Chapter 353: Confinement of Lady Qi
"Why is Seventh Prince coughing so badly? Have you seen the imperial physician and prescribed any medicine?" The emperor came to Yongshou Palace for dinner. He hadn't seen Seventh Prince for a long time, so the emperor's imperial physician asked him to come and have dinner together.
"Imperial Physician Qin has come to see you. It's just a cough caused by a cold. It will be fine after a few days of rest." Although Ling Rong was a little worried, she couldn't be too impolite in front of the emperor.
"Call the imperial physician." The emperor looked at the Seventh Prince and felt very worried, so he asked Su Peisheng to call the imperial physician to take another look.
After Doctor Qin arrived, he found the Seventh Prince and took his pulse. Currently, the only sick young master in Yongshou Palace was the Seventh Prince, so there was no need to hesitate about who to choose to take his pulse.
"Your Majesty, judging from the pulse, the patient has yin deficiency and excess fire. Has the Seventh Prince taken his medicine properly? Has he followed any dietary restrictions? The symptoms have not improved, but have worsened." Imperial Physician Qin frowned. He had already told Concubine Xian about the taboos, and Eunuch Zhang had also asked about the foods to avoid. This shouldn't be the case, right?
"Doctor Qin, has the Seventh Prince been taking his medicine well recently?" Nanny Xiao knew the most about the issue of taking medicine.
"Doctor, take a look at this," Juqing pointed at the dinner on the table and showed it to Doctor Qin.
Looking in the direction Juqing pointed, Doctor Qin's eyes turned black. He didn't listen at all!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has the Seventh Prince eaten all the food here?"
"I've tried most of them, like the pumpkin and brown rice porridge, the garlic cucumber, and the shrimp and egg cake, which is the Seventh Prince's favorite."
After hearing Juqing's words, Doctor Qin was helpless. These were all things that the Seventh Prince couldn't eat!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince did not follow any dietary restrictions, but his condition worsened. This is not good. He must avoid sweet, salty, fishy and spicy foods." Imperial Physician Qin suddenly remembered that Eunuch Zhang had asked him about the Seventh Prince's dietary restrictions, but the Seventh Prince did not follow any of them. He didn't know whether it was Concubine Xian's idea or the Emperor's.
There were too many schemes in the deep palace, and he didn't want to get involved no matter what the reason was. He shook his head helplessly and said goodbye.
"Your Majesty, you are very busy, so don't worry. I will take care of Seventh Prince myself." Although Lingrong smiled gently and warmly, she kept cursing the man in her heart. It was obvious enough that someone was attacking your son.
The emperor gently stroked Lingrong's hair and said soothingly, "Well, you don't have to worry. Children are prone to many disasters and will grow up to be strong and healthy."
He glanced at Su Peisheng seriously from an angle where Lingrong couldn't see. Sure enough, the person who understood the emperor best in the entire Forbidden City was Su Peisheng, with whom he grew up.
The emperor's glance was enough for him to know what he had to do. He quietly left the palace and began his investigation from Yongshou Palace, investigating everyone who had anything to do with the Seventh Prince without exception.
At night, the emperor quietly walked out of the bedroom. Su Peisheng, who was guarding the door, woke up the moment the emperor opened the door. He turned around and saw the emperor walking out with a gloomy face.
"emperor,"
"What's the result?"
"I have checked and it is Concubine Qi from Chuxiu Palace. According to Xiu'er from Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Qi is dissatisfied with Concubine Xian's great favor and has long wanted to make things difficult for Concubine Xian. When her personal maid went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect her monthly allowance, she heard Zhang Qilin mention that the Seventh Prince had a cough when he was sending the imperial physician. She wanted the Seventh Prince to recover more slowly so that Concubine Xian would have to concentrate on taking care of the Seventh Prince and would not have the time to compete for favor." Su Peisheng reported the results of the investigation to the emperor slowly, choosing only the nice things to say, as if she not only hoped that the Seventh Prince would recover, but also wanted to take this opportunity to injure his throat so that he could not speak again.
Of course, the emperor was not a fool. Just because Su Peisheng didn't say it didn't mean he couldn't hear it.
"Tomorrow, you will personally convey the imperial decree to strip her of her title and confine her to house arrest for six months."
