The First Intoxication

  "Gurgle... water... water... the water is up to my nose, give me a life ring quickly..."

  A man in a bright yellow silk shirt was on the bed, waving his hands and kicking his legs against the bed board. The big bed creaked and groaned, the quilt flew up, the white canopy fluttered, and the comfortable bed was transformed into a turbulent sea with waves rising and falling!

  The sleepwalker's face was pale, with his eyebrows twisted and his eyes still closed. A black liquid burst out of his mouth, covering half of his face, and quickly flowed to the back of his ear, neck, and stained his bright yellow shirt into a black collar. Some even flowed into his nostrils, causing him extreme discomfort!

  Sour, astringent and bitter!

  A palace-dressed girl with bright eyes and white teeth stood beside the bed, holding a half-bowl of black medicinal liquid in her hand, staring at the man on the bed in shock, frightened to the point of losing her composure!

  She just fed the prince medicine while he was unconscious, and she managed to get half a bowl into him, but didn't expect that all of it would end up in his mouth instead of going down his throat. Then the prince said something incoherent in his sleep and sprayed all the medicine out of his mouth.

  "Crown Prince, Crown Prince..." The shouting on the bed had brought over a young girl dressed in simple yet elegant attire, with a pure and noble aura.

  She thought it was the prince who woke up, her voice filled with surprise!

  But when she rushed to the bedside and saw the black medicine liquid coming out of the crown prince's nostrils, and the stiffened body of the maid who was feeding him beside her, she realized what had happened!

  She didn't panic, hastily sat down at the head of the bed, stretched out to support the back of the prince, and lifted his upper body up. The medicine that had been poured into his nostrils flowed out, and the girl quickly and gently wiped away the medicine from his face with her sleeve.

  "Quickly get some wet wipes," she said.

  The girl in palace attire next to him suddenly woke up, realizing she had made a big mistake and knelt down in terror: "Forgive me, Crown Prince's consort, I...I..."

  "It's not your fault." The young lady known as the Crown Princess forgave her maid with a firm tone and calmly ordered, "Bring me a wet towel."

  The crown princess took the towel without looking back and wiped off the medicine liquid from the crown prince's face!

  When Wu Chuzhen opened his eyes, he felt that he was being held in someone's arms. The person holding him smelled fragrant and had a soft body. The two balls pressing against him told him that the person holding him was a woman!

  She looked up to see a surprised and lovely face, an oval-shaped face with small mouth, nose and big eyes. This face was too familiar, the pure round face had a hint of youthfulness, completely lacking the mature charm of a woman in her thirties. However, how could Wu Chuzhen mistake this face?!

  "Little sister..." he shouted.

  The woman in front of him is Wu Chuzhen's younger sister-in-law. Although she is younger in terms of generation, she is actually one year younger than Wu Chuzhen and is the result of her village elder grandfather showing off his youthful vigor after having a grandson!

  The crown princess's eyes turned red, and clear tears fell down. Overjoyed to the point of crying: "Crown prince, you've finally woken up..."

  "Wake up, wake up!" he said with a smile.

  Although Wu Chuzhen had bathed with her younger brother when they were young, she refused to be overly intimate with him since her early teens.

  She not only held him in her arms, but also hugged him tightly, and the two bodies had more contact area, the meat ball on his back was even more fierce, soft, sweet, and fragrant!

  But Wu Chuzhen still noticed: "Ta... Taizi? Little sister, what joke are you playing again?"

  His eyes wandered elsewhere, and this glance was even more astonishing. The first thing that entered his line of sight was a layer upon layer of snow-white gauze curtains, layered on top of each other, with some hollowed-out intertwined peony flowers on the curtains.

  At this time, the curtains were rolled up, and except for a young girl sitting at the head of the bed who looked ten years younger, there were several palace-dressed girls with tense expressions in front of the bed. Behind the palace-dressed girls stood two men wearing green clothes with clean faces. This group of people dressed in film costumes surrounded Wu Chuzhen, making him feel uneasy.

  Moreover, Wu Chuzhen was affectionate with Xiao Jie in front of them, and her face immediately turned red.

  He asked with embarrassment: "Little girl, is this a movie shoot?"

  "What?" The crown prince's consort was taken aback by the question.

  "Impossible! Our village elder, Old Master, would never agree to let me go out and earn some extra money?"

  "Huh?"

  "Haha, I was drunk yesterday and don't know what happened, why did my little sister suddenly drag me to a film shoot?"

  "Huh?"

  "Never mind, little sister I'm asking you how much salary do you get for filming this? You can't take it all, I also need to live and date girls, these things cost money too. And recently I've been wanting to collect a set of actress cards, hehe!"

  "Ah?" The crown prince's consort looked at the crown prince speaking nonsense, wondering what he was thinking of, and his face suddenly turned pale!

  "The old minister has seen the crown prince, has seen the crown princess!" an aged voice rang out.

  Wu Chuzhen and the Crown Prince's consort looked over together, the crowd of anciently dressed men and women parted to make a path, an old man with a white beard standing below.

  The crown princess smiled and politely said: "Royal Doctor Wang, the Crown Prince has just woken up, thank you for your trouble!"

  "This is an old man's own business."

  The crown prince's consort helped Wu Chuzhen lie down, stepped aside, and the old man came forward to take his pulse. As soon as he touched his wrist, his eyes closed, and he didn't open them again, pretending to be asleep in a very realistic way. In Wu Chuzhen's opinion, this actor was so good that he could even use taking his pulse as an excuse to take a beauty sleep.

