Chapter 283 The Blessed One

The night was as dark as ink, and a thin layer of frost formed on the glazed tiles of the Princess's residence. The stillness of the night was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps. A maid, carrying a palace lantern, stumbled and knocked on the middle door.

&34;Your Highness! Your Highness! &34;

The eldest princess woke from her light sleep, threw back the quilt and sat up. The flickering candlelight illuminated her slightly pale face.

"Why are you so panicked?"

"My Lord...My Lord..." The maid was panting. Before she could finish her words, the princess quickly stood up and walked out the door.

"Your Highness, please go slowly. It's cold outside."

Nanny Yue was both anxious and distressed, so she asked her maid to catch up quickly and put a fox fur coat on the princess.

"How is the prince now? Has the imperial physician come to see him?"

At this moment, the eldest princess's phoenix eyes were filled with panic.

"The prince suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma..."

Before the maidservant could finish her report, the princess' heart suddenly tightened and her vision went dark.

The maid behind him hurriedly supported him and kept comforting him: "Your Highness, don't worry. With the Imperial Physician Ming here, the Prince will surely be able to turn the danger into safety."

After finally calming down, she didn't care about anything else and hurried to the prince's courtyard with the help of her maid.

The winter night wind was biting and cold, but the princess was completely unaware of it. Even the crescent moon in the sky looked pale and white.

The courtyard where the prince lived was brightly lit at this time.

Doctor Ming was carefully taking the pulse of the person on the bed. The maids standing there all had solemn expressions and dared not breathe.

The eldest princess hurried into the inner room, and the strong smell of medicine hit her face.

Her son, her only son, was lying on the bed, his face flushed and unconscious.

When he was about to go forward, he was stopped by the nanny: "Your Highness, please ask the imperial physician to treat the prince first."

She was helpless and was helped by the nanny to sit aside. Looking at the person on the bed, she felt heartbroken.

"Mammy, everything will be fine tomorrow, right?"

Nanny Yue felt sorry for her master and said firmly, "Your Highness, the prince will surely be blessed by heaven."

The waiting time was particularly long and was truly tormenting for her. The nanny hugged her and kept comforting her.

After a long time, Doctor Ming put away the needle. He was a little dazed for a moment because he had been concentrating for a long time. The maid hurried forward to support him.

"How is Doctor Ming now?" she asked softly, her voice trembling.

Doctor Ming stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the prince is fine for now. I will give him two more acupuncture treatments and the fever will subside. However, it is cold in winter, so it is best not to let the young prince stay outside for too long."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely follow the imperial physician's orders." Upon hearing that there was nothing serious, the heavy stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Then he said to everyone in the room, "When you serve the young prince, please be more attentive. You didn't try to stop him when he was acting like a fool."

The maidservants in the house were horrified and fell to the ground, shouting that they deserved to die and would never do such a thing again.

This went on for half the night. Only after the young prince drank the medicine and fell into a sound sleep was Nanny Yue persuaded him to go back and rest.

The quiet corridor seemed particularly peaceful at this moment, with only the sound of light footsteps.

The eldest princess asked worriedly, "Mammy, do you think he will be better tomorrow?"

Nanny Yue couldn't bear it and comforted him, "Yes, it will. Didn't Master Li predict the fate of the young prince, saying that he would have a long life if he was blessed? So, our prince still has a long life ahead of him."

The eldest princess looked around in confusion, "Where is this blessing?"

Nanny Yue: "There will be."

There was another silence, and then a maid suddenly said, "I heard that Little Lucky Star entered the capital. Is she the Prince's blessing?"

The eldest princess was startled and asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

Maid: "It's Chen Qingning from Funan Mansion who is rumored to be very lucky."

Princess Chen Qingning knew that her princess's mansion had received many good things from her, and the current emperor remembered her and her mother, so he would send a portion of any good things he got here.

The princess suddenly became clear-headed and excitedly asked the nanny, "Mammy, do you think this Chen Qingning is the blessing for tomorrow that Li Tianshi mentioned?"

Nanny Yue was cautious: "Your Highness, this Chen Qingning is extraordinary. We must not offend His Majesty because of this."

The maid suddenly interrupted, "Madam, what you said is not right. No matter what, Chen Qingning is no match for our Prince. Besides, the relationship between His Highness and His Majesty is deeper than anyone else's. We must not hurt the princess's heart for someone who has nothing to do with her."

Nanny Yue glared at her with displeasure.

The eldest princess listened to it. Her son was so noble. It was her good fortune that a peasant girl could have such a blessing.

The nanny knew that the princess would not listen for the time being, so she thought of persuading her later.

The maidservant continued, "I heard that Chen Qingning, not only did good fortune come from misfortunes, but he also came back from the gates of hell several times. He was also predicted by a famous Taoist priest to have great fortune and luck."

The eldest princess was even more shocked. She had ignored court affairs for a long time and was only focused on taking care of Ming'er.

This Chen Qingning is really different, and I have more plans in mind.

Seeing that the maid ignored her warning, the nanny didn't say much and just took note of it silently.

Entering the inner room, she said, "Mammy, this Chen Qingning is so different. If I put her next to my son, he will be saved."

The nanny knew that she had already made up her mind, but she was too concerned. The maid's behavior today was really strange, but she also knew that if she tried to persuade her at this time, she might be disgusted.

"Your Highness, we can make a decision after Madam goes out and makes thorough inquiries. There's no need to rush. Besides, Chen Qingning never leaves out our princess's mansion in the gifts she sends to Kyoto every year. I think someone must have given her some advice. Perhaps His Majesty has also said so. If she has caught His Majesty's eye, she's no ordinary person. We must not rush."

The princess finally calmed down and thought: "Mammy is right, I was confused because of my anxiety. You go and find out clearly."

With hope, the eldest princess felt much better.

"By the way, send a spare gift to Chen Qingning and tell her that I'm here to thank her during the Princess Mansion's New Year holidays. I'll invite her to visit us in a few days."

Nanny Yue agreed and said she would make the arrangements.

With hope, the eldest princess felt much more relaxed and had a good sleep that night.

After helping the eldest princess to sleep, the nanny asked a few close maids to take good care of her and went to the outer room.

He called a few capable confidants, explained the matters to them one by one, and let them handle them separately.

Suddenly he thought of something and went to the housekeeper's courtyard.

This housekeeper is also a senior eunuch from the palace. He has grown up with the princess and is one of her few confidants.

"Has Manager Qiao rested?"

Seeing the young guard at the gate, Nanny Yue asked.

Seeing that it was Nanny Yue, the young eunuch quickly bowed and greeted, "Not yet. The prince is not feeling well, and my father is not worried."

"Please tell them I have something to discuss with you."

After receiving the order, the eunuch immediately turned around and reported.

Then, Supervisor Qiao came over and said, "Madam, why are you standing in the cold? Come inside and warm up."

Nanny Yue smiled and said, "No need. I have something to tell you. I have to go back and wait for His Highness."

The two walked to a dark place, and Nanny Yue whispered a few words to him, asking him to pay attention, and then returned to the main courtyard.
