Dongxie followed, pushing her wheelchair, and whispered, âHis Majesty does not allow the emperorâs eldest grandson to live outside.â
âLetâs take him back first.â
âThatâs right.â
Dongxie pushed her to the East Palace.
However, Ms. Ma kept making excuses, sometimes saying that the emperorâs eldest grandson had gone to study, sometimes saying that he was feeling unwell from getting a chill yesterday, but in any case, she would not let her see Xiaoqian.
âWhy not come back in a few days when the emperorâs eldest grandson is fully recovered, and Princess Consort of Yu can pick him up, or I can send someone to escort him here?â Ms. Ma said with a smile on her face.
This only made Jiang Ning more suspicious.
But she was not someone who could be easily deterred by a few words.
âPrincess Consort, I am here under the Emperorâs orders to take the emperorâs eldest grandson. If this continues, I am afraid I will have to ask His Majesty to come here himself,â Jiang Ning said.
Ms. Ma frowned and then laughed, âI told you, the emperorâs eldest grandson has caught a cold, and taking him out now might make his condition worse. If anything happens to such a young child, can you, Princess Consort of Yu, bear the responsibility?â
âI can.â Jiang Ning said calmly, âDoes the Princess Consort have any other concerns?â
âSince Princess Consort of Yu has said so, I have nothing more to say.â Ms. Maâs face turned cold, and she stepped aside.
Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair past Ms. Ma and said coldly, âNo matter what position you hold, never lose your conscience. Otherwise, be careful of any retribution!â
Ms. Maâs face changed slightly, but she still maintained her smile, as if she didnât hear anything.
Upon arriving at Li Tingqianâs residence, it was cold and deserted.
Deshan at the entrance attempted to stop them, but Xiaoman took a step forward and brandished her fist.
Deshan felt a chill down his neck and retreated silently.
Jiang Ning entered Li Tingqianâs room and saw him lying on the bed, his face pale and his lips white, but his cheeks were flushed red.
She touched his forehead and found it burning hot.
She was shocked.
How could the child who was fine just yesterday have become like this overnight?
âSomeone!â She yelled with both alarm and anger, âYou servants guarding the door, come here!â
She was calling for Deshan.
Deshan reluctantly entered, wary of Xiaomanâs fist.
Jiang Ning pointed at Xiaoqian and asked, âWhat happened to the emperorâs eldest grandson?â
Deshan looked guilty and evasive, âHe got a chill from the wind yesterday.â
âHe has a fever, and you didnât call for the Imperial Physician? And thereâs no one here to take care of him?â
âI havenât had the chance toâ¦â
âScoundrel!â Jiang Ning picked up a teacup and smashed it on his face, âYou dog, is this how you serve the emperorâs eldest grandson? Iâll report this to the Emperor and have you skinned alive!â
âPrincess Consort of Yu, the servant has been wronged!â
âYouâre finished. Once I find out the truth, nobody related to this will get away.â Jiang Ning said coldly, and ordered Xiaoman, âHold the emperorâs eldest grandson and letâs go home! Dongxie, hold the umbrella to keep the sun off him.â
The two servants with her in the East Palace, left with the emperorâs eldest grandson in full view of everyone.
Jiang Ning was furious.
She originally planned to take Xiaoqian to see the Emperor and complain.
But on second thoughts, the childâs burning fever needed to be treated first.
The back-and-forth and quarrels with the Crown Princeâs consort would only hurt the child.
She took Xiaoqian directly back to the Prince of Yuâs Mansion and summoned the two doctors she had hired to treat him.
These two doctors had been found by Jiang Ning after moving to the Prince of Yuâs Mansion, and she had paid a large sum to keep them on staff, specializing in pediatrics. They were usually not needed, so they were only asked to read and study and go out to treat the commoners for free to improve their skills.
As doctors, they needed to practice, seeing various cases to gain experience.
They were arguably more skilled in pediatrics than the Imperial Physicians in the palace.
Efficiently, they took Xiaoqianâs pulse, prescribed a formula, and prepared the medicine.
After taking the medicine for a short while, Xiaoqianâs fever began to subside..
