The man was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Jiang Qingjiu was about to take away his mask when he was distracted. Only then did the man react, stood up neatly, and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Qingjiu was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. He held a mask in his hand and fell asleep unknowingly.
"Princess, wake up. If you drink the hangover soup, you won't have a headache tomorrow." Zhutao took the hangover soup that Zhuyu brought over and served Jiang Qingjiu to drink it.
"Hey, where did this mask come from?" When Zhutao was putting away the soup bowl, he found the mask that Jiang Qingjiu was holding tightly in his hand. He tried to get Jiang Qingjiu to let go, but Jiang Qingjiu held it tightly.
After trying various methods, Jiang Qingjiu still refused to let go, and Zhu Tao planned to give up.
"What kind of magic power does this thing have? It makes the princess so precious?"
"Forget it, let the princess sleep like this." Zhutao put down the bed curtain and went to watch outside.
Nan Rongshi, who had been in a coma for several days, finally woke up after careful care by the doctor and Miao Ziru.
She fluttered her eyelashes, and after a while, she finally struggled to open her eyes. The sun was dazzling, and she subconsciously closed her eyes again.
Weakly, he raised his hands and rubbed his eyes, finally waking up completely.
I was a little thirsty and wanted to drink water. The voice calling for people to come in was too quiet, and the boy outside was sleeping deeply and didn't hear it at all.
He had to struggle out of bed to pour water, but his wound was affected and he fell out of bed.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground woke up the sleeping boy and Miao Ziru who came to see Nan Rongshi.
Miao Ziru hurriedly ran into the inner room and saw Nan Rongshi's miserable appearance. Her eyes flashed with distress, and she went over to call the servant to help Nan Rongshi to the bed.
"Brother Shi, don't move. You just woke up. You need a good rest. Call me if you need anything." Seeing Miao Ziru's nervous look on him, Nan Rongshi felt moved in his heart.
"Go and ask the doctor to come over." Miao Ziru ordered the boy.
"Yes, ma'am."
lady?
"Wait, madam?" Nan Rongshi was confused.
"Back to the third prince. His Majesty has decreed that his wife will be given to you as his concubine. If you have nothing to do, I will go down first." The servant replied respectfully.
Miao Ziru saw that Nan Rongshi was silent and didn't know what he was thinking. He waved his hand and let the boy go down.
"Brother Shi, aren't you happy? Ru'er doesn't know why His Majesty would issue such a decree. If Brother Shi is unwilling, Ru'er will ask the emperor to take back his order."
"Marrying brother Shi is what Ru'er wants, but if brother Shi feels that it will hinder his great cause, Ru'er is willing to sacrifice her own wishes to fulfill brother Shi."
"Brother Shi, you need to get well soon and take back your own power. The fifth prince, Nan Rongli, sent someone to tamper with Brother Shi's medicine, which is why Brother Shi's injury was delayed for so long. Now the doctor is absolutely trustworthy, Shi... ....”
Before Miao Ziru finished speaking, Nan Rongshi interrupted urgently, holding Miao Ziru's arm, "What did you say? Father, did you give me the right to take charge of this civil and military competition?"
"Yes, yes. Brother Shi, you hurt me." There were already bruises on Miao Ziru's arms.
"I'm sorry, Ru'er. I was too excited." Nan Rongshi let go.
"How many days has it been since you were in coma?" Nan Rongshi continued to ask.
"Three days."
"..."
The arrival of the doctor interrupted Nan Rongshi's thinking.
After the doctor examined him, he said that Nan Rong was a man of great fortune. Fortunately, the sword did not hit his heart. As long as you take the medicine on time and take a good rest, you will be fine within three days.
"From now on, Doctor Zhou, you don't have to dress up as a servant. Since my prince's health has improved, I forgive him that Nan Rongli doesn't dare to do anything anymore." Nan Rongshi ordered. This move also told Nan Rongli that it was not him. After all, it's not his.
"yes."
The Qinghua Hall of the Royal Palace.
It was the first time for Jiang Qingjiu to drink so much wine, so the hangover soup didn't hurt too much.
When I stood up, I accidentally saw the mask beside me, and the memories of last night flooded into my mind one after another.
The man from last night, wearing a mask.
Is it Mr. Qingzhou?
But the feeling at the banquet was not like the same person as last night.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
Time will give me the answer.
"Come here, prepare water. I want to take a bath." Jiang Qingjiu looked at the unpleasant smell of alcohol on his body with disgust, thinking that drinking seemed to be not bad, except for the unpleasant smell on his body.
"Yes, princess." Zhutao walked into the inner room and served Jiang Qingjiu to the hot spring pool.
There is a hot spring in Jiang Qingjiu’s Qinghuaden. Emperor Feng specially brought water to build it. One is in the emperor's palace, one is in the prince's east palace, and the other is Jiang Qingjiu's Qinghua Hall.
There are not many mistresses in the palace, and the expenses of the harem are not large.
The Feng Emperor and the Phoenix Queen have been in love for decades, and they only have two children, the prince Jiang Yichen and Jiang Qingjiu. Jiang Qingjiu grew up in the harem, and there were no other concubines in Fengli's harem, so Jiang Qingjiu was deeply grateful that he was born into such an imperial family.
But she didn't cherish it in her previous life, because Fengli was buried in the hands of Nan Rongshi!
So she cherished it all over again and always told herself that the tragedy in her previous life would never happen again because of her in this life.
The goal in this life is very clear, kill Nan Rongshi and destroy Nanzhao.
The prerequisite for destroying Nanzhao is to first gradually disintegrate Nan Rongshi's power in Fengli.
Nan Rongshi actually colluded with my Fengli Fusang tribe so early and assassinated my imperial brother?
Does he know the weakness of my royal brother?
Although Fengli was economically prosperous, it did not have a capable general.
Although the emperor's brother, Wen Tao, was proficient in everything, he had no theory and no way to practice. Moreover, the emperor's brother has a fatal weakness, that is, he has no internal strength and can only fight with him at close range.
I don't know why, but the emperor's bones and tendons just can't be opened and he can't cultivate his internal strength.
The world doesn't know.
Because a qualified prince cannot have weaknesses.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingjiu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and left the hot spring pool.
Afternoon, East Palace.
"Brother Emperor, do you know who knows that you can't cultivate your inner strength?" Jiang Qingjiu and Jiang Yichen had lunch together. While Jiang Yichen was taking medicine, Jiang Qingjiu asked her doubts.
"Except for you and me, my father, my mother, and Master Taiyang who taught us kung fu, there is no one else." Jiang Yichen replied after thinking about it.
"What's wrong, but what's the problem?"
"Brother Imperial, I suspect Nan Rongshi knows this, otherwise how could he collude with the Fusang tribe?" Jiang Qingjiu did not say the next words.
"But it doesn't make sense. No one will tell outsiders. How did Nan Rongshi know about this?" Jiang Qingjiu felt that he had reached a dead end.
"Forget it, don't think about things you can't figure out. Just let nature take its course and things will come naturally. I heard that you did a good job in receiving the envoys. Did His Highness the Crown Prince of Qinglong Kingdom speak for you?"
"Does he also like us Qingqing?"
"How is that possible? His Royal Highness is just out of etiquette." Jiang Qingjiu hurriedly denied, thinking of the masked man in his mind.
"Don't take what those old pedants say to heart. We Qingqing did a good job. Brother Huang is here." Although Jiang Yichen didn't go to the banquet, he still knew what happened at the banquet.
"Brother, don't worry. I'm fine. They can't affect me yet. I'm going back to the princess's mansion. You have a good rest."
