As several days passed, Princess Yuanmin did not bother Lin Qingwan anymore. Her health gradually improved, but she still pretended to be pretentious all day long.
Beside the bed, Xuan Qianchen held a medicine bowl in his hand. Looking at the tearful woman on the bed, his throat moved slightly, "Yuan Min, drink the medicine."
Princess Yuanmin breathed out gently, her face was a bit paler than usual, and her lips were also pale. She pushed the powder box under the pillow with her hand, pretending to get up, and finally lay back softly.
"Brother Chen, I...I don't have any strength. If I exert even a little force, my chest will feel tight and painful."
The woman's voice sounded very weak, as if she was about to faint.
Xuan Qianchen slowed down his hand movements, gently supported Yuan Min's arm with one hand, placed a pillow behind her, and continued to give the medicine, "Drink the medicine first."
In the past few days, not only doctors from outside came to see him, but after Concubine Jing heard about it, she directly directed several imperial doctors to come over. However, the results were meager. Yuan Min's body was still not recovered, and there were even signs of something more serious.
what on earth is it……
While he was deep in thought, the woman's coughing sound quickly brought him back to reality. Yuan Min's entire face turned red, and there were more tears in his eyes.
She suddenly pursed her lips and began to cry, "Brother Chen, I feel so uncomfortable. Whenever I lie down, I feel like someone is pressing on me. It's hard to breathe. But when I sit up, I keep coughing. I...am I?" dying?"
Xuan Qianchen didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only comfort him softly: "The weather is getting colder these days, so don't think too much."
"But... I have never been like this before. When I was in the palace, the wind blew all night, and my body was not seriously injured. Although I was shocked when I fell into the pond this time, it was not like this... …”
Yuan Min said, tears fell down his cheeks as if they were free, and his whole body was still shaking slightly.
She slowly turned her head and glanced at Ah Yue. The master and servant seemed to be playing a riddle. Ah Yue immediately stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have a stupid idea. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Xuan Qianchen glanced at her and gently touched the jade pendant around his waist with his fingers, "Say."
Ah Yue pursed her lips, thinking about Yuan Min's instructions today, "Your Majesty, in the past, when someone in my slave's family was sick, he never got better. He took many medicines, but to no avail. Later, an eminent monk passed by and said that someone nearby used them. What kind of evil spell was used, so my family members never recovered from their illnesses."
"Later, the eminent monk followed the clues and found out that the neighbor was practicing witchcraft for some trivial things, so he was always sick. The princess has been ill for a few days. Could it be that someone was using some tricks behind her back? Why not ask the Guo Temple? If the eminent monk comes to take a look, we can feel at ease."
Xuan Qianchen has never believed in ghosts and gods, so after hearing this, his first reaction was to refuse.
But Yuan Min clutched her chest, leaning towards his shoulder as if she had no bones, and said pitifully: "Brother Chen, is there really someone behind the scenes?"
The man shook his head, "Don't have anything to do with your physical ailments. I will ask my mother to send two more doctors to the palace."
Hearing this, Yuan Min almost quickly grabbed Xuan Qianchen's arm, his pupils turned slightly, and he quickly came up with another plan, "I know brother Chen doesn't believe this, but how will you know if you don't try? For my sake Auntie's health is already enough to worry about, I don't want her to worry more."
"What's more, I'm just asking the eminent monk to come here. If there's nothing wrong, it's not too late to ask the imperial doctor. What do you think?"
Concubine Jing loves her niece very much, so it is inevitable to worry, but she has been in poor health. As Princess Yuanmin said, she should not be too worried and tired.
After comprehensive consideration, Xuan Qianchen finally nodded, "Then I'll do as you say."
Yuan Min acted very quickly. He only made this suggestion in the morning and already invited the eminent monk back to the palace in the evening.
In the backyard, there was a table placed on the path that everyone must pass. There were some tributes and two incense burners above the table.
The maids and servants coming and going stopped to take a look, with expressions of curiosity and inquiry on their faces.
Yuan Min was wearing thick clothes and was standing next to the eminent monk. Xuan Qianchen was expressionless and stood next to Yuan Min.
The man took out a piece of talisman paper from his body, roasted it lightly on the fire for a while, and then sprayed water on it.
He observed the talismans at the light, and after a long while he turned around and said: "The princess is weak. It's not that someone is using witchcraft behind her back, but that there is someone with a tough destiny in this house, and she is secretly there. The princess was restrained and suppressed, so she has been lingering on the bed since she fell into the water."
Xuan Qianchen always remained skeptical, but Yuan Min couldn't wait to ask: "Does the eminent monk know who that person is? Where is he now?"
The man pretended to move the beads in his hand, then looked around the yard and took out a compass from his body.
After a messy operation, he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, that person is a woman. She is about the same age as the Princess. She has a beautiful face, but she is a bit rebellious and is not a rule-abiding person."
His description was very detailed, and he was getting closer to Lin Qingwan's character bit by bit. In the end, he was holding the compass in his hand, and the pointer on it pointed to the east side of the palace.
"This person is in an extremely small courtyard on the east side of the palace."
After saying this, the eminent monk's throat moved, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, "There's just one thing I don't understand. This person has a noble life that cannot be possessed by an ordinary maid, but why does the place where he lives so remote? I wonder if the prince and the princess have anyone in mind?"
After saying this, A Yue almost blurted out: "Princess, isn't the person the eminent monk mentioned is the princess? The east side of the palace is full of groceries and utensils, and the maids are on the west side. The princess and the prince They are all on the north side, and the only one with high status who lives on the east side is the princess."
Xuan Qianchen turned his head and glanced at Ah Yue. Ah Yue immediately shut up and walked behind Princess Yuanmin with her head lowered.
Yuan Min deliberately dilated his pupils, and then blinked, "Brother Chen, it seems...it seems to be true, but how could Sister Wang Concubine defeat me?"
"They also said that there is no such thing as the princess. Ever since the prince got married and the princess and the princess lived together in the palace, the princess's health has been not good. She is either seriously ill or has minor pains. This time, she has a high fever and feels uncomfortable all over her body. She has not taken any medicine. use……"
Ah Yue muttered softly, with a slight complaint in her tone, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Qingwan.
"Princess, please stop speaking for the princess, she doesn't deserve this at all!"
