The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 839 This is just the beginning (13)
Xiao Jieyu choked up and couldn't speak, but nodded gratefully, and carried Qi'er into Dongnuan Pavilion.

As soon as Xiao Jieyu sat firmly on the kang, she saw the frightened and pale nanny follow in with her body dripping wet, plopped on the ground, and cried tremblingly: "My lord, forgive me, this servant did not take good care of the eldest prince." , All slaves deserve to die." As she spoke, she kowtowed like pounding garlic.

If the clothes were soaked in this season, it would be really cold, and the nanny was so scared that she couldn't stop shaking like chaff, even her lips were trembling.

Xiao Jieyu regained her composure for a while before she had the time to look at the nurse who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately there was a bit of sternness in her brows, and she shouted: "Say, what are you doing by the water with the eldest prince in your arms? , what are your intentions?"

Before the nanny could answer, she heard the rattling of the bead curtains outside, and then Xiao Jun came in like a gust of wind, walked towards Xiao Jieyu directly after entering the door, and asked anxiously: "I heard that Qi'er fell into the water." Now, how is he doing now, let me see quickly."

Xiao Jieyu felt sad for a while, and couldn't help crying again: "Your Majesty, someone is going to harm Qi'er, and I beg the emperor to make decisions for Qi'er. The concubine seems to be a little bit uncomfortable with this child. It's okay if he doesn't cry or make trouble for a long time. The spirit seems to be frightened."

The emperor was slightly out of breath, probably rushed all the way here, it can be seen how anxious he was when he heard that something happened to Qi'er.Taking the child from Xiao Jieyu's arms, Xiao Jun held Qi'er's small wrist, checked the pulse carefully, and said to Gu Yunfeng, "No, Qi'er is poisoned."

Qingchen was quite surprised by his words, and couldn't believe it for a moment.Seeing him holding Qi'er carefully just now, with a look of pity on his face, she couldn't help being moved.At that moment, she felt that he was no longer a cold and ruthless emperor who ruled the world, but just a simple father who cared about his child.Xiao Jun like this is the most real him.She believed that not only herself, but also Xiao Jieyu must have felt his deep paternal love for Qi'er.

Thinking of his unborn child, Qingchen felt a little bit uncomfortable. If that child could come into the world, he would definitely love him so much, maybe even more than Qi'er.It's a pity that he didn't have that blessing, leaving her full of regret and hatred.

Gu Yunfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "May the emperor also ask the humble minister to ask the eldest prince for a pulse?" He just came in with the emperor, and seeing that everyone's thoughts were on the eldest prince, he saluted silently and stood wait aside.

Xiao Jun hugged Qi'er and sat on the kang, holding his small hand to let Gu Yunfeng check his pulse. Gu Yunfeng put on the Eldest Prince's wrist for a moment, and his eyes jumped as if he was extremely surprised, "Your Majesty, are you relieving the heat?"

Xiao Jun ordered decisively: "Hurry up, prepare the fever-reducing decoction for the First Prince, before Qi'er has a fever, we must suppress his illness no matter what."

Hearing what the emperor said, Xiao Jieyu knew the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help crying from the side: "Your Majesty, the soup and medicine are hard to swallow even for adults, not to mention that Qi'er is still a child under one year old, how can he eat it well?" go down?"

"If you can't eat it, pour it. This is saving his life. If the nanny takes the medicine and turns it into milk to feed him, it will be too late. Fortunately, Qi'er was not carried back to your palace by the nanny wet, otherwise The wind blows again on the road, and I’m afraid I’m already burned unconscious.”

Gu Yunfeng went out to prepare the decoction. Seeing Xiao Jieyu's distressed look, Qingchen comforted him softly: "Since the emperor ordered people to do this, there must still be a chance to save Qi'er's life. The eldest prince was rescued in time. Jinxiu has been holding him to keep warm, so it is not easy for him to show signs of fever until now. As long as he can control his condition in time and prevent him from developing a high fever, the emperor will definitely be able to save Qi You must take care of your son's life at this time, don't panic yourself first, otherwise how will you take care of the child?"

Xiao Jieyu didn't dare to cry anymore at this moment, even though her heart was burning with anxiety, she still felt somewhat comforted by Xiao Jun's presence, so she could only choke with tears and said: "Yes, concubines obey the emperor and empress, as long as Qier is fine , the concubine is willing to do anything."

At this time, other imperial physicians from the imperial hospital also rushed over after hearing the news. Concubine Ning brought Ye Chang to visit. Xiao Jun didn't want people to disturb the eldest prince to rest, so she let them go back first, and ordered the other imperial physicians to wait outside. with.

The room was quiet, and everyone's faces were not relaxed. Even though they were not her own children, Qingchen was still very worried about the First Prince.It is very dangerous for a child to have a high fever, even in the modern age where the medical level is so advanced thousands of years later, let alone in this backward era?
Xiao Jieyu's heart was like a cat's paw, probably because she was too flustered just now, she just remembered what the emperor said now, and asked: "Your Majesty, what is that urge heat powder?"

Xiao Jun frowned and said: "Zuiresan is a very powerful medicine. Children usually don't notice any abnormality after taking it, but once they have a fever, it will trigger the medicine in the body, causing the high fever to persist and unconsciousness. You want to I know, if such a young child has a high fever for a few days, even if he is lucky enough to save his life, he will be burned stupid."

Yes, people with persistent high fever, especially children, are prone to pneumonia. This disease was difficult to treat in ancient times, and they would die of respiratory system failure after a long time.The most deadly thing was that the high fever would cause serious damage to the child's brain. As the emperor said, if he survived in a few days, Qi'er's brain nerves would also be severely damaged.

Xiao Jieyu couldn't hold back her tears anymore and said: "Your Majesty, they are so cruel-hearted, it turns out that it was not an accident that Qi'er fell into the water, but their conspiracy, Qi'er is not cold, how could he have a fever?"

Yes, this is the reason why Qi'er was pushed into the water. Once a high fever occurs, the medicine in the body will take effect quickly, and the condition will no longer be controlled.

Xiao Jun was disturbed by Xiao Jieyu's crying, when she saw Gu Yunfeng coming in with a medicine bowl and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's medicine has arrived, and Madam Wei from the Empress Dowager's Palace asked someone to see her, saying that the Empress Dowager heard about Qin Wanrong I fainted in a panic, begging the emperor to send an imperial doctor to take a look."

These horrible things happened one after another, Xiao Jun ordered impatiently: "Then let them all go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to ask for pulse, anyway they are useless here."

Xiao Jieyu hurriedly wiped away her tears, took the medicine bowl from Gu Yunfeng's hand and said, "Give it to me, I'll feed him."

Qingchen took the eldest prince from the emperor's arms and said: "Your Majesty, let the concubine carry him. After all, the concubine has more experience in taking care of children."