  The imperial physician took his pulse, and neither the crown prince's consort nor the many palace maids dared to make a sound, the vast palace was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

  Wu Chu thought to himself, it seems this play is still being recorded, so he might as well cooperate. So from time to time, he would cough out a sound, his face contorting in pain, making others anxious.

  But he was spinning his eyes around, and this look felt that the movie was really luxurious and high-end! Although the actors in front of him were all newcomers who had never appeared on the screen in Wu Chuzhen's eyes, they gave people a natural and realistic feeling as if they were not acting, whether it was the sleepy imperial physician, the humble palace maid eunuch, or the noble little girl, making people exclaim that their acting skills were really high!

  There is also a scene here, which should be a certain palace in the Forbidden City. It's very big, with beams tens of meters high from the ground, not to mention the roof. The interior is not glittering gold, but simply decorated, yet that rich and noble atmosphere can be smelled even if you just sniff it, and even the pillars are carved with dancing golden dragons, making people feel a breath of imperial aura at first glance!

  There are also various props, just like the clothes worn by the palace maids and eunuchs in front of us. At a glance, you can feel the high quality and grade of the fabric. The clothes worn by the little princess are even more impressive. The little princess didn't wear makeup, with a natural and simple appearance, while the palace maids' makeup was obvious at first sight that they didn't use mainstream cosmetics from society, no glitter powder, no false eyelashes, giving off an ancient charm.

  The furniture and decorations around are also elegant and luxurious, and the style of the furniture is different from that in Qing dramas, with strange shapes. For example, a short and wide stool, if I remember correctly, it's called a hu bed, and a similarly not tall but exquisitely crafted table, on which there are some strange ceramic bottles, white glaze double dragon ear bottles. Not very white, if an outsider would call it yellow glaze. Two slender handles, reaching to the mouth of the bottle is a simple dragon head.

  What's more important is Wu Chuzhen's own feeling, he is now acting as a sick crown prince, and doesn't know how the director did it, his whole body is filled with a sense of powerlessness, his weak and soft body is like he has been seriously ill!

  But after looking around, how come I couldn't find any camera lenses or staff?

  "Have you seen the crown prince's consort? I wonder how the crown prince is doing now?" Another white-bearded old man walked in from outside and asked with concern.

  The crown prince and he whispered a few words, his face stiffened. The imperial physician who was taking Wu Chutian's pulse woke up from his doze, retreated to the side of the later imperial physician, made a please gesture, then that white-bearded later imperial physician took over the position of the previous imperial physician.

  But he didn't close his eyes and fall asleep like the previous imperial physician after feeling his pulse, instead he stared at him with wide eyes, making Wu Chutian's heart feel hairy, wanting to turn his head away but afraid of ruining the movie, so he could only exchange a deep gaze with him, however soon couldn't hold on anymore, his line of sight kept sliding down until it stopped at the garlic nose of the white bearded man. Wu Chutian thought that it must have been the freckles on the garlic nose that increased the friction and brought the car to a stop!

  The little girl didn't know what she was saying to the doctor in front of her, but then heard "hysteria", and then the little girl burst into tears, Wu Chuzhen became anxious.

  He pushed away the garlic nose with one hand, wanting to rush to Xiaogu's side, but his arm was weak and he fell onto the bed with a thud. For a moment, the palace maid, eunuch, imperial physician, and Xiaogu were all in an uproar, until Wu Chutian was once again held in Xiaogu's arms, and order was restored in the palace.

  Two white beards were discussing something, then Garlic Nose came over and said a sentence to Little Girl, then took out a wooden box, from which he pulled out a long silver needle!

  No way!

  The garlic head nose didn't give him time to think about resisting, the needle was already in his forehead, making Wu Chuzhen break out in a cold sweat.

  This is not over yet, he took out a longer silver needle, this needle was too terrifying, its length can pierce through a human head and still have enough to tie a knot, the thickest part was as thick as a toothpick!

  "Stop, do you want to murder someone? Filming isn't about risking your lives like this. Even Saw knows to use silicone needles, are you guys trying to use real knives and guns?!?" Wu Chuzhen had had enough!

  Murder!

  As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. The garlic nose quickly explained: "Your Highness, I used acupuncture to relieve your body's qi and remove the evil qi from your body to cure your illness. There is no ulterior motive, please don't misunderstand and be prejudiced against doctors!"

  "I'm not acting anymore, where's the director? I don't want my salary, let's go, little sister!"

  The crown prince's consort had red eyes, hugged Wu Chutian tightly, and comforted him in a choked voice: "Crown Prince, don't be agitated, Cao Dianyu is doing it for your own good!"

  "With a needle as thick as that, it's going to cost someone their life!" Wu Chu's emotions calmed down a bit. It turned out that the garlic-nosed man was called Cao Dianyu, I've got you remembered!

  "I don't know..." The little girl said a deceitful word.

  But Wu Chuzhen saw the thick needle coming and shouted loudly, making it impossible for the imperial physician to give the injection. After a long stalemate, Xiaogu's heart softened and pleaded with him: "Caodian Yu, let's just forget about it."

  "But the Crown Prince's eyes are filled with confusion, and he doesn't recognize any of us officials. This is indeed a case of losing one's mind. If this illness is not treated early, I fear that everything will be forgotten, and our great Tang Dynasty will be in danger!" said the man surnamed Cao with an uneasy tone.

  "But the prince clearly remembers my nickname, doesn't that prove that the prince isn't suffering from lovesickness?" The crown princess argued.

  "This..." The surname Cao hesitated for a moment, "Then let me ask."

  After finishing speaking, Cao looked at Wu Chuzhen.
