princess

Chapter 6

It was already dawn, but neither Xiao Yuanmin nor Xiao Yuzuo woke up. Madam Tang went up to look at Xiao Yuzuo lightly. Seeing that he was still sleeping, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although the crown prince was smeared with medicine, it was really uncomfortable. , afraid that the prince might scratch it, the hands and feet of the prince were wrapped in muslin stuffed with cotton.

"Is it still burning?" Zhao Momo asked softly, Li Momo stayed with the prince last night and just went down to rest.

"Some." Madam Tang also had a tired face on her face, "I'll ask someone to boil the porridge to make it softer."

"Yes." Zhao Momo replied, "Go and see the princess, I will take care of the prince."

Nanny Tang nodded and didn't say any more. They were afraid that the princess would sleep too close to the prince and would be more likely to get infected. Although the imperial doctor prescribed preventive medicine, they still didn't feel relieved, so they moved the imperial concubine's couch and let the princess Sleep on it for now.

Seeing that the princess hadn't woken up yet, Mother Tang tucked in the quilt, wanting the princess to sleep more, but when she saw the pimple on the princess's jaw, her feet went limp and she almost fell to the ground, "Call the imperial doctor quickly, princess... princess I also have acne..."

Although she had been prepared in her heart for a long time, when she saw it, Nanny Tang's eyes were still red. The imperial doctor came over soon, and when she got the pulse, she went to boil the medicine. Because of Emperor Xuanhe's words, Li Dezhong also took care of her from time to time. The medicines in the temple are all complete, and the things are all top-notch, no one dares to be negligent.

Xiao Yuanmin also woke up. Although she was uncomfortable, she didn't cry like Xiao Yuzuo, but was quiet. Girls are no better than boys. His hands were wrapped and tied aside.

"Mother's queen..." Xiao Yuanmin was so burned that he was confused, and even vomited after drinking the medicine, which was even worse than Xiao Yuzuo looked at.

"How is Xuanxuan?" Emperor Xuanhe put down the folder in his hand, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows and asked.

"Replying to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness is not getting better." Li Dezhong replied respectfully.

"Where are the others?" Emperor Xuanhe was full of exhaustion now, without his daughter's coquettish voice and his son's milky voice calling his father emperor, he always felt that something was missing.

"The master of the palace didn't get sick, but a few maids from the Clothes Bureau also got sick, and they were locked up with the slaves who got sick in the East Palace." Li Dezhong said.

Emperor Xuanhe frowned, "How's the investigation going?"

Li Dezhong knelt down, "The servant sent someone to carefully inspect the East Palace. Although Madam Tang and the three of them all went to take care of the prince and princess, Madam Zhao also left behind a big maid, Banmei. Banmei and the people sent by the servant took The prince and princess's things were cleaned up again, and a few things that had never been seen before were found, and they were all seen by the imperial physician...the problem was found."

Emperor Xuanhe clenched his fists and slammed down the table, his eyes seemed to eat people, and the words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "Go on."

"The servant found out that some time ago, a maid in the clothing bureau suddenly disappeared, and the maids in the same room also disappeared. Among them, one of the maids from the same township was afraid and dared to speak up. The servant asked, and she said, The court lady had a fever and felt unwell before she disappeared, and she never came back after being taken away by the nanny in charge." Li Dezhong lowered his head, not daring to look at Emperor Xuanhe's face at all, "The nanny in charge of the Huanyi Bureau was on the night of the prince's illness. Just swallow the gold."

"Because those who served the prince were detained, and some of them had acne. Although the slaves sent people who had acne to ask questions, those people were all sick and confused, and they didn't find anything useful." Li Dezhong After speaking, he didn't dare to look up.

"Continue to investigate." Emperor Xuanhe let out a breath slowly, "Investigate, who is going to kill my child?"

"Yes."

"Princess Changping also has acne?" The empress dowager was irritated. She didn't want the prince to have an accident at all. After all, it would not do her any good. The two children were about to break up, so her relationship with Emperor Xuanhe was afraid It's over, "Have you found anything?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the clues have been lost at the Clothes Bureau." Guan Yuma next to the Empress Dowager said in a low voice, "I heard that the Emperor is also investigating, but the news is also broken at the Clothes Bureau."

"Is there anything unusual about Concubine Zhu?" Concubine Zhu is the empress dowager's niece, and the empress dowager does not want this niece to be fooled. After all, it would be foolish to harm the prince before a prince is born.

"Nothing unusual."

"Where are the others?" The Empress Dowager touched the jade bracelet and said thoughtfully, "Where are Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong?"

Concubine Rong is the biological mother of the second prince, and Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the fourth prince.

"Not at all." Nanny Guan said with a frown.

The empress dowager nodded, "Help me to the Buddhist hall, my poor grandson and granddaughter, nothing can happen." At least not now.

"Yes."

Concubine Shu's son Cheng De drank the medicine, took the handkerchief presented by the maid and wiped his hands, "Be careful when serving the fourth prince, you know."

"The slave (servant) understands."

"The things used by the fourth prince must be scalded with hot water three times. If I miss one time and let me know, I will go directly to the Department of Shenxing, and I don't have to come back." Concubine Shu glanced at the people below, and said sharply .

