Chapter 48: The Wind Rises (3)
The newborn princess is more fragile than the average child, her face is blue, her breathing seems to be nothing, if it were not for the slight rise and fall of her small breasts, it really makes people wonder if she is still alive. Rong Xia looked at such a little princess, and her brows couldn't help frowning tightly.
"The crown princess has always trusted you, but now that the people in Minqing Palace are chaotic, the little princess will be guarded by you. When he took the little baby from Xiuxin's arms, a heavy sense of responsibility suddenly rose in Rong Xia's heart.
"I'll take care of the princess. Her expression was firm, and her words were like vows.
Rong Xia carried the little princess back to her room, and with her, in addition to the nurse who had been prepared a long time ago, there were also two doctors from the hospital.
"How's it going?" asked Rong Xia anxiously.
"The little princess has a damaged spleen and lungs, and she must be given medication immediately. The Imperial Physician frowned and looked unpleasant.
"The princess is so small, how can she use medicine. "This kid doesn't even have the strength to cry, let alone swallow the medicine.
"By all means. The imperial doctor's face was heavy, and he seemed to think that this premature princess would not live long.
Rong Xia took a deep breath, clenched her fists and spun around the ground twice, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Finch, you go and find the thinnest hemp rod to come over......"
"Miss Rong?"
"Go!" Rong Xia said sharply.
The finch shook, sighed, and went out to look for something.
Rong Xia asked the imperial doctor to quickly prescribe a decoction.
After a while, the medicine was decoctioned, and the finch also came in with a small bundle of hemp stalks, and Rong Xia chose the thinnest one.
Just now, while people were not paying attention, Rong Xia poured half a pot of spiritual well water out. After heating it slightly, Rong Xia inserted a small piece of hemp rod head into the water, and sucked the other end with his mouth, carefully controlling the strength of the sucking hand, and when the water sucked out was two-thirds of the length of the hemp rod, he decisively held his breath and bit one end, but the end was stuffed into the little princess's small mouth that was broken, and the breath that was held slowly loosened, and the water in the pole slowly flowed into the little princess's mouth.
The water in the space of the spiritual well is unusually sweet and delicious. It's the little princess who has been closing her eyes, her little face is wrinkled, and she always looks in pain, and this time she swallowed it instinctively. Rong Xia carefully fed some spiritual water and then began to use the same method to feed the medicine, the medicine was bitter and astringent, the little princess whimpered and cried, Rong Xia asked people to fix her little head, and sent it down. It took two or three hours for most of the bowl of bitter medicine to run out.
The little princess cried and cried and fell asleep tired, Rong Xia was not as good as the carefully selected nurses in coaxing the children, so she handed over the children to the two nurses to take care of. Outside from the noisy shouting to the present silence, Rong Xia asked Que'er to go out to find out what happened to the princess, Que'er came back and said: The princess is still asleep, but the imperial doctor said that there should be no danger to life.
Rong Xia heard this, and his uneasy heart finally relaxed slightly.
However, there was another thing that also made her uneasy.
The heart-rending voice of the crown princess when she gave birth: Zhao He-Rong Xia heard it clearly outside the room, and she also knew that Zhao He was the prince's name. The crown princess's voice was so poignant and full of pain at that time, did she know something...... Is there something going on on the prince's side?
Why did the crown princess suddenly give birth prematurely, and why was Min Qinggong suddenly besieged.
This qiē seems to be pointing in a bad direction. Rong Xia took a deep breath, and her pale little face was full of deep worry.
Master.........
Just when Rong Xia was worried and didn't know what to do, Pei Jinzhi in the distance was also worried.
Outside the imperial tent, there were densely kneeling officials with accompanying officials, Pei Jinzhi was also one of them, without the calm and calm of the past, he looked very haggard at this time, and his eyebrows were also full of melancholy. An attendant hurriedly walked out of the tent and said in a low voice: "Master Pei, hurry up and come in with the slaves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you!"
Pei Jinzhi was shocked, and a deep pain flashed in his eyes.
Inside the imperial tent, the atmosphere was so sad and oppressive that it was impossible to describe it in words. The imperial physician or the palace people who served had already withdrawn, and only the emperor was standing by the prince's side. The emperor clutched the prince's hand, his eyes bulging and red. The crown prince on the couch no longer had his former amiable appearance, and he lay there, his chubby face glowing with an obvious dead air.
"The ministers see the emperor, see His Royal Highness the Prince. Pei Jinzhi knelt down deeply.
"Sincerely...... To, to the lonely side. The prince said angrily.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the side, closed his eyes, wiped his tears, and turned his back.
At this time, the prince was obviously in the time to return to the light, only to see him take a deep breath and say in a dumb voice: "You sue Sù Chong'er for me, I don't blame him for this, it has nothing to do with him, my father has always loved him." ”
"Yes!"
