After returning to Fengyi Palace, Ye Jinyun went directly to the side hall where the children were.
Lin Qingtang was reading a book in the hall. Ever since Ye Jinyun started tending to the empress dowager, she had to accompany these babies every day. In the past, it was okay when little Mo Junlin was around, as he could laugh and walk, so it wasn't boring for her to accompany him.
But today he went to the emperor, and Yuanjia was not sent over by Concubine Qi. She had nothing else to do with two babies who only knew how to feed and sleep, so she could only read.
"Qingtang, are Yan'er and Xi'er still asleep?"
Ye Jinyun asked aloud why she came back at such an unfortunate time and the child was asleep again.
Seeing her coming, Lin Qingtang put down the book in his hand, glanced at Mo Junlin who was already asleep in Qing'er's arms, and sighed:
"They are two little ones who only know how to drink milk. Apart from eating, they know how to sleep. Yan'er is better. He woke up for a while in the morning. But Xi'er is just like you, the sleepy queen mother. She wakes up and makes a few noises before falling back asleep."
Ye Jinyun shook his head helplessly, "I'll go inside to check on them."
After saying this, she walked into the inner room alone. When she lifted the beaded curtain, she saw the wet nurse who had fed her daughter was adjusting her clothes. She couldn't help feeling a little strange.
Xier was asleep and hadn't eaten, so why was she tidying up her clothes?
Without calling her, Ye Jinyun moved closer to the crib and asked, "Did the princess have her milk just now?"
The sudden sound startled the wet nurse. She covered her eyes in panic, and when she saw that it was Ye Jinyun, she quickly squatted down and saluted her.
Ye Jinyun was just about to wave his hand to excuse her, but the moment the wet nurse squatted down, a strange smell emanated from her.
Ye Jinyun frowned when he smelled the smell. The smell was strange. It must be the mixture of the wet nurse's milk and the smell of medicine. Could it be that the wet nurse was injured?
Before she could think about it, the nurse replied:
"Your Majesty, the princess didn't drink milk just now. She is asleep. I have already fed her once this morning. I will feed her again when she wakes up."
Ye Jinyun didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and held his daughter in his arms.
The moment he picked her up, Ye Jinyun frowned. Why didn't his daughter show any interest in the past few days? Could it be that she was not used to drinking because he didn't feed her himself?
She leaned close to her daughter's little face with heartache and wanted to kiss her, but when she got close, she smelled a hint of the wet nurse's scent on her. It was just slightly different, but the medicinal smell was the same.
She was puzzled and moved closer to smell it carefully, only to find that the smell was coming from the corner of her daughter's mouth.
He immediately felt something was wrong. If it had rubbed against the wet nurse's wound, it should have been on the surface of the skin. How could it be in her mouth?
She suddenly remembered the scene where she saw the wet nurse adjusting her clothes.
Could it be that the nurse had an injury to her private parts? Then why didn't she tell me? She even had the medicine applied and dared to breastfeed her daughter. Is that something that can be ingested?
For the first time, she was filled with anger and immediately scolded:
"How could you be so careless! You put medicine on your chest and yet you still dared to feed it to the princess? The princess swallowed the medicine! Qing'er, quickly ask Xiao Quanzi to go to Shoukang Palace and invite Dr. Cui over!"
Lin Qingtang and Qing'er heard Ye Jinyun getting angry from outside, and hurried in.
When Qing'er saw Ye Jinyun's expression, she was stunned for a second, then she reacted and hurried to find Xiao Quanzi.
Lin Qingtang looked at Ye Jinyun, who never lost his temper, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Ye Jinyun was furious. He held his daughter and checked his son again. After smelling his body and finding no other scent except milk, he pointed at the wet nurse who was lying on the ground feeding the princess and said:
"She had a chest injury and applied ointment, but she still dared to feed Xier the medicine. Xier swallowed the medicine!"
Lin Qingtang looked puzzled when she heard this, "Really? But I saw her breastfeeding Xier this morning and I took a quick look at her. She didn't seem to have any injuries on her body."
Hearing this, Ye Jinyun was suddenly startled and looked at Lin Qingtang fiercely.
Lin Qingtang was still wondering how the wet nurse could suddenly have a chest injury when she hadn't seen any bumps or stumbles during the whole period. Then she saw Ye Jinyun staring at her with wide eyes.
Then he reacted and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly rushed over and captured the wet nurse.
Ye Jinyun could no longer suppress her anger, and she shouted harshly:
"Tell me! What did you feed the princess?"
The nurse trembled all over and immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me. I just had some itching in my private parts recently, so I put some anti-itch ointment on it. I didn't mean to murder the princess!"
Ye Jinyun's eyes flashed with anger when she heard this. "As a wet nurse, don't you know that babies can't take medicine? If you feel unwell, you should have said it! Why are you feeding the princess secretly? If something happens to the princess today, I will not let you off easily!"
The wet nurse did not argue, but just kept begging for mercy.
Ye Jinyun hugged her daughter with a look of heartache, and asked the system in her mind whether it had detected that her daughter was poisoned, but the system's answer was no.
If there is no poisoning, then we can only wait for Cui Ya to come and see if the child is okay.
Ye Jinyun glared at the wet nurse without saying a word, and remained indifferent to her pleas for mercy.
Soon, Xiao Quanzi brought Cui Ya over.
Ye Jinyun immediately carried her daughter forward and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with the child.
When Cui Ya saw Ye Jinyun sending someone to find him in a hurry, he knew that something must have happened to her. So when he saw her holding the child up, he didn't ask any questions and immediately started to treat the child.
But when he felt that tiny pulse, his expression changed.
Ye Jinyun looked at Cui Ya's sudden change in expression, his heart skipped a beat, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
Cui Ya released the little princess' pulse and checked her other conditions, then frowned and looked at Ye Jinyun:
"Has the little princess been falling asleep often these days?"
Before Ye Jinyun could answer, Lin Qingtang beside him immediately spoke: "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Cui, Xier has been very sleepy these past few days. She has been awake for no more than an hour, and she is still bleary-eyed."
When Ye Jinyun heard her say this, he knew that his daughter must have a health problem. He couldn't help but blame himself for neglecting so much because he was so busy taking care of the patient.
So he quickly spoke:
"But the anti-itch ointment got into my stomach. Is Xier's condition serious?"
Cui Ya frowned and looked at her. "Anti-itch ointment? What kind of anti-itch ointment actually contains soul-scattering grass?"
"What?"
In an instant, Ye Jinyun's face turned pale and his hands and feet felt cold.
She didn't know what kind of medicine Soul-Sanding Grass was.
But just by listening to the name and Cui Ya's tone, she could guess that it must be something very powerful.
