This outcome seems to be very similar to the result of those scoundrels from the Hesheli clan offending His Majesty last time.
This was actually within the expectations of most people.
However, His Majesty's thoughts have become increasingly difficult to fathom.
Logically speaking, Prince Zhi should have been highly valued after returning to the capital, given his meritorious service. However, apart from some rewards, His Majesty didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, he kept a close eye on the Imperial Hospital and inquired about the Crown Prince's health every day.
But when the Crown Prince was kneeling in the rain, His Majesty didn't say anything, did he?
Everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
But no one dared to say it aloud.
However, although the Crown Prince was deeply entangled in the Hesheli clan this time, he was also able to escape because of the Hesheli clan in the end, which makes people sigh a bit.
However, Fourth Master simply didn't have the energy to think about all the details right now.
The Fourth Prince's cold was entirely his own doing; he should have recovered after a few days of rest and recuperation. However, even while ill, he was still preoccupied with his duties at the Ministry of Revenue, which only prolonged his illness.
After everything was settled, Fourth Master's voice became so hoarse that he could no longer speak.
However, the Fourth Prince did not make a fuss. He directly ordered Su Peisheng to keep it a secret and not let anyone in the backyard know about it, not even the imperial physician.
If people in the backyard knew that Fourth Master was ill, they would go to great lengths to visit him, which would only make things more unsettling.
When the Fourth Prince was at the Ministry of Revenue, he asked Su Peisheng to find a doctor outside, who would take his pulse, prescribe medicine, and he would just need to rest.
Fourth Master deliberately kept it a secret, and although Li Chenjiao knew about it, she didn't do anything extra.
How did she find out? It's not that Li Chenjiao has become so capable and bold that she dared to plant spies around the Fourth Master. Even if the Fourth Master had the courage, she wouldn't dare.
Instead, it was the clever second princess who came skipping home after school one day and told her that her father couldn't speak anymore...
It turned out that when the Second Princess was sleeping in the front yard, the Fourth Prince had just returned from outside. The little girl naturally pestered the Fourth Prince to talk as usual, but the Fourth Prince seemed a bit indifferent. Then, they heard the Fourth Prince's hoarse voice.
Considering that Fourth Master hadn't entered the backyard for six or seven days, Li Chenjiao guessed that he probably had caught a cold.
After two days of heavy rain, the weather had been exceptionally good. Li Chenjiao felt stuffy even after just a walk under the corridor. Catching a cold at this time would indeed be quite uncomfortable.
The Second Prince was also ill, but not because of the rain. Rather, his body was too hot to withstand the cold, and he would inevitably fall ill whenever the weather changed.
The Fujin had already sent someone to inform the Fourth Prince, but he didn't even bother to come and see her in the front courtyard.
This naturally chilled the heart of the Fujin (Prince's wife). In the past, whenever the Second Prince had any business, the Fourth Prince, as their father, would always come to visit and sit down.
Now look what's happened...
The princess also knew some things about the outside world. The Yao people's rebellion had long been quelled, and the corrupt people involved had been punished.
What could Fourth Master possibly be busy with these days?
The only thing that brought the Fujin some comfort was that although the Fourth Prince did not come to see her Second Prince, he also did not go to other places in the backyard.
I wonder what Fourth Master has been busy with...
Could it be that he's been bewitched by the maid in the front yard? Something like that happened at the Third Master's residence before...
With that thought in mind, the Fujin naturally had more to do; she had long been fed up with the maids in the front courtyard.
However, the Second Prince is currently ill, and his studies are often delayed and he falls behind. Fortunately, the Third Prince is a clever boy, and every day after school he knows to take the initiative to go to the Second Prince and tell him what the teacher has talked about.
Although the Princess Consort would have Haha Zhuzi, who served the Second Prince, write down every word the teacher said each day and repeat it to the Second Prince, she was naturally satisfied to see that the Third Prince was as usual.
Xu Shi was better at raising children than Wu Shi; this is what a son born out of wedlock should do.
The Fourth Prince's illness came on quickly and went away quickly. He had fully recovered in just a few days, but as soon as he recovered, he thought that the Crown Prince was still ill, so he went to Yuqing Palace with the Third and Fifth Princes to visit him. As a result, he fell ill again as soon as he returned.
Fortunately, this time it wasn't too serious; it's just that my throat is often uncomfortable.
It wasn't until June that I gradually recovered completely.
Fourth Prince has fully recovered, but Crown Prince is still ill. Last time Fourth Prince and Third Prince visited him, they almost didn't recognize Crown Prince because he was so thin.
The Crown Prince is so thin he looks like a ghost.
Prince Zhi also sent people to offer condolences several times, but Prince Hongyu in his household was not doing well, and he was often not seen.
The rain in May was like a blow to many people, and quite a few fell ill. In early June, Suo Xiang in the Hesheli clan also fell ill.
I heard that she didn't just fall ill recently, she's just been keeping it a secret...
Prime Minister Su was already quite old, and this illness was no minor ailment like that of the Fourth Prince.
Fourth Master still sent Su Peisheng to deliver the consolation gifts, but Prime Minister Su is currently "reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors," so naturally, he cannot be seen.
The thing people fear most in life is being plagued by illness.
After Fourth Master recovered from his illness, he waited a few more days before slowly going into the backyard to see the children, but he only went to see them every few days.
He went to see the eldest prince first. After the day he took the fourth prince and the eldest prince out of the mansion for a day, the eldest prince seemed to be closer to the fourth prince than before.
This was certainly something the Fourth Prince was happy to see, and he was also planning to take the Second Prince out once he was feeling better.
Then the Fourth Prince went to see the First Princess, then the Second and Third Princes, and finally the Second Princess and the Fourth Prince.
By the time we went to see the Second Princess and the Fourth Prince, it was almost the end of June.
However, after seeing the children, the Fourth Prince rested in the front yard for a few more days.
Su Peisheng was quite worried about this, thinking that his master was being a bit too... ascetic.
Finally, Su Peisheng waited for a day when the Crown Prince's health had improved and his master was in a good mood, and then hinted, "The flowers in the garden are all in full bloom. The other day, the Princess Consort gave Liu Gege and Niu Hulu Gege a few pots of flowers that are blooming beautifully. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Fourth Master had just finished his official business when he heard Su Peisheng's words and glanced at him: "What time is it?"
Su Peisheng looked outside and realized, well, it was already dark... What flowers could he possibly be admiring?
He said with a long face, "The lotus flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and they look quite beautiful at night..."
After hearing this, Fourth Master pondered for a few seconds: "Your Master Li likes to eat lotus seeds, so change the name and buy some from outside to send to your Master Li. Since the lotus flowers are blooming so well, let us also pick a few and send them to your Master Li to see."
Su Peisheng: Huh?
