Chapter 91: Sounding Out (Part 2)

It had long past the time for the changing of guards, but Ming Ze was still waiting outside Qing Feng Hall. The more he thought about the black cladded person, the more he felt that it was not right but he did not caught him and there was nothing abnormal in Qing Feng Hall thus he did not report it up. He had waited overnight, just to tell her to be careful but the more he stood outside the hall, the more ridiculous he felt. As only a bodyguard, how could he speak privately to her Ladys.h.i.+p? Better forget it!

Ming Ze straightened up and was just about to leave when a familiar light blue-clad figure quickly walked out. Ming Ze called out without much thought, “Wait.”

Fu Ling’s footsteps paused and asked unsurely, “You called me?”

What expression was this? Ming Ze was complaining in his heart if his call for her deserved such a surprise look, but he still maintained a cold look, “Last night, I discovered that there were black-clad persons around. You should let her… Imperial Concubine Qing be more careful.”

When Fu Ling heard the words black-clad persons, she got shocked and did not pay attention to the ‘her’ that Ming Ze softly said. She anxiously asked, “Did he broke into Qing Feng Hall?”

“No.”

It seemed that he did not catch him if he were to subtly remind her like that. It would seem that the black-clad person know who and where to go clearly. “I understand, I will be careful.” Remembering Mistress’s instruction, Fu Ling was afraid that she would leave the Palace late so she gave a bow and smiled at him after she spoke and quickly left.

Ming Ze’s brows slightly knitted. Fu Ling’s smile was gentle like the spring breeze and anyone would feel very comfortable but he could not forget that absolutely beautiful but in a sorry state smile in that rainy night.

The child’s body temperature seems to be getting higher and higher as Qing Feng held him as she anxiously paced around the room. At this time Ru Yi lead the two Imperial Physician, w.a.n.g Zhi Yang and Lin Feng, quickly in. The two of them immediately knelt and gave their greetings when they entered, “Greeting Imperial Concubine Qing, long live your…”

Qing Feng was not bothered by these formalities at such a time and urgently said, “Alright, dispense the ceremony. Quickly diagnose and treat the Prince. His body is so hot like it is burning up.”

“Yes.”

Qing Feng gently put the child down on the big bed and watched as the two Imperial Physicians took his pulse individually. She really wanted to know the child’s condition but dare not interrupt the Imperial Physicians. Her eyes kept looking at the child and the Imperial Physician back and forth that if the physician gave a frown, it would enough for her to jump out of her skin.

Finally, w.a.n.g Zhi Yan kept his medical tools and left the edge of the bed. Qing Feng quickly asked, “Imperial Physician w.a.n.g, how is the prince?”

“May your Ladys.h.i.+p be a.s.sured. Prince Zhi was a preterm baby and his body is naturally weak. This time he should have caught a pathogenic bacteria influence and the heat was not fully emitted thus the fever came strongly and fiercely. This official will brew a few doses of medicine for Prince Zhi to use. It ought to be fine.”

Ought to be? Qing Feng was still not a.s.sured and turned around to ask Lin Feng who was still taking the pulse, “Imperial Physician Lin?”

w.a.n.g Zhi Yang was the Emperor’s personal physician and was the personally taught disciple of old Imperial Physician Huang. Lin Feng naturally did not refute his diagnosis and the Little Prince’s pulse was strong. It was only a persistent high fever and since Imperial Physician w.a.n.g said that it was of no matter, it would be of no matter. Lin Feng withdrew his hands and echoed, “As per Imperial Physician w.a.n.g said, your Ladys.h.i.+p need not be too worried.”

Qing Feng gave a gentle sigh of relief, “Ru Yi, go with the Imperial Physician to retrieve the medication.”

“Yes.”

After receiving the a.s.surances from the two Imperial Physicians, Qing Feng’s hanging heart could finally rest a little. She sat down to rest and carried her son in her arms. Qing Feng stared at his red little face and did not even think about anything and just quietly looked at him.

“Your Ladys.h.i.+p… Your Ladys.h.i.+p?”

Qing Feng did not know how long had pa.s.sed when that voice called her a few times. She looked up with a stunned look and saw Shen Yao pointed outside the screen. It was then when Qing Feng found out that two persons had been standing outside since don’t know when. Both of them waited for quite some time but she did not reply. Fu Ling’s soft voice floated from the other side of the screen, “Mistress, Lou Furen is here.”

Qing Feng’s body could not help but s.h.i.+vered, no longer did she have the joy and antic.i.p.ation of seeing her family. Now she felt that her heart was pounding and she was so nervous and uneasy. Qing Feng took a deep breath quietly before replying, “Come in.”

When Zhuo Qing entered the inner chambers, she felt that Qing Feng was a little strange. She just sat on the bed staring at her and her face was so white as she never seen her before. Comparing the full month banquet yesterday, her expression was like she was in a trance and looked very haggard. Even though her current situation seems bad, she was still carrying the child in her arms, Zhuo Qing shook her head and advised, “Taking care of children is very tiring, you must pay attention to your health.”
