The news that the genius Mamaliang and Concubine He of the Yanxi Palace died of hemorrhage after giving birth spread among the palace people.

After greeting his colleagues at the Imperial Hospital, Liu Renhou, who was on duty, hurried out.

The patrolling guards had learned what had happened in the harem last night, and thought that the imperial physician, who had been working around the clock, was anxious to go back and rest, so they did not take this minor anomaly seriously.

After leaving the palace, Liu Renhou walked quickly along the street. After about half a quarter of an hour, he stopped in front of a breakfast stall.

"Uncle Chen, give me a bowl of hot mutton soup and two sesame cakes!"

"Oh! Sir Liu, you are such a rare guest! It's been a while since you last visited my stall."

The two of them communicated normally like other stall owners and diners, but when Liu Renhou handed the copper coins over, his mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something quickly.

The stall owner listened with a serious expression and even shook his head.

Others just thought that the diner was asking for too much, perhaps trying to get the stall owner to give him two more slices of mutton.

The hustle and bustle of the street rose and fell, while Liu Renhou leisurely enjoyed the delicious mutton soup, then hummed a little tune and set off on his way home.

More than an hour later, a gray pigeon quietly landed on the windowsill outside the kitchen and cooed at the busy cumulus clouds.

Jiyun looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that everything was fine, he took out a handful of special pigeon food from his purse.

She gently opened her hands and let the pigeons fly up and peck at the food.

Then he skillfully took out the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and pulled out the small rolled-up note inside.

Jiyun saw it and smiled instantly.

The strong-willed Concubine Dowager's temperament changed drastically after she suffered a stroke and she became extremely irritable.

This news comes at a very timely moment. I'm sure Her Majesty will be very happy for a while after hearing it.

Jiyun walked to the Zen room where the concubine lived and stopped. After taking a few breaths, she knocked on the door of the next room.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the capital. Please take a look."

Prince Guo, whose eyes were dark blue, covered his mouth with his other hand and stretched out his other hand.

"Thank you, Aunt Jiyun."

"Mother finally rested, you should take this opportunity to rest for a while."

Prince Guo left these words and turned around to close the door.

He couldn't even open his eyes and yawned loudly, then he focused on the small note in his hand.

When he saw the content clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.

She walked around the room, crying and laughing, repeating the same thing over and over again.

"This king has a son! This king has an heir..."

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

After a moment, Prince Guo suddenly covered his mouth when he remembered something.

His mother couldn't get up because of a stroke and hadn't had a good rest recently. He couldn't wake her up.

After calming down, the sleepy Prince Guo fell back onto the bed.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his head was not so heavy.

Prince Guo pushed the door open quietly and saw A Jin guarding the door, so he asked casually.

"Has Doctor Wen come to check the Dowager's pulse?"

A Jin paused for two breaths and replied in a low voice.

"Doctor Wen said that acupuncture with silver needles might help the Concubine Dowager recover, but when the Concubine Dowager saw that he was going to prick her head with silver needles, she insisted that Doctor Wen was trying to murder her and had Aunt Jiyun drive him away."

"It's good that Wen Shichu is gone. The palace can't do without him."

When Prince Guo first saw Wen Shichu appear in Anqi Temple, he wanted to send him back.

But my mother disagreed, insisting that the imperial physicians in the palace were better than ordinary doctors, and forcibly detained the man in Anqi Temple.

Now that his mother has spoken in person, Wen Shichu can have an explanation when he returns.

Prince Guo hurriedly finished his lunch before respectfully knocking on the door of the meditation room next door.

"Mother, I'm here to pay my respects to you. Are you awake?"

“Quick…quick…come in…”

Toffee's faint voice came from inside the house.

As soon as Prince Guo entered the room, he found that Concubine Shu's gaze was fixed on his back.

Prince Guo, who knew exactly what his mother was thinking, explained with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, Ye, Hongming, and Wen Shichu have all been driven away. No one can harm you under your son's nose."

Concubine Shu, with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth, let out a chuckle and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

“Wipe… wipe…”

She reminded vaguely.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll wipe it for you right away."

Prince Guo skillfully pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from a basket beside him and gently wiped the corners of his mother's mouth and neck as she lay motionless on the bed.

He said in a gentle voice.

"Mother, I have good news for you. Mrs. He gave birth to a big fat boy last night. You have a grandson now."

However, Concubine Shu did not say a word, and even her eyes did not change at all.

