The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Chapter 319 Appetite

Although Shen Tang felt that he was fine and did not need to take medicine, he did not dare not take it.

Dean Zhao wrote the prescription in front of the emperor, empress and others. Afraid that she would not take it, he called them over and reminded them that she must take the medicine.

As soon as Chen Qiyi bought the medicine, Xie Guimo asked Ginkgo to boil it and personally fed it to Shen Tang before he felt at ease.

Within one day, first the Princess of Qi fainted outside the Jingyang Palace, and then the Princess of Jingyang's Crown Prince fainted outside the Imperial Study. Coupled with the grudge between the two, the matter became a hot topic.

Some people suspected that Shen Xian was pretending to faint, but no one suspected that Shen Tang was faking it. Pretending to faint in front of the emperor was something that only a god could muster.

Shen Tang entered the palace in the afternoon, and it was almost evening when she was brought back to Prince Jingyang's Mansion by Xie Guimo. No one came to visit her, but the next day people came to visit her one after another.

The first to arrive was Shen Ran, who lived nearby. Shen Tang had barely finished breakfast when Shen Ran arrived. Then came Princess Roujia, the Fourth Madam, and Shen Luo, as well as Yun Yi, Zhao Xi, Miss Wen, Madam Jiang, and the two Jiang sisters...

They all came to comfort Shen Tang.

Princess Roujia said, "The second master is a lucky man. My husband has gone to find him and will definitely bring him back. Take care of yourself and don't worry."

Jiang Li said, "When grandparents heard that you were sick, they were very worried. You must get better as soon as possible."

All Shen Tang could do was nod.

Could she say that she really didn't feel sick? Although she was very worried about her second brother, she believed that her second brother would be fine.

But she still had to take the medicine for a few days, so she couldn't bring herself to say that she was not sick.

Shen Tang asked the Fourth Madam, "Is Grandmother okay?"

The Fourth Madam said, "I don't know about the Second Master's broken leg, but I know about you fainting in the palace, and also about Princess Qi fainting outside the Jingyang Palace. I'm very worried about you, and I'm also a little angry with Princess Qi. After you left yesterday, I didn't vomit after taking the medicine, and my condition has improved."

When the old lady saw her beloved son, her mood improved and her illness also improved.

As for the second wife having her hair cut off, the old lady is not worried.

Shen Tang leaned on the big pillow, feeling uncomfortable all over. She wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but everyone told her to lie down and rest. When they came to see her, Shen Tang wanted them to talk to her more, but they were afraid of disturbing her rest, so they left after staying for a short while.

After a busy morning, it became quiet by lunchtime. Shen Tang got out of bed, and Xie Guimo just happened to be coming back from the study. He saw him and said, "Why are you getting out of bed? Go lie down on the bed."

Shen Tang, "..."

If she lay down any longer, she would feel like she was useless.

Shen Tang said, "I'll just walk around the house."

Xie Guimo asked Ginkgo, "Has the Crown Prince's Concubine taken her medicine?"

Ginkgo nodded repeatedly, "I've eaten."

He didn't ask her, but asked the maid, which clearly showed that he didn't trust her.

Shen Tang glared at Xie Guimo. The maid brought in the food. Shen Tang washed his hands and sat down to have lunch with Xie Guimo.

Not to mention that Shen Tang felt that he was not sick, Xie Guimo also looked at Shen Tang and he did not look like he was unwell. Who would have a better appetite than usual when they were sick? Shen Tang usually ate one bowl of rice, but today, for the first time, he finished a bowl of rice and even had half a bowl left. Xie Guimo was stunned and suspected that the medicine that Zhao Yuanzheng prescribed for Shen Tang was to stimulate his appetite.

Xie Guimo picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Shen Tang, "You should eat more."

After eating, I paced back and forth in the room to digest the food. When I felt sleepy, I went to bed and took a nap for half an hour.

After waking up, Shen Tang had nothing to do, so he read a book to pass the time.

