On this day, the nurse Wu was unwell and wanted to take a few days off to go back for treatment, so she couldn't take care of the second lady so as not to give the baby a sick pass. It happened that Xiangye had not come back yet, so she could only go to the backyard to say goodbye to the only hostess Liu.

Aunt Liu leaned on the couch, and the little girl next to her, Huan Ying'er, peeled grapes for her, and was slightly surprised by Wang's mother: "Why is she here?" ”

As soon as Wu entered the house, he said Wanfu and mentioned his own affairs: "Just two days, it won't be delayed for too long." ”

Aunt Liu listened to the light in her eyes and thought about it, someone sent a pillow when she was really dozing, "Oh, what kind of illness is not tight for two days, I'm afraid that two days will not be enough, right?" ”

Wu Shi was embarrassed and hesitated with a look of shame: "It's just that you have a cold and feel a slight cold, and you can get better by drinking two doses of decoction." ”

"Second Miss, but someone else was sent there?" Aunt Liu waved away the maid ring in the room, sat up and asked.

"Mrs. Hui, no." Wu bowed his head respectfully and replied: "Xiangye doesn't know yet, it's okay for the second lady to drink milk for two days." ”

Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile on her face: "I know, you go first, and I will go back to the master to see if the second lady needs to add another nurse." The meaning of the words is already very obvious.

Wu was secretly anxious when she heard this, she was afraid that someone else would take her place because of this matter, this is a good job, not only is it good to eat and drink, but the child is well-behaved and can get a tael of silver a month, and she can't find such a good thing with a lantern.

"Madam, either one day, one day." Wu's heart was anxious.

"It's not like you say it." Aunt Liu said casually: "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, in case it is for the second lady to be sick in the past, who can bear it." ”

"Then ......" Wu either didn't know this reason, or he was unwilling, and secretly scolded himself for being so careless, he was sick and now he is fine, and his good life is about to be gone.

Aunt Liu saw Wu's look in her eyes, and gave her a look at Wang's mother and asked her to say, children, it's not so easy to get sick when you get sick.

Wang Ma knew the proportions, stepped forward and whispered a few words in Wu's ear, Wu's face turned pale in an instant, and she trembled with fright, and suddenly knelt on the ground and begged: "Madam, the slave family doesn't dare, if you let Xiangye know, the slave family will not be able to cut off even if they have ten heads." "That's the prime minister's daughter-in-law, how can she be provoked by a small person.

"If you want to stay, you'll have to listen to me." Aunt Liu didn't want to be serious with the foolish woman, and looked at the kneeling woman with cold eyes: "It's just to let the second miss get sick, and it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal, it's not on your head, if you ask about it, you only say that the second miss is infected with the cold, you are just sick by the second miss." "It's been made very clear.

Wang Ma took out five taels of silver in time and handed it to Wu's hand and said: "This is a fixed money, as long as the second lady is sick, there are still ten taels enough for your family of three to eat and drink for a year, and you don't need to worry about other things." ”

Wu looked at the silver in his hand and was stunned on the spot for a while, feeling uncomfortable, she couldn't do it if she wanted to harm a newborn child, but the silver was indeed in her hands, and she didn't know how to choose for a while.

Aunt Liu glanced at Wang Ma, and Wang Ma stepped forward and said, "If you are not happy, you will be driven out of the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, and no one will want to use you again." ”

In an instant, Wu suddenly sobered up, gritted her teeth and finally agreed, she thought it was just a birth disease, and she didn't think anything would happen, the child was a sister-in-law after all, and there were still two maids, and if there was something wrong, she could call a doctor.

Aunt Liu saw that Wu agreed, so she let her go down and take care of the little slut directly, so that many things would become very common, and she couldn't imagine that she did it, who made the born baby weak, who could blame it.

When it was time to drink milk, Wu went to the baby room with anxiety, said a few words to the two maids, walked to the crib and carefully held the child in his arms.

Xi Chao already knew that it was time to eat at this time, and looked at Wu with a pair of big grape-like eyes, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and when Wu's hand touched her face, she was shocked that Wu's body temperature was much hotter than yesterday, and the word 'cold' flashed in her mind instantly. Shocked why did Wu come to feed her since she was sick, wasn't she afraid that she would be infected, or was there any other reason, although she didn't know if the milk of a person who drank a cold would be infected, but she always felt that it would not be any better.

