Chapter 406 Prince VS Little Brother 6
After everyone in the house had left, Fu Nanzhan's guards tiptoed in to help their prince wash up.
At the same time, the brothers and sisters surrounded Xiao Yubai. After checking him, they found some scratches on his body. They left some ointment and left without saying a word.
Xiao Yubai was helped into the bathtub. The hot water covered his body, but it couldn't warm his cold heart.
He curled up alone in the bucket, tears bursting out again, rolling down in big drops, splashing tiny circles of water.
The grievance spread wildly in his heart like a vine, growing wantonly. He was filled with sorrow: Who would suffer such a crime and do such a thing as a boy from a good family?
After washing up, Xiao Yubai returned to his bedroom in the palace with light steps as if he was walking on cotton.
The room was silent, the flickering candlelight stretched out his lonely figure.
At this moment, he looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot. He was already hungry and exhausted, and after experiencing such an unspeakable ordeal, he was exhausted both physically and mentally to the extreme.
He fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep before he could even pull up the quilt.
This sleep was like falling into an endless quagmire. Xiao Yubai was unconsciously trapped in a chaotic dream, allowing the high fever to sweep through his body.
Time passed quietly, and he slept until the afternoon of the next day.
When the maids and servants in the palace saw that the prince had not yet gotten up, they initially thought that he was just tired and did not take it too seriously. However, as the temperature in the house became increasingly hot, Xiao Yubai's face turned frighteningly red and her breathing became rapid, so they panicked and hurried to call the imperial physician.
The imperial physician came hurriedly, took the patient's pulse, checked the tongue coating, and frowned like the character "川". After a diagnosis, he quickly prescribed medicine.
I drank bowl after bowl of medicinal soup. Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time and the fever gradually subsided.
Before leaving, the imperial physician warned with lingering fear: "If you were half a day later, the prince's body might not be able to hold on, and his life would be in danger." Everyone was terrified.
Because of this sudden serious illness, the day of going to the palace to express gratitude was delayed.
It was five full days later that Xiao Yubai, having recovered from his illness, finally stepped into the palace.
In the magnificent hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, and the memorial in his hand was squeezed so hard that it made a "creaking" sound - it turned out that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion's conspiracy to replace the original with the fake and to change the marriage against the emperor's order was completely exposed at this moment.
"How audacious! How dare the Yong'an Marquisate treat my decree as a joke!" The emperor slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily.
He immediately ordered the troops to surround the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and the order to confiscate the property and execute the marquis was issued.
At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor, dressed in a plain white robe and holding a whisk, stepped forward gracefully, bowed, and spoke in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, this boy is indeed the third son of the Yong'an Marquisate, and he is a match made in heaven for the prince."
This imperial teacher, who looks like an immortal and is otherworldly, is usually highly respected, but in fact he is a big liar who enriches himself.
A few days ago, I just received a heavy amount of silver from the Marquis's Mansion, so how could I watch the entire Marquis's Mansion being slaughtered? Naturally, I had to use clever words to protect them.
The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes looking back and forth between the Imperial Preceptor and Xiao Yubai. After a moment's hesitation, he suppressed his anger and said, "Since the Imperial Preceptor says so, I will issue a new decree to grant my uncle a marriage."
After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling the Imperial Master to withdraw. Turning to look at Xiao Yubai, his expression eased slightly, and he gently told him to take good care of Fu Nanzhan before letting him return to the palace.
As for returning to his parents' home, Xiao Yubai was full of resistance. That so-called "home" was full of indifference and calculation. It was the nightmare place he desperately wanted to escape from. Now that he had escaped, how could he take the initiative to go back?
On the other side, although Fu Nanzhan was lying on the couch and unable to move, he was very conscious.
I listened to the guards talking about what happened in the capital today, what happened after Xiao Yubai entered the palace, etc.
He sneered at the behavior of the national teacher in his heart and gritted his teeth secretly: You are a liar. When I regain my ability to move, the first thing I will do is chop off your head and see how you can continue to cheat!
After Xiao Yubai recovered from his illness, life in the palace was still not peaceful.
According to the rules, he started to sleep with Fu Nanzhan every two days.
After more than ten times, Fu Nanzhan was full of helplessness. His wife seemed to have made no progress and was still clumsy and immature.
Whenever the critical moment comes, I am still in a panic and can't get to the point.
In the month since Xiao Yubai entered the mansion, most of the servants in the mansion have adopted a wait-and-see attitude and are neither cold nor enthusiastic about him.
The food he ate was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his rations were occasionally withheld.
Xiao Yubai was a patient person by nature and never made a fuss. Only occasionally, when he was sleeping with Fu Nanzhan, he would whisper a few words in a low voice, thinking that Fu Nanzhan was unconscious and couldn't hear him.
Fu Nanzhan listened to every word of these complaints, and anger grew in his heart. How could I allow you to humiliate my wife like this!
Those maids kept checking Xiao Yubai's body, and Fu Nanzhan felt that they had bad intentions, as if they were taking advantage of his wife, which was simply unforgivable.
