Following Socho Luo Jiahui's instructions, Xiao Heizi ran all the way and arrived at the Imperial Hospital one step ahead of Hongying, and found Doctor Jiang.

The two of them hid in the corner and whispered for a while. He quickly handed a purse to the other person. Doctor Jiang hesitated for a while, but finally took it.

Little did she know that all this was seen by Hongying. After receiving Shi Nanxi's instructions, she quietly followed Xiao Heizi after seeing him.

At this moment, I was hiding in the corner, and although I couldn't hear what the two people said, I saw Xiao Heizi hand the purse to Doctor Jiang, and the other party took it and nodded.

He gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that the previous medicine was indeed tampered with by someone sent by Princess Socholo, or by Doctor Jiang as the Second Princess had speculated.

Thinking of how the Second Princess had instructed her to deliberately take out the new prescription and show it to Xiaofen before getting the medicine, she said that they would definitely use the same trick again, and now the Second Princess was right again.

At this moment, she wanted to rush forward and expose the two of them, but thinking of the Second Princess's instructions, she suppressed her anger and quietly retreated.

After a while, she pretended to arrive at the Imperial Hospital in a hurry. As soon as she entered, she saw that Elder Liu was not there, but Doctor Ye and Doctor Jiang were there. She walked directly to Doctor Ye, handed him the prescription respectfully, and said:

"Medical Officer Ye is going to trouble you again."

Doctor Ye took the prescription and looked at Hongying in surprise: "Didn't you leave earlier than me and Elder Liu?"

Doctor Jiang, who was walking towards this side, suddenly slowed down his pace when he heard this. Hongying blushed when she heard the question and whispered:

"I, I went to change my clothes halfway through."

Everyone understood what was said. In the palace, it was very inconvenient for palace maids and eunuchs to urinate, and they had to go to special official rooms. Doctor Ye considerately stopped asking questions and went to get medicine.

At this time, Doctor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, resumed his normal pace and walked towards this side. He greeted Hongying first, and then started chatting with Doctor Ye.

"Master Ye, you just came back from Old Liu, and your clothes are wet and you haven't had time to change. I have nothing to do, so I'll fry it!"

He said casually, "Go change your clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Wet clothes are indeed uncomfortable. If it were normal, Doctor Ye might have agreed to it, but thinking of Elder Liu’s attitude just now, he said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Jiang. I have my cloak here. It's only a little wet. I can change it after I finish boiling this medicine."

Hongying, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but Doctor Jiang frowned secretly. This doctor was usually a bit arrogant because he was from the Liu Yuanpan faction. Logically speaking, he had already offered to help, so why would he refuse?

But seeing Hongying standing by, he pursed his lips and didn't want to argue any further for fear of being discovered. But then what about Gege Sochorolo's explanation?

At this time, Doctor Ye began to decoct the medicine. Hongying saw it, her eyes flashed slightly, and she frowned. After a while, she began to sigh continuously.

Doctor Ye saw it and asked casually:

"What happened to Miss Hongying? The medicine will be healed in a short while. Don't worry. Shi Erge will be fine."

Hongying shook her head and sighed after hearing this. Then, as if she had finally found someone to talk to, she immediately told him what happened today in a hasty manner, and finally said:

"I thought being summoned was a good thing, but I didn't expect that I would end up picking Buddha beans. However, this is to accumulate blessings and longevity for the little prince, and my second princess is willing to do her best. But I didn't expect that the queen is so kind and gentle, and the servants below pretend to obey."

He said with an excited tone:

"It was raining so hard before, and my second princess came back in the rain. She is weak to begin with, how could she not get sick?"

As he spoke, he seemed to finally realize that he had said too much. He immediately shut his mouth in fear and said nervously:

"Doctor Ye, please listen to what I just said, but don't tell anyone else, otherwise you will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for making irresponsible remarks!"

Doctor Ye didn't expect that Princess Shi Er caught a cold in this way, but since it involved Concubine Ping, he could only sympathize a little. He nodded and concentrated on making the medicine.

On the other hand, Doctor Jiang had an idea. He had just opened his purse and found a full 100 taels of silver in it.

You know, his salary was only two taels of silver a month. That Sochorolo Gege was really generous. Just now she was thinking about returning the one hundred taels of silver if she failed to get the job done, and she was a little reluctant.

But if I pass on the message that Hongying said to the other party, it would be considered as making up for my mistake, so I don't have to retreat, right?

Thinking of this, he pretended to have something to do and got up to go out, but in fact he quietly handed a note and asked someone to deliver it to Chuxiu Palace immediately.

When Hongying saw Doctor Jiang leave, she immediately knew that he had gone to inform the police. She felt relieved and finally completed the task assigned by the Second Princess. She quickly returned with the prepared medicine.

