C203 A Sudden Mental Illness
The next day, Yu Longyun returned to the Imperial Palace early in the morning. She was full of energy and kept smiling. Mu Ruqing teased her but she only laughed foolishly.
"I heard that the Yunmeng Country diplomat group will enter the Imperial Capital tomorrow." After sending Yu Longyun away, Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen who did not attend the court.
Yu Longchen drank the tea and looked at the flowers in the teacup. "This flower tea, the more you drink, the more taste it has."
Mu Ruqing was a little angry and could not help but think about what would happen to him if she went. Now he was not willing to answer her. She did not know what he meant.
Yu Longchen saw Mu Ruqing holding her breath, but he smiled. He did not have the face to ask, "What's wrong? Who offended this king's consort?"
"Hmph." Mu Ruqing was really angry. Could it be that she really wanted to marry Princess Yun? If you want to marry, you have to wait for me to die.
"What does their coming have to do with me?" Yu Longchen licked his face and leaned on Mu Ruqing again. "Didn't your wife see that I'm not going to court because of my illness?"
"That's more like it." Mu Ruqing finally eased up a little.
"Putong putong." Mu Ruqing could feel her own heartbeat, as if it was going to jump out of her chest. Every nerve in her heart tugged at her pain.
Mu Ruqing held her chest and leaned on Yu Longchen's hand, who was hugging her at the waist. Her face was in pain and her eyebrows were pressed together.
"What's wrong?" Yu Longchen saw her painful expression and panicked. He shouted towards the outside, "Changxu, pass on the message to Imperial Physician Gu!"
"Yes!" Changxu did not ask. He never asked for the reason why Yu Longchen asked him to do things. He just needed to complete it.
Mu Ruqing was in so much pain that she could not stand up. She was carried to the bed by Yu Longchen. She curled up and could not stop shaking.
"Yu... Yu Longchen." Mu Ruqing's face was pale. She only narrowed her eyes and grabbed Yu Longchen's hand tighter and tighter.
"I'm here, I'm here." Yu Longchen's heart started to tighten.
Mu Ruqing held his hand tightly and smiled.
"Lingyue!" Yu Longchen slightly tilted his head and called out to the door.
Lingyue quickly ran in. Before she saw the person, she heard Yu Longchen's dignified order, "Go and boil hot water. Prepare the towel."
"Princess..."
"Quick, go!"
Hearing Yu Longchen's angry roar, Lingyue hurriedly ran out.
Yu Longchen pulled out his right hand. His fingers were trembling. He was afraid that something would happen to Mu Ruqing.
He touched her sweaty face and combed her wet temples. He used the hot towel Lingyue brought over to carefully wipe her.
Mu Ruqing felt dizzy all over and only saw Yu Longchen in her eyes. Everything else was not imprinted in her mind.
"Jade... Dragon... Morning, my... heart aches."
His voice was soft and intermittent. Yu Longchen could only hear the words' dragon 'and' pain.
" Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! " Yu Longchen became more and more afraid. He felt that his entire body was cold from head to toe.
"Your Royal Highness." Changxu dragged Imperial Physician Gu into the room in a hurry.
"Hurry up." Before Imperial Physician Gu could stand up, Yu Longchen shouted at him. He held his slightly crooked hat and went to the front of the bed without asking for permission.
Yu Longchen gave him a seat. "Quick, take a look!"
Imperial Physician Gu saw Mu Ruqing's face and his face darkened. He did not care about etiquette and directly took Mu Ruqing's pulse on her wrist that was devoid of blood.
"How is it?" Yu Longchen walked around Imperial Physician Gu. In the past, he would only find it funny when he saw others in such a hurry. Now that it happened to him, he knew what kind of pain it was.
"The princess's heart meridian did not gather. Her Qi and blood were rushing. In addition, the princess's body was not as good as before when she was born, which was why she suddenly had an acute illness." Before Imperial Physician Gu had the time to inform the apprentice alchemist, he was forcefully dragged over. " I wonder if Your Highness can help this old official get the silver needle in the box?"
