In the Prince's Mansion, there are constant comings and goings of palace maids and chamberlains, and there are many guards in the open and guards hiding in the dark.
There are many people and mixed opinions. Inevitably, there will be spies planted by Queen Xu and her son. If you are discussing confidential and important matters, you will find a safe place.
There are independent secret rooms in the study rooms of the prince and the emperor's grandson. No outsiders are allowed to approach.
After the emperor's grandson and Wei Yan entered the secret room, the door was closed tightly. No guards in the open or in the dark were allowed to approach, and Wang Tong personally guarded the door.
The door of this secret room is also specially made, very thick and has excellent sound insulation effect. After closing the door, even if you put your ear close to the door, you can't hear any sound.
Wang Tong looked around cautiously, thinking secretly in his heart.
Why is Imperial Physician Wei so serious and cautious
The emperor's grandson and the doctor Wei have been in for a long time, and now the lunch time has passed. Why haven't you finished speaking yet
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened.
The emperor's grandson walked out first, and then Wei Yan also walked out.
Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked up.
The emperor's grandson was expressionless, showing no emotion at all. Looking at Dr. Wei again, he also looked calm and composed, without showing any emotion. Judging from the expressions and reactions of the two people, there was no clue at all.
"Your Highness, it's past noon. Is it time to pass on the meal?" Wang Tong asked tentatively.
At this hour, should we stay with the Imperial Physician to have lunch together
The emperor's grandson glanced at Wang Tong indifferently, as if he disliked him for being nosy. Then he looked at Wei Yan, with no sincerity in his tone: "How about Dr. Wei stay and have lunch together before leaving?"
Wei Yan smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I stayed in the Prince's Mansion for a long time today and should go back to the Imperial Hospital. I will say goodbye now."
After saying that, he resigned.
The emperor's grandson did not try to persuade him to stay anymore, and ordered Wang Tong to escort Wei Yan out of the house on his behalf.
After Wang Tong accepted the order, he respectfully sent Wei Yan out of the Prince's Mansion. Watching Wei Yan's tall figure go away, the previous questions came to Wang Tong's mind again.
What did Imperial Physician Wei say to the Imperial Grandson in the secret room
Unfortunately, this question is destined to be kept in the mind and secretly speculated, and it must never be asked out loud.
Wang Tong turned around and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Wei has left."
The emperor's grandson responded casually, with an unpredictable expression.
Wang Tong carefully looked at the emperor's grandson's face. He had been a bodyguard for the Emperor Taisun for several years and was very familiar with the Emperor's temperament. He could also tell from the Emperor's expression that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
The emperor's grandson was not in the habit of confiding his concerns to others, so he said in a deep voice: "Let people pass the meal around."
Wang Tong said yes and raised his voice to call the waiter to pass on the meal.
The exquisite and delicious dishes were served like water. The emperor's grandson obviously had no appetite, so he only took a few bites and put down his chopsticks. After that, he went back to the dormitory to rest.
All those who were serving were sent away.
The emperor's grandson was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his thoughts were confused and he could not calm down for a long time. It was as if there was an unknown anger surging in his chest, but he couldn't vent it out.
As a result, the mood became more and more depressing.
…
For several days after that, the emperor's grandson's mood did not improve.
As Wang Tong's personal bodyguard, he would inevitably be affected by the emperor's grandson's bad mood. Even the officials in the Eastern Palace were spreading rumors privately.
"His Royal Highness Taisun seems to be in a bad mood recently. When I went to report the matter the day before yesterday, I was scolded for speaking too slowly."
"I was scolded yesterday too."
"Don't mention it, I just came back from His Highness Taisun. His Highness didn't even have the slightest smile on his face. He just stared at me, making his legs tremble..."
Several people complained together and speculated on the reasons behind it.
"Your Highness is so grumpy. Is it because the Emperor has paid special attention to King Yan recently? I heard that the Queen has made a marriage arrangement for King Yan, and the other party is the second young lady of the Duke of Ping. She will be engaged soon. Determined. With this in-law, King Yan can legitimately win over military generals. This is not good news for us in the East Palace. "
"That's not necessarily the case. Although His Highness is young, he is not in a state where the city does not have this. In my opinion, the reason why His Highness is in a bad mood is probably because his marriage has not been decided yet. Miss Su's family and Miss Jiang's are both excellent. His Highness must not know which one to choose."
"Don't make random guesses. According to me, His Highness has lofty ambitions and is in a bad mood because of political affairs. He will never be so affectionate as a son and a hero as short-tempered..."
Even the Crown Princess noticed something was wrong, so she specially prepared dinner and ordered someone to invite the Emperor's grandson.
After the emperor's grandson said his greetings, he and the princess sat down at the dinner table.
The princess packed a lot of vegetables and filled the emperor's grandson's bowl full: "Ah Yao, you have lost a lot of weight recently. These are your favorite foods, so you should eat more tonight."
The Crown Princess put on airs in front of outsiders, but when she came to the Crown Prince, she was gentle and kind, with concern written all over her face.
The emperor's grandson gave a random hum and reluctantly ate more than usual.
No matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like nothing in your mouth. Unable to taste the food, he forced himself to eat a bowl of rice porridge before the emperor put down his chopsticks.
The Crown Princess saw this and couldn't help but frowned.
No one knows the temperament of a son better than his mother. He didn't have a bad appetite, he was obviously too preoccupied to think about food and drink. It seems that the recent rumors are all true...
The Crown Princess also quickly put down her chopsticks, waved her hand, and all the maids waiting on the side withdrew.
"Ah Yao, what's going on with you these days?" The Crown Princess looked gloomy and her tone was a little more serious: "Are you worried about the court affairs, or are you unhappy about Prince Yan's engagement?"
The emperor's grandson frowned and replied a little impatiently: "I'm not bothered. King Yan has settled the marriage earlier, so I have nothing to be unhappy about."
"Look at you like this, who can believe what you say!" The Crown Princess snorted softly: "Which person around you has not been scolded? There are also officials in the East Palace who are always on tenterhooks when coming in and out. You still say it's okay, you Do you think that everyone else is blind and can’t see anything?”
The emperor's thin lips pursed tightly, neither admitting nor denying.
The Crown Princess sighed and softened her tone: "Ah Yao, I am your biological mother. If you have anything on your mind, why can't you tell me, your biological mother?"
The emperor's grandson's eyes darkened, and after a while he whispered: "It's really nothing. I'm just not in a good mood these days, and my temper is a little more irritable than before. Don't worry, mother and concubine, I won't be like this in the future." ( To be continued)
