Chapter 597: Plea
It was also at this time that the cabinet ministers arrived here and begged the emperor to show mercy to the Sixth Prince.
Some ministers even went to Taiji Palace to plead for the Sixth Prince.
There's no way.
As long as you have a healthy mind, you will know that you cannot help but ask.
Is the emperor punishing the prince? The emperor is telling everyone that even though the Sixth Prince was wrong, he still values him! This is completely different from what happened to the Second Prince back then.
Everyone still remembers the emperor's attitude when the second prince returned to the imperial city from the southwest.
That's not seen.
As a father, if you see your child make a mistake, will you spank him severely? No.
What's more, after the emperor took action like this, who would dare to say anything bad about the Sixth Prince? What's even more impressive is that Concubine Jing didn't even come. She really could sit still.
However, the eighty strokes were not completed.
The ministers begged on their knees, and the emperor had no choice but to ask them to stop. Even so, he still beat them with more than fifty boards.
Qi Yan couldn't get up either.
I just felt relieved and knew that everything was fine, and then I fainted.
He was hurriedly carried back to Ruiqing Palace.
When Qi Yixiu heard that he had fainted, he felt heartbroken, but he just asked the imperial physician to go and see him.
"Ask Concubine Jing to take a look, and ask the imperial physician to do his best."
I agreed on the fourth day and started to make arrangements.
In Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the news and stood up: "Let's go."
In Ruiqing Palace, the Sixth Prince was lying on his stomach. The imperial physician had to remove his outer clothes first, and if he showed mercy, his buttocks would be broken.
But they are just flesh wounds, and there is no damage to the tendons and bones.
When Shen Chuliu arrived, the imperial physician and others hurried to pay their respects.
"Don't worry about me, just do it quickly. Have those who were beaten been carried back?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"To answer your Majesty, they have all been carried back and some have gone to see them," said the wet nurse Wei with red eyes.
"Well, Su Ye, if you ask someone to leave the palace and go to the He and Song families, just tell them that it was my intention. It was my fault that the Sixth Prince implicated his companion. The children are all injured and cannot leave for the time being, so they should stay in the palace to recover. I will definitely send them back in good condition. Tell their families not to worry too much."
"Yes, your majesty, don't worry." Su Ye quickly responded.
"Give them all the best medicines, and take good care of them like you would the Sixth Prince. I heard that Chu Gu still has an arrow wound? You must take good care of him. Three meals a day should be paid for from my share of the profits, and they must be nutritious. You are not allowed to eat poorly." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, your majesty, don't worry." Su Mu hurriedly memorized them one by one.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Sixth Prince was too nervous before and fainted due to a moment of relaxation. It's better for him to be unconscious. It's painful to be awake now." said the imperial physician.
"He deserves the pain." Shen Chuliu said so, but looking at the child lying there with blood all over his buttocks and a transparent white face, how could he not feel pain?
The imperial physician also noticed it, but he was very gentle and did not dare to slack off in the slightest as he first took off the clothes from the Sixth Prince.
Then clean and apply medicine.
During the wound cleaning, Qi Yan woke up. He had no choice but to wake up because it was in so much pain.
He shouted loudly, scaring Shen Chuliu.
"How is it?" Shen Chuliu was sitting in front of his couch, nervously holding his hand.
"Ah? Ah... Mother." Qi Yan came back to his senses after a while: "It's okay, it just hurts. Mother, you are here."
"You've been away for a few months, and as soon as you come back you poke me in the heart!" Shen Chuliu couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder.
The Sixth Prince snorted and said, "Don't hit me, mother. I feel pain everywhere right now. I can't feel it. Wait until I feel better before hitting you."
Shen Chuliu's eyes were red. "Does it hurt a lot? The imperial physician has some good medicine. It will get better if you apply it."
"It's okay, it's okay. I must not have used too much force, otherwise I wouldn't have survived these fifty or sixty beatings." The Sixth Prince was clear-headed: "Don't worry, mother."
"You." Shen Chuliu touched his face which was covered with cold sweat: "Bear with it."
As he spoke, he held the child's hand. The child had grown taller in the past few months and his hands had become bigger.
Already on par with her.
The Sixth Prince was indeed in pain, but he was afraid of hurting his mother, so he could only hold on.
The imperial doctors moved very quickly. Although the wound cleaning was painful, the Sixth Prince could hold it in when he was conscious.
Only after applying the powder did he completely relax, and he felt his eyes go dark from time to time: "Ouch, it hurts so much..."
Shen Chuliu felt distressed and amused, and touched his face again: "It will get better slowly."
"Mother, I feel dizzy and sleepy." The Sixth Prince sighed.
The imperial physician saw that Shen Chuliu looked unwell, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is in pain, and he is also tired from the journey. Just rest more."
"Yeah." The Sixth Prince wanted to close his eyes as he spoke.
"Don't sleep yet. You'll be beaten when you come back. Eat something before you go to sleep." Shen Chuliu sighed, "Mom will feed you."
“Hehe, I can eat by myself.” The Sixth Prince perked up embarrassedly.
Soon, the light and nutritious meal was brought, but Shen Chuliu did not feed him because the Sixth Prince did not allow it.
So in the end it was the wet nurse who fed the baby.
He was indeed hungry. It would have been fine if he hadn't smelled it, but now that he smelled the fragrance of the food, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
After eating a full meal, he fell asleep on his stomach.
Shen Chuliu looked at him for a long time and sighed: "Thank you for your trouble. You should also take good care of those who were beaten. They are all half-grown children. Don't let anything cause any trouble."
"Don't worry, Madam. I have checked it out. It's just superficial wounds. It's nothing serious." Doctor Zhao smiled apologetically, "Fortunately, it's cold today, so there's no need to worry about the wound festering. But during this time, the Sixth Prince and these young masters will have to stay in bed."
"It's what they deserve, a bunch of naughty kids. They deserve to suffer." Shen Chuliu gritted his teeth.
The Sixth Prince was asleep and didn't hear it, otherwise he would have laughed again.
"I won't go to see them in person. I'll be frightened if I go. Chi Su, you go and take a look at them all." Shen Chuliu said.
Chi Su responded and left with a pair of walnut eyes.
Two imperial physicians have left, and Imperial Physician Zhao is still here. He doesn't dare to leave either, as he has to be careful about what happens to the Sixth Prince.
With this injury, fever is inevitable.
So, in Ruiqing Palace, Doctor Zhao first found a room to rest. He was not young anymore, so he needed a place to lean against and lie down.
Doctor Zhao has been taking care of Shen Chuliu and her son for more than ten years, so naturally he treats them well.
Shen Chuliu watched the child fall asleep and then watched the child gradually get a fever.
He sighed, there was nothing he could do but ask someone to slowly cool him down.
I don’t know if it was because he was too tired yesterday or what, but the Sixth Prince didn’t wake up and just kept sleeping.
Doctor Zhao came to see me once every hour and said that everything was fine.
In the afternoon, the Sixth Prince finally woke up.
It is still the first month of the lunar year. Although there is nothing to do on the fourth day, Fengzao Palace will be hosting guests from the sixth day onwards.
So Shen Chuliu is only free to watch him today and tomorrow.
In the evening, Shen Chuliu returned to Yufu Palace. She was also tired after a long day. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince seemed to be really fine.
Shen Chuliu left two people around him there to prevent any problems.
