Chapter 320 The Prince's Illness
Mu Jiaojiao turned around helplessly.

"Concubine Shizi, I asked you to stop the loss in time, but I didn't say that I would help you cure this disease. Besides, the person who is really sick is obviously not you, so why do you have to blame yourself for the cause?"

"But if you can't have children, isn't it a woman's problem in the eyes of others?"

"He doesn't even touch you, how could you give birth? Could it be that you have sex with another man to give birth?"

"Mrs. Cui Xianzun, please be careful!"

As soon as this remark came out, Mammy's face changed drastically, and she quickly got up and drove all the maids out of the room.

However, the concubine Shizi seemed to have grasped at straws, and hurried forward to grab Mu Jiaojiao's sleeve: "You really know! You have already seen it, right? He is indeed sick, right? You can cure it." Is he right?"

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head. "The first time I saw Shizi, I really thought there was something wrong with him. But what really made me sure of this was when I went to Leyouyuan to watch the sunset, and I saw you worshiping a Bodhisattva. You haven't given birth to Shizi for many years. It stands to reason that you should It would be crazy to see a doctor, but I have hardly seen you see any doctor, and you have been worshiping the Bodhisattva. That is to say, you don’t need to see a doctor at all, you can only hope that the Bodhisattva will let the son get rid of that problem. "

The secret that had been hidden in her heart was pulled out and spread out in the sun, and the imperial concubine immediately collapsed.She tugged on Mu Jiaojiao's sleeve and wept loudly.

"Everyone says that the son is good-looking, and everyone says that he treats me well, except that I have never even accepted a concubine. They all say that marrying the son is a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes, and I must cherish the blessing in this life." We must quickly give birth to ten or eight sons for the eldest son! But who knows, he never touched me except on the wedding night! Even if he sleeps next to me every night, we sleep with our clothes on. He doesn’t even want to move my fingers. Instead of sleeping with me, he would rather spend the night alone in the study!”

"I have euphemistically mentioned this matter to my aunt, and they can only urge the prince to come to my room more. But he still doesn't touch me, so what's the use? My mother's family thinks I'm useless, scold me, I said the prince However, they said that I was useless and couldn’t catch a man’s heart. Three days ago, my natal sister-in-law came over and said that her natal sister liked the eldest son, and asked me to take her in. I don’t want to harm another little lady’s life She declined. Who knew that she scolded me, saying that I was jealous and wanted to cut off the prince. Did she think that I had never arranged a concubine for the prince? But the prince did not even touch it!"

Seeing her crying sadly, the mother and the maid also burst into tears.The nanny hurriedly knelt down in front of Mu Jiaojiao: "Mrs. Cui Xianzun, if you can really cure the son's illness, please help the son's concubine! She has had a really hard life these past few years. gone."

"It's not that I don't help, but that it's too troublesome. Instead of this, you might as well cut the mess quickly, leave this ghost place, marry a normal man, and have two children as soon as possible, won't it prove that you are innocent? Is there a problem?" Mu Jiaojiao said in a deep voice.

"I am the concubine of Prince Wei. This marriage is a political marriage between the royal family and Hongnong Yang's family. In addition, my aunts and uncles have been kind to me all these years. Apart from not sharing the same room with me, the eldest son also respects me. After so many years, my uncle has not divorced me in the name of nothing, so what reason do I have to reconcile? Even my parents at home, they will definitely not agree with me to do this!" The princess cried.

"In other words, you still can't bear him." Mu Jiaojiao pointed out the key point.

Concubine Shi Zi was startled, then slowly lowered her head: "You're right, I still can't bear him. If possible, I still want to be husband and wife with him for the rest of my life and have children for him."

"If I tell you that to achieve this goal, you are likely to sacrifice your own life, would you still be willing? If so, if your life is gone, he will marry another woman and have children with another woman Are you willing to see such a situation?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

The concubine's body froze. "If that's the case... If that's the case, it's my fate, I admit it! As long as my son is healthy and can have children safely, I'm content!"

"You... hey!" Mu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, since you insist on this, then first show me the study where my dead son always stays!"

Hearing this, Shi Zifei's face turned pale again. "The study is the most private place of the son. He has always been the only one who can enter it. Even my aunts and uncles are rarely able to set foot in it. Even when he is not there, there are guards outside, and no one else is there. Can't get in."

"Only by visiting there can I determine what kind of disease he has, and then prescribe the right medicine." Mu Jiaojiao said, "And, didn't you just say that as long as you can cure the son's disease, you are willing to pay for your life?" ?”

Shi Zifei's eyes flickered, and she immediately settled down: "Okay, I'll ask someone to lure away the boy who is looking at the study."

The two servant girls hurried out, and after about a stick of incense, one of them came back and said, "Concubine Shizi, it's alright."

The concubine Shizi nodded to Mu Jiaojiao: "Let's go!"

"You don't need to bring too many people, just the two of us. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be discovered." Mu Jiaojiao said.The imperial concubine nodded quickly.

The two quietly went to the door of Prince Wei's study, and sure enough, they saw the servant guarding the study being led away.Shi Zifei pushed open the door and walked in, only to see that it was a very ordinary study room, with a huge bookshelf standing against the wall, filled with books.There is a couch by the window on the other side, and on the couch is an open ancient book, as well as other pens, ink, paper and inkstones, etc. are all available.

Mu Jiaojiao slowly walked around inside, and the concubine followed suit: "What can you see?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

"what?"

"There is a smell, it should come from somewhere—it's here!" Suddenly standing still in front of a bookshelf, Mu Jiaojiao swept his eyes and pulled down one of the thick books.

