Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 144 1 Opening with Yin and Yang

Just as the two men exchanged greetings, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Seventh brother, our father is seriously ill. You are too ignorant to bring a woman here at this time!"

Yun Fuling glanced at the person who spoke.

He was wearing a ochre-red brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and had a small mustache on his lips, which made his already ordinary face look even older.

This man is the oldest among all the princes, and he calls Xiao Jingyi "Seventh Brother". It seems that this man should be the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was born to Concubine Qi, whose father was the left prime minister of the current dynasty.

Because the eldest prince was the eldest among all the princes and had a good reputation, and his grandfather was the Prime Minister, he was the most popular candidate for the crown prince.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attacked Xiao Jingyi in a negative way, which showed that he was very afraid of this opponent Xiao Jingyi.

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, another man with the same widow's peak on his forehead as Queen Mother Cui, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, also spoke up:

"Brother, you are too kind. I heard that my seventh brother has found a beautiful woman and cherished her dearly. As soon as I returned to the capital yesterday, I brought her to see the emperor to ask for a legitimate status."

"I think the beauty is this girl."

"It's hard for a hero to resist a beautiful woman. My seventh brother has been single for many years. Now that he finally has a woman he likes, it's natural that he can't help but feel attached to her and want to be with her all the time."

As soon as Yun Fuling saw the two of them speaking, she accused Xiao Jingyi of being ignorant of the seriousness of the matter and being sentimental.

This palace is indeed the most dangerous place in the world. Just one encounter can lead to a verbal battle and a bloodless murder.

Before Yun Fuling returned to Beijing, she did her homework. The first one to speak was the eldest prince. This prince, who was wearing a royal blue brocade robe and looked somewhat like Empress Dowager Cui, was probably the third prince born to Concubine Cui.

Both the eldest prince and the third prince are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid that even if Xiao Jingyi had Jing **'s protection in the past, his life would not have been easy!

Just as Xiao Jingyi was about to speak, Yun Fuling spoke first: "My daughter has a basic knowledge of medicine and has a small reputation."

"When His Royal Highness Prince Yi heard that His Majesty was ill, he was anxious and brought my daughter into the palace with him."

"Your Highness Prince Yi is very filial and is thinking about your Majesty's illness. I think my daughter might be able to help."

Xiao Jingyi originally wanted to make public Yun Fuling's identity as Princess Yi and support her, but after hearing Yun Fuling's words and seeing her secretly winking at him, he immediately followed her words and said:

"This is Madam Yun, her medical skills are extraordinary."

The eldest prince curled his lips and said, "There is an imperial hospital in the palace. The doctors in the imperial hospital are the best in the world. With an imperial doctor here, why do we need a doctor from outside, especially a woman?"

"Father is worth a ton of gold. How can anyone treat him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was movement in the bedroom.

Soon, six or seven imperial doctors came out of the bedroom.

Empress Dowager Cui, who had been silent, suddenly brightened up and asked quickly, "How is the emperor?"

The leading doctor had white hair and beard and looked to be in his sixties or seventies.

He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, your Majesty ate something cold yesterday, so you had vomiting and diarrhea at night."

"And it just so happened that the weather changed last night, and Your Majesty caught a cold, and the evil wind entered your body, causing your old injuries to flare up, resulting in a high fever and a coma."

Queen Mother Cui waved her hand and said, "I don't want to hear this. I just want to know if the emperor's illness can be cured? How are you going to cure it? When will the emperor wake up?"

The old doctor hesitated for a moment before answering, "Your Majesty has suffered multiple complications this time, and the situation is indeed a bit tricky."

"After consultation, we have carefully considered and discussed the prescription and boiled the medicine for Your Majesty to take."

"But whether or not Your Majesty can wake up, and when he can wake up, I am not sure..."

When Queen Mother Cui heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Because of the death of King Jiangzhou, the Queen Mother did feel resentful towards Jing** and even secretly hated him.

She also decided to support the third prince, who had Cui family blood, to ascend the throne.

But now the third prince is still not fully grown, and the other powerful princes should not be underestimated.

If Emperor Jing passed away at this time, even with her and the Cui family's support, the Third Prince might not be able to ascend to the throne and become the final winner amid the fight among the princes.

So Jing** can't die yet.

Queen Mother Cui and the Third Prince still need more time to plan and prepare.

"No matter what method is used, the emperor must be cured!"

"Otherwise, the entire Imperial Hospital will be buried with you!"

A hint of sternness flashed across Queen Dowager Cui's graceful and kind face.

All the imperial doctors knelt down and responded.

Yun Fuling, who was watching from the sidelines, secretly shook her head in her heart. Being an imperial physician was not an easy job. You could be beheaded and buried with your loved ones at any time. It was truly a deadly profession!

The imperial doctors stepped aside and continued to discuss what prescription to use.

Yun Fuling did not rush forward, but stood obediently behind Xiao Jingyi.

After all, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau are the most skilled in medicine in the entire Daqi Dynasty, and each of them is a master when they leave.

She decided to wait and see.

Yun Fuling obediently acted as a background board, but in fact her two ears were perked up high, using her sensitive hearing to secretly eavesdrop on the words of the imperial doctors.

From the conversations between the imperial doctors and the prescriptions they used, Yun Fuling had an idea of ​​Jing**'s illness.

However, until almost noon, Jing** still had a high fever and remained unconscious.

If it continues to burn like this, people will be in danger.

Unfortunately, the doctors at the Imperial Hospital were helpless, and the medicine they gave Jing** was ineffective.

Just when Queen Mother Cui and the others were getting anxious, Yun Fuling stepped forward and said, "Why not let my daughter try?"

The eldest prince sneered at Yun Fuling, "The imperial doctors can't help. How good of a medical skill can a little girl like you have?"

Xiao Jingyi immediately stood up to support his wife, "Medical skills are never differentiated by gender, and you haven't even tried it, how do you know that her medical skills are not good?"

The eldest prince glared at Xiao Jingyi and said, "Father is worth a ton of gold, how can we let anyone try it?"

"Seventh Brother, even if she is your favorite concubine, you can't love her like this!"

"Don't be confused!"

The third prince rolled his eyes, and at this time he started to sing a different tune from the eldest prince.

"Since my seventh brother has asked her to treat him, maybe this female doctor is a capable one."

"The doctors are helpless anyway, so why not let her try!"

When the eldest prince saw that the third prince actually stood on Xiao Jingyi's side and sang a different tune from him, he was so angry that his nose was smoking.

"Is this something you can just try casually?"

"What if she fails to cure father, or makes his condition worse?"

The Third Prince hesitated when he heard this. After a moment's silence, he said to Xiao Jingyi:

"Seventh brother, what elder brother said makes sense. Since you nominated her to treat our father, if she fails to cure him, I'm afraid you will have to bear the responsibility!"

Xiao Jingyi was previously wondering why the third brother, who had always been at odds with him, actually stood on his side.

It turned out to be waiting for him here!
