princess

Chapter 7

When Xiao Yuzuo was able to go to the ground, Xiao Yuanmin was still lying on the bed, and even a few times he was almost unable to recover. The acne was uncomfortable when it came out, but it was fine when it came out, but the acne on Xiao Yuanmin's body never turned into pustules , the "suppurative fever" will not pass, but dangerous.

Xiao Yuzuo's fever has subsided a lot, and the pus scab gradually shrank, and it will heal when it falls off.

"Will there be scars on the prince?" Madam Zhao asked worriedly as she saw that the prince was doing well every day.

The imperial doctor cleaned his hands before saying, "It's okay, the princess and the prince are young, and they are recovering well from illness, and there is also a good medicine for scar removal in the palace, just rub it on for two years and it will be fine."

"The prince is young, why is the princess still..." Zhao Mama asked hesitantly, but the meaning could still be heard.

The imperial doctor pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Actually, I don't know. It's just that the princess is too thoughtful at such a young age. When Queen Huiyi left, she was also injured. You can't see it on weekdays. If you are not sick, you will be fine. How long does it take to recuperate?" It's been a year, but now that I'm sick, I feel a little..."

Mother Zhao was startled, "Look, Doctor Wang..."

"Don't worry, if Your Majesty asks, I will know what to say." Among other things, Empress Huiyi was kind to them. When the eldest prince died, Emperor Xuanhe wanted all the imperial doctors to be buried with him in a fit of anger. Empress Yi persuaded her to come down. Although Empress Huiyi died, Empress Huiyi still left behind two sons.

Zhao Momo was relieved and just looked at the princess, "The princess's illness..."

"Why don't you let the prince talk to the princess more?" The imperial doctor couldn't help it, "Isn't the prince also looking for the princess?"

Zhao Momo thought for a while, then nodded, and said a few words to Tang Momo and the others, and when the prince was better the next day, Li Momo asked softly, "How about slaves to take the prince to see the princess?"

When Xiao Yuzuo heard this, he quickly said, "I want my sister."

"The prince can't scratch himself, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Yuzuo agreed to anything as long as he could see his sister.

After Xiao Yuzuo ate the porridge and medicine, he dressed him and hugged him to Xiao Yuanmin's bedside, because they were in the same room and didn't need to be so tightly wrapped, Xiao Yuzuo crawled to Xiao Yuanmin's side, "Sister."

Xiao Yuanmin also just took the medicine and hasn't slept yet. In fact, he couldn't fall asleep because of the discomfort in his body. "My brother is well, that's great."

Xiao Yuzuo cautiously reached out to touch Xiao Yuanmin's face, but was stopped by Madam Tang, "Your Highness, the princess's face has just been smeared with medicine, so I can't touch it yet."

"I'm gentle." Xiao Yuzuo looked at her sister.

"It's okay, Nanny Tang." Xiao Yuanmin smiled when he saw his younger brother regained his energy, "You step back."

Tang Nanny hesitated to speak and looked at Zhao Nanny, Zhao Nanny shook her head, and then she retreated, Xiao Yuzuo touched Xiao Yuanmin's face lightly, then touched again, and curled up beside Xiao Yuanmin, "very nice."

"Xi'er?" Xiao Yuanmin's hands were still tied with satin, so he couldn't touch his younger brother, "You will see your father soon, and you must be obedient in the future, you understand?"

"Is my sister angry with Xi'er? If it weren't for Xi'er, sister would not be sick." Xiao Yuzuo's voice was frustrated, "Sister, Xi'er is good, don't ignore Xi'er."

"Sister, don't be angry." Because the only ones who can serve in this room are confidantes, so Xiao Yuanmin also feels at ease talking to Xiao Yuzuo, "Sister will never be angry with Xi'er."

"Sister, Xi'er is with you." Xiao Yuzuo shrunk his body and moved closer to Xiao Yuanmin, "Xi'er only has a sister."

Xiao Yuanmin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, yes, the younger brother only has her, and she also only has the younger brother, father...has too much, the place they can occupy is too small, it's not like the two of them , only each other is left.

"My sister only has Xi'er." Xiao Yuanmin's tears fell.

"Xi'er is afraid." Xiao Yuzuo tugged on Xiao Yuanmin's clothes tightly, "Sister, hurry up, Xi'er picks flowers for sister, Xi'er is obedient."

"Don't be afraid, my sister is here." The queen mother is accompanied by her elder brother, and the younger brother still needs her.

Zhao Momo carried the sleeping prince back, and asked six people to stand around Xiao Yuanmin's bed where the noble concubine was sleeping with a tall pole. Only then did Mother Zhao start to wipe Xiao Yuanmin's body with warm water and reapply the medicine.

"Princess, the prince has acne this time, someone intentionally hurt it." Zhao mama spread the ointment on Xiao Yuanmin's body, and said casually. In fact, the few of them had thought of this when they first arrived here. I didn't tell the princess, after all, the princess was seriously ill, and I didn't want her to bother.

It's just that the princess almost couldn't be saved last night, and the imperial doctor also said that if the acne doesn't break out again, the princess might not be able to be saved, so they can only gamble now.

Such a terrible disease, the disease that tormented them for so long was caused by someone else?Xiao Yuanmin's eyes widened, "Why?"

