Hearing this, Ning Yuxi quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's going on? Why did they all suddenly fall ill? Have you asked the imperial physician to see them?"
Ruyi said, "My lord, the imperial physician has gone, and the cause of the illness has not yet been determined. However, the emperor is heading towards Chonghua Palace right now. Your Majesty, please go and take a look as soon as possible."
We have to go and take a look. Ning Yuxi didn't delay and didn't even eat. She took Ruyi and Luoying and went straight to Chonghua Palace.
Soon the master, servant and two of them arrived at Chonghua Palace. Normally the concubines would not come here, but the situation was pressing. When Ning Yuxi stepped into Chonghua Palace, the emperor's ceremonial guard was already in the courtyard.
It was obvious that the emperor had arrived, so she didn't waste a moment and went straight into the bedroom.
Although the eldest prince and the second prince live in the same Chonghua Palace, they both have their own separate residences. However, their residences are not far from each other. The imperial physician is examining them separately. The emperor is currently in the main hall of the eldest prince's bedroom. After all, he is the eldest son, so the emperor pays more attention to him.
Ning Yuxi also went to the emperor and saluted him respectfully. When the emperor absentmindedly asked her to stand up, she hurried over to the emperor and comforted him:
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. It's the changing of seasons now, and people tend to get sick more easily in spring. Don't be too anxious. Take care of your body."
She didn't have time to eat after she arrived. The emperor arrived earlier than her and naturally didn't have time to eat either.
Besides, he was frowning at the moment, and it was not a good thing for him to be worried all the time, so she naturally had to comfort him.
The emperor said "hmm" softly, and suddenly asked, "Are Chengzhao and the others okay?" With two of his sons falling ill at once, he couldn't help but worry about the other children.
Ning Yuxi said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Cheng Zhao, Cheng Yao, and Shu Xuan are all doing well."
"Well, that's good."
After saying this, the emperor fell silent, stood there with his hands behind his back, and waited for the imperial physician's consultation with a little worry.
After about a quarter of an hour, the judge finally came out and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's symptoms are the same as those of an ordinary cold, but I have given him medicine.
The symptoms only eased slightly, returning to their original state after a while. Therefore, I believe this is not just a common cold. I still need to carefully consider the specific diagnosis and treatment methods. For now, I can only use the previous prescription and combine it with acupuncture to provide some relief."
After hearing what Wang Yuanpan said, the emperor frowned even deeper, obviously not satisfied with the answer. However, with so many imperial doctors consulting together, the result reported to him by Wang Yuanpan was the best result they had discussed so far.
"Can you tell what caused the symptoms?" Since it is not an ordinary cold, then there must be a triggering cause for this disease.
The judge said: "Your Majesty, we are incompetent and have not yet found the cause. However, I have noticed that the eldest prince's breathing is short and hoarse, and his lungs are burning.
It could be caused by inhaling something like pollen, but that remains to be verified."
Gu Qilan was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "I understand. You all have heard clearly. No matter what the cost, we must cure the First and Second Princes!"
Judge Wang agreed with great trepidation.
Ning Yuxi followed the emperor into the inner room to see the eldest prince. At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His slightly furrowed brows showed that he was not sleeping comfortably.
The imperial physician had given him medicine and acupuncture, and his condition had been temporarily relieved, but even so, he was still uncomfortable, especially because his face was a little red due to shortness of breath.
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for him with a worried look on his face. Ning Yuxi stood beside him without saying a word. The emperor must be worried and anxious at the moment, and she couldn't hear anything she said.
At this time, Song Qu came in and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince's doctor has also diagnosed him, and his symptoms are exactly the same as the First Prince's."
Ning Yuxi felt that Emperor Zhou Shen had become even colder. He said nothing and gestured for Song Qu to leave.
Since the two have the same symptoms, they must have the same disease. Ning Yuxi thinks that the eldest prince looks like he has some kind of flu. Influenza is more common in spring, so is there a risk of infection?
Thinking of this, she quietly withdrew and went to find the wet nurse who was taking care of the eldest prince and asked, "Have those of you who serve the eldest prince felt unwell recently?"
The maid thought for a moment and then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we are not feeling unwell."
Hearing this, Ning Yuxi felt relieved, as long as it wasn't contagious.
As she walked back into the inner room, she heard a commotion outside the door: "This servant pays respects to the Queen."
Hearing the sound, Ning Yuxi turned around and looked outside. Sure enough, the next moment she saw the queen walking in quickly with an anxious look on her face.
Ning Yuxi went forward to greet her, but the Queen was in no mood to pay attention to her. She rushed to the bed and threw herself beside Gu Qilan who was sitting on the bed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how is Chengxuan?"
Gu Qilan looked at her with a hint of displeasure: "If I remember correctly, the Queen is under house arrest."
The queen has been under house arrest for a month, and it's not time yet. The emperor is naturally unhappy that she came out without permission.
The Queen, however, showed no remorse. She cried, "I miss Chengxuan so much that I cannot rest in peace without taking care of him myself. I beg Your Majesty to understand. When Chengxuan recovers, I will follow Your Majesty's orders."
It was rare for her to be so humble. Gu Qilan could see that she was really worried about Chengxuan. After all, Chengxuan was also the queen's son.
He suppressed his anger a little and said nothing more.
After a while, Concubine Xin also came. She was the biological mother of the second prince and was still under house arrest. Although she missed her son, she was also afraid of the emperor. However, when she heard that the queen had come, she thought that the emperor would not blame her too much if she came again.
Although the emperor was angry, he also knew that as parents, they naturally missed their children. Besides, he had already let the queen stay, so it would be wrong to not let Concubine Xin stay.
