Twenty-five wooden horses arrived at the imperial palace
One of the puzzles was that Huā Xī Yán couldn't figure it out. As a modern person, she knew that people's appearances were not related to each other, and without any connection, they couldn't be 100% similar.
Was I just being paranoid?
Hua Shu'er was sent back to her own chamber, and Hua Zhengke ordered someone to invite the imperial physician. Liu Shi's heart ached as she wiped away the bloodstains on Hua Shu'er's forehead with a handkerchief, thinking that if her daughter were disfigured, it would have serious consequences. Her anger and shame surged, and she crumpled the handkerchief in her hand and slapped it onto the heads of the kneeling maidservants, including Guiyuan, scolding: "You're all so useless!"
"Madam, I deserve to die." Guiyuan and the others trembled with fear, knocking their heads on the ground, but they didn't know how to explain because no one knew how Huashu fell.
Huā Shū'ér's outstretched hand suddenly grasped Liǔ's hand and called out: "Mother."
"Shu'er, bear with it a little longer, your father has sent someone to invite Dr. Tai." said Liu Shi with concern.
"Mom, big sister is back, did you know?"
Listening to his daughter say this, wasn't it Hua Shu'er who met Hua Xiyan on the road? Liu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, her voice lowered: "Shu'er, are you saying that she was the one who made you like this?"
Hua Shu'er nodded. All the way, she thought about it and could only think of this possibility. This fall was too strange for no reason. Moreover, looking around the capital, who would dare to deliberately make an enemy of her, Hua Shu'er, and the Hua family?
Liu learned from Hua Shu'er's mouth and thought of everything that had just happened in the main hall, which was also unbelievable. But this Hua Xiyuan is a waste, how did she do it?
"Old Doctor Lu, please." The curtain was lifted by a servant. The curtain moved slightly, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in official attire, walked into the room, followed closely by a young apprentice carrying a medicine box.
Lu Taishan greeted the Liu family and Hua Zhengke, then walked to Hua Shu'er's bedside, examined her wound, and upon seeing the long and deep gash on her forehead, furrowed his white eyebrows. He reported to Hua Zhengke and Liu Shi: "Miss Hua's injury may leave a scar if not treated properly."
Hua Shu'er was short of breath, and Liu's family patted her chest and said to the imperial physician in a hurry: "No matter how much silver is needed, there is no problem. She is the crown princess of King Xian. If you need lingzhi and ginseng, just take them from the palace."
Lu Taishan listened and didn't dare to slack off, he took Hua Shu'er's wrist seriously and felt her pulse again, then asked the medicine boy to take out a pen and ink to write a prescription.
Hua Zhengkui walked out of the house and saw Zhang Fu crossing the gate, beckoning him with a wave of his hand.
Chang Fu walked up beside him and said: "The young lady and the young master have all been settled in." After speaking, he took a glance at his expression.
Hua Zhengke didn't say anything was wrong, just hummed and walked forward.
Liu watched him walk away slowly from the window, her eyes dim, and called Wang: "Proceed with the original plan."
Wang's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly lowered his head.
——
Emerald mountains surround, the peak of the mountain is a dark ink color, in the midst of wispy clouds layered and stacked, hazy and indistinct, like a dream or an illusion. Kunlun, known as the most divine land among the nine states, closest to the realm of the gods, belongs to Dongling State.
In the mountains, there is a national highway that leads to the capital of Dongling State. This road is wide enough for four large horse-drawn carriages to move side by side, passing through the waist of the mountain range without having to circle around from the foot of the mountain to the peak and back down. Ordinary people cannot pass through this divine path, only the imperial family of Dongling State can come and go freely on this road.
In this fairyland-like place, a large horse-drawn carriage pulled by four thousand-mile horses sped through the divine path at a speed of one thousand miles. Nearly a hundred dark guards in front and back were all dressed in green clothes. When arriving at the city gate, the Imperial Forest Army came out to join the escort.
In the vast and mighty procession, inside the large carriage that was surrounded by people in front and back, there was only one child making a humming noise, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
The little white heron, like a ballet dancer standing alone on the golden bird stand, heard the sound of "Qian Sui returns" coming from outside, it was the eunuch announcing, the bird's head tilted towards the child lying on the couch. Seeing the child's snores unaffected by the wind, the white feathers flapped twice and flew to the top of Hua Mu Rong's head, the sharp beak tapping on her delicate face.
"Nini, I want to sleep!" The sleep-deprived Huā Mù Róng was furious, raised her two small hands and fought with the little egret.
I'm so angry I could burst. Is this kid a pig or what? On the road, all he does is eat and sleep, sleep and eat. What's most infuriating is that they actually mistook this noble and beautiful bird for that ugly little pig.
Compared with the noble young master of their own family, they are far from it.
The beak pecked at the small lip corner where saliva was flowing out.
A sharp pain made Huamu Rong's bones ache, and she sat up from the bed, opening her blurry little eyes: "Is it time to eat?"
This kid can't do anything except eating!
The bird's beak pecked at his head: Wake up quickly, you're pretending to be the young master of my house, what if you get exposed?
Hua Mu Rong was perhaps initially afraid of this question, but when he rode the little white horse to the east gate of Hua Xi City and then moved onto this large carriage, basically no one came to bother him.
Although it's more comfortable than being with his mother, having meals served and someone to call out for food, being able to sleep whenever he wants without his mother constantly urging him to study, it won't affect his deep love for his mother.
"I just need to get the Queen Mother's peach and ginseng fruit, pack them for my mother, and head back immediately." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and rubbed his belly, "Is there anything to eat?"
Still eating? We've already arrived at the imperial palace.
To remind this muddled little foodie, the white egret flew to the window and lifted the car curtain with its beak.
Outside the window, a vast expanse of buildings floats in the sea of clouds, with distant mountains and majestic scenery that makes the flowers and trees open their mouths wide: Where has he arrived? Is this the extraordinary landscape Mother mentioned?
The carriage stopped and Yi Feng said from outside: "Young master, we're home."
The carriage curtains were lifted by hand, and everyone was waiting for the young prince to get out of the car.
Little throat, coughing, as if finally knowing the tension, slowly crawling down from the bed, putting on a pair of golden boots. Swinging and swaying, walking out of the big carriage.
"Long live the Crown Prince for thousands and thousands of years."
A huge wave of sound, echoing beyond the nine heavens at the same time, caused Huamu to take a step back, and two small hands quickly grasped the pillar of the carriage.
As far as the eye can see, hundreds of palace maids are kneeling on the jade-paved ground, in the distance, the magnificent golden palace, the mirror-like jade railings, the vivid golden face beasts, the colorful dragon heads, beautiful and breathtaking, endless.
"Your Highness." Two palace attendants carried a footstool and placed it beside the carriage.
The little egret flew onto his small shoulder and pecked at his hair with its beak: Hurry up and get off, what are you standing there for.
This kid must be blind.
Xiao Mu Mu was absolutely stunned. He knew that the young man was rich, but he never thought it would be to this extent. Xiao Mu Mu was just an ordinary young man and had never thought of showing off his wealth one day. Moreover, his mother had taught him: only fools show off their wealth, you should pretend to be poor!
