Chapter 319 Appetite
Although Chen Tang felt that he was fine and did not need to take medicine, he did not dare not take it.
Dean Zhao wrote the prescription in front of the emperor, empress and others. Fearing that she would not take the medicine, he called them over and reminded them that she must take the medicine.
As soon as Chen Qiyi bought the medicine, Xie Guimo asked Ginkgo to boil it and personally fed it to Chen Tang before he felt relieved.
Within one day, first the Princess of Qi fainted outside the Prince of Jingyang's mansion, and then the Crown Prince of Jingyang fainted outside the imperial study. Coupled with the grudge between the two, the matter became a hot topic.
Some people suspected that Chen Xi was pretending to faint, but no one suspected that Chen Tang was faking it. Pretending to faint in front of the emperor was something that one would not have the courage to do even if they asked God for help.
Chen Tang entered the palace in the afternoon, and it was almost evening when she was taken back to Prince Jingyang's Mansion by Xie Guimo. No one came to visit her, but the next day people came to visit her one after another.
The first to come was Shen Ran, who lived nearby. Shen Tang had just finished breakfast when Shen Ran arrived. Then Princess Roujia, the fourth wife and Shen Luo also came, as well as Yun Yi and Zhao Xi, Miss Wen, and Mrs. Jiang and the two Jiang sisters...
They all came to comfort Chen Tang.
Princess Roujia said, "The second master is a lucky man. My husband has gone to find him and will definitely bring him back. Take care of yourself and don't worry."
Jiang Li said, "My grandparents were very worried when they heard that you were sick. You must get better as soon as possible."
All Shen Tang could do was nod.
Could she say that she really didn't feel she was sick? Although she was very worried about her second brother, she believed that he would be fine.
But she still had to take the medicine for a few more days, so she couldn't bring herself to say that she was not sick.
Chen Tang asked the Fourth Madam, "Is Grandmother's condition okay?"
The fourth wife said, "The old lady didn't know that the second master had his legs broken, but she knew that you fainted in the palace, and that Princess Qi fainted outside the Jingyang Palace. The old lady is very worried about you, and a little angry with Princess Qi. After you left yesterday, the old lady didn't vomit after taking the medicine, and her condition has improved."
When the old lady saw her beloved son, her mood improved and her illness also improved.
As for the second wife having her hair cut off, the old lady is not worried.
Chen Tang leaned on the big pillow, feeling uncomfortable all over. She wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but everyone told her to lie down and rest. When they came to see her, Chen Tang wanted them to talk to her more, but they were afraid of disturbing her rest, so they only stayed for a short while and left.
After a busy morning, it became quiet at lunch time. Chen Tang got out of bed, and Xie Guimo just came back from the study. He saw him and said, "Why did you get out of bed? Go lie down on the bed."
Chen Tang, "..."
If she lay down any longer, she would feel like a waste.
Chen Tang said, "I'll just walk around the house."
Xie Guimo asked Ginkgo, "Has the Crown Prince's Concubine taken the medicine?"
Ginkgo nodded repeatedly, "I've eaten."
He didn't ask her, but asked the maid, which clearly showed that he didn't trust her.
Chen Tang glared at Xie Guimo, and the maid brought in the food. Chen Tang washed his hands and sat down to have lunch with Xie Guimo.
Not to mention that Chen Tang felt that he was not sick, Xie Guimo also thought that Chen Tang did not look unwell no matter how he looked at him. Who would have a better appetite than usual when they were sick? Chen Tang usually only ate one bowl of rice, but today he finished a bowl of rice for the first time and even had half a bowl. Xie Guimo was stunned and suspected that the medicine that Zhao Yuanzheng prescribed for Chen Tang was to stimulate his appetite.
Xie Guimo picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Chen Tang, "You should eat more."
After eating, I paced back and forth in the room to digest the food. When I felt sleepy, I went to bed and took a nap for half an hour.
After waking up, and having nothing to do, Shen Tang read a book to pass the time.
