Chapter 117: A Crown Princess Candidate Has Been Selected
It didn't take long for Gu Jingyu to arrive at the East Palace's bedroom.
After Gu Jingyu saluted the prince, she hurried into the bedroom, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Ye."
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Jingyu coming and said, "Jingyu, please help my sister."
Gu Jingyu looked at Ye Wanhe's expression and did not dare to delay. She sat down next to Ye Wanhe and put her hand on Ye Wanhe's wrist. She checked the wound and frowned, saying, "This is a high fever caused by the infection of the wound after the injury. This high fever is very dangerous. It is best to take anti-inflammatory powder, which can reduce the fever as soon as possible to save your life. However, this anti-inflammatory powder may be harmful to the blood in your stomach..."
Gu Jingyu turned around and saw Zhao Yun coming in.
Zhao Yun said coldly: "I already know that she is pregnant."
Gu Jingyu whispered, "It's better for pregnant women to use less of this anti-inflammatory powder. I'll give Aunt Ye acupuncture and moxibustion, and then wipe her body with warm water to see if it can relieve the high fever and try not to hurt the baby in her belly."
Zhao Yun said in a dull voice, "Well, if we can save the child, that would be the best. If we can't save the child... Wan He's life is the most important."
Ye Wanhe had a splitting headache. When she heard Zhao Yun's words, she still looked at him in disbelief, "Your Highness... you... cough cough."
Ye Wanhe spoke loudly, which hurt her throat which was in severe pain and she started coughing.
Zhao Yun hurriedly walked to Ye Wanhe and handed her a cup of warm tea.
Ye Wanhe said: "Your Highness, can our child stay here?"
Zhao Yun said, "As long as you and your child are both safe, you can keep the child. But if keeping the child means you cannot take medicine and become seriously ill, then you can only choose not to have the child. Take good care of yourself, and you will definitely have another child in the future."
Ye Wanhe gently stroked her belly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. When the child is born, I will send him out of the palace. He will not threaten the child you and the Crown Princess have in the future."
Zhao Yun said: "Have some tea first."
Ye Wanhe came close to Zhao Yun and drank tea.
After Zhao Yun fed the patient tea, he asked Gu Jingyu to give him acupuncture.
After Gu Jingyu gave Ye Wanhe acupuncture and moxibustion, she took back the silver needle and ordered the palace maid to fetch warm water, with which she carefully wiped Ye Wanhe's body.
Ye Wanhe said: "Princess Jingyu, I can't bother you to wipe my body for me, I can do it myself..."
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "I'm a doctor, what can't I do? Your illness is important, and I don't want anything to happen to my little cousin in the future."

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in Shaohua Palace.
Just after the hour of Chen, all the invited ladies and daughters had arrived at Shaohua Palace.
Although today is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the daughters dressed up as Hundred Flowers Fairies all know that this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is for the prince to select a concubine, so they all dressed up to attend today.
Inside Fengyi Palace.
The wife of Duke Wei said to Queen Wei in a flattering manner: "Sister, you only have one legitimate niece, Mei'er. No one is more suitable for the position of Crown Princess than Mei'er."
Queen Wei looked at her sister-in-law, the wife of Duke Wei, and frowned, saying, "Sister-in-law, Wei Xi cannot marry Yun'er!"
The wife of Duke Weiguo said, "Sister, you only have one legitimate niece, Mei'er. Now our Wei family is becoming less and less powerful, while the Gu family is flourishing. Aren't you afraid that after a hundred years, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will become a puppet of the Gu family and let King Ning Gu Ling control the government?
Only by letting Wei Xi become the Crown Princess and continuing the glory of our Wei family can we gradually suppress the Gu family in the court..."
Queen Wei frowned and said, "How dare you! Do you know that this sentence of yours is enough to chop off your head? Are you expecting Your Majesty to live for a hundred years?"
The wife of the Duke of Wei said hurriedly: "Sister, you misunderstood, I am not looking forward to His Majesty's centenary.
