Views:

As for the other people who came behind, none of them dared to step forward, the Ninth Prince motioned to send Xie Jingtian back to Xie's Mansion.

Not long after, the Ninth Prince frowned slightly, looked down, Xiao Ting closed her eyes, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After sniffing and breathing lightly, the Ninth Prince quickly checked her pulse, but found that there was no call.

"Princess..."

The Ninth Prince called twice, but Xiao Ting didn't wake up. He immediately carried her away and returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

In the clear sky and broad daylight, a fight outside the main gate of the imperial palace was so shocking that it pierced the sky.

The emperor was furious when he found out, and he didn't ask the government to investigate, and he didn't blame anyone. Instead, he issued eight edicts to find Master Wuliang to come to Beijing.

As we all know, Master Wuliang is an eminent monk of Tianlong Temple, and he is an outsider with boundless Dharma.

But he is different from other outsiders, he is also an alchemist, who can determine the universe and calculate yin and yang, but unfortunately he only saves destined people.

When he became famous, he began to travel around the world, and no one knew where he was.

Today, the emperor's eight edicts made everyone guess that they must be related to this fight.

For a while, the news spread, and there were many opinions.

Some people said that those people he saw with his own eyes were all immortal, and the more times they died, the faster they would be resurrected.

Some people also say that they are a kind of birds, otherwise how could they fall from the sky.

In the end they all focused on one point.

The target of those people is Xiao Ting.

They were all guessing what kind of outrageous thing Miss Xiao Liu had done to provoke such a group of monsters.

Of course, the saddest thing behind this incident is the Xie Mansion.

Grandson Shang, Mr. Lin Ge went to the Nine Kings Mansion for this reason, and he led the troops there.

Everyone guessed that this was to trouble Miss Xiao Liu.

But to everyone's surprise, when he entered, he was aggressive, but when he came out, he was calm. He took a deep look at the Nine Princes Mansion, and then left.

Several major events happened in this early winter. First, there was a strange battle outside the imperial palace, which resulted in heavy losses, and the death of an imperial court official, Minister of Civil Affairs Xie Jingtian. Later, when Xie Minister was buried, heavy snow fell from the sky, and his body miraculously disappeared.

It became a mystery.

Afterwards, Princess Zhaohua married Li Mingcheng, the youngest son of Prime Minister Zuo.

As the year approached, the imperial city, which hadn't seen snow in a hundred years, had a few thin snowfalls, and the weather became extremely cold.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the three princes got married. An Xiyue, the concubine of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, got married in a grand manner, and officially became the third prince's official concubine. She was granted a foreign house and moved out of the palace.

At the same time, the fourth and sixth princes also granted houses one after another, which was a kind of call.

It indicates that the next crown prince will be born soon.

Everyone became tense, and officials of all sizes from the court and the central government began to move around. It was often cold and dewy in the middle of the night, and the night lights were heavy.

On the last day of Emperor Renxiao's twenty-sixth year, heavy snow fell and drifted for a whole day, before it stopped suddenly at nightfall.

All the prefectures and courtyards came out to clean up one after another and drew a road.

But in front of the gate of the Nine Princes' Mansion, nothing has changed. No matter how thick the snow pile is, the gate has never been opened, let alone a single person will walk out.

If it wasn't nightfall, some people would think that this place had become a dead house when they saw the lights flickering in the mansion.

Two months ago, in the tragic battle outside the gate of the imperial palace, not only Xie Shilang was the important person involved in the accident, but also the former abolished ninth princess who was present at the time.

Xiao Ting, who is also the current concubine of the Ninth Prince, also fell into a coma for a long time after that battle and fell into a deep sleep.

It was heard that the imperial doctors took turns to go to battle, and they couldn't find any abnormalities. She didn't have any physical problems, but she couldn't wake up.

The emperor's eight edicts have not yet recalled Master Wuliang, and issued another ten edicts to recruit capable people from all over the world, medical immortals and poison sages to diagnose and treat the nine princesses.

If she can be rescued, she will be crowned the king of one county and enjoy the glory of two lives.

Such a decree caused great upheaval in the world, and almost capable people came to the imperial city. At one time, the inns in the imperial city were full, and some people stayed on the streets in the city. What's more, tents were set up outside the city, and people lived there.

Naturally, it caused great waves, which really made the people in Jiuwangfu happy for a while.

But despite mobilizing the power of the entire Celestial Dynasty, the Ninth Princess did not wake up, and there was not even the slightest call to wake up.

Then, the Nine Princes Mansion issued an order banning doctors, if you see any doctor in the imperial city who does not belong to the imperial city, kill them!

This statement is not a joke. The ban on medical treatment was issued at noon, and it is unknown how many people died that night. At dawn the next day, before the gates of the city were opened, many people scrambled to get out.

For a quarter of an hour, the imperial city seemed to suddenly quiet down, which made the people who had been hustle and bustle for half a month still a little unaccustomed.

In the end, gradually, this ban on medical treatment became known to ordinary people, and only then did everyone understand that it must be those quack doctors who failed to cure the nine princesses, so the nine princes became angry.

As soon as such a guess came out, everyone vetoed it again. Who is the Ninth Prince and how could he do such a thing? Someone must be impersonating him.

