Chapter 144 Discipline
"Your Majesty has arrived."
The holy chariot and its entourage arrived at Lanlin Palace in a grand procession.
"How is Mingyu?"
Looking at Shi Qingzhang standing by the bed, holding Qin Mingyu's hand, Qin Zhi asked the pediatrician in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince's fever has just subsided.
Your Highness the First Prince may have caught a cold last night due to the cold wind. I saw the dark circles under your eyes and I think you may not have had a good rest last night."
The imperial physician answered with great fear and trepidation, but the content of his words was very firm.
"Why did you get a cold wind? Didn't you get enough rest? Who served in the back hall last night?"
Qin Zhi asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, I failed to take good care of the Crown Prince. Please punish me."
Shi Qingzhang knelt down in panic, tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was about to cry.
She woke up this morning and came over as usual to see if the eldest prince had woken up. Then she sat down beside the bed and saw that the eldest prince's face was red. When she touched it, she felt unwell all over.
The imperial physician was called immediately.
Before he had the chance to question him, when he was watching the eldest prince that night, he heard him mumbling that he wanted to find his father.
Sui Wan just said that she was going to find His Majesty for the eldest prince, and then rushed out. Shi Qingzhang couldn't stop her at all.
The eldest prince didn't say anything, Sui Wan ran away, and Shi Qingzhang still doesn't know what exactly happened.
"Your Majesty, one of the maids on duty last night fell ill, and the other two maids slept with her. The beauty was worried that they would pass on their illness to the prince, so she didn't dare let her get close to the prince, so she asked me to come and serve him all night. It was all my fault that I failed to take good care of the prince."
Sui Wan ran to Shi Qingzhang's back, knelt down and said.
"Father, father, Mingyu wants you, I feel uncomfortable, wuwuwu..."
Qin Mingyu's sobs were very low, and his whispering voice was hoarse.
"Father is here!" Qin Zhi sat down beside the bed, held Qin Mingyu's little hand, and comforted him.
"Father, please don't blame mother and Aunt Sui Wan. It's me who was too playful and didn't want to go to bed." Qin Mingyu pleaded in a hoarse voice.
"You didn't sleep last night? Why?"
Qin Mingyu clenched his fist and said:
"Father, Mingyu is missing you. My fourth brother was poisoned. Father often went to see him and even took him to sleep. I also want to sleep with you."
Last night, Sui Wan's aunt told her to put the blame on the sick palace maid, but the palace maid would definitely die if she took the blame for his illness. The palace maid had been with him for so long, he couldn't bear to see her die.
It would be better to take the responsibility. After all, he is still the emperor's eldest son, and his father has not completely forgotten him.
"So you secretly blew the wind all night and made yourself sick?"
Qin Zhi was so angry that he laughed.
"I'm sorry, Father. Can you hug me, please?"
Qin Mingyu's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry, looking extremely pitiful.
"idiot."
“Father, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu… Father, please don’t scold me. I don’t dare to do it again.”
Qin Zhi gently leaned over and hugged Qin Mingyu.
"Is it okay?"
Although Qin Mingyu's fever has subsided, his body is still like a small heater. Perhaps children's body temperature is higher.
If it were winter, Qin Zhi would be happy to use the warm little man as a stove, but now summer is here.
Don't come, he refused.
Qin Zhi was thinking about whether he should move to Qingliang Palace this summer. He didn't move there every summer.
When she came back to her senses and looked at her eldest son with those big watery eyes looking at him pitifully, she couldn't help but curse him as an idiot in her heart again.
Are you making trouble? Using your own health to win favor?
She is not a concubine, who taught him that? No, it is even more impossible for a concubine to use illness to seek favor. If she accidentally infects the emperor, the whole family will die.
"I have never slept with your fourth brother. Where did you hear this rumor? Don't do these low-class tricks in the future. Remember, you are my son, the prince of Dayong."
"I see."
"Father, can you please stay today?"
Qin Zhi narrowed his eyes.
Pushing the envelope?
What's wrong with you being a prince? I am the emperor, the ruler of the world, and I'm busy with all kinds of affairs. Do you want to pass your illness on to me?
Forget it, my son is still young, so I won’t bother with him.
"No, when you are well again, I will take you fishing."
"Thank you, Father."
"You didn't sleep last night, aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep, I still have to go back to review memorials, dear, I don't have time to accompany you."
Qin Mingyu nodded and closed his eyes obediently. After a while, his breathing became even.
Qin Zhi immediately frowned and looked at everyone in Lanlin Palace.
"The people from the Imperial Hospital will stay to serve, and the rest of you should all go to the front hall."
Everyone in Lanlin Hall knelt in the front hall trembling with fear, not daring to move. Although the weather was warm, they felt the chill.
Shi Qingzhang followed closely behind Qin Zhi, silent as a mouse. After Qin Zhi sat down, he knelt beside him.
Qin Zhi ignored her.
"Everyone, slap yourselves. Since you can't manage yourselves, I will take the time to manage them."
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Zhang Deli nodded and lowered his brows as he walked forward holding the teacup.
Qin Zhi took the teacup, took a sip, glanced around the hall, and said with a smile:
"Lady Shi, it seems that no one dares to hit the head maid in your palace? Is her name Sui Wan?"
Sui Wan relied on the fact that he and Shi Qingzhang grew up together and behaved in Lanlin Palace even more arrogantly than Shi Qingzhang. It was not just Sui Wan's arrogance that was the reason, but also because of Shi Qingzhang's indulgence.
"Your Majesty! May I fight you? Is that ok?"
Shi Qingzhang had tears in his eyes and felt a little reluctant. He looked up at Qin Zhi with tears in his eyes.
"If you can't fight well, let the people from the Palace come."
Qin Zhi lowered his deep eyes and looked at her straight, a faint smile spreading in his eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shi Qingzhang kowtowed and expressed his gratitude.
Hearing the sound of people slapping each other in the Lanlin Hall, Qin Zhi suddenly put down his teacup and waved to Zhang Deli.
Zhang Deli immediately ran forward and bowed in front of Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi leaned close to his ear and said:
"Go ask the imperial physician to add more coptis chinensis to the eldest prince's medicine."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
