While the two were talking, another maid, Nuan Yu, came in and said respectfully:

"Princess, son-in-law, the empress has sent someone here."

As soon as Mu Xianyi heard it, she knew that the queen was doing something for show - her eldest daughter did something scandalous and framed herself, and ended up ruined and demoted to a commoner. The queen hated herself in her heart, but she had to do it on the surface Showing that she is heartbroken and caring about herself, otherwise, how can her reputation as a "virtuous queen" still stand?

Mu Xianyi didn't want to look at her pretentious appearance, so she hurriedly said to Ling Xuetang: "My son-in-law, this empress has come to my side to show off, I don't want to make false promises to her people, so you can Say I fell asleep, and just send her away."

Ling Xuetang was amused and helpless, and said, "Well, I'll just go and dismiss it."

Said, got up and went out.

Seeing him go out, Mu Xianyi pulled the brocade quilt and fell asleep. He listened intently to the movement outside, until he heard the sound outside, then sat up and made a gesture to Nuan Yu who was standing beside him. A wink: "Quick, quick, pour me water, I want to drink water."

"Yes." Nuan Yu quickly poured hot water and brought it over.

Mu Xianyi was drinking hot water when he saw Ling Xuetang lift the heavy curtain and come in. He moved very lightly, probably because he was afraid of getting into the wind, so he threw himself at Mu Xianyi. Mu Xianyi saw him coming in like a drill , it was both funny and heartwarming, and said: "How, who did the queen send?"

"Aunt Qingsu, who is beside the queen, even brought a basket of fruit. She said it was lychees and peaches that were never available in winter, and she brought them specially for you. I'm afraid she has no good intentions..."

Mu Xianyi knew what he meant as soon as he heard it, and quickly interrupted him: "Don't, don't, hurry up and ask someone to bring it back for me and don't throw it away!"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Ling Xuetang let out a "puchi" laugh.

Mu Xianyi suddenly realized that he was making fun of himself, blushed, and said in disbelief: "Lychees and peaches are so rare in winter, I'm just afraid of being violent!"

Ling Xuetang also pierced through his foodie's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I also know that the empress is eager to show off, and she must pick the best things that suit your appetite to please you, how can she poison you? I asked someone to wash it, and I used the food later, so I peeled it for you to eat."

"Okay!" As soon as Mu Xianyi heard that there was something to eat, she immediately stopped worrying about anything, and smiled directly at Ling Xuetang with her face up.

It was originally agreed that I would go out for a walk the next day, but last night Mu Xianyi discussed with Ling Xuetang where to go, but this morning, Mu Xianyi's condition worsened. , Mu Xianyi is prone to drowsiness when he has a fever. After eating breakfast in the morning, he has no interest in going out at all, and fell asleep again.

Ling Xuetang only thought that the two of them slept late last night, and Mu Xianyi caught a cold again. Although she was anxious, she didn't ask the imperial doctor to come again, but who knew that on the third day, her condition got worse, and Mu Xianyi's whole body People are extremely hot, as if on fire, let alone get up and walk around, they will be unconscious at all.Now Ling Xuetang panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Kong Simiao, and said to the servant:

"Even if he is too sick to get up, he has to be carried by me!"

The subordinates did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly invited Kong Simiao.

Seeing Ling Xuetang's gloomy face, Kong Simiao didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward to check Mu Xianyi's pulse, but after a long time of consultation, he couldn't find anything. In winter, Kong Simiao's forehead was sweating, He touched his forehead with his sleeve to wipe off the sweat, then cupped his hands at Ling Xuetang and said:

"My son-in-law, the old minister is incompetent and can't diagnose anything abnormal. How is the princess's diet and medication these days?"

Ling Xuetang told him in detail Mu Xianyi's diet and medication for the past two days, even the lychees and peaches sent by the queen, although he ate them himself.

Kong Simiao frowned, his face full of doubts: "The diet and medicine are all normal, how could it make the condition worse...Could it be that the princess went out for a walk yesterday?"

Ling Xuetang shook his head: "No. Originally, he planned to go outside, but his condition worsened and he was very lethargic, so he didn't go." As he spoke, he remembered what happened to Tan Yuanshan before, and couldn't help being suspicious, and asked, "Then When Ri Tan's imperial doctor came, he gave me an extra dose of medicine, saying it was Xiangwan, is it Xiangwan..."

Kong Simiao waved his hand: "I know about the incense pills, there will be no problem."

Unable to find the problem, Ling Xuetang's complexion became even uglier, her brows were furrowed, her lips were pursed into a straight line: "Then you should prescribe the medicine first, the most important thing is to stop the momentum of this disease."

Kong Simiao was also helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "It's okay, the old minister will open the pharmacy first, and then study it later, how could this happen."

Ling Xuetang nodded, and raised her face towards Luan Jing, and Luan Jing sent Kong Simiao out.

The room returned to tranquility again, the desk by the window still had the unfinished chess game from the day before, the sun shone in through the window screen and fell on the floor tiles, but it was as cold as frost.Mu Xianyi lay quietly on the bed, her little face was flushed red, probably because of physical discomfort, she slept very restlessly, her brows were still frowning in her sleep, and her little mouth was puckered from time to time.

Ling Xuetang looked at him silently, and clenched her hands that were hanging by her clothes.

It is already the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Every household in the capital city is happily preparing for the new year, but the government of Zhen Guo is not at all happy for the new year—Mu Xianyi has been seriously ill for the third day, and after drinking the medicine, it doesn't seem to improve at all.

Ling Xuetang stayed by his bedside, almost daring not to leave for a moment.

He did not allow the news of Mu Xianyi's serious illness to be spread by his subordinates, for fear that if it spread to the palace, Concubine Chen would be sad if she found out.

Lou Yuzhang came to play chess with Mu Xianyi yesterday, and found out about the news by chance. Although he promised not to say anything, he didn't know if he would tell Lou's family.

"Master, the person you asked your subordinates to invite has arrived!"

Zhou Mian's voice came from outside, Ling Xuetang was startled, she got up quickly and went out, and as soon as she went out, she saw a young woman in a cloak standing at the door, smiling at herself:

"General Ling, is there a time for a little girl?"

Ling Xuetang didn't care about dealing with her, so she quickly opened the curtain sideways and said, "Come in quickly, and go see how the princess is doing."

The woman didn't say much, she smiled, nodded, and hurried in.

Ling Xuetang was about to put down the curtain and turn around, but saw a person standing beside Zhou Mian. Looking carefully, it was Bai Yu. Seeing that he was also dusty, his complexion was much better than before, and his eyes looked straight into it, with a look of worry and anxiety .He asked, "You went too?"

Only then did Bai Yu's eyes fall on his face, and she nodded: "Yes. As I said, I will repay her."

Ling Xuetang only glanced at him, didn't speak, let down the curtain, turned and went in.
