Chapter 889: 889 Rip-off
Ye Jiu looked at him puzzled, “Didn’t you check on it yourself?”
Prince’s face was somewhat unnatural, “I have been a bit busy these days.”
He would never admit that he was sulking with the Princess Consort.
Unfortunately, after waiting for several days, he could only learn about the situation from the Imperial Physician daily.
The Prince also knew that the Princess Consort’s courtyard lacked manpower, but he hadn’t intervened as he wanted her to take the initiative to ask him for help. After several days had passed, she was still standing her ground.
Eventually, the Prince couldn’t hold back any longer.
Originally, he was just looking for an excuse to go over, but unexpectedly ran into Ye Jiu right here.
At this moment, the Prince seemed like a big child, though his age made it look somewhat awkward.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Jiu’s mind.
“I went over in the morning; her condition isn’t very good. Her face is deathly pale. Judging from the situation, she won’t last more than a few days,” Ye Jiu said.
“What?” The Prince was shocked, “Didn’t the Imperial Physician say…”
Right, the Prince suddenly realized, the Imperial Physician had said that although the Princess Consort wasn’t in life-threatening danger, her health had been damaged over these years, and it would indeed require significant effort to recover fully.
Yet, these Imperial Physicians always withheld information to some extent, could it be that the Princess Consort…
The Prince already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Without even calling out to Ye Jiu, the Prince rushed toward the Princess Consort’s courtyard.
Ye Jiu laughed behind him like a cat with a canary, and hurriedly followed him.
Although this was his father, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but make a remark about his awkwardness: a grown man who clearly likes someone but insists on acting distant, and wants the whole world to revolve around him.
Right now, the Prince’s mind was full of Ye Jiu’s words: she said the Princess Consort wouldn’t last more than a few days.
How could it be?
Although he knew she was sick, he never really gave it much thought, as they were not that old yet. In his mind, being sick meant seeing an Imperial Physician, getting some medicine, and getting some rest would suffice.
But why suddenly wouldn’t she last more than a few days?
“Cough cough cough cough…”
Coincidentally, when the Prince arrived, the Princess Consort was coughing, seemingly so intensely that she might cough her lungs out.
The Prince quickly stepped forward to gently pat her on the back, and only after the coughing subsided did he ask, “How are you? Are you okay?”
The Princess Consort nodded, indicating she was fine, then asked, “Why did the Prince come?”
“If I don’t come, are you planning to die of illness without calling for me?” The Prince asked.
The Princess Consort didn’t quite understand, “Why would the Prince say so?”
Although she was unwell, it hadn’t reached the point of death, right?
“Jiujiu told me. It’s my fault for being too busy these days to look after you, but rest assured, I will definitely have people cure your illness, I won’t let you die,” the Prince promised.
The Princess Consort was a bit confused, “Prince…”
“Don’t talk so much if you’re feeling unwell, just lie down and rest more. Later I’ll assign more people to help you. All you need to do is recover your health.”
Suddenly, the Prince’s overwhelming thoughtfulness made the Princess Consort, accustomed to his frequent temper outbursts, feel even more peculiar.
At the door, Ye Jiu covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
“Jiujiu…” The Princess Consort suddenly saw Ye Jiu’s figure and immediately wanted to get out of bed.
Then, the Prince gently pressed her back onto the bed, “You’re not well, just lie down. She’s already at the door, how could she get lost?”
