Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 376 Everyone suffers

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yanwei lit the candlestick beside the bed and softly called to the person on the couch.

Fang Yun was sleeping soundly. When he was woken up by a shout, his eyes opened, but Shen'er hadn't returned yet.

Putting away the tent, Yan Weicai whispered again, "Your Majesty, the third prince is awake. Zhongcui Palace has sent someone to inform the emperor and queen. The emperor is heading to Zhongcui Palace now. You have to go and take a look." ?"

After hearing Yan Wei say such a series of words, Fang Yucai's body and mind became one, he blinked his eyes twice and let out a long sigh.

"The children have suffered, and so have we. Get up, the emperor has gone, how can I not go."

Mainly because it makes so much noise during the day.

He simply put on some clothes, put his hair in a bun and went out.

When we arrived, the lights in Zhongcui Palace were brightly lit, Pei Yao's imperial banquet was parked outside, and there was the noise of palace people moving around inside.

There was also the faint cry of a child.

Fang Yun calmed down, then held Yan Wei's hand and stepped in.

Except for her, no other concubines have come yet.

Pei Yao sent a message to the Queen, telling her to have a good rest.

Indeed, it was enough to come during the day, but how could it be appropriate for the queen to visit her concubine at night with her seven-month pregnant belly.

Fang Yun bowed in front of Pei Yao, and then followed the procedure to look at the third prince in the inner room.

The child refused to take the medicine and was crying right now. He was leaning in the nurse's arms. His two eyes were as swollen as lanterns and one was too thin. He looked very pitiful.

Concubine Yang next to her looked obviously sleepy, and she looked a little irritated in her eyes.

It's also unpleasant to be woken up in the middle of the night.

But this is her biological son.

She slipped and fell into the water and fell into coma. Now she finally woke up. She is not happy to see her, but she dislikes the child's crying and making noise. It's really
Fang Yun glanced at Concubine Yang calmly, feeling even more sad in his heart.

After wandering around for a while, I saw Jinbin and He Lingyi arriving outside.

There were still shadows moving at the door, so maybe someone was coming in from outside.

"What's going on?" Pei Yao sat next to him and asked in a low voice, putting down the tea cup in his hand.

Fang Yun frowned slightly and shook his head, "I still refuse to drink the medicine. I cry so much that I feel heartbroken just looking at it."

The medicine is too bitter, so the child will naturally not want to drink it.

Especially since it was still night time, the child fell into the water and was unconscious for so long. When he woke up at night, he was afraid that he would be unconscious. I was very scared.

The second princess and the fourth prince used to occasionally wake up from sleep in the middle of the night, which would cause convulsions, let alone the third prince who woke up after being frightened.

Hearing this, Pei Yao's eyes became more worried. After thinking about it, he got up and entered the inner room.

Seeing him entering, the concubines naturally followed him.

When I got into the room, I saw Concubine Yang sitting by the bed, holding a medicine bowl in her hand, ready to give the medicine herself.

But the third prince didn't buy it and hid in the wet nurse's arms, refusing to drink anything.

Concubine Yang was getting closer, and the third prince waved her hand to reject her. He accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl.

"Mistress, be careful!"

Si Qi exclaimed and hurriedly went to help Concubine Yang and took a handkerchief to wipe her wet sleeves.

Fortunately, the medicine is no longer scalding, otherwise I would still have to scald my hands.

Concubine Yang was helped away, and she subconsciously raised her hand to protect her lower abdomen, with a slightly panicked look on her face.

Seeing this scene, the wet nurse holding the third prince hurriedly said.

"My Majesty, I forgive you, the Third Prince has just woken up at the moment. He was too frightened during the day, so he is probably still confused and scared now. It is better to coax him to sleep first, and then give him medicine when he wakes up during the day."

"But the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is to reduce high fever. This child is still very hot."

After listening to the wet nurse's words, Concubine Yang hesitated and turned her eyes to Pei Yao.

