EBE Chapter 290 The final word
Chapter 290 The final word
A full half month had passed, and Zhou Chang felt that he had let down Prince Yi Fengming and was too ashamed to see anyone.
I went back and forth between the bedroom and the study, and missed the entire New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, one has every reason to eat and drink to one's heart's content, but she couldn't eat or drink, and she lost weight.
After the New Year’s Eve banquet, Zhou Chang opened his eyes again on the third night of the New Year.
I didn't expect to sleep for three days and three nights.
I also slept past the best opportunity to save the relationship.
On the first day of the new year, the old Princess Pingning adopted Yuan Qi as her adopted daughter and issued an edict to confer the title of "Princess Daning County".
On the second day of the first lunar month, the ceremonies of accepting the bride’s proposal and asking for the bride’s name were performed.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the marriage was officially granted. Rong Wang Feng Duo received the decree on behalf of Yi Wang Feng Ming who was unconscious.
When Zhou Chang woke up that night and figured out everything, everything had already been decided and there was no room for maneuver.
Prince Rong was busy inside and outside the palace for three days. Since it was a happy event, it should be decided during the New Year so that the people could enjoy it together, so he tried his best to promote it.
The court's efficiency has never been so high, but it has been achieved under Prince Rong's leadership.
Zhou Chang couldn't be woken up no matter how hard they called him. Not only that, he also had red rashes all over his body.
Aunt Jing and Zhong Yu once thought that Zhou Chang was in a coma. Because Doctor Meng had returned to his hometown for the New Year, they had to invite the imperial physician and the doctor from the medical clinic to see him.
In the end, they said that he was just drunk, so I gave him some sobering soup, and all I could do was wait.
After Zhou Chang woke up and heard what had happened, he started scratching his hair frantically.
After calming down a little, he carefully looked inside and out. The rash had already subsided a lot, and he suspected that the coma was caused by alcohol allergy.
But she wasn't a doctor and she wasn't sure.
Then, I began to suspect that the wine at the New Year's Eve banquet was really weird.
This is because even if Prince Yi Fengming is also allergic to alcohol, the allergy will not cause hallucinations.
Feng Ming saw "Yuan Qi" at that time, while she saw colorful lights.
Moreover, Zhou Chang could not accept the fact that had happened anyway, so he asked Zhong Yu: "Mr. Zhong, do you think there is a medicine in this world that can make people think they are saying 'no', but actually saying 'yes'?"
According to Shouhou's description, Feng Ming was drunk and shouted "Yes, yes..." in the Mingde Hall, and admitted that he was interested in Yuan Qi.
The skinny monkey couldn't be stopped even if he wanted to.
But in Zhou Chang's memory, both she and Prince Yi Fengming had been constantly denying it.
How could you get something so important wrong?
"The problem is those plates and bowls..." Zhong Yu frowned and could not answer. The skinny monkey rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows whether the prince was asking for plates and bowls or marrying Miss Yuan?"
Zhou Chang held his head.
Not only did she do something stupid, she also missed the opportunity of "live streaming sales in different dimensions".
At the New Year's Eve banquet, the skinny monkey only carried Prince Yi out, and had no spare energy to bring out any other plates or bowls.
As a result, there are now nearly two hundred orders pending on the system, which cannot be fulfilled at all.
But the focus is no longer on “live streaming with goods”, what about the arranged marriage?
The skinny monkey even testified to the dumplings: "I swear on these foods that the prince did shout like that at the time. I wanted to persuade the prince to say less, but I couldn't."
Zhou Chang pushed the dumplings in front of him away, refusing to believe it, "Take it. You don't have to swear. I'll give it to you."
The skinny monkey was not vague and took it away immediately: "Your Highness is hungover, it's normal that he can't eat, but Aunt Jing went to make noodles for your Highness again."
"Ah..." Zhou Chang was speechless. He refused to admit it in his heart, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said words like "beautiful", "good", "marry"... at that time.
But, didn’t they hear the negative word before it?
Zhong Yu's brows have been furrowed since he entered the bedroom.
After thinking hard for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out: "I have only heard of drugs that can make people tell the truth, drugs that can make people talk nonsense, and drugs that can make people hallucinate, but I have never heard of drugs that can make people say the opposite of what they mean. Your Majesty, this matter is really strange, very strange..."
Zhou Chang suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
Since then, I don't want to see anyone anymore.
The main reason was that he felt too embarrassed to face anyone, and he didn't even dare to imagine how Yuan Qi felt at the moment.
In the following days, she was tossing and turning, and was even willing to go straight to Emperor Lin and throw a tantrum, demanding that the emperor take back his decision.
In the end, he was stopped by Zhong Yu and Shou Hou.
In order to persuade Zhou Chang to accept, Zhong Yu even asked Shouhou to find out privately whether there was really something wrong with the wine at the palace banquet.
What the skinny monkey found out was that everyone drank the same kind of wine at the palace banquet, and Zhou Chang even drank two types less than the others.
Others drank three kinds of wine in total, and many of them drank more than Prince Yi.
Even Xian Wang Fengzheng ended up getting drunk and was carried out of the palace.
It is impossible to verify whether King Xian had hallucinations or not, but he kept bragging about himself, which shows that he did not show any symptoms of speaking in a contradictory way.
So Zhou Chang suspected that someone had put hallucinogens in her wine.
According to the memory of You Wan, the second manager of Yaoyuefang, that kind of medicine powder or oil was still there, but Zhou Chang didn't drink it out at that time.
But who would give Prince Yi this kind of medicine?
What benefits does it bring to the other party?
Zhou Chang pulled out a lot of hair, but still couldn't come up with the answer.
In short, Prince Yi Fengming cannot disobey the order, as this will implicate the entire Prince Yi's Mansion.
Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was both the Lantern Festival and Prince Yi Fengming’s birthday.
According to past practice, although there would not be a lavish banquet on Prince Yi’s birthday, his mother would make rice dumplings and his aunt Jing would make longevity noodles for him.
Prince Yi and Zhou Chang also had no appetite. They had just taken two bites of longevity noodles when they heard the news brought back by the skinny monkey.
Yuan Qi has been seriously ill since he received the imperial edict on the third day of the first lunar month, and it is still unknown whether he has recovered.
Zhou Chang forcibly separated a pair of mandarin ducks, which was the biggest guilt in her heart. She simply threw the longevity noodles aside and couldn't swallow it anymore.
From now on, she no longer had the face to see Yuan Qi.
Because of this incident, Zhou Chang locked himself in his study early this morning, secretly determined to find a way to resolve the matter.
But before she could figure out a solution, Duofu and Duobao came to report, "Your Majesty, Master Yuan wants to see you."
Yuan Yu?
Zhou Chang was so startled that he almost fell off his chair.
It is too late to avoid the Yuan family now. No matter how many times I think of the Yuan family, I dare not think about the attitude of the Yuan family.
I didn't expect Yuan Yu to come to me in person.
I helped Yuan Qi sincerely at the beginning, but now I am ruining Yuan Qi's good deeds. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?
Moreover, in the eyes of the world, Prince Yi Fengming had unclear motives at the beginning, but what has he become now?