"And ...... You have always been very knowledgeable, and you appreciate it very much, and when Chong'er grows up, you should be his teacher, can you?"
"The minister will live up to the prince's trust. ”
"If he is prosperous in the future, you will help him, if he is not successful...... You, and you do your best to keep him safe for the rest of his life. ”
"I understand. ”
After the prince said these words, he seemed to be even more ineffective, and his pupils gradually began to dilate, and he muttered, "Daddy, daddy-"
"He'er, Daddy is here, Daddy is here!" The emperor pounced and looked at his son who was about to die on the bed, and the pain in his heart was beyond words: "Son, son is not filial, go first, go first." If there is an afterlife, the son still wants to be your child......" As the last word fell, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes, which were always gentle, were closed forever.
"He'er--"
"His Royal Highness the Prince—" There was a burst of crying inside and outside the tent.
On the eighth day of November in the twenty-first year of Chengxi, Zhao He, the prince of Zhaoming, died.
On the day the news of the prince's death reached the capital, the crown princess almost cried and blinded her eyes.
Rong Xia stood at the head of her bed with the little princess in her arms, watching her cry.
The crown princess cried from vain to night, and finally got tired of crying, and leaned on the head of the bed in a daze.
Rong Xia stuffed the little princess into her arms, and the crown princess was stunned and lowered her head.
Rong Xia is stupid, and she doesn't know how to comfort her, but there are some things she still wants to say: "Niangniang, you still have the little princess and the little prince! The two of them have no father, do you want them to have no mother?" Rong Xia shed tears and sobbed and said: "Children without a father and mother will be bullied." ”
The crown princess raised her head in a daze and looked at Rong Xia, who was already crying, and then lowered her head in a daze to look at her weak daughter in swaddling clothes.
Her dead heart began to slowly recover, yes, she still has two children! For the sake of her dead husband, she also has to cheer up and raise her two children well, so that they will not be bullied, and let them grow up safely and healthily. Crown Princess
Taking a deep breath, he hugged his daughter in his arms tightly, and cried to Rong Xia in a rough voice: "I'm hungry and want to eat." ”
Rong Xia nodded desperately: "Ah Xia, let's do it, let's go ......"
There was such a big thing, this autumn hunt could no longer be carried out, the emperor drove back to Beijing, and naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came back. The ban of Minqing Palace has been unconsciously lifted, and there is a miserable white everywhere inside and outside the palace. The emperor was overly sad because of the death of the crown prince, and he couldn't afford to fall ill not long after returning to Beijing. Although Rong Xia didn't see Pei Jinzhi, he met the imperial grandson, Zhao Chong, first.
The cause of the prince's death is now known.
He was wounded to the heart by a wild beast and died, no! It is more accurate to say that he died to save the emperor's grandson, because the beast was supposed to pounce on the grandson, and it was the prince who blocked it for his son, so he was seriously injured and died. Killing his father for his own reasons is too cruel for any child.
Therefore, Zhao Chong was very haggard and panicked.
He was only a four-year-old child, and he had no way to face the fact that his father was dead. The day Rong Xia saw him was an accident, she was just walking back in the middle of the night with the medicine for the little princess, and she happened to see a person sitting on the stone steps, looking extremely lonely Zhao Chong.
He used to be a little fat man, but now he looks almost a little skinny.
Rong Xia stood behind him and heard him crying secretly.
"Your Royal Highness—" she called softly.
Zhao Chong was obviously taken aback, stood up suddenly, and wiped his face with both hands.
"Bold, who are you to dare to scare His Highness!" the bear child still did not change his bear color, and scolded very bear. When Rong Xia saw him like this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking: It's better to look like this.
"It's so late, why is His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun here alone?"
Zhao Chong snorted. Rong Xia knew that this bear child must have secretly escaped by himself. But looking at his red eyes, Rong Xia felt that he was very pitiful.
"The slave's name is Rong Xia. Rong Xia lifted the medicine pot in his hand: "This is for the little princess, do you want Your Highness to go with the slave to see the little princess?"
"Little princess?" Zhao Chong tilted his little head.
"Yes, it's Your Highness's sister!"
"Sister?"
"Yes, do you want to go together!"
Zhao Chong thought for a moment, and then nodded decisively: "Yes!"
So, Rong Xia successfully took the little hand of His Royal Highness Taisun, and the two of them went to the little princess together.
During this period of time, whether it is the usual drinking water or decoction water, or the food eaten by the nurse is provided by the Lingjing space, especially the food eaten by the nurse, they basically have to eat six meals a day, each meal is made by Rong Xia herself, the nurse eats well, and the milk quality produced is also high.
After the little princess drank it, her weight gradually began to increase.
So what appeared in front of Zhao Chong at this time was a fair-skinned and cute little baby who still didn't look healthy.
"Can I hug her?" the bear asked, looking up cautiously.
"Absolutely. Rong Xia said with a smile.
