In the afternoon, Rong Cang and Ji Ziyi entered the palace together.
In order to avoid scaring Yang Dexi, all the palace residents were screened out while taking the pulse.
Ji Ziyi said: "The poisonous insects in the emperor's body have not fully grown into larvae. It is a little troublesome to remove the poison at this time. If the emperor can trust the common people, it is better to wait another year."
"Trouble?" Emperor Mu frowned, "What kind of trouble?"
Ji Ziyi replied: "Before the Gu insect becomes a larvae, its senses are particularly dull, so when the emperor is angry, it will only be slightly agitated for the time being, and the pain it causes is limited and within the range that normal people can bear. If you want to lure it out, Also due to its dull senses, it is not sensitive to the smell of the blood of the mother's voodoo keeper. The entire voodoo retrieval process may become extremely slow and may last for a whole day, or even two or three days, and more blood will be required. .”
After a pause, he added: "It may directly kill Eunuch Yang."
Emperor Mu's expression changed. If he took Yang Dexi's life, wouldn't he be taking his life?
I didn’t expect that bugs that are too small would be in such trouble.
The process of removing the poison would definitely not last for a day or two. He had seen with his own eyes the scene of Rong Cang removing the poison. It was tragic and painful, like a fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
He wasn't sure he could handle it all day.
But do we really have to wait another year?
Not to mention he is the emperor, even if a normal person has a worm in his body, it is not a reassuring thing.
But what Ji Ziyi said is reasonable.
It seemed that the poison in Rong Cang's body took seven years to actually start to take effect. It was only three years for him. If he hadn't asked Ji Ziyi to take his pulse before, he would still not know that there was a bug in his body.
Thinking of the Gu worms that had been taken out of Rong Cang's body before, Emperor Mu's stomach turned and he quickly shook off the scene.
He looked up at Ji Ziyi: "Is there no other way?"
Ji Ziyi frowned slightly: "If the emperor can't wait for a year, you can ask Eunuch Yang to give the emperor half a bowl of blood to drink every day to make the Gu worms grow faster."
Drink blood every day?
Emperor Mu's face turned blue and he was almost nauseated.
"Let's forget it." He gave up this method directly, "Just one year."
Ji Ziyi bowed and resigned: "The grassroots will retreat first."
"Don't leave in a hurry." Emperor Mu said calmly, "I have just established the crown prince, and the East Palace still lacks some trustworthy civil servants and generals. You will stay in Shengjing for the time being and serve as a full-time doctor and staff member of the East Palace. As for the specific position and grade, the prince will decide Make arrangements."
Ji Ziyi's expression froze: "..." Can he resist the decree?
The imperial edict cannot be violated.
Ji Ziyi sighed silently in her heart and bowed in response: "I obey your order."
…
On the fourth day after the wedding, Dou Huiran, the seventh prince's concubine, and Du Jia, the eighth prince's concubine, arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion to pay homage to the crown princess.
Chu Yunfei ordered people to welcome them in and served tea in the inner hall.
"On the second day of the wedding, I and Jiajia went to the palace to meet the queen and mother-in-law. On the third day, they familiarized themselves with the internal affairs of the palace. On the third day, they returned home. Only today did they take the time to pay homage to the crown princess." Dou Huiran bowed her knees and was humble. He apologized and said, "I have been negligent. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."
Chu Yunfei's attitude was gentle: "Hurry up and sit down."
Because Dou Huiran had offended Chu Yunfei before, she would feel a little frightened every time she saw her.
Especially now that Chu Yunfei has become the crown princess, her status is higher than that of all princes and concubines. As long as the couple does not make a big mistake, it is almost certain that they will ascend the throne in the future.
So Dou Huiran will always feel afraid of what he has done.
Chu Yunfei saw her restraint, but she just pretended not to know: "Have the seventh prince and the eighth prince entered the palace?"
"Um."
"How is the seventh prince treating you?"
