Chapter 502 The Second Prince is Sick
The Fourth Master looked at them making faces and was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he quietly took a skewer and continued to feed them warm wine.
Seeing this little girl eating like a squirrel, taking small bites at a time, the Fourth Master finally felt a little better.
I just thought that it wouldn't take long for them to finish their meal, so I just had to bear with it a little longer.
The Fourth Master stopped talking, and the other masters also started eating to their heart's content.
The Fourth Master waited until the meal was over, and no one showed any intention of leaving. The Fourteenth Master, on the other hand, pulled out a deck of cards from somewhere and started playing cards with a few people.
In the afternoon, Jiu Ye and Wen Jiu were discussing business matters and were busy settling accounts.
The third master and his friends played poker and ate snacks along the way. The loser would go to the yard to fight, jumping up and down, and the roof of the house was almost blown off.
The Fourth Master had a gloomy face throughout the whole process, but when his expression was within a certain acceptable range, the other masters chose to ignore it.
It was not until the sun had set that everyone said goodbye with laughter.
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll send you some more money tomorrow."
Jiu Ye has now settled his account and his mouth is grinning so much that it almost reaches his ears.
I thought I had earned a lot of money recently, but after settling the accounts with Sister-in-law Si, I didn't expect that the money was more than 30% higher than I imagined.
Sister-in-law Xiao Si also made a lot of suggestions, which were all written in his little notebook.
Jiu Ye now looked at Wen Jiu and thought she looked just like that gold, incredibly attractive. He just wanted to chat with her for three days and three nights. Unfortunately, his fourth brother was watching her like a veiled eyeball, glaring at him if he said a few more words.
"Okay, it's settled. Take care, gentlemen." Wenjiu responded with a smile.
"Little brother, please don't send me off. You're pregnant, so go back early." The Third Master waved his hand and walked away with his brothers in a heroic and confident manner. From a distance, you could still hear their laughter and chatter.
The Fourth Master was not polite to them and did not personally escort them out of the yard. He only asked Su Peisheng to see them out.
Wen Jiu saw the Fourth Master's current appearance and couldn't help asking, "Master, are you very happy?" He actually had a smile on his face, which was extremely rare.
The Fourth Master wrapped her hand in his, exerted a little strength, and said, "I have something good to show you later."
As he spoke, he brought warm wine into the room. The weather was a little hot and humid, and some fine sweat broke out on Wenjiu's forehead. The Fourth Master took the handkerchief from the servant's hand and wiped the sweat off her face. He waited for her to change her clothes, and the two of them sat steadily at the table. The Fourth Master then smiled faintly and reached into his arms, intending to take out the imperial edict.
"Jiu'er, I have something to give you..."
"Master, something bad has happened!"
Su Peisheng hurried into the room, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master, the Second Prince has a sudden high fever and vomited everything he had at night."
The Fourth Master frowned. "What's going on? Has the court doctor gone to see him?"
Su Peisheng nodded: "The court doctor has gone to check it out, but the Second Prince keeps making a fuss about wanting his mother, and the concubine is also crying..."
The Fourth Master stood up and started walking out. After two steps, he stopped, turned back to look at Wen Jiu, and said, "Jiu'er, I'll tell you again when I get back tonight."
Wenjiu nodded and said, "Go quickly, sir. The child's high fever is no small matter. If you are busy, you don't have to come back."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, the Fourth Master walked back as if possessed by a spirit. He patted her head and said, "Rest well. No need to wait for me. Even if I come back, I won't need you to wait on me. Just sleep well."
As the Fourth Master spoke, he laid her flat on the bed with some warm wine, covered her with a quilt, and wanted to touch her belly before getting up and leaving.
As soon as he went out, he strode towards the front yard.
The second prince is only three years old this year. He has just started his education and was brought to the front yard. How could he fall ill in just half a day?
Thinking of this, the Fourth Master walked a little faster. When he reached the front yard, he indeed didn't hear any sound at all.
He frowned and walked into the house, only to find that his second brother had fallen asleep.
The Fourth Master went over to check the child's complexion and touched his forehead, then he felt slightly relieved.
The doctor from the Liu Mansion who was standing nearby came forward and clasped his fists, saying, "My Lord, the Second Prince's fever has subsided, and he's not vomiting anymore after taking the medicine. However, the Second Prince is still a bit weak, and after this ordeal, I'm afraid he'll need to recuperate for some time.
The Fourth Master frowned and nodded, then asked, "But is there something wrong with the food?"
The Liu family physician shook his head slightly. "I haven't found anything wrong with the Second Prince's diet. This illness came and went so quickly, which is really strange."
"Go check again, and carefully check the Second Prince's diet and daily life."
Behind him, someone silently replied, "Yes." He immediately went out to give the order.
Su Peisheng came in at this moment, took a closer look at the Fourth Master, and replied, "Master, the concubine is still making a fuss, crying and wanting to come out to see the Second Prince. Look..."
The Fourth Master frowned deeply, "No! Tell her to stay in the yard. If she cries again, she won't be able to see the Second Prince again."
When Su Peisheng heard what his master said, he was not surprised at all.
Speaking of which, two years ago, in order to win favor, the concubine used all kinds of methods, even pinching the second prince's legs until they became purple beans.
When Prince Beile saw this, he felt very distressed. When the Second Prince was still young, he was taken to the front yard.
It is said that the Second Prince's illness came on strangely. Not to mention the Prince, even he felt that this might be the doing of the Concubine in order to get out of the courtyard.
But now I have no evidence, and I don’t know what the concubine is thinking.
The Fourth Master rubbed his forehead and finally sat down to watch over the Second Prince. He sat there for more than an hour.
"My Lord, you should go back to bed early. I'm watching you here." Nanny Xie glanced at the Fourth Master and couldn't help but step forward to give him some advice.
"Then please trouble Madam, I will go to the side and take a look at the eldest prince."
Nanny Xie is the Fourth Master's wet nurse. She has been taking care of the children, and the Fourth Master is very confident in her.
Now the Second Prince seems to be in good health, so the Fourth Master is not in a hurry.
"Of course, this old servant will do his best. You can rest assured. Speaking of which, the eldest prince has been working too hard these days. It's so late today, and the eldest prince's lamp is still on. If you can persuade him, please do so."
After hearing what Madam Xie said, the Fourth Master nodded and turned to go next door.
"Honghui, it's so late, why are you still reciting?" As soon as he entered the room, the Fourth Master couldn't help but frowned slightly.
