The foolish king's marriage to the ugly concubine

Chapter 146: Into the Palace at Night (1)
Urged by Chu Xuanpu, the carriage went down quickly, and soon arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, and walked into the gate under the bow of a servant.

Chu Xuanlu said: "I heard that Princess Rui is ill, and this king and Yu Wang are ordered by the emperor to come to visit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the two lords for their concern." Du Ruhai nodded gratefully. He saw Lan Jingming following behind the two lords at a glance, and knew why they came. The imperial doctor came just in time, so please take a look for the princess."

Lan Jingming wore a blue gown, and although he had gray hair, he was in good spirits.

"The housekeeper doesn't need to be too polite. This king came here according to the emperor's will."

Chu Xuanpu and the two princes were invited to the living room to drink tea and wait for Lan Jingming's medical results.

"Butler Du, where's the third brother?" Chu Xuanpu couldn't sit still, and asked after taking a sip of tea.

Du Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied cautiously: "My lord—"

"Hey, yesterday the concubine was so sick that she passed out. The prince was sad all night, and drove the servants out of the room, and stayed with the concubine alone for the night. This morning, the old slave knocked on the door and found that the prince was too tired to sleep."

"Third Brother cares about Third Sister-in-law so much, he must be at a loss when he encounters this kind of thing. It's so pitiful." Chu Xuanpu and Prince Rui's Mansion got close, and he knew how much Chu Xuanyu was attached to Mu Xinran.

"Princess Rui's old illness has relapsed. I don't know what it is, but it's so serious that she's unconscious?" Chu Xuanlu asked.

"This old slave doesn't know either. I'll know when Imperial Physician Lan comes out." Du Ruhai responded, thinking that the princess was poisoned, but didn't the princess say that the poison would only affect her appearance and had nothing to do with her safety.

Just as they were talking, they heard the voice of a servant girl coming from outside the living room.

"My lord...My lord...wait, servant girl, you haven't put on your clothes yet..." Hearing the sound, several people stepped out of the threshold of the living room, only to see a white figure quickly passing through the flower forest, followed by a man in a maid's costume figure.

"You tigress! Don't chase me! I'm going to find my wife! If you chase me again, I'll bite you!" Chu Xuanyu's voice came from afar.

"Third brother is still the same, he must be in a hurry to see third sister-in-law." Chu Xuanpu looked at the disappearing figure and chuckled.

"With the concubine, the lord is much better than before. It's just that the concubine is lying on the couch and can't wake up, so she is in such a hurry." Du Ruhai looked at the disappeared Chu Xuanyu, sighed in his heart, and felt sorry for the lord, who was clearly awake. Not only can't make a big fanfare and everyone celebrates together, but also have to pretend to be stupid, I just hope that this kind of life doesn't last long.

"Let's go and have a look. Anyway, come to Prince Rui's mansion, how can we not see Third Brother. As for Third Sister-in-Law, let's just go in and see her. Stand outside the door, so we can know about her illness sooner."

So, Du Ruhai accompanied the two of them to Qingyuxuan.

When they arrived at the door of Mu Xinran's room, Chu Xuanyu was nowhere to be seen.Two servant girls stood guard outside the door, and when they saw someone coming, they quickly bowed their heads and bowed their knees.

Knowing that Chu Xuanyu had entered the house, Du Ruhai raised his voice and said, "My lord, King Ling and King Yu are here to visit the princess, can you come out first?"

No one answered.Du Ruhai couldn't help but look at the two princes in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, the two of you will stand here for a while, waiting for Doctor Lan to come out."

Not long after, the door opened.

The two who were admiring the flowers and plants in the courtyard looked towards the door.Only Lan Jingming came out, and the door was immediately closed by the maid again.

"Doctor Lan, what's wrong with my third sister-in-law?" Chu Xuanpu asked impatiently.

Chu Xuanlu also cast her eyes on his face.

"Poisoned? Who dares to poison the third sister-in-law?" Chu Xuanpu exclaimed, but she was suspicious in her heart. The whole palace was decided by the third sister-in-law. Who would dare to poison her?
"Does the housekeeper know anything?" Chu Xuanlu looked at Du Ruhai.

Du Ruhai's face remained unchanged, and he had already thought up an excuse in his heart: "The princess said that she was poisoned by a poison when she was a child, and her face was ruined by the poison. Imperial Physician Lan also knew about it."

Seeing the two princes looking at him, Lan Jingming nodded: "When the emperor ordered my minister to take care of Princess Rui, the princess claimed to have poison in her body. It's only because I haven't learned enough to know what poison is in the princess. , I can only prescribe some tonics for her to take care of her body. I just saw the princess, and saw that her complexion was pale, her lips were purple, and her pupils were dilated, which is indeed a symptom of poisoning."

"So what the third sister-in-law said at the Liyuan meeting that day is true?" Chu Xuanpu raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Emperor Lan's medical skills can't find out what poison the third sister-in-law is suffering from?"

Imperial Physician Lan wore strands of white beard, thinking that he had searched through ancient books some time ago and finally got a strange poison with symptoms similar to Princess Rui's appearance, but he hesitated whether to tell it or not.

Seeing that he seemed to be concealing something, Chu Xuanlu said in a low voice: "Physician Lan speaks up as soon as he has something to say. This matter is related to the safety of Princess Rui, so we must not hide it."

In fact, Imperial Physician Lan has been thinking about whether to tell Princess Rui about it these few days, but he never expected that there would be an accident, and the princess would suddenly become poisoned.

It's really not easy to hide right now, so I will tell you bluntly.

The statement is generally the same as that of Ning Chenxin.

Everyone frowned when they heard this, they all said it was strange.

I couldn't find a way to detoxify for a while, and I felt a little resentful.

"The person who poisoned was poisonous." Chu Xuanpu said angrily, humming in her heart, although the third sister-in-law is not like a woman, and her temper is a bit cold and ruthless, but is this not forced by the living environment?But it is really pitiful for a woman to suffer such suffering since she was a child.

Du Ruhai shared the same hatred with the enemy, and he also hated the poisoner extremely.

They came here according to the emperor's word of mouth, and naturally they had to return to the palace after watching it.Chu Xuanlu proposed to leave.

Chu Xuanpu didn't want to leave, "Second Brother, you and Imperial Physician Lan go back to the palace and talk to Brother Huang, I won't go."

He was so careful that Chu Xuanlu would not know, so he wanted to leave with Lan Jingming.

"Puff...Puff..."

Chu Xuanpu listened carefully, and suddenly asked, "Hey, did you hear anything?"

Chu Xuanlu stopped in her tracks, moved her ears, and glanced at a side room in Qingyuxuan.

"Ah! The old slave forgot! The prince's puppy is still locked in a cage." Du Ruhai slapped his forehead, apologized to Chu Xuanpu twice, and hurried to Mu Xinran's pharmacy.

Then several people heard wolf-like barking from inside the house, and after a while, they saw a silver light jumping out from the door, heading straight to Mu Xinran's room.

However, the door was closed tightly, and it couldn't get in. The whole body lay on the door, standing upright, its front paws kept pulling at the door, whimpering.

"Isn't that Xiaoyin, who looks weak, can't it be that he has been hungry for several meals?" Chu Xuanpu recognized Xiaoyin, and joked.

"Last night, the prince and it both thought that the princess had gone, and wept sadly over the body of the princess. The old slave couldn't help it, so he had to lock it in a cage. Because of the princess's affairs, his mind was in a mess, and he forgot to let it go. Come out. It looks like I'm really hungry, and I made the two princes laugh at me." Du Ruhai came out of the pharmacy and said with a little embarrassment.
