Zhaohui Hall.

Gao leaned on the couch, covering her chest and crying out in pain.

Hearing the noise outside, she screamed even louder, but when she saw Xiao Dezi leading Doctor Xun in, Gao was stunned.

"Why is it you? Where is the prince?"

Xiao Dezi bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince said he was tired from riding today and won't be here. He will come back tomorrow. His Highness is concerned about your health and has asked me to invite the Imperial Physician to take your pulse."

Gao's eyes were full of anger, but she did not lose her temper on the spot. She lay down again and stretched out her hand.

Shu Qing put a handkerchief on him, and the imperial physician then stepped forward to take his pulse.

Doctor Xun has served in the palace for many years, so how could he not know the twists and turns involved? Even if Gao's pulse was healthy, he would make up a few bad words and then prescribe a few prescriptions to strengthen her body.

"Liang Di's chest pain is a condition she's had since she was born, but it's nothing serious. As long as she takes her medicine on time, it won't flare up."

Shu Qing took out a bag of silver from the box and handed it to Doctor Xun, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor."

"You're welcome, young lady."

Doctor Xun bowed again, then left with Xiao Dezi.

But not long after they left, they heard the sound of something being smashed coming from inside the house.

Xiao Dezi sighed helplessly, and when he turned around, he saw Doctor Xun handing him the purse that Gao had just rewarded him.

"Oh, Doctor Xun, you are so polite."

Doctor Xun laughed cheerfully, "I have been so grateful to you for supporting me over the past two years. I can say that without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will never forget your kindness."

He had served in the palace for many years but had no chance of promotion.

By chance, he cured Xiao Dezi's leg disease. From then on, whenever the Eastern Palace summoned a royal physician, Xiao Dezi would ask him to take his pulse.

In less than two years, he jumped from a sixth-rank medical officer to a third-rank deputy medical envoy.

Fortunately, his medical skills were already superb, otherwise even with Xiao Dezi's support, he would not have been promoted so quickly. Therefore, every time his master gave him a reward, he would give it all to Xiao Dezi intact.

But Xiao Dezi was not a greedy person. Every time Doctor Xun gave him a reward, he would only take one third of it.

In this way, he would not offend Doctor Xun and he could also earn some money for himself.

Because the prince did not come, Gao got very angry and smashed everything that could be smashed in the bedroom.

Shu Qing didn't dare to go forward. She waited until Gao had run out of strength before ordering the palace maids to come and clean up.

Gao sat on the couch, tears streaming down her face from grievance. "Before, whenever I said I was feeling unwell, the Crown Prince would come to see me no matter how busy he was. But ever since that little bitch Fu entered the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince no longer dotes on me like he used to."

Shu Qing accepted the milk tea offered by the palace maid and couldn't help but console him, "Master, you're worrying too much. His Highness is simply tired from riding and feels too lazy to move. If His Highness didn't favor you, why would he entrust you with all the affairs of the Eastern Palace? The expenses of our Zhaohui Palace are even higher than those of the Yaoguang Palace. When it comes to favor, who can compare to you?"

Gao took the milk tea and sighed, "That being said, I always feel that the prince's heart changes too quickly."

Shu Qing smiled, "He is the crown prince, the future emperor. There will only be more people in the palace in the future. If you can give birth to a son or daughter, with a child as a bond, the crown prince will naturally not forget you."

Love is like floating clouds that disappear at any time, but for this child, it is real and true.

How could Gao not know such a simple truth? "You think I'm not anxious, but I just can't get pregnant."

"I heard that there's a doctor named Fang in Renshoutang, a folk hospital. He has a prescription for treating female pregnancy. How about asking Kongming to get a prescription tomorrow?"

Gao looked at Shuqing suspiciously, "Can it work?"

"I heard that the Crown Princess also secretly took Doctor Fang's prescription to get pregnant. If it didn't work, why would so many people beg for help?"

Hearing this, Gao's eyes lit up with hope again, "Early tomorrow morning, ask Kong Ming to go get Fang Zi. Remember to prepare plenty of gifts."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

Let’s talk about Xiao Dezi returning to Yunyan Pavilion. Zhao Yuancheng and Fu Qianyu had just finished dinner.

"What did the imperial physician say?"

"To reply to your Highness, the Imperial Physician Xun said that Gao Liangdi is not seriously ill. It's just due to the fluctuating seasons. She just needs to take a few doses of medicine to recuperate and she will be fine."

"Got it. Go on down."

The door was closed again. Fu Qianyu said nothing, but just sat on the couch and played with the glass lamp quietly.

Her skin, as white as jade, reflected the crystal clear glass lamp, which was indescribably attractive. Zhao Yuancheng squinted and looked at her for a long time, and his eyes fell on the phoenix-necked white jade pipa not far away.

"The moonlight is so beautiful today, why don't you play a song for me?"

"yes."

Fu Qianyu smiled faintly, then held the pipa horizontally. After testing every note, she began to slowly pluck the strings. Her jade fingers moved lightly, and the clear sound slowly flowed out.

Zhao Yuancheng leaned on the couch, his fingers placed on his knees, slowly beating the rhythm with the notes, his face full of enjoyment.

Fu Qianyu had learned to play the pipa for several years in modern times. After traveling through time, she inherited the original owner's memories, so she played the pipa naturally with ease.

When the song ended, Zhao Yuancheng couldn't help but clap his hands, his eyes full of admiration, "I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. Your piano skills have become more and more refined."

Fu Qianyu smiled softly, stood up, and placed the pipa on the stand. Then she leaned against Zhao Yuancheng and said, "Your Highness's attainments in music are unmatched in all of Dajing. I am just showing off my skills in front of you."
