In the princess's boudoir, through the light gauze, Song Jinyu felt the princess's pulse, frowning tightly from time to time and thinking seriously.
After an incense stick burned out, she got up, went to the writing desk and wrote out several prescriptions. Then she went to the imperial pharmacy in person to get the medicine for the princess.
"The maids can do it," Zhongli Mingye said when he came in just as Jinyu was about to go out.
"The medicine is very potent. Even the slightest difference won't do..."
Song Jinyu was in a hurry to go to the pharmacy when Zhongli Mingye grabbed her. "How much confidence do you have in this matter?"
"Fifty percent."
"What! Only fifty percent!" Zhongli Mingye was furious.
"Yet you dared to take on this matter. Are you afraid your head has been on your neck for too long?" Zhongli Mingye held Jinyu's arm tightly, his eyes full of worry.
"You're hurting me..." Song Jinyu was dissatisfied with him.
"My head is not yours." What she meant was, Your Highness, you're meddling.
"Fine! It's not this prince's head!" Zhongli Mingye threw her arm down and strode away, leaving only an angry back.
Is he angry?
What's there to be angry about?
She rubbed her sore wrist, shook her head and continued to the pharmacy.
"Miss, the prince must be unhappy with what you said," Niaoniao interjected on the way.
"Didn't I tell the truth?"
Song Jinyu was looking for the medicinal materials while estimating the dosage.
She told Niaoniao to disinfect the silver needles quickly. The unconscious princess had to be treated as soon as possible to regain consciousness.
Once she woke up, everything would be easier to handle.
Concubine He went back to the He family to visit her relatives. The emperor was kind enough to allow her to stay a few more days. He Shuyi showed up in front of Concubine He. The He family's master and his wife had mentioned the news Concubine He had brought up last time more than once.
But Concubine He looked embarrassed. "Now that the princess is ill and the emperor is worried, let's discuss this matter later."
"In that case, we'll have to trouble Your Highness the Concubine!" Master He presented some treasures, and Concubine He accepted them all with a smile.
He Shuda paced back and forth in the yard. Now the only chance for him to turn things around was right in front of him,
but his father wouldn't let him see Concubine He.
It was because Concubine He had been scolded by the emperor for his matter last time.
Now he disliked Song Wangqiu even more and seldom went to her yard.
But Song Wangqiu didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the He family. These days, she had been trying her best to please Lady He and He Shuyi, and finally changed their minds.
Song Wangqiu regained her freedom to come and go, and the concubines didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.
However, after this incident, her heart for He Shuda was dead. Now she was only living for revenge.
He Shuda, the He family, Song Jinyu,
wait for it...
All of you will pay the price for my stillborn child!!!
Thinking of all this, she continued to massage Lady He with a smile, only inadvertently revealing countless chills in her eyes.
"That old guy still refuses to ally with this palace?" In the darkness, Crown Prince Zhongli Chengze asked.
Ouyang Jinse replied respectfully, "Maybe the Sect Master Miao is old!"
"Then replace the sect master!"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Jinse left the palace and went straight to the prefect Song's mansion. But to his surprise, Jinyu wasn't there.
So he went to the inn and waited for Du Zhouli, the second elder of Tianmen Mountain.
At night, Song Jinyu didn't come back. A message came from Prince Yu's mansion, saying that she was diagnosing the princess's illness and would stay in the palace for the time being.
Song Qinzhou and Song Chuyu looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
This child always acts on her own initiative!
It had been several hours since Song Jinyu started treating the princess. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, but she didn't dare to change them. Finally, she heard the princess let out a soft groan, but she still didn't open her eyes.
This was a sign that she was about to wake up.
Song Jinyu told Niaoniao to decoct the medicine for the princess and stay by her side all the time. She was afraid there were too many evil people in the palace and didn't dare to trust anyone.
Zhongli Mingye was waiting for the news in his mansion. Subconsciously, he felt that this woman would create a miracle.
Just like when he first met her, she always impressed him. He hoped that this time, she could also turn the situation around.
He didn't know when it started, but she had become an indispensable part of Zhongli Mingye's life.
That day, pleading with his father in front of the emperor was an instinctive move on his part.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A nightingale flew across the night sky. It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Zhongli Mingye always had everything under control and was not afraid of any challenges. In his eyes, the world was within his grasp; power and influence came easily to him. But now, facing Song Jinyu, he was always at a loss.
Yes, he had a weakness. Zhongli Mingye stroked his heart. There were a lot more thoughts here.
Exposing such a weakness in front of his father would make him feel at ease;
but if it was exposed in front of the crown prince, it would undoubtedly increase the risk.
Song Jinyu, what should this prince do with you?
"Bang!"
In the early morning,
a palace servant rushed into the princess's bedroom. Niaoniao stood in front of Song Jinyu.
"What do you want?" Niaoniao glared at the intruder.
The intruder was Chen Heng, a royal doctor who had followed the emperor on his southern inspection.
"You young girl are using medicine recklessly. This doctor is afraid you'll harm the princess."
Doctor Chen had seen Jinyu's prescription in the afternoon, but now he suddenly rushed in. There must be something fishy going on.
Song Jinyu remained calm. "I can't agree with what Doctor Chen said."
"I've been trusted by the emperor to diagnose the princess's illness."
"Could it be that Doctor Chen doesn't trust the emperor?" Doctor Chen suddenly rushed in to stop her. Presumably, he was instructed by someone. Maybe there was someone in the harem who didn't want the little princess to get better.
Thinking of this, Song Jinyu wouldn't let him interfere. Just as they were at a stalemate, a clear male voice came from the door:
"How dare you!"
Zhongli Mingye walked up to Song Jinyu.
"This prince is here. Who dares to be so presumptuous!" His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong sense of oppression came over.
Doctor Chen trembled and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your servant, only, only,"
"is worried about the princess's condition," Doctor Chen didn't dare to say that he was sent by the queen.
"Get out..." Zhongli Mingye gave Qingfeng a look.
Without saying a word, Qingfeng grabbed Doctor Chen and dragged him out.
"You," Song Jinyu felt a little embarrassed under his gaze.
"You've had a hard night." Zhongli Mingye's tone was a bit flat.
"..."
She thought of how angry he was when he left yesterday, but now he came early in the morning. Was he worried about her?
However, she was really a bit sleepy.
Just as the two of them were feeling a bit awkward, a voice came from behind the gauze curtain: "I'm so hungry!"
The princess woke up?
Zhongli Mingye and Song Jinyu looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The news quickly reached the emperor and Concubine Jia. After being in a coma for three whole days, Princess Heyi finally woke up!
This news made the whole palace boil, except for the queen's palace.
"She actually woke up?"
The queen sneered. Doctor Chen was kneeling below. "That girl is quite capable."
"However," as if remembering something,
"where is the crown prince?"
The attendant eunuch reported, "The crown prince is with Miss Shen."
Since he had a real affair with Shen Yingyun last time, although the crown princess was very dissatisfied, the crown prince was infatuated with the new body and almost spent every day with Shen Yingyun.
Snap! The queen threw the book in her hand out.
"This is too much of a joke!"
