Chapter 255: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 01
From Prince Guo's mansion, a long and melodious flute sound was heard.
In a small pavilion in the center of a pond, a young man in white was playing the flute, but his eyes were staring at the lotus flowers in the pond with a lifeless look.
After the dance, Prince Guo looked at the flute in his hand and handed it to the servant standing not far behind him.
"Ah Jin, take my flute away."
A Jin quickly ran from the corridor to Prince Guo and respectfully took it from his hands with both hands.
After taking the flute, A Jin hesitated for a while and said to Prince Guo: "Master, do you really want to destroy this flute? This is your most precious thing."
Prince Guo did not look back, but stared at the lotus flowers in the pond.
After a few breaths, he sighed and said, "Forget it, just put it in the warehouse."
A Jin's face lit up with joy, knowing that his grandfather had changed his mind.
He quickly put away the flute, said goodbye to Prince Guo, turned around and ran to put the flute in Prince Guo's warehouse.
When A Jin came back, Prince Guo was still standing there, his eyes fixed on the lotus flowers in the pond.
Ah Jin looked at Prince Guo in a daze with some confusion. Two days ago, Prince Guo's whole temperament had changed after he recovered from his cold and woke up.
The prince who used to be free and easy became dull and unhappy. From time to time he would stare into the distance and remain motionless for a long time. He had almost become accustomed to this situation today.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a maid waving to him gently at the corner of the corridor in the distance. A Jin glanced at Prince Guo, then looked up at the sky.
"Master..."
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, A Jin couldn't help but step forward to call Prince Guo back to his senses.
"Ok?"
Prince Guo came to his senses and looked at A Jin.
Ah Jin lowered his head slightly and replied, "Lunch time is almost here, Master, shall we go have lunch first?"
Prince Guo looked up at the sky and found that he had been in this place for the whole morning.
He stretched his legs, which were a little sore from standing, and turned back, saying to Jin as he walked, "Let's go have lunch first."
"Yes." A Jin followed Prince Guo and waved to the maid at the corner. The maid's face lit up and she immediately turned around and ran away.
When Prince Guo arrived at the dining room, the food was already on the table.
After having lunch, Prince Guo was taking a walk in the garden. At this time, the steward from the gatehouse came to report to Prince Guo that someone from the palace had come and said that the Empress Dowager missed the Seventeenth Master and asked him to come to the palace.
When Prince Guo first heard that he was going to enter the palace, he felt a little reluctant.
But if he thought about it carefully, now was not the time for him to turn against his brother.
The emperor today still treats him as his own brother.
He was silent for a while, then asked the steward to tell the people from the palace that he would pack up and leave.
Then he told Ah Jin, "Go and get the round fan I got a few days ago. I will take it to the palace to give to the Queen Mother."
Ah Jin bowed and replied, "Master, don't worry, I have prepared everything and will send it to the car later."
"Yeah." Prince Guo nodded and went back to his room to change clothes.
In Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Yunli, whose face was still a little pale, and asked with some concern: "You have recovered from the cold, why do you still look so ugly? Zhuxi, go call the imperial physician and tell him that I am not feeling well."
Zhu Xi quickly responded and stepped out, asking someone to find the imperial physician.
After going out and giving some instructions to his subordinates, Zhuxi returned to serve the empress dowager.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Prince Guo say to the Queen Mother, "Mother, there is no need to be like this. The child is already in good health."
The Queen Mother disagreed and said, "If you are well, why do you still look so bad? You should ask the imperial physician to take a look so that I can rest assured."
Prince Guo agreed reluctantly and sat aside, waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.
The Queen Mother saw that Prince Guo was sitting there in silence, unlike before when he would tell her funny stories. She looked at Prince Guo with some confusion. Zhu Xi had been with the Queen Mother for so many years, so naturally, like the Queen Mother, she could see that Prince Guo was absent-minded.
After the Queen Mother and Zhu Xi noticed something was wrong with Prince Guo, they looked at each other.
The Queen Mother signaled Zhuxi to go out and find A Jin to ask about Prince Guo's recent situation.
Zhuxi understood and quietly retreated.
After a while, several footsteps were heard outside the palace, and the imperial physician and Zhuxi came in at the same time. The imperial physician seemed to be out of breath. He came to the Cining Palace and tried hard to calm his breathing so that he could quickly check the empress dowager's pulse.
I didn't expect that when I came in, I saw that the queen mother's face was ruddy and she didn't look unwell. I was a little confused. What's going on? Isn't it to check the queen mother's pulse?
His gaze lingered on Prince Guo for a moment, and the imperial physician thought, "Could it be that he is checking Prince Guo's pulse?"
Before the imperial physician could kneel down and salute, several footsteps were heard outside. At the same time, the eunuchs' singing was heard outside.
"The Emperor is here! The Queen is here!"
The sound of steady footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Prince Guo's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
He watched the empress dowager stand up, and he quickly stood up and came to her side, with Zhu Xi and he each supporting one of them.
When the bright yellow dragon robe came into view, Prince Guo quickly lowered his head and half-bowed to the emperor and the queen.
"My brother has met the emperor's brother and the emperor's sister-in-law."
Yongzheng was worried about the empress dowager's health, so he quickly stepped forward to ask Yunli to excuse himself from the formalities and said to the empress dowager, "Your son greets the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, I heard that you were not feeling well, so your son came to see you."
The Queen at the side also asked with concern: "Yes, Queen Mother, are you feeling unwell due to the hot weather?"
The emperor also thought that the hot summer was approaching, and wondered whether he should advance the time to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.
The Queen Mother looked at the filial emperor and queen with relief and said, "What can I do? I saw that your seventeenth brother looked unwell, so I called the imperial physician to take a look. Otherwise, I would be worried."
Everyone's eyes fell on Yunli, and Yunli became the object of everyone's attention.
Yongzheng was relieved to hear that the Empress Dowager was fine. Then he heard that his Seventeenth Brother was unwell, so he turned his attention to Yunli and asked with concern, "Could it be that your Seventeenth Brother is not fully recovered from his illness?"
Yongzheng knew that the reason why Yunli had not come to the palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager in the past few days was that he had caught a cold.
He also asked someone to verify the situation.
At this time, Yongzheng looked at Yunli. Although Yunli lowered his head slightly, Yongzheng still saw that something was wrong with Yunli's expression, as well as the subtle sense of decadence around Yunli.
Yongzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what had happened to Yunli during the past few days since he last saw him, which caused him to show such a depressed look.
Yunli felt Yongzheng's gaze, took a deep breath in his heart, raised his head, looked at Yongzheng, put on a smile, and tried to treat Yongzheng with the same attitude as usual, and said to Yongzheng casually: "Brother, don't listen to what the Empress Dowager said. This minister's health is not that serious. I just have a poor appetite after catching a cold."
Yongzheng nodded and said to Yunli, "In this case, you should listen to the Empress Dowager and let the imperial physician take a look. Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."
Yunli: "Yes, I will listen to the Empress Dowager and my brother."
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother asked the imperial physician to take Yunli's pulse.
