Chapter 577: Seriously Ill



The Seventh Prince lowered his head in shame and said nothing. He coughed several times in succession. Gu Yunru had the old woman sent directly to the Imperial Clan House for investigation, and then reported the matter to Concubine Cao. He wanted to see how Concubine Cao would handle the matter. The eunuchs had already cleaned up the Seventh Prince's residence and swept the dust. They stood in a row with their heads down, waiting for Gu Yunru's instructions in the yard.

Gu Yunru glanced over and said to these people: "From now on, you will serve the Seventh Prince here. When the Seventh Prince gives birth, you will give birth. If anything goes wrong with the Seventh Prince...

Then I can only ask for you!" The eunuchs lowered their heads. When the Seventh Prince heard the woman's words, he felt that her identity should not be as simple as a female medical officer. She was so imposing and seemed to be a person of noble status.

She did not have the nobility and pride of the women in the palace. She looked at Yin Zu and asked, "Fourth brother, who is she?"

"She is the Princess of Zhao and knows some medical skills, so I brought Aunt Wang to see you."

"So that's how it is." Yin Cheng nodded and coughed a few more times. Gu Yunru sent someone to bring the silver needle bag over and asked two maids to get hot water to clear the toxins in his lungs. He also needed a medicinal bath, so someone prepared a large wooden barrel in the yard and asked the Seventh Prince to take off his clothes and soak in it for two hours.

The Yanxi Palace received the news. Cao Yinyue lay on the phoenix couch with a lazy look on her face. She listened to Linglong beside her talking about the Seventh Prince. She yawned and said disdainfully: "This Gu Yunru actually likes to worry about the Seventh Prince's affairs so much. Let her worry about it."

Linglong lowered her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, "I also got some information. The old maid sent by the queen seemed to have added something that was incompatible with the medicine, which is why the seventh prince's health was affected.

This means that this matter was instigated by the Empress. The Empress has always disliked the Seventh Prince. If the civil and military officials knew about this, wouldn't the Second Prince have no chance of ascending the throne?"

When Cao Yinyue heard this, she felt that she had to intervene in this matter. She asked someone to re-do her makeup and swaggered to the Seventh Prince's residence with her people.

At this time, the Seventh Prince had finished his medicinal bath and changed into clean clothes. After the treatment, the Seventh Prince's face became fresh. Gu Yunru nodded with satisfaction and sighed with regret.

"As expected, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The Seventh Prince has an extraordinary demeanor. After changing into white clothes, he is immediately unforgettable."

“Aunt Wang, please don’t say that. Thanks to Aunt Wang, I didn’t expect you to still remember Yin Cheng.”

Yin Cheng looked at her flattered. Almost everyone in the harem had forgotten about him.

However, he did not expect that the noble Princess Zhao still remembered that there was a humble prince like him in the harem.

"Don't say that, Yin Cheng. You can't live in this courtyard in the future. I will discuss with Concubine Cao and let you live in the real prince's palace." Gu Yunru looked at the structure of the house. It was even more remote than the cold palace. Eunuchs and palace maids were unwilling to come to this place.

Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Guifei from the Yanxi Palace, being carried over in a warm sedan chair.

As soon as Cao Yinyue stopped, she smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from the yard and couldn't help pinching her nose.

"Ahem...what's that smell?" Cao Yinyue muttered to herself as she walked in with lazy and dignified steps, but she didn't expect there were steps under her feet and she almost fell down.

"What a coincidence that the Imperial Concubine is here!" Gu Yunru looked at her with a fake smile. She had asked her subordinates to report two hours ago, but she didn't expect that she would take so long to come. With her hair full of phoenix hairpins and noble clothes, she was so eye-catching...

"Princess, Prince Yin, I just woke up and rushed here as soon as I heard the news. I didn't expect that old woman to be so bold. I have to take care of Yin Cheng!" Imperial Concubine Cao laughed and frowned as she looked at Yin Cheng, who was so thin that only skin and bones were left. "These people are so bold. Our Yin Cheng is the noble seventh prince after all, but he only gets such treatment. Damn it!"

“………”Gu Yunru knew that Cao Yinyue’s acting skills were top-notch in the harem, and her facial expressions were very natural. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a top-notch actress.

"The most urgent task for Concubine Cao is to find a good place for the Seventh Prince to live. There are so many houses and halls in this palace, why let the Seventh Prince live in such a place without sunlight? The two big locust trees on the left and right just block the sunlight. This house is damp and dark, and it is not suitable for living at all."

Gu Yunru proposed this request to Cao Yinyue, who sighed in embarrassment, "The Queen has been feeling depressed these days and has not seen anyone. I'm afraid she doesn't care about the Seventh Prince's affairs. I naturally feel sorry for Yin Cheng, but it's a pity that the Queen probably won't agree..."

"Isn't the Imperial Concubine in charge of the affairs of the harem now? There's no need to tell the Queen about such a small matter. Besides, the old nanny has already confessed why the Seventh Prince's health gets worse the more medicine he takes. Imperial Concubine Cao should know it well." Gu Yunru had already made it clear. She didn't have the time and patience to play opposite Cao Yinyue. Cao Yinyue's eyes flickered in a trance, looking at the sickly Yin Cheng. Looking at his frail body, he probably didn't have many years left...

If he could weaken the queen's power through this incident, he could then support his son to ascend the throne.

"Okay, Yin Cheng, I'll take care of this matter. I'll tell the Queen Mother about it right away and let her make the decision."

Gu Yunru looked at Cao Yinyue. It turned out that he wanted to use the empress dowager's hand to get rid of the queen. This trick was really vicious. After pretending, Cao Yinyue had someone arrange for him to go to another place, which was not far from Xianfu Palace and he stayed near Xianfu Palace.

When I thought of Xianfu Palace, I thought of what happened that night. The Second Prince might be in danger, and Yin Li had been with Ling'er from Yancui Tower these days and seldom came to the palace.

"Yin Cheng, you stay here first. I will come to see you every afternoon. You must take your medicine on time. Do you understand?"

Yin Cheng nodded obediently. Although the young man was physically weak, there was a stubborn gleam in his eyes, which showed how unwilling he was to admit defeat.