For three consecutive days, Shen Tang did not leave the room. On the fourth day, she could no longer hold it in. After breakfast, she strolled around the yard twice. She even wanted to take a walk in the garden, but the two maids would not let her go, so she had to give up.

There was no other way, Shen Tang had to go back to the house to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for her second brother. She couldn't leave Beijing to find her second brother, so she could only copy Buddhist scriptures to make herself feel at ease. Even the two maids felt that it was too tiring and didn't let her do it.

Shen Tang asked, "Do you want to suffocate me to death?"

She wasn't allowed to do this or that. She didn't die of illness, but she died of boredom.

Ginkgo and Qiutong said, "Then the Crown Prince's Consort will promise not to tire herself out."

Shen Tang was tired.

As if she were a fool.

Her body is her own, how can she not cherish it?

Seven days passed like this, and I finished the medicine, and there was no difference from before I took it.

After breakfast, Shen Tang drank the medicine. Ginkgo said, "Princess, this is the last dose of medicine."

Xie Guimo asked Shen Tang, "After taking the medicine for so many days, are you feeling any better?"

Shen Tang looked at him, "It's the same as before I ate it."

Xie Guimo, "..."

If it weren't for the prescription written by Zhao Yuanzheng, I would really suspect that I had met a quack.

Qiu Tong, standing by, couldn't help but say, "It's quite effective. The Crown Princess has a better appetite and sleeps better."

After taking the medicine for seven days, the Crown Princess gained weight visibly.

Shen Tang has a frail figure, like a willow swaying in the wind. If he gains two or three pounds of weight, it will be very obvious.

But Shen Tang didn't think this was a good thing, so after breakfast, she took Ginkgo to the Peony Courtyard to pay her respects to the princess.

Seeing Shen Tang coming, the princess was a little surprised, "The imperial physician told you to rest, why are you here with mother?"

Shen Tang said, "I have finished taking the medicine prescribed by Zhao Yuanzheng, and I am not feeling unwell anywhere. I haven't come to pay my respects to my mother for so many days, so I should come."

In the past few days, the princess either went to Chenxiangxuan to see her in person or asked Nanny Yun to go. The princess knew about Shen Tang's situation.

The princess said, "You look much better. I'm relieved that you're alright."

Shen Tang sat down, and a maid came in and said, "Princess, the carriage is ready."

Shen Tang looked at the princess, "Mother is leaving the house?"

The princess said, "Let's go to the Jokhang Temple and pray for you and the old lady."

Shen Tang immediately said, "I'll go with my mother."

The princess hesitated.

She knew that Shen Tang had been copying Buddhist scriptures these days and must want to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for his second brother whose life or death was unknown, but the princess was worried about Shen Tang's health.

Shen Tang sat down next to the princess and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm really fine. I've been stuck in the mansion for so many days, and I just want to go out for a walk."

The princess only had Xie Guimo as her son, and she had never experienced what it was like to be held in someone's arms and act like a spoiled child. She laughed and said, "Okay, your mother will take you there."

"Thank you, concubine."

Shen Tang and the princess went to the Jokhang Temple, and Xie Guimo wanted to accompany them. But when they were leaving the house, someone happened to come from the palace. The emperor wanted to see Xie Guimo, so Shen Tang said, "Then you go into the palace to see the emperor."

Xie Guimo said, "After meeting the emperor, I will go to the Jokhang Temple to pick you up."

Shen Tang nodded.

Shen Tang and the princess rode out of the city in a carriage.

Shen Tang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. When he was leaving the city, he happened to see Young Master Huo riding past on horseback, with the horse's hooves galloping very fast.

Shen Tang took another look. Chen Shan went to chase after Master Huo and came back saying, "Princess, Madam Huo is returning to the capital today. Master Huo is going to Shili Pavilion to pick her up."

The princess was delighted. "I thought it would take at least three to five days for him to come back..."

How could Mrs. Huo not be extremely anxious when she saw the letter?

I'm afraid we had a lot of bumpy rides on the way back to Beijing.

Judging from the date, Mrs. Huo should be pregnant. I hope the baby doesn't get hurt by the bumpy ride.
