She walked up to the Ninth Prince and rubbed his head lovingly. Who wouldn't like this adorable and well-behaved Ninth Prince? She didn't know what was wrong with the princess.
It would be great if the Empress was here. But the Empress had gone to Concubine Duan's palace, and she was just a servant and couldn't make all the decisions.
"The princess is in a bad mood today. I'd like to apologize to you. Ninth Prince, please go back first." She said softly.
"Sister, do you hate me?" Xia Jing raised his head and looked at Luhua cautiously.
"No, how could the princess hate His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Luhua explained hurriedly.
"But my sister said she doesn't want to play with me anymore."
"That was just angry talk."
"My bad, did I make my sister angry?"
"Nothing!"
"Then why is my sister angry?"
Luhua was speechless, feeling even more distressed, and couldn't help but blame her own princess.
She saw Xiao Tianzi running out and waved to him. Xiao Tianzi had just been in the side room, chatting with the eunuchs of Yonghua Palace.
After explaining something in Xiao Tianzi's ear, Luhua asked Xiao Tianzi to carry Xia Jing back first.
She stood there, watching Xiao Tianzi walk out of Yonghua Palace, and watching the Ninth Prince lying quietly on Xiao Tianzi's shoulder. Even after they were gone, the boy was still looking in the direction of the princess, like an abandoned cub.
There was no crying or making a fuss, just a silent gaze. This sensible silence was even more heartbreaking.
In the room, Ning Xuenian had stopped making noise and was sitting blankly on the chair, listening to the noise outside.
Seeing Lu Hua coming in, Ning Xuenian's eyes regained some vitality and she followed her footsteps closely.
"Princess, what's wrong with you!" Lu Hua sat beside Ning Xuenian and sighed.
"Is he gone?" Ning Xuenian grabbed Luhua's sleeve.
"He left. Before leaving, he was still asking me what he did wrong to offend the princess." Luhua said.
Ning Xuenian jumped off the chair and wanted to chase after him, but when she raised her foot, she took a step back.
"Is he coming again?" Ning Xuenian turned and asked Lu Hua.
Lu Hua sighed, "Princess, please don't blame me for speaking frankly. If I were the Ninth Prince, I wouldn't be here either!"
Ning Xuenian lowered her head. Tears dripped onto the surface of her shoes. The tears grew bigger and bigger, and the tears fell more and more frequently, finally turning into a loud sob.
Chapter 20 Emperor Kangning's Gaze
Luhua found the Ninth Prince's bewildered and helpless expression deeply distressing. However, the Ninth Prince himself was not satisfied with his performance.
This isn't an art film; the feeling of helplessness is too subtle, too indirect! According to the script in Xia Jing's mind, once the walls of Yonghua Palace blocked his view, he should burst into tears and sob softly.
This sound must have reached Luhua's ears. Luhua was nowhere to be seen, only the sound of crying slowly faded away. How poetic and touching!
When she tells Ning Xuenian and Yunpin, how sad and guilty the mother and daughter will be!
He had tried to squeeze his eyes, but couldn't cry. After all, he didn't graduate from the acting department, so his ability in this area was limited.
If I had known this in my previous life, I would have tried to be less involved and take the time to find an actress for internship.
He was feeling regretful, but he didn't expect that luck would help him so much.
This body was just that of a three-year-old child, with a weak constitution. After running around for a few days and the cold weather of late autumn, it was no surprise that he fell on the bed and had a fever. Coincidentally, the timing was the night he returned from Yonghua Palace.
Xiao Yue held Xia Jing in her arms and slept until midnight. She felt like there was a stove in her arms and was so scared that she hurriedly called Xiao Tianzi to go to the Imperial Hospital.
Xiao Tianzi also wanted to invite Wen Daosheng, but unfortunately, Wen Daosheng was not there tonight, so he asked another imperial physician to come.
The imperial physician used medicine and worked for half the night to control the Ninth Prince's body temperature, and told Yi Qiu to let the Ninth Prince rest.
In ancient times, fever was a serious matter. Even in modern times, there are many cases of people becoming mentally disabled or disabled due to fever. The Imperial Medical Bureau immediately reported it to the Imperial Household Department.
The Ninth Prince just had a slight fever, so there was no need to inform Emperor Kangning, but how could Xu Zhongde miss this opportunity?