Then there was a soft creaking sound, and this small bookshelf opened like a door, revealing a series of steps leading to the underground hidden behind.

"The bottom should be where the truth is, dare to go down and have a look?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

The concubine Shizi took a deep breath and took the lead. "Walk!"

The two of them walked down the steps, and when they reached their destination, they were both stunned by what they saw.

"My God!" The Princess Concubine covered her lips with her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Even Mu Jiaojiao blinked several times in fright before slowly accepting the facts before him.

The place below is not big, only about the size of a bedroom. There is a couch in the center, covered with quilts and other things. It seems that the crown prince often rests here.These are normal, but what is abnormal is that in this room, on the four walls, and even on the top of the head, there are actually large and large glass mirrors inlaid!

Glass is still a luxury in this era, and there is no ability to make large ones, so even for nobles and grandchildren, it is already very good to have a small piece the size of a palm in the house.But here, the specifications of these glass mirrors are far beyond the size they can usually see.Moreover, with so many glass inlaid on five walls, one can imagine how much manpower and material resources were spent!
Standing in the room, no matter which direction you look, you can see yourself clearly from every angle.Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

The blood on Shizi Concubine's face had already faded away, and her pale face looked extremely pitiful.

She quickly grabbed Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Why does the prince build such a house here? He must not be possessed by evil spirits, right?"

"It's not enough to be possessed by evil spirits." Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, and suddenly pulled her to walk aside.Then he picked up a crumpled handkerchief beside the couch.

"Is this what the prince dropped?" The concubine Shizi asked tremblingly.

"Well, the product of his self-blasphemy." Mu Jiaojiao responded.

The concubine Shizi swayed again, her eyes darkened and she almost fainted.But with Mu Jiaojiao by her side, she naturally couldn't faint.

"Are you sad now? Think he would rather settle in this place by himself than touch you, hurting your self-esteem as a woman?" Mu Jiaojiao asked softly.

The imperial concubine shed tears again unconsciously.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head, then dragged her to a cage next to the couch. "Open this, and all the things you've been sad about since then won't be a thing."

The Crown Princess began to tremble, and even her two lips trembled uncomfortably.

"However, if you don't dare, forget it, it's the same when we go up now." Mu Jiaojiao said again.As he spoke, he wanted to drag her back.

But the concubine Shizi remained motionless. "No, I'm going to open it and have a look."

As she spoke, she walked forward quickly and lifted the lid of the cage.

When she saw the first set of women's clothing there, Shi Zifei's complexion miraculously recovered a tinge of blood.

"These clothes...are he wearing them himself?"

"That's right." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

The imperial concubine immediately let out a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not another woman's clothes."

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's eyes twitched. "If it's another woman's clothes, it's easy to handle. But if it's his own clothes, it's difficult!"

The concubine Shi Zi closed her eyes and was speechless for a while.

This basement is so big, two people went up after seeing it.The imperial concubine drank two cups of tea in a row before slowly calming down.

"The son's illness, Madam Sixth, do you have an idea?"

Mu Jiaojiao sighed again: "Are you sure you want to treat him? No matter what the cost is?"

"Yes!" The Crown Princess nodded firmly.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head, and suddenly asked: "Do you know about Wen Zhi's death?"

"Wen Zhi's death?" Cui Pu's face changed drastically when he heard this.

"No! You can't go and treat him!"

"I've already promised Shi Zifei." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"I'll reject it for you!" Cui Pu jumped up.

"I remember that you and the prince are also good friends... No, the prince seems to be the only friend like you, right? He has this disease now, so you don't want him to recover? The king of Wei is only his son, and he must inherit Wei in the future. From the palace, you just hope that he will never be born again?" Mu Jiaojiao asked slowly.

Cui Pu paused.

Until now he didn't know why Prince Wei became friends with him.This reason is simply too shameful - just because he looks good!
He just said, there are so many nobles in Chang'an City, why did he choose himself as a friend?Others, no matter how high their background was, he just ignored them if they didn't like them.At the beginning, he thought it was because of the relationship with the prince of Wei that he didn't want to have more contact with those powerful people.In the end, he didn't realize that he really thought too much until the cruel truth unfolded in front of his eyes.

This Prince Wei's son, he is simply a face control!What's more, it's nothing more than face control, he's still narcissistic!Just because of his good looks, he fell in love with himself deeply, thinking that he was the only one worthy of him in this world, and he dismissed others.The concubine's birth is actually not bad, but her appearance is only above average, so he can't look down on her.He secretly made such a place for himself in the study to entertain himself...

This is not enough.Because the son is too obsessed with himself, he feels that it is too boring to be alone with him in this world, and he sighs and sighs every day, so he suffers from depression.

What are these things!
Shouldn't he be glad that he was not as good as Wei Wang's son, so that one hasn't made up his mind on him yet?
And after hearing what Mu Jiaojiao said, he finally understood why she hadn't given the slightest thought to Prince Wei's son.How could she like such a narcissist?

It's just that Prince Wei's kindness to him these years is really good.If he rejected people thousands of miles away just because of this matter, he wouldn't be able to do it.If it is possible, he naturally hopes that someone can cure the son's illness.

But this doctor can't be Mu Jiaojiao!

Especially now that there is the miserable precedent of Wen Zhi before his eyes.

Cui Pu buried his head in thought for a long time, but still shook his head resolutely: "Of course I hope that my son's descendants will be prosperous. But compared with the descendants of my son, I hope that you are safe and sound. So let's forget about it!"

"Forget it. Since I promised Shi Zifei, I must do what I say." Mu Jiaojiao said, then smiled sweetly at him, "By the way, I will still need your help when the time comes!"
