Chapter 124
Concubine Kang De stood up, not daring to look at Qi Yixiu.
Qi Yixiu listened to Chu Si's detailed questions to the imperial physician, and breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that although the child's condition looked serious, his life was not in danger.
Although he is cold, the child is his blood and he doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Before dawn, all the wet nurses of Concubine Kangde had been replaced.
Although the child has begun to recognize people, he still has maids to serve him personally, so he is not too uncomfortable.
The wet nurses who served the third prince were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, beaten and driven out.
Knowing that there was no one behind all this, Qi Yixiu was not so angry anymore.
Ask someone to bring some medicinal herbs for the wet nurses.
Before leaving, the Queen said, "The child has been ill these past few days, so please excuse me from paying my respects. The Third Prince is the most important thing for you."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the Third Prince." Concubine Kangde said.
Qi Yixiu rested in a side hall of Leshou Palace.
Concubine Kangde asked Wen Xiaoyi to serve her.
Wen Xiaoyi guessed the emperor's intention and did not dare to do anything. She just asked someone to fetch water for the emperor to wash.
Then he asked, "Would Your Majesty like some snacks?"
Qi Yixiu didn't want to move, and it was getting late: "Give me some porridge."
Wen Xiaoyi hurriedly asked someone to bring the warm red bean porridge.
Qi Yixiu ate a small bowl of water and rinsed his mouth before lying down: "My beloved concubine is also tired, take a rest."
Wen Xiaoyi agreed, helped him lie down and got on the bed again.
"My beloved, tell me what's going on with the third prince." Qi Yixiu was sleepy and asked with his eyes closed.
Wen Xiaoyi had expected the emperor to ask from the beginning, so she said, "Your Majesty, I don't usually have much contact with them. I just heard what the imperial physician said, and I think it's almost the same. I have never given birth, so I don't know how to raise a child. But I think your majesty is also... concerned and confused. It happened once, and it will definitely not happen again in the future."
Qi Yixiu nodded, but in fact, Wen Xiaoyi didn't hear it either.
She pulled the quilt over the emperor and lay down aside.
The reason why Wen Xiaoyi was able to be promoted, besides because she lost a child, was that she was a smart woman.
At least she knows when to advance and when to retreat, and won't do anything that she shouldn't do at this time.
Early in the morning, when Qi Yixiu was woken up, Wen Xiaoyi was already dressed.
She helped Qi Yixiu to get up. He was not going to court today. Although Qi Yixiu was sleepy, fortunately he slept for a long time.
I went to the main hall to check on the child. The child's fever had subsided and his vomiting and diarrhea had basically stopped. But he was now listless.
"The imperial physician means that the fever will still rise, and the diarrhea will inevitably last for a day or two. But it's no big deal." Concubine Kangde stayed up all night, watching over the child.
My eye sockets are all sunken now.
"Well, you've worked hard." Qi Yixiu said.
"I was wrong in the beginning. I didn't take good care of the child. Now as long as he is well, I am willing to do anything." Concubine Kangde said.
Qi Yixiu nodded: "Let's serve the meal."
Concubine Kang De hurriedly agreed. Wen Xiaoyi served Qi Yixiu and Concubine Kang De. Concubine Kang De said, "You should sit down and have some with us."
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, and Wen Xiaoyi couldn't pretend to be afraid, so she just sat down.
After breakfast and seeing the emperor off, Concubine Kangde rewarded Wen Xiaoyi with medicinal soup as usual.
Wen Xiaoyi didn't explain why she didn't do anything last night and just drank as usual.
Then he went to pay his respects to the Queen.
She arrived late, but last night was special and the Queen didn't say anything.
Concubine Jin said, "Oh, after what happened yesterday, it was not easy for Wen Xiaoyi to have time to sleep with you."
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. What happened last night was that I was only helping the Emperor to go to bed." Wen Xiaoyi said.
"Wen Xiaoyi is a thoughtful person. She looks good, so she must have slept well last night," Ying Xiaoyi said with a smile.
This means that she is not serious and she was able to sleep well last night.
"After all, it's not Sister Wen who can decide where the emperor goes." Lu Xiaoyi was speaking for Wen Xiaoyi.
"Serving the emperor in the bedchamber is a good thing. It would be great if Wen Xiaoyi could give birth to a prince for the emperor one day." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Wen Xiaoyi had been to Cuiyunxuan several times, so these words seemed to be a way to help her out.
But Wen Xiaoyi knew that Concubine Kangde would not allow her to have a baby at the moment.
"Of course not. Being able to have a baby is a good thing. By the way, didn't I hear Concubine Yi call the imperial physician today?" Lady Li said with a smile.
Everyone knew it tacitly that Concubine Yi was too easy to bully.
The queen felt that it was about time and stood up: "Let's go first, come to me if you have anything else."
Having said that, she waved her hand and went to the back.
The second princess probably woke up, and she went to coax the child.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Miao Xiaoyi thought for a while and then stepped forward: "Sister Wen, Leshou Palace...is everything okay?"
Wen Xiaoyi pulled her aside and whispered, "The Third Prince is out of the way, don't worry. Don't ask, it's not good."
Miao Xiaoyi said nothing, just nodded and smiled at her.
Some people saw all this, and some people didn't.
Miao Xiaoyi looked unwell in the morning, but she managed to cover it up with rouge and powder.
At this moment, Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin were standing on the way back. Yao Baolin said, "After all, blood ties are hard to break."
“Blood ties are hard to break, but…” Shen Chuliu shook his head.
Miao Xiaoyi cares about the child, but only she knows what else is going on.
Miao Xiaoyi went to ask Wen Xiaoyi, and Wen Xiaoyi was willing to tell her how many things were going on here, and only they knew.
"Let's go back." Shen Chuliu said.
Yao Baolin nodded, looked over there a few more times, and then turned around.
After all, Concubine Kangde was a fourth-rank concubine of the first rank. When the Third Prince was ill, she kept the Leshou Palace under strict control and did not let anyone take advantage of the chaos to do anything.
Since that day on, Concubine Yi rarely calls for the imperial physician.
Doctor Mi also said that it was useless to see the imperial physician every day. Now we just have to wait and see how the baby performs in three or four months.
Now it's been two months, and all we can do is wait.
Two days later, Qi Yixiu asked Su Yunv to sleep with him again, and he called her to Taiji Palace.
The next morning, he gave her a lot of gifts, as if she was his new favorite.
However, Jingmeiren and Limeiren are naturally far superior to her.
Now that Concubine Yi can no longer serve the emperor in the palace, the palace is basically ruled by these few people.
Concubine Ning also slept with the emperor less often.
The most important matter in the palace right now is the Emperor’s birthday.
It was held that year when the mourning period was lifted. It was not held last year because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that it was not appropriate to hold it, so it must be held this year.
Although it was not a big event, but when it comes to the emperor, there is no such thing as a small matter. This month is the emperor's birthday.
The Queen also did not do the wedding last year because the Emperor did not do it.
The Queen's birthday was even more bizarre, as it happened to be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Now it was only three or five days away from the Emperor's birthday, and the palace was already busy.
As for Shen Chuliu, she only needs to prepare the clothes and jewelry she will wear that day.
She doesn't lack these and doesn't care much about them.
The servants were rather nervous.
Now there is another Su in the palace, and she is extremely beautiful, so we have to be on high alert.
