Chapter 332
Concubine Wan's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
"The Empress is willing to help, and I am assured."
As instructed, Qingying placed the Sixth Prince on the bed and personally opened the heavy swaddling clothes.
He then signaled Shunxin to bring hot water to soak the handkerchief.
With one hand she wiped the Sixth Prince's forehead, and with the other she quietly took the child's pulse.
After a moment, the tension between his brows dissipated.
At this moment, the imperial physician hurried in following Bao Ping.
Hongli raised his hand and waived the greetings. "Forget it, don't worry about these empty formalities. Let's show it to Sixth Prince quickly."
After answering, Zhang Xun hurried forward.
Qingying made way, but in just a short moment, Zhang Xun got the result.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a question for you, Your Majesty Wan."
Since the matter involves the Sixth Prince, how could Concubine Wan refuse?
"Doctor Zhang, if you have anything to ask, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know!"
"Yes, I dare to say that the Sixth Prince is still being nursed. I wonder if he has used anything else today?"
Concubine Wan frowned. "Other things? The Sixth Prince just turned one month old. How could he need anything else? There's nothing else!"
"That's strange..."
Zhang Xun murmured, then added, "I've heard that the wet nurses of the young masters in the palace have specific food regulations. Is this true?"
Concubine Wan's expression changed slightly.
Is this suspicion directed at the wet nurse?
"What Imperial Doctor Zhang said is correct. To ensure the health of the princes and princesses, the wet nurses usually eat very light food. The Sixth Prince's wet nurse is naturally the same."
After Concubine Wan finished speaking, Qingying suddenly spoke.
"Doctor Zhang, why don't you prescribe a prescription for the Sixth Prince first? The child's fever must be reduced first. As for the rest, the Emperor is here and will not let the Sixth Prince and Concubine Wan suffer any injustice."
"The minister obeys the order."
Bao Ping took Zhang Xun downstairs to write a prescription.
Qingying reached out and touched the Sixth Prince again.
It no longer feels as hot as before.
He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Hongli, only to see that he still had no intention of speaking.
Qingying wrung the handkerchief in her hand again and gently wiped the Sixth Prince's face, then spoke again.
"Concubine Wan, I'm curious. The Sixth Prince is so ill, and you and Shunxin are the only ones in the palace? Where is the Sixth Prince's wet nurse? Could she be dead?"
Qingying looked calm, but her tone was quite stern.
Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
His knees went weak and he knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble concubine..."
Seeing that she couldn't stand up like this, Qingying was naturally angry at her for not fighting back.
"Well, you don't need to say anything more. Xiuxia, pass on my order and have the servants of Yonghe Palace kneel outside the main hall immediately."
Then she looked at Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid I need to borrow someone from the imperial court."
Hongli said gloomily, "You are thinking about the child, so naturally you should do everything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qingying responded and handed the handkerchief to Concubine Wan.
She stood up and said, "Watch your own son carefully. I will only do this once. But if you still can't stand up in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the Sixth Prince by your side anymore."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care how Concubine Wan's expression changed. He supported惢心 and walked out.
Xiuxia moved very quickly.
However, in the short moment when these three or two sentences were spoken, several people were already kneeling on the ground outside the main hall.
There was no need to have someone bring a chair; Qingying looked even more imposing just by standing there.
He took a quick glance and asked, "Where is the Sixth Prince's wet nurse?"
As soon as the words fell, two middle-aged women in the back row, whose clothes were still a little disheveled, responded in unison, "Your servants pay their respects to the Empress."
"Come here, shut them up, take them aside, and give them twenty lashes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people kneeling on the ground began to tremble.
What he meant was that he wanted to punish the Sixth Prince's two wet nurses in front of all the servants in Yonghe Palace.
Although the cause of the Sixth Prince's high fever has not yet been determined, Zhang Xun's words have allowed Qingying to guess some of the truth.