At this moment, Pei Yao had to come out and make up his mind.Then he asked in a deep voice, "Physician, besides taking medicine, is there any other way to reduce the third prince's fever?"

"Back to the emperor, the third prince couldn't stop crying. Drinking medicine and acupuncture didn't work anymore. He kept wiping his whole body with a hot handkerchief. He also used a charcoal stove in the room to make it warm and drive away the cold. It can also help. The person’s fever goes away.”

Doctor Wu hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Then add a stove." Pei Yao did not hesitate.

At this time, Fang Yun reminded, "Your Majesty, there are too many stoves in the room and too many charcoal fires burning. I'm afraid it will be stuffy and stuffy, which is not good for people's health."

As soon as she said this, Doctor Wu suddenly remembered this incident and nodded quickly.

"Yes, what Concubine Zhao said is that you can't just close the doors and windows and light the stove. It's best to have an earth dragon."

"There is a main hall, but there is no earth dragon in the side hall." Si Qi blurted out.

After hearing this, Concubine Yang hurriedly said, "Then let the third prince move to the Nuang Pavilion in the main palace first. The children are the most important thing."

When she said this, Pei Yao glanced at her and nodded immediately.

"Then let's do this first and take good care of the child."

Finally, seeing Concubine Yang's slightly bulging belly, she added another sentence.

"You are pregnant, so you should also take care of yourself."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Concubine Yang bowed.

At this time, there was nothing more to say, and everyone dispersed.

Zhenzhener just got woken up in the middle of the night to take a walk.

After we go back, we can rest for more than an hour at most.

When Dazhong Cuigong came out, a gust of cool wind blew through his neck, and Fang Yun couldn't help but shiver.

The wind is still very cold in February night.

Pei Yao noticed her movements and whispered, "Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out at night? Be careful to catch a cold."

"It's not cold inside the room." Fang Yun said.

"Then you should be more thoughtful." Pei Yao took off his thin cloak and tied it around Fang Yun. "It's getting late. I'll go and lie down in your palace for a while."

Feeling the warmth around his body, Fang Yun nodded slightly.

In Zhongcui Palace, after everyone left, Concubine Yang could not care about the third prince.

Instructing the wet nurse to take care of her, he quickly went back to his bedroom and lay down.

Although she was already four months pregnant, she was very nervous because of her recent physical discomfort.

Si Qi helped her lie down, and was also worried, "My queen has been sleeping lightly recently. If I let the third prince live in the Nuang Pavilion and be close to my queen, will he disturb my queen to rest?"

"Then give him some soothing medicine to help him sleep more soundly." Concubine Yang held her forehead in annoyance.

"Soothing medicine?" Si Qi was surprised, "Empress, the third prince is still young. Isn't this appropriate?"

After she said this, Concubine Yang became impatient.

"If there's anything inappropriate, just ask Dr. Wu to take care of it. The child was also frightened and had nightmares and couldn't sleep well. I feel sorry for him."

Concubine Yang had already spoken, but Si Qi didn't dare to say anything more and nodded in response.

Fortunately, Dr. Wu's work was satisfactory. After the third prince drank the medicine, he slept soundly. Several wet nurses took turns to wipe his body with hot water, and the fever subsided within an hour.

However, the third prince can still be taken care of by someone. Those maids and eunuchs who serve the third prince are not so lucky.

Those who were sent out didn't need to be taken care of. The four wet nurses had to take care of the third prince, so they had enough food, clothing and shelter. However, the two young eunuchs who went into the water to fish out the third prince did not receive such treatment.

Although he had merit, he had to overdo it. Being in the water and freezing for such a long time meant he was ill.

Fortunately, Fang Yun was in charge now, so he asked someone to take care of him, and then he got a new set of thick clothes and anti-cold medicine.

Of course, no one in Zhongcui Palace cares about these trivial matters. The third prince's incident has made Concubine Yang feel unwell, and now everyone is staring at Concubine Yang's belly.
