Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 386 Entering the Palace (4)

The sound of deep breathing was heard in the inner hall. For the first time, Concubine Rou realized that even the most ordinary breathing could be so precious and rare.

She gasped greedily, feeling her almost exhausted life slowly being nourished.

Everyone looked at her quietly, and when they saw her iron-blue face gradually turn slightly red, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanyuan Jing had long forgotten the pain in his abdomen, and tears were streaming down his cheeks.

He couldn't imagine whether he would still have the courage to continue living if his mother lost her life because of eating the grapes he brought.

Concubine Rou finally had enough time to look around. Seeing her own son like this, she said distressedly:

"Don't be afraid, Jing'er. Mother is fine."

Xuanyuan Jing couldn't bear it any longer, he rushed over and hugged Roupin's legs, shouting with trembling lips:

"Mother, I'm so glad you're okay! It's all my fault. If I could have peeled the grapes myself and fed them to you, you wouldn't have choked on a grape bead!"

Although he did not cry out loud, the hem of Concubine Rou's dress soon became wet.

Empress Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this. She didn't bother to pay attention to the sticky mother and son. She winked at Shangguan Qingyue and the two of them quietly left the inner room.

The Queen's men were blocking the way outside, so even though the imperial doctors and the maids from Yaoyue Palace had been eagerly waiting, no one could enter the inner hall.

Even Emperor Mingde, who had rushed over after hearing the news, and Xuanyuan Yan, who had just entered the palace, were stopped outside the door.

It is not quite appropriate to say that he was stopped. It should be that Emperor Mingde was very conscious and did not force his way in.

He had no feelings for Concubine Rou, and since the Queen's people were not allowed in, he was happy not to worry about it.

Xuanyuan Yan, however, still couldn't remain calm, because his little girl was in there!

When he saw people coming out, he was the first to rush to the front, put his arm around the little girl's shoulders and asked anxiously:

"Qingqing, are you okay? Why is your head full of sweat?"

He angrily looked at the imperial doctors around him who were showing anxious expressions, and snorted coldly:

"I don't know what you imperial doctors are busy with on a daily basis. Your medical skills have not improved but deteriorated, and you have even made our little girl work harder to help with the treatment!

He is really a vagrant, hopeless!"

The director of the Imperial Hospital was also present, and his face turned pale as soon as these words came out. Is there something wrong with the Third Prince's brain?

The Nanrong family is his mother's family. He spared no effort to make trouble for his mother's family. Did he think his life was too comfortable? !

Among the three imperial doctors who came first and him, three were from the Nanrong family. When they heard this, they were all angry and terrified.

However, the old doctor with white hair and beard was not among them. Seeing the other three people kneeling on the ground and crying out for justice, his reaction was very calm.

He only cared about one thing, and then he asked:

“This old minister is indeed incompetent. I have lived to such an old age and yet I don’t know how to save this man who was choked.

I, the old minister, would like to ask you a question. Could you tell me how you treated Concubine Rou?"

This imperial physician was born in a poor family and learned medicine by chance. However, he is now very old and has not been able to pass on his own knowledge.

The Imperial Hospital in the palace belongs to the Nanrong family. It is a great fortune for him, an outsider, to be able to protect himself until today.

When he heard the words "working for nothing", he wanted to clap his hands and cheer! It was such a fitting description!

Shangguan Qingyue never thought of hiding this method. She hoped that when the right opportunity came, she could let the people of Da'an know about it.

So I simply organized the words in my head and was about to speak, but was interrupted by an urgent voice:

"Isn't it too abrupt for Doctor Wang to ask this? As a doctor, who doesn't have unique skills that are not passed on to others?

Put yourself in my shoes. If I ask you to teach me the medical skills you are best at, would you be willing to teach me everything you know?"

The old doctor was choked and speechless. He was indeed too anxious just now and his words were out of control.

However, Nan Rongrui is protecting this girl in front of him, isn't it because he wants to keep the wealth within the family? Humph, he thinks he is so noble!