However, it would be too deliberate to bring it up right now; he would have to wait for an opportunity and bring it up casually. Xu Zhongde estimated that he would be able to bring up this matter when chatting with the Emperor at noon tomorrow.
Concubine Yun found out later than the Imperial Household Department, but not by much. Luhua was keeping an eye on Jingyixuan, and she got the news at noon the next day.
At the same time, Huijing in the laundry department waited and waited, but the Ninth Prince did not show up. Coincidentally, Xu Zhongde's apprentice came to deliver something, and she got the news from him.
In the Imperial Hospital, Wen Daosheng arrived late. As soon as he sat down, he heard the eunuch say that Xiao Zhaoyi had invited him yesterday but failed to get him.
He was a little panicked.
He should have been there last night, but he heard that a new group of prostitutes had arrived at Chunfeng Tower, so he skipped work and went out drinking.
This is really not here! Xiao Zhaoyi, please don't misunderstand that I'm making up an excuse not to go! He was fidgeting.
"This isn't like the Lord Wen I know." His colleagues teased him, "He's just a Zhaoyi. Is it necessary to be like this?"
"You don't understand. Xiao Zhaoyi... is a little weird."
"No matter how evil she is, she is still just a Zhaoyi. Your Majesty has cultivated his character and abstained from women over the years. The structure of the harem is unlikely to change. Lord Wen, rest assured!"
Wen Daosheng felt a little relieved, but he was still worried.
He looked at the door frequently. He thought that inviting that lousy imperial physician last night was just an emergency measure. Now that it was dawn and he was back, he should ask him to take a look again. When the time comes, he can explain it again and everything should be fine.
Another stick of incense passed and the eunuch who delivered the message came in.
"But Jingyixuan?" Wen Daosheng raised his head and asked.
"Yes." The young eunuch was stunned.
Wen Daosheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, stood up, and put the medicine box on his back: "Let's go."
"Hey, Master Wen, wait a minute," the young eunuch stopped him and said with a smile, "We are going to Jingyixuan, but we are not inviting Master Wen, but Master Wang."
Imperial Physician Wang's overall medical skills are not as good as Wen Daosheng's, but he specializes in treating headaches and fevers, so inviting him is a good example of expertise.
"Why is it Lord Wang?" Wen Daosheng murmured. Logically, if their medical skills were similar, they should have asked for the more familiar imperial physician!
And if we don’t invite him, he won’t have a chance to explain himself!
"It was Eunuch Xu who came to invite us." The young eunuch gave up explaining and led Imperial Physician Wang away.
The words were light yet heavy, weighing heavily on Wen Daosheng's shoulders. He took two steps back and sat in his chair in a daze.
In the harem, Eunuch Xu is very famous, and when mentioning Eunuch Xu, one has to mention Eunuch Little Xu.
Eunuch Xu's surname wasn't Xu, but Li. Because his godfather was Eunuch Xu, he was called Eunuch Xu. Together, they practically controlled the entire Imperial Household Department. And the Imperial Household Department controlled nearly every aspect of the harem, including the Imperial Hospital.
How come Jingyixuan is related to Eunuch Xu again!
Wen Daosheng picked up the tea bowl and tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. Xiao Zhaoyi was a sensible person and should be fine. Besides, what about Eunuch Xu? It was only Eunuch Xu who had a say in whether he could be promoted.
He tried to comfort himself, lifting and putting down the medicine box.
He wanted to go to Jingyixuan to explain, but without being summoned, the imperial physician could not leave the Imperial Hospital, let alone enter the area where the concubines lived!
He could only comfort himself.
After pouring half of the tea into his beard, he finally calmed down.
When the imperial physician Wang came back, Wen Daosheng asked about the Ninth Prince's fever and felt relieved when he learned that the Ninth Prince's fever had subsided a little.
Next time you go to Jingyixuan, just explain it clearly.
He brewed a fresh pot of tea and just picked it up when the eunuch who delivered the message came in again.
Wen Daosheng glanced at the young eunuch. In the past, when he glanced at him like this, the young eunuch would tell which palace had invited which imperial physician.
This time, the young eunuch did not look away. Looking closely, his hands were still shaking slightly.
The young eunuch came to the front of the imperial physician Wang and said, "Master Wang, please go to Jingyixuan."
Imperial Physician Wang was stunned: "I just got back!"
