The pink and tender baby was horrified when a streak of blood suddenly flowed out. Nian Gao was still confused and said to him softly, "Yeah, Gao Gao feels uncomfortable."
Emperor Ming Yan's heart was trembling.
There was the sound of horse hooves outside, and Yan Shiyue and his men came back on horseback, trotting over here.
When he saw him, he asked anxiously, "Aye, what's going on? What do you mean Jiaozi Nian Gao is sick?"
She patted the dirt off her body and came to hold the rice cake: "Baby, come here and see mother."
Nian Gao wanted to turn her head away, but Emperor Ming Yan reached out and held her little head, not daring to let Yan Shiyue see her like this.
Even he, as a jerk, couldn't stand it, and she, as a mother, would go crazy when she saw it.
Gu Jiuxing's heart was also beating wildly. He quickly took the child in his hands, held him aside, and carefully wiped away the blood.
Yan Shiyue was very dirty and didn't notice anything wrong. He said, "Aye, what happened?"
Emperor Ming Yan saw that her little face was not even as big as a palm, she looked tired, she was in a mess, and there were gold flakes hanging in her hair. He couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.
...
...
He walked over and patted her back gently: "Don't worry, Yue'er... Aye will tell you."
He was halfway through his speech when he became speechless again.
What can he say? What can he say?
The child's father, who took care of the affairs of the Firearms Camp for him, had been exposed to wind and rain and was still seriously injured and had not yet recovered; the child's mother, the imperial princess who should have been living a life of luxury, was also busy and exhausted, taking care of the business department for him.
Even though this is the family of a minister, he is a great contributor and his children should be well taken care of.
He certainly didn't think the Queen Mother did it on purpose. There was absolutely no reason for the Queen Mother to do such a thing. But an oversight was inevitable.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled bitterly after a while and said, "The Queen Mother likes the two children, dumplings and rice cakes, and often invites them to the palace to keep her company. However, the Queen Mother is in poor health, and most of what she eats on weekdays is tonic food. The two children ate it a few times, and their bodies can't stand it."
Yan Shiyue's expression changed a little.
She rushed over to hug Jiaozi and looked at him carefully. Jiaozi said to her sensibly, "Mother, Jiaozi is fine."
Looking at the child's abnormally red forehead, Yan Shiyue suddenly remembered the imperial physician kneeling outside the door just now, and was panicked and at a loss what to do.
After a long while, she managed to calm down and asked in a trembling voice, "Master?"
Su Ji sighed silently for a long time before saying, "Take your time to treat it. From today on, anything these two children take, even a sip of water, must be checked by me."
He didn't give a direct answer, which meant the situation was more serious than she thought!
Yan Shiyue's lips trembled, her mind went blank, and she hugged the child tightly for a long while, not knowing what to say.
Those who have been parents know that the most painful thing in the world is when their children are sick. Children are so young that they can’t tell clearly where they are feeling the pain. Seeing them in pain feels like a fire is burning in your heart, and you wish you could suffer for them.
In the palace.
The Queen Mother is ready to rest.
Nanny Shou came in hurriedly: "Empress Dowager!"
"What are you arguing about!" The Queen Mother was just soaking her feet and was startled by her. She couldn't help but scolded, "You are already old, why are you so flustered?"
Shou Ma Ma knelt down and pleaded guilty: "This old slave deserves death."
"Okay," the Queen Mother said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Shou Ma said, "I heard that the young master and his sister had a nosebleed when they returned home. Old Divine Doctor Su examined them and reported the pulse case to me. When the emperor saw the pulse case, he immediately called all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital over. I heard that he also called the director who was not on duty. Now they are all in the Duke's Mansion."
The Queen Mother was stunned.
After a while, she asked, "What's going on?"
But how could she not know what was going on? She then added, "It's just a few sips of soup, it's not that serious!"
Nanny Shou didn't dare to speak.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said coldly: "I am not senile yet! I am afraid that the Queen has arranged a play to intimidate me!"
Nanny Fu sighed inwardly and slowly advised: "Empress Dowager, the young master and his sister are only two years old... Maybe, they really have made up for it."
The Queen Mother said coldly, "So what? As a great-grandmother, I had good intentions, but who knew that they were so unfortunate that they couldn't bear it!
Well-intentioned? Then why don't you provide supplies to the Ninth and Tenth Princes?
The Queen Mother was actually a reasonable person on weekdays. She was considerate of her servants and kind to the younger generations, but once she was determined to make a point, she would not be easily persuaded and would not listen.
Nanny Fu stopped talking and just continued to massage her shoulders and back.
The Queen Mother slapped her hand away and said angrily, "I want to see if the Emperor will bother me for these two youngsters!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the eunuch outside came in to announce: "The Emperor has arrived..."
The Queen Mother's face changed.
Emperor Ming Yan strode in and waved away the servants.
Nanny Fu and Nanny Shou bowed and left. The Queen Mother said with a stern face, "It's so late, is there something wrong with the Emperor?"
Emperor Ming Yan asked anxiously, "Mother, you summoned Jiaozi and the other two to the palace. Did you give them food?"
"Perhaps," the Queen Mother said, "these two children are clever and well-behaved. I like them very much. When I summon them to the palace, I always eat lunch with them."
"Mother," Emperor Ming Yan said anxiously, "How old are these two children? How can you give them the tonic soup you use?"
The Queen Mother frowned, "They are twins, born weak, so I used good things. Let them drink a few sips to replenish their bodies!"
"Mother!" Emperor Ming Yan had a thousand words to say in his heart, but he couldn't say them. In the end, he could only say helplessly: "How can they bear it? The situation of dumplings and rice cakes is serious... Mother, if these two children really have any accidents, I will no longer be able to see Yue'er."
The Queen Mother was shocked and asked, "Is it so serious?"
Emperor Ming Yan smiled bitterly and nodded: "They are only two years old! No one in the Imperial Hospital dares to treat them. Even the old doctor Su only said to give it a try, saying that it would take at least a year or two to cure them."
What! The Queen Mother was really shocked.
She just wanted to teach the two children a lesson, but never thought of taking their lives.
The Queen Mother asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Mother," Emperor Ming Yan sighed, "Yue'er didn't say anything, but I have to give her an explanation. Please give my son two people."
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed.
What he meant was that someone had to take the blame for this crime, so two people had to be killed, and these two people had to be people the Queen Mother was close to and trusted by, otherwise... there would be no way to explain it.
The Queen Mother could not help but said angrily: "Even if... they are just two juniors! I am their great-grandmother! If you touch the people around me, aren't you afraid of ruining their fortunes?"
Emperor Ming Yan was stunned for a moment.
From the Queen Mother's tone, it seems that the servants around her are much more valuable than both dumplings and rice cakes?
As a great-grandmother, how could she be so contemptuous of her own younger generation? But this was not the point. The point was, if she was so contemptuous in her heart, how could she say she liked them, and why did she repeatedly summon them to the palace?
Emperor Ming Yan had been the emperor for more than 20 years. He was wise and alert, able to see the big picture from subtle details. It had become his instinct for him to unravel the mystery from just a few words. His expression changed instantly.