Wu carefully exposed the milk room and put it to the baby's mouth, usually at this time the baby will instinctively hold and suck, but today he is very anxious not to open his mouth. In a hurry, his hand became heavier and heavier, and he pushed the nipple into the baby's mouth.

Xi Chao saw what Wu was doing, and knew that there was a cat inside, and she gritted her teeth and didn't open her mouth, and she would never compromise on the safety of her life because of hunger.

Cheng couldn't feed it, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to pinch the baby's mouth hard for fear of leaving fingerprints that would make people suspicious.

One of the little girls came into the house and saw the anxious Wu and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Shi was startled and broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "The child doesn't feed, how can this be good?" In a panic, she said half-truths, apparently she didn't know why the baby just wouldn't open his mouth.

"If you don't eat it, forget it." Yahuan said: "The second lady will call someone if she is hungry, so wait." "The second lady has always been well-behaved and obedient, and she didn't call when it was time to breastfeed, although it was a little strange enough to make people care.

Cheng Shi reluctantly put down the child carefully, she was really anxious, if she couldn't do what Liu ordered her, she really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Xi Chao endured until the evening, and the Wu family came to feed it every once in a while, but every time she didn't eat it as before, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

The two maidens also felt that the second lady was unusual today, and they wanted to call the doctor to come over to see if they were sick, but they were stopped by Wu's words, saying that it would not be too late to call when the Xiangye came back, and they were really frightened in their hearts.

The young body is weak after not eating for a day, Xi Chao is still conscious, she must persevere to the end, but who would have thought that the milk was not drunk into her but she contracted a cold under frequent contact with the sick Wu, the baby's body is not more tolerant than adults, she has already felt the heat burning all over her body, but you didn't open your mouth to call, she knew very well in her heart that the two little girls couldn't count on it, and the Wu family, who wanted to harm her, let alone the Wu family, she had to wait, wait for the man who was nominally her father to come to see her, That's when her life will be secured.

Fortunately, the people who came to see her at night were not only Ouyang Ye but also her own father Mu Haoyu, when she saw who it was, she cried loudly, and the crying made people feel very distressed.

"What's going on?" As soon as Ouyang Ye heard that something was wrong, he immediately questioned the three Yahuan Wu who were staying outside.

"The slaves don't know, they were fine just now." Xiao Yahuan replied timidly: "Are you hungry, the second lady hasn't eaten for a day." ”

Mu Haoyu, who was already heartbroken about his daughter, was even more angry, he actually starved his baby for a day, how could it be reasonable, he quickly came to the bed and picked up his daughter who was crying breathlessly and kissed him.

Fortunately, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, why was the baby's body temperature so high, and when I tried it with my hand, my face changed and I scolded angrily: "Xichao has a fever, how do you take care of the child!" "He didn't come for two days before such a big thing happened, and if the child had a high fever that didn't go away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's the minister's negligence." Ouyang Ye didn't dare to defend and immediately ordered Ah Qi to call the doctor, the child was unusually hot, and he couldn't be delayed.

"Be good, Xichao, don't cry." Mu Haoyu carefully whispered and said to Ouyang Ye, "Go get some milk!" He didn't know why the child hadn't eaten for a day, and now was not the time for the teacher to ask for sin.

The milk was brought in immediately, Xi Chao breathed a sigh of relief and was finally saved, and drank a large bowl full of fresh milk under Mu Haoyu's careful feeding, and her empty stomach was better, and the heat of her body was still very uncomfortable, and her brows were tightly wrinkled.

Mu Haoyu saw that his little daughter was uncomfortable and he didn't see the doctor coming, so he said anxiously: "I will take the child away." Without waiting for Ouyang Ye to speak, he took the small quilt next to the bed and wrapped the child and walked out hurriedly, the child was sick and couldn't wait any longer, there was an imperial doctor in the palace, he didn't dare to put the child in someone else's place, now it was a minor illness, and in the future, he really didn't dare to think about it. At this moment, Ouyang Ye had planted a seed of doubt in his heart.

Ouyang Ye saw that the emperor was holding the child and left quickly, so he couldn't stop it, so he could only stay and deal with the matter first, so that no one could find out that the child had been taken away.

