Gu Shaoyu touched her burning body, anxiously asking for the imperial physician from the palace.

When the imperial physician came over, Aunt Cui stopped him and whispered, "When you check Madam's pulse, feel it and see if it's slippery."

The imperial physician understood as soon as he heard it. Was he thinking that the wife might be pregnant?

He immediately nodded carefully: "Don't worry, I will use the medicine carefully."

The imperial physician took the patient's pulse, wrote out a prescription, filled the bowl with the medicine, and boiled it in the yard.

At night, Xie Zhaozhao was already a little dazed. Gu Shaoyu gave her medicine to drink, but she just made "mmm" sounds in response and didn't have the strength to get up.

Gu Shaoyu became anxious and fed the baby little by little with a spoon, coaxing him as he fed.

Manman was very anxious and sad at first, but later, Gu Shaoyu's voice, which was like coaxing a child, alleviated her discomfort a lot.

He quietly stepped back, found some rock honey, and waited for Gu Shaoyu to feed her the medicine, then stuffed the rock honey into her mouth.

Gu Shaoyu stopped him: "Don't feed it, your teeth will be ruined."

Xie Zhaozhao was sleeping soundly. Gu Shaoyu was sitting beside her reading a book and watching over Xie Zhaozhao. Manman was also watching not far away.

Gu Shaoyu asked Manman to go to bed, but Manman refused.

The young lady is sick and she must stay with her.

At Chou time, Xie Zhaozhao started sweating and the heat in his body dissipated a lot.

Gu Shaoyu wiped her sweat with a dry towel, helped her drink a bowl of warm water, and told her to go back to sleep.

Xie Zhaozhao's fever didn't completely subside, but he felt a little better after taking the medicine, but he still felt very hot.

Gu Shaoyu was anxious and kept applying cold water to the wound with a towel.

At the hour of Mao, he wrote a letter to Bei Chen, asking him to go to the palace to ask for leave, saying that he was sick.

Bei Chen looked strange.

This is the first time that the elder has asked for leave due to illness since he entered the government.

He had to remind: "Lord, this reason may cause a big reaction, and His Majesty may come to visit in person."

After all, I have never taken a leave due to illness. If I took a leave occasionally, others would think I was terminally ill.

Gu Shaoyu was silent for a moment, but out of concern he decided to go and ask for leave himself.

He stood up and said to Manman, "You take care of the lady first and give her another dose of medicine later. I'll go check in and come back as soon as possible."

Manman said, "I have stewed some tofu pudding on the stove. Please have a bowl before you go. I will take care of you here."

At noon, Mrs. Lu heard that Xie Zhaozhao was sick from fatigue, so she brought some tonics to visit Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao had taken medicine in the morning and was lying down.

Mrs. Lu held her hand and said with red eyes: "Sister-in-law, you saved Huanhuan's life yesterday, and you also saved my life. You are a living Guanyin, and you must be blessed by heaven."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled dazedly and said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you saying such unorthodox words? Huanhuan calls me Third Aunt, cough cough cough..."

I can't cough enough.

Manman quickly patted her on the back and said to Madam Lu, "Second Madam, Madam is ill now. Please go back and wait. I will let you know when Madam is well. Okay?"

Of course, Lu understood that patients don’t have the energy to chat.

She left Xie Zhaozhao's bedroom and came out to help Manman boil the medicine.

"How is my eldest sister? I heard that she is sick?"

Xie Xiangxiang brought her maid Chunling to Qingpuyuan, Chunling was holding a box in her hands.

She handed the box to Manman and said, "Your Highness got some top-quality stone frogs from Jiangnan. They are the best for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Make some for my eldest sister!"

Top-quality stone frogs are rare, so Manman took the stone frog, thanked Xie Xiangxiang, moved a brocade stool for her, and asked her to sit down.

After talking about Xie Zhaozhao's illness for a while, Xie Xiangxiang said casually, "I met Princess Yurong yesterday. She said that she would hold a moon-viewing party at Huanjing Garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and specially invited Lord Gu to try out a newly built pleasure boat."

Xie Zhaozhao's originally gentle and calm smile suddenly disappeared, and she said, "Madam, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Princess Yurong, whose full name was Zhou Dandan, was the prince's full sister.

Her appearance was mostly like that of Queen Wei Yingzi, with an ordinary appearance but an extremely proud figure.

The two lumps on her chest cannot be called lumps, they should be called "piles", but she also has a huge butt.

In terms of curves, no one can surpass her.

Her title was Yurong, but the common people privately called her Roudan Princess.

It’s not just about being fat!

This person has lost all reputation.

At the earliest stage, the candidate for the son-in-law she had her eyes on was the third place winner in the imperial examination in the 15th year of Emperor Huidi. She fell in love with him at first sight and was determined to marry him.

However, the third place winner declined, saying that he was already engaged. Princess Yurong then found the third place winner's parents and forced them to cancel the engagement.

Under pressure, the parents of the third place winner proposed to cancel the engagement with the girl, but they did not expect that the girl was so stubborn that she committed suicide by taking poison.

The scholar cried bitterly, hung himself on a tree with a rope, and followed the woman.

Princess Yurong was furious and took revenge on the parents and brothers of the scholar. She robbed and robbed the whole family of the scholar's future father-in-law, forcing them to hang themselves or jump into a well.

From then on, Princess Yurong's reputation became ruined.

No one was willing to be her husband, and she no longer wanted to look for one. Instead, she followed the example of her aunt, Princess Xiyan, and kept a mansion full of male lovers.

For each lover she particularly liked, she would build a pleasure boat specifically for him.

Now hearing Xie Xiangxiang say that Princess Yurong was targeting Gu Shaoyu, Xie Zhaozhao was obviously furious and kept coughing.

When Xie Xiangxiang heard the words "Shi Zi's wife", she knew Xie Zhaozhao was angry, and said awkwardly: "Don't be angry, I just went to her place to play yesterday, and I think I heard such a sentence, but it may not be true."

"Go back, I'm a little tired."

"Sister, don't be angry. I won't say nonsense anymore. You can stew the stone frog and eat it with other dishes." Xie Xiangxiang said with a guilty look on her face.

"Okay, you're interested."

The sisters still retained some dignity.

After Xie Xiangxiang left, Manman saw her off to the gate.

Xie Xiangxiang smiled and told her: "Eldest sister's illness is coming on fiercely. These stone frogs are of very good quality. You should stew them carefully for her to eat. Don't save them either. Eat them as a meal. If they are gone, I will ask the prince to bring some back from Jiangnan."

She said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Crown Prince."

Xie Zhaozhao lay in a daze until noon, when Gu Shaoyu came back.

He washed his hands and face first, then came to her bedside, lifted the curtain, touched her hands, and touched her head.

"It's still very hot." Gu Shaoyu frowned and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Xie Zhaozhao coughed and said, "I ate it. Don't worry, it will only take three or two days anyway."

Gu Shaoyu hurriedly patted her on the back and said, "I've already told Beichen that no one who comes to visit the patient will be allowed in."

Patients need rest the most, and visiting them and talking to them will only make their condition worse.

Xie Zhaozhao was thinking about what Xie Xiangxiang said about Princess Yurong inviting Gu Shaoyu to the pleasure boat, and he felt uncomfortable. He was sick at the time, so he was a little bit capricious.

"Are you familiar with Princess Yurong?"

"The year I passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, the Queen mentioned to Your Majesty that she wanted to marry Princess Yurong to me."
