Chapter 805 Are You Crazy?
Li Zhiyao lay on the bed, too weak to even move her hands.
She felt her lips were starting to crack, but no one came in to look at her.
She didn't know how long she had been lying in bed. She wanted to call for someone to come in, but she could only make a very weak sound.
"water--"
"Someone come——"
She herself was aware that her voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito, and the maids were all outside and could not hear it at all.
They have become more and more lazy these days. Although it was she who always scolded them and didn't let them come in to disturb her at the beginning, it was she who wanted to sleep all day.
But she had not been sleeping properly in the past few days, and they didn't even notice.
They brought in dinner yesterday, and brought it to her bedside as usual. She was just sitting lazily on the bed and eating casually. After finishing, she would throw her dishes on the table. The maids would come in to collect them when they were free.
But they haven't come in to collect the dishes from yesterday yet, and no one has come in to pour her some water.
No one brought in breakfast or lunch today.
Is it because she didn't call for food?
But she was speechless.
Li Zhiyao felt her head was dizzy. She wanted to curse and call those maids in to slap them each for neglecting her as their master. But now, when she opened her mouth, the sound that came out was like that of a mosquito.
No one can hear it.
Just then, she heard her father's angry shout from outside.
"You slave dogs are so bold! There is not even one person waiting on my daughter! You are still here eating melon seeds and drinking tea, saying bad things about your master!"
Doctor Li became extremely angry when he saw these maids and servants.
They were all gathered here chatting and cracking melon seeds. When he arrived just now, he heard a maid say that the Crown Prince's wife had not served the meal yet, and he didn't know if she had fainted from hunger.
This made him extremely angry.
"Li, Doctor Li, the Crown Princess didn't serve the meal, so we didn't dare to go in and disturb her."
The maids all turned pale.
Li Zhiyao has a very bad temper. She has been drowsy for some time. Anyone who tries to wake her up will be slapped in the face at best, or hit with something at worst.
A few days ago, an old woman had her forehead scratched by a bowl, which was caused by Li Zhiyao.
So as long as Li Zhiyao didn't call them, they wouldn't go in.
But now that they were scolded by Doctor Li, they suddenly remembered that Li Zhiyao had not called them since last night.
Could it be that he has been sleeping since last night?
There was no movement anyway.
"If anything happens to my Yao'er, I won't let you off!" Doctor Li felt heavy-hearted, thinking something was wrong, and immediately asked them to knock on the door. "Knock on the door and say I'm here!"
If he hadn't knocked on the door first, it would have been inappropriate for him, as a father, to just push the door open and walk into his daughter's room.
"Princess, Doctor Li is here to see you!" The maid hurried over and knocked on the door.
But there was no sound at all.
They looked at Divine Doctor Li, then knocked on the door again and shouted, "Prince's Consort, are you awake? I'm letting you in."
Doctor Li heard no movement from inside and became anxious, "Just push the door open!"
"yes."
The maid then opened the door and walked in.
Li Zhiyao was clearly still in bed, and the maid walked to the bedside and pulled up the gauze curtain, "Princess, please wake up, Divine Doctor Li is here - ah!"
She suddenly screamed.
Doctor Li's face changed drastically, and he didn't care about avoiding suspicion at all, and rushed in quickly.
Li Zhiyao's face was a little swollen, and she no longer had the beauty she once had. But the scary thing was not the swelling, but the fact that there were several ulcers on her face!
She must have accidentally scratched those sores, causing pus to flow out.
There was a sickly and foul smell in the room.
The maid suddenly thought of something, her face changed drastically, and she subconsciously took several steps back.
Of course, they had heard about what had happened in the palace in recent days. After all, they did not dare to leave the palace. As soon as they left the palace, those people would stare at them and stay away from them.
They all knew that the prince had been infected with the disease and was isolated on the farm.
But now, who can tell them why the Crown Prince’s Concubine also has ulcers on her face?
Could it be that——
Another maid also followed in, and when she looked over, she also saw the sores on Li Zhiyao's face, and she immediately covered her mouth.
The two maids retreated in panic.
At this time, Xiao Yanjing also arrived.
Although Doctor Li had not detected the poison before, he was still a little worried and wanted to come over to take a look. He himself had not set foot in Li Zhiyao's place for two or three months.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he arrived, he saw the maids trembling and pale.
"Prince, the Crown Princess, she, she, she, she——"
"What's wrong with her?" Xiao Yanjing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the chronic poison that Li Zhiyao was suffering from was discovered by Doctor Li?
"The Crown Princess' face is rotten!" the maid cried out.
Xiao Yanjing's expression changed drastically.
Doctor Li was also filled with horror. He didn't even dare to reach out to touch Li Zhiyao. He took two steps back.
Li Zhiyao finally woke up a little after such a commotion. She opened her eyes and saw her father. Her eyes lit up and she struggled to get up. However, her whole body felt hot, she felt dizzy, and she had no strength. She fell down again just after she stood up a little.
"Dad, you're here? I want to drink some water—"
Li Zhiyao's voice was hoarse.
"You, you met your father-in-law?" Doctor Li blurted out and asked.
It should be impossible. Prince Xiao has not paid any attention to Li Zhiyao for a long time.
Li Zhiyao felt dizzy and said subconsciously, "Isn't he not in the mansion? I, I just went to his bedroom a few days ago to look for him -"
Although her voice was soft, Xiao Yanjing heard it at the door.
His expression changed again.
This time, even Doctor Li took several steps back.
"For no reason, why would you, as a daughter-in-law, rummage through your father-in-law's bedroom?!" Doctor Li found it unbelievable.
But this is also a bad thing that Li Zhiyao could do.
"They won't give me any money. I want to buy some jewelry. I heard he has a box of gold ingots hidden under his bed."
Li Zhiyao said weakly.