Prince Guo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Mother, you've always been talking about wanting to see your eldest grandson, but why didn't you react after hearing this good news?"

Concubine Shu moved her neck with great effort, trying to keep her head flat to avoid drooling accidentally.

After adjusting herself to a relatively comfortable position, she stammered.

"The son of He...whose position is low...cannot...take...the...position...of...my...son...as...the...eldest...son."

Prince Guo thought of the deceased Huanbi, and felt grief in his heart. He subconsciously refuted.

"Mother, He gave birth to a child of my bloodline, so how can she not be considered my eldest son?"

Concubine Shu's eyes instantly became extremely gloomy. She stared at Prince Guo and answered word by word.

"She is a slave, a maidservant, a woman of watery nature, and unfit to be the mother of my eldest grandson."

"He...shi...she...she...is not worthy!"

"Mother, it's my son's fault for being unfilial, but your own grandson..."

Prince Guo hesitated to speak and swallowed the words "illegible origin".

Wen Shichu said that his mother had suffered a sudden stroke and it was inevitable that she would not be able to accept it for a while, so he specifically instructed him to follow her wishes and not let her get upset.

"Yun... Li... Shen... is good... the child in her belly... is... what... mother... is looking forward to. You..."

After stammering a long string of words, Concubine Shu seemed a little tired, so she stopped to drink two sips of water and continued.

......

Prince Guo shook his head firmly.

"Mother, you are ill in bed. How can I go to the palace at this time? Besides, the harem is heavily guarded. I really can't take the risk."

He knelt on the ground to show his determination.

"Please forgive me for my unfilial behavior. I cannot fulfill your request."

"Unfilial son, you are an unfilial son..."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu immediately cursed in anger.

After hearing the harsh words from his mother, Prince Guo paused and continued walking out.

He put Shu Taifei's curse behind him and gave orders to the cumulus clouds outside.

"Mother's condition has worsened, and she's in a bad mood. Please bear with me, Auntie. I'll go find a famous doctor to see her right away."

According to the news from the secret guards, a miracle doctor recently traveled to the capital.

However, this miracle doctor had a strange temper and his whereabouts were erratic, so Prince Guo decided to look for him in person to show his sincerity.

As the sky gradually darkened, Prince Guo and A Jin, who had gained nothing, rushed back exhausted.

As soon as Prince Guo entered the room, Jiyun hurried to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has refused to eat or drink since you left, not even taking medicine. Please go and see her."

As for the curses that the concubine cursed, she didn't dare to mention a single word.

Jiyun felt that ever since the Concubine Dowager fell and had a stroke, she was completely different from before.

Not only has it become more tiring, but my brain doesn't seem to be as flexible as before.

"Thank you for your hard work, auntie."

Prince Guo felt a tightness in his heart when he heard this.

He didn't need to ask to know that Aunt Jiyun must have been subjected to all kinds of difficulties by his mother after he left.

Prince Guo came in carrying a bowl of warm porridge and asked gently.

"Mother, I am here to serve you dinner..."

"You...you...are...an unfilial son...who abandoned..."

As soon as Concubine Shu saw Prince Guo, she glared at him and her speech became intermittent, even some of her sentences were incoherent.

Seeing that his mother was having difficulty speaking, Prince Guo quickly took over the conversation.

"Mother, I'm not abandoning you. The secret guards have sent word that a miracle doctor has been found... I want to go and find a doctor for you."

"Rebellious son... making excuses... unfilial... son... Shen..."

No matter how Prince Guo explained, Concubine Shu just kept talking to herself.

Ah Jin listened to the intermittent abuse coming from the Zen room and felt sorry for his master.

The master had been running around outside the whole afternoon, but the concubine misunderstood that she wanted to get rid of her as a burden.

Just thinking of Concubine Shu's cruel methods, A Jin didn't dare to step forward to speak for his master.

Concubine Shu's stubbornness was beyond A Jin's imagination. She refused to eat or drink rice for two consecutive days.

As soon as she saw the prince, she started cursing and insisted that he agree to her unreasonable request.

Prince Guo was heartbroken by his mother's hunger strike.

With a face full of stubble, he squatted humbly in front of Concubine Shu's bed.

"Mother, I will obey you. Your mouth is cracked and bleeding, how about some rice and water first?"

"The porridge cooked by Aunt Jiyun is the most nourishing. I will feed it to you."

Concubine Shu wanted to squinted her eyes to see her son's expression, but her eyes were not under her control today.
