Chapter 288 Pretending to Faint
Anyone can see how angry the ghosts Xu Chuyi and Lvliu are.
Concubine An and the second prince both changed their expressions.
Ling Chu pasted a talisman on the altar and said coldly, "My Lady Xianfei, the second prince promised to marry Lvliu as his consort. If he changes his mind, my altar can't hold them. If you anger those two ghosts again, have you thought about the consequences?"
The second prince's face was gloomy. He thought Ling Chu would not have to marry Lvliu if he took her.
Concubine An's face was even uglier. How could she be willing to let such a lowly maid be her son's consort?
Lvliu and Xu Chuyi dared to hurt her and Mu'er, she would never forgive them.
The Taoist priest of Chongxu Temple is also good at mystical arts. I don't believe they can't even deal with two ghosts.
Concubine An plans to send someone to invite them into the palace soon.
"Since Miss Ling is not in good health, you don't need to work hard on this matter. You leave the jar and I will have someone deal with it."
"Okay, then give it to the Concubine Xian."
Ling Chu could probably guess what Concubine An was thinking.
She didn't say anything about this, but smiled and signaled Xia Zhi to hand the altar to the maid beside Concubine An.
The emperor looked at the second prince with a gloomy face, feeling a little disappointed.
Lvliu was just a maid, and even if she was given the title of a concubine, it was already a promotion for her. The emperor didn't expect that the second prince was so scared that he agreed in person before he even asked.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, it was not easy to go back on his words.
"I have taught you that a man cannot stand without trust, a business cannot flourish without trust, and a country will decline without trust. Since you have agreed in person, let the Imperial Astronomical Observatory pick a day and bury Lvliu according to the regulations of the prince's consort."
"Yes, I will follow my father's teachings."
The emperor saw that the second prince agreed in a proper manner and stopped scolding him. Thinking of the wounds on him and Concubine An, he was about to ask Ling Chu to help them.
But before he could speak, he heard a panicked scream, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Ning Chuyi's face changed slightly. He was about to step forward, but he stopped as soon as he raised his foot.
Ling Chu closed his eyes and heard the trembling in Xia Zhi's words. He knew that he had scared her. He felt a little guilty and hurriedly pulled her sleeve quietly.
Concubine An, the second prince and Han Yao were bitten by Lvliu and Xu the kitchen servant. Ling Chu didn't want to treat them.
So he fainted before the emperor spoke.
Ling Chu pretended to faint. He couldn't tell Xia Zhi in advance in front of everyone, so he could only pull her sleeve quietly by blocking her body.
Noticing her movements, Xia Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to show it on her face. She was still worried.
No one suspected that Ling Chu was pretending, after all, she had coughed so violently just now that she looked like she was about to die.
If Ning Chuyi had not been secretly watching her and happened to be standing in a good position, he would not have noticed her little movements.
Knowing that Ling Chu was pretending, Ning Chuyi's worries disappeared.
But he frowned again soon.
If this was discovered, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
The emperor saw Ling Chu's eyes were closed and she fainted in the arms of the maid beside her.
He frowned.
He was still hoping that Ning Chuyi would come to his senses, but this Miss Ling was in such a poor health that she fainted at any time. From now on...
Seeing Ning Chuyi frowning, he thought he was worried about Ling Chu's health.
He sighed in his heart, that's all, it's rare to see him care about a girl. If he objects, it would be bad if this boy really never marries for the rest of his life.
Marrying someone with a poor health is better than not marrying at all.
After comforting himself for a few words, the emperor turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Call the imperial physician."
Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat. If he was found to be pretending, it would be bad.
Ning Chuyi's heart also tightened.
Just as she was thinking about how to help Ling Chu block the imperial physician, she saw her quietly pulling Xia Zhi's sleeve.
Ling Chu was not worried. Although she was pretending, her health was indeed not good. Even if the imperial physician took her pulse, it would only prove that what she said was true.
The imperial physician came very quickly.
The eunuch who delivered the message was in a hurry. The imperial physician thought that the emperor was not feeling well, so he didn't have time to ask more questions and hurried over with the medicine box.
After arriving, he knew that the emperor was not unwell, and the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he found out that he was asked to see a girl, he was not very happy. He almost ran to death just now.
But the emperor was watching from the side, so the imperial physician didn't dare to complain.
After a thorough inspection, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this girl has a root of disease from her mother's womb. She looks fine on the surface, but she is very weak inside.
She cannot be stimulated or overworked on weekdays. If she is well cared for with good medicine, she may live for another three or two years. Otherwise, she may be gone in the blink of an eye."
Ning Chuyi's face was frighteningly gloomy.
Although he knew that Ling Chu was pretending to faint, Ning Chuyi also knew that she was not in good health on weekdays, but he did not expect that she was so bad.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and felt suffocated and uncomfortable.
Ning Chuyi was stunned. He knew that he had always been cold and indifferent. He had no relationship with Miss Ling, so he should not care about her life or death.
But why did he feel so painful and sad when he heard that she was dying?
Han Yao had been unconscious since she was bitten by Xu's kitchen servant.
Princess Dingyuan was worried. Seeing the imperial physician, she asked the maid to help her over to the imperial physician for pulse diagnosis.
Unexpectedly, she felt a sudden pain in her heart and her body shook when she heard the imperial physician's words.
When Prince Dingyuan and his men saw that she looked bad, they thought she was worried about Han Yao's health.
But no one knew the doubts in Princess Dingyuan's heart at this time.
Han Yao was bitten by a ghost. Although she was worried, she didn't feel heartbroken. Why did she feel so heartbroken that she almost suffocated when she heard the words of the imperial physician?
It was as if her daughter would soon die.
Princess Dingyuan suddenly felt guilty towards Han Yao. She felt that she was insane. Why did she feel that Ling Chu was her daughter?
Princess Dingyuan wanted to focus her attention on Han Yao, but she couldn't help but look at Ling Chu.
Seeing her face was almost transparent, she felt a dull pain in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to take her to Dingyuan Palace. But thinking of the conflict between Han Yao and her, she sighed deeply again.
The emperor didn't expect Ling Chu's body to be so bad. She fainted, so naturally she couldn't let her treat the wounds of Concubine An and others.
Thinking of Ling Chu's act of saving the emperor just now, the emperor asked the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription, and then gave a bunch of health supplements, in addition to 1,000 taels of silver and a lot of silk and satin.
When Lvliu went crazy, Lingchu stood in front of the emperor and the queen mother, which was considered to be saving the queen mother.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the queen mother couldn't help but show some appreciation, and then rewarded two sets of headwear and jewelry.
Concubine An was demoted to a virtuous concubine, and she and the second prince were bitten by ghosts. The queen thought that these were all Lingchu's credit.
After all, if she hadn't calculated that there were pufferfish in Jinghua Palace, it wouldn't have caused so many things later.
