On the first day of August, the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Princess Duanhui took a sip of tea and asked the housekeeper Mother Gao beside her: "What time is it now?" Why hasn't the county lord come here yet? ”

Mother Gao owed a debt and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave has already sent a little maid to urge it." ”

The eldest princess looked at the door and complained: "That girl, she is really playing wild in the Zhuangzi." On such an important day today, I dare to oversleep! ”

As soon as the words fell, a panicked voice came from a maid outside the door: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the county lord is ......"

When the eldest princess heard this, she rushed to the door quickly, and without waiting for the maid to catch her breath, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”

The maid came all the way, swallowed her saliva and moistened her throat, and then said, "County Lord...... The county lord didn't allow anyone to be on duty last night, and when Sister Jiangzhu went to tell her to get up this morning, she found out that she was sick and now has a high fever! ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she threw down a sentence: "Go and ask the imperial doctor!" He pulled his legs and hurried to his daughter's room.

Seeing her daughter's little face burning red, and her pitiful appearance in a daze and delirium, the eldest princess only felt that her heart was about to break. "The county lord is sick like this, why didn't he come to report it to me earlier? Why don't you go and get a doctor? Turning her head to look at the rows of people kneeling on the ground, the eldest princess was like a violent lioness, so angry that she wanted to kill.

Minyi, who had a high fever, did not sleep well, and when she heard her mother's angry voice, she opened her eyes with difficulty: "Mother, don't blame them, I told them not to ask for a royal doctor." The daughter thought that she would be fine if she slept a little longer, who knows...... Who knew it was getting hotter and hotter. ”

"Why are you so confused! Can you sleep well when you are sick? The daughter's defense did not extinguish the anger of the eldest princess, she still said hatefully: "The county lord is sick and confused, are you also confused?" She said that if she didn't invite the imperial doctor, she really didn't want to invite it? The eldest maid and the housekeeper's mother who served the county lord each had twenty boards, and the rest had ten boards, and they went to Gao's mother to receive the punishment! ”

"Mother! They are all my maids, so what is wrong with doing what I command? He who does not listen to me should be punished! Minyi stubbornly stopped.

The daughter who has always been alive and kicking pleads with such a soft and weak voice, where is the eldest princess still hard-hearted? What's more, what she said is right, today's subordinates are just acting according to their daughter's orders, and if they want to punish themselves, it will only damage their daughter's prestige in the hearts of the subordinates. Sighing helplessly, the eldest princess no longer mentioned the punishment.

The eldest princess's mansion kept two imperial doctors given by the first emperor back then. After a while, the two imperial doctors arrived together.

After taking turns to take the pulse of the county lord, the two imperial doctors glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.

Minyi, who was lying on the hospital bed, also lifted her heart. The medicine that made her sick this time was prepared by Bi Tuo himself, and he swore that the symptoms after the use of this medicine were very severe wind and cold, and after a high fever, it would be cured and would not damage the body. The bad old man of Bi Tuo never paid attention to the defense of men and women, and the inner courtyard was like his inner garden, and he could enter it if he wanted. Therefore, during the days of living in Zhuangzi, Minyi and he also became acquainted, and knew the unreliable nature of this bad old man, so it was inevitable that he was worried that he was bragging and was found out by the imperial doctor.

But I don't know that the reason why these two imperial doctors looked strange was not because they found out that the county lord's illness was fake.

The eldest princess saw that the two of them looked strange, and she didn't speak after checking the pulse, and thought that her daughter was so sick: "What's wrong with the county lord?" What do you mean? ”

The older one bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the county lord is infected with a very severe wind and cold, and after taking antipyretics, as long as you take care of it, it will be fine." Another also subsequently seconded: "The same is true of Wechen's diagnosis." ”

The eldest princess didn't believe it: "Why did those two look so strange just now? ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the two of them just can't figure it out, how could the county lord, who has always been in good health, be infected with such a strict wind chill in this August weather."

When Minyi heard this, she scolded Bi Tuo's bad old man in her heart, it was really unreliable! What kind of medicine is not good to match one that looks like a wind chill, and I don't consider that it is the height of summer, isn't it suspicious to get a wind chill? But this time Minyi wronged Bi Tuo, she didn't know medical skills, and she didn't know how difficult it was to match this kind of medicine that would make people so sick that they couldn't get out of bed but didn't hurt their bodies, otherwise Han's mother would not have tried it and shook her head directly. To be able to appear in this kind of seemingly cold is the result of Bi Tuo's hard thinking for three days and a whole night.

