Chapter 232 Maid
He didn't want to show his embarrassment in front of outsiders, so he endured it all the way, but now he has reached his limit.
The eunuchs who were accompanying him hurriedly helped him to the inner room. One of them had six or seven pouches hanging around his waist. He took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from the pouch and put it to Li Chengye's nose to let him smell it.
This is an antiemetic.
Li Chengye's complexion looked much better.
Then the eunuch took out a small flat silver box from another purse, opened it, took out a pill, turned around and said to another person.
"Tell them to bring a kettle of hot water, dissolve the pill and give it to Your Highness."
This is a hangover pill.
This eunuch is older and knows some medical knowledge. He usually follows Li Chengye wherever he goes.
The younger eunuch hurried away.
The older eunuch changed the subject and spoke to Li Chengye.
"Your Highness, although the pill can sober you up, it has limited potency. You drank too much, so you should spit some out first!"
Li Chengye nodded.
The eunuch apologized softly, stretched out his thumb, and pressed hard between his master's chest and abdomen.
Li Chengye opened his mouth uncontrollably and started vomiting.
The banquet had just begun, and before he had time to eat, Fu Nian forced him to drink three bowls of wine. What he vomited out now was stomach acid and wine.
After he vomited, the eunuch hurriedly helped him lean against the head of the bed and massaged the Neiguan acupoint with just the right amount of force.
Li Chengye closed his eyes and felt that his internal organs were all mixed up and his head was throbbing with pain.
“This wine is amazing…”
He murmured to himself, his voice as soft as a mosquito.
The eunuch was still massaging his acupuncture points and said, "I didn't expect that Tu Jie's wine was so strong. I don't know if the sobering pills I brought today are enough. If Your Highness is really feeling uncomfortable, just take a nap first!"
Li Chengye nodded.
At this time, the young eunuch came in with a teapot and cups.
He tried the tea sets and hot water one by one before he began to dissolve the pill.
Both eunuchs were extremely careful.
After drinking the medicine, Li Chengye felt his stomach felt better, but his head still hurt. So he said a few words to the two of them, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Princess Yunlan outside was stamping her feet in anxiety.
After Li Chengye was brought to the main courtyard, she followed quietly, hoping to find an opportunity to go in.
But what was unexpected was that although there were only two eunuchs around Li Chengye, these two eunuchs were particularly vigilant and always left one of them with Li Chengye to prevent him from being alone.
No matter how bold Yun Lan was, it was impossible for him to just barge in and drug the prince in front of those two eunuchs!
She was anxious and annoyed, and as time passed, she felt more lost and sad.
After today, her brother will soon set off for the north, and she can't stay alone. If she fails to capture the prince, she will have to go back with him.
If the mission fails, she will not have a good ending. No matter how good her brother is to her, he will not keep a useless person. He will probably give her to a general or elder of the tribe.
Those people were either very old or strong, and had at least a dozen women around them.
After seeing the men in the Central Plains, Yun Lan really looked down on those old, ugly men who would beat women at every turn.
She walked around the wall, considering the possibility of climbing in through the window.
Just then, she suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the direction of the main courtyard gate.
Yun Lan hurriedly hid behind a tree and listened with bated breath.
The person who came seemed to be a maid.
The maid ran into the main courtyard in a hurry, shouting in panic.
"Oh no! Something has happened to the Crown Princess! Your Highness! Your Highness!"
She called out several times, but the prince did not appear. Only the young eunuch came out of the room.
Seeing this maid, the eunuch's face was full of vigilance.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
The maid ran up to him and reached out to pull his sleeve.
"Eunuch, someone outside wants to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said that the Crown Princess is suddenly unwell..."
She looked anxious, but it didn't seem fake.
The eunuch was still suspicious.
"The imperial physician came just before I left today and said that the Crown Princess was fine. How could something like this happen to her? Who are you? What's your intention in pretending to be a messenger from the palace?"
He suddenly grabbed the maid's wrist and questioned her in a cold voice.
The maid felt pain and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Eunuch, I'm not lying. Someone really wants to see me! I'm just a little maid who delivers messages. Even if I have the courage of the sky, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing that could get me killed! Eunuch, can you please let go? My hand hurts so much."
She pleaded pitifully.
Unfortunately, the person he was facing was a eunuch.
The eunuch sneered.
"Still trying to use those seductive tricks!"
He stretched out his other hand and grabbed the maid's other arm, spun her around, twisted her wrist, and stepped hard on her lower back.
The maidservant was crying, but the eunuch pretended not to hear.
He turned and shouted inside.
"This maid has bad intentions, I'm throwing her out!"
The older eunuch came out, glanced at the maid and frowned.
"This is the Dingbei Palace after all, so let's leave it to the people in the palace to deal with it!"
The young eunuch thought about it and nodded.
"it is good."
After saying that, he took the maid and walked out of the main courtyard quickly.
After the two men left, Eunuch Hua entered the inner room again.
But not long after, someone else came.
The people who came this time were not strangers, but acquaintances.
"Where are Eunuch Hua and Eunuch Gu? Why are you alone?"
The maid entered the yard and greeted with a smile.
The eunuch walked to the door and relaxed his brows when he saw the person coming.
"It's Miss Hongying. Why are you here? What does the Crown Princess want?"
The older eunuch Hua spoke first.
Hongying was the personal maidservant of the Crown Princess, and she and another maid named Feihong were both the Crown Princess's dowry maids.
Hongying has a gentle face and a faint smile.
"The Crown Princess is worried about His Royal Highness, so she sent me here to check on him. I wonder when His Royal Highness will return home. Should I prepare a midnight snack? The Crown Princess couldn't make up her mind for a moment. By the way, where is His Royal Highness?"
Eunuch Hua turned around and glanced into the inner room.
"Your Highness drank too much and just took a rest."
Hongying was a little surprised: "Your Highness is drunk? Is it serious?"
Eunuch Hua shook his head.
"It's nothing serious. I've taken some hangover pills and will be fine after a good night's sleep. Crown Princess, don't worry. His Highness said that the Crown Princess is pregnant and needs to be carefully taken care of. She can't be without someone by her side. Miss Hongying should go back quickly!"
Eunuch Hua was not sure about Hongying's real purpose. He always felt that her appearance was a little sudden. After thinking it over again and again, he did not let Hongying go to see the prince.
Hongying tiptoed and looked into the inner room a few times, but was disappointed not to see the prince.
"Is it really alright, Your Highness?"
"Don't worry! The Emperor and the Empress are here too, nothing will happen."
Hongying pursed her lips at first, then her expression relaxed.
