After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 301 Headache

"That's true," the other person agreed, his eyes revealing a complex emotion that was difficult to identify, "After the Lantern Festival, it will be the big day for my second brother..."

After saying this, she paused, as if savoring the upcoming festive atmosphere.

It turned out that there had long been a rumor that the woman named Liu'er had been engaged to Uncle Song for many years, but they had to wait for her brother to get married first before holding the wedding ceremony.

This long-term agreement has caused all kinds of speculation and curiosity among the people.

Just as the two were chatting excitedly, a familiar figure in the distance suddenly stopped and turned around, his eyes fixed directly on them.

"Hey! What are you two talking about?"

Uncle Song's tone was relaxed but his curiosity was hard to conceal.

I saw that he had slightly raised eyebrows and a gentle smile on his face, giving people an approachable feeling.

"We're talking about our future sister-in-law!"

In response to this question, Xian'er spoke without reservation, with a hint of joking in her tone, "By this time next year, our mansion will welcome another beautiful bride! It's really getting more and more lively!"

After saying this, she cast a meaningful look at Cui Rong, as if she wanted to convey some message.

After listening to this conversation, Xiangli subconsciously shifted his gaze to Cui Rong who was silent beside him. At that moment, an indescribable emotion flashed in the depths of his deep eyes - perhaps there was a surprise, or perhaps there were more stories that had not yet been told.

But before anyone could further explore the secrets behind this conversation, they were already drawn into a grand banquet with bright lights and packed guests.

Although the emperor had not arrived yet, almost all the invited officials had already taken their seats. The entire hall was filled with greetings to each other, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Due to her status as a new bride and her young age, she should not be too ostentatious, so Cui Rong followed obediently behind the eldest lady and sat quietly in an inconspicuous place.

However, just as she was immersed in this tranquility, she suddenly felt a piercing cold gaze coming from behind her. She turned her head and found that it was from Jiang Xuejun, the girl who had been under house arrest and restricted from traveling because of offending Prince Xuan's Mansion. At this moment, she was standing there staring at her...

I couldn't help but wonder: How could she be here?

According to common sense, Jiang Xuejun had no right to enter the magnificent palace in her current situation; not to mention that even someone of such a noble status as Concubine Zhuo was not qualified to enter the palace this time...

However, Cui Rong quickly withdrew her thoughts and deliberately ignored Jiang Xuejun's provocative attitude, because she knew that this was not the best time to confront him.

Just as she was about to shift her attention to other things, a shrill voice broke the originally quiet and peaceful scene: "Bi-Xi A has arrived! The Queen is here too!"

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell silent, and all the guests stood up from their seats and congratulated in unison: "We are looking forward to seeing you, Bi-Xi A, and we welcome the extremely distinguished Empress."

Although the white-haired old emperor looked haggard, he still maintained his usual calm and composed demeanor, with a steady step and eyes as sharp as an eagle, giving people a powerful aura that could not be ignored.

After everyone was seated again, he slowly spoke: "Tonight is a royal gathering in the form of a family dinner. I hope everyone can enjoy it without being overly restrained."

As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of gratitude immediately surged: "Thank you for the emperor's grace and the honor bestowed upon you."

Then the emperor walked slowly and firmly to the main seat and sat down, followed by the queen who had always been by his side for many years, who elegantly chose a seat at the lower side.

Inadvertently, she glanced at the figure sitting quietly in the corner and gave the young girl a faint glance.

As the court musicians played beautiful and melodious tunes, professional dancers took turns to take the stage to showcase their unique and exquisite dancing skills.

As the banquet continued, the performances were so wonderful that it was hard to take your eyes off.

However, all this failed to really arouse Cui Rong's interest. Instead, as time passed, she became more and more anxious and hoped to end the dinner as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible.

At this moment something unexpected happened:

The queen, who was sitting in the center of the hall, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. She involuntarily supported her forehead with her hands, her face full of pain.

Seeing this, the old attendant next to him hurriedly came forward and asked with concern: "Madam, are you having another headache?"

Faced with this situation, she shook her head slightly to indicate that there was no need to panic.

"Don't be nervous. This attack isn't particularly severe."

Apparently, the emperor noticed that his lover was feeling unwell, and he immediately suggested: "If you feel that you can't bear the pain, why don't you return to your bedroom to recuperate and see a doctor."

After hearing this, the other party nodded in agreement with tears of gratitude.

Then he turned to the little girl who was still sitting upright and made another request: "I have heard that the female doctor of the Xu family is very skilled in curing various difficult and complicated diseases. Considering that the current medical team in the palace may not be able to effectively solve the problem, I hope to get your assistance."

After hearing this, Cui Rong reacted quickly, stood up and bowed, saying: "I obey your command and am willing to do my best to cure the Queen Mother's illness and serve her wholeheartedly so that she can recover her health as soon as possible."

Faced with the sudden test and challenge, she did not show any hesitation but responded calmly, composedly and confidently.

Everyone knows that the Song family's marriage to a merchant's daughter once caused a huge response throughout the court and the country. Many ministers submitted memorials to the emperor, raising many questions and even demanding punishment measures.

However, considering the higher interests, the rulers obviously did not intend to pursue the matter too much and instead just passed it over as a fun topic in daily life.

Since you have such superb skills, how about trying to cure the Queen's long-standing illness?

If the final result can prove to be effective, I will give you a generous reward to recognize your contribution and extraordinary talent."

"But I am worried that my skills are still inadequate..." Xu Cui Rong's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

She knew that the opportunity before her was extremely rare, but her lack of confidence in her own abilities made her feel unprecedented pressure.

"Don't make excuses. Since you've been valued, just give it a try. You don't have anything to lose anyway."

Prince Xuan's eyes were filled with encouragement and unquestionable firmness, as if he had already seen through her hesitation and uneasiness.