For three days in a row, Chen Tang did not step out of the room. On the fourth day, she could no longer hold it in. After breakfast, she strolled around the yard twice. She even wanted to take a walk in the garden, but the two maids would not let her go, so she had to give up.
There was no other way, Chen Tang had to go back to the room and copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for her second brother. She couldn't leave Beijing to find her second brother, so she could only copy Buddhist scriptures to make herself feel at ease. Even the two maids felt that it was too stressful and wouldn't let her do it.
Chen Tang asked, "Are you trying to suffocate me to death?"
She was not allowed to do this or that. She didn't die of illness, but died of boredom.
Gingko and Qiutong said, "Then the Crown Prince's Consort will promise not to tire herself out."
Chen Tang was tired.
As if she were a fool.
Her body is her own, how could she not cherish it?
Seven days passed like this, and I finished the medicine, and there was no difference from before I took it.
After breakfast, Chen Tang drank the medicine, and Ginkgo said, "Princess, this is the last dose of medicine."
Xie Guimo asked Chen Tang, "After taking the medicine for so many days, are you feeling better?"
Chen Tang looked at him, "It's the same as before I ate it."
Xie Guimo, "..."
If it weren’t for the prescription written by Dr. Zhao, I would really suspect that I had met a quack doctor.
Qiu Tong, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "It's very effective. The Crown Princess has a better appetite and sleeps better."
After taking the medicine for seven days, the Crown Princess gained weight visibly.
Chen Tang had a frail figure, like a willow swaying in the wind, and if he gained two or three pounds of weight, it would be very obvious.
But Chen Tang didn't think this was a good thing, so after breakfast, she took Ginkgo to the Peony Courtyard to pay her respects to the princess.
Seeing Chen Tang coming, the princess was a little surprised, "The imperial physician told you to rest, why are you here, mother?"
Chen Tang said, "I have already taken the medicine prescribed by Zhao Yuanzheng, and I am not feeling unwell anywhere. I haven't come to pay my respects to my mother for so many days, so I should come."
In the past few days, the princess either went to Chenxiangxuan to see her in person or asked Nanny Yun to go. The princess knew about Chen Tang's situation.
The princess said, "You look much better. I'm relieved that you're fine."
Chen Tang sat down, and a maid came in and said, "Princess, the carriage is ready."
Chen Tang looked at the princess, "Mother is leaving the house?"
The princess said, "Let's go to the Jokhang Temple and pray for you and the old lady."
After hearing this, Chen Tang immediately said, "I will go with my mother."
The princess hesitated.
She knew that Chen Tang had been copying Buddhist scriptures these days and must want to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for his second brother whose life or death was unknown, but the princess was worried about Chen Tang's health.
Chen Tang sat down next to the princess and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm really fine. I've been stuck in the mansion for so many days, and I just want to go out for a walk."
The princess only had Xie Guimo as her son, and she had never experienced what it was like to be held in someone's arms and act like a spoiled child. She laughed and said, "Okay, your mother will take you there."
"Thank you, mother."
Chen Tang and the princess went to the Jokhang Temple, and Xie Guimo wanted to accompany them. But when they were leaving the house, someone happened to come from the palace, and the emperor wanted to see Xie Guimo, so Chen Tang said, "Then you go to the palace to see the emperor."
Xie Guimo said, "After meeting the emperor, I will go to the Jokhang Temple to pick you up."
Shen Tang nodded.
Chen Tang and the princess rode out of the city in a carriage together.
Shen Tang lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, and when he was leaving the city, he happened to see Young Master Huo riding past on a horse, the horse's hooves galloping very fast.
Shen Tang took one more look, and Chen Shan went to chase after Master Huo, and came back and said, "Princess, Master Huo is returning to the capital today, and Master Huo is going to Shili Pavilion to pick her up."
The princess was delighted. "I thought it would take at least three to five days for him to come back..."
How could Mrs. Huo not be extremely anxious if she saw the letter?
I'm afraid we had a lot of bumpy rides on the way back to Beijing.
Judging from the date, Mrs. Huo should be pregnant. I hope the baby won’t be hurt by the bumpy ride.
