It is said that after Concubine Xian learned the news, she smashed a set of exquisite jade bracelets in her palace that day.

The virtuous concubine lost her mind and was so angry that she called the little prince to her palace and made him kneel down as punishment.

"Why are you so unpromising? If you were more motivated, your mother wouldn't be so passive. You let your stupid brother take all the advantages!"

The virtuous concubine walked around the palace angrily, pointing at the little prince's face and cursing him.

When Concubine Xian was disciplining her own son, she naturally dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids, and the little prince knelt alone in the palace.

The pain from his knees made the little prince cry out of grievance.

"Still crying? You are already over ten years old, and you are still crying like this. Don't you want to shoulder the responsibility of being a prince? If so, how can your mother be at ease letting you be a prince in the future?"

The virtuous concubine was so angry that she spoke without thinking.

If someone with ulterior motives heard this and spread it, I'm afraid the Emperor would punish Concubine Xian.

The third prince is still young, he is only eleven years old this year, and he has always been a invisible existence in the harem. The older princes are older, so naturally they don't play with the little prince.

There was no other prince of the same age as the little prince in the palace. Basically, the little prince played by himself with the palace maids.

I don’t have much contact with my brothers and sisters on a daily basis.

During this period, due to Concubine Xian's ambition, the little prince was forced to end his happy childhood early, and he had to study the Four Books and Five Classics every day.

The little prince was already very unhappy dealing with that teacher who talked a lot of nonsense every day.

Unexpectedly, he completed his homework on time today and received praise from his father and son, but when he turned around, he was summoned to the palace by his own mother and made to kneel in punishment.

The little prince felt indignant and a little aggrieved.

All the emotions piled up in his heart, which made the little prince cry, but he didn't expect that he would be scolded by the virtuous concubine again.

The little prince didn't dare to cry for a while, and just held his tears in. He actually fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.

At this time, the virtuous concubine was facing away from the little prince, cursing him incessantly, and obviously did not notice that something was wrong with the little prince.

When Concubine Xian finished her last curse, she turned around and saw the little prince lying on the ground, not moving at all.

This time, Concubine Xian was frightened: "Come, come, come quickly, please ask the head of the Imperial Hospital to come to me, and quickly bring the prince to **!"

The eunuchs and palace maids who came upon hearing the noise were all shocked to see the prince lying motionless on the ground.

By the time the little prince was brought to the palace, his face had turned purple from holding his breath, but luckily the head of the Imperial Hospital was on duty in the palace that day and he arrived quickly.

Seeing the little prince's purple cheeks, Concubine Xian was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

Fortunately, the head of the Imperial Hospital was a man who had seen the world. He stepped forward and opened the little prince's mouth. He put his other hand on the little prince's chest and pressed down suddenly.

The little prince coughed, took a deep breath, sat up suddenly, and coughed violently.

It was not until a long while later that the little prince's face changed from purple to red, but his eyes were filled with tears and his gaze was a little dull.

The head of the Imperial Hospital felt the prince's pulse carefully, then frowned and said to Concubine Xian, "Reporting to Concubine Xian, the little prince seems to be in a bad condition. Judging from his pulse, he has stagnation in his liver, which is damaged. In addition, he was holding his breath in his chest and couldn't breathe it out. I'm afraid he needs to be nursed back to health."

"At least he needs to recuperate for a while. The prince's eyes are dazed now, and he seems to have suffered a serious blow. I wonder if the Concubine Xian knows what kind of blow the prince has suffered?"

The virtuous concubine looked around and didn't dare to look at the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The virtuous concubine knew best what a heavy blow it was. It was simply that when she scolded the prince just now, her son heard it and took it to heart.

Only then did Concubine Xian realize how frightening her excited tone was.

But there were only her and the little prince in the store at that time. If she insisted on pursuing the matter, it would probably get reported to the Emperor, and Concubine Xian would be the first one to suffer.

So Concubine Xian looked around, pulled the corner of her mouth nervously and said: "Maybe the teacher said it was a little serious when we were in class, and maybe the prince hasn't recovered yet. I wonder how long it will take to evacuate the situation?"

The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau naturally knew that there must be something going on, but he was also very clear that in the harem there were some things that could not be asked about thoroughly, and they could be dealt with as long as they could be smoothed over.

"The prince's symptoms are somewhat complicated now. I can only do my best to prescribe more nourishing and restorative medicines to first heal the prince's internal organs. As for when the prince can recover from the blow, it depends on the prince's own efforts!"

Upon hearing what the imperial physician said, Concubine Xian became panicked. The little prince was now a trump card in her hand, but now he refused to eat, drink or talk, just like an idiot.

The virtuous concubine was really panicked.

Moreover, the imperial physician had no way to guarantee that the little prince could recover to his previous state. Concubine Xian felt like the sky was falling.

At that moment, the confusion and pessimism about the future, as well as the heartache for her son, were entangled together.

The virtuous concubine choked up for a moment, but she held on in front of the imperial physician and the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, the head of the academy, to help the prince recover as soon as possible!"

The imperial physician looked at the dazed prince with some pity and said, "Try to let the prince rest during this period. Letting the prince stay alone may be better for his condition!"

In fact, the head of the Imperial Medical Service said this specifically because he felt sorry for the little prince.

Even though he had little dealings with Concubine Xian, the head of the Imperial Medical Service, who had seen countless people, could see that Concubine Xian was a person with a strong desire for control.

So all he could do was to help the little prince buy some breathing time.

However, the little prince could no longer hear what people outside were saying. He just stared at his hands with dull eyes, standing there in a daze.

After sending away the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Concubine Xian touched her son's cheek with her hand trembling a little.

She still remembered that the little prince liked it most before and that was to be close to her, but now, even when Concubine Xian was holding the little prince, the child just stared blankly ahead without saying a word, without any reaction at all.

"Remember, the little prince just caught a cold and won't go to school these few days. If I hear any rumors outside, I will send all of you to the Ministry of Punishment!"

The virtuous concubine spoke viciously to the people present.
