Qingzhu was still thinking that if Yan Qingning showed kindness to her or valued her, she would follow her for the time being and make plans later.

However, Yan Qingning went in and out as if she didn't exist. She only had eyes for Yuqi and didn't allow her to enter the house to serve him.

This made her angry and disdainful. Since she had no vision, she would make her regret it.

In fact, she didn't know whether she was the princess's person now.

Because only someone in the princess's courtyard had ever given her a message once, asking her to remind Yan Qingning to pay her respects to the princess.

There was no news after that. Although she had nothing to do all day, she felt like a homeless person.

I was extremely sleepy today, so I just complained. I didn't expect that the prince heard it.

Chu Beiqing didn't even look at her, and pushed Shuhui straight into the room.

"Hearing the noise of the wheelchair, I thought there was something wrong with my ears, but it turned out to be the prince coming." Nanny Zuo came out from the inner room, full of surprise.

Chu Beiqing's expression remained the same as before, "How about my concubine Ning?"

Nanny Zuo immediately sighed, "Concubine Ning's luck is really bad. Nothing goes well for me. I almost lost my life when I went back to my parents' home. I was almost killed.

Who would have thought that after returning, something like this would happen, oh, poor kid..."

Chu Beiqing had no intention of waiting for Nanny Zuo to finish her words. He pushed the wheelchair into the inner room.

Nanny Zuo did not follow in, but kept muttering, "The court doctor should come quickly..."

It was Chu Beiqing's first time to come to the backyard. He didn't know that the concubine's room was so small. There was a sense of crampedness that made him uncomfortable, and his nostrils were clearly filled with her scent.

Chu Beiqing had the urge to turn around and leave.

But just one glance was enough to freeze him in place.

The little girl on the bed was as pale as paper, even her lips were white without a trace of blood.

The only color is the two long, curled eyelashes, trembling on her eyelids, revealing an indescribable fragility.

The little face, which was not even as big as a palm, was wet with tears or sweat, and even the messy hair was wet, and the whole person looked like he had been fished out of the water...

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain. She curled herself up into a ball like a wounded kitten, looking dying.

Even though Chu Beiqing was aware that he was cold-hearted, he still felt a little bit reluctant when he saw it.

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that she should be lively and cunning, not like this.

When he came, he thought of many speculations.

Chu Beiqing frowned slightly, and his voice became lighter unconsciously. "Where do you feel unwell?"

The person on the bed seemed to have heard his voice, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyelids with great effort.

Those originally bright eyes were now covered with a layer of mist, revealing confusion and helplessness.

"Dad? Are you here to see me off?" Yan Qingning said weakly, "The coffin doesn't have to be too good, just bury me with some gold and silver. I have to take care of things when I get there..."

Chu Beiqing: “?”

His eyebrows slightly frowned. Is it so serious?

Have you started to leave your last words?

"How about a straw mat? You don't need gold or silver to make arrangements there. I'll have someone burn some more paper money for you..."

Chu Beiqing couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wheelchair armrests, frowning even more deeply, "Where exactly are you feeling unwell?"

However, the person on the bed did not respond, but began to tremble in pain.

He could hear her teeth chattering, which didn't seem fake, but she didn't make a sound, revealing a tenacity.

Chu Beiqing's eyes turned slightly, and when he saw her fingers tightly grasping her chest, his heart tightened again.

In her position, the court doctor couldn't see her in person...

Chu Beiqing was just about to call Nanny Zuo in to ask for details.

At this moment, the sound of running footsteps came from inside.

Chu Beiqing couldn't help but feel relieved.

The first one to come in was Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng had been running all the way here, and after entering the room, he was still out of breath. He had originally intended to calm down, but when he saw the person on the bed, Fu Sheng's expression suddenly changed, "Master!"

Fu Sheng didn't even bother to greet Chu Beiqing, and rushed to the bed in two steps, and immediately knelt on one knee in front of the bed, "Master, how did you become like this? I went back to the Zhongshu Mansion today, what happened?"

Although Fu Sheng was asking questions, his movements were not slow. He calmed his mind and took the patient's pulse.

At this time, Nanny Zuo also came in. Seeing Fu Sheng feeling the pulse, she looked at the person on the bed and said angrily in a low voice, "Princess He'an is too much of an overbearing person. She can't even tolerate Concubine Ning.

Look, a good person has been tortured to death, it's really pitiful to see."

An unintentional remark reminded Chu Beiqing. Combined with the complaint made by Nanny Zuo after she came back, and thinking about Princess He'an's arrogance, it seemed possible...

"Madam, what you mean is that this was done by Princess He'an?" Chu Beiqing asked casually.

But his eyes were on Nanny Zuo.

Nanny Zuo said as a matter of course: "If it weren't for Princess He'an, I can't think of anyone else who could be so domineering."

Chu Beiqing didn't see anything wrong on Nanny Zuo's face, so he said thoughtfully, "Mammy, you may not know that Yan Xiwei is not feeling well right now. She even scratched her neck.

According to what Madam said, if it was Princess He'an who did it, she wouldn't have been so cruel as to even do this to her own daughter, right?"

Nanny Zuo was full of surprise. "She really put a lot of effort into it. However, no matter how good she is, she is not as wise and intelligent as the prince, who actually saw through her trick of inflicting pain on herself."

Chu Beiqing: “…” Is this what he meant?

In a blink of an eye, I saw Fu Sheng had let go of my hand, "How is it?"

"Yes, how is it?" Nanny Zuo rushed over, lowered the bed curtain, and asked anxiously, "Think of a solution quickly. Even if it can't be cured, let the young lady suffer less."

"She's already fuzzy!" Fu Sheng turned around with a serious expression on his face. It was unclear if he had run, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He said, "Based on the young lady's condition, she must have eaten something with added ingredients, and now is the stage of an outbreak."

A hint of darkness flashed across Chu Beiqing's eyes. "Are you worried about your life?"

Fu Sheng wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and said in a heavy voice: "Master is in a very bad condition..."

Chu Beiqing heard this and said, "Shu Hui, go inform Mu Jian and take my token to tell Envoy Lin from the Imperial Hospital to come to Prince Qing's Mansion immediately."

Shu Hui was also frightened by Yan Qingning's appearance, and ran out after hearing the order.

Chu Beiqing looked at the window with a deep gaze, and said coldly, "You boasted so shamelessly about your medical skills? How could you be so easily tricked by someone?"

Nanny Zuo immediately said, "Your Highness, this is a bit harsh. I have the final say on how good Miss Ning's medical skills are.

But no matter how good her medical skills are, she is not a god. Especially the things that Princess He'an took out, how could anyone easily detect them?

Some things are colorless and tasteless, and no one can guard against them. Even the emperor has so many food samples, so he can't avoid them, right?"
