The Crown Prince had a very unpleasant quarrel with Prince Wu for the Crown Princess Consort back in the days.
Dongfang Jin whispered.
"She might not dare, but Prince Wu does. There are rumors outside, suggesting that the Crown Prince’s current condition is all because Prince Wu had him pushed off his horse."
Nanny Su said with tears welling up in her eyes.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Dugu Xiaojin’s handsome face turned gloomy.
Nanny Su was so frightened that she couldn’t utter another word.
The young Dugu Xiaojin in front of her, though not of significant age, possessed an overwhelming authority that even an old nanny like her dared not speak recklessly.
Originally, Nanny Su wanted to say that there were even rumors outside suggesting that the two children of the Crown Princess Consort were not actually sired by the Crown Prince...
By the time the moon climbed atop the willow tips, the door finally opened.
Feng Bailing sauntered out.
Dongfang Jin hurried into the room.
"Nanny Su, don’t speak ill of others outside next time. If Dugu Wu wants to kill someone, he wouldn’t resort to despicable acts like pushing someone off a horse; he would kill them directly, even if the person is the Crown Prince."
Feng Bailing heard the conversation from outside.
Nanny Su was tongue-tied; she couldn’t believe that Feng Bailing dared to speak such treasonous words.
"My father still hasn’t woken up. Even you can’t save him."
Dongfang Jin, with an ashen face, walked out.
In Feng Bailing’s hands was a piece of the Crown Prince’s medical imaging. He had a brain hematoma pressing on his nerves, which is why he was unable to wake up.
To awaken him, the hematoma must be cleared.
The best method to remove an intracranial hematoma is a craniotomy, but this surgery carried a certain risk.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Feng Bailing would not opt for such a measure.
The conservative treatment method was to take medicine.
"Nanny Su, here are a few medicines. You must administer them to the Crown Prince every day.
It’s powder ground from glycolipid tablets, which can slowly dissolve the hematoma. Although the process is very slow, it is indeed the only medication Feng Bailing has on hand that can clear the brain hematoma.
"Moreover, here is some water. From now on, do not give your father any herbal soups to drink; one drop of this a day will suffice."
What Feng Bailing gave Dongfang Jin was the Spiritual Spring, further enhanced with the Water Holy Seal. Its spiritual power was stronger and could fortify the body.
Although it was somewhat of an advantage for the Crown Prince, considering he had been a vegetable for many years, and his condition might be related to Dugu Wu, Feng Bailing had to accept it.
Dongfang Jin hesitated for a moment before accepting the medicine.
"Do not tell your Queen Mother about my visit. I don’t want extra people to be aware of it either."
After saying this, Feng Bailing left with Feng Xiaoli and Dugu Xiaojin.
Dongfang Jin asked Nanny Su to look after his father first. He stood there, contemplatively looking at the medicine powder in his hand.
"Brother, was that Princess Consort Wu just now? How can you let her come into father’s courtyard, the Queen Mother detests her the most."
Dongfang Xiu came over.
"Xiao Xiu, don’t tell the Queen Mother about this."
Dongfang Jin clenched the bottle in his hand and cautioned.
After Feng Bailing returned to Prince Shun’s Mansion with his children, Chun Liu served dinner for them.
By the time Feng Bailing had settled both children, it was already the dead of night.
Dugu Wu had not yet returned, which was a bit abnormal. Usually, even if the Ministry of Revenue kept him busy, Dugu Wu would have been back by late night. Tonight, there was still no lamp lit in his study.
Just as Feng Bailing was about to enjoy her beauty sleep, she heard some noise outside.
Feng Zao’s voice carried a tone of urgency.
"Princess Consort, please make a trip to the Imperial Palace. Miss Hong Xuan has had an accident."
