    ☆. The princess married until 27

    That night, the prince suddenly suffered from an emergency and suffered from unbearable abdominal pain that lasted for half the night.

    As soon as night fell, the eunuchs could not walk in the inner court, and Aunt Dong, who was in charge of the maids in the East Palace, was nowhere to be seen. Yao Ji asked Bai Shao to lead several maids to open the palace gate quickly to ask for the imperial doctor, and then went to Cihe Palace and Kunfu Palace to report back.It wasn’t until midnight that Shu Zhan fell asleep after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

    The person who came to diagnose the pulse was Sun Deqian, the dean of the Taiyuan Hospital. The old man had been in the palace for more than fifty years and had seen a lot of shady tricks. When he saw the princess, he asked: “This emergency…will there be any future consequences?”

    “Don’t worry, Crown Princess,” He stroked his beard. Since he couldn’t speak too clearly, he could only say vaguely, “Although I don’t know what the Crown Prince has eaten by mistake, it will cause serious harm to the woman, but it doesn’t matter to the man. ”

    “I took the medicine tonight and Wei Chen will prescribe some more prescriptions to soothe my nerves. Don’t worry about your nerves in the past few days. You can recover after a little rest.”

    After listening to this, Yao Ji finally calmed down in her heart: “Now I’ll trouble Yuan Zheng, Green Shao, to prepare some pen and ink for Yuan Zheng.”

    Green Shao then asked Sun Deqian to go outside and sit down by the bed.The person on the bed was sleeping deeply, with his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was not peaceful in his sleep.

    “Yao Yao…”

    “Yes, I’m here.” She stretched out her hand and touched Shu Zhan’s palm under the quilt.

    The scene of the young man drinking the tonic soup was still vivid in his mind. Without any hesitation, he drank the bowl of potentially fatal soup.

    “Don’t leave me… Yaoyao, don’t leave me.”

    When she heard he calling her name, it was strange that Yao Ji’s first reaction was not joy.Thin and dense pain spread from her heart, and the dull pain became more and more urgent as He shivered. She didn’t dare to speak or make a sound, she just let He hold her, and more and more moisture accumulated on the side of her neck.

    After a long time, Shu Zhan let go of her.The boy’s eyes were red, and he turned away uncomfortably: “I…”

    “Are you a fool?” She seemed to burst out all of a sudden, “You drank whatever it was, what if it was poison, what if…”

    “Am I not fine now?” Shu Zhan smiled, grabbed her hand and shook it gently, even if it was poison… he was willing to do so without hesitation.

    God knows how scared he was when he heard that Aunt Dong went to the East Palace with a bowl of soup after leaving Yongning Palace. The tragic scene eight years ago once again appeared in front of his eyes. He rushed back like crazy. He had never hated his own powerlessness for a moment.

    Fortunately, he caught up.

    It won’t be poison. Today, she can no longer be as unscrupulous as in the past.

    “It doesn’t matter, Yaoyao,” the young man said softly, “I will definitely protect you, and no one can take you away.”

    No one can take you away…

    There are so many things that have been taken away from him in his life.Mother, grandfather, wet nurse, even… a grasshopper.You can’t keep what you want, and you can’t get what you want. There are only a few stones on the deserted river bank, with sharp edges and corners, which can make people bleed.

    I still remember that he was eleven years old. He watched with his own eyes the old eunuch who was given to him by his grandfather took the cup and drank the poisonous wine.

    Concubine De stood in front of him, her beautiful face full of astonishment: “You are so presumptuous! What are you doing? Why don’t you take down this unruly slave!”

    “Your Majesty, please forgive me,” the old eunuch said, “I am blinded by lard…”

    He knelt down and said, “The wine was given to the prince by your Majesty. I shouldn’t drink it. My Majesty, please forgive me. My Majesty, please forgive me…”

    That night, the old eunuch died.

    The official statement in the palace was that he died suddenly due to an old age, but everyone present at the time knew that he died for the prince, and that he drank the poisonous wine for the prince.

    That was the last one, the last person who stayed with him.After all, I still left him.

    In the end, the matter was not concealed. Although the Queen Mother tried her best to cover it up, several ministers from the religious affairs hall found out about it.

    The prime minister at that time was not Shu Zhan’s uncle Kong Zheng. He was horrified after hearing this: “How can a woman in the harem dare to poison the prince after such a heinous thing? This is chaos! Chaos!”

    “Your Majesty,” several prime ministers even forced themselves in front of Emperor Yuan Guang, “Concubine De’s domineering and arrogant behavior can no longer be tolerated. If we kill the prince today, what will happen to her in the future? Your Majesty, please clarify the punishment.”

    “The prince is fine, why do you say this?” How did Emperor Yuan Guang respond at that time?He was very light, as if the person who was almost poisoned was not his biological son, “Concubine De did something wrong. I have left her to think about it behind closed doors. There is no need to discuss this matter again.”

    In exchange for one life, Concubine De spent three months behind closed doors.From then on, Concubine De did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before, but Shu Zhan’s heart was completely cold.

    He thinks he finally understands that since some things are not available, they are unnecessary.

    He is used to being alone, and he is used to not leaving anything behind.

    The new little palace maid in the East Palace was particularly kind to him and took care of him like a younger brother. When Concubine De found out about it, she beat him to death on the pretext of bumping into the royal chariot.The consul maid who had served him for several years was sent to Shanglin Garden by an oral order from the Queen Mother, and gave him Aunt Dong who had previously been on duty in Cihe Palace.The old eunuch died, and new people came to him, but he was used to it and would no longer try to get close to them, nor would he want to get a little warmth from them.

    “Is this why you… kicked Xiao Liu’er out of the East Palace?”

    He always changes his personal attendants frequently. It’s not that Shu Zhan doesn’t trust them, he just doesn’t want them to be implicated.The two palaces don’t want to see anyone get close to him and be loyal to him, but people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. If they get along with each other for a long time, if they feel compassion, disaster may be waiting for them.

    It’s just that there was an accident.

    Shu Zhan thought he could push Yao Ji away, just like he pushed away all those people before.But gradually, he wavered. After every avoidance, he couldn’t help but get closer.

    I want to be close to her, I want to care for her, and even… I want to be with her forever.

    It was late at night and the young man fell into a deep sleep.

    Yao Ji rubbed her tired eyes and walked to the window, trying to put away the prescription Sun Deqian had written on the case.

    Whispering, the night wind blew in through the crack of the window that was not closed tightly. She hurriedly pressed the prescription with her hand, and saw a “Book of Songs” in the corner of the desk making a rustling sound.

    It was the “Book of Songs” that she had used to teach Shu Zhan how to recognize names. It was considered a dowry from her parents’ family, so her name was written on the corner of the title page.Yao Ji put away the prescription and wanted to put the Book of Songs back into the box.Perhaps because the page had been flipped through too many times, the paper with “Zhan Lu” written on it had a little crease. She turned it over and her eyes suddenly froze.

    “Zhan Zhan Lusi is on the other side of the thorns. A gentleman who shows his kindness will always be virtuous.”

    That was a poem that she taught Shu Zhan to recite. At that time, the young man dismissed it and didn’t even look at it.At this time, she discovered that there was a line of small words written in clear and elegant handwriting under the poem –

    “My heart is full of love, and I don’t care about it. I hide it in my heart and never forget it.”
