Chapter 25 Schadenfreude
He glanced down at Xiao Nuomi's extremely pale cheeks, and his heart was about to twitch into a ball.

"Why hasn't Little Nuomi woke up?"

Ji Luoyu's voice sounded from beside him, he looked extremely tired, his eyes were covered with bruises, he must have had trouble sleeping last night again.

"The princess has a high fever, and the imperial doctor said that the temperature must be lowered as soon as possible to save her life."

He pursed his lips tightly and looked at his younger sister lying on the bed without saying a word. She was usually lively and lovely, but today she encountered such a catastrophe.

He hated himself for not finding out sooner.

Ji Luoyu reached out to touch Xiao Nuomi's forehead, it was very hot.

Ji Luoyu looked up at him, "You said... Little Nuomi will be fine?"

He was actually very scared, his sister was only three years old.

Xiao Nuomi kept talking nonsense, although she didn't cry as much as before, but she still didn't wake up.

High fever persists for a long time.

"Don't worry, Xiao Nuomi will be fine,"

Nan Yimo gently comforted her. In fact, Xiao Nuomi fell into the water seriously this time. Fortunately, Nan Yimo reacted quickly enough to fish her out of the water, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ji Luoyu bowed his head and said nothing, he didn't know what to do, even Nan Yimo wasn't sure if Xiao Nuomi would be safe, so he could only pray that Xiao Nuomi would survive.

After waiting for half a day, Nan Yimo didn't see any sign of Xiao Nuomi waking up.

The queen stayed by the bed all the time, eyes full of exhaustion, watching her unconscious daughter feel distressed and nearly suffocate.

She absolutely didn't believe it was a coincidence, Xiao Nuomi grew up in rich clothes and fine food, and had never encountered such a dangerous situation.

She will never let this matter go!

The imperial physician once again diagnosed and treated Xiao Nuomi, still shaking his head,
"Princess's pulse condition is weak, and the cold evil has invaded her body. The cold air must be exorcised before she can recover, otherwise... I'm afraid..."

Ji Luoyu, who had always been calm, slammed his fist on the table when he heard the words, he gritted his teeth, "Father! No matter who is involved in this matter, you must seek justice for Xiao Nuomi!"

"I understand, don't worry, I will not lightly spare the murderer behind the scenes!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left. The queen sighed and looked at Xiao Nuomi with distress, "Don't panic, Xiao Nuomi will be fine."

Saying so, the mood is extremely low.

"Ok!"

Nan Yimo followed beside the emperor. The emperor's face was ashen, and his whole body was filled with a strong murderous aura.

The fourth prince stayed in his study room. He heard that his little sister fell into the water. He didn't know if he was rescued now. If such a small child choked on water, it would be very difficult to save him.

The fourth prince stood by the window looking at the night outside in a daze.

"Your Highness, are you still worried about the princess?" A female voice came from behind.

"Well. Do you think she'll survive this disaster?"

The fourth prince turned his head and asked Zijuan, the maid behind him. In fact, he also knew that if he fell into the water in such a big weather, he might not be able to survive even if he was rescued.

"The princess has a lot of blessings, and this servant believes that the princess is auspicious and has a natural appearance, so she will definitely be able to return to the palace safe and sound!"

Hearing Zicuckoo's words, the fourth prince sighed softly, and turned to look at the woman behind him.

"Your Highness..." The woman hesitated to speak, with a little worry in her eyes.

"Do you want to ask why this prince pays so much attention to that little girl?" The fourth prince asked back with a faint smile.

"Slaves don't dare!" the woman replied with her head lowered.

"You don't have to hide it from my prince, you are my personal maid, and I know best what to do on weekdays." The fourth prince approached the woman, holding her shoulders with both hands.

The woman looked up at him.

"You are not allowed to tell Concubine Mother about this, you know!"

"Slaves understand!"

"You should know how to choose, and it won't spoil the prince's good deeds!"

"Slaves don't dare!" The woman quickly knelt on the ground.

"Remember what my prince said, if this prince finds out that you dare to disclose this matter to anyone, this prince will never forgive you!"

The woman nodded, expressing her understanding. She has followed the fourth prince for many years and knows when to say something.

"Okay, my prince is tired, go and make me a cup of hot tea and bring it in."

"Yes!"

The woman stepped back from the desk to pour tea.

The fourth prince looked in the direction of the window with complicated emotions.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess An Le fell into the water."

Concubine Jia was leaning on the couch and flipping through the books, she was secretly happy when she heard this.

"I heard that the princess was pushed into the water. It's unbelievable that such a young child can be so vicious!"

"She has been doted on and spoiled all these years, and her personality has long since become weird and tricky. No wonder she will suffer retribution!"

Concubine Jia waved her hand, "Don't say such things, lest someone listen to you!"

"Yes, madam!"

"Go find out if this news is true or not." Concubine Jia ordered after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the subordinates will send someone to investigate immediately, the news will definitely not be wrong!
Concubine Jia returned her gaze to the book, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, Princess Anle, I wish you a long sleep.

Concubine Jia sat on a chair drinking tea and waited for the news.

"Your Majesty, we have found news! Two pieces of news to be exact!" The guard rushed in to report.

"Oh, tell me quickly." Concubine Jia urged impatiently.

"First, Princess An Le has been rescued, but..." the guard paused.

"I haven't woken up yet, and I still have a high fever. The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital are helpless." The guard continued to report.

"Haven't woken up yet? Even the hospitals can't cure her? Then why is she still alive!" Concubine Jia was obviously extremely disappointed, and she was killed for nothing.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the location where she fell was remote and there was no one nearby, so she drowned and fell into a coma."

The guard told Concubine Jia all the news he had heard in detail.

Concubine Jia frowned slightly.

"Okay, back off."

The little girl's life is quite tough, and she was able to drift in the river for so long without dying.

Concubine Jia snorted a few times, but she hoped that Princess Anle would sleep forever, so as not to hinder her eyes.

"Yes!" The guard stepped back respectfully.

Concubine Jia put down the scroll in her hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her fingers, the corner of her mouth curled up sinisterly.

Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and the little princess hadn't woken up yet.

Xiao Nuomi suffocated for too long, and then spit out all the medicine. A group of people squeezed into the room were going crazy.

In the early morning, Liugong knew the news of the little princess falling into the water, and all the concubines were anxious, wondering if there would be any disaster involved in this incident.

In Jiayuan Palace, Concubine Jia sat in front of the dressing table and carefully painted her eyebrows. The nurse next to her smiled and said, "Your Majesty, where should you put your rouge?"

Concubine Jia's fingertips moved slightly, her slender hands slid across every corner of the rouge box, and suddenly stopped,

"Bring the rouge here, let me see."

The nanny hurried over and handed the porcelain bottle filled with rouge to Concubine Jia, Concubine Jia squeezed the stopper off, put it up her nose and sniffed it.