They all know what kind of place Shenxingsi is, and if they go there, they will die. Who dares to go there.

"Yes."

"Okay, when this matter is over, I will naturally reward you." Concubine Shu's voice softened, "Okay, let's all get up."

Xiao Chengxuan finished drinking the medicine by himself, quickly squeezed a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, "Mother, it would be great if I don't have to go to the study all the time."

Pin Rong pinched his son's arm lightly, "What are you talking about?"

"The son made a mistake, and the mother spared his life." Xiao Chengxuan said with a smile, "The son will not talk nonsense anymore."

Only then did Concubine Rong let go of her hand, and rubbed her son again, "Don't talk nonsense, the prince and princess are still sick."

"Yes." Xiao Chengxuan pinched another piece of pastry, "Anyway, no one cares about how well my son has learned."

Concubine Rong pursed her lower lip, "I'm just a son like you, and I don't ask you to be talented in civil and military affairs. I just hope that you can grow up safely and give me a grandson."

"Son understands." Xiao Chengxuan smiled, "Mother, don't worry, you just wait for the filial piety of your son and daughter-in-law."

"Yeah." Concubine Rong looked out the window, "I don't know what happened to the crown prince and the princess. Queen Huiyi is kind to me, but why are her children suffering so many disasters?"

Xiao Chengxuan lowered his eyes slightly, with some sarcasm in his eyes, "With Father and Emperor here, don't worry, Mother."

"You should pay more attention to your body, don't go out these days." Concubine Rong looked back at her son, "Don't think the medicine is bitter, you have to drink it on time, you know?"

"Understood, don't worry, mother."

Xiao Yuanmin only felt pain all over her body. She knew that the medicine and porridge should be swallowed, but no matter how hard she tried, she would still spit it out just after swallowing it.

Mother Tang hugged Xiao Yuanmin, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped off the dirt on her mouth, and said with pity on her face, "Let's eat later."

Xiao Yuanmin shook his head.

"Go and boil a bowl of medicine for the princess."

"Where's younger brother?" Xiao Yuanmin turned his head slightly, looking in Xiao Yuzuo's direction, "Why is he crying?"

"Princess, don't worry, Mother Li and Mother Zhao are taking care of the crown prince." Mother Tang said softly, "Your maidservant asked someone to cook japonica rice porridge with milk. Do you want some more?"

Xiao Yuanmin shook his head, shrank into Tang Nanny's arms, "It hurts..."

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it won't hurt if Mammy blows to you." Madam Tang coaxed softly.

Xiao Yuzuo waved his little hands, wanting to scratch his face and body, Zhao mama pressed his hand lightly, dipped a cotton cloth with ointment and wiped the pimples on his face and body, "It's not itchy, mama will scratch it for you .”

"Sister... Sister..." Xiao Yuzuo cried, he had never seen his eldest brother, Queen Huiyi had been in poor health since she gave birth to him, and she had to make arrangements for the next thing, after all, she was dead, and her child was still alive Although Emperor Xuanhe loves them, he is the king of a country and he is very busy, so Xiao Yuanmin is more often with him and takes care of him.

What Xiao Yuzuo is most afraid of is that his sister ignores him. When his sister asks him to speak word by word outside, he just speaks word by word, so that he can't say more, so he doesn't say, "Sister, Xi'er wants sister ... Xi'er hurts..." Could it be that my sister doesn't want him anymore?Why doesn't my sister come to hug him? "Xi'er, be good... woo...it hurts..."

"Nurse, is Xuanxuan going to die?" Xiao Yuanmin shivered, and felt her throat hurt, and it hurt even more when she swallowed. Her voice was weak, "The queen mother and elder brother are coming to pick up Xuanxuan...and my younger brother left. ?"

"No." Madam Tang took the medicine that Nanny Li brought, and the medicine for the princess and the prince was boiled at the door, and one of the three of them had to stare at the medicine. The medicine had already become warm, Li Nanny supported Xiao Yuanmin from behind, Tang Nanny said softly, "Princess, take the medicine and you will be fine."

Xiao Yuanmin opened his eyes, his eyelids were also swollen due to pimples, he opened his mouth to swallow the medicine, but after drinking half a bowl, he spit it all out.

In the end, I didn't even have the strength to vomit, so I barely drank the medicine.

Xiao Yuzuo's side was much better, he didn't vomit after drinking water like Xiao Yuanmin, but he cried for a long time because of his discomfort, and fell asleep again in a daze.

In the past few days, not to mention the sick prince and princess, even the waiters are a bit overwhelmed, but the pimples are still increasing. Tang Nanny just rubbed the princess with medicine, "It doesn't itch so much, does it?"

"Hmm." Xiao Yuanmin said weakly, "Has my brother wiped it too?"

"The prince has already gone to sleep after applying the medicine. The princess will sleep while she is comfortable." Tang Nanny tucked in the quilt, "I will call you again when I take the medicine."

Xiao Yuzuo felt itchy all over his body, but his little hands were wrapped, and scratching through the clothes didn't work, "Mother Li, it's so itchy..."

"Then can you help the prince feel it? The prince can't be scratched." Li mama gently helped the prince touch his body with a clean satin. The prince was better. No one, except for applying medicine, no one dared to touch it too much, for fear of leaving a scar.
