Lin Ruoyou quickly comforted: "No, there are only five days left. I can catch up when you get completely better!"

The old lady was not so anxious now. She looked at the little girl in front of her with wide eyes. She really felt that she was so delicate and cute.

At first, when Fang Wu and the eldest princess came to the door with gifts, she really didn't want to agree.

After all, she had heard that this little girl was not an economical person. She was so arrogant and domineering that she stopped her father from marrying a concubine, and even used force in the street!

It's simply vulgar!

Even if she later heard that she was doing it for her mother, she still couldn't feel the slightest favor.

I always think she is a little too cunning!

So when the two of them made a request, she subconsciously refused.

But the eldest princess kept persuading her, teasing her, and praising the little girl, so she could only reluctantly agree.

Unexpectedly, since she agreed, she has been sick.

Even though she had been unconscious before, she could still hear the little girl ordering the nuns to help her detoxify her in an orderly manner.

Now that I'm satisfied with it, I feel even more satisfied.

I just wish she could be my granddaughter!

Her heart sank when she thought that the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had not come out to each other until now.

The voices in the room alerted the Crown Prince's wife outside. She opened the door and walked in with an anxious look on her face. When she saw the old lady leaning on the brocade pillow, tears burst out of her eyes.

She knelt down and cried: "Mom, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. Why don't you beat me and scold me? You can even divorce me. I will never complain at all!"

The old lady quickly reached out and grabbed her daughter-in-law. She frowned and said, "What do you do if I divorce you? What does this matter have to do with you?"

Seeing that she still didn't understand the whole story, Mrs. Shizi choked up and told her story.

The old lady sighed helplessly: "This has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself. I really didn't expect that the emperor could do such a thing. He can even scheme against a little girl. It's so confusing!"

Lin Ruoyou didn't dare to say a word. After all, in this world, only the old lady could curse the emperor, right?

While she was thinking wildly, the old man's hoarse voice came from outside: "Madam? Are you really awake?"

The old lady couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I'm really awake. Old man, it's been really difficult for you for so many days!"

Seeing his wife's bright eyes, the old man almost burst into tears.

But he had seen big scenes, so he just raised his head and regained his composure in an instant.

He said dotingly: "You are really right. Just because of your illness, I can't eat well and can't sleep. I'm worried!"

The old lady pointed at Lin Ruoyou: "Our Ji family has to be grateful to the little girl. Her superb medical skills have brought my old life back from hell!"

The old Duke couldn't help but frown: "Humph, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been targeted by that person in the palace. After all, you were still implicated by her. Even if she cured you, you wouldn't be able to do it." The merits outweigh the faults, and it’s not worthy of praise!”

The old lady immediately became unhappy. She stretched out her hand and pinched the old man: "What are you talking about? If they didn't come to rescue me, what you see now is not a living lady, but a cold corpse!" "

The old man was really hurt. He owed his body and turned to look at Lin Ruoyou: "Thank you very much, Miss Lin, for saving me. But that kid Xiao Sheng is also really good to you. In order to give you With such a bad breath, he actually forced the emperor to abdicate in favor of Prince An because of his illness!"

Lin Ruoyou was shocked. He forced the emperor to abdicate?

She didn't hesitate anymore and said quickly: "Old madam, I'll take my leave now. Your body is still very weak. I will order someone to send you a prescription to replenish your body later!"

The old lady quickly stretched out her hand to hold her and said: "Don't panic, girl, no one can change what the Prince Regent has decided. Since he has decided to let Prince An succeed to the throne, he has already made a plan!"

A flash of struggle flashed in Lin Ruoyou's eyes. Although she hated the emperor for repeatedly harming her, she did not want Xiao Sheng to be stigmatized as a traitor.

If he is criticized, I am afraid that he will not be able to gain a foothold in this court.

The old Duke saw her worries and said quietly: "The reason why he made this decision this time is because of my support. If he takes action on my wife, he is no longer the wise king. He is indeed not worthy of sitting on the throne." That position has been reached. Our Ji family and the eldest princess are all elders in the court. When the late emperor passed away, we received his instructions. Whenever the emperor makes a wrong decision, the elders have the right to make him abdicate in favor of someone more worthy!"

Lin Ruoyou felt relieved now, as long as it was not decided by him alone.

The old Duke frowned and said, "Can you write the prescription now?"

"Yes!" Lin Ruoyou nodded quickly.

After writing the prescription and giving many instructions, she walked outside.

She saw the Crown Prince's wife following her, but hesitated to speak.

Lin Ruoyou looked at her in surprise: "Madam, what exactly do you want to say? You don't have to be so open-minded in front of me!"

Mrs. Shizi quickly stepped forward, held her hand and begged: "Miss Lin, since your medical skills are so good, can you try diagnosing my pulse? I have been married to my husband for eight years, and I have not conceived a child yet. To be honest, , I have ordered people to consult many famous doctors, and they all said that our health is not serious!"

Lin Ruoyou frowned, looking at the face of the Crown Prince's wife, she didn't seem like someone with a bad relationship with his heirs.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw the eldest princess hurried over and asked worriedly: "Xinning, what's the matter?"

She quickly replied: "Aunt Pan, Madam Prince wants me to check her pulse!"

The eldest princess also heard about her heir's difficult situation. She was not unreasonable, so she also said: "If it is convenient for you, just show it to her. There is news from the regent. He is waiting for his Majesty." The Heavenly Monitor calculates the auspicious day when King An can ascend the throne, and asks me to accompany you to stay at the Duke's Mansion for a while, waiting for him to pick you up in person!"

Lin Ruoyou knew very well that the reason why Xiao Sheng allowed herself to stay in the Duke's Mansion was because she was worried that those in the palace would find her.

I'm afraid that all the concubines except Concubine Jade will be angry and puzzled by the emperor's sudden abdication in favor of someone worthy of his throne.

After all, the emperor has not appointed a prince yet. All princes in the royal family are eligible to ascend to that throne, not necessarily just Prince An.

She nodded: "Okay, let me check Mrs. Shizi's pulse first!"

This diagnosis really gave her a clue.

Her pulse seemed steady and strong, but it was extremely sluggish, as if she lacked stamina.

She frowned and said, "Madam, have you been taking any medicine to replenish your body recently?"

Mrs. Shizi's eyes lit up; "Miss Lin, you are really amazing. A doctor said before that I was weak and could not bear my husband's love, so he prescribed me a lot of supplementary medicines. I have been taking them for almost half a month now!"
