"Imperial Physician Sun."
At this moment, the Emperor Yongzheng’s imposing voice came from above the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Sun. He quickly cleared his mind of distractions and replied, “This servant is here.”
"After you return to the Imperial Hospital, tell them that Consort Shu has contracted a strange illness. Then immediately summon all the imperial physicians to study Consort Shu's medical records."
As for the medical records of Consort Shu's so-called strange illness, you can handle that yourself. Hmm, this time, I'll keep Consort Shu's actual medical records with me for now.”
Yongzheng's voice was unhurried, carrying just the right amount of detachment.
The head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Sun, quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I just told Consort Shu that her health is fine when I was with Chunqi Xiuse."
Yongzheng's expression was inscrutable. After a moment of contemplation, he instructed, "Shufei doesn't need to know about this. If the imperial physician asks, just say that I told you to keep it from Shufei."
Then, after a moment's thought, Yongzheng continued, "It doesn't matter if the other imperial physicians know. The effect I want is for everyone else to think that I deliberately kept the matter of Consort Shu's strange illness a secret from Consort Shu, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince."
The Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, replied with a solemn expression, "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the muscles of the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, were a little tense. At the same time, he felt a chill spread from his spine to his whole body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Since the birth of several princes and princesses, the current emperor's methods have gradually become more lenient.
Alas, some people have probably forgotten the bloodshed that followed the current emperor's ascension to the throne.
"Also, when the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince come looking for you, don't tell them the truth."
The Emperor Yongzheng’s imposing voice, though not angry, rang out again from above the head of Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
He quickly kowtowed again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After a brief silence, Yongzheng instructed, "You may leave now."
"Yes, this servant takes his leave."
After the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, left, Emperor Yongzheng frowned and pondered for a while. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Not long after, Yongzheng made a gesture and asked in a deep voice, "How is Consort Yun doing?"
A shadow flashed in the room, and in the blink of an eye, two figures were kneeling before Yongzheng's desk.
At this moment, one of the shadowy figures stepped forward and then mimicked all the expressions on Consort Yun's face when she was alone in the inner room. He did it perfectly!
Including Consort Yun's suppressed laughter and gritted teeth in hatred, if Consort Yun were to see this scene now, she would probably be terrified.
...
The next day, the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu sat on the soft couch, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.
She kept thinking about Emperor Yongzheng's instructions from the previous night, and something felt off.
However, Emperor Yongzheng's expression at the time did not seem angry with him; he spoke quite gently.
Emperor Yongzheng said that the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, Physician Sun, had informed him that his concubine, Consort Shu, had been overthinking lately and needed to rest and recuperate.
So for the next few months, I don't need to go out and enjoy myself; I can just rest and recuperate.
Ituma Shushu was genuinely confused: ??? Rest is rest, that's fine.
But why can't I produce Chunqi Xiuse for several more months?
Well, for this reason, Emperor Yongzheng even exempted himself from paying his respects to the Empress.
It's somewhat true that Emperor Yongzheng placed himself under house arrest, because from this day forward, this beautiful and talented eunuch and palace maid would no longer be able to enter and leave the inner palace as usual.
It's not that Emperor Yongzheng imprisoned himself, because he allowed the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan to come to his private quarters after class, just like before.
Moreover, if Chunqi Xiuse needs anything, she can just give the order, because there are a large group of eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside Chunqi Xiuse.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
Xia Ju whispered worriedly.
Dongmei asked with a worried look, "Your Majesty, will the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince still be able to come to Chunqi Xiuse today?"
Ituma Shushu frowned in distress and said softly, "The three of them still come to Chunqi Xiuse after class in the Imperial Study as before. As for what happened?"
Actually, I'm still a bit confused. Last night, the Emperor told me that I'll need to recuperate peacefully at Chunqi Xiuse for the next few months, and even the monthly greetings to the Empress on the first and fifteenth of each month are waived.
Xia Ju and Dong Mei both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Dongmei spoke up: "Your Majesty, as long as the three princes can still come to Chunqi Xiuse as usual, it proves that it is not Your Majesty's problem."
Xia Ju calmed down and comforted her, "Your Majesty, the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince are by your side now."
The fact that the Emperor did not separate you from the princes means that it is not your fault, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you just need to rest and recuperate peacefully from now on; there's no need to worry too much.
Ituma Shushu could only nod, unsure whether she was bewildered by Emperor Yongzheng's sudden order.
I'm not as anxious and worried as I used to be. Although I still feel heartache whenever I think about the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, I'm much better now.
Sigh, I've never felt this anxious and worried since when I first transmigrated to this world or when I first learned that I only had one month to live.
But now that I'm a mother, sigh...
Just then, two voices reached Ituma Shushu's ears.
"Mother, Mother..."
"Mother, Mother..."
She felt a wave of embarrassment, because it was the voice of Lixia and Mangzhong, not the voice of the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao.
Ituma Shushu said, "Alright, alright."
Li Xia: "Okay, okay."
Grain in Ear: "Alright, alright."
Xia Ju, Dong Mei, and the other servants secretly laughed.
Ituma Shushu looked helpless and had no choice but to instruct, "Xiao Xiangzi and Xiao Dongzi, take Lixia and Mangzhong outside the main hall to calm them down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Xiangzi and Xiao Dongzi were already used to it, because Consort Shu only used this one trick to deal with Lixia and Mangzhong.
Ituma Shushu touched the heads of the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao, who had walked up to her, and said softly, "You two little lazy pigs, don't think your mother doesn't know that it was you two who spoiled the Beginning of Summer and the Grain in Ear seasons."
Otherwise, why would Lixia and Mangzhong always call out "Mother," "Father Emperor," "Seventh Brother," "Eighth Brother," and "Ninth Brother" so often?
