Chapter 213: Prince Qi Finally Returns!

Meng Ce Fei only came over because she couldn't fall asleep.

After listening to her son's urging, she shook her head: "I can't sleep; I've already drunk more than half a bowl of Calming Soup, and it still doesn't help."

Knowing his mother's uneasy heart, Feng Xuancang also said nothing more.

Sui Sui's condition is temporarily stable.

Meng Ce Fei didn't want the young masters to go hungry, so she arranged for the kitchen to prepare lunch and gave them a bite first.

Feng Xuanrui was urged by Feng Xuancang to eat; otherwise the boy would stay by the bedside watching his sister, fearing she would be consumed by the high fever.

Although Feng Xuanrui is young, he has heard many things.

Even in aristocratic residences, there are many children who have died from high fevers.

Sometimes it isn't a matter of medical capability at all.

Can the various residences not hire good doctors?

That's impossible.

More often, it's a problem of medical understanding.

Moreover, medication considerations are many; after all, if a child is given overly strong drugs, it's hard for them to survive.

Thus, it ultimately led to that outcome.

After lunch, Feng Xuanrui hurried back, then perched at the bedside, eyes fixed on Sui Sui.

Sui Sui no longer has a fever now, but her little face is still a bit flushed.

She has already fallen asleep.

Liu Dafu said that sleep can also restore strength well.

If there's no recurrence this afternoon, the problem should be minor.

If tonight goes well and there's no fever, a few more days of care will have her bouncing around again.

Feng Xuanrui feels uneasy and wants to keep watching.

But a child's body sometimes cannot endure prolonged suffering.

So, after a short while, Feng Xuanrui also fell asleep at the bedside.

Liu Dafu watched from the side and sighed helplessly.

After asking Ren Ce Fei's opinion and learning she didn't mind, he helped Feng Xuanrui onto the bed to sleep together with Sui Sui.

This lets the child feel a bit more comfortable.

In his sleep, Feng Xuanrui subconsciously grasped Sui Sui's hand gently, and Liu Dafu tried to separate them.

But after being separated, Feng Xuanrui still instinctively reaches for her.

Feng Xuanbin fell asleep at the corner of the bed, but there was no extra space left.

Because the sick Sui Sui needs someone to look after her, adding two more children would make the bed cramped.

Therefore, Liu Dafu asked Aunt Zhou to bring the child back to his own room to sleep first.

The other young masters, though uneasy, knew Sui Sui's fever had subsided and she was now asleep, so they each returned to their own rooms to sleep.

Feng Xuancang, uneasy about his mother, stayed and kept her company in the room.

Meng Ce Fei was not sleepy at first.

However, after eating some food at noon, and perhaps the earlier Calming Soup taking effect, or her son's presence calming her emotions,

so, before long, she also became drowsy.

Feng Xuancang helped her back to lie down, and after a short while she fell asleep.

Watching his mother drift off, his brows still slightly furrowed, Feng Xuancang remained uneasy, didn't leave, and sat at the bedside watching.

Having nothing to do, he wasn't keen on reading, so he simply fetched a chessboard and started playing.

Unfortunately, his skill was poor; playing against himself even made him irritated.

Finally, Feng Xuancang impatiently pushed the board aside and told the young servant Qing Ai to fetch his carving tools.

Feng Xuancang planned to use this time to carve a peach blossom for his mother and a little rabbit for Sui Sui.

Sui Sui woke up once in the afternoon.

She felt a bit thirsty, so she struggled to drink water.

Di Jiao, hearing this, hurriedly prepared warm water, helped the little girl up, and gently gave it to her.

After watching the girl take a few sips, she began to clutch her belly, and Di Jiao glanced again at Xiang Gugu.

Xiang Gugu immediately understood, took the child to the clean room, resolved the physiological issue, and then brought the child back.

After returning, Sui Sui sat blankly for a while; seeing her older brother sleeping on one side, she obediently snuggled up to him and soon fell asleep again.

Xiang Gugu felt uneasy, and Liu Dafu waved his hand: "A child at this stage needs plenty of sleep to recover faster; if there's no fever, they'll be fine."

Xiang Gugu felt temporarily at ease after listening.

Near evening, Prince Qi and Princess Consort of Qi finally returned.

Ren Ce Fei, hearing that the two had returned, lifted her skirt and ran outside.

She thought to herself: "You finally made it back!"

If you don't come back soon, my heart will burn along with Sui Sui's!

Feng Xuanbo, seeing his mother walk out, followed behind, fearing that her impatient temper would cause her further trouble.

The mother and son, just upon reaching the front courtyard, were startled by the fanfare of Prince Qi's return.

Prince Qi returned accompanied by people from the Da Li Si.

The Che family's plot against the clan cannot be dealt with lightly.

Although this involves Prince Qi's privacy.

Nevertheless, those who should be dealt with must indeed be dealt with.

However, the whole process just needs to be a bit low-key.

When the time comes, the testimonies and such will need the Da Li Si officials to employ their Spring and Autumn Brushwork to help cover things up.

Of course, these are issues that need attention later on.

Right now...

Prince Qi wished he could beat these people to death!

So, after returning, he had a cold face, originally intending to go to the east courtyard.

As a result, just as he returned to the residence, Car Maid heard the news and rushed at him, crying with tears like pear blossoms in rain.

As soon as the person approached, Prince Qi signaled the Da Li Si people to seize them directly.

Car Maid was dumbfounded on the spot, her face full of disbelief, struggling yet still wanting to fling herself at Prince Qi: "My lord, I am Xin'er, your most beloved Xin'er! My lord, you are not in the residence today, but Xin'er has been terribly bullied, wuu wuu!"

Prince Qi had a dark, grim face, thinking: "Even if you were my liver, it wouldn't do!"

You've gotten me into this state, and you still want to run?

However, upon further thought, the analysis by his imperial brothers suggests that Car Maid might also be a discarded child of the Car family.

Prince Qi thought it would be good to let the other party die with a clear understanding.

Thinking of these, Prince Qi gave a cold chuckle, lowered his voice, leaned close to Car Maid and said: "Do you know that the maid beside you, Qiao Zhi, is someone your brother arranged? Do you know that she daily adds red flower and peach kernel to the chicken soup she stews for you? Long-term consumption, not to mention bearing a daughter, you won't even be able to bear a child!"

"Do you also know that the plaster you applied for this prince contains a full dosage of Thunder God Vine and Horse Money Seed? These medicines are extremely toxic; if not handled properly, they will affect this prince's lifespan!"

"Do you know that the sachet you gave this prince also contains these two medicines?"

At the end, Prince Qi drew out his tone: "Ah... right, you yourself are still wearing it, probably unaware, so your dear brother and sister-in-law really treat you well!"

Car Maid, upon hearing these words, was directly dumbfounded.

She is not stupid; how could she fail to understand the deep meaning contained in these words?

However, Car Maid is unwilling to believe.

That is her own brother!

Second watch.
