Jiafu Palace was the residence that Gu Zhu Lie had given Consort Yang Shu. Whether it was in terms of grandeur or decoration, it wasn't inferior to Jia Yuan Palace. It was enough to show that Gu Zhu Lie loved her more than any of the other concubines.
As the saying goes, a mother is valued by her son. Fifth Prince Gu Zhu Wu Yue was naturally doted on by Gu Zhu Lie. Moreover, no one could compare to his cleverness and cleverness. Everyone knew that this mother and son were the most favored in the harem.
Unfortunately, good fortune never came in pairs, and misfortune never came alone. The Fifth Prince had suddenly contracted a strange illness since last year, and the imperial physicians had tried their best but were unable to cure him. It was no wonder that Consort Yang Shu's brows were tightly knitted from day to night, and she was depressed.
"Sigh!" After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a solution. Consort Yang Shu sighed softly,"Yue 'er."
The child was the flesh that fell from the mother's body. Which mother could watch her child suffer without doing anything? As long as there was a chance for her to bear all of this for him, she would definitely not hesitate.
"Is Xin 'er thinking about Yue' er's illness?”Gu Zhu Lie was also frustrated. He patted Consort Yang Shu's shoulder and frowned.
As the emperor of the Lone Bamboo Kingdom, he had the highest status and honor. He was in his forties, but he was still in high spirits. He was tall and strong, and his face was covered with worry. He shook his head and sighed, then sat down.
"This concubine has disturbed the emperor's mood, this concubine is guilty!”Consort Yang Shu quickly stood up to apologize, but was pulled down by Lone Bamboo Lie.
Her son was suffering, so she wasn't in the mood to drink with him. She wanted to force a smile, but she couldn't.
" Forget it." Lone Bamboo Lie waved his hand." I know you want to see Yue 'er. Go. I don't want to see him like that. It'll make him sad. Go."”
"Thank you, Emperor!" Consort Yang Shu was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect the hot-tempered Gu Zhu Lie to be so understanding. She hurriedly thanked him and left.
The dilapidated courtyard that the Fifth Prince lived in was originally a side courtyard of the Cold Palace. It was prepared for those concubines who had angered the Sage. Now, it just so happened that it was given to the Fifth Prince who was full of illness.
Everyone knew that the Fifth Prince's disease was contagious, so no one wanted to get close to him. No matter how angry Gu Zhu Lie and Consort Yang Shu were, they couldn't do anything. Everyone cherished their lives, and this was understandable.
There were a total of three rooms in the courtyard, and the Fifth Prince lived in the middle. The doors and windows were covered with thick black curtains, and the doors were tightly shut. No matter how one looked at it, it made it difficult for one to breathe. No matter how one looked at it, it did not look like a place for people to live.
Consort Yang Shu only had Qing Ge by her side. She entered with a heavy heart and immediately forced herself to be alert again. She raised her voice and called out," Yue 'er, Consort Mother has come to see you. How do you feel today?”
Other than Consort Yang Shu who often came, the Emperor and Crown Prince who occasionally came, no one else would come. Thus, this place was always deathly silent. Suddenly, a voice sounded out, and it was simply too sudden and terrifying.
After a long while, a low voice came from the room," Your son is fine. Mother, go back quickly. Don't let your son harm you."”This voice was hoarse and tired, and it was intermittent. It really made people worry that he would not be able to catch his breath and die.
Needless to say, the person in the room was the Fifth Prince, Lone Bamboo. He had been suffering for more than a year. It was not easy for him to still be alive. How much strength did he have left?
" I'm fine, don't worry about me." Consort Yang Shu gritted her teeth and held back the tears in her eyes. Even though the child couldn't see her, she still kept smiling." Yue 'er, if, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry out. You'll, you'll feel better…"
As she finished speaking, her voice was choked with sobs. She could not hold back her tears anymore and they rolled down her pale cheeks. Yue 'er, Yue' er, what can I do to make you better? I'm willing to pay any price!
" Mm." Suddenly, a groan that had been suppressed to the extreme was heard. Lone Bamboo felt like someone had grabbed his throat, and he couldn't breathe.
"Yue 'er?" Consort Yang Shu's face turned ashen, and she lifted her foot to rush in. Yue 'er must be in pain. She had to help him, she had to!
Qing Ge was shocked and grabbed her without thinking." Consort Shu, you can't! If, if anything happens to the Empress, this servant will not be able to atone for it with ten thousand deaths!”The Emperor had told her that if anything happened to Consort Yang Shu, she would not be able to live.、
"Let me go!" Consort Yang Shu struggled and screamed hoarsely," Let me go, Qing Ge, let me go, let me-"
"Mother, I'm fine. Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't come in?”
Fortunately, Lone Bamboo spoke in time. His voice was calm, but there was a hint of anger in it. He knew that his illness was contagious, and he didn't want his mother to be implicated because of him. That was why he told his mother not to enter the house. Otherwise, he would rather commit suicide.
Lone Bamboo was so young, but he loved his mother so much. He was a kind person. No wonder the people in the palace praised him.
"Niangniang, the Fifth Prince is fine. Listen, listen!”Qing Ge was pleasantly surprised. She was originally pulling on Consort Yang Shu's sleeve, but when she felt that her struggle had weakened, she quickly let go and took a step back.
Consort Yang Shu panted for breath before slowly calming down." Yue 'er, are you really alright?”
After a while, Lone Bamboo said," I'm fine. I'm going to sleep. Mother, please go back."”
Consort Yang Shu's body swayed, the hairpin rings on her head jingled, her expression was sorrowful! Oh my god, did her Yue 'er commit any sins in his previous life to have to suffer such pain in this life?!
At this moment, a guard outside the door reported," Reporting to Consort Shu, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
Oh? Consort Yang Shu was slightly startled, but she immediately understood. She immediately raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her cheeks." Hold out your hand, quickly invite her in!”
The guard replied and turned around to leave. After a while, the Crown Prince led an old man carrying a medicine box into the room and bowed." Greetings, Consort Shu."”
Consort Yang Shu forced a smile and stretched out her hand to help him up." Your Highness the Crown Prince, please excuse the formalities. This must be the divine doctor that Your Highness the Crown Prince found for Yue 'er, right?"”
Speaking of which, ever since the Fifth Prince fell ill, the person who cared about him the most was none other than His Highness the Crown Prince. Not only would he come to visit him from time to time, but he would also spend a lot of money to invite famous doctors from all over the world to treat the Fifth Prince. No prince could compare to this kind of affection. It must be known that all the princes were afraid of being infected, so they all avoided him.
Unfortunately, the Fifth Prince's illness was strange. The doctors he had found were not bad, but they could not cure him.
