Chapter 103 First Move

Dr. Liu's medical skills are indeed excellent, and he is much bolder than Physician Jiang.

After examining the twelfth prince's cheeks once again, Imperial Physician Liu decisively administered drastic medicine.

The prescription was handed over to other imperial physicians for preparation, and Chief Physician Liu personally squeezed the abscess from the twelfth prince's wound.

When Consort Wu saw the cut below the twelfth prince's ear, she was so frightened that she almost lost her balance...

The wound was quickly cleaned, and then the crushed Guanyin thorns were applied.

The twelfth prince, who had already fainted from the pain, let out a groan...

Once the medicine was ready and served, Doctor Liu personally fed it to the twelfth prince.

After replacing the 12th prince's wound with freshly crushed Guanyin thorns once again, Imperial Physician Liu suddenly noticed that the wound seemed less red and swollen.

"The Guanyin thorn worked!" Doctor Liu was overjoyed.

"Continue the treatment!" Emperor Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in Canglang Courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

Those eunuchs and palace servants were almost in tears.

Is my life spared...?

Ruyi stood quietly in the corner, watching all of this.

Just as Master of Ceremonies Song had said, Consort Wu was wary and didn't believe what she had said...

Thinking of this, Ruyi suddenly knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to be aware of."

Emperor Xiao Xuan was in a great mood, but he was startled when Ruyi suddenly knelt down again.

"Is there anything else? Speak up!"

"When I was a child, I vaguely heard the old people in the village say that some cases of mumps are contagious, just like the plague."

But some people say that as long as it is handled properly, it will not spread. "Ruyi said softly.

Although Ruyi's voice was soft, everyone in Canglang Courtyard heard it.

After Dr. Liu finished applying the Guanyin thorns to the twelfth prince again, he quickly added, seeing Ruyi's words.

"There is such a saying, but it can still be prevented if you are careful."

I will prescribe a herbal medicine for Your Majesty as a preventative measure shortly.

In addition, this courtyard also needs to be fumigated with vinegar.

Emperor Xiao Xuan nodded, then looked at the sleeping twelfth prince.

"The Imperial Concubine has instructed that the servants below should take good care of her!"

...

However, when it came to arranging who would serve her, Consort Wu lost her temper again.

Everyone witnessed the severity of the twelfth prince's mumps.

In addition, Ruyi had just mentioned that mumps could be contagious, so both the palace servants and eunuchs were on edge, fearing that Consort Wu would name them to take care of the twelfth prince.

The twelfth prince contracted mumps, and the Imperial Hospital mobilized almost all its physicians. In the end, he was saved thanks to a folk remedy from the Eastern Palace.

If these palace servants and eunuchs were to get involved...

Haha, then they'll definitely just drag him out and bury him...

Therefore, no one was willing to take care of the twelfth prince at this time.

Seeing that the usually enthusiastic eunuchs and palace servants were now all bowing their heads and remaining silent, Consort Wu's anger grew even stronger.

"Was I too good to you before?"

When there are rewards, they all act like cats attracted to fish.

"Now that we need you all, you're all shrinking back."

Consort Wu was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table.

The pair of jade bracelets on her wrists almost shattered...

Princess Shou Kang, who had been sitting by the twelfth prince's bedside, also frowned.

How can people be expected to take care of you wholeheartedly if you force them to?

"Mother, I'll stay and take care of Twelve!" Princess Shou Kang suddenly said.

"Lan Qian? You..." Consort Wu looked at Princess Shou Kang with some surprise.

Princess Shou Kang didn't even glance at Consort Wu.

"Mother! Why are you saying so much? Actually, the best thing would be for you to take care of her yourself!"

I know what you're thinking. Your father will be visiting you, and you're afraid it will affect him.

"Alright then, I'll take care of him!" Princess Shou Kang said, wiping the sweat from the twelfth prince's forehead with a handkerchief.

“But…mumps is contagious!” Consort Wu said softly.

Princess Shou Kang snorted.

"If it gets infected, it's just mumps! Besides, it's not necessarily contagious."

Even if I contract mumps, aren't there ready-made remedies?

I have always been in good health. If I feel even slightly unwell, I just ask the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine for me.

At only twelve years old, having suffered so much, he must be longing to see his family.

I watched Twelve grow up, so I feel at ease leaving him here.

Someone, prepare a room for me to stay in, everyone else, please leave!

Originally, the people serving in Canglang Courtyard just needed to do their own jobs; in short, this was all your own responsibility!

Princess Shou Kang then gestured to her palace servants to tidy up the room.

Consort Wu opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.

When Emperor Xiao Xuan learned that it was Princess Shou Kang who was taking care of the twelfth prince, he also sighed.

"Lan Qian is much better than those others!"

...

Song Zhimian also directed everyone in Zixiao Pavilion to change their clothes strictly according to the imperial physician's requirements and to fumigate the courtyard with vinegar.

Xiao Jingjue, who had recovered completely, was locked in the room and not allowed to come out.

When Xiao Huaijin arrived, having already heard the news, he could only speak to Song Zhimian through the door.

"His Majesty must know that the people around the Crown Prince went to Miaoyin Pavilion to remove the Guanyin Thorn last night."

It's better for us to proactively expose this matter than to wait for His Majesty to find out and find out!

"Anyway, it's just a folk remedy, whether we use it or not... that's none of our business." Song Zhimin's face was still covered by a veil!

Xiao Huaijin listened and nodded.

“You did the right thing. We can’t hide what we used.”

Rather than waiting for Father to find out, it's better to take the initiative and tell him!

Anyway, Consort Wu's performance yesterday made the Emperor quite angry.

Didn't Father Emperor always want to see brothers be friendly and respectful?

"We've done our part, that's all. As for other things, we don't care!" Xiao Huaijin nodded in agreement.

He was quite startled when he learned early this morning that there had been a commotion at the Eastern Palace all night.

Fortunately, Song Zhimian was quick-witted and observant, and noticed Jue Ge'er's strange behavior in time.

otherwise……

The place in chaos right now is the East Palace!

"Hey, Song Zhimian, you've done a great job again this time. I'm going to reward you with something!"

"Think carefully about what you want!" Xiao Huaijin said seriously.

Song Zhimian thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out what she wanted.

"Okay! I'll try to think about it!"

Xiao Huaijin was about to say something when he saw Lian Qiao carrying a box and walking towards Zixiao Pavilion...

"Master of Ceremonies Song, I've made some medicine packets here."
