Chapter 22: Rescue Force
East Palace.
Xiao Chufang was sitting upright in the study, flipping through the books. Time seemed to stand still, silent.
The knock on the door of 'Knock Knockββγ Knock Knockβ' echoed through the empty study. The sound was infinitely amplified, and it was terrifying.
However, Xiao Chumao, who was behind the table, still had no change in his face, and said with his head raised: "Come in." β
The door opened, and Grandpa Zhang walked in with his head down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, when the old slave went to fetch the silver dust charcoal just now, he happened to pass by the Tai Hospital, and saw the maid Shuang'er next to the fifth princess arguing with the maid Cuiluan next to the third princess. After inquiring, the old slave learned that the fifth princess was now infected with the cold, and Shuang'er was deliberately embarrassed when she went to grab the medicineββ"
Before the words fell, Xiao Chufang finally raised his head and interrupted directly: "If there are more people in the Tai Hospital, if there are more troubles in the Tai Hospital, they will prevent Shuang'er from taking the medicine and throw him directly to the prison." β
Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to ask anything, and immediately responded, "The old slave knows." β
When he had finished speaking, he leaned down. It's just that before he stepped out of the threshold, he was stopped again.
Xiao Chu commanded in a cold voice: "You directly take the imperial doctor and go to the Yuexi Pavilion with Shuang'er to diagnose and treat the fifth princess." β
"The old slave obeys the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."
After receiving the order, Gonggong Zhang withdrew from the study and hurried to the hospital.
As for Xiao Chufang, he was still sitting firmly on the chair. But the pen in his hand had been placed on the inkstone, and his unfathomable eyes looked into the air.
"Why on earth do you care so much about her?"
β¦β¦
Moon Tide Pavilion.
Xiao Liyue was lying in the futon and slept groggy, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift it at all.
I could only faintly hear the sound of footsteps coming into my ears, accompanied by various conversations. Now she has no strength to blame anything.
"Shuang'er, for your sake, for my sake, I won't blame you for hiring a doctor."
"Princess, don't sleep yet, it's Gonggong Zhang next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has come to treat you with the imperial doctor." Frost hurried to the edge of the couch and hurriedly spoke.
These are very simple dozens of words, but they scared Xiao Liyue a lot. Even the originally mushy brain was barely a little sober.
She pulled herself together and tried to sit up from the bed. But in the end, because his body was too weak, he had to give up this plan in the end.
Father-in-law Zhang was sharp-eyed, so he hurriedly said: "The princess is sick now, so you don't have to work hard." You lie down and let the doctor treat you. β
"Then thank you Gonggong Zhang, bring a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me, and when I get better, I will definitely thank him for his help." Xiao Liyue said weakly.
"Princess, please rest assured, the Sprinkle family will bring the words." Father-in-law Zhang responded immediately.
After saying that, he raised his hand and called the imperial doctor who followed up and began to diagnose and treat Xiao Liyue.
After a while, the imperial doctor got up and said, "The fifth princess was originally weak, and she must have been frozen for some time before she contracted the wind cold. The minister hurriedly prescribed a few medicines, and after decoction, he would get better in a few days. β
As soon as she heard that there was nothing wrong with her princess, Shuang'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The doctor is tired, after you prescribe the prescription, I will go to decoction immediately."
"You're welcome, it's our duty."
Although Xiao Liyue couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, she still reluctantly opened her mouth and said a few good words of thanks.
But before he could get a response from the doctor, he fell asleep again.
Seeing this, Shuang'er hurriedly helped Xiao Liyue tuck the quilt, and then asked in a low voice: "Imperial Doctor, is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to in my princess's current symptoms?" β
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the fifth princess is probably very sick. If she wakes up at night, give her something light, and then drink the medicine. When you go to bed, remember to cover more quilts and burn more charcoal in the house. If you sweat, you should get better soon. β
After thinking about it, the Imperial Doctor said all the things that needed attention. And also told me not to eat spicy food during the period of taking medicine.
And what he said, Shuang'er remembered it word for word.
Seeing that Xiao Liyue fell asleep again, it was not easy for Gonggong Zhang and the imperial doctor to continue to stay. So after explaining clearly, the two of them left.
As for Shuang'er, she followed the doctor directly back to the hospital. After grabbing the medicine, he rushed back to the Yuexi Pavilion as fast as he could, and hurriedly began to decoct the medicine.
Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west. A bright moon hangs in the cloudless sky.
Xiao Liyue finally woke up at this time, but it wasn't because she had slept enough. Instead, I was so hungry that I woke up when I had no choice but to wake up.
"Frost? Frost? β
After hearing the sound coming from the house, Frost hurriedly pushed open the door and approached the front.
