~8 min read 1,546 words

Car Maid shook her head desperately: "Impossible, that's my older brother, my own older brother, Prince, this must be a mistake, someone wants to harm me, definitely someone wants to harm me, who? Who?"

Car Maid, in a frenzy, first clung and bit Princess Consort of Qi, then clung and bit Ren Ce Fei.

Princess Consort of Qi said nothing, thinking that this person would be gone anyway, responding to her would be a waste of time.

However, Ren Ce Fei is not used to tolerating anyone's faults.

So, when Car Maid clung and bit, she let out a cold snort: "Me harm you? You're not even worthy!"

Six words, an instant kill!

Car Maid shouted angrily, yet was still taken away directly by the officials from the Da Li Si.

Prince Qi had a grim face, and casually reminded: "It's fine, once you're in the Tianlao of the Da Li Si, if you run into your brother, just ask him and you'll know."

Che Lingzhi originally thought that when her uncle returned, he would decide for her.

Never would I have imagined that such a change would occur!

She stood there, stunned with fright.

Even if she were more scheming, she is still just a child.

Faced with such a big scene, she shrank back, frightened and dared not move.

Prince Qi didn't notice her, and Princess Consort of Qi was even more worried about Sui Sui.

After leaving the residence for a day, I still don't know how the child is.

Just as I was about to ask Ren Ce Fei, I heard her loudly say: "There's still one left in that corner, and I happen to have something to say—today that girl, with her wicked heart, jumped into the water herself, dragging Sui Sui down with her; after getting ashore, she wanted to bite back at Sui Sui, claiming Sui Sui pushed her, and right now Sui Sui is running a fever in the rear courtyard."

Upon hearing that Sui Sui had a fever, Princess Consort of Qi no longer paid attention to anything else, turned and hurriedly walked to the rear courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Prince Qi was also dumbfounded.

He knew Che Lingzhi was not a good person.

Because he still hoped Car Maid would bear a daughter, he often turned a blind eye to this child's coming to the residence.

At this moment, hearing that this child had harmed Sui Sui, Prince Qi grew displeased and waved his hand: "Take them all away together; they're all from the Car family, they won't escape in the end."

As soon as he said that, the officials from the Da Li Si moved to act.

Che Lingzhi screamed in terror, wetting her pants on the spot: "Uncle, save me, I didn't do it—it was that slut Sui Sui who pushed me, believe me, uncle!"

Prince Qi couldn't be bothered to listen more; he was also worried about Sui Sui.

So, after waving his hand to deal with Che Lingzhi, he strode toward the rear courtyard.

Realizing he was walking too slowly, Prince Qi soon started running.

It's just that his weight is slightly over the limit; after a few steps he was panting heavily.

This left him with no choice but to stop again.

The stopped Prince Qi felt anguished in his heart; he didn't think his inability to run was due to weight, he believed it was the Car family's doing!

His body had been harmed by medicine, his kidney qi diminished, so his strength failed.

That must be it!

Damn the Car family!

Prince Qi, furious, gritted his teeth and then turned to look at Sui Si: "We must harshly punish the Car family, not let a single one go!"

While speaking, Prince Qi had already arrived at the residence of Ren Ce Fei in the rear courtyard.

Zhou Maid and the others were uneasy, all gathered here.

After Meng Ce Fei woke up, she also came over.

The young masters of the residence didn't attend their afternoon physical lesson, all guarding Sui Sui.

Sui Sui had just woken for a moment, taken medicine, then fell asleep again.

Doctor Liu originally thought it shouldn't be a serious problem.

But when Princess Consort of Qi came to check the situation, the child's forehead temperature clearly rose again.

Doctor Liu, with a solemn expression, took the pulse, adjusted the prescription, and then re-administered acupuncture to Sui Sui.

The child felt miserable from the fever; even if the needle didn't hurt when inserted, there was still a dull sensation.

So, Sui Sui instinctively wanted to struggle.

Princess Consort of Qi felt as if her heart were about to break!

She sat by the bedside, gently yet firmly holding down Sui Sui, pressing while tears fell: "Sui Sui, be good; after the needle, it won't hurt, just endure a little longer, endure a little longer and it'll be fine."

Ren Ce Fei watched from the side, her heart also feeling sour.

She first wiped her own tears, then wiped Princess Consort of Qi's tears.

Prince Qi, anxious and pacing on the side, realized he couldn't squeeze in.

Princess Consort of Qi and the two concubines were all crowded at the bedside.

Doctor Liu also needed to constantly monitor the situation, so he was certainly there as well.

Di Jiao also needed to physically cool Sui Sui down, so he was naturally present too.

The bedside is only so big, already packed with so many people, there's no room left for Prince Qi.

Zhou Maid and Wen Maid naturally withdrew to the outer room, listening for news.

Wen Maid's health isn't great, and after toiling half the day, her throat now itches, and she can't help but start coughing.

Zhou Maid, watching from the side, softly advised: "You should go rest first; we live nearby, just a few steps away—if anything happens, I'll call you, and you can come back."

Aunt Zhou stood to the side watching, and she whispered her advice: "Go back and rest first; we live nearby, it's just a few steps. If anything happens, I'll call out, and you can come back."

That child really isn't well…

By then, the entire household will have to know; there's no need for her to notify again.

If it were just a trivial matter, we maids couldn't be of much help.

If it's just ordinary small matters, they, these concubines, can't help much.

Hearing Concubine Zhou say that, Concubine Wen shook her head: "He's also a pitiful child; I'll take another look."

After saying that, she couldn't help but cough again.

Feng Xuanjie listened to the commotion from one side, temporarily unable to attend to Sui Sui; he walked over silently and gently helped his mother pat her back, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

That night, no one in the Qi Wang Fu slept well.

Even the few concubines who weren't very prominent came to check on her several times, worried.

Of course, those servant girls who came with false pretenses were all driven away by Ren Ce Fei with a dark face.

Sui Sui's fever fluctuated throughout the night, and by the time dawn approached, it finally subsided again.

Liu Dafu took her pulse again, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "She should be fine. Everyone, go rest for now; she should wake up in about fifteen minutes. Then give her some of the warmed porridge; otherwise, having gone all night without food, she'll likely be hungry and uncomfortable."

Knowing the child was all right, Princess Consort of Qi wiped her tears again.

Prince Qi's heart could finally be at ease.

Ren Ce Fei and the others also let out a sigh of relief.

However, no one said they were leaving; everyone stayed there.

The young masters, tired in the middle of the night, ended up taking a quick nap.

Now they have all gotten up, washed their faces, and come over refreshed to wait.

The younger ones like Feng Xuanrui didn't really understand either; they just wanted to guard their sister.

Feng Xuancang and the others were actually afraid that if they fell asleep, they'd wake up to bad news, so they tried to stay awake as much as possible.

They thought, perhaps if they didn't sleep, their sister would be alright.

Concubine Guo, who came from a merchant family, also came in several times, bringing some precious medicinal herbs and various food ingredients.

Liu Dafu first used the more important items among them.

The millet porridge prepared for Sui Sui this morning was also made with the kudzu root powder that Concubine Guo had sent over.

Adding kudzu root to the millet porridge and simmering it slowly can also help reduce fever and promote fluid production.

Seeing that the things she had sent were actually useful, Concubine Guo was also quite pleased.

When she heard that Sui Sui had woken up and had drunk the millet porridge, Concubine Guo became even more excited; she wanted to find someone to share the news, but she was afraid others would mind her merchant background. After thinking it over, she let out a soft sigh and quietly returned to her own room.

The second watch was at 7 p. m.
