"Your Majesty's body seems to be a little weak and out of balance..." Xu Mingyi said after consideration: "It happens that the maid in my house who knows medicine is also very good at conditioning. Why not ask her to write a prescription and give it to the imperial doctors.
Take a look? If the imperial doctors think it is useful, I might give it a try."
As for what the cause was, she couldn't be sure at the moment. To be cautious, she couldn't speculate at this time.
If the empress can agree to use her prescription, she will have the opportunity to continue to pay attention to it in the future. Combined with the effect of the medicine and a few more diagnoses, she will be able to diagnose the cause.
This weakness is not accumulated in a short period of time, and similarly, it will not really endanger life in a short period of time.
So anomalies are anomalies, so there’s no need to worry.
The Queen nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, if you're interested, just try as you say."
She was weak and had an old problem. She had been trying to treat it, but there was not much improvement.
If possible, she would naturally want to take better care of her body.
After all, she still has important things to do.
Seeing that she had agreed, Xu Mingyi felt relieved, and then continued: "The so-called conditioning means that besides taking medicine, you also need to relax your mind. Are you worried about His Highness the Crown Prince recently?"
The Queen sighed noncommittally.
"Sheng'er grew up under my watch. He is a good boy."
Those complimentary words from outside, such as 'The Queen is kind and treats His Highness the Crown Prince as if she were her own child', are naturally exaggerated, but looking at the children who have grown up, how can they not be emotionless.
The matter of the prince falling into the water seemed to have been "solved", but she had no definite answer to what the truth was.
But no matter who is planning what, Sheng'er is the most innocent one.
Xu Mingyi seemed to hesitate and think for a moment after hearing this.
Then he looked at the Queen and asked softly: "I wonder if I can go and see His Royal Highness?"
The girl's eyes were a little cautious.
The queen's heart softened when she saw this.
She couldn't be said to be a soft-hearted person, but the identity of the little girl in front of her made her unconsciously want to be soft-hearted.
This little girl probably didn't know that he had hugged her when she was a few months old.
Of course, many people don't know.
That year, Xu Yun just got this little niece. It was the first little baby of Zhen Guo Gong. He was so rare that he secretly carried her to the back door of Zhen Guo Gong's house to show off to her and said that the baby was beautiful.
Exquisite like his second uncle.
She expected that the other party was showing off, so that day she also brought along her little nephew A Yuan who had just entered Beijing, who was not yet two years old——
A Yuan was bigger after all. Although he was a boy, he was also pink and tender, and his eyebrows were wider. That time he did not embarrass her aunt.
But that girl doll also made her very jealous, because after all, she didn't have a girl doll at home.
She still remembered that Xu Jin, who secretly carried the child out, was scolded by Old General Xu...
Thinking about these past events, the queen couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
However, she soon regained her composure, and after rejecting the irrelevant palace maids and eunuchs, she spoke to Xu Mingyi: "Miss Xu saved His Highness's life, so I have no intention of hiding it from Miss Xu. His Highness's fever is not going away now..."
It’s not a good time to see people.”
However, Sheng'er's body was still very weak, so the imperial doctors were very cautious even when using medicine.
She went to see them several times and asked the doctors how dangerous they were. A very experienced doctor dared to tell the truth. Even though it was euphemistic, she generally understood it - so far, it was just a matter of time.
We can see Sheng'er's own destiny...
"The fever won't go away?"
Xu Mingyi seemed quite surprised, then thought for a moment and said: "My Lady, the girl I brought into the palace today is the girl who knows medicine. Why don't you ask her to give His Highness a diagnosis?"
"this……"
The queen obviously hesitated.
"Don't worry, Madam, no matter what the outcome is today, I will not reveal even a word about the situation in the East Palace."
The prince is the crown prince of a country, and any disturbance in the East Palace will affect the court. The palace obviously intends to keep it a secret for the time being, so even her grandfather still doesn't know what is going on.
She also understood the Queen's concerns.
But she still wanted to try to save people to the end.
Or it can be said that she is too stubborn and still has selfish motives - if the prince survives, there may be a chance to find out the truth.
"Your Majesty, because you are eager to save His Highness, you accompany me to fool around. Your Majesty will certainly understand." Xu Mingyi looked serious and sincere: "Just let me give it a try. She has always been cautious, so she takes it seriously.
Even if I can't do anything, I won't be able to harm His Highness's body."
The Queen smiled helplessly.
"You kid...are you still thinking about leaving a way out for me?"
Whatever.
At least this girl was right, she wanted to save Sheng'er.
It really can't be saved, as this girl said, at least it won't make the situation worse.
As for the Emperor’s side——
This little thing is not something she can't handle.
She was even asked to say that the prince's life or death was uncertain. At this time, he should no longer hide it. He should seek out famous doctors and try his best even if it was just folk remedies. The most important thing was to save the child——
But the emperor just wants to be the emperor, not a father.
There is even a hint of not wanting to be a human being.
She had stayed in the palace for a long time, and felt that she was at a loss in many places, and she gradually became somewhat assimilated.
But she was reluctant in her heart and disliked herself.
The little girl in front of her seemed to be giving her a push, telling her to do what she really wanted to do, even if it might be trivial.
The queen ordered the palace servants to bring over Akui who was waiting outside the inner palace gate.
Xu Mingyi took Akui and followed the Queen's phoenix chariot to the East Palace.
Two imperial doctors were waiting in the inner hall. They exchanged glances secretly after listening to the nun beside the queen explaining the identity and purpose of Xu Mingyi's master and servant.
Although the two of them had doubts about A Kui's medical skills, the Crown Prince was in a critical condition and the Queen had brought him there, so they couldn't say anything.
Seeing the two imperial doctors retreating, Akui's hands covered with cold sweat trembled.
Not to mention others, even she herself has doubts about her medical skills...
But she dare not forget what the girl told her.
Akui tried her best to check the prince's pulse as calmly as possible, and then asked the eunuch to bring him a cold water handkerchief, a silver needle and other items.
After everything was prepared, several eunuchs retreated to guard outside the screen, leaving only Xu Mingyi, master and servant, in front of the bed.
The thin boy on the bed had his eyes closed tightly, his brows furrowed, and he occasionally uttered inarticulate whispers. Even his body occasionally trembled and twitched uneasily, looking painful and uneasy.
"Father..."
"The royal concubine..."
The boy murmured, frowning more and more tightly, and even began to grasp the thin blanket tightly with both hands.
Xu Mingyi, who had excellent hearing, sighed softly, leaned forward slightly, and patted the boy's body comfortingly.
However, being so close, clearer whispers reached her ears.
