无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Dongxie followed, pushing her wheelchair, and whispered, “His Majesty does not allow the emperor’s eldest grandson to live outside.”

“Let’s take him back first.”

“That’s right.”

Dongxie pushed her to the East Palace.

However, Ms. Ma kept making excuses, sometimes saying that the emperor’s eldest grandson had gone to study, sometimes saying that he was feeling unwell from getting a chill yesterday, but in any case, she would not let her see Xiaoqian.

“Why not come back in a few days when the emperor’s eldest grandson is fully recovered, and Princess Consort of Yu can pick him up, or I can send someone to escort him here?” Ms. Ma said with a smile on her face.

This only made Jiang Ning more suspicious.

But she was not someone who could be easily deterred by a few words.

“Princess Consort, I am here under the Emperor’s orders to take the emperor’s eldest grandson. If this continues, I am afraid I will have to ask His Majesty to come here himself,” Jiang Ning said.

Ms. Ma frowned and then laughed, “I told you, the emperor’s eldest grandson has caught a cold, and taking him out now might make his condition worse. If anything happens to such a young child, can you, Princess Consort of Yu, bear the responsibility?”

“I can.” Jiang Ning said calmly, “Does the Princess Consort have any other concerns?”

“Since Princess Consort of Yu has said so, I have nothing more to say.” Ms. Ma’s face turned cold, and she stepped aside.

Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair past Ms. Ma and said coldly, “No matter what position you hold, never lose your conscience. Otherwise, be careful of any retribution!”

Ms. Ma’s face changed slightly, but she still maintained her smile, as if she didn’t hear anything.

Upon arriving at Li Tingqian’s residence, it was cold and deserted.

Deshan at the entrance attempted to stop them, but Xiaoman took a step forward and brandished her fist.

Deshan felt a chill down his neck and retreated silently.

Jiang Ning entered Li Tingqian’s room and saw him lying on the bed, his face pale and his lips white, but his cheeks were flushed red.

She touched his forehead and found it burning hot.

She was shocked.

How could the child who was fine just yesterday have become like this overnight?

“Someone!” She yelled with both alarm and anger, “You servants guarding the door, come here!”

She was calling for Deshan.

Deshan reluctantly entered, wary of Xiaoman’s fist.

Jiang Ning pointed at Xiaoqian and asked, “What happened to the emperor’s eldest grandson?”

Deshan looked guilty and evasive, “He got a chill from the wind yesterday.”

“He has a fever, and you didn’t call for the Imperial Physician? And there’s no one here to take care of him?”

“I haven’t had the chance to…”

“Scoundrel!” Jiang Ning picked up a teacup and smashed it on his face, “You dog, is this how you serve the emperor’s eldest grandson? I’ll report this to the Emperor and have you skinned alive!”

“Princess Consort of Yu, the servant has been wronged!”

“You’re finished. Once I find out the truth, nobody related to this will get away.” Jiang Ning said coldly, and ordered Xiaoman, “Hold the emperor’s eldest grandson and let’s go home! Dongxie, hold the umbrella to keep the sun off him.”

The two servants with her in the East Palace, left with the emperor’s eldest grandson in full view of everyone.

Jiang Ning was furious.

She originally planned to take Xiaoqian to see the Emperor and complain.

But on second thoughts, the child’s burning fever needed to be treated first.

The back-and-forth and quarrels with the Crown Prince’s consort would only hurt the child.

She took Xiaoqian directly back to the Prince of Yu’s Mansion and summoned the two doctors she had hired to treat him.

These two doctors had been found by Jiang Ning after moving to the Prince of Yu’s Mansion, and she had paid a large sum to keep them on staff, specializing in pediatrics. They were usually not needed, so they were only asked to read and study and go out to treat the commoners for free to improve their skills.

As doctors, they needed to practice, seeing various cases to gain experience.

They were arguably more skilled in pediatrics than the Imperial Physicians in the palace.

Efficiently, they took Xiaoqian’s pulse, prescribed a formula, and prepared the medicine.

After taking the medicine for a short while, Xiaoqian’s fever began to subside..
