My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 27 Taking a Bath
The prince had a fever, which was a serious matter. If anything went wrong, Bai Ningwei would be dead.
When she went over, except for Nanny Qin and Doctor Wang, all the palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the floor, which meant that the situation was very serious.
Lady Anguo held the child with red eyes, at a loss.
The imperial physician also stood aside, nodding in agreement.
"Madam, the prince has a fever, so it's not easy to cover him up so tightly. It would be okay to loosen his clothes a little to let the heat dissipate."
"I understand cooling down the body, but what if the child gets a cold? And covering up like this and sweating will be enough."
The wife of Duke Anguo simply ignored the imperial physician's advice and just hugged the child tighter.
This was the ignorant talk that Bai Ningwei heard when she arrived.
"Madam, you should listen to what Doctor Wang says. After all, he is a pediatrician."
Seeing that the person coming was Bai Ningwei, Lady Anguo ignored her.
She was a second-rank imperial concubine, and normally she would have nodded to a third-rank imperial concubine to show respect for the royal family. But now she didn't care about the hierarchy, she just wanted to protect her grandson and prevent anyone from harming him.
At this time, Bai Ningwei would not care about such details, because she noticed that the little prince was feeling uncomfortable due to fever, his voice had become hoarse from crying, and he could hardly cry anymore.
But why would Lady Anguo listen to the advice of a concubine who had never given birth? She pretended not to hear Bai Ningwei's words, protecting her child and turning away, clearly refusing to communicate.
Bai Ningwei's face immediately turned cold. She asked for permission to let Lady Anguo stay in the palace to accompany the emperor, but that didn't mean she thought she could be the master of the royal family.
"Madam Qin, if the little prince makes any mishap, I can't guarantee it for others, but you and I will definitely not be able to escape. If nothing else, for your own sake, the little prince cannot afford to suffer even the slightest harm. So now, do you want to listen to Doctor Wang or the Duke's wife? You have to think it over."
Nanny Qin was the Queen's loyal servant, willing to risk her life for the Queen. Bai Ningwei's words were almost explicit: even for her own protection, she wouldn't let anything happen to the young prince, so she chose Doctor Wang.
A word of warning awakened the dreamer. Nanny Qin clearly understood that Doctor Wang was the only one in the room who could save the child. She was so concerned that she was distracted and obsessed, always worried that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to harm the child.
So she immediately reached out to take the little prince.
Nanny Qin moved, and the other palace maids understood what to do. They immediately stepped forward to help take the child from the Duke's wife's arms.
After taking the little prince, Doctor Wang reached out and touched him, and his eyelids jumped because of the burning sensation.
"The little prince has a high fever. If the temperature doesn't drop..."
Doctor Wang said this and started to pull the swaddling clothes.
It just doesn't work at all.
"Where's the medicine?"
"I'm already working on it."
Nanny Qin's lips trembled as she looked at the little prince whose whole body was red with fever, and her heart trembled.
If it's burned like this, it can be fatal.
Doctor Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke tremblingly.
"Medicine isn't the most important thing. Right now, we need to find a way to reduce the prince's temperature as quickly as possible."
How can a baby drink medicine properly? It is always applied on the wet nurse's body and licked by the baby while drinking milk, so the effect of the medicine is limited.
"Take a shower."
Bai Ningwei didn't know anything about medicine, but since it was so hot, taking a bath was the quickest way to relieve it.
When Lady Anguo heard Bai Ningwei's idea, she was about to rush forward, but was forcibly stopped by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Bai Ningwei looked at Doctor Wang and added.
"Everyone comes from their mother's womb. We adjusted the water temperature to simulate the mother's body temperature. I think soaking in it will help the little prince cool down quickly without any harm to his body."
Doctor Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Indeed, every human being is immersed in amniotic fluid before birth, and adjusting the water temperature is indeed fast and safe.
Moreover, the little prince's umbilical cord has fallen off, so there is no problem for him to take a bath.
Nanny Qin and the Duke's wife listened to Bai Ningwei's explanation and put themselves in her shoes. It seemed to be true, and they immediately stopped doubting it. Everyone immediately got to work. Gualv took out an I-shaped pocket cloth and fixed it in the bathtub.
Once the water is connected, the little prince can be placed on the dungaree and allowed to lie comfortably.
As soon as the child entered the water, he felt comfortable, whimpering a few times before stopping crying. Nanny Qin splashed two handfuls of water on his belly, and the child closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I leaned over my head again and found that it was not as hot as before.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanny Qin looked at the bag and felt something, so she asked.
"This shawl is exquisitely made. The little prince can lie on it and soak in the water without worrying about choking."
"It was specially designed by the Concubine Jieyu for the little prince."
Gualv answered truthfully.
Nanny Qin knew what was going on and was naturally grateful to Bai Ningwei. She had always understood that Bai Ningwei was a person who knew what was going on. In this vast harem, she was one of the few who would not actively harm others.
Now that the little prince has lost his power and is no longer with the emperor, it is even more rare for her to still think about the little prince in everything.
When Lady Anguo saw her grandson finally calm down, she realized she had wronged Bai Ningwei. She recalled what her husband had said: if she hadn't been there to oversee the situation on the day the Queen gave birth, her grandson might not have been born safely.
Some things are changing quietly, but how many people in the situation can foresee the outcome?
It was two days later that Xiao Duo received the news from the palace.
The records said the little prince was born prematurely and seemed to have asthma. When he occasionally had a fever, Concubine Hui made a bathing bag for him to bathe in to cool down.
The little prince was unwilling to take the medicine, so Concubine Hui found a sheep's stomach to put the medicine in, tied a thin reed tube to it, and fed it to him slowly.
The little prince has safely passed a month, etc.
After seeing this, Xiao Duo felt that everything was just as he expected. It would be most appropriate to raise the prince with Bai Ningwei.
Now that I can get through the most difficult month safely, it will not be a problem to take care of it for another month.
Thinking back to when the imperial physician reported back that the child had been trapped in the mother's womb for too long and was in danger of dying prematurely, he hadn't even dared to give it a name. Now was the time to think carefully about what name to give the child.
Xiao Duo wrote a few names on the paper, but he was not very satisfied with any of them. Sitting on the dragon throne, he couldn't help but think of Bai Ningwei again.
This woman was actually smarter than he'd thought. Given the situation back then, he naturally couldn't choose between the two options; Bai Ningwei had to be the villain.
The Queen's position is related to the state system, and the previous dynasty will definitely submit a memorial after the incident, asking Bai Ningwei to give an explanation for the Queen's affairs.
He had already thought of the excuses he would use to exonerate her, to protect everything she had, and to make her grateful to him. With the love they had for each other and the life-saving grace, he didn't believe she would dare to have any other thoughts in the future.
Unexpectedly, in her haste, she actually thought of pulling out the wife of the Duke of Anguo. The wife of the Duke of Anguo had to choose between her daughter and her grandson, and naturally no one in the court would make it difficult for her.
The matter ended successfully. The royal family did not owe the Anguo Mansion anything. The Anguo Duke's wife won praise for saving the prince, and Bai Ningwei escaped unscathed.
Only the Queen was truly dead.
Thinking that Yuan's wife was dead and the mourning clothes in the palace had been removed, Xiao Duo blinked his moist eyes and continued to write his name on the paper.
At least he was going to give their child a nice name.
