Chapter 113 Eating and Sleeping
When she saw Jiang You blocking the way, Concubine Lan showed dissatisfaction on her face again.
"The Emperor and I are here to visit the Crown Prince. How can we feel at ease if we can't see him?"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang You to speak, he quickly walked around him and pulled open the bed curtain.
She wanted to let the emperor see the horrible look on the prince's face when the poison took effect, and then he would definitely change the prince.
Just when she thought that she would see the prince's horrific appearance when he turned into a demon after lifting the bed curtain, she was greatly disappointed.
“Cough cough cough… Father…”
Shang Zhanchen sat up weakly and was about to get up to salute when the emperor raised his hand to stop him.
"No thanks. Is Chen'er feeling better?" The emperor looked at Shang Zhanchen with a frown.
His face was so pale, it seemed that the Queen was right, Chen'er was seriously ill this time.
He has been weak since he was a child. Even after so many years of treatment by the imperial physician, he is still so weak.
Looking at the current situation, I don’t know if I can participate in this year’s ceremony to worship the heaven.
The harvest this year was not good. If the prince could not go with him to offer sacrifices to the heaven, he was really afraid that it would cause panic among the people.
"Thank you for your concern, Father. I am much better now and should not be late for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens."
After Shang Zhanchen finished speaking, he coughed twice, still looking weak.
"Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Sun said that Chen'er has a serious cold this time and needs to be taken good care of.
If there is nothing important, let's not disturb Chen'er's rest.
Let Chen'er take good care of himself so that he can participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony as scheduled."
"Okay, then Chen'er, you should have a good rest. I will go back first."
The emperor nodded, stood up, and seeing that Chen'er really needed care, he turned and walked out of the hall.
“……………………” Concubine Lan came back to her senses.
After watching the emperor leave, he glanced at the prince sitting on the bed, then hurriedly followed him with a frown.
Before leaving, he turned back to look at Shang Zhanchen.
impossible!
These few days were clearly the period when the prince was suffering from the poison, so how come there was no sign at all?
I thought I would see the prince turning into a ferocious beast just now, but he turned out to be fine.
What on earth could have gone wrong? This was impossible.
Looking at the backs of the emperor and Concubine Lan leaving, the queen looked at Jiang You with a worried look on her face.
"No news from the prince yet?"
Bai'er has been gone for so long and there has been no news. Jiang You also said that he has not received any news, which makes her feel very uneasy.
"Your Majesty, I haven't received any news yet." Jiang You bowed respectfully.
"Jiang You, tell me the truth, what happened to Chen'er?" The queen looked at Jiang You eagerly.
Jiang You is Chen'er's confidant, it is impossible for him not to give him any news for such a long time. Could something have happened?
She didn't tell her because she was afraid that she would worry. Seeing the Queen's worried look, Jiang You bowed respectfully again.
"Don't worry, Queen, the Crown Prince will be fine. Last time I received news from Jiang Zuo,
It is said that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are going to Xianxia Mountain to collect herbs for the Crown Prince to detoxify. I think they should be in Xianxia Mountain now.
It's just not convenient to send a message back. Your subordinates guess that there should be news back in a day or two.
Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Crown Prince will be fine. If anything were to happen, Jiang Zuo and the others would have informed their subordinates."
Jiang You said this with certainty, although he was also suspicious in his heart as to why Jiang Zuo hadn't replied to his message for so long.
But I can't tell this to the Queen Mother, lest she worry even more.
"If you have any news about the prince, you must inform me immediately." The queen looked at Jiang You.
Judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to be lying, so I will wait for another day or two. If it still doesn't work, I will ask Jiang You to send someone to take a look.
At this moment, Shang Zhanchen had just finished dinner and came to the stone bed. Just as he was about to lie down to rest, he heard Shen Yiyi's stomach growling like thunder.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen frowned.
He took another look at Shen Yiyi's deflated belly. This woman must have had nothing to eat or drink for two days.
No wonder his stomach was growling so loudly, he glanced at her again, frowning every now and then, and moving again.
It seemed that he was hungry and slept restlessly. He glanced at the stone table, then stood up and walked over.
He pulled back a roasted chicken leg and pushed Shen Yiyi's body with his hand.
"How about eating something before going to bed?"
After staying up all night without eating, she must be starving.
After pushing her a few times, Shen Yiyi just frowned and showed no intention of waking up.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen hesitated for a moment.
He tore off a small piece of meat and put it to Shen Yiyi's mouth, thinking that this woman was so greedy.
If he had smelled the barbecue, he would have woken up, but something he didn't expect happened.
When she smelled the delicious barbecue, Shen Yiyi opened her mouth without even opening her eyes.
He put the barbecue into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three gulps.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen.
This works too!
Looking at his empty hands, and then at Shen Yiyi who was licking her lips, if he hadn't confirmed that she was really asleep, he would have thought she was pretending.
I have never seen anyone who can eat while sleeping. This woman is really an exception.
He thought it was very funny, so he tore off another piece of chicken and handed it over. As soon as it touched Shen Yiyi's mouth.
Shen Yiyi sucked it into her mouth just like a frog catching a mosquito, and swallowed it into her stomach in no time.
It was so fast that it felt like I swallowed it without chewing.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen curled the corner of his mouth.
As if he had discovered something interesting, he tore off another piece of meat and handed it over.
Shen Yiyi did not let him down. She sucked it into her mouth again and swallowed it in two or three gulps.
During this process, there was no sign of waking up.
Seeing the third brother grinning, Shang Zhanbai came over curiously.
When he saw the Third Emperor's wife swallowing the meat given to her by the Third Emperor in just a few bites, he opened his mouth in surprise.
"Is the Third Emperor's wife born in the year of the snake?" He pointed at Shen Yiyi in surprise.
Only animals without teeth swallow their food whole.
Hearing him say this, Shang Zhanchen rolled his eyes at him in dissatisfaction.
"Go away." Then he continued feeding the baby.
Shen Yiyi ate the entire chicken leg.
Seeing that the woman could eat more, he was about to take another one, but the moment he stood up, his brows furrowed.
He looked at Jiang Zuo and Han Chun who were cleaning up their prey, and walked over quickly.
He came up to them, snatched the uneaten rabbit from their hands, and bit off its neck.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
“……………………”Han Chun.
“……………………”Shang Zhanbai.
The three of them were all stunned. It was over. The poison had taken effect again!
