The cruel little princess

"Prince, Princess, someone is coming from the palace!

Eunuch Xiao Xiazi has come to ask to see the prince!"

An Nineteen's voice was like a thunder, breaking the tranquility of the front yard.

He was seen holding Xiao Xiazi in his hand, and using his lightness skills to run to the door of the prince's study like a gust of wind. Then he knelt down with a "thump" and reported softly to the inside, his tone revealing urgency.

In the study, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was leaning comfortably on the chaise longue, his head gently resting on Shen Youyou's legs, his ears pressed tightly against her towering belly, listening intently to the fetal movements of the two babies.

His focused expression seemed as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, he heard An Nineteen's report from outside. He frowned slightly, knowing that Xiao Xizi must have something important to tell him. He slowly stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, sat up straight, and said to the outside of the study with a serious face, "Let him in!"

After receiving the order, An Shijiu pushed the door open and rudely threw Xiao Xiazi to the ground, shouting in a low voice: "Go, Xiao Xiazi!"

Xiao Xiazi staggered, and after standing firmly, she quickly straightened her slightly messy clothes and demeanor, then walked in carefully and respectfully, with her head slightly lowered, a hint of timidity in her eyes.

He secretly raised his eyes, quickly glanced at His Royal Highness Prince Jin and the Princess, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying loudly: "Your servant Xiao Xiazi greets His Royal Highness! Princess! May His Royal Highness and Princess be in good health and have good fortune."

"Get up!" His Royal Highness Prince Jin sat upright behind his desk, his eyes bright as he looked at Xiao Xizi with a piercing gaze. His tone was filled with a hint of urgency and worry as he asked, "Is there something going on in the palace?"

Xiao Xiazi stood up respectfully, cleared his throat, and replied seriously: "Your Highness, my godfather asked me to come and tell you that today is the birthday of Consort Shu, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, Prince Rui, has come to the palace with his wife to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, in the palace, His Royal Highness Prince Rui suddenly fell unwell. Concubine Shu was extremely anxious and hurriedly summoned Xu Yuanpan.

After a diagnosis and treatment, Judge Xu found out that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was suffering from venereal disease, and the condition seemed quite critical.

Concubine Shu felt sorry for her son and cried to the emperor on the spot, asking him to invite our princess to the palace to treat His Royal Highness Prince Rui.

The emperor knew very well that the princess was pregnant with twins, and he was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Godfather was worried, so he asked me to report to the prince so that he could make plans early."

After Xiao Xia Zi finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed again, then slowly stood up and walked out of the study.

He thought to himself, since he had already done what his godfather had asked him to do, and his godfather had only asked him to pass on the message and not to wait, there was no need to stay and wait for news. He believed that the prince and princess would make the decision themselves.

"Ridiculous! This is sheer nonsense!"

After hearing what Xiao Xiazi said, His Royal Highness Prince Jin couldn't help but get angry. His brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "chuan" character and he scolded loudly.

Then, he subconsciously raised his hand and slapped the table with great force to express his inner anger, but when it was about to fall, he deliberately restrained the strength.

He was extremely restrained in this slap, using only a little force, which made a slight "pop" sound. This was because he was concerned about the fetus in the little princess's belly and was afraid that the sound would be too loud and would scare the baby.

He continued with an angry look on his face, "How... disgraceful!

The prince is actually infected with this dirty disease!

If this gets out, wouldn't it make everyone laugh? And what will become of the royal family's dignity?!"

Meanwhile, Shen Youyou, who was standing by, was much calmer. She gently put down the teacup in her hand, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, and said slowly, "What's there to be ashamed of?

As early as the year before last, when he went to Chunmanlou to seek pleasure and lay in the same bed with the disemboweled Peony, he had already lost face throughout the capital!

Everyone knows his ridiculous behavior, and now it is just another joke."

After saying that, she picked up the teacup again and took a sip... of warm water, her expression and demeanor showing her composure.

"When I took his pulse, I found that his yin and yang were out of balance, his kidneys were deficient, and his essence and yang were insufficient.

With his current body, even if I don’t give Zhang Yuyan the sterilizing powder, with your fifth brother’s personality, it’s probably going to be difficult for him to have children…”

As Shen Youyou spoke, she gloated and shook her head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her eyes.

Prince Jin gently took the princess into his arms, looked at her slightly bulging belly, and said softly, "It's okay, just rest assured and take care of the baby!"

Father is not that confused!

You are my legitimate princess, not some insignificant imperial physician who is sent around by others to diagnose and treat illnesses.

How can we make him come when we call him and go away when we dismiss him?

Even if someone around the emperor wants to ask you to take his pulse, they must first show their full sincerity and send a greeting card. That is essential!

Unless it’s an order from the Emperor, you don’t have to pay attention to it!”

Prince Jin's sharp brows and bright eyes showed his determination. His words could be said to have accurately grasped his father's psychology.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

In Concubine Shu's palace, the flickering candlelight illuminated her haggard face.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the hall. After thinking it over, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered all the imperial doctors in the palace to come for a consultation.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Shu fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her face. She crawled a few steps on her knees, grabbed the hem of the emperor's robe, and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty!

Please, for my sake, let Princess Jin come and show Rui'er!

Isn’t she the last disciple of the miracle doctor?

Maybe... maybe she can find a way, Your Majesty!

Rui'er is also your son, you can't just stand by and watch him die, Your Majesty!"

The crying was so mournful and sad that anyone who heard it would feel a little soft-hearted.

But the emperor remained unmoved. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "My beloved concubine, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind!

Rui'er's illness can be treated by the imperial physician.

Princess Jin is pregnant at the moment, which is very inconvenient for her!

Besides, Rui'er is my uncle, so it is inappropriate to let a sister-in-law treat my uncle's... illness!

If the Imperial Hospital can't help, then issue an imperial decree to invite all the famous doctors outside the palace to treat Rui'er!"

Concubine Shu still refused to give up. She clutched the corner of the emperor's clothes tightly with both hands, as if grasping the last ray of hope. She cried so hard that her makeup was smudged, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty!

Isn't it said that doctors are like parents? At this point, why bother with the strict rules of gender separation?

Please be kind and let her come! Rui'er's health is getting worse day by day, I am really worried..."

A trace of impatience flashed in the emperor's eyes. He flicked his sleeves and scolded, "How dare you! Princess Jin is pregnant with the heir to the throne!

Can’t run back and forth and get tired!

I know you're too concerned and confused, so I won't bother with you. If there's a next time, I won't let you off easily! "

After saying this, he strode away. The wind brought by his clothes made the candlelight flicker a few times, as if he was also sighing the helplessness and sadness of the palace.

In fact, it is not that the emperor is cruel and does not care about his own flesh and blood.

But in that split second, the balance in his heart had already tilted.

As for the fifth brother, it is only the fifth brother after all. The concubines in his house are of low status. Even if they can collect a hundred lives, they are definitely not qualified to ask the ninth brother's wife to treat them!

But for Lao Jiu, the meaning is completely different. He represents not only himself, but also the unborn royal heir, and he has the support of the General's Mansion behind him!

Moreover, the border war is going smoothly now, with frequent reports of victory. It is estimated that in a few days, the Qinglong Kingdom will be permanently incorporated into the territory of the Jinlong Kingdom!

At this critical juncture, no force can afford to lose. He must weigh the pros and cons and maintain overall stability.
