Tong Cheng'er had no idea that her illness had touched the hearts of so many people, including important figures. Lying in bed, she couldn't care less about all that.
The palace maid fed her medicine, and she was able to drink some of it with difficulty, but by the next day, she still hadn't gotten better.
This has made many people anxious.
The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy had to go to Chuxiu Palace almost every hour.
By noon the next day, Tong Cheng'er was still not better, constantly calling out for her mother. The imperial physician said that it helps when a sick person has family around.
Having no other choice, Emperor Kangxi had to send Tong Cheng'er out of the palace.
Tong Cheng'er was brought back suddenly, and she was still sick. When Shumulu saw her, tears streamed down her face. While holding the medicine, she kept saying, "My poor daughter..."
Tong Cheng'er wanted to say something comforting, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't have the strength to speak. In the end, she drank the medicine and drifted off to sleep again.
Shumulu left with red eyes after she fell asleep.
When they came out and encountered Alhatu, she asked in a choked voice, "Have you found out what happened?"
Thinking about his daughter's condition, Alhatu frowned and said, "I found out that my daughter was frightened and caught a chill, which is why she fell ill. The Imperial Hospital prescribed medicine, but it didn't help. His Majesty was so kind as to send her back."
Upon hearing this, Shumulu sighed, then breathed a sigh of relief.
So be it if she's sent out of the palace midway! Anyway, she didn't expect her daughter to find someone of equal social standing, and a son-in-law who marries into the family isn't necessarily unacceptable.
Now that she's sick, it's best to have someone by her side to comfort her; she's truly afraid.
At the same time, Shumulu felt that the palace was not a good place. Her daughter had been healthy at home for more than ten years, but after going to the palace for only half a month, she fell ill and came out.
He had a bellyful of resentment with nowhere to vent it, so he could only keep it bottled up inside and take care of his daughter.
The morning after Tong Cheng'er returned home, she opened her eyes and felt more awake, no longer feeling groggy like she had for the previous two days.
She felt much better.
Shumulu quickly summoned the royal physician to take her pulse. The physician then said, "Madam, the princess's fever has subsided. I will change the prescription later. She just needs to drink it for a couple of days to recover."
In short, nothing's wrong.
Upon hearing this, Shumulu finally smiled.
"Thank God, it's finally all better."
After seeing the physician off, Madam Shumulu asked her daughter, "Is there anything else wrong with your health?"
Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "I feel fine."
She has been feeling a bit unwell these past few days, but to be honest, she's not in any particular pain. Most of the time, she just feels drowsy and lacks energy, so she spends most of her time sleeping.
A few days passed in a flash, and she didn't feel like she was suffering much.
Tong Cheng'er herself found it strange that she got sick so "easily".
She was unlucky in her past life, and getting fevers and colds was a frequent occurrence. It was really uncomfortable, especially when she was sick, she couldn't even find anyone to bring her hot water. She suffered both physically and mentally, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was in deep water and fire.
Upon hearing this, Shumulu said with a smile, "It's good that you're not feeling unwell. Is there anything you want to eat? Your mother will have the kitchen make it for you. You haven't been eating well these past two days, just drinking a lot of bitter medicine."
Tong Cheng'er: "Mother, just do whatever you think is best."
Since it was food prepared by the household and they knew her dietary restrictions, she wasn't too picky.
After hearing what she said, Shumulu went to prepare the meal.
The news of Tong Cheng'er's recovery also reached the ears of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yinzhen.
When Yinzhen found out, he was simply happy.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi was both pleased and somewhat puzzled. The fact that the person recovered so quickly after leaving the palace seemed a bit odd.
It's like this illness was caused by the palace.
Fortunately, things are alright now, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to choose a fourth wife.
Tong Cheng'er recovered from her illness, and the Tong family was very happy.
As for the fact that she was sent back midway through the talent show, that was no longer important compared to Tong Cheng'er's safety.
None of the Tong family members believed that the Emperor would bestow a marriage upon Tong Cheng'er, so the family was now trying to find out which young man would be suitable to marry into the family.
After Tong Cheng'er's illness, Shumulu Shi was truly worried about marrying her off. She felt more at ease having her daughter under her watchful eye!
The family was surprisingly harmonious and showed no signs of worry.
After all, being sent out of the palace due to illness was not a matter of moral failings, so it wouldn't have far-reaching consequences.
Tong Cheng'er was able to jump around again in less than two days after being kept at home.
She thought it was fine this way. She had lived in the palace for half a month. Although she had stories to read and it wasn't tiring, it wasn't as comfortable as being at home.
It's so good to be home! I can sleep whenever I want, and someone will bring me whatever I want to eat. The best part is that I don't have to write anymore. For me, not having to pick up a pen to write is better than writing a hundred words a day.
Comfortable days pass by quickly.
The talent show ended in the blink of an eye.
Yinzhen had originally planned to find a way to end this year's selection of concubines ahead of schedule, but after Tong Cheng'er was sent out of the palace, he stopped thinking about it.
When Yinzhen heard from Su Peisheng that the selection of candidates was over, he felt it had happened a little too quickly. After all, there was no one he cared about among the candidates, so he didn't need to care so much.
Not caring, and being fully immersed in the task at hand, one naturally feels that time flies by.
The afternoon after the talent show ended, Tong Cheng'er was taking a nap and having a sweet dream when she heard Ru Xue and Ru Lan hurriedly wake her up.
Tong Cheng'er muttered, "What's going on?"
Rulan said anxiously, "Princess, please get up quickly, someone from the palace has come."
