The weather at the end of April shouldn’t be like this.
It must be an illusion!
He cringed and continued to listen intently.
Then, he felt the temperature around him drop again, as if it was about to freeze him into ice.
Surrounded by that cold aura, the imperial physician could not calm down at all. He looked around and unexpectedly met a beautiful face that was as cold as ice.
He clearly knew that His Highness could not see, but he felt that the other party was staring at him.
The imperial physician wiped his cold sweat and something flashed across his mind. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no. I’m old and my eyesight isn’t good. Why don’t you do the acupuncture for His Highness in the future?”
The imperial physician wiped his cold sweat and something flashed across his mind. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no. I’m old and my eyesight isn’t good. Why don’t you do the acupuncture for His Highness in the future?”
With that, he glanced at Xuanyuan Ce without a trace. Indeed, his expression had improved.
His life was saved, but the imperial physician wanted to cry. This learning opportunity was so rare.
Ji Luo didn’t stop what he was doing. “There are so many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. Since it’s inconvenient for Senior, let’s get someone else.”
In other words, if your eyesight isn’t good, find someone with good eyesight.
“Those young juniors are inexperienced. I don’t dare to let them inject His Highness. What if something goes wrong when they’re nervous?” At this point, he looked troubled.
He didn’t dare to curse, as long as the meaning was there.
Ji Luo was speechless.
Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen returned and happened to hear this conversation. She rolled her eyes. “Isn’t there anyone in the entire Imperial Hospital who has good eyesight and experience?”
The imperial physician’s heart was crying. He braced himself and said, “No.”
Shen Yijia muttered in disdain, “The people from the Imperial Hospital are so useless!”
The imperial physician was speechless.
“Your Highness, for you, I’ve lost the reputation of the entire imperial hospital.”
Shen Yijia frowned. “We can’t ask Mother to enter the palace every day, right?”
Song Jingchen, who had seen through everything, said in amusement, “It’s indeed inconvenient for Mother to enter the palace every day to give His Highness acupuncture.”
He paused and noticed Xuanyuan Ce’s expression instantly darken. He continued, “Why don’t you let His Highness recuperate at our place for the time being?
“After all, it’s not easy to insert a needle into your head. You won’t feel at ease leaving it to others.”
Xuanyuan Ce was satisfied.
The imperial physician quickly added, “Sir, you’re right. That’s what I mean.”
Xuanyuan Ce, who had been silent all this while, suddenly sighed and said, “If there’s really an accident, it’s my fate. It’s no wonder that there are others.
Imperial Physician Meng, you don’t have to feel pressured.”
Song Jingchen thought to himself, “I didn’t know you were so good at acting.”
Xuanyuan Ce thought, “Same to you.”
Ji Luo had already placed the last needle. She glanced at Xuanyuan Ce and said indifferently, “We’ll leave the palace after 15 minutes.”
Xuanyuan Ce said, “Alright!”
Shen Yijia looked at the imperial physician, then at Xuanyuan Ce. She whispered in Song Jingchen’s ear, “Hubby, why do I feel that something is wrong?”
Song Jingchen smiled. “I think something’s wrong too.”
If Xuanyuan Ce wanted to leave the palace to recuperate, he naturally had to obtain the permission of the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhou. As soon as Ji Luo agreed, Chu Feng went to report.
The emperor was easy to talk to, so Chu Feng chose to tell the truth.
However, it was different when it came to Empress Dowager Zhou. He made sure to mention that Xuanyuan Ce’s condition was serious, so serious Ji Luo was the only one who could treat him.
As expected, Empress Dowager Zhou agreed. She even asked him about the environment of his small courtyard and if there was anyone serving him. If there was really no other way, they could move to the residence.
Chu Feng did not dare to make this decision. He could only say that he would ask His Highness for his opinion.
Thinking of Ji Luo’s presence, Empress Dowager Zhou suppressed the thought or maK1ng a trip to tne yurple mansion Hall personally. sne glancea at enu Feng and said, “Go back and ask Ce l er how to deal with the Yu family.” Chu Feng was stunned and retreated.
When he returned to the Purple Mansion Hall, Ji Luo had just finished acupuncture for Xuanyuan Ce.
“Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have agreed to let His Highness leave the palace to recuperate.”
With that, he whispered something in Xuanyuan Ce’s ear.
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. “Where is she locked up?”
There was a secret room in the palace of the Xuanyuan Kingdom for important prisoners.
There was no daylight inside. It was made of stone bricks on all sides, and there was only a bowl-sized hole in the door. Apart from being used for ventilation, it was also to facilitate the delivery of food to prisoners.
In the dark room, Xuanyuan Ye buried her head in her knees and curled up into a ball. She did not even look at the steamed bun Madam Yu handed over. Madam Yu’s heart ached and she felt helpless. She advised, “Ye’er, please eat.”
“Why did you do that?” Xuanyuan Ye interrupted her coldly.. “Since you did it, why couldn’t you hide the secret well?”
