The Liang Dynasty was towards the south and it had a favorable climate throughout the year. There were frequent monsoons during the summer and the air was humid.
Coincidentally, it rained yesterday and the rain was heavy. The ground was still wet this morning.
In the side chamber of Kun'ning Palace, the palace maids all gathered together. They conversed in low voices, "Did you guys notice how the atmosphere in the palace wasn't right?"
Some younger palace maids asked confusedly, "The atmosphere wasn't right how?"
"In the past, whenever the princess was sick, the princes all rushed and fought to visit her. However, there was no movement for the past two days."
"It must be because of the war. Didn't they say that General Qin personally led the troops to the battle? He is the pillar of our capital. Since he personally went, the battle situation must be dire and very serious."
"That's what I'm worried about..."
"What is there to be worried about? With General Qin here, even if there are ten Zhan Luelue, they are definitely not a match against him." The little girl must've grown up hearing the stories about General Qin's expeditions on the battlefield. When she mentioned him, her eyes were sparkling with admiration.
There were older palace maids who wanted to say something but then the little girl comforted, "Sister, you guys don't need to be overly worried. Four years ago, Zhan Luelue was beaten by the General Qin and he ran back home, crying his nose out. With the general here this time, he definitely won't allow Zhan Luelue to get his fingers on the capital."
They just finished when they saw a few people walking in. The leader held a heavy expression. It was the personal palace maid for the Liang Dynasty's Empress, Ying Lu.
The two hurriedly paid respects by the side, but the woman held an indifferent expression. She didn't even look at them before walking by.
The little girl happily said, "Look. Didn't the Empress send someone over to check on the princess?"
Princess Xian Sheng was the third legal child of the Empress and the only princess of the Liang Dynasty's Royal Family. According to the customs of the Royal Family, she was a princess to be married over to another country to keep the peaceful relations between countries. Although that was the case, she was also the youngest child. She had two brothers and two half brothers. She was pampered the most. The only regretful thing is that Xian Sheng had a weak body as a child and she would pant just walking three steps. When there was a temperature change, she would definitely get a cold. She was always taking tonics, but she didn't get any better. She basically grew up while being submerged in the pot for decocting herbal medicine.
There was a scent of bitter medicine in the room of the palace hall. Ying Lu didn't enter yet when she heard a person trying to suppress their coughs. She paused and then said deeply, "Everyone wait outside."
She walked in herself and saw the weak princess knitting her eyebrows and drinking the bitter medicine in the bowl.
"Aunty." Xian Sheng's personal maid paid respects to her and then subconsciously looked behind her. Ying Lu said, "There's no need to look. The Empress didn't come."
She walked over as Xian Sheng finished drinking the medicine and sucked on a piece of candied fruit. Her face was pale and she lacked color on her lips. But because her face was pale, it made her eyelashes and hair appear to be even darker. Because she coughed, her eyes appeared to be teary and translucent. There seemed to be a black tear mole by the left corner of her eyes. She was so beautiful that even women couldn't help but be moved by her. What a pity that heaven was jealous of her beauty and the princess was born with a weak body. She grew up with medicine by her side.