"The seventh prince is not bad, he has a calm temperament, and he treats me very well." Dou Huiran said, his brows lowered slightly, "It's just that something unpleasant happened on the night of the wedding, and he was a little angry."
Chu Yunfei said calmly: "Such embarrassing things that happen on the big day do affect your mood, but this is because of human calculations. Just forget it when you are angry. There is no need to take it to heart."
"Yes." Dou Huiran lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. The emperor asked the seventh prince to go to the Ministry of Civil Service to train, and he happened to be under the hands of my father. From now on, the two of them can cultivate their relationship and work wholeheartedly for His Highness the Crown Prince."
How could Chu Yunfei not hear her clearly good attitude?
She sipped her tea and smiled lightly: "This is good."
After speaking, he looked at Du Jia.
Although the official rank of Du Xun was not high, Du Jia looked more calm and restrained than Dou Huiran. She sat sideways on the chair, saw Chu Yunfei looking at her, lowered her head and replied: "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is also very good to me. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanny Xiong walked in with several plates of snacks: "Princess, these are the snacks just made in the kitchen. I brought them to the two princesses to try."
Chu Yunfei put it on the tea table, and Grandma Xiong handed over an elegant hairpin invitation: "Just now, Miss Xie sent someone to send a message, saying that she is inviting the Crown Princess to come to Xie's house tomorrow to enjoy the flowers."
Chu Yunfei stared at the post and pondered. In a few days, the ceremony of establishing the crown prince will be held.
After the ceremony, she moved into the East Palace. When she met Xie Danshu again, she could only summon her into the palace, and it was far less convenient than outside the palace.
Just thinking about the weird things about Mrs. Xie, Chu Yunfei always felt that something was wrong.
She thought deeply for a moment: "When you replied to my post, you said that I have been a little lazy these days and don't want to move around. You asked Miss Xie to come to the palace to stay with me."
Mother Xiong was a little surprised: "Crown Princess?"
"What's wrong?"
Grandma Xiong quickly lowered her eyes: "It's nothing, I'll go and answer you now."
Hearing that Chu Yunfei was lazy, Dou Huiran and Du Jia stood up quickly: "Princess, have a good rest. You are pregnant now, so you can't be too tired. I will take my leave now."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Bao Chan, send me a message to the two princes and concubines."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei sat on the chair and pondered for a long time, with a few thoughts running through her mind. She quickly turned around and ordered: "Mengxia, you go to Luo's house later and invite the eldest princess over. I want to ask her something. "
"yes."
Chu Yunfei stood up and left the inner hall. I walked back to Jinlin Courtyard along the Chaoshou Corridor and strolled around the garden of Jinlin Courtyard. While walking around, I asked casually: "Mo Xue, do you know the background of Mrs. Xie's natal family?"
"Mrs. Xie's natal family?" Mo Xue frowned, "Mrs. Xie is from a well-known family in Jingxi. Her family name is Chen, one of the four surnames in Jingxi."
Your surname is Chen?
Chu Yunfei was startled, Mrs. Chen Xie?
In a big family like the Xie family, the head mother of the family is highly respected. Whether she is an official or a lady in the capital, she will be polite and respectful as Mrs. Xie.
Almost no one calls her Chen.
Because Chu Yunfei came from a small family, she had never cared about Mrs. Xie's family name before.
Only today did she find out that Mrs. Xie’s surname was Chen.
However, she did not know Mrs. Xie's surname, but she knew the surname of the current Queen Mother - the current Queen Mother was also named Chen.
Chu Yunfei stood in front of a rockery and looked at the rugged shape of the rockery. She seemed to finally understand why Mrs. Xie had doubted Rong Cang's life experience in advance - she was not doubting at all, but confirming.
Could she think that in addition to being biologically related, Mrs. Xie and the Queen Mother also shared a secret?
"Princess." Mo Yu came from a distance, walking so fast that he almost lost his usual composure, "The gate of Shou'an Palace has opened, and the Queen Mother has ordered someone to send the Queen to speak."
