The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

At around 1 a.m. the next day, all the ministers were already waiting outside the palace gate.

Little did they know that the palace gate had not yet opened, and the time for the morning court session was approaching. If they did not go to the Golden Palace, the emperor would have to wait for them.

But how could they dare to let the emperor wait?

As a result, all the ministers became anxious, not knowing what had happened in the palace and why the palace gates were not opened at this time?

How dare those imperial guards guarding the palace gates! ?

It happened that at this moment, Xie Xi had just got off the carriage.

Seeing that the ministers all looked grim and seemed to be in a hurry, Xie Xi's eyes moved slightly. He looked up and instantly knew why they were so anxious.

"His Royal Highness!"

As soon as they saw the figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ministers suddenly felt as if they had found a backbone. They all rushed towards Xie Xi and surrounded him in an instant.

The elderly Tang Yushi showed a worried look on his face and was the first to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, the palace gates have not been opened today. This... I cannot go in to attend the morning court, and I dare not let His Majesty wait in the Golden Throne Hall. I wonder if Your Highness has any way to get the guards inside to open the palace gates?"

Xie Xi shook his head thoughtfully: "I don't have any other options."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers standing beside him showed expressions of disappointment.

Censor Tang frowned, sighed, and said nothing more.

In his opinion, if even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not handle the matter, then naturally they, the court officials, could not have the power to make the palace guards obey their orders.

However, Censor Tang was still worried about what would happen in the palace.

After all, it had only been a short time since Prince Su and the Fourth Prince planned to rebel. Now the people of Li Kingdom were living a stable life without war, and Censor Tang did not want to see any more incidents.

All the ministers were talking about it. They originally wanted to send someone to inquire about the news, but they didn't know where to go.

After a while, Xie Xi finally spoke to comfort everyone: "Ministers, don't panic. I'm afraid that my father will not attend the morning court today. As for the palace gate not opening, maybe something has delayed him."

"I wonder if Your Highness has heard any rumors?"

"If the court is adjourned today, why didn't we hear His Majesty's orders yesterday?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has always been cautious. For more than ten years, Your Majesty has never stopped attending court without reason. This, I am really worried about Your Majesty!"

"..."

The ministers were talking at once, but Xie Xi was still standing there. His face was gentle and his tone was calm as he said, "Yesterday at twilight hour, I went to the palace to see my father. At that time, my father was dining with my mother in Feng'an Palace. I didn't see any discomfort in my father's body."

"On the contrary, Father is in a good mood. I think that the reason why Father stopped attending court today might be because I went to the palace yesterday to give Father and Mother a surprise."

surprise?

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without them having to ask, Xie Xi said straightforwardly: "As for what the surprise is, you don't have to tell me. I'm sure you will know it soon."

Before he finished speaking, the palace gate was suddenly opened.

The first person to appear in front of everyone was the leader of the imperial guards, and the one who stepped behind was Eunuch You.

Eunuch You came here at this time, he must be here to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

A gleam of understanding flashed across Xie Xi's eyes. It was just as he thought. His father had adjourned the court today because of his biological sister who had just been found.

Imperial Censor Tang stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch You, it's already morning. I wonder if today's morning court will be..."

"Don't worry, Master Tang."

Eunuch You smiled and said, "This is exactly why I came here."

After hearing this, Censor Tang temporarily suppressed his anxiety and stared at Eunuch You in silence.

Seeing this, the other ministers did not speak, but stared at Eunuch You, waiting for him to tell the emperor's instructions.

Facing so many puzzled looks, Eunuch You remained calm and not nervous at all. "The emperor has important matters to attend to today, so the court will be suspended for the day. Ministers do not need to be anxious. If there is any emergency, you can go to the palace to see the emperor."

I just don’t know whether His Majesty wants to see him.

Thinking of this, Eunuch You didn't show it on his face, but he sighed in his heart. The emperor had been staying in Feng'an Palace yesterday, and even at the time of Mao today, the emperor was unwilling to leave and chose to suspend court for a day...

During His Majesty's reign of 18 years, there has never been a time when the court was suspended. Why did it become so strange today?

Eunuch You couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he stopped thinking about it.

After conveying the emperor's intention, seeing that the ministers had no questions, Eunuch You turned around and went back.

After all, the emperor is used to his service, and he can't leave for too long.

