Chapter 186 Chaos in Prince Cheng's Mansion
Ayane spoke up, "Ever since the princess left the palace, my daughter has been extremely worried about her health. Madam Qin opened the medicine collection at the Governor's Mansion and even used some medicine from the palace to barely keep the princess safe. Just now, the princess suddenly heard something and fainted due to her overwhelming emotions."
"Doctor Sun, is my princess in danger?"
Imperial Physician Sun originally suspected that Princess Cheng was pretending to faint, but he felt a chill down his spine after hearing Ayane's words, which were full of profound implications.
Hearing the words "the medicine storage in the Governor's Mansion," he suddenly shuddered, withdrew his hand, and said with a heavy face, "The princess must have fainted because of the shock."
Ayane was worried: "When will she wake up?"
Imperial Physician Sun: “…”
He was silent for a moment, looking at Princess Cheng's tightly closed eyes, and said carefully, "The princess is weak and pregnant. Since Lady Qin has already given her medicine, I can't prescribe another one, lest the medicine conflict harm the fetus. Moreover, since the young lady said that the princess fainted due to emotional excitement, then sleeping will be good for her."
"In the case of the princess, it would take at least a cup of tea, or at most one or two ounces..."
Doctor Sun originally wanted to say an hour or two, but after glancing at Ayane, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "At most a day or two. I think he will wake up."
Ayane asked, "Is it possible to move?"
Doctor Sun was a little confused. How could he know whether they wanted to move or not? He remembered how the woman had confronted Prince Cheng so forcefully and didn't give him any face at all, while Princess Cheng pretended to faint and didn't even mention leaving. So, they must want to continue to be "unconscious" in Prince Cheng's mansion?
Doctor Sun said tentatively, "The princess is weak, it's best not to move..."
"Doesn't that mean we still have to stay in the palace?"
Doctor Sun wanted to change his tune upon hearing this, saying that it wouldn't matter if he moved a little, but Ayane frowned and said reluctantly, "Forget it, then stay for two more days."
"The princess needs to rest. I'd also like to ask Imperial Physician Sun to inform the prince of the princess's condition after he leaves, so that he won't bother her again." She paused, "As long as the princess is fine, my daughter and the governor will remember your kindness."
Doctor Sun paused for a moment, "Young lady, you are too kind."
He stood up:
"The Concubine Dowager is seriously ill, and tonight is a critical time. She still needs someone to look after her. Since the Princess is fine, I will go back first. If anything goes wrong here, please send someone over, and I will come over at any time."
"Excuse me, Doctor Sun."
Prince Cheng stood under the wooden corridor in the yard. The dark sky made it impossible to see the expression on his face.
When Imperial Physician Sun came out of the room, he saw her immediately and hurried forward to ask anxiously, "Imperial Physician Sun, how is my princess?"
Doctor Sun looked at the anxious Prince Cheng and tactfully acted as a mouthpiece, "The princess is in very poor health, and the fetus in her womb isn't as healthy as usual. I took her pulse and found that she is suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood, and stagnation in her heart. She must have been frightened today, which is why she fainted suddenly."
"Thrilling and thrilling?" King Cheng whispered.
Doctor Sun nodded. "That's the pulse. However, the princess has been receiving acupuncture and medication from Madam Qin. I'm hesitant to prescribe any more medicines for fear of a conflict. Your Highness, don't worry too much. Let the princess rest for a while, and she'll wake up naturally."
"The princess is weak and pregnant, so she needs to rest and recuperate. She cannot tolerate noise, and must avoid excessive joy or anger, otherwise it will harm her health."
Prince Cheng's eyes darkened a little. Was he telling him not to come and "harass" Rong Yue?
Doctor Sun thought he had said everything he needed to say, so he picked up his medicine box and prepared to return to the old concubine in Prince Cheng's mansion. However, he was stopped by Prince Cheng after he had taken a few steps.
"Doctor Sun."
"What else do you want, Your Majesty?"
Prince Cheng asked in a low voice: "Can the baby in the princess's belly be saved?"
Seeing that Doctor Sun seemed puzzled as to why he suddenly asked this, Prince Cheng lowered his eyes and whispered, "This prince and the princess have been married for nearly twenty years. We love each other very much, but we only have one child, Ayin. In the past few years, worried that Ayin would be lonely, my husband and I have been seeking medical advice and medicine to have another child, but she has never been able to conceive. I didn't expect that she would be pregnant at this time."
He smiled bitterly.
"I made a mistake in the Song family before, and the princess was very upset about it. She didn't even want me to get close to her. I thought she would dislike the child, but I didn't expect her to ask Madam Qin to help her with the pregnancy."
