In the evening, Shi Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, their eyes were clear and smooth, without any ripples.
I didn't see how happy I was.
Ever since he knew that in the eyes of his father, these princes were pawns, not his children.
And he is an abandoned son, a prince who cannot be reused. What is the use?
At the beginning, when he learned that his frail body could not be recuperated and that he might not even live to be twenty, his father had already given up on him.
Mu Shiyu didn't know it before, but he looked forward to his father coming to visit him every day.
He didn't expect his father to care for him like an ordinary father, but as long as his father came to see him, that would be enough.
Unfortunately, he waited day after day, and his father never came to visit him once.
It seems that I have completely given up on him.
Mu Shiyu accidentally overheard the discussion among the palace people under his command, why the emperor didn't come to visit the eldest prince recently. Could it be that Concubine Jin and her son were disliked?
Another palace man said: Because the eldest prince is weak, the emperor has given up on him. A prince who is destined to die young and not live long is not worthy of sympathy.
These words took root deeply in Mu Shiyu's heart.
He didn't believe it at first, but his father had treated him so well before. He would come to visit him every day and teach him personally.
But later...
Until one time, Mu Shiyu suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night and struggled on the line of life and death, almost dying several times.
At that time, due to Mu Han's sudden neglect, Concubine Jin and her son suffered a lot of cold treatment in the palace.
In that snowy night, even the imperial doctor refused to come to see him, saying that the third prince, His Highness the Crown Prince who was not canonized at the time, was infected with cold and needed to see the third prince first.
That night, it was Concubine Jin who braved the heavy snow to seek help from the Queen Mother, and only then did the imperial doctor come to see her.
From that moment on, Mu Shiyu understood that his father was a cold-hearted and heartless person.
In the eyes of his father, he was just a pawn.
Including those younger brothers, it’s actually the same...
From then on, Mu Shiyu no longer had any hope for his father.
Even though I later heard that my father had consecrated the third prince as the crown prince and took him with him to teach him personally, most of them were the eighth princes who doted on Concubine Su...
Mu Shiyu didn't take any of this seriously, he just watched it all with cold eyes.
Later, he gradually stopped caring about everything and completely closed himself in this gorgeous but cold and empty palace.
Mu Shiyu's thoughts were confused, and just as he was thinking about it, he saw Nuobao running in.
The tall and straight figure of the tyrant was indeed followed behind him.
"Brother Beauty!" Nuobao shouted crisply.
Mu Shiyu's eyebrows were filled with a gentle smile. After seeing the tyrant's figure, he calmed down slightly and stood up slightly to salute.
"My son, please see your father."
Seeing his shaky appearance, Mu Han frowned slightly.
"No need to be polite, just lie down."
"yes."
Mu Shiyu returned to the bed. After saying a few words, he couldn't suppress the itchiness in his throat and coughed softly.
At first, he tried his best to restrain himself, but later on, the cough became more serious, and his originally sickly and pale face turned slightly rosy.
"Brother Beauty!" Nuobao rushed over with anxious eyes.
Mo Yan quickly asked someone to bring the medicine.
Hearing this, the little guy immediately rolled his eyes.
It's medicine that's three parts poison. Drinking any medicine will only make my brother's health worse.
"Don't go!" Nuobao said angrily, "Brother, he doesn't want to drink medicine."
Mo Yan looked helpless and bitter, "Little princess, you don't know something. Our Highness's body is too weak and different from ordinary people. He needs to drink medicine all the time."
Over there, Mu Shiyu's cough hasn't stopped yet.
Nuobao quickly waved, "Dad, bring my things over here."
The little guy's unceremonious attitude shocked all the palace residents.
Even Mu Shiyu, even though he was feeling unwell, besides coughing, his brain was a little drowsy and he seemed to be having a fever again.
But when he heard this, he still held on, grabbed Nuobao's soft little hand, and shook his head slightly.
"Nuobao, cough...don't...do it to your father..."
"So rude."
Although his father loved Nuobao, the emperor's heart was unpredictable, especially for someone as ruthless as his father.
If Nuo Bao offends him one day, his father will withdraw his favor from Nuo Bao at any time.
Mu Shiyu also sincerely thought about Nuobao.
He understood very well what the tyrant's favor in this palace meant.
Even someone from a family like Concubine Jin would be treated coldly because she fell out of favor.
What's more, Xiao Nuobao doesn't have a mother to back him up.
Although it was a short sentence, it was extremely difficult for him to say it.
Nuobao felt extremely uncomfortable watching this, and his little face wrinkled together.
"It's okay, beautiful brother. Daddy won't be so stingy."
The little guy had a determined tone, as if he knew Mu Han very well.
This somehow pleased the tyrant.
Mu Han really didn't mind. Instead, he took the brocade box from Eunuch De's hand and brought it to Nuobao himself.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mu Han asked in a low voice, with an unprecedented good temper.
"Daddy doesn't have to do anything."
Nuobao opened the brocade box, and a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils.
This fragrance was so refreshing that everyone in the hall felt that their originally groggy heads suddenly became more awake when they smelled this smell.
There is a green herb inside the brocade box. The herb is green all over and seems to exude a faint sheen.
Nuobao broke off a leaf and stuffed it directly into Mu Shiyu's lips.
"Beautiful brother, eat."
Mo Yan's eyelids jumped at the sight.
Although this medicinal fragrance smells it, you can tell that it is a precious herbal medicine.
But their Highness is so weak, how can he use medicine indiscriminately?
What if something goes wrong while eating?
Nothing will happen to the little princess, only minions like them will suffer.
Mo Yan's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
But the tyrant was right next to him. Due to Mu Han's oppression, Mo Yan did not dare to say anything clearly, but his expression was full of anxiety and worry.
Mu Shiyu was not worried at all, but gave him a calm look.
He opened his mouth slightly and took the leaf in his mouth.
The moment the leaf entered his mouth, Mu Shiyu felt a cool feeling slide down his throat.
My throat, which was originally a little sore, suddenly felt much better.
The effect is immediate.
Mu Shiyu's eyes flashed with surprise.
I didn't expect that this little inconspicuous leaf could have such a miraculous effect.
"Nuobao, what did you feed me?" Mu Shiyu stroked his throat in surprise.
Not only has the coughing stopped, but the throat is no longer uncomfortable.
"What kind of medicinal material is this?"
It is said that after a long illness, Mu Shiyu cannot sit down due to his physical condition.
I can only be trapped in this courtyard every day, playing the piano, playing chess and reading books.
He reads a lot of miscellaneous books, no matter what kind of books he reads. Among them, he reads travel books and medical skills the most.
He has already finished reading all the medical skills in the Royal Library.
I read it over and over a dozen times, and the pages are almost torn.
He is extremely talented and has naturally acquired medical skills.
I don’t say that I know all the medicinal materials, but I also recognize some of them.
But the medicinal plant Nuobao took out was something he had never seen before.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be unfamiliar with medicinal materials that have such effects.
