Think of another way?

Concubine Jing shook her head. If there was another way, would she wait here?

Concubine Jing insisted on spending time here, and Sujuan had no choice but to continue to accompany Concubine Jing.

After about half an hour, Prince Ning and others walked out of Jianzhang Palace one after another.

Now that Prince Ning and others have come out, it means that the emperor is done with his work. Concubine Jing moved her body and wanted to step forward.

However, her body swayed twice without her control. Concubine Jing forced herself to stand firm, but it was in vain.

"Empress!" Sujuan screamed and hurriedly supported the fallen Concubine Jing.

The movement here attracted the attention of Prince Ning and others, as well as the attention of the young eunuch in Jianzhang Palace.

A young eunuch came over to help Sujuan support Concubine Jing, while another young eunuch trotted in and reported the matter to Lian Yongwang.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing has fainted." Lian Yongwang waved the young eunuch away and whispered to Luo Chengjing.

Luo Chengjing said calmly: "Send her back to Qingren Palace and let the imperial doctor take a look at her."

"Yes." Lian Yongwang responded.

The little eunuch obediently went out and followed Lian Yongwang's instructions without waiting.

Prince Ning and others saw the whole process of Concubine Jing fainting and being sent back to Qingren Palace by the emperor, and they also knew that the emperor would never show mercy to the He family.

Next, they don't have to worry about how to deal with the He family.

After finishing dinner, Lu Wanning walked in the small garden of Ruichang Palace and read a book for a while. A quarter after midnight, Lu Wanning closed the book in his hand and just opened it under the wait of Qingzhi and others.

After bunking, Luo Chengjing strode in.

"I have met the emperor."

Lu Wanning saluted quickly with an excited look on her face.

Luo Chengjing supported Lu Wanning and said, "Beloved, you don't need to be polite."

After saying this, Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning's belly. Lu Wanning was wearing pajamas at the moment, and his protruding belly was clearly visible.

Lu Wanning smiled, took Luo Chengjing's hand and put it on his belly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please touch him. He hasn't seen his father for more than five months, and I don't know if he will ever see him again."

I'm waiting for my father, but he hasn't done anything yet."

Normally, fetal movement will occur at four to five months of pregnancy. When Lu Wanning was pregnant with the fourth princess, she could clearly feel fetal movement not long after she was just four months old, but this time she was already five months old and she still didn't feel it.

Regarding fetal movement, fortunately, after asking Dr. Min, Dr. Min said that this is normal, and some fetuses move relatively late.

Luo Chengjing gently touched Lu Wanning's belly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

Lu Wanning shook her head and said with a smile: "I eat well and sleep well in the palace. What's so hard about it? It's really hard work for the emperor on this expedition. The emperor has lost weight."

While the two were talking, Lu Wanning suddenly felt her stomach move. She looked down at her belly in surprise. Could it be that this child was really waiting for his father to come back?

"He seemed to have moved just now." Luo Chengjing also said in surprise.

Lu Wanning nodded, "He must know that his father is back."

"My beloved concubine really gave me a surprise." Luo Chengjing said happily.

After that, the two of them waited again, and when they saw that the child in her belly was no longer moving, Lu Wanning said to Luo Chengjing, "It's getting late. Your Majesty has been tired from traveling all the way. Please help me wash and change my clothes."

Luo Chengjing heard this and said: "My beloved concubine is inconvenient, so let the palace maid come."

Lu Wanning did not insist, nodded, and asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to come forward and help Luo Chengjing wash and change clothes.

Luo Chengjing just came back today. After coming back, he dealt with so many political affairs one after another. He was really tired now. After washing, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon.

And Lu Wanning didn't know whether it was because she went to bed late this afternoon, woke up late, or had the big bed all to herself for such a long time. Now she was not used to having an extra person on the bed. She lay in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.

However, for fear of affecting Luo Chengjing on the side, Lu Wanning did not dare to move even if he couldn't sleep. As he lay down, he gradually became a little sleepy.

After being sent to Qingren Palace, Concubine Jing's whole body felt hot and feverish soon after.

After the imperial doctor came to see him, he said that he suddenly fainted because of depression in his heart and catching a cold.

The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but after the medicine was boiled, Concubine Jing had not yet woken up, so Sujuan and the other maids could only forcefully pour it into Concubine Jing's mouth.

The Qingren Palace was in chaos.

In the courtyard of the fifth prince, the eldest palace maid who took care of the fifth prince looked at the fifth prince whose eyes were still open at this moment and asked the fifth prince's wet nurse in a low voice: "Mommy, what should I do? Concubine Jing is still in a coma, this matter cannot be done anymore.

It’s too late, why don’t you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at the fifth prince?”

The fifth prince's wet nurse thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to find Miss Sujuan."

Sujuan gave Concubine Jing some medicine and asked the other palace maids to guard her. She was just about to go back to her room to rest for a while. Today, she stayed with Concubine Jing in the cold outside Jianzhang Palace all afternoon. Although she was in good health, she had no symptoms.

Like Concubine Jing, she fell ill, but she was also very tired now.

Who would have thought that as soon as she walked out of the concubine Jing's house, she would be stopped by the fifth prince's wet nurse.

Sujuan looked at the fifth prince's wet nurse who stopped her angrily and said, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Sujuan, Ping'er and I feel that something is wrong with the fifth prince's situation, and we would like to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the fifth prince." said the fifth prince's wet nurse.

When Sujuan heard the wet nurse's words, her heart suddenly trembled, "Isn't the fifth prince already well? Why is the situation wrong again?"

"The fifth prince...the fifth prince seems to be invisible." The wet nurse said.

This was discovered by the wet nurse and the maid serving the fifth prince this afternoon. However, because the fifth prince was still too young and could not express himself, they did not know whether they were overthinking it. In addition, they knew that Concubine Jing was at this time.

He didn't have the intention to take care of the fifth prince, so he didn't ask the concubine to report to him for the time being.

But after such a long day of observation, the wet nurse and the maid serving the fifth prince were almost sure that the fifth prince could not see anything, so they wanted to go to Concubine Jing to report it, but Concubine Jing herself fell ill and passed out.

The wet nurse had to come to Sujuan and ask Sujuan for advice.

Sujuan heard this and said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for? The imperial doctor hasn't left yet. Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the fifth prince."

The wet nurse responded and went to find the imperial doctor. Sujuan thought about it and went to the fifth prince's courtyard.

After the imperial doctor met the fifth prince, he first diagnosed the fifth prince's pulse, then conducted various tests, and finally confirmed that the fifth prince was indeed blind.

"Imperial physician, how did the fifth prince become blind?" Sujuan asked the imperial physician the reason for the fifth prince's blindness.

The fifth prince's wet nurse and serving maid also wanted to know the reason.

The imperial doctor looked at the scars on the fifth prince's face and sighed: "It should be caused by smallpox. It is said that a small number of people will develop other symptoms after recovering from smallpox. This may be the case with the fifth prince."