The eldest princess also looked at her daughter strangely: "Minyi, you didn't allow anyone to be on duty last night, what did you do?" Why do you get a chill in the middle of summer? “

How can Minyi say that she doesn't allow people to be on duty at night, because she doesn't want to harm the big girl around her to take the responsibility of poor service? If she is still sick because she is being served by someone around her, no matter how much she pleads, her mother will never tolerate it.

With a roll of her eyes, Min Yi explained curtly: "My daughter was greedy for cold last night, so she put several more pieces of ice in the inner room...... I'm afraid that Jiangzhu and Jiangzi will not be allowed, so they are not allowed to be on duty at night. ”

"Nonsense!" The eldest princess said angrily, "When you get better, give me a month's grounding!" With that, he got up and wanted to go.

"Mother!" Minyi hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said in a wailing voice: "My daughter is wrong, don't be angry." When the mother entered the palace, bring the pearls and purple, I heard that this time many famous opera troupes and juggling troupes came from other places to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, but unfortunately her daughter was sick this time and could not go to see it, the mother took them, and came back to relieve her daughter's boredom. Is it good? Mother......"

Every time her daughter pleads for mercy, she will call her "mother" in a soft and glutinous voice. At this moment, although she was annoyed that she was messing around and didn't care for her body, her daughter said it was really pitiful, this coquettish voice was still sick and weak, the eldest princess couldn't bear to refuse after all, and said angrily: "Then let them follow, just talk to you to relieve your boredom, but this grounding is not missing for a day!" ”

Minyi, who had achieved her goal, stopped making trouble, and nodded obediently: "My daughter is provincial." It's not early, so the mother will go to the palace, and the daughter will take the medicine obediently at home, and the mother doesn't need to worry. ”

After taking the maid's boiled fever, Minyi looked at the top of the tent in a daze, and couldn't help but worry a little about her mother. Zhihua didn't let her enter the palace for the banquet, and explained that she would definitely ask Jiangzhu and Jiangzi to accompany her mother, although she didn't explain why, but Minyi couldn't guess that she must have learned that this banquet was not peaceful from some channel. Minyi, who was worried about her mother, was finally unable to defeat the power of the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Weiguo Mansion, Xiao Fei was also dressed up at the moment, and was about to leave for the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. She did not deliberately block the news of the aggravation of Shen Bin's condition recently, and the palace had also sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her a few days ago, so if Wei Guogong did not go today, the Queen Mother would not blame.

Walking to the gate, Xiao Fei was about to get into the carriage, when a subordinate suddenly hurriedly reported: "Madam, the prince has entered the palace." ”

Xiao Fei was shocked and asked sharply, "Is this serious?" When did the prince return to Beijing? ”

"It's true. Lord Zuo Xiang had just met the prince in front of the palace gate, and immediately sent the little one over to spread the word. When did the prince return to Beijing, this Zuo Xiangsan has never received news. ”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Fei's face returned to calm. "I know, you've done a good job, go to the account office of the Patriotic Mansion to receive the reward yourself." The little guy looked happy and bowed and withdrew.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Fei's face showed a solemn expression. "Madam, the prince went directly to the palace, do you think he would directly intercede with the emperor and take the grandfather out of the palace?" The one who spoke out was Zhou's mother, a confidant who served her in a small way.

Xiao Fei snorted coldly: "He is a hairy boy, what qualifications does he have to make such a request to the Holy Lord?" There is not only the imperial doctor sitting in the Guogong Mansion, but also my good wife personally serving the sick, and the saint is also reasonable, even if he really pleads, he will not allow it. ”

Zhou's mother was devoted to Xiao Fei's, and her heart was a lot more stable when she heard this. Xiao Fei's heart is not as relaxed as she said, I don't know why, I always feel uneasy.

The two never worried that Shen Ze would expose everything in public, firstly, Xiao Fei's painstaking layout for more than ten years and his actions were thorough, Shen Ze couldn't catch her at all, and secondly, Xiao Fei's perfect image of the Duchess was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now who in Beijing is a mother-in-law who doesn't take her as an example to educate her daughter-in-law? Even if Shen Ze had nothing to do, he ran out to announce all his experiences, and no one would believe what he said without Zuo Xiang to testify. And if you want the left minister to come out and testify for him, it is simply impossible. For the sake of a grandson who has no foundation, he offended the daughter who held the power of the national government, stood up and admitted that he had no way to teach his daughter, and raised a wicked woman, and Zuo Xiang would do it if he was crazy.

The master and servant had their own thoughts, and after some thought, the carriage had arrived in front of the palace gate.
