On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, His Majesty the Emperor accepted congratulations from civil and military officials, and gave a banquet at night, and the emperor and his ministers had fun together. This is the first palace banquet of the New Year, it is extremely grand, and everything is of the highest standard.
The inside and outside of the palace are very lively, prosperous and prosperous, full of beauty.
It was not until after the Shangyuan Festival that the court meeting was resumed. Therefore, Murong Yu was relatively free for the past half month, only dealing with urgent government affairs, most of the time lurking in the East Palace to hang out with Murong Ci.
According to the usual practice, there will be a banquet in the palace during the Shangyuan Festival, but due to the decline of the royal family and clan, and the poor health of the emperor, it was canceled this year.
Murong Ci planned to go out of the palace at night to go to the night market to watch lanterns, but when he was about to go out, he received a letter from the palace man.
It was a letter from Shen Zhiyan, saying that his sister Shen Zhili rented a painting boat on the Luohe River and invited her to enjoy the lanterns together.
"Didn't Your Highness make an appointment with Yu Wang to enjoy the lantern together?" Qin Ruo also saw that Shen Zhili liked Yu Wang, and didn't want Shen Zhili to interfere.
"I have to think about it carefully, let's go shopping in the street first."
Murong Ci and Murong Yu did make an appointment to enjoy the lanterns together, anyway, they were wearing masks bought on the street, so no one knew it was them. Forget it, I won't go to Shen Zhili and the others.
However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they met Murong Lan.
Murong Lan was about to leave the palace with the maids close to him, Murong Ci smiled and asked: "Didn't you say that you want to accompany the father?"
"Father said that my sister had been with him all day, so I asked my sister to go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns. My sister insisted, so my father kicked me out." Murong Lan smiled softly.
"Princess, there are many people on the street, so be careful not to be targeted by bad guys." Qin Ruo warned.
"Well, I will be careful." Murong Lan's watery eyes suddenly turned, "Brother Huang is also going to enjoy the lanterns, sister Chen wants to go with Brother Huang, is that okay?"
"We are going to enjoy the lanterns, so let's go together." Murong Ci hesitated for a while, but did not refuse after all.
Murong Lan was too kind and thoughtless, so Murong Ci was really worried when she and the court lady went to the street, so he agreed.
Qin Ruo said in a low voice: "Your Highness, why don't you bring the princess to Mr. Shen. If the princess plays with Mr. Shen and the others, there shouldn't be any accidents."
Murong Ci's eyes brightened, yes, that's the way to go.
They came to the bank of the Luohe River and found Shen Zhiyan and others. Also in the boat were Shen Zhili's three boudoir sisters.
Murong Ci whispered to Qin Ruo: "You go to the place agreed by Ben Gong and Yu Wang, and I will go there later."
Qin Ruo took the order to leave.
Murong Lan is gentle and generous, and soon plays with girls of the same age.
Murong Ci winked at Shen Zhiyan, and the two stood in the corner, she patted his arm lightly, and asked with a smile, "Why did you hook up with the princess?"
"Your Highness, I..." Shen Zhiyan stammered, his eyes full of shame.
"You don't need to be nervous. I didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. You took away the troublesome princess, and it's too late for me to thank you. How can I blame you?"
"Your Highness said that, so I feel relieved." He no longer felt awkward, and said softly, "When Your Highness was in West Qin, the princess went out to play in the street and was bullied by some hooligans. I happened to pass by and saved the princess. Since then, the princess will "
"It turned out that it was the hero who saved the beauty. Since then, the princess has moved on and fell in love with you."
"That's it"
"Thanks to you, you really are my good brother."
Murong Ci patted him on the shoulder, and when he saw Shen Zhili walking over with a plate of pastries, he suppressed his smile.
Shen Zhili said softly: "Your Highness, this is a plum cake made by myself, you can try it."
Murong Ci took a piece of plum cake and took a small bite, "Well, it's delicious. Sweet but not greasy, crisp and refreshing. Miss Shen is a good cook."
Shen Zhili smiled slightly, as if hesitating for a while before asking: "Your Highness, there is no palace banquet in the palace today, I wonder if Yu Wanghexie will come out to enjoy the lanterns?"
Murong Ci tensed up, and said: "How does this palace know? You should ask the princess."
Shen Zhili chuckled, "That's true. Your Highness sees that I'm so busy."
After that, she turned around to greet the sisters in her boudoir.
Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan chatted and ate plum cakes, and they ate three cakes in a row.
Suddenly, they heard Qin Ruo's voice: "Your Highness, Master Shen, the King Yu is here."
It was not too loud, but everyone heard it. Everyone looked back one after another, especially those ladies from famous families.
The ladies headed by Shen Zhili turned into nympho one after another, some had stars in their eyes, some lowered their eyes shyly, and some stared straight at him, Yuwang Wentao and Wu Lue. He was as handsome as a god and belonged to countless ladies The man in Chungui's dream, who can resist his charm
Shen Zhili looked at him obsessively, she had imagined that he would come to enjoy the flowers and the moon together on a boat tonight, but she was not sure that he would come, at this moment, her heart was surging, and joy flowed through her limbs.
Murong Ci sighed speechlessly, he was destined to be a peach blossom, and wherever he went, a bunch of women couldn't take their eyes off him.
Suddenly, she felt that her mind was empty, and her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything.
Seeing her limp for no reason, Murong Yu rushed over and hugged her up.
There was a sudden change in the painting boat, and everyone was in a panic.
