After hearing this, Kikuhei immediately squatted down, bowed and said goodbye.

……

Jingren Palace.

Queen Chen had just come out of the side hall after bathing when she heard Caizhi report that the princess was seriously ill.

His expression suddenly became serious, and he ordered Caizhi to dress her up quickly and go to Chengqian Palace to visit her.

By the time Queen Chen hurriedly arrived at Chengqian Palace, the princess's condition had already stabilized.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for being late!"

Queen Chen spoke to Gu Junshen in a guilty tone.

"Get up. It's not easy for you to rush here from Jingren Palace. The princess is now stable. The queen can go back to the palace to rest first."

Gu Junshen spoke to Queen Chen in a cold tone.

Chen was not angry after hearing this, but squatted slightly and said, "The princess is seriously ill! As the head of the harem, I must not be absent."

At this time, Wang was still leaning in Ningxiang's arms and sobbing quietly, afraid of disturbing the emperor's interest.

Seeing this, Gu Junshen sighed helplessly.

"Let's lift the Wang family's house arrest starting tonight."

Gu Junshen said this and sat down on the couch to drink tea.

Wang was slightly delighted when she heard this, and her originally weak body suddenly became strong. She quickly stood up and knelt down to thank Gu Junshen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as she said a word, she couldn't help crying again.

Gu Junshen became immediately annoyed upon hearing this.

Wasn’t it just banned for a few months?

Then he said to Ningxiang, "Take your queen to rest!"

Ningxiang was stunned for a moment, bowed slightly to Gu Junshen, and immediately helped Wang up.

"My Lady! I will help you to rest!"

……

A quarter of an hour ago, Doctor Xu came back from the kitchen with the leftover food.

With a calm look on his face, he had already found the food in the kitchen that could cause such an adverse reaction in the princess.

He had already thought of a solution in his mind, so he hurried to Chengqian Palace to treat the princess.

With the help of the imperial physician in charge of Wangyueju, the princess's condition was finally stabilized.

Only then did Gu Junshen’s anxious heart finally relax.

"Your Majesty! The princess must have eaten the wrong food and had an adverse reaction. Now the bad things have been taken out of her stomach, and she has been given the antidote I specially prepared. She is fine now. She just needs to take the medicine regularly and rest." Doctor Xu said as he squatted down.

"Not bad! You have learned from your mistakes and remained calm in the face of danger today. You have made some progress. I will revoke your punishment."

Gu Junshen glanced at Doctor Xu, and immediately remembered that Doctor Xu had not taken good care of the baby in Su's belly a month ago, so he punished him by deducting five years' salary and making him stay in the Imperial Hospital for life.

Now that he saw that Doctor Xu had made a lot of progress and saved the princess in a moment of crisis, he thought of giving him a chance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Doctor Xu suddenly burst into tears of gratitude, wiping his tears and snot, as if his years of hard work were finally noticed.

Since he was admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau, he has become the pillar of the family. His monthly salary ensures that his family members outside the palace have enough food and clothing.

As he had his salary deducted for five years and was punished by the emperor to spend his whole life in the Imperial Hospital, all kinds of unfavorable news about his family came.

First, the marriage proposal of my younger brother was cancelled, and then my married sister was looked down upon by her husband's family...

"Alright! How can a royal doctor be so careless?"

Gu Junshen looked at Doctor Xu who was already in tears and scolded him softly.

Thinking back to the punishment handed down that day, it seemed a bit too severe, but as the emperor, how could he take back what he had said?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"

Doctor Xu said this and stood up.

"You should stay in Chengqian Palace tonight and observe the princess's condition."

Gu Junshen took a sip of tea and then spoke.

"Oh, right! You are the imperial physician in charge of Wangyue Residence, right? What's your name?"

Gu Junshen looked towards the imperial physician guarding Wangyueju who was also holding a medicine box not far away.

"Your Majesty! I am Wang Minsheng from the Imperial Hospital!"

Doctor Wang bowed as he spoke, smiling respectfully at Gu Junshen, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

"You did a great job tonight! You helped Doctor Xu stabilize the princess's condition. I will reward you with a year's salary."

After hearing this, Doctor Wang was flattered. He didn't expect that he would get such a great benefit just by following the order of Queen Wangyueju to check on the princess's condition.

It should be known that the monthly salary of the Imperial Medical Bureau is not low. The annual salary is enough for him to purchase an unused suburban hospital outside the palace.

I couldn't help but feel grateful to Song Nanxiang.

……

Wangyueju.

After Kikuhei learned from the palace maid sent to Chengqian Palace that the princess' condition had stabilized, he hurried to the inner hall to inform Nanxiang.

"Your Majesty! The palace maid reported that the princess's condition has stabilized."

"Ok!"

After hearing this, Nanxiang responded softly and rubbed her sleepy head.

It seems that Concubine Xian was too lenient. I wonder what she is planning?

Nanxiang looked at Kikuhei's hesitation and frowned slightly and asked, "But is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty! The palace maid who investigated the situation also said that the emperor has lifted Xiangpin's house arrest."

Kikuhei knew how hard Nanxiang had tried to bring down Wang. Now that Wang's punishment was cancelled so easily, she thought Nanxiang must be feeling bad.

Nanxiang was indeed a little surprised after hearing this. It seems that Wang is really lucky.

Not only was the princess rescued, she also used this incident to lift the house arrest order.

She should be very happy at this moment.

At first, Nan Xiang suspected that Wang was deliberately using the princess to attract Gu Junshen's attention so that the punishment on her could be cancelled.

But she thought about it carefully and felt that Wang would not be so cruel to her own daughter.

You must know that it was the princess who saved Wang last time, and before that she had gained a lot of royal favor with the help of the princess.

Nanxiang felt that the biggest beneficiary of the princess' serious illness was the virtuous concubine behind her, and the biggest victims were the princess and herself who were implicated.

Wang can't be that stupid!

Of course, these are just Nanxiang’s thoughts. As for the specific situation, no one knows.

It is also possible that the princess really ate something wrong.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

"Your Majesty! After the princess's serious illness was stabilized, the princess was free again. The emperor lifted the house arrest."

After receiving the eunuch's notification, Luqi immediately went to Concubine Xian to report.

At this time, Concubine Xian was not asleep, but reading a book.

She was left with sequelae after being threatened by Nan Xiang with a severed hand some time ago.

I can't fall asleep unless I'm very sleepy late at night.

She could only relieve her inner fear by reading books and drinking tea, trying to make herself feel more at ease.

After hearing Luqi's report, she was a little surprised.

Then he chuckled.

"Wang is indeed a ruthless person!"

She didn't expect Wang to be so cruel to her own daughter.

The princess's serious illness was not arranged by her, because there was no need for her to do so, nor was there any need for her to take risks.

The princess's life or death was of no use to her, but only to Wang.
