Chapter 1003 Seeking an audience
Although Eva had not been in Beijing for long, she had already heard from the maid about Rong San being infatuated with Princess Chu Yu.
Therefore, she deliberately brought up this topic to divert Rong San's attention.
The look Rong San shot at her just now made her feel like she was standing in front of him with all her clothes off, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
Rong San's eyes brightened, but soon dimmed again.
He said angrily, "My mother is ill, and you have been having a hard time at home recently."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do as the daughter-in-law of the Rong family." Although she said this, her eyes were red and her face was full of grievances, showing the grievances of a neglected little daughter-in-law vividly.
Rong San said a few words of concern, and after having breakfast with her, he went to visit Princess Rong with her.
After Princess Rong fell ill, she never got up. In just a few days, she was so thin that she was reduced to a human figure, her eyes were deeply sunken, and her hands were as thin as a pair of eagle talons. Same, shocking.
When they entered the house, Rong Wu was carefully feeding Princess Rong blood swallow porridge.
Seeing Rong San, Rong Wu called her brother, but when she looked at Eva, her eyes were full of disdain. She didn't call her sister-in-law, hummed twice, turned around, and continued to feed the bird's nest porridge to Princess Rong.
"Fifth sister, have you seen that the concubine has improved in the past two days?" Rong San leaned over, took a clean handkerchief, and gently wiped the porridge stains on the corners of Princess Rong's lips.
"No." Rong Wu shook his head sadly, "Brother, can you go to the Chu family and ask Divine Doctor Bai to come and look at your mother-in-law? The doctors outside are all quacks. My mother-in-law doesn't see any improvement after taking medicine every day. If you keep dragging on like this, Go down, I'm afraid..."
"Doctor Bai has been staying in the palace these days. I heard that he is taking care of the emperor's health." Without the emperor's order, it would be difficult for Dr. Bai to leave the palace.
Rong Wudao, "Then let your father go find Doctor Bai."
Her father went to the palace every day to attend court in the morning. As long as he talked to the emperor properly, the emperor would not be an unkind person.
Rong San hummed.
Unexpectedly, after Prince Rong went to the palace for the morning court today, he did not come back in the afternoon. Prince Rong's servant came back and said that the emperor had left Prince Rong to play chess with the Celestial Master in the palace.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Heavenly Master in charge of the Huguo Temple is not only an eminent monk with superb magical power, but also a chess fan.
Every time he met an opponent, even for the next three days and three nights, he would not be able to get enough of it.
When Rong San heard that the emperor had left his father to play chess with the Heavenly Master in the palace, he felt a little anxious.
His mother-in-law lost weight again yesterday. She was almost as thin as a human and fell into a coma.
If this continues, I'm afraid...
Rong San was scared, so he thought about going to Anjun Prince's Mansion to ask Chu Yu to come and treat his mother and concubine.
Among the doctors in the capital, including the imperial physician, except for Doctor Bai, only Chu Yu could save his mother and concubine.
However, Chu Yu is the eldest concubine of Prince Anjun's palace. She has a distinguished status and is not a doctor in a pharmacy on the street. She can be invited out at will.
Putting aside the hatred between him and Chu Yu, at this moment, Prince An's palace was holding a funeral, and I was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave either.
Rong thought twice about this and retracted his feet that he wanted to take a step out.
He doesn’t want to beg Xia Zihan, let alone owe Xia Zihan a favor, but if his mother-in-law’s illness gets worse, she’s afraid...
Rong San was extremely anxious and worried. Finally, after burning incense for a while, Rong San figured it out.
You can't ignore the life and death of his mother and concubine just to avoid meeting Xia Zihan.
Regardless of whether Xia Zihan would see him or not, and whether he would agree to treat his mother and concubine, he had to give it a try. After thinking about this for a second time, Rong ran back to his room, changed his clothes, and flew to Prince Anjun's Mansion on horseback.
"Master, Crown Prince Rong is here, please see me outside the gate."
Chu Cong walked quietly behind Xia Zihan and quietly reported the report.
Xia Zihan was burning paper money for Mrs. Chu. When she heard this, her hand movements stopped, and the fire that was about to finish burning the paper money was about to touch her fingers. Chu Cong saw it with sharp eyes and shouted hurriedly, "Careful, Master."
"Hiss...it hurts..." Xia Zihan let out a soft cry and threw the half-burned paper money into the iron basin where the paper money was burned.
Chu Cong grabbed her hand and found that three of her fingers were burned red. She blamed herself very much and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't report to you about Crown Prince Rong at this time."< br>
"It's not your fault, it's my fault." Xia Zihan stood up and retracted his hand, "Just go back and apply some ointment."
"This slave will go back to Yuqiong Garden to get it." Chu Cong said.
Chu Cong left without waiting for Xia Zihan's consent.
By the time Chu Cong came with the ointment, Prince Rong had been waiting at the gate of Prince An's Mansion for almost an hour.
Really unable to wait any longer, Crown Prince Rong jumped off his horse and rushed into Prince An's Mansion.
Because it was a funeral, the gate of Anjun Prince's Mansion was not closed. There were only a few small guards guarding the gate, guarding it perfectly.
Rong San's lightness skill was so good that he flew directly over the heads of several small guards.
After the guards arrived, Rong San flew to the mourning hall early to find Xia Zihan.
"Master, Crown Prince Rong is here. He's right outside the door. He said he wants to see you." Chu Cong wiped a handful of cold sweat and sweated for Crown Prince Rong who dared to come looking for someone.
Everyone came in, but they came here specifically to find her. Xia Zihan felt a headache as she stroked her forehead. She told Chu Cong, "Take them to the Champs Elysees. I'll be there in a moment."
"Master, you haven't had breakfast yet." Chu Cong said worriedly.
Xia Zihan got up early this morning and obediently came to burn incense and paper money for Mrs. Chu. She was so busy that she didn't even bother to have breakfast.
"Prepare some snacks for me, and give me a glass of fruit juice." Xia Zihan said. He stood up, patted his clothes and walked away.
The Champs Elysees is a pavilion on the water, surrounded by open space. They were sitting inside and talking, and everyone around them could see them. Xia Zihan chose this place to meet Rong San to avoid suspicion.
Rong San waited for another cup of tea before finally seeing Xia Zihan.
Seeing that she was wearing mourning clothes, Rong San didn't know how to open her mouth.
"Prince Rong, you're fine." Xia Zihan walked into the pavilion and sat across from Rong San.
Chu Qingqing and Qiao hurriedly placed the four plates of snacks and a pot of fruit juice they had brought to them. After placing them, they quietly retreated to the side to wait.
Chu Cong stood steadily behind Xia Zihan like a wooden man.
Rong San glanced at her and did not let Xia Zihan send her away. He said to Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu must have heard about my mother and concubine."
He didn't beat around the bush, he opened the window and said frankly, "My mother's illness was treated by a doctor from Baozhitang on the street, and a lot of medicinal soups were prescribed. However, not only did my mother's illness not show any improvement, It is getting worse and worse, and now, people are dying
The next update will be added tomorrow, don’t wait any longer,
