Imperial Physician Lin also arrived at Fengyi Palace. Seeing that the Empress looked unwell, he felt very uneasy.
The Queen ordered Nanny Zhang to close the door and demanded, "You have been instrumental in maintaining the Crown Prince's health since he was young, and I trust you. However, recently someone told me that the Crown Prince is unwell. What is going on?"
Doctor Lin shuddered with fear and quickly said, "That's not true. His Royal Highness has always been in good health. I even took his pulse this morning and there's nothing wrong."
The Queen sneered, "If you don't tell me, I'll take the prince out of the palace to find a doctor to check his pulse and we'll know. But think it over. If you lie, I'll execute your entire clan."
Doctor Lin was sweating profusely from nervousness and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is absolutely unacceptable. If the Emperor knew... he would blame you."
The queen was shocked. Could it be that the emperor already knew about it?
The Queen said sternly, "I am doing this for the Crown Prince's health, how could the Emperor blame me?"
"Doctor Lin, I've seen you take care of the Crown Prince for so many years, so I wanted to give you a chance. Unexpectedly, you don't even cherish it."
"In that case, there's no need for you to live."
Doctor Lin was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything. The Crown Prince's illness has been going on for a long time, and outsiders can't see it. If...if this gets out of hand, it will also affect the Crown Prince's health."
The queen closed her eyes, feeling extremely heavy-hearted, almost unable to breathe.
As a mother, she didn't even know that her son was ill all the time. She urged him to make progress, learn martial arts, and read history books. Even when he wanted to leave the palace for a walk occasionally, she didn't allow him to.
The Queen burst into tears and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there no cure?"
Imperial Physician Lin bowed his head and said dejectedly, "Your humble servant is incompetent. I have been searching for a prescription for the Crown Prince for twenty years and have yet to find one that works."
Upon hearing this, the queen understood everything.
Lin Yue did not lie. She accumulated merits in order to save her son's life. Lin Yue herself was extraordinary, otherwise Zhang Tianshi would not have chosen her to go to Prince Ding to bring good luck, and she actually saved Prince Ding.
Yes, Lin Yue has a way, and she also wants to save the prince.
The Queen quickly regained her composure and said to Imperial Physician Lin, "I won't tell anyone, and you should pretend you've never been to Fengyi Palace. However, I've found a way to save the Crown Prince. You just need to keep his condition stable and prevent him from experiencing a sudden attack. Do you understand?"
Doctor Lin kowtowed quickly and said, "We have always kept several doses of medicine to suppress the Crown Prince's illness. We have them in the Eastern Palace, in the Emperor's Diligent Administration Hall, and I also carry them with me."
The Queen said, "Leave this portion of yours to me, and you should also add another portion to your own."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Lin quickly took out a small box from his arms and handed it to the queen.
When the queen opened it, she saw that the pill was thicker than her thumb. How could she eat it?
Doctor Lin quickly explained, "The real pill is inside. The spleen-strengthening pill outside is used to confuse others."
The Queen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "You have done well. When the Crown Prince is well again, I will reward you handsomely."
Doctor Lin did not dare to take credit for it, and the Queen did not say anything more and sent him back to the Imperial Hospital.
After Doctor Lin left, the Queen came out from the side hall with sweat all over her forehead.
Nanny Zhang looked distressed and asked quickly, "If your majesty is unwell, we should tell the Empress Dowager. She will understand."
The Queen laughed happily, "What do you know? Go and make arrangements quickly. Lin Yue saved Prince Ding's life. Even if she isn't my sister-in-law, I will still treat her well."
Aunt Zhang: "..." Didn't you say that this morning? You said Lin Yue was eccentric and ignorant, and was not worthy of being Princess Ding.
"Zhou Dahai sent word that the Emperor would be coming over for dinner soon."
The Queen said, "Come if you want. It's time for him to meet his younger brother and sister-in-law."
Nanny Zhang was speechless. The Queen was acting strangely today. Normally, she hated young and pretty women coming to her palace. But today Princess Ding came. Although she was the Emperor's sister-in-law, she was still so young... and pretty.
…
In the inner hall, the Queen Mother asked Lin Yue, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Lin Yue was worried about how she would go out to give out porridge in the future, so she quickly said, "Believe it. Good and evil will be rewarded, and there will be karma and reincarnation. My daughter-in-law is a Buddhist and wants to do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for herself and her descendants."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's good to believe in Buddhism. I believe in Buddhism too. When you leave, remember to go to the temple and give me some incense money. If you are so inclined, you can also do some charity work."
"When you leave the palace, I will give you some money. You can spend it as you see fit. Don't spend all your private money on it."
Lin Yue felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and she quickly said, "Thank you, mother. Your daughter-in-law will definitely do good deeds with all her heart."
[Wow, my mother-in-law is so nice. She even gave me money to do good deeds and accumulate merit.]
[System, I'm suddenly so touched]
System: [When you do good deeds, many good things will silently come to you, and even change your luck.]
Lin Yue [Will my luck get better and better? ]
System: [If you are positive and work hard to accumulate merit, things will definitely get better and better.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue said with a satisfied look, "That's fantastic. Don't worry, System. I will definitely accumulate merits."
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth while drinking tea.
Her little daughter-in-law is so cute!