"Your Highness Your Highness" he hugged her and shouted anxiously.
"How could Your Highness have fainted so he was fine just now?" Shen Zhiyan was also anxious.
Murong Lan, Shen Zhili and others looked at each other, at a loss. Shen Zhili saw it clearly, just now Yu Wang rushed over swiftly and had the quickest reaction. And now he is also the most concerned about His Royal Highness, his reaction is interesting.
At this time, the unconscious Murong Ci's face was pale, and Qin Ruo guessed, "Will your Highness be poisoned?"
"Did your Highness eat or drink just now?" Murong Yu said coldly.
"Your Highness just ate three pieces of plum cake." Shen Zhiyan replied.
"My lord, I made the plum blossom cake myself, so there will be no problem." Shen Zhili explained with trepidation.
"Go back to the palace with me." Murong Yu picked up A Ci, his face was as cold as iron, and he walked out without a step.
Qin Ruo, Shen Zhiyan, Murong Lan and others followed immediately.
Due to the large number of people on the street, it took a lot of effort to return to Yuwangfu.
Murong Yu went straight to the main hospital while holding Ah Ci, and at the same time ordered Lin Butler to pass on the doctor and his subordinate Ma Dong who was good at the doctor, and go to the palace to invite Master Shen, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.
Murong Lan, Shen Zhiyan and others stayed outside, only Qin Ruo followed in the dormitory to serve.
Murong Ci was lying on the bed, breathing still, Murong Yu sat beside the bed and whispered anxiously: "A Ci, A Ci"
"My lord, the blue color on His Highness's face seems to be getting heavier and heavier." Qin Ruo was overwhelmed with anxiety.
"Go and see if the government doctor is here." He held Ah Ci's little hand, and found that her little hand was terribly cold, and panicked even more.
Qin Ruo went out in a hurry, Ma Dong, the subordinate who was good at medicine, rushed over, and the government doctor also rushed over.
Murong Lan asked anxiously: "Qin Ruo, is Brother Huang awake?"
Qin Ruo shook her head, "Your Highness is still in a coma. Princess, Master Shen, it's windy outside, why don't you wait in the wing room first."
"It's okay. Go in quickly." Shen Zhiyan frowned deeply.
"Brother, could it be that there is something wrong with the plum cake I made?" Shen Zhili asked worriedly. She, who has always been assertive, seemed to have lost her soul at this moment, and had doubts about herself.
"I can't tell. But I also ate a piece of plum cake, and the others ate too. Why are we all fine?" Shen Zhiyan pondered.
"I also ate two pieces of plum cake, why did only the emperor have an accident?" Murong Lan was puzzled.
"Yeah, I ate a piece too, it's so strange." Murong Shi said.
Shen Zhili looked at the tightly closed door, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and prayed to God in his heart: Guanyin Bodhisattva, Shen Zhili begs you to show mercy and protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Guanyin Bodhisattva, Shen Zhili, I beg you
In the dormitory, the government doctor and Ma Dong took turns to examine Murong Ci.
Murong Yu anxiously asked: "How is it?"
The doctor replied: "Reporting to the prince, the villain thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince has signs of poisoning."
Ma Dong's face was heavy, he looked into her eyes and felt her pulse, and finally said: "My lord, I think that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be poisoned."
Qin Ruo asked suspiciously: "It's not poisoning, what is it? Why are the diagnoses of the two of you so different?"
Ma Dong explained: "Your Highness, if you are poisoned, you will usually vomit blood, but Your Highness did not vomit blood."
"But the crown prince's lower face is turning blue, which is a symptom of poisoning." The doctor argued.
"The blue face may be a symptom of other diseases." Ma Dong argued.
"That's enough, stop arguing," Murong Yu said angrily, "Go out and wait."
The two bowed and exited.
Qin Ruo thought to herself, she can only wait for Master Shen, the envoy of the Supreme Hospital, to come.
After waiting for another two cups of tea, Mr. Shen finally arrived. Murong Yu refused to allow him to be too polite, and asked him to treat His Royal Highness quickly.
Mr. Shen made a careful examination and frowned slightly, "My lord, forgive me for my lack of knowledge and lack of knowledge. I can't diagnose the disease for a while."
Murong Yu's heart fell into an abyss in an instant, "Even you can't diagnose Mr. Shen, you are the most skilled imperial physician in the imperial hospital."
"My lord, the pulse condition of His Royal Highness is a bit chaotic, sometimes rapid and sometimes gentle, but there is no big problem. The lower part of the Prince is blue, and he is lethargic, but other than that, he has no symptoms." Lord Shen explained.
"What does it mean that you don't have any symptoms?" Murong Yu became even more confused.
"In other words, judging from the pulse condition, His Highness the Crown Prince's body is very healthy." Mr. Shen frowned and said, "However, the Crown Prince's lower part is turning blue, and he is lethargic, which is really strange."
"Then Master Shen, can you try to make His Highness wake up?"
"The next official will first give acupuncture to His Highness to wake him up."
Master Shen opened the medicine box, took out the needle bag, and began to administer needles.
Not long after, Murong Ci's head, hands and other big points were pricked with needles. Suddenly, her brows furrowed, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her head moved uneasily.
Qin Ruo said pleasantly: "My lord, Your Highness is conscious, isn't he waking up soon?"
Murong Yu was ecstatic, and called out: "Your Highness, Your Highness"
However, Murong Ci moved a few times uneasily, then regained his composure, and fell into a deep sleep.
He became even more anxious and worried, "Master Shen, why is this happening?"
