"I'm here to visit you at night, and I ask the county master to forgive me." When Du Heng saw Mu Nanzhi coming in, he was so busy that he bowed and saluted.
"It's okay. I haven't fallen asleep yet. You can sit down." Mu Nanzhi sat opposite Du Heng and asked anxiously, "How is your prince's health? Is he fully recovered?"
Du Heng also sat down and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord County, for asking me. The prince's body is already well. It's just such a serious illness. The prince's body is still weak. I'm afraid it will take a while."
"Oh, that's right," Mu Nanzhi took a sip of tea and asked hesitantly, "Du Heng, your county prince... is he pretending to be ill?"
Du Heng was startled: "Why does the county master think that the county prince is pretending to be ill? Why does the county prince pretend to be ill?"
"Oh, that's because I'm overthinking it." Mu Nanzhi lowered his head in embarrassment and took a few sips of tea, feeling a little depressed and unhappy.
On the occasion of the New Year, everyone knew that this time when Princess Goryeo came to court for a marriage, she was most likely to be promised to Prince Ningjun. Even the Queen Mother had spoken out, saying that it was outrageous that Prince Ningjun had no princess in his palace. As a result, Lu Zhishan fell ill before the first lunar month, and the illness was so severe that the Queen Mother and all the empresses in the palace were so anxious that they sent imperial doctors to Ningjun Palace three times a day. Later, the Queen Mother even invited A shaman came to Prince Ningjun's mansion to exorcise evil spirits, but until Princess Goryeo came to court, Prince Ningjun's condition did not improve. As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread.
Prince Ningjun had a leg disease and was still half-dead from the illness. Naturally, Princess Korea looked down on him. The emperor had no choice but to refer Princess Korea to Lu Zhihan, the younger prince of Prince Kang's palace.
Mu Nanzhi always thought that Lu Zhishan was pretending to be ill, just like her.
But now it seems that she is too worried.
Mu Nanzhi felt completely unmotivated and did not say a word. He just messed up the handkerchief in his hand angrily and asked Du Heng with a cold face: "Why did your prince ask you to come to my house in the middle of the night?" ? Are you here to say congratulations or to visit the patient? If it’s to say congratulations, then forget it, but there’s no need to visit the patient.”
Mu Nanzhi's attitude changed so quickly that Du Heng was a little confused. Thinking about what Lu Zhishan had just told him, he felt a little uncomfortable and said: "To the county lord, please ask me to ask the county lord in person. County Lord, do you want to marry the fourth prince?”
Mu Nanzhi blurted out: "I don't want to."
Du Heng looked at Mu Nanzhi's somewhat impatient face with some confusion, took a breath, and asked bravely: "The prince asked again, if the fourth prince has no side wife, no concubine, and no maiden, what will he do?" If you treat the county lord wholeheartedly, will the county lord be willing to marry the fourth prince? "
Mu Nanzhi was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Why do I have to marry the fourth prince?! What does he have that makes me want to marry him?! What else does your master want you to ask?!"
Du Heng touched his nose and cursed in his heart, what is there for the fourth prince to marry
The fourth prince's Yushu face is like a crown jade in the wind, but he is the dream lover of all the noble ladies of the capital. Moreover, the fourth prince is the emperor's legitimate son. He is about to be appointed as the heir apparent. Anyone who wants to marry the fourth prince is afraid that he can't. After moving from the capital to Zhili, County Master Mu actually said that the fourth prince had something worthy of her marriage.
Du Heng tried his best to ignore Mu Nanzhi's eyes that were almost spitting fire. He couldn't be more hard-headed: "The county king will ask again if the county master is pretending to be ill because of this."
