The cruel little princess

However, no matter what the reason is, when Doctor Liu comes, he will just take your pulse and all the truth will be revealed!

"My Lady Princess, I am terrified...

I don't know when the agarwood that I usually use has been used up, and I left in a hurry today, so I really don't have time to prepare new agarwood.

In desperation, I have no choice but to use these four incense sticks as a temporary solution."

Aunt Liu lowered her head slightly, with a faint and seemingly indifferent smile on her face. She opened her red lips and explained to the princess in a soft voice.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with my body. It's just that the spring breeze has been too strong these days, so I might have caught a cold.

Later I will go find the doctor in the mansion and ask him to prescribe some medicine for me. I think I will recover soon.

This way, it seems there's no need for Imperial Physician Liu to go out in person and make this arduous trip!"

As Aunt Liu spoke, she gently waved her hand, and her tone hinted at a desire to shirk responsibility.

"Hehehe, I'm afraid things may not be as easy and simple as you said, sister!"

At this moment, Hongxiu, who was standing beside her, suddenly giggled, walked forward with light steps, stretched out her jade hand to hold Aunt Liu's sleeve, with a smiling expression on her face.

"Hong Yiang, stop talking nonsense here!"

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu's face darkened instantly. She turned around abruptly and glared at Hongxiu fiercely, scolding her with a hint of anger, "I know my physical condition very well. How can I allow you to make unwarranted assumptions?

Could it be that I would deliberately conceal my illness and avoid seeking medical treatment?"

Aunt Liu asked this rhetorical question in an attempt to prove her innocence and calmness.

Hongxiu did not say anything, but just walked slowly around Aunt Liu quietly, and then she approached Aunt Liu very carefully and sniffed her gently with her nose.

"Sister is so pretty and charming, she is so lovable and cherished!"

Although Hongxiu said this, there was a clear insincerity in her words.

"No wonder the prince is so infatuated with my sister and can't bear to leave her!"

The woman said in a delicate voice, with a hint of sarcasm and jealousy in her tone.

She just raised her head slightly and glanced at the person in front of her with contempt.

"It's just... this foul smell on my sister...

But it’s really hard to give you praise!”

She changed the subject, raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and continued to sneer.

"You! You! You are simply talking nonsense!"

Aunt Liu, who was called sister, became furious in an instant, her eyes widened and her face flushed red.

Aunt Liu was instantly furious. She raised her right hand and was about to hit Hongxiu, cursing, "You lowly bitch from a brothel!

I have never used your shameful background to make a fuss, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly?

You actually still... you actually still..."

However, Aunt Liu was not as bold in her actions and words as Hongxiu. The upbringing she received since childhood prevented her from saying anything too outrageous or excessive even if she was extremely angry.

"I've never laughed at you like this, even though you're collapsing in public!

But you are so good! You always make things difficult for me!

I really don’t know how I offended my sister?

How could this cause my sister to have such a strong opinion of me?!"

"Haha! Don't worry, sister! Although my words may not be pleasant to the ears, what I said is the real situation!"

Seeing this, Hongxiu not only did not show any fear, but laughed even more wantonly.

As she spoke, she gently fanned her hands, as if to dispel the invisible strange smell around her, and then continued: "Sister, is this illness already terminal?

Otherwise, how could it emit such a bad smell?

In my opinion, we should find a doctor right away to take a good look at it, lest this foul smell bother the prince and make him feel disgusted."

After saying this, she deliberately cast a provocative look at Aunt Liu.

"Besides, my sister thinks this isn't just a simple cold...

Rather, it seems like those..."

Before Hongxiu could finish her words, she was interrupted anxiously and hurriedly by Aunt Liu.

"I don't know why my period suddenly arrived recently. This annoying disease is really making me miserable!

Perhaps because the bloody smell is a bit too strong, I was afraid of offending others, so I deliberately chose a strong incense to cover it up a little bit..."

Aunt Liu spoke softly, and at the same time raised her pretty face slightly, her beautiful eyes full of caution, and she secretly raised her eyes to glance at Princess Rui Zhang Yuyan who was sitting above.

