The night is deep.
Half to please, half to be passive, Jiang Ying was tormented by Yan Zhuo for half the night. He didn't even want to go back to the dormitory. He just wanted to slip into the space and sleep.
Because tomorrow we will go up the mountain very early.
Unexpectedly, while she was still struggling and hadn't made a final decision, a group of people carrying lanterns came rushing by, shouting anxiously, "Mrs. Jiang, something bad has happened!"
Jiang Ying subconsciously hid in the cabin. It was the middle of the night and someone was shouting so loudly!
Was she afraid that others wouldn't hear her and Yan Zhuo hanging out together?
Yan Zhuo was a sensible person. He had just satisfied himself twice, so he was in a very good mood. After tidying up his clothes, he held Jiang Ying down and kissed her slightly messy temples. "I'll go distract them. You find a good time to show up again."
"Get lost!" Jiang Ying said in a very unhappy tone.
After Yan Zhuo went out to hold the boat for a while, she quietly got off the boat, walked along the path into the garden, crossed the small wooden bridge, and then walked towards the place where people came and went.
The light of the lantern flickered in the dark night.
"What happened?" He walked forward and asked in a puzzled and calm tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a look from Yan Zhuo that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
As if praising her, little guy, you acted well~
Jiang Ying rolled his eyes secretly. He recognized that the person was Huang Mingquan, so it must be that something happened to the emperor or someone else in a high position.
I lament that being a doctor is really busy.
But unexpectedly, it was the eldest princess who fell ill!
"He was fine earlier, but he developed a fever in the middle of the night. The emperor asked us to come over and tell you to go and have a look." Huang Mingquan was anxious but Jiang Ying took a look and saw nothing wrong.
In order to prevent outsiders from knowing about the royal scandal, the emperor kept it secret and only found an excuse to execute Concubine Zhao and Lin Qinfeng. The eldest princess suppressed it first and pretended to give the child to Concubine Qiao for care, pretending that it looked serious. As a result, Qiu Lie deliberately brought the child out, and the child fell ill on the first day. Anyone who knew the inside story could see it at a glance.
This is to let the eldest princess die quietly from illness!
It certainly won't happen that quickly. They first create a scene for everyone that the princess is sick, and then she gets sicker and sicker, and then dies. This way, people outside won't get suspicious.
Seeing Jiang Ying's gloomy face and her lips tightly pursed without saying a word, Huang Mingquan knew that she understood.
Smiling, he urged, "Madam, please hurry up and don't let Concubine Qiao wait anxiously."
…
"Don't mention it, Concubine Qiao has only been raising the eldest princess for a few days, and it seems that she really loves the child.
The eldest princess felt unwell that night, and it was said that Concubine Qiao kept holding her and comforting her, and when it really didn't work, she asked the Emperor for this oral order."
On the way, Huang Mingquan kept talking.
After saying so much, I still don’t know what I want to express specifically.
Jiang Ying remained silent the entire time. Upon hearing this, he glanced up and said, "Eunuch Huang, are you saying this to make me understand that Concubine Qiao is actually kind to the eldest princess?"
A child who is destined to die, whether she has feelings for Concubine Qiao or Concubine Qiao is reluctant to let her go, it is not a good thing!
So the emperor, although he seems to be very good to women, is actually very cold-blooded.
Everyone in the harem is just a tool for him to play with when he likes and to keep around when he doesn't.
Including Concubine Chen, even if she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, what qualitative difference would there be?
The royal family is ruthless, and Jiang Ying is glad that Yan Zhuo is not the emperor.
Huang Mingquan choked for a moment, then immediately laughed it off, "No, no, that's not what we meant. We just ran out of things to say late at night, so we just said a few words to liven up the atmosphere."
There was no way Jiang Ying believed him. He turned around and looked at Yan Zhuo. Both of them felt helpless.
I don’t know how to help the eldest princess, and it seems that I shouldn’t help her, but she is just a one-year-old child!
It’s the adults’ fault, why should the children be implicated?
Zhongcuiyuan was where Concubine Qiao stayed. The emperor was not there, so in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Ying did not let Yan Zhuo in.
Yan Zhuo knew the trick very well and was a little worried, "Be careful when you go in."
Jiang Ying, "Don't worry, I know."
I guess someone must have fed poison to the princess to create the illusion that she was sick.
Huang Mingquan's overt and covert hints should have been to tell her not to interfere.
As for Concubine Qiao, she didn't need to know all this. She just had to be a scapegoat for not raising the child well.
"Wuwuwuwu... Mother, I want... Mother..."
"Where did you take my mother?"
The eldest princess fell ill and was very disobedient. She could be coaxed during the day, but Concubine Qiao could do nothing about her at night.
The two personal maids took turns holding the eldest princess and rocking her, coaxing her gently. Concubine Qiao was so anxious that she was sweating.
When he saw Jiang Ying coming in, it was like he saw a savior.
"Madam Jiang, you're finally here! Please help check on the eldest princess. Did she eat something wrong or catch a cold? She's fine during the day, but at night she has a fever, cries, and talks in her sleep. We...we're at our wit's end."
Jiang Ying wanted to ask why they didn't call another imperial physician.
She doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water at all...
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't ask them in the end. He took the medicine box over and let the princess examine it carefully.
Of course, she could just do as Huang Mingquan suggested and pretend that she saw nothing and let the princess fend for herself.
But her professional ethics as a doctor did not allow her to do so.
So after a thorough investigation, he knew what the poison was and said to Concubine Qiao, "I'll prescribe some fever-reducing medicine for the princess. She'll feel better after taking it."
Not a word was said about what the eldest princess' illness was.
Because he was not sick, Jiang Ying was not used to lying to others, let alone to himself.
