Chapter 806 Such a stupid thing
Doctor Li wanted to angrily ask his daughter: Are you crazy?
Which daughter-in-law would steal her father-in-law's gold?
Even if Prince Xiao really hid a large box of gold ingots under his bed, could she have searched for it?
He widened his eyes, wishing he could give his daughter a big bag of dirt to wake her up. But when he saw her rotten face, her swollen and abnormal complexion, Doctor Li took a few steps back.
He almost didn't need to diagnose. Looking at Li Zhiyao's condition, it was hard for her to escape. She must have contracted that serious disease.
But why? Was it just to turn over Prince Xiao's bed?
If I tell others this reason, will anyone believe it?
Some people might believe it, but there will definitely be people who will think too much. A daughter-in-law turned over her father-in-law's bed! If this gets out, her reputation will be so bad!
Although Doctor Li himself is unreliable, he couldn't think of such a stupid thing!
"How much do you need money? Have you gone without food and drink in the palace?" Are you so poor that you have to turn over your father-in-law's bed?
Xiao Yanjing also found it unbelievable when he heard what Li Zhiyao said.
When he heard Doctor Li ask this again, he shouted with a dark face, "The palace has never lacked food and drink for her!"
How could she be short of food and drink? Prince Xiao's mansion was not so destitute!
"Dad, they all ignore me. I've become ugly. I want to buy clothes. I want to buy jewelry. I want to--"
Li Zhiyao said this and tried to struggle to get up, but her whole body was burning hot and she had no strength at all, and her throat was so dry that it felt like it was smoking.
Why do you keep asking her these things?
Shouldn't I come over quickly to see her?
Li Zhiyao reached out to Doctor Li, "Dad, I feel very uncomfortable——"
She looked like she was calling for Divine Doctor Li to come over and feel her pulse. Xiao Yanjing also looked at Divine Doctor Li.
But Doctor Li didn't dare to go over.
"Water——" Li Zhiyao shouted again.
"Why don't you pour water for your Crown Princess?" Doctor Li immediately glared at the maid. The maid's face turned pale. They had heard more about the fear of those people outside the palace about Prince Xiao, and now they were even more panicked.
"Slave, slave——"
"What the hell! Go get some water! Can't you see how thirsty she is?"
Doctor Li glared at Xiao Yanjing, "Is this how you take care of my daughter? You let her get sick alone in the room, and you don't even give her water to drink!"
This finally made him find the reason to get angry, right?
Xiao Yanjing took a deep breath and said to the maid, "Give the Crown Prince's Consort some water."
His tone also became heavier.
The maid was trembling with fear. She didn't dare to go over. Besides, Li Zhiyao couldn't even drink water by herself. She would definitely have to be helped up and fed. That would mean too much contact.
"Why don't you go over there?!" Xiao Yanjing's voice became even deeper and he shouted angrily.
The maid was about to cry, but as a maid there was no way she could refuse, so she could only pour a glass of water and brought it to the bedside tremblingly.
"Princess, drink some water—"
Li Zhiyao couldn't even raise her hands high, so she just opened her eyelids and looked at her.
This slave! Does she look like she has the strength to drink water by herself? Why don't you even help her up and feed her!
"You have to feed her!" Doctor Li shouted.
The maid was about to cry, no, she really cried. While shedding tears, she helped Li Zhiyao up and put the cup to her mouth to feed her water.
At such a close distance, the maid could indeed smell the smell on Li Zhiyao's face, and it was really stinky.
Xiao Yanjing looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but take a step back.
He looked at the other maids and servants in the yard and asked in a low voice, "How long has she been ill?"
No one told him!
The maids and servants did not dare to raise their heads.
"Reply, reply to the prince, we don't know. The prince's wife has been sleeping alone in the room these days. She hasn't gotten up to dress up. When it's time to eat, she just asks us to bring the food in, and we clean up after she finishes eating."
"Yes, when we went to clean up, the Crown Princess had already finished eating and went back to bed. We didn't even take a close look at her."
And they haven't seen Li Zhiyao since last night.
To put it bluntly, it was because Prince Xiao and Xiao Yanjing didn't care about Li Zhiyao at all, and they had been quarreling before, so the couple turned against each other.
Who else in the palace took Li Zhiyao seriously? Usually, the maids would pretend to obey whatever she said.
When Dr. Li was still around, Li Zhiyao could often make complaints and ask Dr. Li to support her.
But at the end of last year, Doctor Li left Zhaoguo to join the Great Medical Association. Li Zhiyao was fed that kind of chronic poison, and she didn't have the energy to beat and scold the maids every day. Naturally, these maids didn't take her seriously anymore.
"Yesterday, the Crown Prince's Consort didn't seem to have a rotten face yesterday—" The maid said this, but she was not sure at all.
Who knows if his face is rotten or not?
Xiao Yanjing bit his back teeth. No matter what, Li Zhiyao was in this state now, so he couldn't let her stay in the palace, right?
"Father-in-law, Zhiyao is sick now, why don't you take her back and treat her? After all, you are a miracle doctor and Zhiyao's biological father. No other doctor can be more careful and treat her better than you." Xiao Lanyuan said to Doctor Li.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Zhiyao is from Prince Xiao's mansion. You want me to take her back? If people hear this, they will think she was divorced!" Doctor Li was furious.
Xiao Yanjing had such a beautiful thought!
"How could that be? It's mainly because it's not safe for her to stay here. Father-in-law, think about it. Now everyone is staring at the palace. They are all talking about my father being sick. If Zhiyao stays here, won't others misunderstand that she has the same disease?"
In fact, Xiao Yanjing now suspects that Li Zhiyao has also contracted that disease!
However, he couldn't just say it directly, otherwise how could Doctor Li take the person away?
"As long as you don't tell me and I don't tell her, who would know that she is sick?" said Doctor Li.
"But this kind of thing can't be kept secret. First of all, Zhiyao needs medicinal herbs to treat her illness, right? You just returned to the capital, and you don't have any medicinal herbs with you. If I ask someone from the palace to go out and buy them, once they see that you are from Prince Xiao's palace, not only will they not dare to sell the herbs, they may even refuse to let anyone into the medicine shop."
Xiao Yanjing didn't even look at Li Zhiyao in the room. She was so ugly that he wanted to vomit at the sight of her.
"Moreover, as long as there are herbs that can treat ulcers, wouldn't others be able to guess what it is at a glance?" Xiao Yanjing said.
"I'll go home and get the herbs myself!" Doctor Li said angrily.
"That's too much trouble. Don't you have to go back and forth? Besides, how many medicinal herbs does my father-in-law have at home? When they are used up, you still have to go to the pharmacy to buy more, right?"
Doctor Li stared at him, "Why is this bothering you?"