Before the young eunuch could explain, another eunuch rushed into the room. His aura was much stronger than anyone else in the room. He raised his head and scanned all the imperial doctors, stopping at Imperial Physician Wang.
"Sir Wang, this is the order from His Majesty. Please make another trip." He bent down and said to the Imperial Physician Wang.
The air in the room froze instantly. The three words "Your Majesty" gripped everyone's heart, making them breathless.
Imperial Physician Wang was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair, his eyebrows trembling.
He threw himself to the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the Yangxin Palace: "I am sorry for speaking too much, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Master Wang, let's go without further delay."
"Yes, please go first, sir."
The two men walked out of the Imperial Hospital, and everyone in the room looked at Wen Daosheng.
The tea bowl in Wen Daosheng's hand overturned, and the scalding tea poured onto his legs, but he felt no pain.
His heart hurts even more!
"Lord Wen is right. Concubine Xiao is indeed..." said the colleague who had mocked him before in a daze.
It's been a long time since Emperor Kangning sent a decree to the Imperial Hospital. The last time the imperial physician was summoned for a prince was when the Third Prince fell from his horse, three years ago! The Ninth Prince was the only one who had come in those three years!
"What should Master Wen do?" His colleagues stared at Wen Daosheng with either sympathy, regret, or secret joy.
Wen Daosheng lay sadly on the back of the chair.
It was over, he was finished. These women held grudges the most, and now that they were in power, how could they not deal with him? Even if Xiao Zhaoyi had forgotten, the Imperial Household Department, considering his conflict with Xiao Zhaoyi, would never consider him unless he was absolutely necessary!
Those old imperial doctors may not care, but Wen Daosheng still wants to make progress!
It should still be time to apologize now, but he can't go to Jingyixuan!
The door creaked open again, and it was still the eunuch delivering the message.
"Jingyixuan?" Wen Daosheng asked weakly.
"Master Wen has a wonderful plan." The young eunuch smiled.
"Lord Wang hasn't come back yet." Wen Daosheng sighed.
"It's not Lord Wang," the eunuch came to his side, "it's Concubine Yun. Lord Wen, please go and see the Ninth Prince."
Wen Daosheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes filled with tears. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Yunpin twice.
He can go to Jingyixuan!
Wiping his face with his sleeve, he picked up the medicine box and ran towards Jingyixuan.
Chapter 21 The Majestic Ninth Prince
When Xia Jing woke up, he saw Wen Daosheng kneeling on the ground, apologizing to Xiao Yue.
Wen Daosheng's worries were completely unnecessary. Xiao Yue was not as paranoid and sensitive as Rongpin. She would not wield her power indiscriminately.
But his worries are not without reason. Once Xiao Yue becomes successful, it is inevitable that some people will target Wen Daosheng in order to please Xiao Yue.
As for whether Xiao Yue can become successful - is that even a question? Do you underestimate me, the Ninth Prince?
After Wen Daosheng knelt before Xiao Yue, he saw that Xia Jing had woken up, and he asked him about his health and showed his respect.
Xia Jing tried to appease him gently, saying that this T1 doctor couldn't be wasted. At the same time, he felt strange. Why was Wen Daosheng so respectful?
After Wen Daosheng left, Xiao Yue sat by the bed and tucked in the quilt for Xia Jing: "Is Jing'er feeling better?"
"It's almost done." Xia Jing replied.
His dizziness was no longer as severe, and his fatigue had subsided considerably. He didn't seem sick, but rather tired. After resting for half a day, he felt much better.
Xiao Yue lifted her bangs and leaned down. Her charming face magnified in Xia Jing's vision. The tip of her fair nose touched his nose, and her delicate forehead touched his.
Those peach blossom eyes, like a spring pond, were like two ice beads that had frozen the reflection of peach blossoms, hanging in the air.
Xia Jing felt a cool breeze and smelled the fragrance of flowers.
"It's better." Xiao Yue raised her head and smiled.
The peach blossom ice beads faded away, and Xia Jing couldn't help feeling a little lost. He moved to the edge of the bed and leaned against Xiao Yue's legs.
"Master." Yi Qiu walked in.
"Young master!" Xiao Tianzi fell to his knees beside the bed with tears on his face.
"Why are you crying?" Yi Qiu kicked Xiao Tianzi. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
