Feng Feng, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a "bang." Before he could see what was happening, Sanhezi grabbed his hand and pulled him outside.
By the time Feng Feng clearly saw who was pulling him, they had already left the sleeping room.
"Third Eunuch, what are you doing?"
"Brother Feng, quickly come with me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Upon hearing that they were going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Feng also became anxious. "Third Eunuch, wait for me!"
After saying that, he broke free from Sanhezi's hand.
"What are you doing? His Majesty is urgently looking for you."
Sanhezi, who was standing still, saw Feng Feng run back into the house, so he stepped forward and followed.
"I need to get the first-aid kit, and I'll also grab a coat while I'm at it."
"What time is it and you still need to get your clothes?"
Sanhezi said this, but while Feng Feng was getting the medicine box, Sanhezi grabbed a piece of clothing and pulled Feng Feng outside.
The two hadn't run far when, "Give the medicine box to the servant."
"No, Third Uncle, what if you break the things inside?"
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it. Hurry up and put your clothes on."
After speaking, Sanhezi immediately snatched the medicine box, threw his clothes at Feng Feng's head, and continued running towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Jue sat anxiously by the bedside, looking at Xiao Xi'er, trying to wake her up by shaking her, but nothing worked.
Qin Jue touched Xiao Xi'er's forehead to check her temperature and found it was getting higher and higher. He then ordered three men to bring her a basin of cold water.
Qin Jue soaked a towel in cold water, wrung out most of the water, and then placed the towel on Xiao Xi'er's forehead.
Unless you look closely, you wouldn't even notice the slight tremor in Qin Jue's hands as he wrung the towel.
Just as Qin Jue was starting to get impatient with why Feng Feng hadn't arrived yet, he saw Sanhezi stumble in with Feng Feng.
At this moment, Qin Jue became increasingly worried upon seeing Xiao Xi'er on the bed, and personally carried Feng Feng to the dragon bed.
Let Feng Feng take Xiao Xi'er's pulse.
Feng Feng was still in shock at being mentioned by His Majesty when he arrived at the dragon bed.
Hearing Qin Jue's slightly trembling voice
"You...you must quickly check on the princess! She's trembling, her forehead is burning hot, and she won't wake up."
After pulling Xiao Xi'er's hand out, Feng Feng placed a thin gauze scarf over her wrist and then put his fingers on her wrist to take her pulse.
"Your Majesty, has the princess ever been unable to be woken up at night?"
"No, what's wrong with the princess?"
"Your Majesty, I am taking your pulse."
At this moment, Qin Jue really wanted to curse Feng Feng, but considering that Feng Feng was currently taking Xiao Xi'er's pulse and treating her illness, he forcibly held back.
Feng Feng, who hadn't been taking her pulse, stood up again, used his hand to pry open Xiao Xi'er's eyelids, and observed her pupils.
He then sat down to continue taking the pulse.
This made Qin Jue extremely anxious; he was almost about to yell "useless thing!"
Finally, Feng Feng finished taking the pulse, and Qin Jue couldn't wait to ask, "How is the princess?"
"Your Majesty, the princess's high fever is caused by excessive exposure to cold."
"What if they are unconscious?"
"This... according to my observation, it's because the princess already had a persistent high fever, coupled with nightmares. I'll prescribe some medicine for her to take for three days, and she'll be fine."
"Then why aren't you going to get the medicine? What are you dawdling about here for? Are you going to take responsibility if you delay the princess from taking her medicine?"
"This humble subject..."
"Get out of here!"
Feng Feng, feeling wronged after being scolded, said, "Isn't Your Majesty asking me to stay and inquire about the princess's condition? Otherwise, I would have already gone to prescribe and prepare the medicine."
After taking a few steps, Feng Feng remembered something and turned to Qin Jue, saying, "Your Majesty, the princess has a high fever. We need to apply a cold or ice-cold towel to her forehead to lower her temperature."
"Why aren't you getting up there and brewing the medicine? Do you think I'm stupid? Do I need you to tell me?"
Having been scolded again, Feng Feng left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a knowing look on his face, but saying nothing.
Sanhezi, however, stood inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, inwardly criticizing Qin Jue.
Your Majesty, even if you scold people, you can't hide the fact that you're worried about the princess.
How many years has it been since I've seen His Majesty so worried about someone?
The last time I saw you, I was just an insignificant little eunuch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Before Sanhezi could continue thinking, he heard a cold voice from above.
"Sanhezi, what are you standing there for? Go get some cold water!"
"If you don't want to do this job anymore, go clean the palace toilets."
"Your Majesty, this servant will go immediately."
Sanhezi ran out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation without stopping, fearing that Qin Jue would really throw him into cleaning the palace toilets.
Even as Sanhezi ran below, he didn't forget to send his godson Sanshu to the imperial kitchen to fetch the ice from Shitian.
After the cold water arrived, Xia Ju was about to soak a towel in the cold water and apply it to Xiao Xi'er's forehead. Just as Xia Ju was about to pick up the towel, she was stopped.
"You may leave. I will handle this myself."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chunhe and Xiaju exchanged a glance and then left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After Qin Jue finished performing a series of actions, he placed the towel on Xiao Xi'er's forehead.
He sat by the bed, looking at Xiao Xi'er with a mixture of heartache and worry. As he looked, Qin Jue became lost in thought.

"Quickly, show her."
"Fourth Prince, Miss Xiao fainted because her wounds became infected."
"Why aren't you prescribing the medicine yet? Do you want me, the prince, to teach you how to prescribe medicine?"
At this time, Feng Feng was still a junior imperial physician and dared not say anything. After all, the fourth prince had begun to rise to prominence in the past two years, and people in the palace said that he was unpredictable and violent.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will go immediately."
Feng Feng dared not utter a single complaint and immediately went to dispense the medicine.