At this moment, Xuanyuan Jing walked out of the inner room. He first looked at Shangguan Qingyue, who was half-held in Xuanyuan Yan's arms, with a complicated expression, and then saluted the emperor and empress.

Emperor Mingde looked indifferent. If he was not really curious about what method Qingyue used to rescue her, he would have just walked away.

Just kidding, if he makes Zi Tong unhappy, there won’t be many ways for him, an old man like him, to make her happy!

So he just asked, "Jing'er, is your mother okay? If there is nothing serious, you should stay with your mother and let her have a good rest. I will not go in to see her."

Xuanyuan Jing's heart was filled with bitterness. His mother had lived half her life, always waiting.

Now that I have almost lost my life, my father has not shown me any mercy, and he is not even willing to look at me.

If he had never had any feelings for my mother from the beginning to the end, why did he take her into the palace?

His mother was one of the most talented women in the capital, but it was a pity that she wasted her youth in this deep palace and also ruined her son!

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and stopped Emperor Mingde when he was about to turn around.

"Father, please stay!"

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged:

"Please go in and see my mother. She has always been thinking about you. She got sick a few days ago and insisted not to let anyone around her know about it in order not to add to your worries.

Today, my mother choked because she suddenly coughed while eating grapes."

As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs, which was truly pitiful.

Queen Chen didn't buy it at all, and said in a cold tone:

"Fourth Prince, don't just act pitiful. Ah Yue rushed to Yaoyue Palace and brought Concubine Rou back from the brink of death, and no one has said a word of thanks to you and your son until now.

It's fine that Concubine Rou is not feeling well, but have you forgotten?"

Xuanyuan Jing's face twisted for a moment. He, he really forgot! He originally came out of the inner hall to thank this... future third sister-in-law.

But he was so busy speaking for his mother that he completely forgot about the matter.

But he was still kneeling at the moment, and it would not be appropriate to just thank a little girl like this, otherwise people would think he was kneeling to express his gratitude.

Of course she doesn't deserve it!

So he had no choice but to stand up and look at the little girl with a complicated expression. Her face was only average but she gave people a special feeling for no reason. He bowed slightly.

"Jing, thank you Miss Shangguan for saving my mother's life. I will prepare a generous gift and come to thank you in person someday."

"Just bring the gift, you don't have to show up in person, so that Qingqing's family won't feel uncomfortable and have to take the trouble to entertain you."

Xuanyuan Yan retorted without any hesitation, and moved to the side involuntarily, completely shielding the girl next to him.

Empress Chen couldn't help laughing, and when she saw that the Fourth Prince's face was almost turning purple, she took the initiative to break the awkward situation.

"Okay, Yan'er, A'yue, come back to Yingyue Palace with me. After so much trouble, a good lunch is almost turning into dinner.

Let's go back and fill our stomachs quickly. I'm so hungry that I'm a little anxious."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde could no longer stay and completely forgot what the Fourth Prince had just said. He grabbed Empress Chen's hand and walked out.

I couldn't help but mutter:

"Zi Tong, you have always been weak, how can you not eat? You are not an imperial physician, and you can't help even if you come. Why do you have to torture yourself like this?

Come, quickly order the imperial kitchen to prepare another table of food. I want to have more food with the queen..."

He kept muttering all the way and hurried to Yingyue Palace.

The Fourth Prince stood outside the gate of Yaoyue Palace and watched the group of people go away gradually. He remained motionless until he could no longer see their figures.

He clenched his fist tightly, making a creaking sound. The little palace maid who had come to tell the people to go back after hearing Concubine Rou's order turned pale with fear and dared not say a word.

Hearing the noise, Xuanyuan Jing turned around suddenly, and the vicious and crazy look in his eyes was clearly seen by the other party.

The little palace maid fell to the ground in fear, almost unable to make a sound.

Xuanyuan Jing squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "What's the matter?!"

"Reply, report to His Highness the Fourth Prince, Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou wants to see you." The little palace maid finally spoke with trembling lips, holding her breath and waiting for the other party's response.

But I only saw a gust of wind blowing past my ears, and there was no trace of the Fourth Prince.
