Chapter 364 Princess's Skirt 10
A group of people took the little princess from Shen Qingzhou and ran away with her. Only the exhausted Shen Qingzhou sat on the ground, panting, and looked up at the place where the little princess left.
A heavy rain in late summer disrupted the peaceful lives of many people.
It disrupted many people's plans.
Everything started differently from this heavy rain.
The Empress Dowager had to stay in the palace for this summer vacation, so she did not come. Princess Chenxiang came with the Emperor. She usually played behind the twelfth prince Li Luan, while her sleeping arrangements were left to Concubine Rong.
No one knew what happened this time. The little princess neither went to find her brother Li Luan, nor was she in Concubine Rong's palace. She didn't even have a personal maid by her side. She just disappeared so suddenly.
When all the palaces were turned upside down by Rong Fei and Li Luan and no one was found, the little princess was finally brought back from the lotus lake in the back garden.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the little princess who was found was convulsing all over and unconscious, and it seemed that her life was in danger.
At this time, Li Luan and Concubine Rong were kneeling outside the Qinghua Palace, hoping that the little princess would wake up as soon as possible.
Emperor Wuchang was standing by the bed, and all the imperial doctors brought from the palace were kneeling on the ground.
"What's going on? Why is Gu Li'er crying out in pain but can't wake up? Judge Zhang, tell me!"
An imperial physician who was kneeling a little in front stood up slightly, not daring to look at the princess who was lying on the dragon bed with a fever and had already started talking nonsense.
He replied with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the princess caught a cold in the rain, which caused a high fever. As long as, as long as the princess's fever can be reduced, then -"
"Then why is she crying out in pain?"
The little girl was in so much pain that she kept crying and shaking all over, which made the emperor, who was used to being serious, couldn't help but soften his heart.
Zhang Yuanpan also found it strange. If she said her foot hurt, it could be because she sprained her ankle and it was inevitable to feel pain. But the princess kept holding her chest and crying in pain.
After repeated examinations by the maids, it was confirmed that the little princess had no external injuries on her chest, and a pulse examination showed no signs of any heart disease.
Judge Zhang answered honestly: "The princess is still young, and the fever may cause body aches. I will prescribe a medicine to relieve it----"
"Then hurry up!" the emperor was angry, "Come, wipe the princess's face and apply some makeup to her eyes."
Judge Zhang quickly stood up and went out to write a prescription.
When the eunuch chief Li Lin saw the emperor stand up, he quickly signaled for the palace servants to come closer to serve the little princess. He helped the emperor up and carefully reminded him, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong and the twelfth prince are still kneeling outside!"
The emperor seemed not to hear anything, his eyes always on his weak and pitiful little daughter on the bed.
Knowing that the emperor was angry, Li Lin still boldly reminded: "Your Majesty, it is still raining outside. If the twelfth prince and Concubine Rong are also sick, wouldn't it be----"
The emperor knew what Li Lin meant, frowned and growled, "Let them go back to their own palaces and kneel down to reflect on themselves."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Twelve roll in. Let him see what his sister, who followed him around and called him "brother" all day long, looks like now!"
The original plan to return to the palace the next day was delayed because Princess Chenxiang had a high fever and fell into a coma.
Two days later, Princess Chenxiang, who could only be fed some soup, finally had a fever that subsided, but she never woke up.
The Empress, who received the news, sent someone to take the princess back to the palace for recuperation. The Emperor, whose journey had been delayed for several days, then officially announced his departure for Beijing.
It took two and a half days to get from the palace to the imperial city, and the entire team walked in silence.
When they stepped into the city gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor was very angry because the princess had not yet woken up. The families of the accompanying ministers all kept their children under strict control, telling them not to make any noise or to avoid offending the emperor and causing trouble.
When Shen Qingzhou's family came to pick him up, he thought about it carefully many times, but he could not remember any memory of Princess Chenxiang being unconscious in the palace.
Could it be that I never paid attention to Her Royal Highness the Princess in my previous life, so I didn't care about this news?
But he had also been to the palace with his mother in his previous life. If the matter was so serious, it was impossible for him not to have any impression of it.
Could it be that something he did after his rebirth changed the course of this life?
He had just recovered his memories of his previous life and was in the palace. He found a secret place to hide and slowly digest his memories.
The overwhelming amount of memories made his head hurt, and the pain from the arrow wound had not yet subsided, so he fainted in the garden.
Shen Qingzhou was awakened by the heavy raindrops, and then he heard loud crying in the distance.
He hid aside and saw the little princess sitting on the ground crying heartbreakingly. After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming, he went out.
Did he hesitate for too long, causing the little princess to be exposed to the rain for too long? Or did he hinder the palace servants who could have discovered the little princess was alone earlier?
Even after watching the emperor's guard of honor enter the palace, Shen Qingzhou still hadn't received any news about the little princess's improvement.
Princess Chenxiang was taken by the Queen Mother to a side hall in Fengyi Palace, where the Queen Mother stayed by her bedside to look after her day and night.
Every day after court, the emperor would come in person to see how the princess was doing. After having lunch with the empress, he would return to Minghua Palace to review memorials.
Seeing that the little princess had been in a coma for six days and had refused to eat or drink and had only been fed water and medicine, she was likely not going to survive. The queen's eyes were red from staying up all the time.
She truly loved Chenxiang. Seeing the little girl, who had been chubby because of her care, now lying on the bed so skinny that only a bag of bones was left, she couldn't stop crying.
The twelfth prince who had been staying in the palace saw this and knelt at the queen's feet with red eyes and called her softly: "Mother, it's my fault. I was so playful that I didn't notice when my sister disappeared."
"Before leaving, Mother repeatedly reminded you to take good care of Little Thirteen. How come you can't remember? You've disappointed Mother so much."
Li Luan is six years older than the little princess and is only thirteen this year. He has seen how his father has been treating him badly these days. He gritted his teeth and looked at his unconscious sister on the bed and said, "It's all my fault. If my sister can't be saved, then I won't live either."
"You----" The queen pointed at her son and was so angry that she felt dizzy. "You are all my children. Are you trying to kill me?"
"It is indeed your fault, but Xiao Shisan does not need to pay for it with your life!" The emperor strode in without the palace servants' notification.
"Your Majesty!" The queen wiped away her tears and quickly stood up.
The emperor, who had come in the morning, was still worried and came again in the afternoon.
