Chapter 288 The Crown Prince's Illness
"Your Highness, Feng Huajun is indeed a doctor with excellent medical skills. Please ask her to come and see the Crown Prince! After all, children are a big deal." Xue Jiaer also advised.
He has heard Feng Huajun's name countless times today. Everything about her has beaten him to a pulp. Yu Wenyou no longer wants to hear anything about her.
He pushed Zhou Jirou, who was kneeling towards him, away and left the yard.
"Crown Princess, please get up first! I just heard from people below that the Crown Prince has a fever. I happen to have the medicine for treating fever that I was awarded by Lord Zhaojing Fenghua. I wonder if you..." Xue Jiaer helped the person up and asked tentatively.
"Try it."
Xue Jiaer brought over some children's fever-reducing medicine. She took a sip herself, and Zhou Jirou also took a sip. After a while, she fed it to the child.
"I don't know if there is anything else besides the fever. We still have to let Fenghua Jun come and take a look." Xue Jiaer said worriedly.
Zhou Jirou suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Xue Jiaer's hand and begged, "Sister Jiaer, I can only rely on you. You are familiar with Feng Huajun. I beg you to help me invite her. She will definitely come!"
This opinion was exactly what Xue Jiaer wanted.
She went to beg. If Feng Aoqing didn't come, then any trouble that happened to the Crown Prince would be blamed on her, and the Prince's Mansion would only become more hostile to her; if she came, she would also be able to have a closer relationship with Zhou Jirou, which was the best of both worlds.
Seeing her hesitation, Zhou Jirou said again: "Sister, you must help me! You are the only one who can help me right now! His Highness likes you and will definitely not punish you. As long as you save the child, he can punish me if he wants to. I will bear all the consequences for you."
Xue Jiaer pretended to be embarrassed for a moment, then nodded and said, "The Crown Prince is very important. I will go right away. I will leave quietly through the back door. Please don't tell anyone."
Zhou Jirou nodded.
"I am the most suitable one if you think so. I am inconspicuous in the mansion, and no one will notice that I am missing. If you ask someone else to go, I am afraid that His Highness will see it and stop you." Xue Jiaer whispered.
Zhou Jirou nodded: "That's right, go quickly."
After receiving the order, Xue Jiaer left the Prince's Mansion through the back door to find Feng Aoqing.
She was very careful and made sure there was no one around before going out the back door. There were horses in the backyard, so she led one away. Her riding skills had become very proficient because she had been traveling with Mo Beiyuan.
The two mansions were not too far apart, but Xue Jiaer didn't know the way and had to ask someone before she found Lanfengju.
Feng Aoqing hasn't gone to bed yet and is reading a book and enjoying the breeze upstairs.
Although it was spring, the air was very sticky and uncomfortable, and she would be much more comfortable with the windows open on the third floor.
An Wan recognized Xue Jiaer and came to report after finding out the situation.
"What is she doing here?"
An Wan replied, "It seems something serious has happened in the Prince's Mansion. She said the Crown Prince is ill and asked you to go see him."
Feng Aoqing sat up and asked, "Why is she here? Is there no one in the Prince's Mansion?"
An Wan looked worried: "Master, I'm afraid it's a trick."
But Feng Aoqing only thought for a moment and went downstairs.
She definitely couldn't not go. If the Crown Prince was really sick, she had to go. Even if it was Xue Jiaer's plan, she was not afraid. She wanted to see what kind of abilities Xue Jiaer had.
"Is His Highness here?" Feng Aoqing asked An Wan.
"Your Highness went out after dinner and hasn't returned since."
"Where did you go?"
"They said that Marquis Nanyan and his men wanted to ask him to come over for something."
Feng Aoqing felt sleepy after dinner, so she slept for a while on the third floor. She guessed he went out at this time.
An Qiao came up to stop him at the door and said, "Madam, I think it's better not to go."
An Qiao knew Xue Jiaer. After all, she had been with Feng Aoqing for a while when she was in Zhaojing.
"It's okay, I'll take Ling Shuang and the others with me, nothing will happen." Feng Aoqing wouldn't listen to her.
Xue Jiaer was very moved when she saw Feng Aoqing coming out.
She stepped forward, held Feng Aoqing's hand, and said, "Qingqing, I know you won't stand by and watch someone die. I'm telling the truth. The Crown Prince stopped the Crown Princess's people from coming to invite you, so I quietly came out through the back door. The child was seriously ill, so I took a look and saw that he had a high fever. I've already given him some fever-reducing medicine. Wait for you to go and take a look."
"How many degrees? Did you take the temperature?"
They are both modern people, so it is much easier for them to talk.
"No, there were too many people in the room, and I didn't dare take out the thermometer. But I guessed it was definitely over 10 degrees, so I gave him some fever-reducing medicine and put it in water."
"Let's go."
Feng Aoqing saw the horse she was riding, so several of them also rode their horses, and went faster.
Looking at Xue Jiaer's expression, she didn't seem to be lying, so she wasn't afraid if there was any plan.
But when the group reached Qingyang Street, many figures appeared on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street and in the dark alleys.
"Madam! There's an ambush!" Ling Shuang shouted, "You two, take Madam away!"
He drew his sword and stood in front of several people.
An Wan and An Ke immediately turned their horses around. Feng Aoqing looked at Xue Jiaer coldly, but saw that Xue Jiaer was also very surprised.
"Qingqing, it's not me! I just arrived here, how can I arrange anything for you? Believe it or not! Someone must be trying to stop us from rescuing the Crown Prince!"
Xue Jiaer even pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and said to Feng Aoqin, "Hurry up and go to the Prince's Mansion to rescue them. I'll help stop them too!"
Feng Aoqing was almost dying of laughter. You are still trying to stop me. Who can you stop?
Of course, she didn't care about Xue Jiaer and turned her horse around, preparing to take another route.
She looked back and saw Ling Shuang had already started fighting with them.
"Ling Shuang, run away if you can't win!" Feng Aoqing shouted loudly while running.
"Ke, send a letter to His Highness!" An Wan's horse caught up with Feng Aoqing's, and she calmly instructed An Ke.
"Yes!" An Ke took out a "Feitianyao" from his arms and put one into the sky.
Unexpectedly, just as the "Feitianyao" took off, there were bursts of cannon fire nearby, and countless fireworks shot into the sky, and the "Feitianyao" disappeared.
Feng Aoqing sneered: "You know us quite well! Let's go! Even if you don't let me go today, I will go anyway! I'm determined to win this battle!"
These people fell behind and beside her horse and found that they could no longer run, even though she had done nothing.
Yes, she just shook her sleeves.
When she got closer, she held the sword in her hand and killed without hesitation.
Ling Shuang saw that there were too many people and he was sure he couldn't stop them all, so he picked up Xue Jiaer who was huddled aside, jumped onto the roof of the house, and threw down a poison pill developed by Feng Aoqing.
"You are not the target, you can take a detour back." Ling Shuang put the person on the side of the road and went to chase Feng Aoqing without waiting for Xue Jiaer to answer.