At this moment, Aunt Liu was feeling very nervous, fearing that her words would cause misunderstanding and suspicion from Princess Rui.

After all, in the backyard of the palace, the fights between women have always been undercurrents and complicated.

However, just when Aunt Liu was filled with panic, she saw Princess Rui Zhang Yuyan just waved her hand casually.

She said calmly, "Okay! No need to say anything more!

Since you are ill, you should ask the imperial physician to treat you thoroughly."

After saying that, Zhang Yuyan's beautiful eyes began to slowly sweep over the group of beautiful girls in the hall one by one.

When the beauties received her eye signal, they all cowered in silence like quails, waiting for her next words.

Then, Zhang Yuyan continued, "It just so happens that all the sisters are gathered here today, so why not let the imperial physician take everyone's pulse?

If anyone is sick, he should be treated as soon as possible;

Even those who are not sick can take this opportunity to recuperate.

This way, we can quickly create more children for the prince and continue the royal bloodline!"

After she finished speaking, she leisurely picked up the teacup, sipped the tea quietly, and said no more.

When the other concubines heard this, they all stopped talking and just sat quietly where they were, waiting for Doctor Liu to come and take their pulses.

Only Aunt Liu's face showed a hint of extremely subtle panic.

Oh, and that Hongxiuhong concubine!

At first, she was smiling as she listened to the princess' order to ask the imperial physician to come and check her pulse. However, when she heard the princess say that everyone needed to see a doctor, the smile on her face froze a little.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of Prince Rui's Mansion was subtle and tense.

Hongxiu's originally fair face was now covered with dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Crystal clear tears quickly accumulated in her beautiful eyes, like two pearls about to fall, swaying precariously.

Her originally clear and pleasant voice now carried a subtle tremor and a heartbreaking plea: "Princess! I really don't need to take your pulse anymore!

I believe my sister is also aware that when I was brought back to the palace by the prince, I asked the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to carefully check my pulse.

At that time, I was living in a brothel and was ruthlessly poisoned by the cruel old madam, so that I would never be able to have a child of my own in this life!

Every time I think of this, my heart feels like it's being pierced by thousands of sharp blades, filled with endless sorrow and despair.

So today, I hope my sister will allow me to step aside for a while!

So as not to add more sadness here for no reason and bring back those painful memories that are hard to recall..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongxiu lowered her head gently, trembling slightly like a withered lotus in the wind.

Her delicate and frail body looked so frail and helpless, as if a slight breeze could blow it to the ground.

Seeing such a heartbroken and grief-stricken look, even a heartless person would probably feel some pity and love.

However, Princess Rui Zhang Yuyan, who was standing beside them, remained calm and composed.

Her eyes, as deep as autumn water, revealed an aura of majesty that no one could question.

All I heard was her speaking slowly and seriously in a tone of voice that said, "No need to say anything more, just wait here obediently!

This Imperial Physician Liu was a world-renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine. He had treated countless illnesses and had never made a misdiagnosis.

Since we have invited Doctor Liu today, you should naturally let him take a good look at you. Maybe we can find a glimmer of hope!

I asked him to come and diagnose the pulse of this princess and all the sisters. This princess is of course very relieved!

Besides, even if you can't have children, you still don't need to see a doctor?

You must know how to take care of your own body!

No matter what others do, it has nothing to do with you!

In this palace, apart from me, your best hope is having children!

A mother's status depends on her son, and a son's status depends on his mother! If you don't have a child, then you are just a toy for the prince to pass the time!"

She straightened her back, sat upright in the chair, and slowly scanned the people in the room with her eyes.

That sharp look seemed to be saying, now that things have come to this, don't have any more evil thoughts. No matter what little thoughts anyone has, they must put them away now.

After all, if Princess Rui invited Doctor Liu to come, as the princess, she would be the first to take his pulse. How could those beauties in the backyard be an exception?

Are they still trying to go beyond the princess?

