"How is my health...?"
Feng Jinyu took a deep breath and asked with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, you are very weak now. You should not talk and rest. If you don't have symptoms of alternating hot and cold in the next two days, you will be fine."
"Really?" Li Yuanliang asked anxiously while personally taking Feng Jinyu's pulse.
He was right. It was indeed nothing serious as the prince had not been feeling hot and cold for the past two days.
However, his internal organs are damaged, so it won't be easy to restore them. The prince's physical condition will get worse and worse, and maybe...
"Yuanliang, is what Dean Yang said true?"
Li Yuanliang looked up at him and didn't dare to tell the truth, "Indeed."
Xu Mo's heart was relieved. "Your Highness, please wait. I'll get you some porridge."
"I'll go, you stay here and guard the prince."
Li Yuanliang went to the kitchen. Mother Zhang came over with a bowl of porridge and two maids, Zhuyue and Qinglian. "Doctor Li, I heard you calling the prince to wake up outside the door just now, so I took them to the kitchen to get some porridge."
"Aunt Zhang, you're so thoughtful." Li Yuanliang took the porridge from Aunt Zhang's hand. "I'll take it there. It's getting late. You should go downstairs and rest first."
"How is the prince? When can he be cured?" Mother Zhang asked with concern.
If anything happens to the prince, the one in Kunning Palace will probably not survive.
"If the prince's body stops fluctuating between hot and cold within two days, he'll be fine..."
After saying this, Li Yuanliang turned and left, took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and poked it into the porridge a few times.
Although they will not harm the prince, all the food he eats must be checked and no carelessness is allowed!
The prince is weak now, and a little poison can take his life.
Li Yuanliang's action of testing the poison naturally did not escape the eyes of Zhang Mama and the other two.
Zhu Yue asked, "Mother Zhang, did someone really poison the prince's food?"
"Yes!" Qinglian also echoed.
"The food that the prince eats must be carefully checked!" Mother Zhang looked at Li Yuanliang's back with a serious expression. She had doubts, but even the imperial physicians in the palace could not find out what was wrong, so she could not jump to conclusions.
"Don't make wild guesses. Let's just assume someone is trying to poison the prince. It's always better to be cautious!"
"Yes! Mother Zhang."
Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the real cause of the prince's illness was not diagnosed, and Mother Zhang did not suspect her.
"Qinglian, what are you still doing standing there? Are you scared silly? Why don't you go back and rest?"
"...I'll go back right away." Qinglian trotted to catch up with Zhuyue and went back to the room with her.
“Yueyue, go take a shower first. I’ll wash your clothes first. I’ll wash your clothes for you too.”
"Sister Lian, this is embarrassing. I'll just wash the clothes myself, okay?"
"It's just a matter of convenience. Go take a shower." Qinglian said as she left the room with two laundry baskets and went to the bathroom.
Qinglian entered the bathroom and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly went out through the back door. Outside was a small courtyard with servants' clothes hanging out to dry. Behind the courtyard wall was an alley.
Qinglian removed a brick from the base of the wall, took out the note inside and stuffed it into her sleeve.
Bang!
The back door was pushed open and Qinglian quickly put the brick back in its place.
"Sister Qinglian, are you helping Sister Zhuyue wash clothes again?"
Seeing that the visitor was Lan'er, a second-class maid, Qinglian calmly took down the clothes on the clothesline and said, "Zhuyue and I live in the same room. It's a simple matter. When you are promoted to a first-class maid, I will wash your clothes too."
"Sister Qinglian, you are so kind, but I don't have the chance to be a first-class maid."
Qinglian smiled and said, "When the prince gets better and marries a princess, if you behave well, Mother Zhang might promote you to be a first-class maid to serve the princess."
"Really? Then I have to do my best to perform well."
Qinglian pinched her cheek and said, "Of course it's true."
Lan Er was dreaming of becoming a first-class maid. She put away her clothes and happily followed Qing Lian. "Sister Qing Lian, let me wash these clothes."
"I appreciate your kindness, but the one who decides your promotion to head maid is Mother Zhang. You have to coax her well before you have a chance to know, right?"
"Thank you, Sister Qinglian, for your guidance."
After Lan'er left, Qinglian opened the note and took a quick look at it. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw the note into the stove next to him and burned it.
After two days of observation, Feng Jinyu no longer showed symptoms of heat and chills.
The guards and servants in the eldest prince's mansion all breathed a sigh of relief, except Li Yuanliang, Dean Yang and others who were still worried.
After Dean Yang finished giving Feng Jinyu acupuncture, he rushed to the palace to report.
"Your Majesty, the prince will no longer be afraid of cold or heat, but..." Seeing Emperor Qianyuan's gloomy face, Yang Yuanshou did not dare to open his mouth to tell the truth.
Emperor Qianyuan said sternly, "But what? Hurry up and tell me! If you hide anything, you know the consequences."
Being an imperial physician is a high-risk job for him. If he shows his strength, he will be in danger. Dean Yang said stubbornly, "The prince's internal organs have been severely damaged. His vitality has been greatly damaged. His health will deteriorate. He may not last for many more years!"
"What did you say?!"
"Bang!"
A teacup hit Dean Yang's temples and fell to the ground in pieces!
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Dean Yang quickly lowered his head and knelt on the ground. He didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, and looked like he accepted the beating and scolding.
Having worked for the emperor for many years, Dean Yang knew very well that if he begged for mercy at this time, it would only make the emperor furious, and the emperor would calm down after his anger subsided.
Sure enough, after the eunuch Li Haiying, the chief eunuch in charge of the palace, replaced the cup of tea for Emperor Qianyuan, Emperor Qianyuan calmed down.
"Is Yu'er's health no longer recoverable?"
Dean Yang raised his eyes slightly and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps Dr. Lu has a solution."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at Li Haiying and said, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to find Elder Lu. Within three days, you must bring him to the Grand Prince's residence for Yu'er to see!"
"It's the Emperor!"
Emperor Qianyuan was very upset. He had truly loved his eldest son over the years and had trained him as the crown prince since he was born!
Now that Yu'er is suffering, he feels a little guilty!
Emperor Qianyuan was very bored and walked around the palace casually, and unknowingly walked to Kunning Palace.
Pei Lan hurried into Changchun Palace and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor went to Kunning Palace after meeting with Dean Yang."
Cui Wan was feeding the little prince, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
After the little prince was fed and taken away by the wet nurse, Cui Wan finally spoke: "It's nothing serious, just a sickly child. She's had a long life and lived for so long."
Once Feng Jinyu died, she would not be able to live anymore.
As for the position of queen, she has waited for so many years, and it cannot fall into the hands of others.
"What other news have you found out?"
"The Emperor ordered Li Haiying to find the whereabouts of Dr. Lu within three days."
"Okay, I understand."
