Chapter 506: Doubts
After talking to Ning Zhaorong, the two of them went back, and the sky gradually darkened.
After returning to Yufu Palace and changing his clothes, Zengchun said, "This Empress Ning Zhaorong has always been at odds with Empress Yan Xiurong for several years. Now that she is saying this, I'm afraid she wants to use your hand to suppress Yan Xiurong?"
"Then she is overthinking it?" Chi Su snorted, "Can our queen listen to her instigation?"
"She definitely has the intention to sow discord, but she has been fighting with Yan Xiurong for several years, and I think it's obvious that Yan Xiurong is not simple. Yan Xiurong is definitely not simple, at least she is very cunning. But I have nothing to do with her. If she doesn't come to harm me, I won't care." Shen Chuliu said.
"By the way, the master's Jiang Zimi is married." Zengchun said.
"Hmm? Which daughter is she?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"Hey, there is no such thing as a rich daughter. She is just the daughter of an ordinary clerk. She is good-looking, but it is right. Her family is of such a good status. If she were good, why would Jiang Zimi marry her of a lower status? He might even have arranged a marriage for her." Zeng Chun said.
Shen Chuliu nodded, indeed.
If Jiang Zilan had not committed suicide and was still alive, it would definitely be a good marriage for her, and it is possible that she could really marry the second prince.
This Jiang Zimi won’t be bad either.
What a pity, human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
After dinner in the evening, Shen Chuliu went to sleep.
For Shen Chuliu, it was a peaceful night.
But in Ruiqing Palace, the Ninth Prince had another nightmare.
He hadn't had a nightmare for a long time, and when it happened again, everyone in the room was scared.
Fortunately, this group of maids and servants were still calm and did not make any fuss. Instead, they woke him up, coaxed him to drink hot water, wiped his sweat, and then went back to sleep.
Even so, I was startled three times in one night.
The last time I even wet the bed.
The Ninth Prince himself was greatly shocked and became depressed.
Only in the morning did he dare to call the imperial physician and notify all the places.
So the Queen went to Ruiqing Palace to visit early in the morning and was exempted from paying her respects in the morning.
Whether she was just pretending or was serious, as the stepmother, it was her duty to go there.
The imperial physician examined the Ninth Prince and said that he was much better now. Nightmares were not something that could be cured by taking medicine. Compared to before when he used to have nightmares frequently, it was only once in a while now, which was much better.
Qi Yixiu came over after the morning court session and happened to meet the queen.
The two listened to the imperial physician's reply and examined the patient again. They were relieved to know that he was fine.
The princes were standing at the door, and they would come in to pay their respects only when they were free.
The eighth prince was a beat slow in clenching his hands.
Qi Yixiu looked at the child and sighed: "Come here, Zhu'er."
The eighth prince responded slowly and walked over: "Father."
Qi Yixiu patted his shoulder and then pinched it: "Why are you wearing so little?"
The eighth prince's nurse was so frightened that she almost knelt down, but the eighth prince kept repeating, "It's hot."
Qi Yixiu touched his head and hands, and they were indeed warm.
"Serve the Eighth Prince well." Qi Yixiu said.
As he was speaking, the Sixth Prince sneezed loudly.
Qi Yixiu looked over and asked: "What's wrong? Is Yan'er sick?"
"No." The Sixth Prince rubbed his nose and said, "Father, my Eighth Brother is definitely not cold. I pulled him when I came."
"Well, are you cold?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"It's not cold, my son. It's not cold yet, it's not cold yet." The Sixth Prince laughed.
Qi Yixiu also smiled and said, "That's good. It's time to go study. Let's go. Old Nine can take a rest today. Queen, since you are exempted from paying respects to the harem today, let's go and have a visit with the Queen Mother."
The queen responded, "Then go ahead."
After they left, the Sixth Prince took the Eighth Prince away.
Fortunately, the Eighth Prince likes to follow the Sixth Prince the most. He will follow him when he is pulled without any resistance.
In Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu nodded after hearing Yinhu's reply: "That means nothing is wrong. The Ninth Prince has recovered from this problem."
"Yes, it has been happening over the years. They said it was cured this time, but it still hasn't. The Ninth Prince wet the bed, and the nurses kept it a secret, but they couldn't. Zhen Xiaoyi will be upset again if she hears about it."
"As a mother, I'm naturally upset. Go ahead. Go and see Concubine Yao. If she's okay, call her over." Shen Chuliu waved her hand.
Yinhu agreed and soon invited Concubine Yao to come.
Naturally, Concubine Yao had nothing to do. She spent her days either doing needlework or playing cards with the maids. She didn't like reading much either. When she had nothing to do, she would talk to Shen Chuliu or go out to talk to Concubine Rong.
"Your Majesty, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Lady Yao asked after paying her respects.
"Let's go sit over there." They went to the easternmost room of the main hall. It was a study room, but Shen Chuliu had someone put a low couch like a tatami on the floor. There happened to be a whole wall of window lattices here, which were changed to hollow ones. When they wanted to open it, it was like sitting in the yard.
It was just completed last month, and Shen Chuliu has been enjoying spending time here recently.
"I'm fine, I just want to talk to you." Shen Chuliu brought tea: "I always feel that the prince's illness is also strange. Under what circumstances does a person always have nightmares?"
This is not just a nightmare. Generally speaking, nightmares are what we commonly call sleep paralysis.
It's okay once you wake up. There are times when you wake up with a startle, but most of the time it passes as soon as you open your eyes.
But the Ninth Prince, every time he was suppressed first and then shocked.
"That's true. The Ninth Prince is indeed strange, but the imperial physician has examined this matter many times. If it was poison, it should have been discovered long ago, right? Or... is there really something unclean about it? But that shouldn't be the case. After all, the Ninth Prince is the son of the dragon."
The ancients' fear of ghosts and gods was indeed...
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "I'm just curious. You know, I once read a medical book, I don't remember the details, but it said that waking up from dreams all the time will damage the brain and internal organs over time."
This is of course nonsense; she was speaking based on her memories from her past life.
If you don't sleep well and wake up early for a long time, you will feel very tired, and then suffer from neurasthenia, which will cause mental and physical illnesses.
"But this... the imperial doctors are helpless. Asking the monk to chant sutras seemed to be effective before, but I'm afraid the emperor won't allow this to happen all the time. Unless... the ninth prince is fostered in a temple." said Concubine Yao.
"I'm afraid the Empress Dowager won't agree." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, there is nothing we can do now. We can only hope that this is just a temporary condition and that he will be fine when he grows up. But speaking of which, the Eighth Prince is getting better now, right? Some time ago, I saw that he could speak well, but his reaction was slow."
"He wasn't really stupid, he just reacted slowly and seemed unable to feel the warmth and coldness of life. It's Wen Chongrong who has no patience." Shen Chuliu snorted.
"Oh, poor child." Lady Yao thought, if this was her child, even if he was nothing great, she would still love him like a treasure.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have that luck.