"Princess, you can be regarded as awake, the slave is really worried. You must be hungry, the food is already hot, you should eat some first. β
When she woke up, she had something to eat, and Xiao Liyue immediately blossomed.
Happily: "Shuang'er, you are really good. If it weren't for you, I'd wake up hungry. β
Speaking of which, Xiao Liyue wanted to get up and go down to the table to sit down, and then prepare a full meal.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shuang'er quickly supported her with her eyes and hands, and she was able to survive.
"Hehe, I seem to be overestimating my body." Xiao Liyue scratched her head in embarrassment.
Shuang'er sighed helplessly, "Princess, you are sick now, so don't be strong." You sit here for a while, and the slave will bring you the food. β
Of course, Xiao Liyue could see that Shuang'er was sincerely thinking about her, so she immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will never move again." β
But even if Xiao Liyue said so, Shuang'er didn't leave immediately. Instead, after putting on a cloak for her, he pushed the door out.
Then, after only half a moment, he came back with a heavy food box.
When Shuang'er placed all kinds of dishes on the table, Xiao Liyue's eyes never took her eyes off her hand. It's clear what to expect.
After the dishes were all placed, Xiao Liyue blinked her eyes and stretched her head and asked, "Gone?" β
"The slave knows what the princess is expecting, but there is no big fish and meat for dinner today. Well...... And it is expected that none of these things will be available for the next few days. Of course, there will be no spicy food either. β
Hearing Shuang'er say this, Xiao Liyue's face immediately turned like a bitter melon.
"My good frost, you know that I am not spicy or happy now. Just let me eat a little, a little bit is fine. β
Xiao Liyue raised her right hand, intending to draw a size with her index finger and thumb pen.
But before she could adjust, Frost interrupted her movements.
"Princess, don't be so much. When the imperial doctor was prescribing medicine, he told him not to eat irritating food, so even if you wear out your mouth, the slave will not agree. β
So under Shuang'er's perseverance, Xiao Liyue finally had to be defeated. Reluctantly, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
Xu was the reason why she didn't eat lunch, and she now felt empty in her stomach. Even the vegetables that I usually don't like the most are eaten with relish.
In a short time, the rice in the bowl was completely eaten.
"Shuang'er, the food you made is so delicious, give me another bowl of rice." Xiao Liyue pushed the bowl out with a grin, and even chewed the unswallowed food in her mouth.
As for Shuang'er, of course, she didn't care about Xiao Liyue's change of attitude so quickly, but she was very happy about it.
"As long as you like to eat, princess, the slave will serve it to you."
Halfway through the second bowl of rice, Frost suddenly got up and began to hurry out of the house.
Xiao Liyue couldn't help but be curious: "Shuang'er, are you in a hurry?" It's like a wolf chasing you behind your ass, and you're in a hurry. β
"The princess taught her a lesson, and it was the slave who lost her temper." Shuang'er turned around and bowed, explaining as she walked out, "The slave and maid patronized and served you to eat, and they forgot that the small kitchen was decocting medicine. β
As the frost gradually moved away, the sound gradually became quieter.
And Xiao Liyue, who was eating, saw that someone was so worried about her body, and she couldn't help but feel warmth in her heart.
"Forget it, I'll concentrate on eating. This girl is too straight to persuade her. β
Xiao Liyue pursed her lips, and began to leave all other worries behind, eating with her head bored, and because she was so focused, she didn't even notice that the door was not closed.
In the end, when Shuang'er came back with the medicine, she noticed that there was still a crack in the door.
"The slave was so careless that she didn't even do such a thing as closing the door. Princess, have you frozen? If the illness is serious, just talk to the slave. β
As she spoke, Frost closed the door tightly. When he turned around and walked towards the table, he deliberately added a few more pieces of charcoal to the fire.
Xiao Liyue raised her head blankly, "Huh? Isn't the door closed tightly? I just went to eat and didn't even notice these ......."
"Since you are not frozen princess, the slave and maid will rest assured."
After saying this, Shuang'er also came to Xiao Liyue's side. Naturally, I noticed that the dishes on the table were empty. And the rice in her bowl is not a grain of rice left.
Ju'er cried and laughed: "Princess, I'm afraid you're hungry, if you don't have enough to eat, just ask for it, and the slave will go and make it for you." β
"No, no, no!"
Xiao Liyue immediately waved her hand to refuse, and then said, "I'm full now, I really can't stuff any food." β
To show that she wasn't lying, she also slapped her bulging belly a few times. Then his face was full of sincerity, and he looked at the person standing in front of him.
Shuang'er laughed, then immediately turned around and took the medicine to the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Liyue.
"This is the medicine that the slave maid has just cooked for you to treat the wind and cold according to the instructions of the imperial doctor. When it gets cooler, you can drink it. β
