Chapter 637: Start
The two doctors left, and two more came in.
This time the emperor asked directly: "Can the Thirteenth Prince recover?"
Both imperial doctors were about to kneel down.
"This... the Thirteenth Prince is too young. Even if we have a prescription, we cannot give him medicine. This... this..."
"Tell the truth." Qi Yixiu frowned.
The imperial physician had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, we can't give the Thirteenth Prince medicine right now, so we can only take good care of him. If he can live safely through his third birthday, then everything will be fine."
The subtext is that if you can't pass, you really can't pass.
"From now on, the Thirteenth Prince's health will be taken care of by the two of you. Please do your best." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The two imperial doctors quickly responded.
Qi Yixiu pinched the bridge of his nose: "Go get some menthol."
The fourth day of the New Year is busy. The emperor has been very busy these days and he didn't sleep well last night. This is a headache.
I was busy serving him.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest." Chu Si said.
"Yeah." Qi Yixiu nodded but still had to finish the things at hand.
I dare not say anything about the fourth day of the New Year.
I thought that ever since Concubine Jingxian's accident, the Emperor has become more worried.
I've been in a bad mood all this time.
Fortunately, it is Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is good for everyone to have some fun. It will also make the emperor feel relieved.
Such a big incident happened last time when watching a play. Shen Chuliu was not very satisfied, so she simply called two opera singers to come to Yufu Palace to sing for her.
She was listening in the room while the two actors were singing outside. The interludes were quite interesting.
After singing for a whole morning, Shen Chuliu gave a lot of rewards.
In the afternoon, Yuanxiao came back and said, "Master, Mei Xiuyi went to the Queen Mother to ask for an audience again."
"Haha, you're still not giving up? Something bad will happen if you continue to make trouble." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, she only thinks about the Thirteenth Prince. For so long, I haven't seen her go to see the Seventh Princess." Aunt Zhang said disdainfully: "Isn't the princess her own?"
"I guess the princess is useless." Shen Chuliu said lightly.
"How cold-hearted! I guess the Empress Dowager took away the Thirteenth Prince because she saw how she was like this. She deserves it!" Nanny Zhang snorted.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with us."
Sure enough, the Queen soon ordered Mei Xiuyi to go back and put her under house arrest for a month.
It means disturbing the Queen Mother's rest.
Mei Xiuyi went back angrily.
Now she can't even see the emperor, nor does she dare to see him.
Returning to her own residence, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and picked the yellow flower from her forehead.
Looking at the ugly, dark blue scar, his expression gradually calmed down.
The flower she held in her hand had already rotted.
She looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath.
She knew very well where she had come to and she had lost.
But she was unwilling.
It won't always be like this. It's good that the Thirteenth Prince is raised by the Queen Mother. At least no one dares to reach into the Queen Mother's palace.
She thought that the current predicament was nothing and she would be able to stand up again one day.
There is really a lot of rain this autumn.
It rains a little every few days, not too much, but it still causes trouble.
As for Shen Chuliu, it’s quite fun to see her every day without having to go out.
Finally, the fifteenth day arrived, and Shen Chuliu arrived at Taiji Palace at the right time.
After everyone greeted each other, they waited for the clan members to come over.
Now all the clan members are with the emperor and the queen.
Soon everyone arrived, and the queen also came with the queen mother.
Everyone said goodbye and took their seats.
The emperor also came with his princes and relatives.
Everyone stood up and greeted.
Only after this can you sit down quietly.
With the last incident with Shen Chuliu as a foundation, it is impossible for anything to go wrong at this banquet now.
The last time, nearly a hundred people were carried out of the palace.
With so much going on, it's no small matter if someone could sneak poison into the table.
Shen Chuliu didn't know yet that at that time, Li wanted to put the blame on Concubine Li De again.
It was just discovered on the spot before it was done.
Shen Chuliu has a weak stomach, and most of the food at today's banquet is inedible.
As soon as the emperor sat down, he asked, "Have you made any other arrangements for Concubine Jingxian's diet?"
A eunuch from the imperial kitchen came out immediately and said, "Your Majesty, they are all made separately and can be used by Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have a small appetite now and can't eat much. I am so sorry for working so hard." Shen Chuliu stood up.
"My beloved, please sit down and talk. You know that you have a weak stomach, so take good care of it. Are you going to let me not eat enough at the family dinner?" Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
The princes and princesses in the royal family were all busy smiling and saying that the emperor was really good to Concubine Jingxian and so on.
Soon, some food was added to Shen Chuliu's table.
There are not many, just seven or eight items, all in small quantities.
Shen Chuliu looked quite appetizing.
I ate some while it was still hot.
Not to mention the wine, no one dared to toast her.
She was afraid that she would never drink again.
Everyone was chatting and laughing. Empress Dowager Li was in a good mood today and asked someone to bring the Thirteenth Prince to show everyone.
Oh, it’s worth mentioning that Mei Xiuyi, who was under house arrest, did not come.
However, Yeon So Won attended the event with a big belly.
Her due date is in September, and she is about to give birth.
She looked good, and although her movements were a little clumsy, she looked in good spirits.
The Queen Mother smiled and asked someone to bring her a cushion.
Indeed, with so many disgusting things happening in the palace, it is naturally a happy event that the pregnant Yeon So-won is doing well.
The banquet was very lively, with singing and dancing taking turns.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Shen Chuliu didn't feel tired during the meal, but the people from the imperial kitchen still served him ginseng soup.
The imperial physician had said that she could take a small amount of ginseng soup to refresh herself. If she took too much, she would be too weak to take the tonic.
Shen Chuliu took a few sips.
Ginseng soup is not a miracle medicine, and drinking it won’t make her feel full of energy immediately, but it will make her feel more energetic for a while.
However, she was not the only one who drank the soup. She observed that the Queen Mother also drank it.
Tsk, as expected, the Empress Dowager is already old, and this illness has taken away a lot of her energy.
The emperor was in a good mood today, and even directly ordered a dancer to be a concubine for a prince among his clan members.
However, the prince's wife's death is not a big deal.
When the party was over, the emperor ordered people to reward mooncakes everywhere.
He then gave them some fruits as a reward and then said goodbye.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the Emperor must be in the Queen's Palace.
So the couple sent the empress dowager back to the palace together and then returned to Fengzao Palace.
Perhaps the emperor really has no time to rest...
Just after washing and changing clothes, Chu Si came in: "Your Majesty, Yan Zhaoyuan has started."
"Not September?" The Queen was also startled. If something happened again, she would not be able to face anyone!
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that half a month early is nothing and it's normal." Chusi said hurriedly.
The emperor and the empress both breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was also a human being and he didn't care, nor did he want to hear about what had happened anywhere.
