Chapter 658, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
Because of Prince Honghui's serious illness, the atmosphere in Yinzhen's mansion has been oppressive these days, and the servants dare not even breathe loudly.
Inside Honghui's room, the palace maids and eunuchs remained silent, not daring to make a sound. Yinzhen looked at his son's pale face and felt distressed. His expression turned extremely cold and stern. "Imperial Physician, Honghui has been taking medicine for three days. Why is he still not getting better?"
The Fourth Princess Consort wept as she wiped the sweat from her son's brow. He was her only son, and if anything were to happen to him, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
The imperial physician, drenched in cold sweat, trembled under the Fourth Prince's piercing gaze and said, "The young prince has been infected with an evil wind, and given his young age, the dosage should not be too strong, but rather mild. However, as the effects of the medicine gradually weaken, stronger medicines will be needed to supplement it..."
The consequences of such a strong medicine would be dire; one wrong move and one's life would be in danger. The imperial physicians dared not gamble with their own lives and fortunes. Now, they could only wait for the opinions of the Fourth Prince and his wife.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen was stunned. Compared to Yinzhen's hesitation, the Fourth Princess was much more decisive. Looking at her son's pale face, which remained unconscious, she knew that if she did not use medicine now, her son might really have no future.
She only had one son, Honghui, but Fourth Master did not only have one son.
Just as the Fourth Princess Consort gritted her teeth and was about to discuss medication with the imperial physician, Su Peisheng's words interrupted her.
But the Fourth Princess Consort wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at Su Peisheng with excitement and interjected, "What did you just say? Ninth Sister-in-law has a way to save Honghui, right?"
Su Peisheng glanced at the Fourth Prince, then repeated what he had just said: "Yes, the Ninth Prince and his wife visited the Young Prince. The Ninth Prince's wife said that she happened to have some medicine on hand, which might be helpful to Young Prince Honghui."
Fourth Princess Consort automatically ignored the word "maybe." She only had one thought: Ninth Sister-in-law had medicine that could cure Honghui. With that thought, she ran outside without stopping, completely abandoning her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor.
Su Peisheng watched the Fourth Prince's wife's hurried departure, completely oblivious to the Fourth Prince's thoughts. "Fourth Prince, this..."
Yinzhen sighed, "Let her be..."
He didn't know if his ninth sister-in-law really had the medicine, but at this moment he truly hoped she did, otherwise his wife would really collapse.
Lin Jiu was unaware that her admired fourth sister-in-law was rushing toward her, while she listened to the endless ramblings of Prince Yin Tang with utter despair.
“Ajiu, we’re not even sure if this medicine will work. If you just tell us directly and it doesn’t cure Honghui’s illness, then it will be our fault. It’s good to help people, but we can’t…” Yinjiu, with his beautiful but venomous face, kept babbling on and on.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past, bypassing his hand that was holding Lin Jiu. Yin Tang's eyebrows shot up instantly. Hey, who dared to flirt with his wife in front of him?
He rolled up his sleeves and got right to work, but halfway through, he realized that the person was actually his fourth sister-in-law, which was quite awkward. Yinzhen put his hands down and looked embarrassed.
Lin Jiu was startled by the Fourth Princess's appearance, but only for a moment. She quickly calmed down and gently patted the Fourth Princess's hand to comfort her, "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't worry, tell me slowly."
It was impossible not to be anxious; Honghui was waiting to be saved. The Fourth Princess calmed her heartbeat and, once she could speak, finally grabbed Lin Jiu, her face full of expectation: "Ninth Sister-in-law, can you save Honghui!"
"Hmph, I can't say that with such certainty," Yinzhen said, immediately pulling Lin Jiu to his side with a serious expression. "Fourth Sister-in-law, Ajiu didn't say she could save Honghui, but she does have medicine. I don't know if it will be effective. Whether you try it or not is up to you."
It's good enough that they can even provide the medicine; whether it can cure the disease is uncertain. If the result is good, there's nothing to complain about, but if the result is unsatisfactory or even worse, then they'll have to bear the blame.
