Chapter 358 Kindness
In Cuiyunxuan, the Sixth Prince had stopped crying, but his body temperature had obviously risen.
The lake water in February was freezing cold. Even if Yu Lou and a few eunuchs pulled you out as soon as you fell in, you wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He actually didn't choke on much of the water, he was mainly suffocated by the cold.
The imperial physician diagnosed it and said that it was a severe cold, and fever was inevitable. He was also frightened, and I was afraid that he would have nightmares at night.
Take good care of yourself, you will be fine after a few days of rest after the fever subsides.
The Sixth Prince has a good foundation and has rarely been sick since he was born.
Shen Chuliu's throat was dry: "Just take your time. I don't ask for a quick recovery, I just hope there won't be any problems left."
"Don't worry, your Majesty. He didn't fall into the water for long, so he won't be seriously injured. He just caught a cold. I'll prepare some medicine for the prince to bathe in, which is more effective than drinking. It will make him sweat. Then soak once a day in the future, and he will be fine in ten days. Don't worry, your Majesty. The Sixth Prince is blessed with a long life and will be fine." Doctor Zhao and Shen Chuliu have been friends for many years and he would not lie to her.
"That's good." Shen Chuliu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the inner room, the Sixth Prince was held by his nurse with his eyes blinking. When he saw Shen Chuliu come in, he called out, "Mother."
"Yeah, I'm scared to death." Shen Chuliu held his little hand: "Are you scared?"
The Sixth Prince nodded. How could a child this young not be afraid when he was suddenly pushed into the water?
"Don't be afraid, mom is here." Shen Chuliu touched his head: "You have a fever, you need to take a bath after you drink the medicine."
The Sixth Prince just nodded. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was like a wilted little rabbit after being frightened. He couldn't cry anymore and just wanted to stay in someone's arms and be coaxed.
The emperor had been watching from the side and heard what the imperial physician said. He walked over and touched the sixth prince's head: "Yan'er is so good."
The Sixth Prince blinked: "Father."
"Yeah." Qi Yixiu knew clearly that his heart was swelling. He was also afraid just now, very afraid.
Even though he had many children, he cared about the ones he did have. Otherwise, he would not have been so indifferent to Han because of the death of the seventh prince.
In particular, he doted on Shen, came to Cuiyunxuan often, and met the Sixth Prince more often.
What's more, this child is very good at seeking a sense of existence, like a lively little calf. How could he not feel distressed when he suddenly became like this?
He didn't want to see the child look pale at all. Even if he was always in a bad mood, he hoped that the Sixth Prince would be like that. That would be the best.
After the Sixth Prince was taken to take a bath, Qi Yixiu said, "You should also go change your clothes. You are all wet."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Your Majesty, I am from Cuiyunxuan, I will interrogate him myself, if there is any problem I will send him to the Internal Criminal Department. Yan'er almost lost his life today, I beg Your Majesty to give him justice."
Shen Chuliu sounded a little weak when he spoke, but he was very calm.
"Don't worry, Yan'er is also my child. I'll go first, take care of yourself, I'll come to see you in the evening." Qi Yixiu patted her hands. There was something in his heart that he didn't know what to say. He always felt that something was wrong.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "I am not well-dressed, so I will not see you off. I will wait for you to come in the evening."
The emperor smiled and tidied her messy hair: "Stay here."
After seeing the emperor off, Shen Chuliu changed his clothes and watched the Sixth Prince take a bath, drink the medicine and fall asleep. Then he called Yu Lou and others over.
"Change your clothes first." Shen Chuliu said lightly while sitting on the corridor wrapped in a cloak.
Yu Lou and the others didn't dare to say anything more and just got busy.
Those of them who went into the water and hugged others naturally got wet.
After changing clothes, Shen Chuliu said, "Tell me, what happened."
Yulou knelt down and walked a few steps: "My Lord, at first the servants followed the princes. Today it was the Third Prince who proposed to go to Luming Lake. All the princes went. Originally they wanted to take a boat, but the Fourth Prince's eunuch said it was windy today and the lake was cold, so they didn't take the boat."
"Everything was fine, but the Third Prince suddenly brought up something that happened outside, saying... that someone outside wanted the Second Prince to be the Crown Prince, but the Second Prince couldn't do it."
"The eunuch of the Second Prince said that the Third Prince shouldn't be so rude to his elder brother. Our Sixth Prince just walked over and said, 'Father loves me the most, that's why I want to be the Crown Prince.' The Second Prince suddenly went crazy and pushed hard. It happened to be a place near water, and the Sixth Prince fell in. Damn you, servants, for not being able to hold him back."
"Who taught him to say this?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"I deserve to die, but I see no one dares to say this. The nurses have been under your watch for all these years, so I certainly wouldn't dare to say this. The new servants are also very obedient, and they are still young, so no one dares to ask them to serve alone. So I'm afraid this was just something the Sixth Prince thought up on his own."
Yu Lou knew not to play tricks on his master: "I think the Sixth Prince may not know what the Crown Prince means. He just thinks that he is a good person and wants to compete for favor with his brothers. But... because of the things outside these days, the Second Prince is very unhappy... and this is how the incident happened."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Today, my Yan'er almost died."
"I deserve to die." Yu Lou's heart was shaking violently.
"You certainly didn't expect the Second Prince to attack the Sixth Prince, but the responsibility is still yours. I wish I could beat you to death, but I'm not such a cruel master. So you can escape the death penalty, but you can't avoid being beaten. If anyone doesn't want to be beaten, tell me as soon as possible, and I won't beat you, and you don't have to serve my Yan'er anymore."
Shen Chuliu has been speaking in a cold tone ever since the Sixth Prince got into trouble.
It always makes people feel that she is suppressing something.
"I am willing to be punished, please punish me, master!" Yu Lou said hurriedly.
The four young eunuchs who followed out also cried and said they were willing to be punished. In fact, the youngest of them was only seven years old.
It's impossible not to be afraid. I was trembling with fear, but being driven out would be even more miserable.
Besides, they had never suffered any hardship when they followed Concubine Jing Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince. Because they were young, their masters took extra care of them and their diet was much better. At least since they came to Cuiyunxuan, they had never been hungry.
In the past, going hungry was common in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Last winter, I made a warm cotton jacket, two of them, so I could change them if they got wet or dirty, so I wouldn't be cold.
So even though they were afraid of being beaten, they didn't want to leave. Besides, if something happened to their master, they should be punished. It was a blessing to be alive.
"Yu Lou will receive sixty strokes of the cane. The four of you will receive twenty strokes of the cane each. Okay, continue to serve the Sixth Prince. If something like this happens again, just end it yourselves." Shen Chuliu said coldly.
"Thank you, master! Thank you, master!" Yu Lou said hurriedly.
Several young eunuchs also cried and thanked him.
Shen Chuliu held Zizhu's hand and went in: "Tell someone to keep those kids healthy when they're being beaten, don't hurt them. Give them medicine afterward. Also ask them to keep an eye on their diet."
"Master, you are so kind." Zizhu sighed.
