A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1110 Mei Niang
Women's eighteenth transformation,
Er Niang has really changed a lot. When we first met, she was much younger than Wu Liuer and the others now. She was innocent and cute. She liked to sit on Wu Huaiyu's lap and call her brother for gifts.

In the blink of an eye, it has been several years since I entered the palace.

Compared to the niece Han Yingsu next to her, whose eyes were full of happiness and contentment, and her eyes were full of the prince and the two sons of the prince, Wu Erniang was very different.

She looks so delicate and elegant, tall, young and beautiful. She wears a high-waisted skirt, a half-arm cover, and a yellow shawl, just like a fairy.

She was smiling all over her face, but it made people feel that her smile seemed a little distant.

"I've been feeling a little sleepy lately, and I'm not feeling well. I'd like to ask my brother for help."

"it is good."

Wu Huaiyu and Er Niang came outside the corridor.

A pomegranate tree with excellent growth and luxuriant branches. There are stone tables and benches under the pavilion.

Wu Erniang stretched out her wrists, and Huaiyu put her hands on them to feel her pulse.

"You are in good health. You may get sleepy easily in the spring. Just do some exercise and get a reasonable rest."

Wu Huaiyu retracted his finger,
Wu Erniang did not withdraw her wrist. She glanced at the prince who was playing with the brothers of the Han family in the corridor.

His eyes were filled with envy and longing.

Now in the East Palace, not only the Crown Princess is barren, but the Crown Prince Liangdi and Wu Erniang, who is second in rank to her, are also barren. She was too young when she first entered the palace, so the Queen took her with her and taught her some etiquette and rules.
After the queen's death, she returned to the East Palace, but the prince had to observe mourning for his mother for three years, which Wu could understand.

But three years later, there is still no movement.

"Brother, does the prince hate me?"

"how you said that?"

Wu Erniang lowered her head and sighed softly, feeling very helpless and weak, "Brother, I don't know. I have been in the palace for several years, but until now, I have not officially consummated my marriage with the prince.

How can we have children if we don't even sleep in the same bed?

The prince now calls the princess to bed every day, but for me..."

Wu Erniang couldn't speak anymore. She still couldn't figure out why.

When he was still young, the prince would not marry her unless she was the prince, and he even got into trouble with the saint. In the end, although he married Su as the prince's concubine, he still designated her as the prince Liangdi.
But why didn't the prince consummate the marriage with her now that she was in the East Palace?

Wu Huaiyu was also a little surprised.

If Wu Meiniang didn't say anything about this, how would outsiders know? Even if she calls him brother, he is still a clan brother. It is also because he was close to the warrior Xun in the past. Wu Huaiyu has also doted on Wu Mei since she was a child. The two families have intentional Being close, that's what it is,

"I think the prince was very kind to you just now?"

"It's quite good. Whether in front of outsiders or in private, he treats me very well, and he keeps getting various rewards. However, if the prince is really good to me, how could he not consummate his marriage with me yet?"

"I used to say that I was too young when I entered the palace, and later I had to observe filial piety because of Empress Wende's great conduct. But now, let alone twenty-seven months, it is already thirty-six months."

Speaking of this, Wu Mei's eyes were a little unwilling, and her voice even increased involuntarily.

The prince brother was not like this before.

Why is this happening now.

"Have you ever asked His Highness about this matter?"

"How can I, a woman, ask you about this kind of thing?" Wu Meiniang felt aggrieved. She felt that she was not bad in any aspect, and was even excellent, but now she was treated so coldly.

"I am already seventeen this year and will be eighteen soon. It has been several years since I entered the palace..."

Wu Mei is about to become a resentful woman.

She is more resentful than a resentful woman, and she has never consummated her marriage.

Now every time she sees her niece, Han Yingsu, who has given birth to two sons, she can't help but feel envious, and even becomes more and more jealous.
Can't sleep at night,

Can't eat well.

Even menstruation is irregular.

Wu Huaiyu also couldn't understand what the prince was thinking and why he treated Wu Meiniang like this.

"You should adjust your work, rest and diet first. You are still young and are not in a hurry. The prince has been observing mourning for Queen Wende for three years and has wasted several years. That is just a special situation."

"I'll give you a prescription, some medicinal food and sleeping tea, you can use it first."

Wu Erniang nodded and burst into tears, looking very helpless and pitiful.

"Don't be sad."

"I just feel that living in the palace in the past few years has been so pitiful and depressing. I have to be careful everywhere and be alert day and night. I thought it would get better in the future. After all, I am marrying the prince, and his highness the prince likes me. I will marry If I find someone who I like and who also likes me, I will definitely be happy in the future.

But now that I’m like this, I’m so sad...”

Wu Huaiyu wanted to hold her in his arms, caress her back and comfort her.
But thinking that this was the East Palace and she was the Crown Prince Liangdi, and that they were not brothers after all, I could only say a few words of comfort in the end.

Wu Erniang quickly wiped away her tears, adjusted her mentality, and restored a smile on her face.
They returned to the prince.

"How is Liangdi's health?"

"It's just a little thing," Wu Huaiyu said to the prince.

The two little princes were both over four years old. They called Wu Huaiyu uncle, their tiger heads and heads were very lively. Wu Huaiyu looked at Wu Erniang out of the corner of her eye, as if she was telepathic. Sure enough, she was full of envy under her forced smile, and even felt a sense of loneliness. .

Wu Huaiyu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He has always had complicated feelings towards this niece who he watched grow up. He hopes that she can live a good life, but he is also afraid that she will develop as she did in history after entering the palace.

Afraid that she would lead the Wu family into the abyss.

It was even because of her that Wu Huaiyu planned an escape route to Luzon in the South China Sea early. But at this moment, he felt pity for her.

