Shen Yiran quickly brought the herbs to the table and began to prepare them. She first lit the stove to make it more vigorous, then carefully cleaned the medicine pot and poured in an appropriate amount of water.

Then he put herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, honeysuckle and other herbs into the medicine jar, and slowly stirred them with a spoon in hand. He looked nervous and focused, staring at the medicine jar, and prayed silently in his heart that this medicine would help the imperial concubine's fever subside as soon as possible.

The water in the medicine pot began to boil and steam rose. Shen Yiran took a deep breath, adjusted the heat, and let the medicine slowly boil.

As time went by, Shen Yiran's forehead was covered with sweat, but she didn't bother to wipe it off. She was hoping that this jar of medicine could be a life-saving straw for the imperial concubine.

Finally, the medicine was ready. Shen Yiran carefully filtered out the liquid medicine and brought it to the bedside of the imperial concubine. She gently lifted the imperial concubine up, let her lean on her, and then used a small spoon to feed the medicine into her mouth little by little.

After feeding the imperial concubine the medicine, Shen Yiran tucked in the quilt and quietly stood by the bed, observing her reaction.

After an unknown amount of time, the Imperial Concubine's complexion seemed to have improved a little, and her temperature had dropped a little. Shen Yiran was overjoyed, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, she still did not dare to take it lightly and continued to pay close attention to the condition of the Imperial Concubine.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door...

Then, the door was pushed open, and Yu Gongyu hurried in. Seeing Shen Yiran standing by his mother's side, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. His sister-in-law was the first person besides him who really cared about his mother.

He walked forward quickly and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, I heard that mother has a high fever. How is she doing now?"

Yi Ran looked up at Yu Gongyu and was surprised to find that Yu Gongyu was quite abnormal today. Usually he always looked like a playboy, but at this moment, his eyes were extremely gentle, making her almost fall for him.

She calmed herself down and said, "Yes, the queen's condition is not optimistic. However, I just gave her some medicine. If the high fever can go away and she can wake up tomorrow, then she will have passed this test."

After hearing this, Madam Li put her hands together and kept chanting, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you to get better."

Shen Yiran looked serious and continued, "We need to pay close attention to the queen's condition tonight. If we are not careful, all our efforts may be wasted."

Nanny Li nodded repeatedly: "I will listen to the Crown Prince's wife. I will not dare to be negligent in any way."

Shen Yiran sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the imperial concubine, praying silently in his heart.

Yu Gongyu looked out the window. The sunset glow was fading and the sky was getting darker. He turned around and said to Madam Li, "Madam, please ask the kitchen to send some food over."

Nanny Li agreed and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Shen Yiran seemed to have thought of something and said, "Sixth Prince, today our guard Lin Bei came with us to the outside of the palace. We have not left the palace yet. I believe he must be anxiously waiting. Can you send someone to tell him so that he can return home with peace of mind?"

Yu Gongyu looked at Shen Yiran, who was slightly pale due to exhaustion, and felt a trace of pity in his heart. He said softly, "Little sister-in-law, don't worry about these things. I have arranged for someone to pass on the message before. Mother is sleeping now, you should rest for a while."

Shen Yiran showed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Sixth Prince. I'm sorry for your trouble."

Yu Gongyu hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, little sister-in-law? You stayed in the palace for my mother, so I should be grateful to you."

Shen Yiran smiled slightly and said nothing more. Instead, he turned around and looked at the Imperial Concubine carefully for a moment, then slowly walked to the tea table and sat down.

Seeing this, Yu Gongyu poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard."

Shen Yiran took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "This is what I should do. I just hope that the queen can recover soon."

Yu Gongyu nodded slightly and said, "My sister-in-law has excellent medical skills, and my mother will definitely recover." The two fell into silence for a while, and only the faint candlelight was swaying gently in the room.

At this time, Nanny Li came in with a food box. Seeing this, Yu Gongyu hurriedly stood up, took the food box, and put the meals on the table one by one.

He served two bowls of rice and said, "Sister-in-law, you must be hungry. Come, let's eat first."

Shen Yiran looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table. Although it was not extremely rich, it still looked quite appetizing for her who had not eaten all day.

Shen Yiran was no longer polite and sat down opposite Yu Gongyu. The two began to eat, and Yu Gongyu occasionally picked up food for Shen Yiran, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After eating for a while, Shen Yiran said, "Sixth Prince, this meal tastes good. I think it was carefully prepared by the imperial chef."

Yu Gongyu smiled and said, "As long as my sister-in-law enjoys her meal, that's fine."

Then, Banxia came in, and Shen Yiran hurriedly said, "Banxia, come quickly, let's eat together."

Banxia was so anxious that she shook her head repeatedly when she heard this. She knew that the Crown Prince's wife was friendly to servants like them. She would share the delicious food with them and sometimes asked her and Yun'er to eat together. But this was in the palace, and she must not give people a chance to talk about her.

Seeing this, Madam Li said, "It's just right. I haven't had my meal yet. Let me take this girl to have dinner."

Shen Yiran also knew that one should pay more attention to etiquette in the palace, so she stopped forcing it.

Then he walked to Banxia and said to Yu Gongyu and Li Mama, "Her name is Banxia. She is my personal maid. I asked her to come to the palace to help take care of the queen."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, not caring about it. Shen Yiran didn't think too much about it, just thinking that they had met when Banxia gave the medicine to Bingkuai Lian just now.

At this time, Shen Yiran gently patted Banxia's hand and said, "You can go to dinner with Nanny Li. You don't have to worry about this side." Banxia bowed and left with Nanny Li.

Only Shen Yiran and Yu Gongyu were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Yu Gongyu was the first to break the brief silence and said, "Little sister-in-law, hurry up and eat, the food is almost cold."

At this moment, a slight cough came from the Imperial Concubine's mouth. Shen Yiran and Yu Gongyu were both startled, and they hurried to the bed.

Shen Yiran hurried forward and called softly, "My queen, my queen, how do you feel?"

The Imperial Concubine's brows were furrowed, and there was no sign of waking up. Shen Yiran's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out to touch the Imperial Concubine's forehead, and found that the temperature seemed to have risen again.

She quickly ordered Yu Gongyu to get some cold water and soak a towel to apply cold compress to the imperial concubine. Yu Gongyu's hands and feet were also very quick and he was ready soon.

Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere. Shen Yiran did not dare to take his eyes off the Imperial Concubine for a moment, and the worry in his heart grew heavier.

After an unknown amount of time, the imperial concubine's temperature finally stopped rising, and Shen Yiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she never dared to let her guard down and continued to stay by the bed.

Seeing this, Yu Gongyu said, "Little sister-in-law, take a rest for a while. I will come to see mother and call you if there is any problem."

Shen Yiran shook her head and said, "It's better not to worry about you not being able to notice any subtle changes in the Queen."
