Chapter 161: Female Senior Sister of Divine Doctor Valley
Du Nanzhou was also confused. The prince did not include coughing up blood in the process.
He could only bite the bullet and talk nonsense, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's illness can be minor or serious. He has a disease called cough and asthma. If I treat it, it will take a year. My senior sister is a hidden genius doctor. It will be much faster if I recover with her."
"Oh, there is such a thing? Can we invite your senior sister into the palace to be the imperial physician?" Emperor Qingyuan asked seriously.
Du Nanzhou smiled secretly. Emperor Qingyuan was attracted by her beauty and was moved when he heard that it was the female doctor.
He explained: "Your Majesty, my sister is extremely ugly and has low self-esteem, so she never wants to leave the Divine Doctor Valley."
"Oh, so that's it!" Emperor Qingyuan felt a little regretful.
He originally thought that she was a graceful and elegant female doctor, but unexpectedly she was an ugly one.
"I wrote a letter to my senior sister, asking the prince to go to the Divine Doctor Valley to recuperate for a period of time before returning. The prince will surely recover completely."
Du Nanzhou lied without blushing or beating his heart. The so-called female senior sister from the Divine Doctor Valley did not exist at all.
"Cough cough cough..." Chu Li coughed a few times at the right time.
She asked with difficulty: "President Du, cough and asthma are not contagious, right?"
Emperor Qingyuan suddenly noticed that Du Nanzhou's eyes had changed. He subconsciously took two steps back and said, "Then the prince should go and get treatment."
He walked out of the door and warned from a distance: "Lord Ye and Judge Du do not need to come to pay respects these days. Go home and observe if you have any symptoms of coughing or wheezing, so as to prevent the whole court from being infected."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Li saw her scumbag father leave in a hurry and smiled at herself.
In her previous life, she was abandoned by her mother and had never seen her biological father. In this life, her biological father treated her the same way.
Ye Hanting caught a glimpse of a hint of loss in her eyes.
She should be very sad, after all, the man just now was her father.
When he learned that his child was sick and might be contagious, he immediately left.
Chu Li sat up from the bed and looked at the two of them gratefully, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Du Nanzhou said indifferently, "It just so happens that I have a few days to relax."
Ye Hanting glanced at Du Nanzhou, and Du Nanzhou left first.
He walked to Chu Li's side, watching her lower her eyes and wondering what she was thinking. He put his hand on Chu Li's head and rubbed her hair, then asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, sir." Chu Li gave a bright smile.
She had no feelings for Emperor Qingyuan, so she couldn't say she was very sad.
She has no father or mother, and has a thorough understanding of human nature, so she will never worry about this.
Ye Hanting took back his hand and asked, "What time do we leave tomorrow?"
Chu Li thought about it and said casually, "Let's do it at 15:00 tomorrow morning."
Ye Hanting nodded, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he left, and Bingxia and Huanyan came in.
Chu Li looked at the two of them and said, "I'm only taking you two with me this time."
Bingxia understood what was going on and didn't say anything.
Her princess is going to give birth to a baby, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Huanyan was a little surprised, "Your Highness, where is the Divine Doctor Valley? I will leave your safety to you alone, just in case..."
Chu Li smiled slightly, "Huanyan, I will take you two away. You will know why tomorrow."
Kong Wu's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Concubine Shu and the Seventh Princess are here to see you."
Chu Li pretended to lie in bed and Bing Xia went to open the door.
Chu Li weakly raised his eyes and saw Concubine Shu, who had a quiet and scholarly temperament.
Following behind her was the cute girl Chu Xing.
She coughed twice and said, "Madam Shu Guifei, why are you here?"
Concubine Shu walked over quickly and held down Chu Li who wanted to get up, "Your Highness, lie down."
"This palace and Xing'er heard that you were ill, so we came to see you."
Chu Li smiled and said, "It's okay, it just needs some rest."
Chu Xing said with a straight face, "Fifth brother, you don't need to work too hard. No one will blame you for not working hard. I, I, I don't know anything, but I'm happy!"
Chu Li nodded, "Brother understands, I will do what I can in the future."
Concubine Shu patted Chu Xing's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Chu Xing closed his mouth and poured Chu Li a glass of warm water.
Chu Li took it, and after Concubine Shu dismissed the attendants, she stuffed a silver note into Chu Li's hand.
"Your Majesty just came to my palace. I heard from Your Majesty that you were going to the Divine Doctor Valley. Take these banknotes. They might be useful to you."
"Thank you, Her Majesty Shu." Chu Li saw a note inside the banknote.
Chu Li understood that Concubine Shu was afraid that there were eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall, so she must have something to remind him.
Concubine Shu saw a little bit of powder on Chu Li's collar in the candlelight, and she guessed that there was something else behind Chu Li's illness.
Could it be that Chu Li is pretending to be sick?
Chu Li was unwilling to say, but she guessed that Chu Li had been bullied everywhere in the court recently.
Chu Li's outstanding performance in the court today will surely make some people jealous and target him.
Chu Li's decision to retreat at this time is also a way of self-protection.
Concubine Shu covered her face with a handkerchief and coughed, "Your Highness, please have a good rest and take care of yourself."
Chu Xing took the food box and said, "This is the cake made by mother. Fifth brother, please eat it on the way."
Chu Li smiled and looked at Chu Xing, "I'll bring you a gift when I come back."
Chu Xing's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
Concubine Shu held Chu Xing's hand and said, "Okay, let's go quickly and let your fifth brother rest."
After the two left, Chu Li opened the banknotes in bed and saw a note, inside which was a gold and jade ring.
Chu Li opened the note.
There was an address and a sentence written on it.
"If Your Highness has time, you can use this item to visit this person on your way back to the capital, and you will definitely gain something."
Chu Li thought about it, who could the person Concubine Shu ask him to visit?
Could he be a disciple of the former prime minister or a counselor who is beneficial to her?
If it was useless, Concubine Shu would definitely not act in such a secretive manner.
Chu Li wrote down the address, put away the ring, and destroyed the note.
Concubine Shu quietly returned to her palace. Emperor Qingyuan was sleeping soundly. Concubine Shu looked at the person beside her.
Emperor Qingyuan was a passionate yet ruthless emperor.
She heard about what happened in the morning court today, and was moved by Chu Li's insights and poems.
If Emperor Qingyuan died of exhaustion one day, she would hope that among all the princes, the crown prince would sit on the throne safely.
......
In the palace of Concubine Rong.
She looked at her scarred face in the mirror and listened to the news Zhu Qunying had heard from outside.
Chu Li stole the show at the morning court today, and his prestige in the court gradually increased.
And Zhu Qunying told her a piece of news, "My queen, I heard that the prince is ill. His Majesty took people to see him, and then left in fear."
Concubine Rong's eyes brightened, "Could it be that Chu Li has an incurable disease? Hahaha, God is really helping me!"
