Chapter 514 It's too late
Princess Ning's courtyard.
Xiao Qingxi paced back and forth in great anxiety. She felt that time was passing extremely slowly and every moment was a huge torture.
Finally, footsteps were heard outside, and she hurried over to open the curtain herself: "Madame Quan, how is it? Did Shen Wantang agree to come and save my father and mother?"
Nanny Quan shook her head and said, "I went to ask for help, but the Crown Prince's wife said that her medical skills were limited and she couldn't cure the prince and princess. She asked us to invite the imperial physician next time."
Xiao Qingxi was so anxious that her mouth was about to blister: "How could she not cure it? Didn't she cure my mother's headaches and fainting before? She's lying! She said that on purpose, she just wanted me to kneel down to her!"
Nanny Quan pleaded, "Why don't you condescend to ask the Crown Prince's wife for help? No matter whether it can be cured or not, you still have to give it a try."
"No, how can I ask Shen Wantang for help? Where will I put my face in the future?"
Nanny Quan was extremely disappointed. At this point in time, the prince and princess's biological daughter didn't care about their lives, but only cared about her own face. They really loved her in vain. At the critical moment, she could only make trouble and couldn't help at all.
If she had been nicer today, Shen Wantang might have come to the rescue. But she kept cursing and shouting at him, and Shen Wantang had a bad temper, so how could he possibly listen to her?
"Go, go and get the imperial physicians for my father and mother! Ask them to prescribe the best medicine. After my father and mother take the medicine, they might wake up tomorrow. We don't have to beg that cheap bastard Shen Wantang for help at all!"
"This……"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and go! Nanny Quan will not think that my father and mother are seriously ill and I have lost my support, so she will not obey my orders, right?"
"I dare not. I will go and get the imperial physician right away."
Nanny Quan sighed, turned around and walked out.
It’s not that she was unwilling to invite an imperial physician for the prince and princess, but the best doctors in the palace had already been invited and the prescriptions had been prescribed. What’s the point in inviting some mediocre doctors?
The imperial doctors were all afraid that the medicine they prescribed would kill someone, and they were afraid of being held responsible, so the prescriptions they wrote were very conservative and mild. The prince and princess could stabilize their coma after taking the medicine they prescribed, and the person would not die, but it would be impossible for them to wake up.
Soon, another imperial physician arrived.
The doctor who came this time was a rather young one. When Xiao Qingxi saw how young he was, he immediately scolded both Nanny Quan and the doctor.
She wanted the imperial physician to get out, but it was only after Nanny Quan begged her that she reluctantly agreed to let the imperial physician take her pulse.
But after the imperial physician felt the prince's pulse, the prescription he wrote was almost the same as the ones written by the previous imperial physicians. He was asked to give the prince and princess a few injections, but he didn't dare to do so. He insisted that their conditions were very dangerous and that it would be easy to get into trouble if they did. It was better to treat them step by step.
"Get lost! Another quack, a piece of trash!"
Xiao Qingxi started cursing and drove the imperial physician away.
Until the early morning of the next day, all the imperial physicians who could be invited had been consulted, but the condition of Prince Ning and Princess Ning had not improved at all. Both of them were still unconscious, and their breathing even began to become weak.
Xiao Qingxi hadn't slept all night. Her eye sockets were sunken and there was a large dark shadow under her eyes. "What's going on? Why is the medicine I swallowed ineffective? Father and mother were never like this before. They were in good health!"
"Are those quack doctors lying to me? Are they all prescribing random medicines? Do they not want to save my father and mother at all?"
"It must be Shen Wantang. This must be Shen Wantang's doing! She bribed the imperial physician! She wanted to force me to kneel down and beg her for help!"
Nanny Quan's eyes were bloodshot. She glanced at Xiao Qingxi and wanted to say something, but swallowed her words back.
Xiao Qingxi scolded her a lot throughout the night, so she didn't want to try to persuade him anymore.
She was so old, and even the princess respected her a little and seldom said harsh words to her. Not to mention the prince's wife, who was always polite and respectful when speaking to her. Only Xiao Qingxi didn't treat her as a human being at all and scolded her whenever she wanted.
When Nanny Kang saw that Nanny Quan was silent, she knew that she was heartbroken by Xiao Qingxi's scolding.
She sighed and whispered, "Master, Shen Wantang is not that capable of bribing all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Stop imagining this and go ask her to save him!"
Xiao Qingxi suddenly burst into tears: "Why? Why should I beg a lowly thing like Shen Wantang! My father and mother will definitely wake up, they are fine, they don't need Shen Wantang to save them!"
She cried for a long time, and the anger and anxiety in her heart finally eased a little. But when she looked up, she saw her father and mother lying side by side on the bed. They were pale, motionless, breathing weakly, and without a sound.
A strong sense of panic surged from all directions, squeezing her so hard that she could hardly breathe.
This was a pressure that she simply could not bear. She had never thought that she would end up like this. How come she suddenly had to shoulder everything in Prince Ning's Mansion?
Shouldn't she hide behind her father, mother and brother and be a carefree princess who does whatever she wants?
But now, she has lost her title of princess and her brother is gone.
Could it be that my father and mother are also going to die?
Xiao Qingxi squatted down in panic and fear, hugged himself, and started crying again.
The long day finally passed with Xiao Qingxi's countless collapses. As night fell, the situation of Prince Ning and Princess Ning became worse.
Another imperial physician came and took the patient's pulse, then shook his head with a serious expression. He left without prescribing any medicine.
Xiao Qingxi's face turned pale in an instant. The imperial physician before at least pretended to be polite by taking the patient's pulse, prescribing medicine and reminding him of various precautions. But now, the imperial physician simply gave up on treating him.
She was trembling all over, but she refused to beg Shen Wantang. She gritted her teeth and said, "Madame Kang, get someone to prepare a car! I want to go to the palace! I want to see the emperor and the queen mother! I don't believe that Shen Wantang would dare not treat my father and mother with the order of the emperor and the queen mother!"
"My Lord, why do you have to go so far? The Crown Prince's Consort is in the mansion, you just need to say a few nice words..."
"Shut up! Go get the car ready!"
Nanny Kang had no choice but to hurry out.
An hour later.
Xiao Qingxi brought the empress dowager back to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Because a eunuch had come to the palace to deliver a message in advance, Shen Wantang brought people to greet them at the door.
As soon as the Queen Mother got off the carriage, Shen Wantang knelt down, and behind her, the maids and guards also knelt on the ground.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother. Long live the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked down at her with a cold and disdainful tone: "It's you who forced Qingxi to kneel down to you?"
