However, just as she was about to step through the door, an imperial physician stopped her. He bowed and said, "Princess, please hold your steps."
"Quickly send someone to follow me to Changchun Palace. Imperial Mother seems to have a serious illness."
When the imperial physician heard this, he showed a difficult expression and said, "Princess, this …" I'm afraid this lowly official cannot send someone else over to receive an imperial physician. "
"Why?" When Princess Eleven heard the imperial physician's words, her eyes grew wide. "Imperial Physician is in need of heat and weak limbs."
"Princess, without the empress dowager and emperor's permission, the imperial hospital can't treat the empress's illness." The imperial physician bowed his head and said.
What...
Princess Eleven was stunned. She suddenly realized that things were different this time. Her mother had been beaten into a corner, so no one cared about her.
The empress dowager and royal father wouldn't even see her!
She clenched her teeth and said:
"My mother has not been removed, she is still the empress. If something were to happen to her, would you guys be able to take on this responsibility? Hurry up and send the imperial physician, otherwise, this princess won't be polite with you! "
The imperial physician hastened to kneel on the ground. "Princess, spare me, ah. Without the empress dowager and emperor's permission, this humble servant can't send anyone."
"Imperial Physician, I beg of you, please! Here, these, I'll give them all to you. Can you help me show them to my mother?" She took off the remaining golden hairpin on her head and stuffed it into the imperial physician's hand. Then, she took off the twin fish jade pendant on the other side, but pulled it back in her hands. "I can't give you this jade pendant. I'll find a golden bracelet for you when we get back to Changchun Palace."
Finally, the imperial physician sighed helplessly and said, "Princess, we can't send the imperial physician. Why don't you tell us about the empress's illness and take a few batches of medicine to eat?"
Princess Eleven thought that this was the only solution for now. Thus, she recounted the empress's illness in detail. The imperial physician said:
"It's not any serious illness. Princess, there's no need to worry too much. This is because I've caught a cold. This lowly servant will help you grab a few sets of medicine and then let you fry it for the Empress to drink."
After a while, the medicine was ready. Princess Eleven grabbed her medicine bag and hurried back to Changchun Palace.
At this moment, a tall and straight voice slowly came from behind the tree. Xiao He slowly clenched his fists. When he saw her rushing over to the hospital, he couldn't help but take care of himself and followed her.
Who would have thought that her exalted Eleventh Princess would fall to such a state, and even need to look at the imperial physician's face?
"Imperial Physician Liang, you did very well. This is your reward." Just as he was feeling upset over Princess Eleven, he heard a voice. He quickly hid behind the tree and peeked over — —
He saw Princess Thirteen and the palace maid, the mama, standing there. The mama had given the imperial physician a gold ingot, and the imperial physician was submissive as he said, "This is something I should do. Thank you for your gift, Princess."
"Next, you know what to do?" Princess Thirteen's face revealed a warm and gentle smile.
"This lowly official will report this to Esteemed Empress Dowager. Just say that the Eleventh Princess robbed and robbed the Imperial Hospital for being unreasonable. She stole the medicinal ingredients and even injured this lowly official." Imperial Physician Liang bowed.
Princess Thirteen nodded in satisfaction. "Imperial Physician Liang, this princess didn't come here before today."
"Yes, yes, the princess has never been to the hospital before." Imperial Physician Liang gripped the piece of gold tightly and respectfully watched the thirteenth princess leave.
When Princess Thirteen's figure disappeared from the grand hospital, Imperial Physician Liang's face broke into a smile. He took out the gold ingot and secretly took a bite.
"Imperial Physician Liang, don't break your teeth." At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind him.
Imperial Physician Liang was startled and abruptly turned around. When he saw Xiao He, his face paled. "Young, Young Marquis."
"Take it out." Xiao He extended his hand towards Duan Ling Tian with an icy cold expression and eyes that were like knives.
"…" Imperial Physician Liang cried out in his heart, "What bad luck! How could I have met such a person?!" With trembling hands, he could only hand over the gold bestowed by Princess Thirteen with both hands.
"Who wants your gold? "Hand over Yue'er's golden hairpin!" Xiao He said coldly, and his gaze was already extremely displeased.
Imperial Physician Liang was startled when he suddenly recalled that the emperor had once promised Princess Eleven to this young duke. This was going to be troublesome!
He quickly took out a golden hairpin from his chest and handed it over to Xiao He. "Young Marquis, please spare my life. This lowly subordinate is only a servant. This lowly subordinate has no choice but to do whatever the higher ups say."
Xiao He glanced at him coldly before snatching the golden hairpin from Princess Eleven and placing it in his hand.
"Young duke, this lowly official knows that he was wrong, this lowly official knows that he was wrong!" Imperial Physician Liang was so scared that cold sweat poured down his face. He raised his hands to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Imperial Physician Liang." Xiao He shouted.
"Yes, young duke …" Imperial Physician Liang raised his head.
"Bam!" Before he even saw it clearly, Xiao He had already punched out fiercely at his eyes —
"Ugh …" Imperial Physician Liang retreated several steps before falling to the ground. He felt as if he'd suffered a heavy blow, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. His head buzzed as he fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Didn't you say that Princess Eleven hurt you and stole the medicinal ingredients? This punch, this marquis has beaten up for Yue Er! " Xiao He turned around and walked away.
"Ah, good, it hurts. I-Am I blind?" Imperial Physician Liang lay on the ground, one hand extended to touch the blood.
Back at Changchun Palace.
When Princess Eleven stepped into the palace, she heard the sound of coughing. She rushed to the side of the bed in the sleeping quarters, picked up a glass of water and helped the empress sit up against the bed.
"Muhou, I've already gone to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine. When I fry it, you can drink it and you'll be fine."
The empress looked at her listlessly for a moment, then said, "You spent a lot of effort to get the medicine, right?"
When Princess Eleven heard this, she slightly lowered her head, but immediately shook it and said, "No, they weren't willing to give it in the beginning. After I said a few threatening words, they immediately gave it to me.
The Empress sighed and shook her head.
"Mother, you stay here first. I'm going to fry some medicine." After the empress finished drinking the water, she helped the empress lie down before running out to prepare the medicine.
She first squatted on the ground and scooped up some water to rinse the medicine jar. As she did so, she raised her hand to wipe her tears away. When she washed the medicine jar and prepared to put some water in it, she found that there was no water left in the jar.
She put down the medicine jar, picked up a wooden bucket, and prepared to go get water. She awkwardly carried the bucket to the well, hung it on the rope, and threw the bucket into the well.
