Chapter 37 Falling Sick
When Nanny Qin saw the Crown Prince coming, she wanted to complain, and she severely complained about the Crown Princess.
But she still held back.
She has been in this palace for so many years, and she is not going to be so proud of herself just because her master has given her a little favor.
To put it nicely, my master is Donggong Fengyi.
To put it bluntly, she was just a small concubine, only a little bit more noble than the concubines of ordinary people.
And who is the Crown Princess?
She was the prince's legally married wife, carried into the palace in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and the future mother of the country.
What's wrong with making a little concubine kneel in the rain for an hour?
Who dares to say anything bad about the Crown Princess?
Nanny Qin didn't dare to say anything bad about the Crown Princess in front of the Crown Prince. She just said with red eyes: "Your Highness, Fengyi is asleep and keeps thinking about you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shixu sat down at the head of Wen Li'er's bed.
Her face was flushed red, her brows were furrowed, and her lips were very pale.
She was indeed mumbling something.
He leaned forward to listen closer and heard Wen Li'er say, "Your Highness, I am very cold."
Yan Shixu's heart suddenly softened, and he ordered Yongtai to go back to his Yuqing Palace to send some charcoal, and personally added an extra quilt for her.
The noise woke up Wen Li'er, who was sleeping in a daze.
She looked at him with her watery eyes: "Your Highness, are you here to see me?"
Yan Shixu hummed softly and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.
"How do you feel?"
"Well, who are you?"
Yan Shixu was stunned for a moment, and his heart tightened when he saw her suddenly unfocused eyes.
Why don’t I recognize him suddenly?
He ordered Yongtai, "Go and call Judge He."
Yongtai was a little surprised for a moment.
Which judge is Your Highness referring to?
But this He Yuanpan was the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He originally only diagnosed the pulse of the Emperor, Empress Dowager He and the Crown Prince. Now it was not appropriate to ask him to treat Fengyi.
Seeing that he didn't go, Yan Shixu frowned slightly and his voice became a little colder.
"Not going yet?"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Yongtai hurriedly left Yaohua Palace and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When Judge He heard the news, he hurried to the Eastern Palace. He originally thought that the prince was ill, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be one of the prince's attendants.
After a moment of stunned silence, he hurried forward to take the man's pulse.
Yan Shixu asked: "Is it serious?"
Court Judge He paused for a moment before replying, "It's a bit serious. Wen Fengyi must have had a serious illness last year, and his foundation hasn't recovered yet. Now the evil cold has entered his body..."
He paused, then continued, "Based on my years of experience in pulse diagnosis, Wen Fengyi is still suffering from excessive exhaustion. Your Highness should exercise restraint when going to bed."
Yan Shixu: "..."
He twitched the corners of his mouth dryly.
"Then prescribe all the medicines, including those for healing, conditioning, and strengthening the body."
"yes."
He Yuanpan walked to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone equipped by the palace maids, quickly wrote down three prescriptions, and asked the palace maids to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine according to them.
Qingzhu took the prescription and walked out.
After Judge He left, Yan Shixu went to see Wen Li'er lying on the bed.
Wen Li'er had sobered up a bit by now and apologized, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have made you worry about me. I'm fine now. Please go and take care of your own business."
The prince suddenly became angry. He scolded, "She punished you to kneel in the rain for an hour, and you didn't know how to run away? You can come find me."
Wen Li'er opened her white lips slightly, a little dumbfounded.
Is this still possible?
Seeing her silly look, Yan Shixu sighed.
He touched her forehead and found it was still hot.
Only after Nanny Qin brought the medicine did he feed her himself and instruct the palace servants to take good care of her before leaving.
Nanny Qin's originally gloomy face finally showed some smile.
She said to Wen Li'er on the bed, "Master, the Crown Prince really cares about you. You must get better soon and don't fulfill the wish of the one in Fuyao Palace."
Wen Li'er didn't respond and closed her eyes.
The Crown Princess's punishment on her today was clearly a warning to her not to challenge authority.
Wen Li'er felt that she might as well take this opportunity to avoid the spotlight.
…
But here is Fuyao Palace.
Nanny Zhuang was also extremely anxious.
The Crown Princess completely ignored the advice today and insisted on punishing Wen Fengyi.
Kneeling in the rain on such a rainy day, wouldn't something go wrong?
Now that the Crown Prince dotes on Wen Fengyi so much, it is natural that the Crown Princess will be annoyed.
If they act like this, the relationship between the couple will probably become more and more distant.
But Xie Zhenrong was not afraid.
"Nurse, don't worry about it. If His Highness dares to blame me for such a trivial matter, I will go to the Queen Mother to seek justice!"
The prince used to dislike entering the inner courtyard.
Being able to rest here for two days a month is already the best I can do.
But this month, he stayed at Wen Fengyi's place for eighteen days!
On the 18th, is Wen Fengyi the reincarnation of a fox spirit?
She was the Crown Princess, but His Highness slapped her in the face.
She can't do anything to the prince, and she can't punish a little Fengyi?
If so, then the prince should just let Wen Lier be the crown princess!
Fortunately, the prince did not come to her to question her for two consecutive days.
Nanny Zhuang gradually felt relieved.
But that night, Hongbi's body was fished out of a well!
Nanny Zhuang gasped, and even Xie Zhenrong's face turned pale.
No one believed that this was not the work of the prince.
But there is no evidence that the prince sent someone to kill Hongbi.
The prince was warning her that if she dared to touch Wen Li'er again, it would not just be a matter of one palace maid dying.
Xie Zhenrong was so angry that he smashed a lot of things.
Hongbi was her maidservant who came with her as a dowry, but His Highness dealt with her so quietly. He really had a cruel heart.
Xie Zhenrong was about to rush to the Cining Palace to complain, but was stopped by Madam Zhuang.
"Crown Princess, you can't do that. The Crown Prince has already become hostile to you because of this matter. If you go to the Queen Mother and accuse him of this again without providing any evidence, not only will the Crown Prince be disgusted with you, but the Queen Mother will be disgusted with you as well."
Xie Zhenrong almost bit her white teeth to pieces.
As the Crown Princess, she is really feeling very aggrieved.
For the next month, Wen Li'er did not attend the emperor's bed again because her illness had not yet fully recovered, and naturally she did not go to pay her respects to the Crown Princess.
It was the Crown Princess herself who sent Caixia to deliver the message, asking her to wait until she was fully recovered before paying her respects.
A lot of top-quality bird's nests were also delivered.
The Crown Princess's behavior of giving a slap and then a candy made Nanny Qin sneer.
Qingmei went outside to inquire and found out that the prince did not summon the other two concubines to sleep with him, and he did not even go to the Crown Princess's place on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
The Crown Princess is doing this for the Crown Prince to see.
To be honest, the Crown Princess is not really a mistress with powerful means.
If he was really a powerful person, he would punish and kill people quietly, leaving Wen Li'er dead without any evidence.
In this way, not only did he get rid of the thorn in his side, but he also prevented the prince from blaming him.
If he were smarter, he would have spent more time trying to win over the prince instead of taking out his anger on a little Fengyi.
After all, Fengyi was just doing his job.
Now that the prince has come to visit, can Fengyi still drive him away?
