Dressed as the villain's stepmother

These words hit His Majesty hard in the heart.

Originally, he thought of seeing a miracle from Jiang Lianzhu, but he didn't expect that he and she were helpless. Although His Majesty had always known that the prince was weak, sooner or later such a day would come, but when it really happened, he was heartbroken.

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

His Majesty said gloomily for a while.

"His Royal Highness is now seriously ill. He has a high fever and is unconscious. It is very difficult. The only thing I can do is to ease the pain caused by the illness."

The expectation that cannot be given is to keep deceiving.

As the crown prince, the prince is the foundation of the country, and no matter concerning the prince can be lied. White lies are a serious crime of deceiving the emperor in the royal family.

"It's clear..."

His Majesty seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He looked at the unconscious prince lying on the bed, his eyes full of sorrow.

"Mrs. Liao, please do it. If it can make the lonely prince suffer less, it will be good."

It’s not like His Majesty had not expected today’s scene.

Over the years, he had raised the prince under his knees, hoping that his son could stay in the world for a longer time, but in the end, God failed to fulfill his wish.

The emperor stayed on the bed with all his love for his son. Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu silently withdrew and stopped disturbing him.

His Majesty looked sad, but not surprised. Presumably, he was also aware of the prince's physical condition.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at the sad emperor and thought of his son Liao Xiaoping. He regarded the prince as a good friend. If he knew that the prince would die soon, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"Mrs. Liao, this is the prescription listed by Taiyuan Hospital. Do you think there is anything to add or subtract?"

Imperial Physician Li wrote down the prescriptions developed by many imperial physicians and handed them to Jiang Lianzhu. Like Jiang Lianzhu, they could not cure the prince's serious illness, but if they only needed to relieve the prince's pain, everyone in the imperial hospital could do it.

"Just this recipe."

Jiang Lianzhu took a closer look and saw that there was nothing wrong with the prescriptions given by everyone in the Imperial Hospital.

"Okay, that being the case, let's make the medicine for the prince according to this recipe now."

Jiang Lianzhu was discussing the matter with the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital, and palace officials came with precious medicinal materials.

"Who sent this?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these medicinal materials were ordered by Imperial Concubine Xi to be sent to His Highness the Crown Prince. These medicinal materials are rare items collected from outside by my mother-in-law's family. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will recover from his illness soon."

Fenxiang, the imperial concubine's personal maid, replied respectfully.

"The noble concubine is interested. Please accept it. Madam Liao will see if any of these medicinal materials can be used."

Jiang Lianzhu stepped forward to look at them one by one. The medicinal materials sent by Concubine Xi were indeed valuable, but they were useless for the prince's illness.

These precious medicinal materials are all good medicines for replenishing the body. Unfortunately, the prince's body is already weak and cannot be replenished.

"Even if these medicinal materials are not available, I would like to thank the concubine for her concern for the prince. You can go back and tell the concubine that you will have dinner with her today."

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law is sick, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to pick her up. She didn't come in person today because she was worried about the prince's illness at home because of her illness."

Fenxiang's words made the emperor, who had always been worried about the prince, frown even more.

"The prince is seriously ill and is alone in the East Palace. He didn't know that the imperial concubine is also ill. Fenxiang, how is your mother-in-law's health right now?"

The New Year is supposed to be a time for the whole family to be happy, but unexpectedly, the people in the palace fell ill one after another.

His Majesty's mood became quite depressed again.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has snowed a few days ago and the weather is cold. My noble concubine is infected with cold. People from the Imperial Hospital have already been here. The empress has been taking medicine these days."

Concubine Xi is ill.

Jiang Lianzhu remembered that she had diagnosed Concubine Xi's pulse before, and she had doubts about Feng Han.

Now that the third prince is investigating the explosion case, if Concubine Xi is ill, she will definitely be analyzed by the third prince. Thinking of this, Jiang Lianzhu took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine is still ill, after the prince's medicine is ready, I will go to the imperial concubine's palace to diagnose and treat her."

When the emperor knew that Concubine Xi was not feeling well, Jiang Lianzhu had shown her.

There was no doubt about him this time.

"Okay, I'll leave all the illnesses of the noble concubine and the prince to you for diagnosis and treatment. You're done."

Unexpectedly, after the emperor finished speaking, Fenxiang knelt down directly.

"fennel?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my mother-in-law heard that Mrs. Liao came to the palace to diagnose and treat the prince. On the way to the East Palace, she told the servant that she must not bother Mrs. Liao with her typhoid fever."

After Fenxiang explained clearly to the emperor, she turned to Jiang Lianzhu.

"Madam, your Majesty has said that she has heard about Mr. Liao. Madam, please do not be too sad. Her typhoid fever is just a minor matter and can be taken care of by the imperial physician. Madam does not need to worry too much about her."

Jiang Lianzhu thought that Concubine Xi sent Fenxiang over at this time to invite her to go, but she did not expect that Concubine Xi declined her proposal.

"The imperial concubine's thinking cycle is due to her inconsiderate thinking and she has never considered Mrs. Liao's mood."

Your Majesty reflects on himself and then speaks.

"The prince is being attended by the imperial physician here. Madam Liao gave the prescription. Doctor Li and the others will keep an eye on the rest. Madam Liao will return home early."

"Come here, send Mrs. Liao off for the orphan."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't ask any more questions, and followed the palace people, leaving the palace again and returning to Lihua Garden.

"Mom, where have you been?"

As soon as she returned, the children came to greet her.

After New Year's Eve, Sanbao stayed by Jiang Lianzhu's side all the time. Today, he suddenly found that she was not in Lihuayuan. He was worried and kept waiting in front of the door.

So, when they saw Jiang Lianzhu getting off the carriage, they quickly gathered around.

"Liu Qingqing and Yang Fei didn't tell you that I went to the palace?"

"Uncle Yang Fei and my mother left Lihuayuan. Doctor Liu said that she was going back to the hospital to prepare some medicinal materials, so we didn't know that you were coming to the palace, mother."

Liao Xiaoping said.

Jiang Lianzhu felt guilty and took Sanbao into the house. The children's hands were cold from the cold, and the guilt in her heart deepened.

"No matter how worried you are about mother, you shouldn't stand under the eaves. It's so cold. How can you get frozen?"

"Mom, I'm very strong, it'll be fine if I get cold."

Sanbao saw Jiang Lianzhu's expression was unchanged, and his previous worries disappeared.

"You can't do that even if you're physically strong."

Jiang Lianzhu scolded Liao Xiaoan, thinking of the prince lying on the bed in the palace, and she felt uneasy after all.

"Xiaoquan, go and make some ginger soup for them."

"Xiaoyuan, take your three children and change into thicker clothes. Their clothes are cold to the touch, and they may get sick if they continue to wear them."

"Yes."

Both Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole followed him obediently, but Liao Xiaoping stayed where he was.

"Mother, is your entry into the palace related to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Liao Xiaoping was smart and noticed something strange about Jiang Lianzhu.

"No, I entered the palace because of your father's affairs...".
