Chapter 75: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor 75
The eldest princess got on the sedan chair and left the palace with a grand procession of ceremonial guards.
She had wanted to stay and admire Ji Yunhuan's painful and regretful expression, and then look at the grief-stricken expressions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but today was too embarrassing, and she was filled with anger and needed to vent, so she really couldn't stay any longer.
The Princess of Nanning was accompanying the Imperial Concubine. She was puzzled when she heard this. "What does the Princess mean by this? No wonder she is so desperate that she wants to attack the Empress?"
Ji Yunhuan suddenly covered her chest with her hands. Perhaps it was because of the mother-son bond, she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, and she almost fell to the ground with dizziness.
"Empress! Are you okay?" The Princess of Nanning was shocked and immediately supported Ji Yunhuan.
"Someone, send Princess Nanning back to Shuhua Palace. After the banquet is over, escort her and Prince An back to the palace."
Princess Nanning was worried, but she also knew that she could not help much. At least she could not cause trouble for the Imperial Concubine.
"Nanning, I'm leaving. Your Majesty, I will always remember your kindness. Please take care of yourself. I'll pay my respects to you another day."
Nan Ning left surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. An Liu glanced at the Imperial Concubine, and when she nodded at him, he followed her.
Although the eldest princess has left, who knows what tricks she might have up her sleeve. It's always better to be cautious.
Ji Yunhuan was in a state of confusion. With Taohong's help, he boarded the phoenix sedan chair. Taohong understood the Empress's intentions and immediately ordered:
"Go to Shoukang Palace, be smart, the Queen wants to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately!"
Inside Shoukang Palace.
Qin Yunhan cried loudly, his snow-white face turned red, tears were still hanging in the corners of his eyes. He cried sincerely and his voice was almost hoarse.
The Queen Mother was distressed and shed many tears. She walked around the room holding her grandson, muttering, "My dear Han'er, your crying is breaking my heart. Are you feeling unwell? Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"
Nanny Yan immediately responded, "We have sent someone to invite them."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been well-behaved. He never cries or makes a fuss, and he knows how to smile at people. In the entire Shoukang Palace, from the palace maids to the eunuchs, there is no one who dislikes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The empress dowager enjoyed playing with her grandchildren every day and was in a good mood. When her master was happy, the entire Shoukang Palace was filled with joy.
Now the prince couldn't stop crying, and everyone became anxious and took turns to comfort the child, but the prince's condition did not improve.
"Your Highness, please take a rest. Let me hold your arms for you for a while."
Nanny Yan saw that the Queen Mother was so tired that her arms were shaking, but she was still reluctant to put down the little prince, so she couldn't help but persuade her: "Your Highness is important, but you have to take care of yourself too."
Qin Yunhan was restless even when he was held in his arms. He waved his two little hands and cried, "Milk... Milk..."
The Queen Mother's heart was broken, how could she bear to let go of her darling grandson, "Okay, okay, grandma will hold you, grandma will not leave, grandma will always be with Han'er, Han'er must be fine, if anything happens to Han'er, grandma doesn't want to live anymore..."
Qin Yunhan was almost dying of anxiety!
He was just a baby and couldn't speak clearly. He tried hard to point at the wet nurse beside him and called for milk so many times. How could the Empress Dowager be so stupid!
When will mother come? If mother comes, she will definitely understand what he means.
So he could only cry even louder, until everyone was helpless and would naturally call his mother over.
Ji Yunhuan was extremely anxious and came in without waiting for the message. When Nanny Yan saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had seen a savior.
"I was just about to send someone to ask for the queen. I don't know what happened to her today. She started crying after waking up from her nap. I've been coaxing her for so long but she still hasn't gotten better. The queen mother is getting anxious and angry. If she continues to cry like this, she might get sick from exhaustion."
Qin Yunhan immediately threw himself into his mother's arms, his little mouth pursed, tears falling down in big drops, feeling extremely aggrieved, he kept nudging his little head into his mother's arms, whimpering softly: "Milk... milk..."
Ji Yunhuan saw that the word "Fu" on his son's palm was flashing, which showed that he was in danger and the danger had not been resolved yet.
Fortunately, my son is safe and sound, which shows that Ping An Fu is still very effective.
She knew that today would not be a peaceful day, so she transferred her blessing of peace to her son in advance. The blessing of peace can only be transferred to her child, not to anyone else.
Ji Yunhuan opened her clothes distressedly to feed her son, patted his head and gently comforted him: "Han'er is so smart, don't cry, mother already knows."
Qin Yunhan stopped crying as expected. He snuggled into his mother's arms and started to drink with hearty mouthfuls of milk. His mother's milk was still the most fragrant. He loved his mother the most!
The Queen Mother finally smiled. "Huan'er still has a solution. He stopped crying when you came. But it would be better to let the imperial physician take a look later. Han'er has always been well-behaved. He suddenly keeps crying. Maybe he is sick."
Ji Yunhuan nodded in response, "My Queen Mother has been thoughtful, so I'll naturally feel more at ease if I take a look."
She looked calmly at the three wet nurses kneeling on the ground. They were all the people who took care of the prince personally. As long as the prince was healthy, they had made great contributions. Now that the prince was crying pitifully, they were terrified and had already knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Why can't we see Nanny Tao? The Crown Prince has always liked her, why isn't she here to serve him?"
One of the nurses explained tremblingly, "To answer the Imperial Concubine, the Crown Prince always drinks milk after waking up from his afternoon nap, and Nanny Tao usually serves him. But today, for some reason, the Crown Prince started crying and refused to drink milk, and even scratched Nanny Tao."
"Right now, Nanny Tao is applying medicine in the side hall. I'm afraid she won't be able to serve Your Highness in the next few days."
Ji Yunhuan understood clearly that his son would not hurt others for no reason, so there must be something wrong with this Nanny Tao.
"Since she was injured while serving the Crown Prince, I cannot help but show sympathy. Call her in and I will personally reward her."
Qin Yunhan was full and lay comfortably in his mother's arms. His big watery eyes rolled around and he giggled.
As expected, my mother is the smartest and she grasped the key right away.
Nanny Tao was soon invited over. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I am so embarrassed that I failed to serve Your Highness well. How dare I ask for a reward from Your Highness?"
Ji Yunhuan gave Taohong beside him a look, and Taohong immediately took out an exquisite purse, which was filled with a bag of golden beans, and gave it to Nanny Tao as a reward.
Nanny Tao did not show the slightest sign of joy when she received the reward. Instead, she looked worried and became increasingly uneasy.
The Empress Dowager also noticed something, but she did not intervene and let the Imperial Concubine handle everything.
As they were talking, the imperial physician arrived. He carefully examined the little prince and said,
"The little prince is in good health. It seems that he just vomited milk. He will be fine if he can drink the milk. It is common for children to vomit milk. If you use medicine, it will not be good. It is better to observe carefully. I will come to take his pulse tomorrow."
Ji Yunhuan said, "Doctor Fan is an expert in pediatrics, so I naturally trust you. Since it's spitting up milk, what's wrong with the nurses? Why don't you ask Doctor Fan to check the nurses' pulses, so I can feel at ease."
"That's fine. The Imperial Concubine is kind and magnanimous. I will examine them for them."
As soon as these words came out, Nanny Tao's face changed immediately, and she subconsciously hid back, "This is against the rules. I am a lowly servant, so how dare I trouble the imperial physician to diagnose my pulse? Forget it."
