bring them together, and he knew their situation very well...

He had always had a doubt, and now he had roughly guessed the truth, but he still wanted to confirm it, so he hesitated for a few breaths.

Chu Shiyu asked softly, "When I was attacked in Jinyan City, you rescued me and put me next to Qin Lie's grave, right?"

The old Taoist didn't say anything, just smiled foolishly, as if he didn't understand.

But Chu Shiyu was already certain that he was surrounded by enemies and could hardly escape, but when he woke up he suddenly appeared in Dongshan Village, which was far away.

The palace was heavily guarded, and not even a pigeon could enter or leave at will! But the Taoist priest rode a cow to appear at the banquet with the most strict security! Others thought that he helped the Taoist priest to enter the palace, but Chu Shiyu knew that it was the Taoist priest himself who could appear and disappear mysteriously.
