Mo Yi spoke hastily, recognizing it as the carriage of Eunuch Su, who served His Majesty.
After a few moments of silence, Qin Zhaoyue suddenly snapped back to her senses and sprang up.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get ready to remove all of these!"
The crowd immediately erupted into chaos.
Fortunately, the members of the Mo group cooperated well, clearing away the plates, directing the musicians and performers to leave the stage, and even using their inner energy to dispel the decadent smell.
Qin Zhaoyue took off running at lightning speed!
The Mo group managed to catch up, but it was tough on the two head maids.
Tao Yao was alright, at least she accompanied them for half the disaster relief effort, while Ying Nuo was out of breath from running.
After passing through the inner courtyard from the main hall, one enters the sleeping quarters.
As soon as she returned to the manor, Tao Yao ordered that more hot water be boiled, knowing that her prince was clean and would probably want to take a bath immediately.
However, after Qin Zhaoyue returned, she was only focused on eating, drinking, and having fun, and didn't mention this matter.
The maids guarding the entrance to Yulan Hall only saw a gust of wind howl by before the prince disappeared without even having time to bow.
Qin Zhaoyue rushed into the bedchamber, "Quickly, change your clothes! Oh, and rinse your mouth too!"
After traveling for more than ten days, she naturally wanted to take a nice, relaxing bath.
They kept her in her original state just in case, considering that the palace might not let her go. And they were right.
The Mo group, who were used to serving others, quickly got to work. If they didn't know where something was, they would grab a maid and ask her.
"Your Highness, how about changing into this outfit? It looks more understated."
"Okay, this outfit is fine."
"Should I apply some pearl powder to make my skin look paler?"
"Stop with the nonsense. Does that old eunuch Su Quan not recognize cosmetics? Too much of a good thing is bad."
I don't know what's wrong with the palace eunuchs. They love to use heavy materials in the middle of summer. It's understandable to cover up the smell, but it's puzzling that they put powder on their faces.
Their faces were so pale, like they'd been dead for days.
If she were to apply pearl powder to her face, it would surely not escape Su Quan's notice, so it would be better not to use it at all and to go bare-faced.
Fortunately, Qin Zhaoyue had taken precautions and hadn't drunk any alcohol, otherwise the smell of alcohol wouldn't have been able to be hidden. After rinsing her mouth several times to clear the smell, she immediately lay down on the bed to prepare herself.
Before long, Tao Yao and Ying Nuo arrived in a hurry.
They quickly straightened their clothes and waited for things to calm down before rehearsing their lines with His Highness.
The movements were practiced skillfully, clearly indicating that this was not a one-time occurrence.
Two carriages stopped at the entrance of the princess's residence. Mo Yi had already returned and was waiting there. He found that it was indeed Eunuch Su, who served His Majesty.
But the next moment, she gasped: Oh no... it was this guy who came.
As Mo Yi watched the head of the Imperial Medical Academy disembark from the carriage, his heart sank.
"Eunuch Su, Physician Liao."
Mo Yi bowed respectfully and led the way.
"My lord, please hurry, His Majesty is waiting for this old servant's reply."
Su Quan usually traveled by sedan chair when leaving the palace, and only used a horse-drawn carriage in emergencies.
Having spent so much time by His Majesty's side, he could roughly gauge His Majesty's mood from the tone of his commands.
The Sixth Princess's condition is not good. Now we can only hope that she is truly unwell.
Mo Yi sighed inwardly. She deliberately slowed down her pace, wanting to buy more time for the backyard.
Now that Eunuch Su has seen through my plan, I dare not delay any longer, and I don't know if I have made any preparations for what's to come.
The journey was smooth and unimpeded, and we entered the fifth-courtyard sleeping quarters without any obstacles.
In principle, outsiders were not allowed to enter, but since one of them was a eunuch and the other a physician, they did not have any such taboos.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Su has arrived."
Just in case, Su Quan entered the room first and saw the Sixth Prince lying on the bed covered with a thin blanket before calling the others in.
"Eunuch Su is here... help me up..."
Qin Zhaoyue lowered her eyes slightly, her brows furrowed, and spoke softly.
Su Quan stared at her after she entered the room. She was without makeup, but her complexion looked alright.
"Your Highness, please don't rush, lie down and rest."
His Majesty heard that you were unwell and sent Liao, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, to examine you.
I specifically instructed them that the cause of the illness must be diagnosed; we cannot allow any lingering problems to develop.
The words "Director of the Imperial Academy" were pronounced a little too forcefully, and with the following sentence, it was unclear whether the Sixth Prince could understand them.
For no other reason than that it was such a joyous occasion for a victorious general to return home in triumph, and he didn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial moment.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just have a bit of a headache and don't want to delay everyone's important business."
Qin Zhaoyue had already prepared a plan for the illness; headaches can have all sorts of strange causes.
If you went to the hospital in your past life, you'd have to get blood tests, CT scans, and MRIs, and you might spend thousands of dollars and still not hear a sound.
After a cursory examination, the final diagnosis was: tension headache; go home and take a one-dollar painkiller.
Liao Yuanzheng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a jolt, having already heard about His Majesty's instructions before coming.
Being a royal physician requires not only medical skills, but also good interpersonal relationships.
The medical records of nobles in the palace are all confidential and cannot be easily revealed.
Sometimes, even if the pulse doesn't seem abnormal, one still has to say something, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the important person.
Since people eat grains and other foods, they will inevitably have some health issues to some extent. Prescribing some mild and nourishing herbal soups is always a safe bet.
But His Majesty's words made it clear that this time they absolutely could not be fooled, and the symptom was a headache... Liao Yuanzheng felt that his headache had already begun to appear.
Mo Er was perceptive and placed an embroidered stool by the bedside.
Liao, the Imperial Physician, bowed respectfully. "Your Highness, would it be possible to omit the handkerchief? The pulse diagnosis would be more accurate that way."
He was mentally prepared for a tough battle and was determined to find a plausible reason.
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."
