Chapter 220: Hiring a Wet Nurse
Ye Wanqing asked the attendant to carry the things over and said gently, "Let's go see Xiao Fengnian. Is he feeling better today?"

"Much better." Lu Xinrou wiped her forehead and smiled at her purple lips: "He is lying in the cradle in the room."

As he said this, he invited the group in.

Her yard was not big. When three or four people stood in it, the already small yard seemed even more crowded.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a baby crying in the room.

Lu Xinrou handed over two stools: "Princess and Prince, please sit wherever you want. I'll go check on the child."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Go and do your work, don't worry about us."

Lu Xinrou hurried into the house.

About half a cup of tea later, she tidied her clothes and came out, saying apologetically: "Feng Nian was hungry, so I fed him some breast milk..."

After saying that, he went to boil water to make tea.

"Xinrou." Ye Wanqing called her, "The prince and I came here today, and brought along my court physician, Doctor Gu.

Sit down first and let him take a look at it for you."

Gu Chen stood up: "Mrs. Ling."

Lu Xinrou forced a smile: "Hello, Doctor Gu, please take a seat."

Gu Chen sat back down.

Lu Xinrou also sat down.

Gu Chen's eyes were like a mirror, and he asked calmly, "Madam, have you had difficulty falling asleep, tinnitus, angina, or difficulty breathing at night recently?"

Lu Xinrou hesitated: "Yes..."

Gu Chen continued: "Please allow me to take your pulse first."

"Thank you, Doctor Gu..."

Mo Yan went in and brought out a table, placing it in the yard. Gu Chen took out the pulse pillow and silk handkerchief in an orderly manner...

Through the silk handkerchief, he placed his fingers on Lu Xinrou's wrist.

As soon as Fang put his fingers on it, he frowned slightly.

But, in the end, he said nothing.

At this time, Xiao Fengnian's crying was heard from inside the house.

Lu Xinrou's whole body tensed up and she stood up: "I'll go check on Fengnian, maybe he's hungry again."

Are you hungry again?
Chu Anlan was surprised: "Didn't you just feed him? How could a baby eat so much?"

Lu Xinrou's face turned pale.

"Prince..." Ye Wanqing gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, then raised her eyes: "Xinrou, go see Fengnian first."

"You guys sit down first."

After leaving a word, Lu Xinrou hurried into the house.

As soon as the person left, Gu Chen said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "It can't be cured. She doesn't have much time left."

Time is running out?

Ye Wanqing was completely stunned.

Chu Anlan frowned, looked into the house, and leaned towards Gu Chen to ask, "Are you sure?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Unless you use the best medicinal materials to keep it going, it can still last for one to two years."

Chu Anlan looked at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing pursed her lips tightly, her face slightly pale.

She originally thought that she had met her Phoenix Nian early in this life, and perhaps she would be able to receive longer-term companionship and love from her biological mother, and would no longer have to suffer the pain of wandering.

But, she was wrong.

What she did could not change Fengnian's predetermined fate.

The only thing we can do now is to let Xinrou stay with Xiaofengnian for a little longer.

Ye Wanqing exhaled a breath of foul air and warned Gu Chen: "Many diseases are caused by being frightened, so don't tell Xinrou the truth.

Her condition was such that she could no longer withstand the shock.

You should think about it and say something light-hearted so as not to make her doubt or worry, so that she can relax and take care of her health.

Write a better prescription and I'll find a way to get the herbs."

"And me." Chu Anlan said, "My mother gave me a lot of ginseng and ganoderma lucidum during this trip. If you can use them, give them to Xinrou. If they are not enough, I can write a letter back to Beijing and ask my father and mother to send some over."

Gu Chen nodded: "I understand."

After a long while, Lu Xinrou came out again, but her face looked much worse than before.

Even walking is a little difficult.

She forced herself to sit on the stool and said, "Feng Nian's illness has not yet fully recovered, I always gave him medicine first and then fed him half an hour later.

He always cries when he doesn’t have enough to drink.”

Hearing this, Gu Chen stopped writing the prescription and spoke slowly, "Didn't the doctor tell Madam that her body was no longer suitable for breastfeeding?"

Lu Xinrou was stunned: "No."

Gu Chen said: "Young Master Ling is in poor health, partly because Madam is in poor health and breastfeeds him personally. If possible, I suggest that Madam hire a wet nurse for the young master.

This will be good for the lady and more beneficial to the young master."

Lu Xinrou tugged at the corner of her clothes, her face pale: "So, Fengnian gets sick every now and then, is it... because of me?"

Gu Chen said nothing.

Lu Xinrou opened her mouth and said, "I always thought...he was injured because of premature birth...

It turns out that it was because of this reason..."

Gu Chen frowned.

He glanced at Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan, and softened his tone: "Madam, don't worry too much. Young Master Ling is a little weak, but if he takes good care of himself, he will recover soon."

Lu Xinrou bit her lips tightly, leaving a hint of red on her dark purple lips: "I understand."

How can one be so easy to find a wet nurse?
If the Ling family had not yet been destroyed, hiring a wet nurse for the child would have been a piece of cake, but the Ling family is no longer there.

It was already difficult for her to support herself and her child, so how could she have the extra money to hire a wet nurse?

Thinking of this, Lu Xinrou secretly clenched her hands curled up in her sleeves.

Her expression was seen clearly by Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan.

The two looked at each other silently.

Gu Chen put away the medicine box and said, "I wrote a prescription for my wife, but the medicine is quite strong.

For the sake of the child, the lady should find a wet nurse for the little boy as soon as possible.

In addition, Madam, please take better care of the young master and try to take the medicine as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer."

As he spoke, he handed over the prescription.

Lu Xinrou took it with both hands: "Thank you, Doctor Gu."

"You're welcome, ma'am." Gu Chen replied.

Seeing that Lu Xinrou was in a bad mood, Ye Wanqing stood up and asked, "Doctor Gu, is there anything else you want to tell me? Do you need an acupuncture?"

Chu Anlan also stood up.

"My lord, there's no need to worry." Gu Chen replied, "Take a few doses of medicine first and see the effect."

This means urging Lu Xinrou to make a decision as soon as possible.

If she wanted to see the effect of the treatment sooner, she would have to wean Xiao Fengnian off breast milk and then take the medicine...

Ye Wanqing said slowly: "Xinrou, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to me and the prince.

The prince and I are going to pick peaches and make wine, so we won't bother you for now."

Lu Xinrou grabbed the prescription and stood up quickly: "Princess and Prince, won't you stay for a while? The tea hasn't been served yet..."

"Let's drink tea next time." Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Take good care of yourself. Wanqing and I will leave first."

"Have a good rest." Ye Wanqing said.

Lu Xinrou hesitated to speak, and just bowed: "Princess, take care, and Prince, take care."

Only after leaving the alley did Gu Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan stopped to look at him.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically: "I spent half the night reading medical books, and got up too early this morning, so I am a little sleepy.

I am truly sorry for disturbing the prince and the princess."

"If you are sleepy, go home and sleep." Chu Anlan said, "Don't run around when you wake up, or you won't be able to find me when you turn around."

Gu Chen bowed and saluted: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will not run around. I still have a lot of medical books to read."
