Forced Into the Palace: Becoming the Emperor's Favorite-Chapter 406 Mrs. Yun’s Consultation

Then, pretending to be very righteous, he said to the courtier he had just beaten.

"I was a bit impatient and frightened you. I will send some medicine to your residence later. This bruise should heal in half a month at most, so it won’t delay your visits during the New Year."

His words sounded so natural, as if the courtier should thank him.

But anger aside, no one dared to speak rudely to this Fourth Prince anymore.

Indeed, he managed to teach them a lesson in one go.

When the Fourth Prince grandly went to the manor outside the city to fetch Madam Yun, Doctor Dou had already been informed in advance.

Therefore, coordinating with Feng Jichun, they hurriedly arranged for Madam Yun to return to the manor first.

She had just sat down for half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when the voice of the Fourth Prince seeking medical help came from outside.

"My Princess Consort is seriously ill for unknown reasons. I kindly ask Second Madam Dong to come to the mansion for a detailed examination."

His attitude was so earnest that it was hard to believe that the Fourth Prince, who had just been beating people, could also have such a good temper.

It seemed that one’s disposition could indeed be infuriating when compared to others.

However, even villains have their advantages.

At least his fierce demeanor scared away many who intended to hinder.

Even if they knew there were some hidden schemes, they dared not openly stop him.

They ground their teeth in hatred behind his back, but what could they do?

Second Madam Dong walked out of the manor and calmly said.

"Your Highness exaggerates. It is my duty as a court physician’s wife to attend to the Fourth Princess Consort."

What Second Madam Dong said made perfect sense.

After all, she is now a true physician of the Imperial Hospital.

It is only right for her to attend to the royal family.

"Second Madam, please."

"Your Highness, please."

Watching Second Madam Yun board the carriage and head towards the city.

The women of the Dong Family standing at the gate kept silently praying in their hearts.

Hoping that Mrs. Yun could successfully clear the Dong Family’s grievances.

The carriage traveled quickly, fearing delays in attending to the Princess Consort’s illness.

So it wasn’t long before they arrived at the Prince Mansion.

Second Madam Yun was no longer a mere prisoner.

Someone even the Fourth Prince had to defer to slightly, who would dare act rashly in front of her?

Upon entering the Prince Mansion.

Straight to the courtyard where the Princess Consort was, Second Madam Yun saw the "seriously ill" Fourth Princess Consort.

But that one glance left Yun somewhat startled.

The Fourth Princess Consort was glowing with health; where was there any illness?

Even if a healthy man stood before her, he might not be as well-maintained as she was.

So she frowned and asked.

"Your Highness and Princess Consort, what is the meaning of this?"

Before the Fourth Prince could speak, the Fourth Princess Consort explained.

"Today, we used this method to invite you, Second Madam, because the Imperial Concubine in the palace is unwell. The Emperor is anxious but doesn’t trust anyone, so the Prince and I performed this act to invite you to prescribe a remedy to nurse the Imperial Concubine’s health."

Such a grand scheme, and it turned out this was the reason behind it all.

Yun felt somewhat helpless but also became worried.

She immediately asked.

"What happened to the Imperial Concubine? Is her pregnancy unstable?"

Perhaps Yun’s words were too alarming, for the Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess Consort were stunned.

So the Imperial Concubine has been losing weight and has lost her appetite because of this?

The Emperor and they thought it was because of the Dong Family’s matter that led to it.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for the Emperor.

Ha, they’ve gone too far this time.

They originally planned to use the Dong Family’s matter as a pretext to catch a hidden enemy.

So the Emperor made sure to maintain appearances at the traveling palace.

He hadn’t been to Ruiyang Pavilion for over half a month.

Though there hadn’t been any official decree banning anyone from entering, many were aware of this action.

Hence, everyone in the traveling palace said that Consort Yin Ning had lost imperial favor due to family ties.

Some were happy about this, while others were worried.

If not for the "scout" beside the Emperor, he wouldn’t be "coldly treating" Lin Wanyi just to put up a show.

So as much as he worried and grew anxious, he couldn’t show it openly.

They could only perform this act with the Fourth Prince and Fourth Princess Consort.

Unlike the dazed Fourth Prince, the Fourth Princess Consort was the first to react.

She immediately grabbed Yun’s hand and said.

"Is Her Highness truly pregnant?"

"Yes, when I last entered the palace to check her pulse, it was already nearly three months; now, she’s four months along."

Four months?!

The child has grown so much, yet the Emperor isn’t even aware he’s going to be a father.

For a brief moment, the Fourth Prince found the Emperor quite pitiful.

But upon thinking further, if they didn’t resolve this swiftly, they might alert the enemy, making it harder to deal with later.

So he said to Yun.

"Second Madam, think of a way. Since the Imperial Concubine is pregnant, she must be carefully tended to, or the repercussions might be far-reaching."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Princess Consort’s fist came hammering down.

Beating the Fourth Prince until he winced, utterly embarrassed. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Right then, the Fourth Princess Consort glared at the Fourth Prince.

And said sternly.

"If anything happens to the Imperial Concubine, I want to see where you and the Emperor will cry!"

Second Madam Yun listened in confusion; wasn’t the Imperial Concubine supposed to be unwell?

What does this have to do with the Fourth Prince and the Emperor?

The Fourth Prince chuckled awkwardly.

But since this matter was of great importance, he didn’t explain further to Second Madam Yun.

Though Yun wasn’t adept at socializing, she could still see through such subtleties.

Since the Fourth Prince was withholding information, she refrained from asking further.

So upon learning of Lin Wanyi’s recent disinterest in food and severe fatigue, she began considering how to nurse her health.

"Rest assured, Fourth Prince, taking care of the Imperial Concubine is my duty. Her current discomfort might be related to her anxious mood. Her attendant Xia An knows some medical skills, so if there’s any situation, ask her. Her diagnosis could help refine my prescription."

"Alright, I understand."

Subsequently, Yun could only deduce Lin Wanyi’s current condition based on the pulse diagnosis that day and the Fourth Prince’s account, then carefully wrote a prescription.

It’s not very practical to send raw medicinal materials inside, so the pills were the most convenient option.

This would also make it less likely for others to detect.

For Yun, preparing pills was not complicated.

Many of the Dong Family’s pills used to come from her hands.

Fortunate that the Fourth Princess Consort was "seriously ill," granting access to all precious medicinal herbs.

So after the Fourth Princess Consort sent trusted individuals to collect the medicine, Second Madam Yun immediately knelt and earnestly pleaded before the Fourth Prince.