After Eunuch You left, Xie Xi did not enter the palace again. Instead, he turned around and got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive towards the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Xi knew in his heart that now that his biological sister had returned, his father had to return the identity that belonged to her.

Moreover, my father would also issue an imperial decree to announce Prince Su's evil ambitions and Xie Jin's true life experience to the world.

As a result, my father was indeed a bit busy, so busy that he even missed the morning court.

Xie Xi shook his head helplessly, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

-

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion.

The butler came forward and was slightly surprised to see His Royal Highness returning at this time. He subconsciously looked up at the sky and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness return home so early?"

Xie Xi bowed his head and rolled up his sleeves, saying as he walked: "I am not attending the morning court today, so I am back. Is there anything going on at your mansion?"

"There's nothing serious going on at home, but..."

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Not long after your highness's carriage left, Master Lu left the house with her maid."

"Ok?"

Xie Xi paused, turned his head and looked at the housekeeper with a surprised expression: "Did she tell you where she was going?"

Xiaoxiao has always loved to stay in bed. She doesn't want to get up until noon every day. Why is she going out so early today?

Is there something urgent happening suddenly?

The housekeeper shook his head: "Master Lu didn't say anything when she went out, nor did she ask anyone to arrange a carriage. She just said she would be back soon."

"Before she left the house, did anyone come here?"

Xie Xi immediately had a guess in his mind.

The housekeeper thought about it carefully, and nodded quickly in response: "Yes, at that time there was indeed a child who ran to the doorman in a hurry, saying that he was looking for Master Lu, and said that he knew Master Lu and His Highness..."

"When the child mentioned His Highness, the concierge did not dare to neglect him, so he went to Jingxiang Courtyard to inform Master Lu."

"Okay, I understand. You can leave first."

Xie Xi was in deep thought.

The child that the housekeeper was talking about is most likely Aji. Aji is anxious to find Xiaoxiao. Could it be that something happened to Grandma Xu?

No matter what, Granny Xu has done the imperial sister a favor. We cannot let Granny Xu get into trouble again when the imperial sister has just recognized her father, the emperor and her mother!

Thinking of this, Xie Xi walked out of the Prince's Mansion and took Mu Qing to the small courtyard where Granny Xu lived.

On the other side, just as Xie Xi expected, Lu Xiaoxiao was indeed in Grandma Xu's small courtyard at this time.

However, this time, the person who came with Lu Xiaoxiao was not Chen Lu, but Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi is decocting medicine in the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Aji were both in Grandma Xu's room. Doctor Dong, who had just come to take Grandma Xu's pulse yesterday, was pulled over again.

In fact, Doctor Dong's clinic had not opened at all, but when Lu Xiaoxiao heard that something had happened to Grandma Xu, she didn't care about anything else and asked Bai Zhi to go forward and knock on the door.

After meeting Doctor Dong, Lu Xiaoxiao directly threw out a silver note worth fifty taels, asking Doctor Dong to agree to follow her.

"Doctor Dong, why did Granny Xu suddenly vomit blood?"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked worried. When she saw Doctor Dong withdraw his hand, she couldn't wait to ask, "Didn't Granny Xu drink the medicine yesterday?"

"Could it be that the prescription is not suitable for Granny Xu's illness?"

This was already a question of Doctor Dong's medical skills, but Doctor Dong did not take it to heart. After thinking for a moment, Doctor Dong said, "I wonder what the old lady ate after taking the medicine yesterday?"

"I just took the old lady's pulse and found that she seemed to be taking medicine from another prescription, which happened to conflict with the prescription I wrote."

"The medicine is too strong. The old lady can't bear it at all."

"I think this is the reason why the old lady vomited blood."

This has nothing to do with his medical skills.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

Lu Xiaoxiao instantly turned her eyes to stare at Aji who was sitting next to her, and leaned over to ask in a low voice: "Aji, did Granny Xu drink any other medicine last night?"

As soon as these words came out, Aji's face immediately showed a look of regret. He nodded and said, "Last night I saw that there was still a packet of medicine that my mother-in-law had taken before. I thought it shouldn't be wasted, so I boiled the previous packet of medicine together with this medicine..."

When he said the last sentence, Aji lowered his head, sniffed, and felt guilty so much that he dared not look at his mother-in-law again. He knew that if Sister Lu had not arrived in time, his mother-in-law would have been killed by him!

