Ye Wuyuan didn't know how long he had been staring at Sheng Niannian like this, until Sheng Niannian was stared at by this hot and strange gaze that made her hair stand on end.
She frowned, looked sideways at Ye Wuyuan, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said angrily, "Ye Wuyuan, if you are hungry, then eat, why are you staring at me so well?"
Hearing this, Ye Wuyuan's face instantly stiffened, and when he realized what he was doing, his ears instantly turned redder.
He hurriedly looked away, half-covered his empty fist to his mouth and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"I'm just looking to see which girl is like you, devouring food and looking ugly. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they will think that I, the king, are not treating you well."
Sheng Niannian rolled her eyes speechlessly, staring at Ye Wuyuan's handsome face with a hint of guilt, and couldn't help but taunted, "You know whether you treat me badly or not."
"However, I do not meet your standards. After all, what you like is a weak, pitiful and lovable little green tea like Jiang Shu'er."
"That meal was like a chicken pecking at rice. My stomach was not even full. I don't want to go hungry. I wasted time and effort and wronged myself."
"If you like to see it, get out if you don't."
Ye Wuyuan didn't expect that she would suddenly mention Jiang Shu'er and mock him in a weird way. He immediately became a little angry and said, "Sheng Niannian, don't push yourself too far!"
"You are already barbaric and vulgar. How can you compare with Shu'er? You don't talk when you eat or sleep, and I think you can't do any of that!"
"You can't say anything when you eat or sleep. I think you can't do any of it, so Luo Luo Luo——" Sheng Niannian deliberately made a face, imitating Ye Wuyuan's tone and rolled her eyes.
Then, she made herself laugh, holding her belly and laughing from ear to ear, "Ye Wuyuan, you are really funny when you are pretending."
"You people are too pretentious. If you don't get rid of this burden, you will die, right?"
Ye Wuyuan couldn't understand what Sheng Niannian was talking about, but he also knew that there would be nothing nice to say from her mouth.
So adhering to the principle of "a good man doesn't fight with a tough woman", he stared at Sheng Niannian with half-squinted eyes, and said coldly, "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. I hope you can save your mother and concubine."
For my sake, I won’t argue with you today!”
How could he lose his sense of proportion in front of Sheng Niannian? It's really outrageous.
Seeing that Ye Wuyuan calmed down her temper first, Sheng Niannian didn't bother to argue with him. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, the meal came to an end.
She leaned back on the chair and rubbed her belly contentedly, with a happy look on her face, "As expected, you still have to eat enough to be a human being."
Ye Wuyuan did not answer, but said with a slightly serious expression, "Sheng Niannian, just now in front of the mother's chamber, I haven't asked you how the mother's condition is."
There were many people just now, so he didn't ask too detailed questions. He just heard from Sheng Niannian that the mother-in-law's condition had stabilized for the time being, but it was unclear what would happen next.
Sheng Niannian was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Concubine Wan's true situation, her face looked a little cold.
"Your mother-in-law's current condition is actually not optimistic."
"She is very weak, not only due to pulmonary embolism, but also because she is not very healthy. Many of her immune functions and resistance have plummeted, causing her body's self-healing function to also deteriorate."
"Although I was able to rescue her safely this time after a narrow escape from death, it was only a matter of life. As for how far she can recover, it depends on herself."
After hearing this, Ye Wuyuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
Although he had only a partial understanding of Sheng Niannian's words, it boiled down to just one word: difficult.
He had thought that his mother-in-law's condition would not be very good, but he never thought that even Sheng Niannian, a miracle doctor, would feel helpless.
Ye Wuyuan opened his mouth and wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly he saw Sheng Niannian frowning and said in confusion: "However, there is one thing that seems strange to me."
"Although the mother-in-law is in poor health, Aunt Zhao takes good care of her on weekdays, so she shouldn't get sick so suddenly."
"But this time her condition is severe. It is obviously caused by a cold infection. Are you sure that there are no other fever patients in Qiwu Hall who have come into contact with the mother-in-law?"
This disease is coming violently. It should be that someone who is sick has come into contact with her, causing the virus to be transmitted. Ordinary people have good immunity and can kill the virus themselves, but vegetative and cancer patients do not have such good immunity, and they must be targeted one by one.
Seeing Sheng Niannian being so serious and determined, Ye Wuyuan couldn't help but frown.
He immediately told the maid waiting outside the palace in a cold voice, "Call Chang Yun, who is taking care of the concubine, come over. I have something to ask!"
If Aunt Zhao didn't know, then Chang Yun, another palace maid who served the concubine personally, might know something.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Outside the palace gate, a palace maid immediately responded respectfully and hurriedly ran to find someone.
Not long after, Chang Yun walked in with a puzzled look on her face, "Your Majesty, are you looking for a slave?"
She saw Sheng Niannian next to Ye Wuyuan, and a flash of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Yesterday, they heard that Sheng Niannian had come and treated the imperial concubine personally. They were angry for a long time.
But who knew that this woman from the General's Mansion actually rescued the empress.
For a time, everyone in Qiwu Hall had a great change in their view of Sheng Niannian, but even so, the hatred in their hearts had not dissipated, but had faded a lot.
Sheng Niannian had long been accustomed to this kind of look, so she drank tea without seeing it.
Ye Wuyuan's sword-browed eyebrows were cold, and he looked at Chang Yun, his brows filled with dark and evil aura, "I would like to ask you, did any palace servants with fever come into contact with my mother and concubine yesterday?"
Chang Yun was shaken by this momentum, and immediately knelt down, and said with some fear, "Yes, there is one."
"The little palace maid came to Qiwu Hall not long ago, and the servants and others didn't know that she was infected with the cold. Yesterday, because there were many things to do, they sent her to change the incense burner in the palace for the imperial concubine."
"Who would have thought that early this morning, the girl would have a severe fever and start talking nonsense. Only then did I realize that she must have contracted the cold."
"Aunt Zhao doesn't know about this. It's all slaves who make decisions. That's why the little palace maid has the opportunity to come into contact with the noble concubine. Please forgive me, the prince!"
Is this really the case?!
Ye Wuyuan suddenly became furious, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"As someone who has taken care of my mother and concubine for many years, you didn't even notice such negligence?!"
"My mother and concubine are in extremely poor health and cannot come into contact with sick people. Don't you know anything about this? If the princess hadn't turned the tide and rescued my mother and concubine, how would you have explained it?!"
He didn't understand medical skills, but the imperial doctor said many years ago that those who take care of the mother and concubine should be in good health to avoid passing on the illness to the mother and concubine.
I have done a good job for more than ten years and there has never been any oversight. Why did something happen this time?!
