Hearing the imperial physician's words, before Gu Qilan could open his mouth to question them, the two wet nurses hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has been guarding here the entire time and has not left a single step. We absolutely did not let the Third Prince catch a cold."
Ning Yuxi also said, "Your Majesty, I have been guarding here the entire time, and I have indeed prevented him from catching the flu."
Seeing this, the imperial physician had no choice but to lower the third prince's temperature first.
Gu Qilan saw the red bloodshot in Ning Yuxi's eyes and her unkempt appearance due to haste, and felt a little reluctant, so he stayed.
After tossing and turning for more than an hour, little Chengzhao's fever finally subsided. The room became quiet for a while, and Ruyi and Luoying both tactfully left.
Ning Yuxi pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, regarding my father's matter..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Qilan interrupted her with a cold face: "No need to say more, I will make my own decision. Also, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I hope you will keep this in mind!"
After saying that, Gu Qilan flicked his sleeves and left.
Ning Yuxi looked at the emperor's back as he left, her eyes filled with complexity.
Ruyi and Luoying saw the emperor suddenly leave in anger, and looked at Ning Yuxi with some concern.
After a while, Ning Yuxi suddenly smiled: "I'm fine. You must be tired after tossing for so long. Go and rest."
The two said in unison: "Master, I am not tired. I haven't slept for two days. Please take a rest."
In the end, Ning Yuxi managed to lean against the bed and rest for a while.
I was half asleep and half awake, afraid that Cheng Zhao would relapse again.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. In the evening, little Chengzhao had a fever again.
Ning Yuxi was so anxious that she burst into tears this time. What was going on? She and the imperial physician diagnosed her with a common cold, so why did it keep coming back?
This fever was more severe than the previous one. Four or five imperial doctors came, but they still couldn't reduce little Chengzhao's fever.
Midnight passed, but the high fever still persisted. The imperial physician had tried every possible method, but with little success.
In the middle of the night, the Emperor came again, accompanied by the Empress. Gu Qilan was furious: "What's going on? The Third Prince has had a high fever repeatedly, and now it won't go away!"
The imperial physician was so frightened that he knelt in the room, lowered his head, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am incompetent."
The Queen said, "Ningpin, what's going on? Is it that the people who are taking care of the Third Prince are not doing their best?"
"Your Majesty, I was afraid someone might not be doing their best, so I took care of you personally. I don't know why you have a persistent high fever."
She was in tears and choked slightly.
Until the next morning, when the emperor went to court, his fever had not subsided. Ning Yuxi stayed by his side all night, and the empress also took care of him for half the night.
Still with little effect.
The emperor was in a gloomy mood, and all the ministers in the court were trembling with fear.
After the court session, Gu Qilan went directly to Shuqing Palace. On the way, Concubine Liu suddenly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Gu Qilan was in a bad mood because of the Third Prince's illness: "Let's talk about it next time. I want to go see the Third Prince."
After saying this, he was about to leave, but Concubine Liu stopped him again.
Gu Qilan couldn't help but get angry, and Concubine Liu immediately said, "It's about the Third Prince's illness."
He stopped.
Concubine Liu continued, "Isn't it strange that the Imperial Physician said it was just a common cold, yet the Third Prince still has recurring fevers, and now it's even at a high fever?"
Gu Qilan looked up at her.
"Because the Third Prince was poisoned!"
When Gu Qilan heard this, he was filled with anger. Who would dare to poison his son?
He said solemnly, "What kind of poison? How did you know?"
"I've seen this symptom outside the palace since I was a child. It's a chronic toxin. Actually, it's not really a poison, but it causes recurring fever. As long as you take antipyretics in time, it won't be a serious problem."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qilan asked, "Then why is the Third Prince still having a high fever?"
Concubine Liu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the person who poisoned me gave me too much."
"How can I cure this poison?"
Concubine Liu took out a prescription and said, "Yesterday, when I heard that the Third Prince had a recurring high fever, I suspected it might be this poison and immediately asked my family to find an antidote."
Gu Qilan took the prescription, opened it and saw that it contained only some common medicinal herbs, so he asked Song Qu to summon the imperial physician to examine it.
Soon the imperial physician arrived. Concubine Liu told him the origin of the poison and so on. The imperial physician then understood a little. After looking at the prescription and seeing that it was indeed suitable for the disease, the emperor asked him to boil the medicine.
…
Half an hour later, Xiao Chengzhao's fever subsided after drinking the medicine.
Ning Yuxi finally felt a little relieved. She only heard that the emperor had found the prescription, and after checking that it was indeed suitable for the disease, she fed it to little Chengzhao.
Seeing that his high fever had finally subsided, I couldn't help but cry with joy.
She looked at the emperor with gratitude: "I wonder where the emperor got this recipe from. I want to thank you for it."
She was truly grateful to the person who offered the recipe. God knew how heartbroken she was seeing little Chengzhao suffering from a high fever.
Gu Qilan looked at her gloomily: "Thank the person who offered the recipe? I thought you wanted to blame him for ruining your good fortune!"
Ning Yuxi was puzzled: "What does the emperor mean by this?"
"What do you mean? You poisoned Cheng Zhao and caused him to have recurring high fever, and you still ask me what I mean?" Gu Qilan raised his tone, his face full of anger.
She was stunned: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Cheng Zhao is my son. How could I poison him?"
Concubine Liu said gracefully, "Of course, your Ning family was raided, and you were under house arrest. You were afraid of falling out of favor, so you poisoned your own son to win the emperor's favor!"
Ning Yuxi was slightly surprised. Now she understood everything. Concubine Liu is doing very well.
First, she framed her father for colluding with foreign enemies, and then she poisoned his son and falsely accused her of poisoning Cheng Zhao in order to win his favor.
The emperor values offspring the most, and he hates concubines using the emperor's offspring to win favor. In this way, she will definitely not be able to turn things around!
She said calmly, "Concubine Liu said I poisoned Cheng Zhao, so where is the evidence?"
She also wanted to know why her son was poisoned. She had taken every precaution, but still he was poisoned?
Upon seeing this, Concubine Liu said to her chief eunuch, Hua Shen, "Hua Shen, go and bring the person here!"
Hua Shen took the order and left.
Not long after, Hua Shen brought someone over. When Ning Yuxi saw who it was, she was shocked beyond words.
