A Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 66: Medical Emergency

The fire incident in the Cold Palace passed just like this and it made Qing Feng feel that something was amiss. But because it was this calm and also coupled with child's fever which was not recovering, it took up most of her energy and could only watch and observe on other matters.

Usually Wang Zhi Yang would come over at Sishi (modern timing: 9 – 11am) to check on the condition but today he came before Sishi and also brought along a male who was slightly older than him. The male had a shrivelled figure and the most eye-catching feature was the goatee. Qing Feng took a look at him and asked, "Imperial Physician Wang, this is?"

Wang Zhi Yang quickly replied, "Imperial Physician Hu and this official are the protégés of Old Imperial Physician Huang and he had been waiting on the West Empress Dowager. Yesterday he returned to the Palace to retrieve some herbs and this official specifically invite him over to diagnose and treat the Little Prince."

"May your Ladyship have thousands of fortune." That Imperial Physician Hu greeted and stepped aside quietly but his eyes was staring at the Prince on the bed.

Qing Feng had an uncomfortable feeling with his stare so she casually asked, "How is the West Empress Dowager doing?"

"The Empress Dowager is well." As that Imperial Physician Hu replied, his eyes was still on the Prince until he was at the front of the bed to take his pulse.

Qing Feng look at his serious expression and furrowed brows, and her heart started to worry as she asked, "The Prince's fever have been coming back repeatedly for five to six days already. Why is there still no improvements?"

Imperial Physician Hu slowly took his hand back and the worried expression retreated as he replied, "Sickness comes like a landslide, but goes away slowly like spinning silk. The winter weather is filled with cold winds and the Prince's constitution is weak, thus in the beginning strong medication are not used. But your Ladyship need not worry, yesterday Imperial Physician Wang and this official had discussed and after another two more herbs in, it would definitely cure the illness."

Definitely cure the illness? So confident? Qing Feng gave him a second look before replying, "Thanking Imperial Physician for your trouble."

Both of them pick up their tools and withdrew. Qing Feng thought that the so called medication will be send over quickly but who knew that she waited till it's time for lunch and Ru Yi who went to collect the medication had yet to return.

Qing Feng had been carrying the child all the time thus her hands were a little time. She gently put the child on the bed and lay on her side to pat as she yawned.

When Fu Ling entered the inner chambers, she saw Qing Feng that exhausted look and could not help but smile. Mistress had been sleeping very late these few night and wake up easily when there were any small movements or sound. She would naturally not admit it but Fu Ling knew that she was afraid that she would missed the Emperor if he came over at night like the last time.

Walking to Qing Feng's side to help massaging her shoulders, Fu Ling smiled, "You are also tired these few days, why not rest a while after lunch?"

The soft strength on her shoulders was indeed very comfortable. Qing Feng nodded her head gently and looked over. Qing Feng did not know where did Shen Yao who was in the room the entire morning had went and softly said, "Go and call Shen Yao over."

"Yes."

Fu Ling went one round the courtyard and did not see Shen Yao. She walked to the front of her room and found that the doors were locked. Just as she was about to go to another place to look for her, she saw some figure movements. The servants room were naturally unlike the mistresses' house, there were no screens or curtains inside and was only separated by a thin window paper, thus she was able to roughly see the inside.