"It's just like the first prince back then." Mother Tang whispered in Xiao Yuanmin's ear, "Princess, those people all want the prince to die and your brother to die."

In fact, Mother Tang said this a bit seriously, "Father..." Xiao Yuanmin was afraid in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to find Emperor Xuanhe, but she stopped after only saying one word. In the same way, if the queen mother is here, she will definitely accompany them. When they are sick, she will hold them in her arms and hum the nursery rhyme, but the father won't. Having moved to this place, I dare not even come to see them.

"The emperor is also investigating." Mother Tang didn't know what Xiao Yuanmin was thinking, she just thought she was asking Emperor Xuanhe if he knew about it, so she told Xiao Yuanmin the information she got from the maid who usually brought them meals.

"Princess, you must be well." Mother Tang wiped away her tears without any trace, "Be well."

"Mommy, I want to drink green rice porridge." Xiao Yuanmin said suddenly.

"Okay, Mammy will bring it to you right away." Mammy Tang showed joy on her face, and she was about to go out immediately, but was stopped by Nanny Zhao.

"Wait a minute, change the medicine for the princess first." Zhao Momo was also full of joy, but she was much calmer than Tang Momo.

I don't know if it was because of Xiao Yuzuo or because of the imperial physician's medicine, the pimples on Xiao Yuanmin's body finally came out with pus, as long as he survived the "suppurative fever", Xiao Yuanmin would be much better.

"How are Xuanxuan and Xi'er?" Emperor Xuanhe stood in the imperial garden, looked at the location of Lenggong, and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the crown prince's condition is better, the scabs have begun to fall off, and the princess has also begun to scab." Li Dezhong smiled, "In a few days, the crown prince and the princess will be completely recovered."

Emperor Xuanhe's face that had been tense these days finally eased, and he also smiled a little, "Let the cook cook some bird's nest porridge and send it to them, so that they can nourish their bodies."

"Your servant is going now." Before Li Dezhong left, he was stopped by Emperor Xuanhe again.

"There are also newly imported fruits, ask the imperial doctor, and choose some good ones to send in." Emperor Xuanhe said.

"Yes." Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe was happy, Li Dezhong said, "It's just that the imperial doctor said that the scabs of the crown prince and princess will leave some marks."

"No other way?"

"Yes, Imperial Physician Wang knows a kind of ointment for removing scars, which can be completely eliminated after two to three years of application. It is also good for the skin of the prince and princess, but the ointment requires less medicinal materials even in the palace." Li Dezhong Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, he hurriedly said, "There are enough medicinal materials in the palace, but after they are all used up, the snow lotus ointment cannot be formulated. Some of the medicinal materials used in these two ointments are the same."

Saussurea lotus ointment is the favorite of the empress dowager and several concubines in the harem. Not only is it good for the skin, but it will not leave scars after being touched. However, the medicinal materials used in this lotus ointment are also precious, except for the concubines who gave birth to the prince. , Only those who are above the concubine rank have a share. Emperor Xuanhe naturally knows this, "No snow lotus paste will be distributed anymore. Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else needs my approval. Before Xi'er and Xuanxuan get along , the snow lotus cream is not allowed to be mixed, and the medicinal materials are tightly used by the two children."

"Yes." What Li Dezhong wanted was Emperor Xuanhe's words. After all, none of the people in the harem were really easy to talk to.

"Let Imperial Physician Wang dispense the medicine quickly." Emperor Xuanhe ordered after a moment of thought, "The imperial pharmacy keeps five boxes of snow lotus paste, and send the rest to Xi'er and the others."

"The slave is going here."

"By the way, how many people have died?" Emperor Xuanhe asked those palace maids and eunuchs who were locked up.

"According to His Majesty, there are 130 seven people, including 23 people in charge." People reported this number to Li Dezhong every day, so he naturally knew it.

"Find someone to top." Emperor Xuanhe touched the jade finger, "Let's deal with those found in the palace." What Emperor Xuanhe said was that the ones Li Dezhong found out by taking this opportunity were bribed by others. The palace maid and eunuch.

"Yes."

The maid next to Concubine Shu took some snow lotus cream with a silver stick and spread it on Concubine Shu's hands, then wiped it away with her fingers, "Ma'am, there is only half a box of snow lotus cream left, why don't you go and get some more?"

"Yeah." Concubine Shu didn't take this seriously at all. Although this ointment is precious, for Concubine Shu who is both a concubine and gave birth to a son, it's just a matter of talking, "Take two boxes back."

"Yes."

Xiao Chengxuan didn't wait for the maid to open the curtain, he opened it and entered the room by himself, and asked, "Mother, is there any snow lotus paste?"

"There's a whole box, why do you want to use it?" Concubine Rong put the flowers in the vase without raising her head, "Let Dongxue find it for you."

"I don't need it, son." Xiao Chengxuan sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, "I'm just telling my mother, I'm afraid I haven't used snow lotus ointment in these few years."

"Huh?" Concubine Rong put down the things in her hand, turned to look at her son, "What's wrong?"

"Don't ask, it's just that the ointment should be used sparingly. If anyone asks, just say no." Xiao Chengxuan also just heard the news, "How much is left?"

"There is a whole box, and there is a small half box." Rong Bin thought for a moment and said, "Dongxue go and put away the medicine." She doesn't need it, her son is learning martial arts now, and he will always use it if he bumps into it. .

"Yes."