But the days passed day by day, so many people died, but no officers and soldiers were seen investigating the matter. All the officials were living as usual without any change. Only then did everyone believe that all this was done by that man who looked like a banished fairy.

He fell into the mortal world, started killing, and entered the world.

At the same time, the gates of the Nine Princes' Mansion were closed under the blue sky and broad daylight. According to the observations of interested people, they have never been opened again.

And I have never seen any living things come out of the mansion.

Not to mention that someone went in, and someone also saw that the carriage in the palace stayed for a while, but no one got out of the carriage or knocked on the door, and finally drove away slowly.

Even when Princess Zhaohua married the third prince, none of the masters of the Ninth Prince's Mansion appeared. This made people guess what happened in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The still snow is picturesque, white and bright, and lanterns are lit in the Lanyue courtyard, shaking gently.

The gatekeepers, Red Spoon and Green Weed, are making snowmen with the two little masters, having fun.

The children's laughter made this long-closed palace a little popular.

"My lord, the snowman's eyes are black."

Hong Shao reminded Chu Yun that it was wrong for her to order red beans, but black beans instead.

But Chu Yun would not listen to her, so he squeezed a few red beans together and pressed them lightly, saying: "This son likes red eyes."

"..." Lu Huo patted the red spoon, and secretly glared at her, arguing with the prince, really uncomfortable.

On the other side, Xiao Xin was sitting on the cushion, her little face was flushed from the cold, and her little hand was helping to hold a plate, which contained all kinds of beans and dishes, all of which Chu Yun would use.

He didn't participate in it, but sat obediently aside, but looked into the room.

"Okay." Chu Yun clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "Xiao Xin, how about this snowman I made?"

Only then did Xiao Xin turn her gaze over, "The nose is crooked."

"Ah, it's all because of the red spoon, I can't even see the direction right." As he spoke, he went to pull out the carrot and put the little snowman's nose back on.

Xiao Xin looked at the sky, there were already a few stars twinkling, there was a wind blowing, and there were a few clouds floating, which symbolized that tomorrow would be a good weather.

"I'm going to see my sister." Xiao Xin got up, handed the things to Lu Cai, pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room, a few lampstands illuminated the entire inner room, and there were four braziers placed in front of and behind the bed, and the windows were opened with small slits so as not to make people feel stuffy.

The temperature is right.

On the bed, there is no silk gauze at all, everything here is arranged according to Xiao Ting's preferences.

She doesn't like the feeling of being surrounded by things, so there is no sheer curtain.

At this moment, she was lying there quietly, with a gentle expression. What was rare was that she was lying there upright, with her hands on her sides, very well-behaved.

If it was in the past, how could she sleep like this obediently, and she doesn't know where she went.

"Sister, tomorrow is the new year, how long do you plan to sleep in?"

Xiao Xin stepped forward, took a small handkerchief, dipped it in water and wrung it dry, and began to wipe Xiao Ting's hands and face, completing his daily tasks.

Hong Shao and Lu Huo stood beside her, helping to take care of Xiao Ting together, their faces were very solemn, Hong Shao couldn't hold back at the end, a tear fell, just falling on Xiao Ting's little finger.

Seen by Xiao Xin, she frowned slightly and said, "Sister doesn't like to see others cry."

Hong Shao immediately turned his back and wiped away his tears, "I know I was wrong."

But Chu Yun stood not far away, his eyes were calm, he neither went up to help nor left, just stood quietly like this.

Not long after, the Ninth Prince stepped forward.

Chu Yun walked over and whispered to his father.

Ninth Prince nodded, but didn't say much.

Everyone bowed to him, and then retreated.

leave the house to their masters.

Outside the house, Xiao Xin looked in from time to time, and said, "Sister Luhuo, when do you think sister will wake up?"

The corner of Lu Hui's mouth showed bitterness, "Yes, the princess is reluctant to part with the young master."

No one knows why Xiao Ting fell into a deep sleep.

She was not injured, or ill, or disaster, but she just fell asleep in the arms of Ninth Prince.

I haven't woken up yet.

The room was inexplicably silent, and the outside also fell into extreme silence. After a while, Xiao Xin spoke again, saying: "Brother-in-law is very kind to sister."

Green grass patted his head, but didn't say anything.

It happened so suddenly at the beginning, no one thought that the Ninth Prince's entry into the palace not only brought back the princess, but also restored her identity.

But before digesting the joyful news, I got the fact that Xiao Ting was in a coma.

In half a month, the situation in the imperial city was changing. Although the people who came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion were strictly screened, there was still an endless stream.

And Xiao Ting's body is like a sponge, whether it is medicine stones or other methods, she always absorbs them without any discomfort, but she just never wakes up.

In the end, an old man told her that her soul may have fallen into a deep sleep, and it had nothing to do with her body. Now she can only support her body and wait quietly.

Naturally, no one would believe such absurd remarks.

However, the Ninth Prince believed it, he drove away all the incompetent people, and issued a ban on medical treatment that day, almost bloodbathed most of the imperial city.

For this reason, the emperor never even set foot in the Nine Princes' Mansion when he came in person.
