The reason why Mr. Wei gave the two children a day off today was mainly because Mrs. Qin was going to take Qin Hexuan to visit the Princess of Rui.
Last time she stewed deer heart and sent it to Princess Rui, but the Prince Rui’s mansion was closed to visitors.
The things were delivered, but the person was not seen.
Mrs. Qin became more and more worried, fearing that something serious had happened to Princess Rui.
So she quickly sent a visiting card to Prince Rui's Mansion, saying that she had obtained some high-quality blood swallows and planned to send them to Prince Rui's wife.
Prince Rui's palace has been closed to visitors for the past two days.
Before Prince Rui could find out the whereabouts of his child, something happened to the princess.
He was so angry that a big blister appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was very uncomfortable for him to talk, drink water and eat. He was also worried about the princess's health.
When Prince Rui heard Han Qijing's report, his first reaction was to refuse.
"It's already late, who has time to entertain guests? Just turn it down!"
"yes!"
Just as Han Qijing was about to go down, he was stopped by Prince Rui again.
"Who did you say sent the visiting card?"
"It's the princess's sister, Madam Qin." Han Qijing quickly stopped and presented the visiting card to Prince Rui with both hands.
Prince Rui frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it, let her come."
Madam Qin had just sent over stewed deer heart, and today she sent over blood swallows. She must have heard about the princess' illness.
The two sisters have always had a good relationship and often visit each other.
Now the princess is heartbroken about her child. If Madam Qin comes to talk to her, maybe she can help her feel better.
After receiving the news from Prince Rui's Mansion, Mrs. Qin first breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that something happened in the palace that day, so it was closed to visitors. Since I was not turned away this time, it seems that my sister should be fine.
Mrs. Qin quickly asked someone to get the things that had been prepared long ago, and took Qin Hexuan by car to Prince Rui's mansion, fearing that something unexpected would happen if they were a step late.
After all, that is the prince's palace. Even if Prince Rui is a non-confrontational person, there are some things in the royal family that cannot be told to outsiders.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth this time. After entering the palace from the corner gate, I changed into two sedan chairs and went directly to the bedroom of Princess Rui.
Hongying was already standing at the door to greet the mother and son.
Mrs. Qin got out of the sedan chair and saw Hongying in plain clothes, with her eyes still red and swollen from crying. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and her legs went weak.
Fortunately, Qin Hexuan was quick to help her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Mom, be careful."
"Mrs. Qin, be careful." Hongying also hurried forward to help her.
Madam Qin grabbed Hongying's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, sister..."
Hongying then realized that Madam Qin might have misunderstood, and quickly explained in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, although the queen is ill, she is fine.
"It's just that Madam Xue passed away a few days ago. Her Majesty, considering Madam En's long-standing friendship, asked us to dress more simply."
Nanny Xue was the wet nurse of Princess Rui, so Madam Qin was naturally no stranger to her.
When she suddenly heard that Nanny Xue was gone, she was immediately shocked.
"I saw Madam Xue a few days ago and she seemed fine, so why..."
Hongying didn't say anything and even avoided his gaze.
Madam Qin instantly realized that this was not something she should be asking about, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Mother passed away early, and my sister and Nanny Xue have always had a very close relationship.
"Madame Xue passed away so suddenly, no wonder my sister fell ill."
Because Princess Rui had instructed that no one should mention the child, Hongying followed Madam Qin's lead and said, "The imperial physician also said that the Madam fell ill due to excessive grief. So the deer heart that Madam sent earlier has been very effective for the Madam, and she's sleeping much better now."
"That's great, I brought all the remaining deer hearts from home today.
"This isn't grown in the Deer Park. It's wild in the mountains. It's definitely more effective."
When she heard that they were all wild deer hearts, Hongying's eyes lit up instantly.
There aren't many deer in the mountains around the capital, so it's hard to find them when you need them suddenly.
"This servant would like to thank Madam Qin on behalf of the Empress."
As she spoke, Hongying brought Madam Qin and Qin Hexuan into the bedroom.
Qin Hexuan was no longer a child, so he was left outside.
Mrs. Qin went into the inner room to visit first.
"Sister!" Seeing Princess Rui half-lying on the bed, Mrs. Qin almost burst into tears.
She walked quickly to the bedside, grasped the hand of Princess Rui, and said with a sob, "We sisters haven't seen each other for just a few days, how could you be so haggard?
"I know that my sister and Aunt Xue have a deep relationship, but no matter how sad you are, you must take care of your own health.
"If Madam Xue knew how heartbroken my sister was over her departure, she would be restless even in her grave."
When Princess Rui heard Madam Qin mention Nanny Xue, she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe.
Ever since she read Nanny Xue's suicide note and learned the whole story, Princess Rui has been in endless self-torture.
What made her most uncomfortable was that in the whole incident, she couldn't find a single villain whom she could blame or vent her emotions on.
The child was indeed lifeless after being born, so there was no problem for Madam Xue to hand the child over to the Yin-Yang woman for burial.
The Yin-Yang Po didn't know the child's identity, so she didn't send the child back immediately after he woke up. In fact, she didn't have any malicious intentions. She even helped find a family to adopt the child.
