Chapter 73: What can His Highness do?

But when she thought that Shen Chuwei couldn't compete with her daughter for favor, she secretly began to feel happy.

Without Shen Chuwei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think of Ah Zhu.

Shen Chuwei walked out of the restaurant after having eaten and drunk her fill.

Chunxi, with the little rabbit Xiaoguizi following closely behind.

Shen Haisheng saw his daughter coming over here and hurriedly called her, "Wei'er, don't come over here."

Shen Chuwei blinked her innocent eyes twice and stopped obediently, "Father, my daughter is going back to the palace, won't you see her off?"

Shen Haisheng was eager for Shen Chuwei to leave as soon as possible, so as not to infect them with smallpox. Send? Who dares to send?

"Father's illness has relapsed, so he can't send you off. You go back by yourself." Shen Haisheng took two breaths, looking very weak.

Shen Chu nodded slightly and looked at Madam Shen, "The two plates of cakes that mother sent last night were really delicious. Since father is sick and can't send them, mother, can you send me to the carriage?"

Shen Haisheng also worked in the officialdom for decades before he climbed to the position of Shangshu. When he heard that Mrs. Shen sent cakes, he felt something was wrong.

Mrs. Shen took a step back in fear. She didn't want to get smallpox. She said with a guilty conscience, "How can I, a woman like me, go and send him off?"

"Okay then." Shen Chuwei didn't force it, and turned to look at Shen Mingzhu, "Sister, let's go back."

Shen Mingzhu was also frightened, "Okay."

Mrs. Shen was afraid that her eldest daughter would be infected with smallpox, so she hurriedly said, "Ah Zhu, mother will arrange a new carriage for you."

"Then I'll go first." Shen Chuwei said nothing more and walked out of the Shen Mansion.

As Shen Chuwei prepared the carriage with Chunxi's support, she turned her head and looked at Little Rabbit, "Go back and tell His Highness that I might have smallpox."

"Yes." The little rabbit did not dare to delay, so he got on a horse and hurried back to the palace.

After the little rabbit left, Shen Chuwei got on the carriage, followed closely by Chunxi.

Chunxi comforted her, "My lady, don't be afraid. It must be the doctor's misdiagnosis. It's just that His Highness knows about it and is afraid..."

Shen Chu leaned back in the carriage and said in a relaxed tone: "Whether it is a misdiagnosis or not, since there is such a suspicion, it is better to let His Highness know."

"My lady is right. I'm just afraid that His Highness will think that I have smallpox and let me move into Xiaoxiang Pavilion to fend for myself." Chunxi said with a worried look on her face.

"That means His Highness cannot do this." Shen Chuwei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.

Seeing Shen Chuwei eating melon seeds again, Chunxi couldn't help but ask, "My lady, why aren't you worried at all?"

"Worrying won't solve the problem." Shen Chuwei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them into Chunxi's hand, "Why not eat some first?"

Chunxi tightly grasped the melon seeds in her hand and comforted her, "Don't be sad, my lady. His Highness dotes on me so much, he will definitely find the best doctor to treat me."

Shen Mingzhu also got on the carriage with the help of her maid and followed Shen Chuwei at a distance, fearing that she would be infected with smallpox by accident.

The little rabbit ran all the way into the East Palace and headed straight for the study.

Liu Xi saw the little rabbit running towards him in a hurry, and he hurriedly stopped it, "Little rabbit, what's wrong?"

The little rabbit looked anxious: "Where is His Highness? I have something important to discuss with His Highness."

"His Highness is busy in there." Liu Xi subconsciously thought of Shen Liang Di and had a bad feeling: "Could something have happened to Shen Liang Di?"

The little rabbit said, "Shen Liangdi may have smallpox."

Liu Xi thought he had misheard, "What did you say?"

The little rabbit repeated, "Shen Liangdi might have smallpox."

After Liu Xi confirmed it, he didn't care that His Highness was busy, he opened the door and walked in.

"Your Highness, this is bad."

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Why are you so panicked?"

Liu Xi said anxiously, "Your Highness, Concubine Shen may have smallpox."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he shouted angrily: "Nonsense, how could she suddenly get smallpox?"

Liu Xi also knew that no one would believe that Shen Liangdi had suddenly contracted smallpox. He turned around and called Little Rabbit in, "You talk to His Highness."

The little rabbit knelt on the ground with a thump. "Your Highness, the doctor diagnosed Shen Liangdi with smallpox. Shen Liangdi ordered me to come back and tell Your Highness. I estimate that she is almost at the palace gate."

Xiao Jinyan had to believe that Shen Chuwei really had smallpox and was outside the palace. If the news got out, she might not even be able to enter the palace.

"Don't let any news leak out. You take your people and drive the carriage directly back to Xiyun Pavilion. Anyone who dares to leak the news will be detained directly."

"Yes, sir." The little rabbit stood up and walked out.

Xiao Jinyan then instructed Liu Xi, "Go and get Dr. Wen Yu."

Doctor Wen Yu is the only person who can be trusted.

"Yes." Liu Xi walked out quickly.

As they got closer to the palace gate, Shen Mingzhu lifted the car curtain and looked in. She was a little nervous. If the news that Shen Chuwei had smallpox got out and reached the emperor's ears, Shen Chuwei might not even be able to enter the palace.

But if this happens, will His Highness blame her if he finds out?

On second thought, if His Highness knew that Shen Chuwei had smallpox, he probably wouldn't even look at her and would just discard her like a worn-out shoe.

After making up her mind, Shen Mingzhu said to Caihe beside her: "When we get to the palace gate later, remind the imperial guards there that Concubine Shen Liangdi has contracted smallpox."

Cai He lowered her head and replied, "I understand, young lady."

A hint of malice flashed in Shen Mingzhu's eyes, Shen Chuwei, you are finished this time.

Shen Chuwei cracked melon seeds and drank tea to quench her thirst.

Chunxi had been observing the situation outside. She saw the little rabbit coming back from a distance. She turned her head in surprise and looked at Shen Chuwei, "My lady, the little rabbit is back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei looked outside and saw Little Rabbit and a few others rushing towards them.

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes. Why did he bring so many people?

The little rabbit rode up to the carriage.

Chunxi couldn't help asking, "Little rabbit, what does His Highness say?"

The little rabbit saw Shen Chuwei and said, "My lady, His Highness said to go back to Xiyun Pavilion directly and don't worry about anything else."

Chunxi was delighted when she heard this: "My lady, His Highness wants you to return to Xiyun Pavilion."

This shows that His Highness still cares about the young lady, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of letting the young lady go back to Xiyun Pavilion directly.

Shen Chuwei was also a little surprised.

The little rabbit didn't say much, and told the people around him, "Go drive the car and make them behave themselves."

Several young eunuchs got on two carriages.

Shen Mingzhu was just thinking about what she wanted to do when two eunuchs suddenly rushed in from outside. She shouted angrily, "What are you doing here? Get out now."

The two young eunuchs saluted first, then said, "Shen Liangyuan, it was His Highness who asked the servants to escort the young lady into the palace."

"His Highness asked you to come?" Shen Mingzhu was secretly delighted. His Highness really still cared about her and even sent someone to protect her.

The eunuch nodded: "Yes, Shen Liangyuan."

Shen Mingzhu couldn't hold back her surprise and asked, "Did Your Highness have anything else to say?"

The eunuch shook his head, "Shen Liangyuan, I don't know, I just followed your orders."
