Another prince of the harem, Shang, had the good fortune to meet the grace of heaven;
Grandmother Sif reminisced about the old capital, and the Emperor's Attendant offered a sacrifice to Shengjing.
This morning, Rong'er brought a small cloth that she had made for Cheng Ao to the empress's East Warm Pavilion. The empress was very fond of it and praised Rong'er's ingenuity, but just as the empress and Rong'er were about to try on Lu'er's clothes, Wang Jingzhi suddenly ran in and said in a low voice, ”Reporting to my master, the news from the Zhongzhi Palace said that the third prince was not only hot but also coughing and gasping for breath. The imperial physician went to see the empress.”
”What?” How could this be? ” the queen asked anxiously.
”This servant doesn't know. That's how they notified us.” Wang Jingzhi anxiously replied.
”Quick, Rong'er, accompany me to take a look.” The empress said, told the nurse to take care of Cheng, and took Rong to the palace.
Arriving at the Eastern Warm Pavilion, he saw Cheng Qing lying on the warm pit with a blanket over his head. His face was pale, his lips were blue, and he was crying uncontrollably. There were two imperial doctors still in the midst of treatment, and Sir Hui was sitting by the edge of the pit and watching Cheng Qing cry non-stop.
The empress didn't allow them to bow in greeting, but instead asked the imperial physician, ”Imperial Physician, how is the prince's illness?”
One of the imperial doctors hurriedly replied, ”I have seen it, the prince should close his lungs and cough, treating the wind, removing phlegm to relieve asthma, clearing away heat and detoxifying the poison, and relieving thirst. ”Use Mai Xing Shi Gan Tang Yin Hua, Forsythia, Scutellaria, indigowoad root, Houttuynia and other medicine to fry your uniform...”
The empress didn't wait for the imperial physician to finish before asking anxiously, ”I only ask you, how long will it take for the prince to recover?”
”This …” The imperial physician hesitated and said, ”Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but this illness is a serious illness and is extremely difficult to treat. This subject and the others can only do their best.”
When he heard the imperial physician's words, he felt even more tearful.
”What?” The empress frowned and said harshly, ”I've ordered all of you to treat him seriously. If anything happens to him, none of you will be able to get away with it.”
”We will do our best to treat them.” The two imperial doctors hurriedly kneeled and replied.
At this moment, Xuan Ye came over and looked at the bed. Cheng Qing and the two imperial doctors knelt on the ground, puzzled. The empress immediately explained, ”Your majesty, the imperial doctors say Qing'er's illness is life-threatening. Your consort ordered them to treat the prince no matter what.”
At this moment, noble Wei's teary face dropped to his knees before the emperor. ”Your Majesty, chenqie begs you. No matter what, you have to save Qing'er. chenqie begs you …” As he spoke, he kowtowed to Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye hurriedly helped him up and said softly, ”Hui Jie, don't be like this. Qing'er is my child. How can I not save him?” Noble people usually spoke very little, and it was hard for them to determine whether they were happy or angry. However, today, it could be seen that they were extremely grieved.
With that, he looked at the imperial physician and ordered, ”Cheng Qing must not have any mishaps.”
The two royal doctors who were still kneeling immediately replied: ”We will do our best.”
As she looked at Qing'er's pale face, she thought of Cheng Rui and couldn't help but want to cry. The pain of losing Rui was deeply engraved in her memory. Now that she saw Qing'er like this, she truly hoped that the heavens would open her eyes and not let the emperor lose this child again.
Xuan Ye walked up to Rong'er and gently stroked his chest. While stroking his pale face, he murmured, ”Qing'er, you have to be strong. You have to survive. Huang Ah Ma can't help but lose another son.”
Seeing this, Rong'er couldn't help but tear up as he turned around.
