Chapter 503: Sick Again
In Dongde Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the Crown Princess with an ambiguous expression. His already bad mood had subsided considerably after he arrived at his palace. He wasn't worried about the Third Prince, but about the talented young man. He had heard that Young Master Jiang's leg injury was very serious. If it left any sequelae, Young Master Jiang's future would be ruined! Someone with a disability couldn't serve in the court!
Therefore, Jiang's father was willing to report to the Emperor Shenwu, even if it meant offending the royal family. The Third Prince had really ruined the Jiang family's son!
Emperor Shenwu was even more disappointed with the Third Prince. He punished him with beating and confinement. At the same time, he sent a royal physician and many medicinal herbs to Jiang's residence to appease his subjects.
The prince acted more directly and effectively. He sent his personal eunuch Yun'en to the Jiang residence. In addition to the medicinal herbs, he also conveyed a message: When Mr. Jiang is well, His Royal Highness the Prince is looking forward to his brilliant articles!
Lord Jiang, who had been wearing a worried look on his face, immediately cheered up. His son had turned a disaster into a blessing and caught the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, his future would be worry-free!
At this point, the prince had another loyal subject under his command.
At this time, the prince's expression turned cold again because of the princess' words.
Originally, when the Crown Princess asked to see the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was summoning another concubine. When the Crown Princess came in, she saw the Crown Prince leaning on the chaise longue, and the concubine Zhang was standing gracefully in front of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's fingers gently rubbed Zhang's cheek, and Zhang was looking back at the Crown Prince shyly with eyes full of spring.
The prince also relaxed for a rare time. He was in a good mood and teased Zhang. There was a hint of ambiguity and warmth between the two.
However, the arrival of the Crown Princess broke the ambiguous atmosphere. The Crown Prince withdrew his hand, and Zhang quickly suppressed the shy smile on her face and saluted the Crown Princess with a polite gesture.
The Crown Princess's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly reacted, "No need to be so polite! I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The Crown Prince always gave the Crown Princess enough face. He waved his hand and asked Zhang to leave.
The prince asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"
The Crown Princess had just experienced the incomparable love between the Emperor and Empress, and seeing the concubine's appearance was a bit shocking. The Crown Prince's question made her heart extremely sad. "Your Highness, I was touring the Royal Gardens today, and the Emperor and His Majesty came to visit. I was so impressed by their love!"
The prince raised an eyebrow: "Well, of course, so what?"
The Crown Princess personally handed the Crown Prince a cup of tea. He took it and took a sip. The Crown Princess then said, "I just feel that my mother has to serve my father, but I can't share her worries. The garden banquet still has to be handled by Concubine Jiang. I think this is too inappropriate."
The Crown Prince paused for a moment. "So what do you want? Let Mother hand over the management of the harem to you? And then Father will chop off the hand you extended!"
The prince's face turned cold as he spoke the last few words.
The Crown Princess was startled and quickly knelt on the ground: "That's not what I meant! I just wanted to help my mother solve her problems!"
The prince was speechless for a moment, and the princess felt that the silent atmosphere made her toss and turn, and her heart was filled with panic.
The Crown Prince remained silent and didn't call out, and the Crown Princess didn't dare to stand up either. After an unknown amount of time, her knees began to ache slightly, and the Crown Prince said coldly, "You must remember, this harem is still your father's harem! The world belongs to your father! Crown Princess, just take care of your own Liangxu Palace!"
The Crown Princess choked up and said, "Yes! I will follow the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince's good mood, which he had finally managed to regain, had completely vanished. He waved his hand and said, "Go! Return to your Liangxu Palace!"
The Crown Princess left with tears in her eyes. The Crown Prince gently rubbed his brow and told Qiulan and Yunen, "Go pay your respects to Father and Mother tomorrow!"
The Crown Princess finally understood what the Crown Prince meant. Her expression changed again and again. She sat there blankly, not saying a word for a long time, making the palace maids serving below tremble with fear!
Two days later, Lan Qingwu coughed slightly while reading the letter from Qian Zining. Ruhan immediately became concerned and sent someone to invite Nie Wushuang over.
After taking the pulse, Nie Wushuang said, "Your Majesty has caught a cold. I will prescribe some warming medicine."
However, he did not expect that while treating the disease, Lan Qingwu gradually became seriously ill, and his whole body ached and he could not get up.
Ru Ping was heartbroken and worried, so she went to see Nie Wushuang in private. Nie Wushuang was silent for a while before saying, "The cold poison is harmful to the Queen's health after all, but now, the symptoms are inevitable. Ru Ping, don't be too nervous and worried. I will make the Queen well!"
Strong, brave and smart Ru Ping, when did her eyes turn red like this? When did she lose her composure?
The Crown Princess and several other princes' wives began to take turns to care for him. Although they were called to care for him, how could Ru Ping and Ru Han be willing to hand over the important task of taking care of Lan Qingwu to other people?
Just let a few people pretend in the outer hall.
Several well-informed princesses who had married out from abroad rushed to the palace, began to live in the palace, and took turns serving Lan Qingwu.