"Sister Lu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so ignorant and reluctant to give up the medicine, my mother-in-law wouldn't have vomited blood."

"Sister Lu, tell me, will my mother-in-law be killed by me?"

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head without hesitation: "...No."

"With Doctor Dong here, Doctor Dong has great medical skills and will definitely make Granny Xu better. You are young, so don't let your imagination run wild for now."

Doctor Dong: “…”

Before, you said that the prescription he prescribed was ineffective, but now you know to praise his medical skills?

Doctor Dong suddenly felt helpless. He looked down at Ah Ji who was blaming himself, raised his hand and patted Ah Ji on the head: "Don't worry, I will do my best to make the old lady healthy again."

Ah Ji raised his head, his eyes red: "Is what Doctor Dong said true?"

"Don't lie to children!"

"Of course it's true!"

Doctor Dong added, "But we still need to let the old lady take more supplements. I heard that a medicine shop specializing in medicinal food has opened in Beijing recently. The taste is not bad. I have been there several times. If Miss Lu has time, why not go to the medicine shop to take a look?"

"Among them, there are several medicinal dishes that are suitable for the old lady's illness."

"Medicated diet?"

Lu Xiaoxiao found it a little strange. Doctor Dong's words sounded like an advertisement to her. However, even if it was for Granny Xu, she would find an opportunity to go there.

"Okay, Doctor Dong, I understand. I'll go to the pharmacy after Granny Xu's condition gets better."

What kind of medicinal food could be so highly praised by Dr. Dong?

Doctor Dong left another prescription before leaving.

When Doctor Dong was leaving the house, he was not paying attention for a moment and almost bumped into Bai Zhi who was carrying the medicine.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi reacted quickly and dodged in time, otherwise, she would have been in real trouble.

"Master, the medicine is here."

Bai Zhi stepped over the threshold into the room, holding the medicine and approaching the bed.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay, Baizhi, put it on the table first, and wait until the medicine cools down a little before feeding it to Granny Xu."

Bai Zhi followed her master's instructions and placed the bowl on the table before returning to her master's side. "Master, is there anything else you want me to do?"

"Give me orders..."

Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it, then looked up at Bai Zhi and said, "Bai Zhi, do you know that there is a medicine shop in Beijing that specializes in selling medicinal food?"

"The servant knows."

Now Bai Zhi is getting along well in the Prince's Mansion and has made many young ladies' friends. Even if Bai Zhi doesn't know about the things happening in the capital, someone will tell her about it.

Listening to her master's mention, Bai Zhi actually remembered that a little sister had mentioned to her the best medicinal food in Beijing. It was said that the medicinal food tasted good, but it was very expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.

Two days ago, the younger sister went out of the house to do some business and happened to pass by there.

Originally, they saw that there were quite a few customers in the medicine shop, almost full. The sisters had wanted to go in and try the medicinal food there to see what it tasted like, but when they heard the waiter talking about the price of each dish, they were so scared that they got up and ran out immediately.

A common medicinal dish costs ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver. You have to know that those of them who work as maids in the prince's mansion, although it seems glamorous, only get two taels of monthly salary.

She couldn't afford such expensive medicinal food.

Bai Zhi: "Master, do you want to try that restaurant's medicinal food?"

Lu Xiaoxiao hummed and instructed, "Baizhi, go over there. Granny Xu is in a very poor health and wants to use some medicinal food to replenish her health. Go ask the owner of the medicine shop what kind of medicinal food she should take in this situation."

"Well, I want two servings of medicinal food."

Bai Zhi nodded and replied, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Go ahead."

Bai Zhi turned and left.

Little did she know that as soon as she came out of the room and crossed the path, she heard someone knocking on the gate.

Bai Zhi walked over quickly and stood in front of the gate, but did not open it directly. She shouted loudly, "Who?"

"Miss Baizhi, the Crown Prince is here."

Hearing the voice, Bai Zhi immediately recognized the person, "Guard Mu Qing?"

Having said that, Bai Zhi quickly opened the gate and immediately saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Guard Mu Qing standing at the door.

Bai Zhi knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Xie Xi frowned, glanced behind Bai Zhi, raised his hand to signal her to get up: "Where is your master?"
