Hongli summoned a royal physician to treat her. After she regained consciousness, Hongli tried to persuade her to think more positively, but Yuying still couldn't accept the accident.
"As everyone knows, Physician Zhang is quite experienced in smallpox vaccination, and his family has been inoculating infants for generations. However, you assigned Physician Zhang to Yan Yan and had other physicians vaccinate Bao'er. If it had been Physician Zhang instead, perhaps Bao'er's life could have been saved."
"What are you saying?" Hongli admitted that he did have selfish motives, giving the best imperial physician to Yan Yan, but the other imperial physicians were not bad either.
"They are all very experienced and their medical skills are comparable. The imperial physician said that the child's physical condition is of utmost importance. When Bao'er was sick before, the imperial physician said that she was weak and whether she could pull through depended on luck. Even if it were Imperial Physician Zhang, he might not be able to save her life."
"At least there's a glimmer of hope!" Yu Ying felt increasingly aggrieved, convinced that her daughter's accident was caused by Hongli's favoritism.
"Before my daughter entered the palace, I begged you to arrange for Physician Zhang to be assigned to Bao'er, but you did not agree. Now that something has happened, how can I accept this?"
He had already explained clearly that this matter had nothing to do with the imperial physician, but she stubbornly insisted on shifting the blame to him. Hongli felt quite weary and didn't bother to persuade her any further.
"So you're blaming me? I deliberately harmed Bao'er, I didn't want her to live?"
“I didn’t say it was Fourth Master who caused it. I was just thinking that Bao’er and Yan Yan were vaccinated against smallpox together, but Yan Yan was fine while Bao’er was in trouble. Doesn’t this just prove what the sorcerer said? That Yan Yan is the one who brings bad luck to Bao’er. If only we could have sent Yan Yan away back then…”
Hongli had intended to calm his temper with a sip of tea, but she instead spoke sarcastically and resentfully about Yan Yan, which enraged Hongli. He angrily smashed the teacup and shouted angrily.
"Granny Cui bribed the sorcerer to lie and murder Yan Yan, and you still dare to mention the sorcerer in front of the master? As a princess consort, you should be reasonable and understanding, how can you be so muddle-headed!"
Considering her grief over losing her daughter, Hongli tried his best to restrain himself and not want to lose his temper or say harsh words to her. However, she took advantage of the situation and said one extreme thing after another, which was almost insane. Hongli could not bear it any longer and did not want to deal with her anymore. He sneered, stood up and left Lanzhao Courtyard immediately.
Yu Ying was heartbroken and nearly collapsed when her two-year-old daughter suddenly died. Hongli showed no patience for her. She was his own flesh and blood! Why did he only favor Yan Yan and remain indifferent to his daughter's death? He was far too cold-blooded as a father!
Yu Ying was unwilling to accept it and always felt that there was something fishy about her daughter's death, so she secretly asked a Taoist priest to send her child's and Yan Yan's birth dates and times to him.
The Taoist priest said that Yan Yan's fate was special. He did not belong to this world. He came to the world by chance and survived by absorbing the luck of others.
It should have been Yan Yan who got into trouble this time, but he was too strong-willed, and the little princess was too weak, so he stole her luck.
If this continues, he might even steal away the fortune of the princess's son!
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying panicked! Yan Yan had already harmed Bao'er; she couldn't let this little devil harm her son as well!
To prevent her son from getting into trouble, Yu Ying immediately sent someone to the palace to report the matter to Consort Xi and ask her to take charge.
