Chapter 163 Thank you Miss Qionghua
Suddenly, Lu Xinghui heard a series of footsteps approaching the palace gate.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Princess is resting." Lu Xinghui heard the voice of the maid beside him.
With a "creaky" sound, Lu Xinghui heard the sound of the palace door being pushed open again.
She huddled in the quilt and took a few steps back, as if she didn't dare to face the person who was coming.
She was afraid, very afraid.
She was just impulsive just now, thinking that her elder sister was loved by their father, but their father had never cared about her since their mother passed away.
She also thought about the high status of the Imperial Concubine now. She had failed in her attempt to poison Lu Xingwan and was confined to her room for several days. Now that her elder sister had entered the palace, she wanted to let these people know how powerful she was.
She ran back to Changqiu Palace and took out the cat that her mother had raised during her lifetime.
She knew that her elder sister was most afraid of cats.
But she didn't want to harm her elder sister's child.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Xinghui tried to comfort himself, "Big sister's child may not be in trouble, maybe he just fell lightly."
But Lu Xingruo's painful expression kept flashing through his mind.
At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Someone pulled the quilt off her head. Lu Xinghui fluttered her hands in panic: "It's not me, it's not me."
The person who came was indeed the third prince.
Seeing her like this, the Third Prince couldn't help but frowned: "What's not you?"
Lu Xinghui suddenly came to his senses: "Nothing, nothing, just a nightmare."
But he didn't dare to look the Third Prince in the eye.
The Third Prince knew what she had done, but he was unwilling to care about her anymore. He just asked in a cold voice, "Did you find out what I asked you to find out in the Royal Grandmother's palace today?"
Because of Concubine De, the Empress Dowager didn't like Lu Xinghui very much, so Lu Xinghui rarely went to Rongle Palace.
Today, my third elder brother asked me to find out privately what the Queen Mother eats on a daily basis, so that he could go and "fulfill his filial duty".
However, I was so focused on teasing my elder sister that I didn't even remember about Rongle Palace.
Then he replied in a panic: "Third... Third brother, I didn't go to Rongle Palace today."
"What else can you do?" The third prince suddenly became angry and threw away the quilt that was still wrapped around Lu Xinghui. "Besides playing, what else do you know how to do all day long?"
"Royal brother." Lu Xinghui was extremely afraid of the Third Prince. After being yelled at by him, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Just as the Third Prince was about to say something, Zhengzhong ran in from outside and said, "Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince turned around and looked at him. He knew that Zhengzhong would not come forward at this time if it was not something extremely urgent.
He immediately tried to suppress the anger in his heart and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"
Zhengzhong heard the Third Prince's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words into the Third Prince's ear.
When Lu Xinghui came back, he saw the Third Prince's expression changed drastically and he looked at him viciously.
To be honest, when Zhengzhong came in just now, Lu Xinghui breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Zhengzhong came to serve her third brother after her mother and grandfather passed away, but her third brother relied on him a lot.
Now that he has come to look for his third brother, he must have something important to tell him, so his third brother will leave him soon.
Seeing the Third Prince looking at him like this, Lu Xinghui couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and shrank back a step: "Third brother, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Did you do what happened to the eldest princess?" Although the third prince asked with doubt, his tone was decisive.
Zhengzhong came in to talk about the eldest princess who was frightened by a cat and fell down at the palace gate, and now the fetus is unstable and is being protected in Xingyang Palace.
Thinking of Lu Xinghui's panic just now, Lu Jinchen was certain that this matter must be related to Lu Xinghui.
"No, no, big sister fell down by herself." Lu Xinghui was extremely scared and quickly denied it.
But after all, he was just a child of five or six years old. How could he withstand the intimidation from the Third Prince? He sold himself out with just one sentence.
"When did I say that the eldest princess fell down?" Upon hearing this, the third prince looked at Lu Xinghui even more gloomily.
Lu Xinghui suddenly covered his mouth and dared not speak again.
The third prince was too lazy to say another word and just walked away.
Lu Xinghui breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared just now, fearing that her third brother would really beat her to death.
But what she didn't expect was that something even worse was waiting for her.
The Third Prince left Lu Xing and returned to the palace. He changed his mind and told Zhengzhong who was beside him a few words. After receiving the instructions, Zhengzhong hurriedly trotted away.
The third prince paused, then turned and went to Xingyang Palace.
When the third prince arrived, Miss Qionghua had already arrived at Xingyang Palace and was taking the eldest princess' pulse.
Qionghua did not follow Song Qingyan back to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, so when the prince's secret guards arrived at the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Song Qingyan called Juying: "Juying, go tell Miss Qionghua to go to Xingyang Palace to diagnose the eldest princess."
"I just don't know if Miss Qionghua knows anything about gynecology. In any case, stay by her side and send me a message after she has examined me."
"I obey your command." Juying knew that Song Qingyan was worried about this matter, so she said no more and flew away from Dingguo Marquis Mansion.
The Third Prince saw the Crown Prince standing guard outside and hurried forward: "Brother, how is my sister?"
When the Crown Prince saw that it was the Third Prince, he could not help but shudder, but he tried to control his emotions: "There is a female doctor inside who is seeing patients right now."
But he was unwilling to say another word.
However, his heart was in turmoil. Xing Ruo's matter must be related to Xiao Liu, but did it have anything to do with his third brother?
After a while, Qiong Hua came out from inside: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already given the princess acupuncture. Combined with the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhao, the princess will be able to get out of bed in three days."
The prince was about to say something when Doctor Zhao's voice came from behind Qiong Hua. His voice was full of surprise: "Young lady is really amazing."
Doctor Wang followed behind him and said, "Thank you for your guidance today, young lady. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to learn from you in the future."
This actually shocked everyone around. Doctor Wang was an expert in gynecology, and most of the births of the concubines in the palace were taken care of by him.
Now he actually asked a yellow-haired girl for advice, it was really...
Unbelievable.
When the prince heard what Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang said, he knew that Xing Ruo was safe, and he immediately bowed to Qiong Hua and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality today, Miss Qiong Hua."
Qiong Hua followed Song Qingyan every day, so she knew the rules of the palace. She bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness is too polite. Since it is the Queen's order, I will do my best."
What this means is that I will do whatever our queen tells me to do, but if it is someone else's order, that may not be the case.
The Third Prince looked at her and smiled gently, "Who is this female doctor?"
