An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1348 What's The Matter With The Crown Prince

Qian Zhuo also laughed. Then she thought of something serious. She raised her head and looked out

of the window. Then she reported in a low voice, "The people we arranged last night followed them

back to the post house. As your majesty expected, Prince Ming Yue looked very anxious because of

what happened at the Imperial banquet last night. He blamed Princess Ming Yue and the eighth

princess. They responded him as your majesty had taught them. Thus, up till now, nothing was been

found out by Prince Ming Yue.

Early this morning, they met the people we have arranged in the post house. They have thoroughly

investigated the situation of the ladies in the post house. Since we have replaced all the people

including the maids, nothing serious has happened. "

Yun Shang nodded slightly. Everything was within her expectation for the time being.

"Is there anything wrong with Prince Ming Yue yesterday?"

Qian Zhuo nodded, "The secret guard reported that Prince Ming Yue left alone for a period of time last

mid night. They followed him, but they lost him halfway."

"Failed to track him?" Yun Shang frowned and asked, "Is Prince Ming Yue so good at Kung Fu?"

"It's not because he is a kung fu master. The secret guards said that Prince Ming Yue probably knew

that someone was following him, so he specially went to the brothel. He then deliberately created some

chaos inside and then ran away.

By the time the secret guards reacted, he had disappeared.

The secret guards looked around the brothel, but they didn't find out where he was, so they had to go

back to the post house and wait."

Yun Shang knocked on the table with her fingers while asking, "How long had he been away from the

post house?"

"About four hours."

More than 4 hours!

Yun Shang bit her lower lip gently. More than four hours were enough to do a lot of things.

Yun Shang had already expected that Prince Ming Yue should have placed a lot of people in the city.

After getting rid of the secret guards this time, he should have gone to arrange them in secret.

But it was unknown what he was going to do next.

Now that Prince Ming Yue could enjoy so much fame and prestige, they should not have come out of

the blue.

According to Yun Shang's opinion, sixty or seventy percent of her plan was just a fluke, not her ability

to make him fall into her trap.

After suffering a loss from her, Prince Ming Yue would probably try his best to get it back.

But he didn't know how to get it back.

"I've already scolded the secret guards. I've told them to keep a very close eye on Prince Ming Yue and

not to fall into his trap."

"It's not their fault." Yun Shang was calm,

"Just keep an eye on him. I'd like to see what he wants to do next.

Anyway, this is still our territory. No matter what he wants to do, I'm not afraid anymore."

Yun Shang dressed neatly and began to have breakfast.

As soon as she finished eating the porridge, she saw a servant coming in in a hurry, "Your majesty, a

message from the East Palace said that the crown prince..."

Seeing the maid in such a hurry, Yun Shang stood up as if she had known what the maid might say,

"What's the matter with the crown prince?"

Was it possible that Prince Ming Yue wanted to take actions from Chengye?

Was it possible that even the East Palace was so heavily guarded he could still do something there?

Thinking of this, Yun Shang's face turned paler.

The maid was also startled by Yun Shang's reaction. She hurriedly said, "The people from the East

Palace said that the crown prince had a cold last night, probably because he didn't sleep well. He had a

fever before, but now he has recovered from it and he is now only a little listless..."

Yun Shang was stunned and soon she came to her senses. She found that she had overreacted.

The East Palace was heavily guarded. There was no doubt that Chengye would be fine.

Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you sent for an imperial physician?"

The maid didn't know whether Yun Shang was happy or angry. She answered with trepidation, "Yes, we

did. The imperial physician said that it was just a normal cold and fever, but he might get hot again and

again. We just need to wash his body with water to lower the temperature. The imperial physician had

prescribed some medicine." NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Yun Shang nodded, "Let's go. I'll go to the East Palace."

When they arrived at the East Palace, Yun Shang saw Chengye lying on the bed listlessly. His face

was still a little red, and his eyes were red, too. His eyelashes were still wet, as if he had just cried.

Seeing Yun Shang come in, he called in a hoarse voice, "Mother..."

Yun Shang sat down on the edge of the bed and held him in her arms. She touched his forehead and

asked, "Why do you still have a fever?"

"The imperial physician said that it's normal for children to have a fever repeatedly."

Yun Shang nodded and touched Chengye's hand. Although it was still hot on his forehead, his hands

and feet were a little cold.

Yun Shang frowned, "Since his hands and feet are cold, he is still having fever."

Then Yun Shang lowered her head and asked Chengye, "Bao'er, how do you feel?"

"Cold." Tears welled up in Chengye's eyes as he looked at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang nodded, pulled up the quilt and wrapped him up.

"Keep an eye on him. If he gets hot on his forehead and his hands and feet are cold, he will feel cold all

over. Pay attention to keep him warm.

When his hands and feet start to get hot, you can wipe his body to lower his temperature. The water

can not be be too hot or too cold. You can just let the crown prince sit in the water,while you rub his

body. You can help him put on his clothes when the temperature drops.

Don't put the ice basin in the room, and don't let the crown prince go near the wind,"

Yun Shang ordered calmly. Then she turned to the wet nurse standing next to her and asked, "I heard

from a servant that the imperial physician prescribed some medicine?"

"Yes, your majesty." The wet nurse quickly took out the prescription and said, "Your majesty, this is the

paper prescribed by the imperial physician. I've asked someone to prepare the medicine. And it was

kept warm, but his highness doesn't want to drink it... "

Yun Shang took the prescription and looked at it. She nodded, "There's nothing wrong with it. Where is

the medicine?"

The wet nurse hurriedly presented the medicine to Yun Shang. Seeing the medicine bowl, Chengye

drilled into Yun Shang's arms again and said in a spoiled manner, "Mother, I don't want to take the

medicine."

"How can you not take medicine? You can't recover, if you don't take medicine. You will always feel

uncomfortable. "

"I don't want to take medicine even though I feel uncomfortable."

Looking at pitiful Chengye, Yun Shang felt both sorry and funny. They way he didn't like taking

medicine was just like his father.

"You see your voice is hoarse. Why don't you take the medicine?"

Yun Shang picked up the bowl and had a taste herself. She then carefully examined the medicinal

materials in it and made sure that no one had tampered with them. Then she gently persuaded, "Drink

the medicine quickly. I'll ask someone to prepare preserves for you as well as the candied haws."

Normally, in order to have good teeth, the Imperial Palace did not often give Chengye desserts.

Perhaps it was because of the charm of the ice sugar coated haws, Chengye took the bowl after a

moment of silence. Then he clenched his teeth and too over the bowl.

"I want ten candied haw berries."

Yun Shang was amused, "Okay, ten."

Satisfied, Chengye raised his hand and swigged down all the medicine.
