Chapter 106 Two People Are Angry
He remembered that Haitang had reported back that the court doctor said that Li's body was too soft to conceive and that she was already in bad shape.
When the prince asked this question, the old nanny broke out in a cold sweat.
Ye Yunchu slammed the table.
The old nanny immediately dared not lie anymore and knelt on the ground: "Originally, there is no such thing, but the Marquis's wife ordered it, and I, this old servant, was just following orders."
Ye Yunchu sneered: "How come no one told me about what happened in my courtyard?"
"I thought the Marquis's wife had told the prince."
"Don't you need to tell me again? If someone asks you to boil medicine for me tomorrow, you will do it without asking me. If it's poison, will you boil it for me?"
"Old slave, I dare not do that. Master, please do not wrongly accuse me. I have taken care of you since you were a child. How could I do such a thing?"
The old maid wiped her tears with a handkerchief, feeling extremely aggrieved. She continued, "The Marquis's wife is doing this for the Crown Prince. If the concubine gave birth to a bastard before the legal wife even entered the family, how could that be a good thing? The Crown Prince should understand the Marquis's painstaking efforts!"
"Since you are so loyal to my mother, it would be a pity to keep you in my courtyard. I will send you to my mother's courtyard right now, so that you can fulfill your loyalty."
"My Lord, this old servant...doesn't feel he has done anything wrong!"
After all, the old nanny had been with the prince for a long time and felt that she was not wrong. She was hurt by Ye Yunchu's cruel treatment.
I have to go to the Marquis's wife and cry.
Ye Yunchu's face was cold, and he couldn't tell whether it was because the well-behaved and honest little concubine dared to tease him, or because the marquis's wife took the initiative.
He leaned on the table and got furious for no reason. In the end, he just pressed his forehead and called Haitang: "Go call the court doctor."
Li Runrun lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She heard the chaotic footsteps outside and the crying of the old nanny, who was shouting about her loyalty, serving her since childhood, and the cruel heart of the prince.
Li Runrun didn't get up to take a look. Although Ye Yunchu was cold to the servants, he didn't have the habit of beating or scolding them. She thought that it was the old nanny who did something wrong.
Li Ruanruan was lying on the bed, thinking that now that she was in charge of the accounts of the East Courtyard, the servants would naturally have to take care of some of them as well.
This nanny has done something wrong. Should she go to Ye Yunchu to ask for punishment?
If it were in the past, I would have gone, but now I know who I am.
Not feeling that she had enough nerve to be in front of him, Li turned over and faced the wall.
There was nothing good for her to do. He was probably angry too, so why should she go?
Instead, Li Bai ran in and wanted to talk to Li Runrun, but saw that Li Runrun seemed to be fast asleep.
Thinking that she was not feeling well, there was no need to rush. It would be the same if we talked about it tomorrow.
Li Bai walked over, extinguished the candle, took out a pillow and quilt from the cupboard, spread them on the couch in the dark, and then fell asleep.
The court doctor came over quickly.
I knelt down and saluted, and saw that the prince had been silent for a long time, sitting upright and reading a book.
He didn't dare to stand up, thinking that he had offended this gentleman again, otherwise he wouldn't be punished to kneel and given such a cold look.
The court physician was a smart man. Most doctors think quickly, otherwise they wouldn't be able to remember so many prescriptions and herbs.
He was thinking about the contraceptive prescription that Lady Dingshi had asked him to prescribe for her concubine.
But if you think about it from the perspective of the palace doctor, aren't these the things that happen in the inner house?
The daughter of Lord Xu is of noble status, and marrying into the Marquis's mansion is a perfect match.
The rules of the harem are like this, and there are even more rules in wealthy families.
How could a concubine's maid give birth to a son before the wife enters the house? If it gets out, it will bring shame to the marquis's mansion.
Given the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children, what does a illegitimate son count for?
It's better to avoid pregnancy than to get pregnant and then have the baby aborted.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on the court doctor's forehead and flowed down into his eyes, stinging him so much that it hurt, but he could only blink and didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it away.
Because he often treated the servants in the mansion, the servants respected him more and were willing to tell him any news.
On the way here, I heard that the prince was angry and sentenced an old nanny who had been with him since childhood.
Would he be so angry that he would execute him as well?
If he was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the capital. His son was preparing for the imperial examination, and he was afraid that if he offended the Crown Prince, it would affect his son's career.
Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is a favorite of the Prince. The old emperor is obviously not doing well, and now many government affairs are in charge of the Crown Prince.
The more the court doctor thought about it, the more cold sweat he broke out in.
Finally, he slammed his forehead against the ground and said, "My Lord, the Marquis's wife asked me to prescribe a prescription that will not harm the concubine's body. I used the medicine based on the concubine's physical condition, and the effect is mild."
The court doctor kowtowed, not daring to raise his head, and said, "The other concubine's health is under your command, and I am naturally concerned about it."
"Then why is she so listless? All medicines are poisonous, so how can she not be harmed?"
"Low energy?"
The court physician thought about his medicine and felt that it wouldn't make her feel tired after taking it. He said hurriedly, "That shouldn't be the case. The medicine I prescribed, besides preventing women from getting pregnant, is actually nourishing. Long-term use can strengthen the body and make women as strong as men."
"There's such a good medicine?"
"There's only one downside, which is that it can't be taken for long periods of time. It can cause permanent infertility."
Fearing that the prince would blame him, the court doctor said again, "But, but it will be fine for half a year. You can change the prescription after half a year."
Ye Yunchu slammed the table.
The court doctor was trembling all over and dared not say a word.
Ye Yunchu sneered, "I want a concubine, not a brother. Since she is already having trouble getting pregnant, you shouldn't give her that prescription. If she gets sick from it, how many lives will you have to pay for it?"
The court doctor rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, "I understand. If the Marquis's wife asks me tomorrow, I will tell her to continue eating. Is that okay?"
After a long time, Ye Yunchu said in a cold voice: "Change the prescription to one for her health. I will make sure she doesn't get pregnant."
The court doctor knew that the matter was over, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He dared to raise his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "I think the prince knows his limits. I was not considerate enough before."
With the prince's words, there is nothing to worry about.
Ye Yunchu waved his hand and asked Haitang to take the reward money and give it to the palace doctor, in order to help keep it a secret from the Marquis' wife.
I helped Li Runrun deal with such a big trouble, but she didn't even have a good face for me.
She even cheated him, because he brought her such delicious pastries.
Ye Yunchu put down the book, stood at the door and glanced towards the ear room, but the lights were already off.
Just fell asleep like that.
I think it's because he spoiled her too much and made her become spoiled.
Ye Yunchuyi flicked his sleeves and went back to sleep.
He didn't go out the next day, nor did he call Li Runrun, to let her know that he was leaving her out in the cold.
Tell her to reflect on her mistakes.
At lunchtime, he asked Haitang, "What is the maid doing?"
Haitang was startled for a moment before she said, "I went to the Second Miss's Mingyue Residence early this morning, when you were still asleep."
Ye Yunchu's face darkened, thinking that she knew she was wrong because she didn't dare to come out all morning.