"I am a little worried. It's not easy for her to get pregnant at her age. If she can't keep the child, the love between us will be..."
Prince Cheng had a bitter look on his face, and with his face covered with stubble, he looked particularly depressed.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Sun soothed him gently, "Your Highness, please don't say that. Everyone in the capital knows about your relationship with the Princess. Your Highness's pregnancy is also a happy occasion. Although her pregnancy looks bad, it can still be saved if you are careful. Your Highness, don't worry too much."
King Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After Imperial Doctor Sun spoke a few words to Prince Cheng, he left with his medicine box. However, once he left the hospital, the gentle expression on his face instantly disappeared.
He couldn't help but look back at King Cheng standing in the yard, and felt his palms holding the medicine box were a little cold.
If Princess Cheng had not pretended to faint before him, and if he had not first sensed something was wrong from the words of the woman under Governor Xiao, he would not have thought much about what Prince Cheng had just said.
He would only think that Prince Cheng was really concerned about Princess Cheng's health and the child in her womb. Anyone would think that Prince Cheng was deeply in love with her because of that bitter and infatuated love.
But after what happened before, King Cheng's words made him shudder.
What does it mean that after being married for twenty years, there is only one son, Xie Yin, and after years of seeking medical advice, she has never been able to conceive again?
What does it mean that Princess Cheng is bothered by him and unwilling to get close to him, but is particularly concerned about the child in her belly...
This statement may sound fine at first glance, but if the situation is changed, the wording is changed, or something else is added, wouldn't it make people doubt the bloodline of the child in Princess Cheng's belly?
Doctor Sun held the medicine box tightly in his hand and suddenly wanted to leave immediately.
I'm afraid there's going to be a big mess in Prince Cheng's Mansion.
He turned and walked towards the main gate of Prince Cheng's mansion, hoping to find an excuse to return to the Imperial Physician's Office. However, he hadn't taken a few steps when he was suddenly stopped by someone: "Imperial Physician Sun."
Doctor Sun turned around and saw the person coming, and his eyes suddenly widened.
…
Princess Cheng fainted, and Ayane stayed by her side without leaving.
Nanny Jiang waited anxiously for a long time. Seeing that Princess Cheng had not woken up, she became anxious: "Miss Lingyin, the princess has not woken up yet. Why don't we go and ask Madam Qin for help?"
"Madam Qin is still in the palace," Ayane said, "The Empress Dowager can't leave without someone."
"But Princess..."
Nanny Jiang reached out and touched Princess Cheng's forehead, her eyes full of worry.
Lingyin looked at Nanny Jiang, observing her expression, mannerisms, and tone of voice. She saw her gently pulling Princess Cheng's cold hand and rubbing it for her. She couldn't tell that her concern for Princess Cheng was fake. She lowered her gaze slightly and said,
"Imperial Physician Sun has already said that the princess fainted due to a shock and will wake up naturally soon."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang said, "You shouldn't have told the princess those things directly..."
"Why didn't you tell me? Prince Cheng deliberately approached the princess and plotted against her feelings. He lied to her for years, pretending to be affectionate. Every action he took was despicable. Everything he did to conceal her was hurtful to her. She has the right to know." Ayane's expression was cold. "Or do you think, Madam, that keeping it a secret from her is good for her?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"I know that Madam is the princess's closest person, so she will naturally not stand by and watch outsiders bully her."
She said this lightly, but it made Madam Jiang's heart tighten.
"Of course I won't."
Nanny Jiang was a little afraid to talk to Ayane, as she felt her gaze seemed to be able to see through people. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and avoided her gaze.
"The princess didn't use anything today, and I don't know when she will wake up at night. I'll ask someone to prepare some food, just in case the princess wakes up."
Ayane didn't make things difficult for her: "Okay."
After Nanny Jiang left, the door was closed. When the lights in the room were shaken, Princess Cheng, who had been lying on the bed trying to keep her breathing steady, suddenly opened her eyes.
"She..." Princess Cheng sat up, her eyes red: "She and Xie Tianyu..."
"She must have bribed you a long time ago. At the very least, she's hiding something from you."
Princess Cheng's lips trembled.
Lingyin supported Princess Cheng. Seeing her red eyes, she held her wrist and said, "The Governor and the girl made me alert the enemy. Prince Cheng must have become suspicious. He knows it will be difficult to reconcile with you. Now that you have brought up the past, he will probably be desperate and do something desperate."
"If the princess can't bear what's coming next, I'll have someone take you to Mr. Gu first. Since you're unconscious, just have someone guard the door..."
"Need not!"
Princess Cheng gritted her teeth. She had been kept in the dark and deceived for so many years.
She wanted to see how shameless Xie Tianyu was! !
