Chapter 95: Flying to the Top
Zhong Heng was overthinking it.
When Yu Shi invited the Imperial Physician to a banquet, he did indeed take the patient's pulse.
"how?"
Yu Shiyan lowered his eyes, his whole being exuding a chilling aura.
"Curing illness is like pulling silk from a cocoon. Your Highness's ailment will last at most half a year, and at least three months. It will always require proper care, and the medicine cannot be stopped."
The imperial physician stroked his beard, withdrew his hand, walked back to the table, wrote a prescription, and turned to hand it to Zhong Heng.
"After the prescription is copied, a copy will be sent to the Yuan residence. This is also Miss Yuan's idea."
"Need not."
Seeing that Yu Shiyan refused, the Imperial Physician was somewhat troubled, "This prescription contains some rather precious medicinal herbs, I'm afraid..."
"It's alright, Zhong Heng. Send the Imperial Physician back to rest."
The imperial physician, not wanting to interfere further, could only bow and leave, secretly trembling with fear.
First, I was intimidated by his aura; second, the pulse diagnosis revealed something unusual.
This person does indeed suffer from deficiency and cold, but other aspects are hard to say. After all, he is of imperial blood. Even though the nine sons of the dragon are all different, he is still cunning.
No wonder she was able to survive in the deep palace.
The imperial physician, who had been walking along with his hands tucked in his pockets, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He shouldn't have... offended this unassuming seventh prince before, right?
——
"Hmm... Your Highness, please be gentle..."
Shen Ruolan was intimately cuddling with Yu Yuanchao in the incense-filled room when a maid knocked on the door. The knocking was urgent, as if the sky were about to fall.
"What is it!"
Yu Yuanchao raised his head, his lustful eyes filled with dissatisfaction, and angrily shouted at the outside world.
"Your Highness, Miss Qingzhi says she feels tightness in her chest and is suffering from morning sickness, so she can't eat anything. She would like Your Highness to come and take a look."
The maid's voice came through the thick curtain, and her few words chilled Shen Ruolan's heart.
She gently pushed Yu Yuanchao, wrapped herself in the brocade quilt, and wiped away her tears with her back to him. "Your Highness, please go. Ruolan is alright."
"Alright, I'll go take a look and be right back."
Yu Shiyan held her hand and spoke with great conviction, but once he left, he never returned.
Shen Ruolan lay on the couch, her eyes wide open, having not slept all night.
The sky outside was overcast, and it seemed like dawn was still far off. She felt a bit gloomy, estimating that it was past 5 a.m. She didn't even put on her undergarments before walking step by step to the polished bronze mirror.
The woman in the mirror was voluptuous and graceful, and the ambiguous red marks on her skin all indicated that she was favored.
Even so, her prince brother was still seduced.
Hearing the commotion, Xi Yue, who was waiting outside the door, immediately lifted the curtain and came in to serve. Seeing that she was naked and covered in marks of lovemaking, she was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head.
"Come and help me get dressed."
Xi Yue had been serving the Shen family for a long time. A month ago, when the Crown Prince left the palace to establish his own residence, the Shen family sent her to serve him.
"yes."
Xi Yue responded cautiously, still keeping her eyes closed and not daring to meet her gaze.
"Has Your Highness come out of her courtyard?"
After letting Xi Yue finish her makeup, Shen Ruolan sat down in the main seat, slowly poured some hot tea into her hands, and took a sip.
"Not yet." With that, Xi Yue lowered her head even further.
Ever since Qingzhi flew up to the top of the branch and became a maid, everyone in the entire courtyard felt insecure.
There were plenty of people with their own ideas, but Qingzhi was the first to try it, and she was also very fertile; otherwise, her master would have dragged her away and beaten her to death long ago.
Moreover, this is considered a scandalous affair. According to His Majesty's original intention, he wanted to keep the Crown Prince by his side for a few more years.
