Chapter 452 The Fourth Princess Learns that Consort De Has Been Banished to the Cold Palace
Before long, the imperial physician came to examine the Fourth Princess.
Seeing the palace servants standing outside, I felt a little curious.
"What are you all doing here? Didn't you say the Fourth Princess has woken up? Why aren't you inside serving her?" After saying that, she walked inside.
A young palace maid quickly stopped him: "Physician Xu, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Physician Xu asked, puzzled.
"The Fourth Princess is throwing a tantrum inside and won't let anyone in," the palace maid explained.
"Losing your temper? You can't lose your temper, or you'll aggravate the injury on your back. You all go in and report this immediately, I need to examine the Fourth Princess's injury." Physician Xu was anxious as soon as he heard this. Although he disliked the Fourth Princess, who had a bad temper and was always causing trouble, he couldn't let the patient act recklessly because of his nature as a doctor and his official position.
The palace servants looked at each other, but no one dared to go in.
Finally, it was the young palace maid who said, "Physician Xu, please wait a moment, I'll be right there." After saying that, she took a deep breath and went inside.
"Your Highness." The little palace maid carefully walked around the things on the ground and then bowed to the person on the bed.
"Where have you all gone, you lowly servants?" The Fourth Princess wanted to throw things at anyone she saw, but she had already thrown away everything she could, leaving her with nothing but emptiness, so she had to give up.
She glared fiercely at the little palace maid: "Why aren't you pouring me a cup of tea? Do you want me to die of thirst?"
"Yes, yes." The maid quickly poured her a cup of tea and fed it to her.
After the Fourth Princess finished drinking, the maid said, "Princess, Physician Xu has come to examine you. May I call someone in?"
The Fourth Princess thought of her injuries: "Let him in." She needed to recover quickly so she could go find Lu Zhijin again. Yes, the Fourth Princess hadn't given up. She had already paid such a high price; she wouldn't be willing to give up if she still couldn't win him over.
"Yes, Princess. This servant will let Physician Xu in immediately."
"Physician Xu, when will my injuries heal?" the Fourth Princess asked, looking at Physician Xu who was treating her.
"Your Highness, the newborn's injuries are quite serious, and it is estimated that it will take about a month for him to fully recover."
"What? A month? Doctor Xu, can you hurry up?" A month? By then, Lu Zhijin and Xiao Siyue might already be married.
The Fourth Princess completely forgot that she was confined to her quarters by the Zhou Emperor, and even if her injuries healed quickly, she was not allowed to leave the palace.
"It can't be quick, the princess's injuries are too severe."
After examining the Fourth Princess, Physician Xu left without lingering.
The fourth princess felt a surge of irritation at the thought that she couldn't leave for this period of time.
"Mother? Where is my mother?" The fourth princess suddenly realized something was wrong. She had been awake for quite some time, but why hadn't she seen her mother?
Her mother loved her the most, so it was impossible for her not to watch over her. Could something have happened? She remembered that her mother was right in front of her when she was beaten before. Could her mother have been injured as well?
No, Xuanyuan Xue, Xuanyuan Xue took advantage of my unconsciousness to complain to the Emperor, could it be that Mother Consort has already...
The fourth princess felt a surge of panic. Ignoring her injuries, she struggled to sit up and tried to get out of bed.
"Princess, Princess, what are you doing? You're injured, and the imperial physician said you can't move around." A palace maid quickly helped the person who was about to fall.
"Where is my mother! Where is my mother?" The fourth princess grabbed the princess's shoulder tightly with great anxiety and shook her violently, as if trying to convey all the unease and fear in her heart through this force.
The palace maid was so dizzy from being shaken that she could barely stand, but she dared not resist in the slightest and could only stammer, "Your Highness...Princess, please calm down. Consort De is...in the Cold Palace."
After the palace maid finished speaking, she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look at the Fourth Princess's current expression.
"What did you say? My mother is in the Cold Palace? Why would my mother be in the Cold Palace?" The Fourth Princess couldn't believe it. She had thought that her mother would die or be confined to her quarters, but she never imagined that she would be in the Cold Palace.
"Your Highness, Consort De has been banished to the Cold Palace. Without His Majesty's decree, she is absolutely forbidden from stepping out of the Cold Palace!" the palace maid replied tremblingly, her voice slightly shaking, and she dared not raise her head.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess was struck dumb, frozen in place. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the cold, hard ground, her face turning deathly pale, her lips losing all color. Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes, sliding down her delicate, fair cheeks and dripping onto the ground like fragile, shimmering pearls.
"Mother, I want to see you." The Fourth Princess and Consort De had a very good relationship. The Fourth Princess couldn't bear to think of her mother suffering in the Cold Palace.
"Princess, please take care of yourself!" The little palace maid was extremely anxious; the princess had just had medicine applied to her body.
"Get out of my way, I want to see my mother." The fourth princess shook off the maid's hand and walked towards the outer door. However, she was still weak from her recent injury and fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.
"Princess!" the little palace maid cried out, drawing the people outside in.
This sight was terrifying; blood was seeping from the Fourth Princess's back again, and her face was growing increasingly pale.
"Quickly, help the princess to bed, then go and fetch the imperial physician."
The palace servants were in a panic. Although the Fourth Princess had lost power, she was still His Majesty's daughter. If anything happened to her, they would definitely be punished.
"Mother, Mother." The Fourth Princess called out again and again, tears streaming down her face. It was she who had harmed her mother. If it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't be in this state.
At this moment, the Fourth Princess was filled with guilt and remorse, all because of her.
Before Physician Xu could return, he was stopped again by palace servants who had caught up with him.
"Imperial Physician Xu, quick! The Fourth Princess's wound is bleeding again. Come with me immediately."
Upon hearing this, Physician Xu immediately followed up: "What happened? Didn't I just bandage it up? Why is it bleeding again?"
"I don't know. It seems the Fourth Princess found out about Consort De's affairs," a palace maid replied quietly.
Physician Xu immediately understood and quickly shut his mouth. This matter was very sensitive at the moment, and he dared not say anything more.
Physician Xu reapplied the medicine to the Fourth Princess and instructed her, "Fourth Princess, your back injury is quite serious. You need to take good care of it. If it's not healed properly, it's very likely to leave a scar." Physician Xu thought that if he said this, the Fourth Princess would probably stop making a fuss.
However, the Fourth Princess was lost in her own thoughts and did not hear what she said at all, so Physician Xu had no choice but to give some instructions to the palace servants.