And today's incident is definitely not accidental, Ouyang Ye ordered things one by one, and turned around to interrogate the three people who were kneeling on the ground trembling.

"Say, why hasn't Miss Two eaten for a day?" Ouyang Ye stared sharply at the Wu family, because the Wu family was in charge of breastfeeding.

"Slave family, slave family." Wu had never seen this battle, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, cold sweat flowed down, and his whole body was prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to move for half a minute.

Ouyang Ye frowned, and when he saw that his face was red and a little abnormal, Wu suddenly understood: "Second Miss's illness is from your past?" ”

Wu Shi didn't dare to raise his head when he heard this, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his heart was finished, it was completely finished, and he blamed himself for being greedy for a while.

"The slave family, the slave family, was originally intended to be an adult." Wu was unwilling to want to fight again, she couldn't die, and there was a half-old child at home, "If the adult is not there, the slave family will go to give Mrs." ”

Ouyang Ye understood everything when he heard it, interrupted Wu's words, looked at the three people on the ground, these three people couldn't stay any longer, waved his hand and let the three of them go down to deal with it by themselves, as for the one in the backyard, he didn't plan to deal with it now, first, there was no evidence, and Wu's words alone couldn't be counted, and second, his daughter Yun'er couldn't be without a mother, not to mention that there couldn't be no woman in the house, and he didn't want to marry another woman to enter the door, so let's do it first, as for the emperor, he would go and ask for guilt.

Mu Haoyu came on horseback, as soon as he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately ordered the secret guards hidden in the dark to go back to the palace to arrange a qiē, he took the child back quickly, and immediately galloped from time to time to see what was wrong with the child in his arms, one was afraid of covering the child and the other was afraid that the wind would make the condition worse, but fortunately, the child was very obedient and did not cry or make trouble, only frowning bare brows to show his discomfort.

The chief eunuch Li Desheng is an old man who follows the emperor and is extremely loyal, and he also knows about the emperor and Lin Wanqiu, and after seeing the secret guard who came to pass the word, he was first shocked and thought that the emperor was injured, and after learning the reason, he was even more angry, and methodically sent two loyal little eunuchs to the imperial hospital, and quietly called the imperial doctor Xu who was loyal to the emperor.

Mu Haoyu carried the child back to his dormitory Longhua Hall from the secret passage, and when he saw Imperial Doctor Xu waiting on the side, his heart let go of most of his heart, "Let's take a look at the Xi Dynasty?" ”

Imperial Doctor Xu didn't step forward to check the child's face before checking the pulse, and after a look, his brows furrowed and said: "High fever, the minister immediately prescribes medicine, and the fever is reduced first." "When a child is sick, he must be cautious in taking medicine to avoid excessive dosage and damage to the root.

The prescription was given to Li Desheng, and he personally went to the emperor's private treasury to get the medicine, but fortunately, there was a separate small kitchen in the Longhua Palace to facilitate the decoction of medicine.

"Fortunately, it didn't burn my heart and lungs in time, and I drank the medicine to reduce the fever." Doctor Xu was very puzzled, and in the diagnosis of the pulse, he found that the child's body was not like the wind and cold contracted by himself.

Mu Haoyu heard Imperial Doctor Xu say that his heart was already clear, and his attitude towards Ouyang Ye plummeted, and the cold light in the dark flashed faintly with a bit of murderous intent.

Xi Chao obediently drank a small half bowl of bitter black decoction, closed her eyes quietly and fell asleep, she was already very tired, this place made her feel at ease, she could sleep with peace of mind.

Mu Haoyu was guarding the bedside inch by inch, and Imperial Doctor Xu didn't dare to leave, waiting for the child's fever to subside so that he could change the dressing.

The effect of the medicine was very fast, and two hours later, Mu Haoyu touched the temperature again, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and rubbed the corners of his forehead that were swollen and painful due to tightness.

After Dr. Xu came forward to diagnose the pulse, he prescribed a prescription, which was used for conditioning, and he took the medicine once a day for three days until the disease was eliminated.

Mu Haoyu looked at his daughter who raised his eyebrows on the bed, and his heart couldn't help but soften, this is the blood of him and Qiu'er, the first princess of the Mu royal family.
