Chapter 680 Or Am I Just Worth Those Two Bunches of Candied Haws?
The next day, early in the morning.
The maids and servants of the Seventh Prince's Mansion stood under the corridor and whispered.
When Li Jun came, it was the steward who led him outside the main hall. After waiting for a long time, Li Jun didn't see Rong Su come out, so he asked the steward.
The housekeeper hesitated and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Your Majesty is not feeling well today. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Mr. Li to wait a little longer."
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Did you call the imperial doctor?"
The butler waved his hand: "That's not true. Your Majesty, this is...a minor problem. It just takes some time. It's not a serious illness."
Li Jun became more and more confused as he listened.
After the housekeeper fled, Li Jun wandered outside the main hall. He happened to hear a servant passing by and secretly talking: "Is the prince still in the clean room? How long have you been in there? Why haven't you come out yet?"
"I came out and went in again. I made seven or eight trips in the morning."
"I must have eaten something wrong. Why did I suddenly feel upset?"
"I don't know, but the palace has ordered me not to invite the royal doctor. I'm afraid I might feel... well, I'm sorry."
"But there is no way to keep making trouble like this. My stomach can bear it, but my legs can't bear it. There are also several concubines and concubines. When they heard that the prince was ill, they came to take care of him one after another. However, the prince became angry and twisted them all. When we went back, the two people who came earlier were scolded by the prince."
"Isn't that right? Who likes to have someone blocking their way when they are rushing to clean the room, with a lot of nagging?"
The two servants walked away while talking, and soon they were far away.
After hearing this, Li Jun rubbed his chin and thought, why did he get upset so easily? Stop the cold? If this is the case, it would be more appropriate to ask an imperial doctor to take a look!
Li Jun was just thinking when he saw the housekeeper coming back. When he saw Li Jun, he said respectfully: "Master Li, please go to the front yard to meet me."
Li Jun nodded and let the housekeeper lead the way.
Arriving in front of Rong Su's bedroom, Li Jun saw from a distance that the entrance to the courtyard was full of people.
After all, Li Jun was a foreigner. Although he was invited in by the prince, it was not good after all, so he lowered his head all the way to avoid looking at the prince's concubines.
The female relatives were also scrupulous, and they ducked sideways and let the maids block them. It was not until Li Jun walked away that they came out again and continued to look inside.
Li Jun entered the inner room and saw Rong Su, who was still energetic and refreshed yesterday. Now his face was pale and his lips were dry, sitting on a mahogany armchair. His slender fingers were resting on the armrests of the chair, holding a cup emptyly. Hot tea.
"Your Highness?" Li Jun was a little surprised. Why did he look so serious if he just had a stomachache?
Rong Su waved his hand to Li Jun and motioned for him to sit down.
Li Jun found a chair and sat down, and asked: "What happened? Why did you suddenly feel unwell?"
"It's okay." Rong Su said casually. He happened to raise his head and saw two sneaky little figures outside the door. He really looked inside.
Rong Su's face darkened and he called, "Come in."
The two little girls holding on to the door frame hesitated for a moment. You looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, they grabbed each other's little hands and walked in slowly.
"What are you doing?" Rong Su asked.
The eldest girl was very afraid of the Seventh Young Master, so she shrank her neck and hid behind her sister without saying a word.
The little girl was pushed out, knowing that she couldn't back down, so she could only bite the bullet and call it real: "Yes, there are two girls who gave us two candied haws, let, let us..."
Rong Su's voice turned cold: "What do I want you to do?"
The little girl stared at the serious face of the prince, her little lips trembled, she was very scared, she took a few steps back, and then she said awkwardly: "Let us... tell the Seventh Young Master that if you are not feeling well, you need someone to take care of you. , their master has volunteered to serve, and is just outside the door, waiting for the Seventh Young Master to summon him..."
Li Jun wanted to laugh after hearing this. The prince's concubines were really ignorant. They insisted on getting in touch with the prince when he was not happy, and even used candied haws to buy the maids in the prince's room.
Don’t you know, the concubines, that this has crossed the prince’s bottom line?
Li Jun sat leisurely, waiting for the prince to express his position.
And sure enough, the prince's expression immediately turned even more ugly. He stared at the two little girls in front of him, and his voice was so cold that it almost froze: "Just two bunches of candied haws, did you win over?"
The older girl and the younger girl could hear the displeasure in Rong Su's tone, and they all buried their heads, not daring to speak.
"Or am I just worth those two bunches of candied haws?" Rong Su suddenly changed the topic, but his voice became even colder.
So it was quiet for a moment.
Finally, it was Li Jun who spoke up and broke the silence: "They are just two outside girls. What kind of knowledge do they have? But why does the prince still keep these two girls?"
These two little maids were obtained from Yan Pei, Li Jun still remembered.
It's just that Li Jun thought that after so many days, the Yan family had already taken them back, so how come the two girls were still in the palace without making any noise.
Li Jun didn't know that Yan's Mansion and Yu Wen's Mansion actually sent someone to take them over, but the Seventh Prince refused to let them go. The people who sent the message to the two families were escorted by the prince's guards before they could see the two girls. The court kicked him out.
Rong Su didn't speak. He just looked at the two girls and said in a serious tone, "Speak!"
The two girls raised their heads and looked at Rong Su in fear, with uneasy expressions on their faces. Finally, it was the little girl who asked tremblingly: "Say...what did you say?"
Rong Su narrowed his eyes.
The little girl hurriedly held her head and hid behind her sister, shouting: "We don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore."
The big girl also hurriedly echoed: "We... we don't eat candied haws, we won't eat it anymore..."
When the little girl heard this, she was stunned for a long time, and then secretly pushed her sister. How could she say that she would never eat candied haws in the future? If she could no longer eat candied haws, then what's the point of living...
Rong Su saw the little moves of the two girls. He was about to say something when his eyes suddenly caught sight of the small porcelain bottle on the girl's waist. Thinking of the pill he took last night, he lowered his face and asked: "what is that?"
The older girl paused for a moment, looked down at her medicine bottle, raised it and asked, "This?"
"What is it?"
The girl said honestly: "It's my medicine."
Rong Su glanced at the girl uncertainly and asked, "What kind of medicine?"
The eldest girl said obediently: "Young master Liu gave this to me. Because we were walking on the road a while ago, the food and accommodation were inevitably sloppy. I had worms in my stomach a while ago, and my master gave me these to kill the worms."
It is normal for children to get roundworms in their stomachs after eating unclean things. If you kill the worms, you will be fine.
But as we all know in Qingyun Dynasty, insecticides have a side effect.
That is - diarrhea.
Rong Su's expression was very subtle.
Sure enough, he was still careless.
I was only sure that this little girl would not poison me, but I forgot to worry about it. Can I eat the food given by the child?
So, half an hour later, the older girl and the younger girl appeared in the small ancestral hall of the palace. They were punished to clean the ancestral hall for half a month.