This is absolutely absurd and ridiculous.

"Then..." Hongxiu was still unwilling. She bit her lower lip and wanted to make a final effort.

At this moment, His Royal Highness Prince Rui's hearty and heroic laughter rang out from the entrance of the hall: "Haha! I'm back just in time! Are you all still waiting for me?!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw His Royal Highness Prince Rui striding into the room. He was dressed in gorgeous court robes, with an imposing bearing and the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"I have met the prince..."

For a moment, the whole room was filled with sweet voices and soft words. All the concubines stood up, walked lightly with lotus steps, and bowed to His Royal Highness Prince Rui in a graceful manner, their eyes full of flattery and ingratiation.

"Everyone, get up!"

His Royal Highness Prince Rui raised his hand slightly to signal, then strode towards the main seat.

When passing by Aunt Zhu, he raised a playful smile and gently patted Aunt Zhu's plump and round peach buttocks.

Aunt Zhu glanced at him coquettishly, her cheeks blushing with shyness, but she dared not say a word.

His Royal Highness Prince Rui laughed heartily, then contentedly took Zhang Yuyan's hand and sat intimately on the main seat.

"Your Majesty! I don't want to see the imperial physician!

There's nothing wrong with me!

I just want to go back to my room and lie down and wait for the prince..."

Hongxiu was extremely anxious and spoke first without waiting for Princess Zhang Yuyan to speak.

Her voice was soft and melodious, like the gurgling of running water, and she looked at His Royal Highness Prince Rui with a bit of coquettishness. Her eyes were full of expectation and dependence, as if she wanted to impress Prince Rui with her tenderness.

"Oh? What's going on?"

His Royal Highness Prince Rui frowned slightly, and his deep eyes slowly turned, with a bit of doubt and inquiry, to his cousin the princess beside him.

Zhang Yuyan, the princess's cousin, noticed Prince Rui's gaze and quickly responded softly, "My cousin, when Aunt Liu came to pay her respects today, she said she was feeling unwell.

I am concerned that Aunt Liu has always been in a very delicate condition. If her treatment is delayed because of this, wouldn’t it be a sin?

Therefore, I made a prompt decision and sent someone with our Rui Wangfu's badge to the Imperial Hospital to ask that Imperial Physician Liu come quickly to examine Concubine Liu's pulse."

After a brief pause, Zhang Yuyan continued softly, "Then I thought about it. There are many sisters in the backyard of our Rui Palace. Although they all look safe and sound, there may be some hidden illnesses that we haven't discovered in time.

Doctor Liu was a master of medicine in the capital, with superb medical skills and miraculous healing powers.

If he could carefully examine the pulses of all the sisters in the mansion and backyard, and treat any illness accordingly,

If you are not sick, you can also take this opportunity to recuperate and strengthen your body!

In this way, after the sisters have properly taken care of their bodies, they can give birth to a son for you as soon as possible, so that you can have more children and continue the Wang family bloodline..."

After saying this, Zhang Yuyan couldn't help but lower her head slightly, and a light blush quietly appeared on her fair and jade-like face, as beautiful as a peach blossom in full bloom in spring.

She looked at His Royal Highness Prince Rui shyly, her eyes filled with a thousand kinds of tenderness and sweetness, as if they could draw sweetly.

"Well! Cousin, you are really thoughtful!"

His Royal Highness Prince Rui gently held Zhang Yuyan's small hand, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed the back of her hand slowly, caressing it absentmindedly, feeling the smooth and delicate touch in the palm of his hand, and was very satisfied with the arrangement of the princess.

"This prince works so hard so that the Rui Palace can prosper.

But now, none of you seem to be pregnant, so just do as the princess says!

Take good care of them!

Try your best to bring more children to this king!

Whoever gets pregnant first will be rewarded handsomely by this king!"

His Royal Highness Prince Rui said with a firm gaze that he felt his cousin's move was extremely wise.

After all, there has been no good news from the backyard for a long time. It just needs some medicine and conditioning. Maybe there will be a turn for the better.
