"What's going on?"
When Chen Dexuan heard about the lifeblood of the Chen family, his beloved son Chen Yi developed a high fever and immediately got up from his arms and legs.
As soon as he returned to the general's mansion, he rushed to the room where Chen Yi was.
Then, his own daughter, who was also his own flesh and blood, never enjoyed such treatment until her soul left this world.
"Master, you are finally back, Yi'er..."
When Chen heard Chen Dexuan's voice, she pretended to be weak and frail, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and sobbed softly.
She smelled the scent of powder on Chen Dexuan's body, and a cold light flashed in her lowered eyes.
While Yi'er was ill, he was actually looking for prostitutes.
When Chen Dexuan saw Chen crying, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
"What happened to Yi'er?"
Women are trouble.
If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a child for his Chen family.
He had long been tired of a middle-aged woman like Chen.
Chen Dexuan calmly half-armed Chen's shoulders and said, "Madam, don't be anxious. Please speak slowly."
"Master, I don't know what happened to Yi'er. I just went to take a bath, and when I returned to the room, I saw that Yi'er's face was not right. I touched his forehead and found that Yi'er had a high fever."
Chen said.
Each of them had their own thoughts.
"Has anyone been sent to call for a doctor?" Chen Dexuan asked.
"I asked my maid to fetch the doctor right away, but he hasn't come yet."
The anxiety on Chen's face at this moment was real.
In the past six months since she entered the mansion, she has already seen through Chen Dexuan.
In her eyes, he was just a dog that would never stop eating shit.
Chen no longer counts on Chen Dexuan.
It’s just that his son is still young and needs his father.
Otherwise there would be no need for him to exist.
"Madam, madam, the doctor is here."
The maid led in a doctor who was over fifty years old.
Chen Dexuan hurried forward to greet him, "Doctor, please come in."
"Who is feeling unwell?"
The doctor was old and his eyesight was not very good. He squinted and scanned the people in the room.
Chen pointed at Chen Yi on the bed and said, "Doctor, my son is not feeling well."
"Okay, I'll take your pulse first." The doctor nodded and raised his hand to stroke his long gray beard.
He walked to the bed carrying a medical box.
After a moment.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
When Chen saw the doctor finish taking her pulse, she began to ask.
"Madam, don't worry. Your son just caught a cold and has internal heat. I will prescribe two doses of antipyretic medicine for him. After taking it for two days, he will get better."
Chen nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor." She turned her head and looked at the maid beside her, "Go to the accounting office to get the consultation fee for the doctor, and then follow the doctor to the medical hall to get the medicine."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid lowered her eyes and bowed.
A corner of the general's mansion.
"Bah! You really think you are the mistress of the general's mansion." A maid in green spat.
"Keep your voice down, don't let the lady hear..."
"Madam? What kind of madam is she? Have you been brainwashed by Chen?"
Another maid in pink looked around and then reminded the maid in green.
The pink-dressed maid sighed, "Alas, the old general and the young lady are gone, and the young lady has entered the palace again. Now the general's mansion is the world of the son-in-law and the second wife. We are servants with little influence and can only tread on thin ice."
"I really envy Yuzhu and Fuling. They have been with the young lady since they were young, and they left the general's mansion with the young lady." The green-clad maid said enviously.
"I wonder how the young lady is doing in the palace?"
"Young lady is now the Queen Mother. The new emperor should give the Buddha a favor. It should be better than staying in the General's Mansion."
"Yeah, the young lady has a hard life. Now that the young lady is gone, the son-in-law ignores her even more. Chen doesn't like the young lady. It's good for her to enter the palace. At least she can live in peace."
After they finished speaking, they both lowered their heads and remained silent.
Many of the servants in the general's mansion had been cared for by the old general and Li Wanwan.
They sincerely hope that Li Xia can live a good life.
"Let's go to work." The maid in pink broke the silence first.
"Well, let's go."
The night deepens.
Not long after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Chen Yi broke out in a sweat and his high fever gradually subsided.
Chen took care of him for half the night, but finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
After Chen Dexuan heard the doctor say that Chen Yi was not seriously injured, he found another excuse and left the house.
Without having to think, Chen could guess that he must have gone out to meet those vixen women.
But she played dumb and pretended not to know.
Chen knew very well that she was no longer young and could not compare with those young women out there.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to act like a shrew in front of Chen Dexuan.
but.
Just because she can't fight head-on doesn't mean she can't use dirty tricks behind the scenes.
Chen would not sit idly by and watch the status she had worked so hard to gain being taken away by another woman.
“Big sister…”
Chen Yi kept muttering Li Xia and slowly opened his eyes.
In order to make it easier to take care of him, the room was lit with candles.
Chen Yi sat up from the bed. He turned his head and saw Chen who was sleeping on the edge of the bed.
He just opened his mouth and wanted to call her.
"No, mother doesn't like me looking for my elder sister. I can't wake her up."
Chen Yi muttered softly.
If his mother doesn't tell him where his elder sister is, he will go find her himself.
Not at home.
He sneaked out of the house.
“Squeak—”
Chen Yi tiptoed out of bed and subconsciously held his breath when he opened the door.
Late at night, there was no one in or outside the market except the night watchmen.
"Big sister, where are you?" Chen Yi walked forward aimlessly.
"Whose little kid are you from? Why are you still outside so late?"
The old night watchman noticed him and asked him with concern.
Chen Yi blinked and looked up at the old man, "Grandpa, I'm looking for my big sister."
"You got separated from your sister?"
"No." Chen Yi shook his head and said, "They said that my elder sister entered the palace. What is the palace?"
"Oh, so your sister is a maid in the palace."
"Maid?"
Chen Yi scratched his head.
The old man raised the lantern in his hand and pointed to a row of solemn vermilion gates. "That's the palace gate. Once you enter that, you'll find the magnificent palace. Your sister is there."
When Chen Yi heard this, his dark eyes suddenly sparkled like stars, and he said happily: "Grandpa, I want to go find my big sister."
"Little kid, not everyone can enter the palace. You'd better go home quickly."
The old man gave Chen Yi some instructions and continued to keep watch along the way.
"stop!"
"Sir, I am here to deliver food to the imperial kitchen. This is the token."
Chen Yi stared at the cart in front of the palace gate and rolled his eyes.
