Xiao Feng fell into a coma again and did not wake up for two days and two nights.
In addition to crying and guarding the empress dowager, Wan Jinlan also had to come back to take care of him.
"Princess, the prince is in a bad condition. If he continues like this, he will die of exhaustion."
The imperial physician was worried.
Wan Jinlan said, "Give me the prescription you wrote."
Although the imperial physician didn't know what she was going to do, he gave her the prescription after some hesitation.
Of course Wan Jinlan couldn't understand the prescription, but she was doubtful and didn't trust the people in the palace.
In the evening, the palace maid who brought the medicine put down the bowl, and Wan Jinlan drove everyone out and poured the medicine into the flowerpot.
Since the medicine is useless, don't drink it for now. It's better to eat some porridge.
The next day, in the room prepared for the female members of the Taiji Palace to rest temporarily, Wan Jinlan gave the prescription to his aunt.
"Aunt, please find a trustworthy doctor to see if this prescription is effective. It would be best if we could get the dregs of the medicine to examine."
When the aunt and niece talked, they both held tea, covered their lips with their sleeves, and spoke in low voices.
Concubine Wan frowned: "It's useless for you to check Prince Qi's health."
Wan Jinlan knew this, she just wanted to use this incident to find out the emperor's attitude towards King Qi.
"Can Doctor Hu be on duty these two days?"
Doctor Hu knew Xiao Feng's situation best, as he was originally arranged by the Queen Mother to work in Prince Qi's Mansion.
After Wan Jinlan explained Xiao Feng's symptoms, she continued, "Aunt, please inform Doctor Hu and ask him to prescribe a new medicine for the prince. I'll have to trouble you with the preparation of the medicine in the future."
The imperial pharmacy in the palace had to record every time it took medicine, which was not easy. It was also not easy for Concubine Wan to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.
The aunt and niece exchanged some words before going their separate ways.
She poured out three doses of medicine in a row, and what made her feel relieved was that Xiao Feng's condition did not worsen.
My aunt was very quick and sent her a bowl of medicine in the evening under the pretext of bringing her some food.
There is a layer of steaming black chicken soup on the top, and a secret button on the bottom, which contains brown medicine.
Anything sent to Feiyu Palace had to be inspected by the eunuchs on duty. Although it did not restrict her freedom, it was not that convenient in the palace after all.
"Doctor Hu said that according to what you said, the King of Qi is extremely weak and cannot be nourished. Without nourishment, he will become weaker and his health will not improve. The prescription is a normal one to replenish qi and blood, so there is no problem with it."
"But yesterday I managed to have the palace servants find the dregs of the medicine for the King of Qi. Doctor Hu examined it and said that the dosage should be doubled."
Wan Jinlan didn't expect that her guess turned out to be true.
She was a little discouraged. The poison had been cured and she was almost recovered. Now that Xiao Feng had entered the palace, someone was secretly attacking him.
With her biggest supporter, the Empress Dowager, gone, and now facing the Emperor, what would be the consequences if she continued to oppose him?
The emperor is so petty, why does he have to kill Xiao Feng!
As smart as Concubine Wan was, although she couldn't believe it, she could still guess who in the palace was plotting against the King of Qi.
Although they were brothers from the same mother, the emperor attacked the King of Qi. She could not think of any other reason except the struggle for power.
When the aunt and niece were silent for a while, Concubine Chen Shu, with her hairpins and rings in disarray, rushed in from outside the hall.
Concubine Chen raised her hand to slap Concubine Wan.
Wan Jinlan grabbed her arm.
Wan Qin'er said with a cold face: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Concubine Chen Shu's eyes were swollen, her face was as pale as a ghost, and she spoke with hatred, "If it weren't for you, how could my son have gotten into trouble on the battlefield!"
Wan Jinlan saw that although the female relatives sitting far away did not dare to look here openly, they were obviously listening attentively. She winked at the eunuch who came with Concubine Chen Shu.
This eunuch couldn't stop his master, but he was a very alert person.
The Empress Dowager's mourning hall is just outside. If people see Concubine Chen like this, wouldn't that give others an advantage?
The eunuch sent everyone out, and the hall became much more spacious.
Concubine Chen Shu was like a madman, "You must have done it on purpose. In the past, you deliberately kept your distance from the Third Prince in order to let me down! You have such a cruel heart, Wan Qin'er!"
The sound was sharp and piercing, and could still be heard clearly even outside the hall.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are so rude in front of the Empress Dowager's spirit." Although Concubine Wan could understand Concubine Chen Shu's mood at the moment, she also felt that she was wronged.
Wan Jinlan stepped forward, pressed Concubine Chen Shu down on the chair, and covered her mouth.
"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. His Majesty knows that you caused a disturbance in the mourning hall, but he still hasn't punished you? Even if you abandon yourself, you should still think about the Chen family."
Seeing that Concubine Chen Shu had calmed down a little, Wan Jinlan let go of her hand.
Concubine Chen Shu muttered in a daze: "My son is gone, why do you still care about so many things?"
Her dream of becoming the queen mother was also shattered. Who could be more miserable than her!
If Xiao Minghuan hadn't asked to go to Jiangnan, her son would still be fine now!
Concubine Wan sighed, "You're looking for the wrong person to settle the score with. A few days ago, a new maid came to Concubine Lai's palace. She used to serve Prince Rui."
Concubine Chen Shu was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Concubine Wan said helplessly, "Although there is news of Prince Shun's death, there is no body, so it is unknown whether he is dead or not. Concubine Lai was listless a few days ago, but she has suddenly recovered recently. As for the maid from Prince Rui's Palace, she is under very strict protection in Concubine Lai's palace. I can't find out more about her, and I am too lazy to investigate. If you are interested, go and investigate it yourself."
Concubine Chen Shu's expression changed from grief and anger to vigilance. "Are you setting a trap for me again?"
Concubine Wan held her forehead with her hand, "What can I gain by deceiving you?"
She whispered in Concubine Chen's ear, "The Third Prince and I are now at loggerheads. If he gains power, I will suffer no good consequences. And yet you still regard me as your enemy. Isn't that what pleases His Majesty?"
Concubine Wan straightened Concubine Chen Shu's palace skirt and said, "Instead of pestering me, why not send someone to Jiangnan to find someone?"
After the atmosphere between the two men eased, the emperor came in from outside with a gloomy face and brought Li Fu.
"Shu Fei, you are getting more and more daring now. You dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother's spirit."
Concubine Chen Shu's expression changed instantly, and she knelt before Emperor Jian'an crying, "Your Majesty, please save Prince Shun. This is my only son..."
Concubine Wan tried to make amends for Concubine Chen Shu, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Queen Mother passed away, and Sister Chen was extremely sad. Furthermore, Prince Shun was in trouble, and she lost her mind for a moment. If the Queen Mother were still alive, she wouldn't blame Sister Shu."
"You two are like sisters now."
Concubine Wan lowered her head and said nothing, while Concubine Chen Shu cried softly.
The emperor looked at Wan Jinlan and asked, "Is the Prince of Qi feeling better these past two days?"
Wan Jinlan sneered in his heart. He knew everything, but he still pretended to ask her.
Wiping away tears, she said, "Your Majesty, the prince is getting weaker and weaker, and the imperial physician says the situation is not optimistic."
The emperor sighed, "My mother was always thinking about my brother Feng when she was alive. Now...Alas..."
After the emperor left, Wan Jinlan returned to Feiyu Palace.
In Feiyu Palace, Xiao Feng was lying on the couch with his eyes open.
