Chapter 156 Consort Fucha
At this point, Wen Shichu seemed to remember something and couldn't help but mutter to himself in confusion:
"It's strange, really, that the Sixth Prince rarely gets sick."
"I've always been healthy, so how could I suddenly contract smallpox?"
Fucha Peiyun frowned slightly, her gaze turning urgently to Ye Lanyi, and asked softly:
"Lanyi, you usually take care of the Sixth Prince. What are your thoughts on his recent condition?"
Has he been in contact with anyone recently?
Or perhaps you touched something you've never touched before?
What unfamiliar faces did you encounter? What places did you visit that you've never been before?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a moment with her head down, she slowly raised her head, gently shook her head, and replied:
"Your Majesty, this servant cannot think of anything unusual at the moment."
However, please allow me to think about it more carefully.
Seeing this, Fucha Peiyun quickly comforted her:
Don't rush, Lanyi, just think about it slowly.
I am confident that with your keen observation skills, you will be able to detect some clues.
After saying that, she quietly sat down beside Hongchang's bed and said no more.
Seemingly afraid of disturbing Ye
Just then, Wen Shichu finished writing the prescription. He put down his brush.
Carefully holding the prescription
He turned and walked towards the door to get the medicine he had brought.
Hearing that the Sixth Prince was likely pregnant, Wen Shichu brought along any usable medicinal herbs.
The Sixth Prince took a liking to him at first sight; it's best to avoid contact with others after getting to know the Sixth Prince.
The next day, news that the Sixth Prince had chosen to avoid the Yanxi Palace spread quickly throughout the inner palace.
When Big Fat Orange woke up early in the morning, he saw Su Peisheng looking solemn.
The chubby orange-haired man frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Su Peisheng, what's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Has something serious happened?"
Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng immediately knelt down with a thud and replied tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The Sixth Prince somehow contracted smallpox, and Yanxi Palace is now closed to prevent the spread of the disease.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat's expression changed drastically, its face filled with astonishment.
His eyes widened, and he said incredulously:
"He was perfectly fine yesterday, how could he suddenly be pregnant? What exactly happened?"
Having said that, he was extremely anxious and immediately set off for Yanxi Palace.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The time for court is approaching. If you go to Yanxi Palace now, you may miss the morning court session.
Moreover, smallpox is unlike any other disease; a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat stopped in his tracks. He stood there, caught in a fierce internal struggle.
On one hand, his beloved son's life was in danger.
On the other hand, there are national affairs that need to be addressed.
Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, the chubby orange took a deep breath.
He slowly turned around and instructed Su Peisheng:
"By imperial decree, all physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy must immediately devote all their efforts to treating the Sixth Prince, without the slightest negligence!"
After I finish the court session, I will go to Yanxi Palace to visit you as soon as possible.
They also instructed the women of the harem not to go out and move around, to prevent the spread of smallpox.
Su Peisheng hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "This servant obeys the decree!"
He then hurriedly left to carry out the emperor's orders.
Fucha Peiyun stood guard by Hongchang's bedside, her eyes filled with worry.
Every now and then, she would gently reach out and carefully check her son's temperature.
Ye Lanyi, standing to the side, kept busy.
She was holding a damp handkerchief in her hand.
She would gently wipe Hongchang's forehead and cheeks from time to time to help lower his body temperature.
Meanwhile, Ye Lanyi's mind was not idle either.
I've been pondering what caused the Sixth Prince to contract smallpox.
Suddenly, Ye Lanyi's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Her eyes lit up instantly.
Ye Lanyi quickly turned to Fucha Peiyun and said:
"Your Majesty, after careful recollection, I..."
This servant thinks the problem probably lies with the prince's quarters.
Think about it, the Sixth Prince fell ill after moving into the Princes' Residence. Before that...
The Sixth Prince has always been healthy and energetic!
When they entered the prince's residence, the servants prepared the courtyard where the prince would be staying.
But I've checked it thoroughly inside and out many times.
Nothing or any signs that could possibly cause the illness could be found.
Therefore, it is highly likely that something has happened to the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince.
Upon hearing Ye Lanyi's words, Fucha Peiyun was startled, and her expression became somewhat serious.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, staring intently at Ye Lanyi, and asked:
"You mean... someone among the other princes is deliberately trying to harm my child?"
Ye Lanyi quickly nodded and answered cautiously:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant is merely making a guess based on the current situation."
After all, the place where the prince resides is crowded and chaotic, with a rather diverse population.
If there are truly malicious individuals who want to do bad things in secret,
It's entirely possible to do something secretly.
Fucha Peiyun clenched her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, and said hatefully:
"Hmph! If anyone dares to harm my precious son, I will never let him off easily!"
No matter who it is, even if it costs me everything, I will find this person and punish them severely!
The Fucha family behind me is no pushover now.
Just then, Ye'er carefully carried in a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup.
The rich aroma of medicine instantly filled the entire room.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready. Sixth Prince can take it now," Ye'er said softly.
Fucha Peiyun quickly stood up, stretched out her hands, and steadily took the bowl of medicine that was still steaming.
She slowly walked to the bedside and gently sat on the edge of the bed.
Then, using a spoon, I scooped up a small spoonful of the medicine, brought it to my lips, and gently blew on it.
Just as she brought it to Hongchang's lips, she said softly:
"Here, drink this medicine and you'll feel better."
Hongchang obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine little by little.
Hongchang was in good health, and this was the first time he had ever drunk such bitter medicine.
Stimulated by the bitter medicine, Hongchang felt his muddled mind clear up considerably.
His eyes, which had been somewhat dim, gradually regained their luster, and he seemed to be in much better spirits than before.
Hongchang frowned, but did not call out to Ruo.
Seeing Fucha Peiyun's worried expression, the sensible Hongchang spoke up to comfort her:
"Mother, don't worry, I feel much better now."
Hearing her son say this, Fucha Peiyun's eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.
But she still forced a smile and nodded, holding back her tears.
Fucha Peiyun knew that Hongchang had never taken bitter medicine before, so she quickly gave him some candied fruit.
After Hongchang ate it, he felt that the bitterness in his mouth had lessened considerably.
