Chapter 347 The Princess Fainted
It was early August when Chunzhi received this picture of the night-blooming Epiphyllum.
As the weather turns cooler, affairs in Xizhou become increasingly busy.
Huo Zheng goes out early and comes back late every day, leading the officials to vigorously carry out measures that benefit the people, developing agriculture and commerce in parallel.
Xizhou's soil and climate are suitable for growing wheat, cotton, jujubes, grapes, and barley. First, ensure Xizhou's food security. Fill the granaries within three years to provide for the army. Then, grow cotton for weaving, grow jujubes as a local specialty, and dry grapes into raisins for winemaking.
First get rid of poverty, then get rich. Xizhou can support the army, protect the territory and the people without relying on the court to provide military pay and supplies, and respond to all changes with constancy.
Chunzhi takes care of the affairs of the mansion every day and sets up embroidery rooms, tea houses and other industries that can be run by women in the city. The couple are busy benefiting the people of Xizhou. They cannot be seen during the day and can only sleep in each other's arms late at night.
Huo Yanran's painting of the night-blooming cereus was vivid and lifelike. Yuzhu wrote to her in detail about the princess and Wan'er's late-night visit to the Chang'an Palace...
When Song Wan'er and the others saw the night-blooming cereus bloom, they didn't think about making any wishes, but hoped that their sister who was thousands of miles away could also have this good luck.
Although we are thousands of miles apart, our hearts are close.
After receiving it, Chunzhi looked at the painting carefully for a long time, and then hung it in her bedroom with her own hands so that she could see it every day.
The next day, when Chunzhi went to the outskirts of the city to distribute rice to the poor people, she fainted on the spot due to overwork.
"Princess! What's wrong with you, Princess?"
Cui'er was shocked, and her voice, which was already much louder than that of an ordinary person, drowned out the voices of everyone present.
Not only did the people present see the princess faint, but even the people in the entire suburbs were alarmed.
Ever since the princess and the prince came to Xizhou to establish their fiefdom, the prince has been busy with various important matters. The princess personally led people to provide relief to the people, working from morning to night every day. After half a month, she finally delivered the relief food to the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Such a good princess collapsed from exhaustion, which made everyone very anxious.
Cui'er and the others hurriedly helped the princess back to the carriage, "Go back home, go back home quickly, and call the doctor!"
The maids who followed Chunzhi to the outskirts of the city were almost crying in panic, "The princess has always been in good health, how could she suddenly faint?"
"I must be too tired these days!"
"The prince is not in the city right now, what should we do?"
Cui Er took out a ginseng pill from her pocket, helped the princess up and fed it to her...
At this moment, Chunzhi suddenly opened her eyes, held Cui'er's hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm fine."
"Princess, what are you doing..."
Cui'er was so frightened that she almost crushed the ginseng pill in her hand.
The princess was clearly awake, and she was pretending to faint just now?
There were only Cui'er and Chunzhi in the carriage. The maids accompanying them were either in the front or in the carriage at the back, all of them were worried about the princess's sudden fainting.
Dusk was falling at this time. The coachman was afraid that something might happen to the princess, so he drove the carriage as fast as the wind and rushed to the palace.
Chunzhi held Cui'er's hand and whispered to her, "Don't worry, send me to Rendong's Huichun Hall."
Although Cui'er didn't know why the princess pretended to faint, she believed that she had her own reasons for doing so, so the little girl didn't ask anything and immediately nodded and said, "I will take you to Huichun Hall."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui'er lifted the curtain and said to the driver, "Change the route to Huichun Hall!"
"But..." The driver was about to say something, but was interrupted by Cui'er, "The princess is familiar with Doctor Feng from Huichun Hall. Doctor Feng is well-known for his extraordinary medical skills in Xizhou City. Stop talking nonsense and go to Huichun Hall!"
The driver quickly replied "yes" and drove straight to Huichun Hall.
The palace's carriage sped past on the street, startling the pedestrians and causing them to look sideways.
Someone asked, "Whose carriage goes so fast on the street without worrying about hitting someone?"
"The carriage seems to have the emblem of the Xizhou Palace printed on it..."
"The person sitting in that carriage is either the prince or the princess!"
After everyone found out that it was the palace's carriage, they became more and more confused. The prince and princess loved the people like their own children. They never made a fuss when traveling on weekdays, and they would not allow their servants to disturb others. Today, the palace's carriage was rushing on the street. It was unexpected and very strange!
The palace carriage galloped through several streets and arrived at the gate of Huichun Hall.
“Whoa!”
The driver hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Bring the stretcher quickly."
Cui'er asked the accompanying guards to go into Huichun Hall to get a stretcher to carry the princess.
"yes!"
The guards obeyed and strode into Huichun Hall.
Honeysuckle disguised herself as a man and practiced medicine at Huichuntang under the pseudonym Fengteng. When the clinic opened, the princess personally brought people to support her. She also provided free medical treatment for three days, and did not charge for her consultations or prescriptions. With this and her good medical skills, word spread from one person to another in Xizhou City, and soon she became the youngest famous doctor in Xizhou.
There is a constant stream of patients coming to Huichuntang for medical treatment every day, and today there was a long queue in front of Huichuntang.
The palace's carriage suddenly came galloping, and the palace guards rushed into Huichun Hall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
A moment later, when Honeysuckle heard that the princess had suddenly fainted, she hurried out and jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain and got in. "Princess—"
Before she could say anything, she saw the princess looking at her with clear eyes.
Honeysuckle was originally anxious, but now that she saw the princess was awake, she couldn't help but be puzzled, "Princess, what's going on?"
Chunzhi said, "I have something very important to do and I need to be seriously ill. I hope that Jindong can help me."
The princess is not sick, she just needs a "serious illness".
When Cui'er and Rendong heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Honeysuckle raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead and whispered "Okay".
After saying this, Chunzhi closed her eyes again, and then left the task to Cui'er and Rendong.
Honeysuckle shouted, "The princess's illness is severe and we can't delay any longer. Hurry, quickly carry her to Huichun Hall!"
"This...what should we do?" Cui'er's voice became even louder, and her voice was filled with tears. "Doctor Feng, you must save our princess!"
Honeysuckle said, "I can only try my best."
As the two men were talking, the guards had already brought the stretcher. The maids came into the carriage to help the princess onto the stretcher, then carried her out of the carriage and rushed straight to Huichun Hall.
When everyone in the hall heard that the princess had an acute illness and came to Huichun Hall for medical treatment, Doctor Feng said that the disease was very severe and they could only do their best, so they immediately started talking.
Cui'er was still crying loudly. Seeing this, everyone believed more and more that the princess was seriously ill. A guard hurried to inform the prince.
Passersby overheard it and started spreading the word, "Is the princess sick?"
If the rumor spread further, it would become, "Even Doctor Feng said it can't be cured? It must be a very serious illness!"
Just one more mouthful and it was done, "What? The princess has been overworked and has suddenly fallen seriously ill. She's dying!"
Honeysuckle asked the guards to carry the princess into the backyard and asked everyone to leave, saying that the princess could not be disturbed while she was being treated.
Then she closed the door, walked to the couch and whispered, "What happened that made the princess act like this?"
