"Princess Consort Wu, please walk this way."
The elderly nanny appeared quite amiable, and Feng Bailing didn’t think much of it, simply following her inside.
The Crown Prince Mansion was even larger than Prince Shun’s Mansion, with winding corridors and deep courtyards. After walking for over a quarter of an hour, Feng Bailing arrived at an elegantly arranged courtyard.
There was no servant in sight in the courtyard.
She suddenly raised her hand and grasped the old nanny’s shoulder.
The nanny’s expression changed, stuttering,
"Princess Consort Wu, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Li and Xiaojin are not here; I smell a strong scent of medicine. Dongfang Jin isn’t ill and doesn’t need medication."
She turned around and was about to leave.
"Princess Consort Wu."
Several people rushed out from the house.
Dugu Xiaojin and Feng Xiaoli also came running out.
"Dongfang Jin, what is the meaning of this?"
Feng Bailing’s eyes turned cold.
Just when she was beginning to think better of Dongfang Jin, this child deliberately lured Xiaojin and Xiao Li here, arranging for her to pick them up, showing such deep cunning at such a young age, even scheming against her children.
"Princess Consort Wu, please don’t misunderstand. Nanny Su didn’t have any malicious intent; she’s an old servant from my father’s side, and has been taking care of my father over the years. I beg you, please save my father."
Dugu Jin quickly caught up and was about to kneel before Feng Bailing.
Ever since Dugu Jin received the Spiritual Spring from Feng Bailing, he insisted on administering it to the Crown Prince every day.
Initially, the situation had improved and the Crown Prince’s complexion had been getting better day by day.
However, he never woke up. Dongfang Jin even increased the dosage of the Spiritual Spring, but it didn’t help at all.
At this moment, Dongfang Jin heard that Eldest Prince Dongfang Cheng was going to be made the Crown Prince, and he became even more anxious.
Dongfang Jin originally wanted the Queen Mother to consult the Imperial Physician for his father, but Nalan Yan’er always found various excuses to brush it off.
Helpless, he could only find a way to bring Dugu Xiaojin, especially Feng Xiaoli.
He could detain the two to make Feng Bailing come and fetch them, taking the opportunity to let her see his father.
"My Queen Mother and Doctor Hong Xuan went to the Imperial Palace, there’s no one at home. Please, come see my father."
Dongfang Jin pleaded sorrowfully.
He knew very well, Nalan Yan’er had old grievances with Feng Bailing; if Nalan Yan’er were around, she would never allow Feng Bailing to treat the Crown Prince.
"Queen Mother, please help Dongfang Jin," Feng Xiaoli thought and considered. Considering how Dongfang Jin always brought her favorite pastries to eat, she felt she should help him this time.
Remembering what Dragon Queen had said and since the opportunity had presented itself, Feng Bailing decided she might as well check on the Crown Prince.
Feng Bailing walked into the room.
Though this room belonged to the Crown Prince, its furnishing was relatively simple.
It differed starkly from the opulence of the rest of the Crown Prince Mansion; on the bed, a man with a withered face was lying, bearing a slight resemblance to Emperor Yongye, and was one of Feng Bailing’s cousins, Crown Prince Dongfang Yu himself.
Seeing the Crown Prince’s condition, Feng Bailing roughly understood.
The Spiritual Spring without the enhancement of the Water Holy Seal indeed was not as effective as the one she usually used.
However, it still had some effect on comatose patients.
But the Spiritual Spring alone couldn’t completely restore a vegetative patient to normal.
To fully recover the Crown Prince, it was necessary to thoroughly investigate the real cause of his coma, which meant he required a brain examination.
