Princess Zheng was upset for a long time before she came to her senses. After she came to her senses, her anger and embarrassment faded away, and fear and guilt slowly surged in her heart. She asked Mother Ding who had been standing by her side: "Mom, what should I do?"
Mother Ding had no answer to this. She walked forward and poured a cup of tea for Princess Zheng. Looking at the faint smoke rising from the tea, she whispered, "It is said that the husband is the heaven... Since you have already married, you should naturally listen to the prince. The prince treats you well. I don't understand many big principles, but our life is much better than before... Princess, this time the prince even said that if you don't want to live together, you can divorce, which shows that he is really angry with you..."
Her original intention was to have Princess Zheng surrender and apologize, and it would be best if she could go to Wei An and persuade him. After all, the only person who could really persuade Prince Zheng was probably Wei An.
After all, Baoger is still young. He can barely even call his parents. What does he understand
Princess Zheng was unhappy. She sat there sighing for a while and asked Mother Ding to get a letter to invite the imperial physician. Although she was angry just now, she still knew one thing.
If Baoger really had something, then she would have no hope like those servants.
After the imperial physician came and examined her for a while, and Baoger took the medicine and fell into a sound sleep, she felt tired and wanted to send the physician away.
Who would have thought that this time Doctor Shi did not leave immediately. Instead, he bent over respectfully and said that Bao'er's illness might be a little serious and would require long-term recuperation.
Princess Zheng did not expect him to say that. She stood up in surprise and retorted: "How could that be? Isn't it because he caught a cold that he felt a little nauseous? He is usually in good health..."
Other children were timid and afraid of meeting strangers. At such a young age, they were usually held in the arms of their wet nurses all the time and kept in the house. They often got sick or had disasters of one kind or another. But Baoger was different.
Wei An often took him everywhere. He was always smiling at everyone and was very likable. Not to mention his health, he rarely even caught a cold.
How could such a child suddenly say that he was seriously ill
Princess Zheng was worried, so Doctor Shi quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry too much. Some children are like this. They don't look like anything special at ordinary times... But when I took his pulse, I felt that he seemed to have some... congenital deficiencies..."
Princess Zheng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Congenital deficiency?! But before, Kong Gongsheng and the others came to see it... and they didn't say anything like that..."
Besides, Baoger was obviously raised to be plump and fair, so how could he be a child with congenital defects
Doctor Shi stroked his beard and shook his head, "Sometimes congenital deficiencies cannot be seen on the surface. For example, sometimes a person's discomfort may not show up when he is a child, and the disease may only occur when he grows up... And each doctor specializes in different areas. Kong Gongfeng is better at treating external injuries, while Doctor Xu is better at pediatrics... I just felt the young master's pulse and it always felt steady but sometimes rapid. His heartbeat was also different from that of an ordinary person..."
Princess Zheng was stunned. After listening to his clear and convincing speech, she hurriedly asked someone to bring the child over. She then lay on her son's chest and heard his heart beating fast and rapidly.
She couldn't help but feel her heart tighten as well, and anxiously asked Doctor Shi, "Is this a heart disease? If it is really a new disease, how should it be treated?!"
At this moment, Princess Zheng felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. Her eyes were fixed on Doctor Shi in front of her, fearing that he would say something bad.
Doctor Shi shook his head: "It may not be a heart disease, maybe it's just a congenital deficiency, so the child has some weaknesses, which causes the heartbeat to speed up and difficulty breathing... This is also possible..."
Princess Zheng's half-relaxed heart was once again in suspense, and she asked him with a tearful voice, "In that case, is there any solution?!"
Doctor Shi coughed and said, "We need to observe for a while... or we can ask Gongfeng Kong, Doctor Xu, and Wang Gongfeng to come and take a look... then we can have a definite answer. Once the condition is confirmed, we will know how to treat it."
After hearing this, Princess Zheng didn't care about the quarrel she had with Prince Zheng just now, and immediately ordered Mother Ding: "Mom, go outside and tell someone to go find the prince and bring him back. Tell them that the prince has something to do here, and ask the prince to come back!"
Mother Ding was so frightened when she heard what Doctor Shi said that she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't dare to delay at all and hurried out to give orders.
Doctor Shi advised Princess Zheng not to scare the sleeping Bao Ge'er. Princess Zheng asked the nurse to take the child away. She looked at Doctor Shi and said, "Thank you very much. If you hadn't seen it... "
Doctor Shi shook his head. There were only a few maids who seemed to be the confidants of Princess Zheng serving in the room. He said slowly: "It's probably not that important for me to tell whether there is a disease or not..."
Princess Zheng looked at him in surprise.
Doctor Shi then said, "I heard that the brother of Marquis Pingxi died of this disease..."
Shen Chen? Princess Zheng was even more surprised. When she heard what Doctor Shi said, she frowned and asked, "What does the doctor mean by that?"
Could it be that Bao Ge'er might be the same as Shen Chen's younger brother
"Don't misunderstand, Princess." Doctor Shi sighed and looked at Princess Zheng in front of him, lowering his voice as if he was afraid of alarming someone: "Princess, when Pingxi Hou's brother was born, his mother was damaged, which caused damage to the fetus. The child was born with a weak disease. Even the movement of cats and dogs was enough to scare him and make him twitch all over... So later I heard that the then Pingxi Hou Shen Cong went to the chieftain of Yunnan to find a miraculous medicine, and gave it to the child to ensure that the child would be safe..."
Princess Zheng's heart, which had been pounding wildly, seemed to have calmed down a little. She calmed herself down and said "oh" calmly, then asked slowly, "In other words, if you want the Crown Prince to be safe, you have to go to the current Marquis of Pingxi and ask him to give you medicine?"
Doctor Shi was silent for a while, and then he said after a long while: "If the Marquis is willing to give it up, it would be the best."
Princess Zheng also fell silent. She looked at the gold-sprinkled curtain hanging not far away and hummed with an indistinct expression.
In the end, she had to ask Shen Chen for help again. She wanted to laugh in her heart, but for some reason, she pulled the corners of her mouth and revealed an expression that was uglier than crying.
Mother Ding was shocked when she saw her like this. She thought that Doctor Shi said something was wrong with Bao Ge'er. She subconsciously looked around and saw that the nanny was not there. She became confused again. (To be continued)