However, whether the Crown Princess is Xu Mengqi from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion or Lin Bolan from the Lin Xiang Mansion, both Xu and Lin families have a close relationship with Prince Ning, and they will inevitably help Prince Ning control the Eastern Palace in the future. Only our Wei family is wholeheartedly loyal to His Highness... It is most appropriate for Mi'er to be the Crown Princess."
Queen Wei glanced at Wei Xi and said coldly, "There is no way the candidate for the Crown Princess will be Xi'er. You should give up this idea as soon as possible."
Queen Wei's trusted maid came in to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has arrived with two little princesses."
"Jingru is here, let them both in."
As soon as Queen Wei finished speaking, Xiao Jingru had already entered the palace.
Little Jingru was wearing a purple brocade dress today. She trotted over and threw herself into Queen Wei's arms, "Aunt."
Queen Wei picked up little Jingru and said, "Why are you still crying? There are tears in your eyes."
Xie Zhixuan carried Nuonuo inside and chuckled, "She was jealous of Nuonuo. Seeing that I only held Nuonuo and not her, she started to make a fuss and cry."
Queen Wei chuckled and comforted Xiao Jingru, "You are the little aunt, and your mother is also Nuonuo's grandmother. She only hugged her for a while. Your mother still loves you the most. You are jealous, and you definitely learned this from your father."
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xie Zhixuan looked at the wife of Duke Weiguo and Wei Xi who was standing next to her, and just nodded slightly.
Queen Wei looked at Nuonuo in Xie Zhixuan's arms and said, "However, Nuonuo's mother was also invited to today's Hundred Flowers Banquet. Why did Nuonuo ask you to bring her along?"
Xie Zhixuan said, "Yun'er summoned Xiangye and Jingyu to the East Palace early this morning. I don't know why."
Queen Wei was puzzled and asked, "Why did Yun'er summon Mother Nuonuo to the palace?"
Queen Wei couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was getting late, she said to Xie Zhixuan, "The daughters of various families in the palace have all arrived. Let's go and take a look. You can also help Yun'er to take a look."
Xie Zhixuan said: "Yeah."
Shaohua Palace is where all the noble ladies in Chang'an City gather.
The Qianjinmen are dressed up as flower fairies and there are so many beauties.
Today, Lin Bolan wore a red plum dress, acting as the Red Plum Fairy...
Today, surrounded by flowers, she dressed up as a red plum fairy blooming proudly in the snow, which had a unique temperament.
Queen Wei whispered to Xie Zhixuan, "Prime Minister Lin's daughter is becoming more and more beautiful and elegant."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "Bo Lan is a virtuous and intelligent child. Whoever can marry her in the future will be very lucky."
Queen Wei said: "Yun'er and Bo Lan have known each other since childhood. If you choose Bo Lan, it will be another good marriage."
Queen Wei and Xie Zhixuan were talking about the noble ladies at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. When the banquet started, Queen Wei did not see Zhao Yun coming, so she sent people to look for Zhao Yun in the East Palace.
Queen Wei complained to Xie Zhixuan, "Today is Yun'er's concubine selection banquet, but he doesn't care at all. It's only been more than half a month since the envoys from various foreign countries came to Chang'an, and today we must decide on the Crown Princess. I don't know what he is doing, he is dawdling and hasn't come yet."
Inside the East Palace bedroom.
Gu Jingyu touched Ye Wanhe's forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, Sister Ye, your fever has subsided a lot."
After hearing what Gu Jingyu said, Zhao Yun walked to Ye Wanhe's side, touched her forehead to feel the temperature, and made sure that the fever had subsided a lot, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness." Li Quan came in and said, "Your Highness, the Queen sent someone to say that the Hundred Flowers Banquet has begun, and asked you to go to Shaohua Palace as soon as possible..."
Zhao Yun said to Li Quan, "Go tell my mother that I already have a candidate for the Crown Princess, so I will not attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Ye Wanhe coughed lightly, "Did His Highness choose Miss Lin?"
Ye Wanhe placed her hand gently on her belly. It would be fine if her child was a daughter, but it would be troublesome if it was a son.
Lin Bolan is kind, polite, virtuous and generous. If she were the Crown Princess, she would definitely not be intolerant of her and her child...
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "No, I didn't choose Lin Bolan, I chose you."
