Wang Houde was taken aback when she brought up the matter.
"Eunuch Wang?" Wen Nongnong looked at him in confusion.
Wang Houde stammered, "Actually, actually, Master was poisoned by Bone-Scattering Incense once when he was a child..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong was shocked. "When I was little?"
Wang Houde nodded, sighed, but said nothing more.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, Wen Nongnong didn't press him for more information, but a faint feeling of heartache welled up in her heart.
The Bone-Scattering Incense is no ordinary potent medicine; it is far beyond the tolerance of ordinary people, let alone a child.
She couldn't imagine how he had endured the effects of the drug when he was a child, even though he was such a resolute person as Gu Linchao had to resort to self-harm.
Who on earth could be so heartless and depraved as to use this kind of medicine on a child?
Wen Nongnong grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Wang Houde breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't ask any more questions.
But when he thought of the hardships his master had endured as a child, his mood became somewhat heavy.
Upon arriving at the West Garden, Wang Houde was about to take his leave when Wen Nongnong suddenly called him back.
"By the way, Eunuch Wang, the Prince has an injury on his arm and cannot get it wet. When you are helping him bathe later, please be careful. Also, remember to make sure he eats his porridge... And also, tell him not to handle any official business tonight and to go to bed early."
Wang Houde listened respectfully, and upon hearing this, asked, "Does Your Highness have anything else to instruct this servant?"
Wen Nongnong thought for a moment and shook her head, "No."
"Alright, then this servant will take his leave now."
"Go."
Wen Nongnong thought about Gu Linchao's childhood and stood outside the door for a moment before going inside.
Back at the West Garden, Wang Houde immediately noticed the porridge on the table, still perfectly intact, while Gu Linchao was sitting at the table reading official documents.
Wang Houde quickly stepped forward, placed the porridge in front of Gu Linchao, and advised, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort just instructed me to have you eat the porridge."
Gu Linchao paused, then asked casually, "Did she say anything else?"
Wang Houde then relayed Wen Nongnong's words verbatim.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao did not say anything more, but his expression softened considerably, and he picked up the bowl of porridge.
Seeing this, Wang Houde breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the princess's words were more effective.
In the evening, after tidying up, Gu Linchao went to bed to rest.
However, the bed he had slept in for many years suddenly made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
I felt like something was missing, something was very wrong, and the girl's beautiful face kept flashing through my mind uncontrollably...
That night, Gu Linchao suffered from insomnia again.
...
The following day, at the Imperial Palace.
As usual, Imperial Physician Lin went to check on the Empress Dowager's health.
After he finished taking her pulse, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered something: Chao'er and Nong Nong had consummated their marriage some time ago, so why was there still no progress?
Thinking it over, she said to Physician Lin, "I am a little worried about the Regent's wife's health. I would like to trouble Physician Lin to make a trip to the Regent's residence to check the princess's pulse. If she is too weak, we will have to find a way to regulate her body."
Physician Lin said, "I visited the Prince's residence yesterday. I observed that the Princess Consort looked well, and there should be no major problems with her health."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager became suspicious. "Why did Physician Lin go to the Prince's residence for no reason? Is there something wrong with the Prince and Princess?"
Upon hearing this, Physician Lin immediately regretted his quick tongue.
