and, the manpower at the Fourth Prince's Residence seems a bit strained."He's afraid of having a mixed crowd, so it's okay not to recruit people for now. I'll tell my mother later and ask her to find...Feng Lingxi watched Wan'er reluctantly leave, letting out a light sigh.

"Mother, didn't you say to not worry about his life or death Why are you now saying to let elder sister go fetch a doctor for him"

Feng Siqi looked at her mother sighing, her little face full of confusion.

"You're stupid, if he really died, your sister would be heartbroken. Didn't you see how sad your sister actually was just now" Feng Siyu glared at Feng Siqi with displeasure, she was so clueless.

"Won't you be sad"

"Why am I so sad"

"You're saying one thing but meaning another." Feng Siqi retorted, but she saw Feng Siyu crossing her arms and looking unhappy.

The news that Dugu City was spitting blood spread quickly. Zhang Taiyi went to treat him immediately, but the diagnosis was even more unsatisfactory than before. He shook his head and muttered, making people angry just by looking at him.

"Doctor Zhang, how is my lord"

"Ouch!"

Doctor Zhang let out a heavy sigh. "Your Highness, your body has truly been ruined by yourself. Your current state is far inferior to before. Didn't we say you shouldn't be stimulated How..."

Ye Xi clenched her fists, “It was the county princess who made the king angry like this.”

Doctor Zhang opened his mouth, as if to speak but stopped himself.

Everyone in the capital knows about this Lady Wan'er's temper. She and Prince Chen are truly opposites, constantly clashing. The exasperated Prince Chen often spits blood. Ever since his separation from the Princess Consort of Chen, Lady Wan'er has become even more unbearable. While it used to be only occasionally a couple of times, now she does it several times a month. At this rate, in just a few days, the Lord will be ruined.

Dugu City lay on his bed, coughing occasionally. His former handsome face was now pale as paper, seeming to fade away at any moment.

Luo Qin'yi gave him a gentle breath, looking at her master like this, she was really both heartbroken and angry.

Why would the master tolerate them, letting himself end up like this

“Don’t…don’t say her name.”

"Dugu Cheng coughed uncontrollably as he spoke. Luo Qin hurriedly persuaded him, “Your Highness, please don’t talk anymore. Rest well. Your body is like this now, how can you still worry about her You've been so kind to her, yet she doesn't know your hardships. Why don't you treat yourself better"

"Noble Consort Luo, please don't say any more. The Young Master is like this already."

Ye Xi couldn't help but speak, "The county princess is the king's daughter. The king wouldn't allow her to be injured."

Luo Qin was fuming, but there was nothing she could do.

"My Lord, the Miss has arrived."

A report just came in from outside, and I saw Wan'er leading a doctor in. She walked expressionlessly to Du Gu Cheng's side, looking at his frail appearance. She had originally wanted to refute the bad things they said about her outside, but seeing him like this, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Doctor, please have a look at him."

Wan'er turned to face the doctor behind her. The doctor was from the town and had been invited by the General's Mansion. This was his first time entering the mansion, and he was there supposedly to treat Prince Chen. He was trembling with nervousness, afraid of making a mistake, and he was an old doctor with decades of experience. He was also the best doctor in Mingde Town.

Just as the doctor was about to step forward, Luo Qin'i spoke up, her cold eyes sweeping over him, causing him to shrink back in fear.

"My lady, all the imperial physicians from the capital are here. We don't need any other doctors."

"Consort Luo, the physician I brought here is not here to treat you. Don't tell me what to do! If you have the ability, go get Imperial Physician Zhang to examine you. Why, after five years in the mansion, haven't you given Prince Chen's Manor a single child"

"You..."

Luo Qin was furious. If it weren't for her relationship with the mistress, she would have retorted. Over the years, because of this, she didn't know how much ridicule and scorn she had endured from others. Now even this little girl was bullying her.

"Yiy, you go out first."

Dugu Cheng's voice was calm. "Since Wan'er brought a doctor for this king, then let the doctor take a look."

Luo Qinyi angrily flicked her sleeves, but she didn't mean to leave.

Ye Xi hurriedly asked the doctor to come forward. The county princess invited a doctor for the king, this is a good sign, it shows that the county princess still cares about the king.

Seeing that Lu Qin'yi had gone out, Wan'er was too lazy to argue with her. She said to the doctor:

"Take good care of him, give him medicine to cure his illness, you can't just let him die like this."

"The old man will do his best."

The doctor hurriedly stepped forward to take Dugu City's pulse, carefully examining him, afraid that he would be scolded if he made a mistake. He wouldn't have come if it wasn't for the double consultation fee.

Zhang the doctor didn't say anything, and his attitude was humble. Seeing the physician diagnose the Crown Prince, taking his pulse, these skillful movements, and the judgment of the condition, to have such a skilled doctor in this town is indeed remarkable.

"My Lady, the Lord is suffering from a long-term case of melancholia. He's overworked and it has damaged his lungs. This illness can be either serious or mild. If we can help him resolve his emotional distress and he takes his medicine on time, it's still possible to cure him."

Dr. Zhang nodded, "What the old man said is right, but the problem is how to untie the knot in the prince's heart."

"This..."

The physician looked at Dugu City and truthfully said, “Your Highness, this heart ailment still needs to be treated with a remedy for the heart. If you cannot untie the knot in your heart, even if it were a great celestial being, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to help.”

Dr. Zhang nodded in agreement. This was something he had been saying for many years of practice, but the Crown Prince had never been able to let go of his knot.

Dugu City raised his hand, "This king knows, you all go down. This king wants to rest for a while."

Every check always yielded the same result, which he had long grown accustomed to.

Wan'er followed the doctor out and hurried to stop him.

"Doctor, what is his heart condition"

The physician shook his head. "This princess's condition, you must ask the Prince of Dawn. I don't know."

The county princess bit her lip and glanced inside. Could her illness really be what they said, caused by her mother

At first, he turned white overnight. It was said to be because of his mother, but his backyard never stopped taking in new women. Could it be that he wanted his mother to compromise and let him have a harem like the emperor, with three thousand women

Waner clenched her fists, and her sympathy for Dugu City disappeared.

Compared to him, Wan'er felt more sympathy for her mother. She could only marry her father, but why couldn't her father have only her mother as a woman

"My lord, the county princess still cares about you."

Ye Xi comforted, "Should I call her over You two could have a good chat, clear the air. That would be good."

Dugu City heard that Wa'er asked the doctor outside, his eyes were full of relief.

"No need, Wan'er is still young, don't force her. Go find Lu Nian for me. Luo Qin'yi's emotional fluctuations have been rather large recently, so let her rest for a while. For now, she won't be accompanying me."

"Your Highness, are you letting her return to the capital first"

Ye Xi frowned, although this was good, but if Luo Side Concubine wasn't by her side, it would be easy to arouse suspicion. If this reached the palace, I'm afraid it would bring trouble to the King again.

"Let her go back first. The Empress Dowager's side also needs people to deal with, you let her handle this matter, and besides, keep an eye on her."

Dugu Cheng thought of Luo Qin'i's attitude just now, feeling a little uneasy. He was afraid that Luo Qin'i would tell the Empress Dowager about Wan'er, which might lead to the Empress Dowager's displeasure.

< >as sent a letter."Xiaoli excitedly came in holding the letter and handed it to Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi happily took it, looked at the contents of the letter, and a smile appeared on her stunning face...
