Chapter 190 The Prince's Sickness
Chapter 190 The Prince's Disease
Zhen'er's child was sick and came very quickly, but he didn't eat or drink, and kept making trouble. The imperial concubine did not dare to leave the eldest prince all day long. He was still a baby who couldn't speak... Even if he was not a year old, it was said that children were difficult to raise, and the sick imperial physicians of the eldest son were helpless.
"The prince is already in a weak foundation..." This is an excuse.
Wan Zhen'er was a little out of control, and she kept scolding the imperial physicians. The imperial physicians said that the child's symptoms were ugly... These people rarely contacted babies and were a little helpless.
"Go to the folk to find a doctor! Those folk children are still looking for those grass-headed doctors when they are sick..." Zhen'er said.
"No... the prescriptions of those grass-headed doctors are really suspicious... The prince has a noble status." The imperial doctors in unison stopped this matter. Empress Dowager Zhou was the first to object.
Zhen'er feels wronged.
"Zheng'er, go beg for the queen of mother..." Zhu Jianshen's idea turned out to be this, "It sounds nicer. If the queen of mother wants to say a few words, let her say a few words."
Zhen'er didn't want to do it. This woman she didn't liked at first, so she bowed her head to her. Wouldn't she be humiliated by herself? She just wanted to find an opportunity to target her. Although the child's illness could not be delayed, there were many ways, so it was okay to secretly carry the child out for diagnosis and treatment. As long as the emperor didn't say it, the people below would not mention it...especially the few palace ladies who served the little prince.
"Madam Xiang..." Zhen'er came over, and she told her thoughts to the lady who took care of the prince.
"It's okay if the Empress doesn't go. I've taken the prince out to see it a long time ago. Those doctors are really helpless. I've only been asking for the heavens these two days. The Empress may be able to survive..."
There is really nothing I can do... Zhen'er is unwilling to give up... This Caotai doctor still seems to be a little capable. The child seems to be better and can get breastfeeding.
"The doctor will have to give the prince an injection tomorrow, but we will carry the prince out... He said that this disease cannot be cured in one day, and it may be food accumulation..."
Can you get out? Zhen'er felt upset. If the Empress Dowager Zhou knew about this, she would not have spared Xiang Ling'er.
"It's okay, Empress, the prince is the queen mother's grandson, who will harm her own grandson... Besides, the doctor is still a little capable... Don't worry, I'm sure... Just go back to Zhaode Palace to rest..."
Of course, Xiang Ling'er comforted Concubine Wan. It was a good thing for this child to eat and drink. Wan Zhen'er was tired, so she was reluctant to leave the child... she only hoped for good news.
After waking up... Zhen'er wanted to see her son, so she called the palace maid to ask Mrs. Xiang to come with the child...
"Empress, Mrs. Xiang is not here, and she said she has something to go out. The prince seemed to have followed her, saying she was going to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager."
"When is it?" Zhen'er asked.
The palace maid looked away and said, "Empress, you have been sleeping for a long time, for some reason... it's already evening."
I really can't stand it anymore. I was thinking in my heart, how could I sleep so hard? There was a scent in the air...
"What's the smell?"
"It was the emperor who gave special instructions that the empress had not had a good rest recently, so she let the empress sleep better and gave it this incense, which is said to help sleep."
It was sent by the emperor... Zhen'er shouldn't have any questions, but after sleeping for a long time, she always feels that it is not the effect of fragrance. Maybe the tea before going to bed... there is something to calm the mind and help sleep, but the tea was made by Eunuch Lu around her himself. He is for his own good.
"Wait for a while..." Zhen'er said helplessly, but after a while, it became dark again. According to the rules, the prince did not live with him. But this was not the most difficult, because the lock was not a troublesome thing for Zhen'er, but his son's disease. Xiang Ling'er must have taken his son out for treatment...
Walking back and forth... the eunuchs and maids in the palace were a little worried. The concubine rarely restlessly like this.
"Empress...Madam Xiang invites you over..." The palace maid comes in to report.
"She is back..." Zhen'er was a little anxious... Seeing that the time was not yet locked, she quickly put on a piece of clothes and walked out.
The cold air was already cold in Beijing in November, and from the warm room to the outside, it was inevitable that it would be cold. Zhen'er thought of her son, but why didn't she think about how cold he was when he went out for a doctor?
The prince's residence is not in the palace where the concubine lives... That's because Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't like to let Concubine Wan raise the child. She said that the emperor was also raised by the palace servant in the East Palace, so the eldest prince should not be taken by the biological mother, so that the child would not rely too much on his mother in the future and would have no opinion. What's too much dependence... She just doesn't want the eldest prince to be taken away by Zhen'er... She has always had resentment towards Zhen'er, and the emperor did not associate with her, so she blamed Zhen'er. For the two mothers, the emperor tried to treat the ministers as equals. Zhu Jianshen thought about the attitude of the ministers, and Empress Dowager Zhou was always dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Qian. How did the emperor's legitimate mother look like her and had no son, but the emperor always regarded her as respected. This matter of Empress Wu made her finally be in front of her son.
After gaining face, the son wanted to beat Wan Zhen'er because Empress Wu beat Wan Zhen'er, and he used this Wan Zhen'er to add fuel to the fire, so that Empress Wu, whom Empress Qian liked, was coldly treated by the emperor's son, and even wanted to depose the empress. She supported the emperor at that time, and the Queen Mother Qian really wanted the emperor to consider not deposed the empress. The emperor's son was naturally dissatisfied with Empress Qian. But he didn't expect that Wan Zhen'er seemed willing to accompany his son, and he didn't expect that Wan Zhen'er gave birth to the eldest son. This was what she never expected. The emperor only likes Wan Zhen'er, but the girl Bai Fei, she chose, had no chance... What's wrong? An old palace man of the same age as her can actually be his daughter-in-law... What's more, for this woman, the emperor doesn't accompany other women...
"Sister Empress Dowager..." Concubine Wan Chen came, "What you want me to do has been done... The prince has been sick all the time..."
"But the minor illness... has recovered now... Mrs. Xiang has brought the prince to meet the Ai family..." said Empress Dowager Zhou.
"The emperor would also worry that his offspring was weak, so the Bai family would naturally have a chance..." said Concubine Wan Chen, "Sister... you don't like that Wan Zhen'er, so I... There are so many women in the harem, and the emperor has a chance... It's just that the eldest son gave her a baby. It's a pity... Her son is still innately deficient... I'm afraid it will endanger the Ming Dynasty in the future..."
"Then Emperor Taizu made a rule. Didn't the grandfather who had seen Shen then ascend to the throne even if he was sick? What's the solution for the Ai family?" said Empress Dowager Zhou.
"Of course my sister is kind-hearted, and the evil one is the sister... As long as my sister doesn't mind... In fact, God will help my sister, but that Mrs. Xiang is really hateful and doesn't take her sister seriously. I heard that she secretly took the child out of the palace for treatment... If you punish such people, I'm afraid that all the slaves will take their own actions."
"Does Xiang Ling'er have to be replaced? She has put a lot of effort into the prince..." said Empress Dowager Zhou.
"Sister is so kind... This is just a warning to her, let her leave the prince for a few days. In the future, the Empress Dowager can be a good person and call her back to continue taking care of the prince..." said Concubine Wan Chen, "I don't want to be a villain either... But you, Empress Dowager, are so easy to talk to, so the Empress Dowager is still suppressing you..."
Speaking of Empress Dowager Qian, Empress Dowager Zhou is worse than being slandered. Ministers always regard her as a respectful person. As long as she is willing to say a word, those people will be treated like imperial edicts.