On the other side, after receiving the news handed over by Doctor Jiang, Suocho Luo Jiahui immediately clapped his hands and laughed, and Li Jiamingxiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

What's the point of the Changchun Palace maidservant pretending to obey but actually disobeying? If it weren't for the order from her master, Concubine Ping, how would a mere palace maid dare to do this to the sister of the Crown Princess designated?

Shi Nanxi must have done something stupid and wrong to offend the other party. He is more of a hindrance than a help. This time, he might even implicate Shi Rongyue.

Thinking of Suochao Luo Jiahui suddenly standing up, she said worried words, but her face was gloating:

"I heard that Princess Shi Er has caught a cold. As both of us are selected as concubines, how can we not show some concern for her?"

"What my cousin said is absolutely right."

……

On the other side, Shi Nanxi was lying weakly on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, her face flushed with a high fever. At this moment, she learned from Shi Rongyue that the prince had invited her sisters to attend his birthday banquet three days later.

She suddenly grasped the corner of the quilt, her expression became nervous and helpless, and she said in panic:

"His Royal Highness's birthday party? Should I attend it, too? There must be a lot of people there. I'm scared. Besides, I've caught a cold. I..."

I didn’t expect that the Crown Prince and Kangxi thought alike, they are indeed father and son.

Shi Rongyue was already unhappy because he didn't get to talk to the Fourth Prince and was also unhappy because he was refused a gift. Now seeing Shi Nanxi's timid and cowardly look, he could no longer hold back his anger.

"Fear, fear, fear, you are always afraid. What a great opportunity today is. If you were not useless, you wouldn't have to attend any birthday party."

Shi Nanxi lowered her head out of habit when she was scolded. She was already sick with a cold, and her face turned pale. She clutched the corner of the quilt tighter and tighter, and her tears dripped onto the quilt.

"I'm sorry, elder sister. It's all because of me. I'm useless. I can't do anything well..."

As he spoke, he began to cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

Shi Rongyue was upset by the cough and scolded:

"Cry, cry, just cry, stop crying!"

Especially when I saw Shi Nanxi's face was as red as if it was stained with rouge because of the high fever and cough.

Her almond-shaped eyes were watery from crying, and she looked so pitiful that I felt even more sorry for her. With her white undergarment, she looked like the pretty heroines in the modern Qiong Yao dramas.

Shi Rongyue pursed her lips tightly, Shi Nanxi was not the heroine.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but say:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't do as I say, once you're kicked off the talent show, your parents will definitely not have any hope for you anymore."

"Sister, I..." After hearing this, Shi Nanxi's tears increased, like pearls that had broken off the string.

Shi Rongyue was indifferent to this pitiful appearance.

Instead, I became more annoyed.

warned:

"I'm telling you, you must not make any mistakes at the prince's birthday banquet in three days. I will prepare a special gift for you and give it to the prince in your name. It will definitely arouse his interest.

He has taken the initiative to ask about you today. With this special birthday gift, he will definitely be in a good mood towards you. When you put on your bra, I will create opportunities for you and let the prince take responsibility for you."

After seeing how Shi Nanxi had failed several times today, she really didn't feel comfortable letting her do it alone, so she had to do it herself.

And she also figured it out. Sisi didn't accept her gift because he was concerned about her status. He was a man who attached great importance to rules, and he would definitely keep his distance from her until she got rid of her status as the designated Crown Princess. So she had to speed up the progress on Shi Nanxi's side.

Shi Nanxi's heart sank, knowing that Shi Rongyue kept her word. She would be more careful in the future. She also discovered that although Shi Rongyue seemed brainless most of the time, she actually had her own clever ideas.

For example, trying to please the Empress Dowager or trying to get rid of the identity of the designated Crown Princess. It is actually very difficult to say, but it is also very simple to say.

It would be simple for her to fall into the water and be seen by the Fourth Prince, but this would completely offend Kangxi and the Crown Prince. Not to mention the position of the Fourth Lady she wanted, she might not even be able to get a concubine.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that the other party wants to get rid of the status of the designated Crown Princess, but also wants to maintain her own good reputation and avoid bearing the consequences of this.

That's why I always insisted on giving all my wealth to her.

Because if her scheming sister "stole" the position of Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince himself insisted on changing his legitimate wife, Shi Rongyue would turn from a planner into a victim.

In the end, not only can you achieve your goal, but you can also maintain a good reputation and even win everyone's sympathy.

Maybe she will get compensation from Kangxi and really become the Fourth Lady, but does she deserve to be used by him?

Shi Nanxi watched calmly, thinking that Hongying should be almost done. Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Suochao Luo Jiahui's voice came from outside the door:

"I heard that Princess Shi Er caught a cold after being caught in the rain. She was summoned by Concubine Ping, so why did she come back in the rain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bead curtain swayed, and Suochao Luo Jiahui and Li Jiamingxiu walked in.

Shi Nanxi's body relaxed, but Shi Rongyue stood up suddenly.