"Your Majesty, I have a few words that I would like to say alone."

Cheng Qian put down his son, turned around and entered the hall with Huai Yu.

"I checked Wu Liangdi's pulse just now. She didn't look very good and was depressed. If she can't relieve her knot, I'm afraid that if it goes on for a long time, she will become depressed and ill.

Chen is her elder brother. He has watched her grow up since she was a child. When she was a child, she would often hold her on her lap and tell her stories. Although she is not Chen's sister, it is as if she is her own child. "

Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment.

"Gu Dao has neglected to care about her. I always thought she was quite nice."

"She just tried her best to show her best side to His Highness. She buried all the pain and tears in her heart. I dare to ask, why has Your Highness not consummated the marriage with Liangdi? What is the reason?"

Cheng Qian is embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, he confessed.

"Since the period of mourning for the late Queen has expired, Your Majesty has been urging me to have a legitimate son with the Su family. The teacher should also know that I have never liked the Su family, but His Majesty severely reprimanded me and I had no other choice but to There is a call every five days,”

"But, but,"

Cheng Qian complained to the teacher that he really didn't have any feelings for Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su didn't understand the slightest flattery on the bed. Every time, she would lie there motionless like a dead fish and would not even utter a cry.
After a few times, Cheng Qian became more and more fed up with the Su family. He had no interest at all, and sometimes he couldn't even lift the gun.
But the emperor pressed hard to hold his eldest grandson.

Cheng Qian had no choice but to find some elixirs to cheer him up, hoping to complete the task soon and make Su pregnant with a child.

But I never thought that it had some effect at first, but then it became less and less effective.
What was even scary was that not only did he lose interest in the Su family, he also lost interest in other people.

Now Su Shi is still serving every five days, but the two of them can't even complete the task. Every time they do something hastily, they get very angry.

Of course, Cheng Qian was not willing to consummate his marriage with Wu Erniang anymore in this state. If this didn't work then, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

"How long has your Highness been like this? What kind of elixir did you take, whose recipe was it, and who prepared the elixir?" Wu Huaiyu looked serious.

Li Shimin took the elixir at the beginning and almost lost it. Li Xiaogong also took the elixir and ran out of it. Chai Consort also made the elixir himself and was poisoned.
Why do you dare to eat indiscriminately?

"It's not the elixir from those wizards, warlocks and Taoists, it's the medicine prepared by the palace doctor,"

Wu Huaiyu asked him to find the elixir, the elixir, and the imperial doctor. How could he cause such a big problem after taking this medicine at such a young age?

While waiting for someone to come,
Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to check the prince's pulse.

After careful examination, Wu Huaiyu discovered a problem. Cheng Qian had serious health problems. Not only did he have an unspeakable addiction,

One of his legs seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he complained that his legs had been hurting recently.

This made Wu Huaiyu very alarmed.
Cheng Qian was lame in history. There are several theories about his lameness. One is that he used to like to pretend to be a Turk and play Turkic robbery games, and then fell off a horse and broke his leg. Another theory is that Cheng Qian was lame. Qian was sick and his legs became lame.

Wu Huaiyu was very worried.

If Li Chengqian fails to give birth to a legitimate son and becomes lame again, who knows whether Li Shimin will continue to support Chengqian as the crown prince.

And if Cheng Qian is lame and young, can he withstand this change?

If you can't bear it mentally, become mentally abnormal or something, and your temperament changes drastically, it may trigger a series of chain reactions.

Although this possibility is very small, it must be guarded against.

His expression was serious, and he began to inquire and examine the prince's legs in more detail.
The attitude of facing a formidable enemy made Cheng Qian become nervous and uneasy.

When the royal physician was summoned,

Wu Huaiyu asked him again very seriously, then checked the prescription he prescribed and the medicine he brought.

Check both patent medicines and ingredients.
"There is something wrong with your prescription, and there is something wrong with the preparation of the medicine,"

When the imperial doctor heard this, he trembled with fright and almost knelt down.

Cheng Qian's face also turned a little pale, "Teacher, I saw other imperial doctors before, and they said that they will recover with some treatment."

"Your Highness, please do not be careless,"

"It's the medicine that is three parts poisonous. You can't take the medicine indiscriminately, even if it's a tonic, especially this kind of medicine, you can't take it indiscriminately,"

Wu Huaiyu took the prescription and elixir and studied it again for a long time, and then asked Cheng Qian again in detail.

Cheng Qian added some relevant details.

For example, after he asked the imperial doctor to prescribe him an elixir to improve his mood, the effect improved, but it was still not in harmony with Su family. Then Su family heard that deer blood wine was a great tonic.
So every time he came to bed, he would bring a pot of deer blood wine.

It was all fresh deer blood that was released in Beiyuan Deer Park that day. It was brought back, mixed with wine, and given to the prince to drink.

The more Wu Huaiyu listened, the more surprised he became.

Cheng Qian asked the imperial physician to prescribe tonic medicine, while Princess Su always gave him a pot of deer blood wine. These two young people were really vigorous.

"First stop those pills, and don't drink the deer blood wine anymore. Also, it's best for Your Highness to suspend sexual intercourse for a hundred days,"

Cheng Qian was a little intimidated by Huai Yu's serious look and nodded hurriedly.

"Is there something wrong with the deer blood wine?"

"The deer blood wine itself is fine, but it is not suitable for His Highness's current situation, especially when it cannot be used at the same time as the elixir prescribed by the imperial doctor..."

"I'll be okay, my leg?"

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time. We are taking care of it now and it will be nothing serious..."

Cheng Qian sat there with a dark face, frightened for a while, but in his heart he hated Su even more.