When they returned to Dayong, all of Mu Ruqing's tonics were concocted by Imperial Physician Gu, so he knew Mu Ruqing's physical condition clearly.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Longchen opened the curtain, revealing silver needles of different thickness.
The air was quiet. With every needle that Imperial Physician Gu inserted, the pain on Mu Ruqing's face became lighter.
"Hot towel." Imperial Physician Gu reached out his hand to Yu Longchen.
Lingyue came back with some water and hurriedly put the towel on.
Yu Longchen took the towel and wiped Mu Ruqing's forehead full of sweat. Imperial Physician Gu rolled up his wide sleeve and inserted silver needles into the bridge of her nose and the corners of her eyes. Two more needles were inserted into her neck under her ear.
Mu Ruqing calmed down and lay flat on the bed. Other than her slightly rising and falling chest, she did not do anything else.
"How is it?" Yu Longchen's brows did not relax. Instead, his frown deepened.
"It has stabilized." Imperial Physician Gu prescribed the prescription. When he passed it to Yu Longchen, he quickly apologized, "There is a reason for this. I have offended you. Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness."
"It's fine." Yu Longchen took a look at the prescription and recognized a few of them. He asked doubtfully, "Why did you use such a cold medicine?"
"The princess's liver is burning. She suddenly caught a cold and her heart is hot. " Imperial Physician Gu lowered his eyebrows and looked at Mu Ruqing who was on the bed. There were still some things that he could not say.
He had been a doctor for his entire life, but he had never seen such a strange illness. Mu Ruqing's illness was strange. When he took her pulse, it was actually very difficult to feel Mu Ruqing's pulse. It seemed to be there or not, just like a person on the verge of death.
But her heartbeat was so strong that it was a bit stronger than a normal man.
Suddenly, he remembered a medical book and vaguely remembered to write down this symptom. Thinking about it, he hurriedly put away the silver needles and rushed back.
Yu Longchen looked at the unconscious Mu Ruqing and felt that things were not that simple. Now, he could only trust Imperial Physician Gu.
"Princess." Lingyue was also afraid and slowly walked to the bedside. Before she got close, Yu Longchen coldly ordered her, "Go boil water and fry the medicine. Changxu, you have the time of ten minutes."
Changxu took the prescription and jumped over the roof.
There were only two people left in the room, but there was no usual laughter.
Yu Longchen sat by the bed in a daze and stared at Mu Ruqing without blinking.
"Yu Longchen."
He seemed to have heard Mu Ruqing calling him. He fixed his eyes on the person on the bed and saw that other than breathing, there were no other movements.
He held her hand but felt the strength from her fingertips.
He heard her open lips, "You are still here."
Yu Longchen was delighted. He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid that touching her would cause her pain.
Mu Ruqing's big eyes flashed as she looked at Yu Longchen who was worried about her. Her eyes were filled with happiness, and her other hand also grabbed him.
"I told you, where are you? Where am I?"
"Yes." Mu Ruqing remembered, but because her body was sore and weak, she could not move at all.
Yu Longchen understood her. He bent down and picked her up, hugging her tightly in his arms.
"Cough, cough." Mu Ruqing was so choked by him that she could not breathe. "Can't you be a little lighter?"
"It's my husband's fault." Yu Longchen relaxed a little but did not let go of her.
"If I die..."
"En, in another forty to fifty years, when the tomb for us two is finished, we will go in together and sleep in the same coffin. Dressed in wedding attire... "
" Wait. " Mu Ruqing lifted her head and stared at him doubtfully," Why are you wearing wedding attire? "
"Because of this, no matter where you go, you can't run away. You can only be my wife."
"So overbearing." Mu Ruqing buried her head on his shoulder. Her eyes became moist and dyed his eyelashes and clothes. How good would it be if she could really do this?
