C41 (1/2)
On the second day, when Ru Yi got up on time and the court was dismissed, Emperor Qing He asked, ”Does your head hurt?”
Ru Yi shook her head and thought, actually, drinking it wasn't that uncomfortable. It was just that her brain was a bit dizzy and lazy, and she didn't want to think about it. She just wanted to sleep.
Tutor Qian had already heard of it and looked at her in disapproval. She could only rub her nose and follow the Tutor to study at the back. Xu Lin and the rest were already waiting at the study door. They sized her up when they saw her. Currently, there were less than five students attending school with Ru Yi, including Xu Lin, Che Yi, Zhu Siqi, and Chen Ah Zhe. As for the others who were willing to join the various divisions of the Eastern Palace, Senior Servant Lin had arranged all of them. There were no problems with the reading partner wanting to return home. Of course, all of this was thanks to His Majesty's love for him.
Ru Yi's personality was a bit cold. Amongst her reading companions, she had gotten along best with Xu Lin, mostly because Xu Lin was extremely dependent on her. As time passed, Xu Lin unconsciously paid extra attention to her. Seeing that Xu Lin was always looking at her, Ru Yi whispered to her, ”Let's have lunch together.”
Xu Lin stole a glance at the Imperial Tutor and nodded.
After lunch, Ru Yi picked up what she could say and Xu Lin did. Xu Lin listened and asked, ”What's so good about her?” Is it Viper of Venom Snake? ”
Ru Yi rolled her eyes. Xu Lin was not convinced. ”I think he just had bad intentions.”
As they were talking, Minister Shi of Rites came. Xu Lin quickly evaded. Professor Shi was still worried about the living quarters of Prince Jiang Liu.
Ru Yi asked the purpose of his visit and said, ”There is a government office on Yongan Street which is currently empty. What does Shang Shu think of it?”
They had originally chosen a few places, but now they were only looking for a princess. Professor Shi was a good person, ”Very good, that place is very close to the university, the Sixth Prince's study is extremely convenient.” There was a dorm room in the university, but servants were not allowed there. The Sixth Prince was a VIP guest (a thousand horses), so it was just right to live in a government office two streets away from the university.
”If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Minister. Please follow the rules.” Li Qing's legs were green and purple from kneeling, while Lin mama's clothes were slightly thicker. Ru Yi felt that she had treated the Sixth Prince very well already, and it definitely wasn't because she was angry.
Professor Shi said a few more words about the regulation and arrangement of the official residence. After all, no protons had been received in a long time. Not in the late emperor's era, not even the late emperor's.
On this trip to Yan Country, Jiang Mubai only brought his personal attendant, Ah Xun, and his mother's eunuch, Ah Wang. As for the others, they were spies planted by father and brothers.
Jiang Muli returned to the inn and welcomed him. A small frown appeared on his face as he smelled the alcohol on Jiang Muli's body. She had a round baby face, so her frown didn't make anyone feel disgusted. He told Ah Xun to get on good terms with the people in the inn and asked about the princess' hobbies.
”In reply to Mistress, although the Lady has gone to court, she does not speak much. Even after she has gone to court, she has not left the palace to study. When the people at the inn talk about her, they all say that she is the queen of the Yan Kingdom, but no one can say anything about her preferences.”
Jiang Muli's face turned red from the alcohol, and he became even more clear-headed. Jiang Muli looked at Jiang Muli and said, ”Put it down, I need to calm down.”
A-Xun bit his lip and retreated with him.
Jiang Muli stood at the window, looking out at the starry sky. He was actually a little happy. Since he couldn't find out what his daughter's hobby was, he would find it himself.
Just as Minister Shi of the Eastern Palace left, people rushed over to report at the inn. Prince Jiang had drank too much yesterday and still hadn't woken up yet, so the people waiting on him were still in a daze. The people in the inn were also scared, because the princess had given them instructions previously, so they hurried over to the East Palace.
Ru Yi stood up and hurried out, giving instructions as she walked, ”Go to the Imperial Physician Fang at the Imperial Physician Courtyard.”
Xu Lin had no time to stop him, so she could only say to Red Bamboo, ”His Highness's cloak.” Red Bamboo's face reddened as he hugged his cloak and chased after her.
Although Li Qing was raised on a bed, she had already arranged everything that needed to be arranged. Ru Yi nodded her head, and the young eunuch hurriedly followed her, whispering as they walked, ”Yesterday, Sixth Prince Hao just entered the inn, and at that time his attendant sent over the sobering soup, and the Sixth Prince soon rested for a while. Today, he called for someone at his side, and at noon, someone took the initiative to find the manager of the inn …”
There was a secret recipe passed down by the Fang Family's Imperial Physician, Jieyu. He had done his research on coma and other symptoms. When Ru Yi entered the room, Imperial Physician Fang was taking the sixth prince's pulse.
Lifting her hand to prevent the people inside from bowing, she walked over to look at Jiang Liu. Seeing that his complexion was rosy and he seemed to be in a deep sleep, she heaved a sigh of relief. His complexion was at least better than bluish purple and pale.
”What about the Sixth Prince?” He whispered to the imperial physician.
”Your Highness, the sixth prince's pulse is normal, heavy and powerful. It seems like he's fallen asleep …” After that, he looked at Ru Yi carefully. ”Some people can sleep for a day and a night when they're drunk …”
Ru Yi walked back to the bed and looked down at Jiang Muli. ”Have you tried to call him?”
Ah Xun felt somewhat terrified, hurriedly kneeling down and replying, ”Reporting to Your Highness, our master is angry from getting up, so we do not dare to call him.” After saying that, his eyes turned red.
