At this moment, a palace maid suddenly came to report that Concubine Ru's child was not well!

"What's wrong? What happened?" Song Qingwan asked

The palace maid replied, "It's bad, young lady. I heard that Concubine Ru's child had a high fever for several days in a row. At first, I thought it was just a common cold, but the high fever and convulsions have not subsided. Now all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have gone there!"

Song Qingwan felt as if her heart was suddenly struck. Although it was not her child, she couldn't help but sympathize with the child when she heard that the child had a high fever.

"okay, I get it."

"Yes." The palace maid said, and then retreated.

After the palace maid left, Haitang was puzzled and said, "Why is the high fever not going away when he is fine? Concubine Ru has always loved the little prince like a treasure..."

Yingcan said, "No matter how much she loves him, she can't do anything about the little prince's illness. But if Concubine Kang knew, she would probably be heartbroken."

"Yes, after all, it's my own flesh and blood. As a mother, how can I bear to see my child get sick? I wish I could suffer for it." Song Qingwan sighed

Jiahe Palace

The entire Jiahe Palace was in chaos. The imperial doctors had different opinions. The little prince was still young and was a premature baby, so they did not dare to use large doses of medicine. However, small doses were not enough to stop the high fever.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, why don't you think of a solution? My son's body is burning hot. What if he gets burned?" Concubine Ru held the child and walked around the room to comfort him.

"Wa! Wa! Wa! Wa!" the little prince cried loudly.

The imperial doctors looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

"Speak up! Are you all dumb? If the little prince is burned, I will hold you responsible!" Rupin said

"Madam Ru, you may want to increase the dosage, but this will increase the side effects and may cause other problems in your body..." said one of the doctors.

Upon hearing this, Rupin said immediately, "What? The high fever can't be cured, and my little prince is going to have other problems! You old bastards should let the emperor take off all the things on your necks!"

"Please forgive me, Concubine Ru..." The imperial doctors bowed their heads and begged for mercy.

At this time, the Queen also rushed over and looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, the anxious Concubine Ru, and the crying little prince.

"How is it? Has the fever subsided?" asked the Queen.

"To answer the Queen, no! I am so anxious! Look at them, what's the point of keeping them!" Rupin pointed at the imperial physician on the ground and said

The queen asked, "Don't you have any good ideas? What should we do if the little prince becomes confused due to the fever?"

The imperial physician replied, "Your Majesty, the prince is too young and was born prematurely. We cannot prescribe medicine. If we are not careful, there will be irreversible consequences..."

Another imperial physician said, "Yes, normally a child will not get sick within six months, but for some reason the little prince..." After saying that, he looked at Concubine Ru guiltily.

Rupin immediately retorted, "What do you mean? Are you blaming me? I don't want the little prince to get sick any more than anyone else!"

The Queen said, "Okay, Rupin, stop talking. The Emperor will be here soon."

Yanxi Palace

Ying'er also heard the news and said to Concubine Qing, "Your Majesty! I heard that Concubine Ru's child is not well! She has a high fever and the emperor and the queen have passed away!"

After hearing this, Concubine Qing said worriedly, "What? The child is so young, and he has to suffer such a hardship... It's really heartbreaking..."

Ying'er sighed, "As expected, premature babies are always troublesome. The little prince looks chubby on weekdays, but it turns out he is just bloated."

Concubine Qing stopped her and said, "Ying'er! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes..." Ying'er had no choice but to shut up.

"I am going to Baohua Palace now to pray for the little prince and ask the Buddha to bless him and hope he gets better soon." Concubine Qing said as she was about to stand up.

Although her master didn't allow her to say anything, seeing her trying to get involved, Ying'er couldn't help but say, "Madam! You haven't recovered yet! Madam!"

Concubine Qing said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you to stop talking? Come with me now!"

Ying'er whispered, "Your Majesty... Even if you go to Baohua Palace and pray for the little prince, no one will know your kindness. In my opinion, Your Majesty, you might as well go to Jiahe Palace to let the Emperor and the Empress know your kindness..."

Concubine Qing said, "There is already an imperial physician in Jiahe Palace. Even if I go, it will be useless. It is better to go to Baohua Palace and chant scriptures and pray for the little prince."

Seeing that Concubine Qing was determined to do so, Ying'er had no choice but to follow. "Well then... I will go with you."

Concubine Qing packed up and set out on her journey with Ying'er. As they walked, many people passed by them.

Ying'er looked at the people and suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't we send a sedan chair? After all, you are a concubine and have the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, but you have to walk everywhere. And Rupin is a concubine like Your Majesty, but she has never walked a few steps."

Concubine Qing said, "You don't understand. Sincerity is the key to success! I am here to ask for the Buddha's blessing. How can I be lazy and act cunningly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ying'er knew that her majesty was always stubborn and could not be persuaded, so she did not mention it again.

When passing by Chengping Palace, Ling Xiangxiang happened to be standing outside the door. Seeing Concubine Qing coming, she bowed politely.

"Your concubine pays respect to Concubine Qing." Ling Xiangxiang said

Concubine Qing looked around subconsciously. "Are you alone? Isn't Concubine Kang here?"

Ling Xiangxiang said casually, "Oh, Concubine Kang, she is in there."

Concubine Qing said, "Well, I'm in a hurry to go to Baohua Palace to chant sutras and pray for blessings, so I won't talk to you for now."

"Pray for blessings?" Ling Xiangxiang asked doubtfully.

Concubine Qing said, "It seems that Concubine Ling doesn't know. The fifth prince has a high fever and frequent convulsions. The emperor, empress, and half of the imperial hospital have gone to Jiahe Palace. I also want to do something for the little prince."

Then he looked at his bandaged arm and said, "But I'm injured and can't do anything. I can only go to Baohua Palace to chant scriptures and pray for the Fifth Prince to get better soon."

After hearing this, Ling Xiangxiang was shocked and said, "What! The little prince is so seriously ill!"

"Yes, I'm leaving first." After saying this, Concubine Qing left in a hurry.

"Yes, I respectfully send off Concubine Qing." Ling Xiangxiang said

After bidding farewell to Concubine Qing, Ling Xiangxiang trotted all the way to the West Side Hall, shouting, "Zuo Wenyi! Zuo Wenyi! It's bad! Your child is sick!"

Zuo Wenyi was resting in the house. After hearing Ling Xiangxiang's words, he immediately sat up and ran out.

"What? What happened to my child? What did you just say?"

Ling Xiangxiang relayed, "I heard from Concubine Qing that your child has a high fever and is having frequent convulsions. You should go to Jiahe Palace to check it out!"

"Ah! My child!" Zuo Wenyi ran out of the door in panic, muttering, "This Rupin, she is not my biological mother, she can't take care of my child at all! I want to take my child back!"
