Lou Yan had been paying attention to Murong Yan's expression. When he saw the other person's face sinking, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.
After the two of them left the house and arrived in the yard, Lou Yan asked tentatively: "Doctor Murong, what medicinal materials do you need, I will let you..."
"Your Highness, the princess is here to deal with the medicinal materials, so there is no need to worry."
Murong Yan interrupted Lou Yan and said softly: "Now, I have something else I want to tell His Highness the Third Highness."
Lou Yan pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "Go ahead."
Murong Yan glanced at Lou Yan and whispered: "You... you have to be mentally prepared."
Lou Yan: "..."
"Concubine Shu's illness... it has been delayed for too long."
Murong Yan couldn't bear it, but she had to say: "If I had discovered it earlier, maybe I could have figured out a way. But now... I am so ill that no god can save me."
Lou Yan's vision went dark, and he took a step back, reaching out to support the stone table in the hospital to steady himself.
Murong Yan was a little sympathetic, but she continued: "What I can do is to reduce Concubine Shu's pain as much as possible and make her life more comfortable for the rest of her life."
Lou Yan moved his lips, as if he had finally come to his senses, and asked in a trembling voice: "Seriously... is there no other way?"
Murong Yan slowly shook her head.
Lou Yan closed his eyes and asked word by word: "How long will it take?"
Murong Yan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "About a month."
"I see!"
Lou Yan stood up straight again, looked up at Murong Yan, and said slowly: "Next, you should do your best to make her...relax."
Murong Yan: "I will."
Lou Yan nodded, turned around and wanted to go back to his room. But as soon as he took a step, he felt his blood surge and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Murong Yan was startled and stretched out her hand to help her: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to feel Lou Yan's pulse.
Lou Yan shook off Murong Yan's hand and said in a deep voice, "No need, I'm fine."
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, quickly entered the house, and slammed the door.
Murong Yan looked at his closed door, a look of worry flashed across her face.
His Highness the Third Prince's face was frighteningly pale just now. It's better not to be hurt by grief.
But that man was really scary, and Murong Yan didn't dare to go up and check his pulse.
She couldn't help but sigh, thinking: It would be great if Princess Anshun was here, His Highness the Third Highness would definitely listen to her.
Princess Anshun, whom she was talking about, had just left Changning Palace with Gao Cheng and headed to Qinzheng Palace to resume her life.
Gao Cheng took a step behind her, lowered his eyebrows, and said cautiously: "Princess, that bitch has finished eating the steamed buns just now, and is now being carried down. I promise that the princess will never see you again."
He got it."
Qin Zhen didn't even look back and said calmly: "Eunuch Gao is wise."
Gao Cheng laughed sarcastically, looked at Qin Zhen's face, and asked tentatively: "So...what happened in Changning Palace today..."
"I will tell your Majesty the truth," Qin Zhen glanced at Gao Cheng and said, "Eunuch Gao, do you have any objections?"
Gao Cheng had a bitter look on his face: "Well, if your majesty knows that those people are so neglectful of Concubine Shu, then I'm afraid the slave's head will not be saved... Princess, please be merciful and give the slave a way out."
Qin Zhen: "You didn't do it, why are you panicking?"
"Although the slave didn't do it, that shit is under the control of the slave. The slave didn't control the people under him well. They made a mistake, and the slave can't be alone."
Gao Cheng felt some regret in his heart. He shouldn't have turned a blind eye just because of the queen's words.
Qin Zhen glanced at him sideways, smiled, and said, "What did Eunuch Gao say? You have been following His Majesty all these days, so busy that your feet never touch the ground. How could you know that the people below you were doing such things over and over again? Yes."
They took advantage of others and deliberately treated Concubine Shu harshly. This matter has nothing to do with Eunuch Gao."
When Gao Cheng heard this, he suddenly felt like a mirror.
Qin Zhen wanted to get him out of this matter.
Gao Cheng immediately said: "The princess is wise. I will remember the kindness of the princess today. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay it."
Qin Zhen smiled: "Eunuch Gao said something serious."
Just as they were about to arrive at the Qinzheng Hall, several people suddenly jumped out and surrounded the two of them.
Gao Cheng recognized that the leader was Chunhong, the eldest maid next to the queen.
"Miss Chunhong, what are you doing?" Gao Cheng frowned, his tone somewhat unpleasant.
Chunhong lowered her eyebrows and said, "When I return to Eunuch Gao, I'm here to invite Princess Anshun to Changle Palace."
Gao Cheng was stunned, glanced at Qin Zhen quickly, and then said: "But the princess wants to follow me to the Qinzheng Palace..."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Gao, please give your Majesty a message. Please tell me that the queen has something to do with the princess. When the matter is finished, the princess will be sent back."
After Chunhong finished speaking, she looked at Qin Zhen: "Princess, let's go!"
Gao Cheng wanted to stop him again, but Qin Zhen raised his hand to stop him: "It's okay, can the Queen still eat me? Go back and tell His Majesty that I will visit him later."
After saying that, he raised his legs and followed Chunhong towards Changle Palace.
Chunhong stared at her closely all the way, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
Qin Zhen only thought it was funny.
If she didn't want to go, no one could force her. Since she agreed to go, she never thought about escaping halfway.
She wanted to see what kind of person this queen was.
When she was made a queen by Qin Jue in her previous life, for some unknown reason, the former empress left her mother the empress dowager alone and shaved her hair and went to a nunnery to become a nun.
In addition, Xiao Jue does not seem to be very close to his mother, and even Qin Zhen is not very close to the queen.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just a few acquaintances.
All the way to Changle Palace, as soon as I stepped onto the threshold of the main hall, all the doors behind me were closed with a bang.
Qin Zhen paused, then walked forward as if nothing had happened.
"As expected of a bandit, he is very courageous." The queen sat at the top and looked down at Qin Zhen, who was standing in the center of the room.
Qin Zhen glanced at her, then smiled: "Thank you, Queen, for your compliment."
The queen's face instantly darkened: "Presumptuous!"
"Do you still have me in your eyes? Don't think that just because His Majesty loves you, you can do whatever you want!"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips, and then said innocently: "I really don't know what I did wrong to make the Queen so unhappy... If not, could the Queen give me a few words?"
The queen said coldly: "What good things have you done, don't you know it?"
Qin Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Good thing...ah, I did a good thing just now. I found a reliable doctor for Concubine Shu, and by the way, I dealt with those dog slaves who neglected Concubine Shu."
"Empress, these good things I have done have made you unhappy?" Qin Zhen blinked: "That shouldn't be the case. Your Majesty knows that I have done these good things, so you are very happy!"
