Chapter 281 Entering the Palace Together

After waking up, everything was empty.

The queen held her head and cried, gasping for breath.

Xiao Tan, who was on night watch, heard the noise and rushed in to comfort them, but it was no use.

The queen cried until she could no longer control her emotions. Her whole body was shaking and her throat could not make any sound. Only then did she stop.

"My prince... my prince..."

The queen called out a few times with sobs, then got out of bed.

She was shoeless, it was a dark and windy night, and she didn't even wear a cloak. She came to the bedroom where her two princes once lived.

Xiao Tan chased after her with clothes and shoes, but was locked outside the queen's bedroom.

The queen was alone, looking at her chamber.

Nothing in the bedroom has changed and remains the same as before.

But the sounds of children laughing, crying and chattering are gone.

It's eerily quiet here, and a bit chilly.

The queen was not in good health and was not suitable to come here, but she came anyway.

She also easily found the toys that the two princes had played with when they were young, hugged them and started crying.

She cried for a long time, and even though she could no longer make any sound, she was still crying.

She cried until she fainted and was motionless.

Xiao Tan and his men broke down the door and brought her back.

The queen fell ill after returning home, and she was very ill. Jiujiu watched her drink a lot of medicine, but it was of no use.

The queen's spirit, which had finally been lifted up by the dream, collapsed once again.

Jiujiu has been feeling irritable every day recently.

Doctor Qing told Jiujiu to persuade the Queen more and relax a little, and the pain would naturally go away.

Jiujiu tried to persuade him, but it was no use.

Some things can't be figured out just by thinking them through.

The queen's appetite became worse and worse, and she couldn't eat anything. She couldn't sleep at night, and she kept talking nonsense and crying all night.

Everyone in the palace was in a panic, and everyone thought that the Queen was in trouble again.

"It's been half a month, and the Queen hasn't even gotten out of bed. Could it be..."

"Be careful with your words."

"The Queen is not someone we can discuss. Just do what you need to do."

After hearing this, everyone dispersed in a hurry.

The one who had just spoken, looking at the backs of the people leaving, muttered quietly: "If there really is a national mourning, everyone will know about it."

In the midst of a busy schedule, Jiujiu asked for leave and left the palace.

It has been half a month since the last appointment with Da Zhuang, Xia Xiao Yun and others. It is time for them to meet.

Jiujiu came to the place where Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun used to set up their stall.

Sure enough, Jiujiu saw the two people again.

The two men are still selling animal skins and their business is good.

Seeing Jiujiu coming, Dazhuang took out a basket of red dates with a smile and handed it to Jiujiu.

"Jiujiu, I promised to bring you some red dates. They are very sweet. Would you like to try them?"

"Okay, try it."

Jiujiu didn’t like eating dates very much, but she didn’t want to offend Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun, so she tasted a red date lightly, and then... she stared blankly at the date in her hand with her eyes wide open in confusion.

Were the dates she ate before fake?

There was no sweetness that Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun brought her, so she didn't like eating dates.

At this moment, Jiujiu ate several dates in a row as if he had discovered a new continent.

"These dates are so sweet and fresh." If I bring them to my mother, she will definitely eat a few.

Jiujiu accepted all the dates.

"By the way, Brother Dazhuang, is your head still hurting?" Jiujiu was still thinking about this matter.

"It still hurts." Da Zhuang sighed deeply and said, "This time I came to the city, in addition to selling animal skins, I also planned to find a doctor to see."

Recently, Da Zhuang's headaches have become more and more frequent, and the pain has become more and more unbearable.

He should see a doctor and shouldn't delay any longer.

Otherwise, if he got seriously ill, how would Xia Xiaoyun live as a woman? And how would the unborn child in Xia Xiaoyun's belly live?

When Da Zhuang thought of this, he became worried.

"Come with me to the palace?" Jiujiu said, "There is a doctor in the Imperial Hospital with superb medical skills. He will definitely be able to cure you."

"This..." Da Zhuang didn't want to trouble Jiujiu. He just wanted to find a doctor to check it out. Jiujiu had already helped him a lot, but he couldn't do anything for Jiujiu. He felt unworthy.

"You are not allowed to refuse." Jiujiu said, looking at Xia Xiaoyun's belly which had grown a little bigger. "Consider it my gift to the baby in Sister Xia's belly." Give him a healthy father.

"This..." If he refused again, it would be ungrateful and pretentious.

"Okay." Da Zhuang did not refuse. "I will go to the palace with you, but Xiaoyun." He couldn't leave Xia Xiaoyun here.

Jiujiu naturally understood, and said, "Sister Xia is naturally together."

"Go in and ask the imperial physician to check Sister Xia's pulse to see if the fetus is healthy."

"Thank you, little princess."

Da Zhuang and Xia Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with tears.

What good things did they do in their previous lives to meet such a kind person who always saves them from the sufferings of the world?

The two men were ready to enter the palace with Jiujiu, but they had to sell the animal skins they had first.

Fortunately, their animal skins are very popular. Even though there was no lantern festival and even though it was daytime, the flow of people was not large. Jiujiu waited for about half an hour and they were all sold out.

Jiujiu brought the two of them into the palace.

When the guards in the palace learned that Da Zhuang and Xia Xiaoyun were Jiujiu's good friends, they did not dare to stop them. They asked Da Zhuang and Xia Xiaoyun's names and where their registered residence was, and then let them go.

Jiujiu brought Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun to the Imperial Hospital smoothly.

When the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau saw Da Zhuang, they all felt that he looked familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before, but they really couldn't remember where.

Where have you seen it before?

I can't remember.

Forget it, don’t think about it, it’s a waste of brain.

Jiujiu took Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun to find Doctor Qing.

"Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing..."

"Jiujiu wants to see you."

Jiujiu jumped towards Doctor Qing.

Aunt Qing?

The imperial physician is a woman?

Or the little princess's aunt? Or the eldest aunt?

Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun looked puzzled.

Doctor Qing looked at Jiujiu with a smile, "Little Princess, what's the matter?"

Jiujiu pointed at Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun behind her and said, "Please help me with the treatment."

"Okay." Doctor Qing looked at Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun, "Who of you is sick?"

Da Zhuang said: "I, I always have a headache."

"And this Sister Xia, Aunt Qing, please also help take her pulse and see if the baby in her belly is healthy."

"You little girl." Doctor Qing seemed to be helpless with Jiujiu. He shook his head and said, "You are quite good at finding trouble for Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing was taking a day off this afternoon and wanted to take Goudan out to play."

"Aunt Qing, let's do it tomorrow. You can take a rest tomorrow. Jiujiu will go and tell the emperor right away. He will definitely agree."

"Okay, okay." Qingzi agreed.

"Then Aunt Qing, Jiujiu will go find the emperor right away. You take a good look at Brother Dazhuang and Sister Xia, and then wait for Jiujiu to come back."
