Emperor Jiaqing ignored Xiao Shunzi who was still kneeling on the ground, turned to Eunuch Wei and ordered: "Show the Changchun Palace."

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to attend the morning court?" Wei Eunuch reminded him in a low voice after hearing this.

Eunuch Wei naturally did not forget that he was here to pick up Emperor Jiaqing to go to court. There was not much time left before going to court. If he diverted to Changchun Palace now, he would not be able to go to court in the morning.

Emperor Jiaqing was also concerned and confused. When he heard Eunuch Wei's reminder, he also remembered that he had to go to the morning court.

"Go and inform the ministers that today's morning court session will be waived." Emperor Jiaqing pondered for a moment and then said.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Dr. He has returned to the Imperial Hospital this morning. I think the Second Prince is fine now. Otherwise, you might as well wait until the morning meeting." Eunuch Wei advised.

Eunuch Wei had been serving Emperor Jiaqing before he ascended the throne. This was the first time he heard that Emperor Jiaqing wanted to skip the morning court, but now the ministers were probably already waiting in front of the Jinluan Palace.

"How can I rest assured if I don't see with my own eyes whether Chen'er is well now?" Emperor Jiaqing stretched out his hand to stop Eunuch Wei from speaking.

After hearing this, Eunuch Wei knew that he really did not intend to go to the morning court, so he took the order and left.

The imperial chariot that was originally going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony now changed its direction and headed towards the Changchun Palace.

When Emperor Jiaqing came to Changchun Palace, he found that Changchun Palace was a little quiet. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to the place where Chen'er lived.

"See you, Your Majesty!" The maids and eunuchs who saw him along the way all knelt down and saluted him.

However, Emperor Jiaqing turned a blind eye to them and didn't even bother to give them a look. He just wanted to see his children as soon as possible.

"Mommy, how is Chen'er's condition?" Emperor Jiaqing entered the house and saw Aunt Gong sitting by the bed, and asked her hurriedly.

"Why is Your Majesty here now?" Seeing him, Grandma Gong quickly stood up and saluted him, and then asked.

It was morning time now, and Grandma Gong didn't expect him to come at this time.

Although he knew that Aunt Gong was asking why he appeared here at the time of the previous court, Emperor Jiaqing always felt that there seemed to be another layer of meaning in Aunt Gong's words, as if she was blaming himself for why he came here at this time.

"I didn't go to court today." Emperor Jiaqing touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and then explained.

He said and looked at Chen'er on the bed. The little guy was still sleeping at this time, and he could hear his steady breathing.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched Chen'er's forehead. The temperature was not high and was quite normal.

"Your Highness had a high fever last night and cried for a long time in discomfort. During this period, he even fainted from crying. It was Imperial Doctor Xiao He who gave His Highness acupuncture to wake him up from his coma." Aunt Gong looked at his movements and said, He explained in a low voice: "But now His Highness's fever has subsided. Doctor Xiao He checked His Majesty's pulse before leaving and said that His Highness is fine. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be fully recovered in two days."

Although Aunt Gong spoke in a calm tone, Emperor Jiaqing could tell from her words how dangerous the situation was.

Looking at Chen'er lying on the bed, Emperor Jiaqing blamed himself.

Chen'er was so dangerous at that time, but he didn't stay with him. It was him who felt sorry for his child.

"Wow--" At this moment, Chen'er woke up on the bed, waving his little hands and feet randomly and crying.

Due to crying all night last night, the little guy's voice was hoarse from crying. Now his cry was hoarse and very quiet.

"Chen'er!" Just when Aunt Gong was about to pick up Chen'er and coax him, Emperor Jiaqing took the lead and picked up the child.

"Be good, don't cry. Father is here." Emperor Jiaqing hugged Chen'er, gently patted his little buttocks, and coaxed in a soft voice.

However, the little guy seemed to hold a grudge against his father for not being with him last night when he was so uncomfortable. No matter how much Emperor Jiaqing tried to coax him, he didn't give him face and kept crying in his arms.

Seeing the little man crying so hard that he was out of breath, Emperor Jiaqing's old father's heart ached with pain.

Grandma Gong on the side felt very distressed when she saw it, and wanted to take the child from Emperor Jiaqing's arms.

"Your Majesty, why don't you give the second prince to a servant? Maybe he is hungry." Nanny Jiang boldly came over and said to Emperor Jiaqing.

Last night it was Nanny Dong who took care of Chen'er, now it was Nanny Jiang's turn.

After hearing what Jiang Nanny said, Emperor Jiaqing nodded and handed Chen'er to her.

Since Emperor Jiaqing was there, Nanny Jiang could not breastfeed in front of him, so she carried Chen'er to the inner room, which was blocked by a screen.

Xu Shichen'er was really hungry and stopped crying as soon as she drank the sweet milk.

Emperor Jiaqing and Aunt Gong were relieved when they heard that Chen'er's crying had stopped.

"Mommy, where is Concubine Hui?" Emperor Jiaqing finally remembered Jiang Wan at this moment.

"Your Majesty stayed up all night with the little prince last night. After knowing that the little prince was fine, she just went back to rest." Mother Gong said.

After hearing what Aunt Gong said, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Wan.

No wonder he didn't see Jiang Wan here. It turned out to be because she was too tired, so she went back to rest.

"Mommy, what is going on? Why did Chen'er suddenly fall ill?" Emperor Jiaqing asked.

After hearing Emperor Jiaqing's inquiry, Mother Gong naturally did not hide anything and told him everything that happened.

Although Grandma Gong was not present during Jiang Wan's interrogation, Grandma Gong learned what happened from others.

After hearing what Grandma Gong said, Emperor Jiaqing's face was as cold as ice.

"Where is Nanny He being held now?"

Naturally, Aunt Gong knew his intention of asking Nai Niang He, so she called Xiang Ning and asked her to take Emperor Jiaqing to the place where Nai Niang He was imprisoned.

Xiang Ning led Emperor Jiaqing to the place where Nanny He was imprisoned.

Two women standing guard at the door saw Emperor Jiaqing approaching, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and hurriedly saluted him in fear.

"Old slave, see your Majesty!"

"The person locked up here is the wet nurse named He?" Emperor Jiaqing asked.

"Your Majesty, the person locked inside is none other than Nanny He," an old nanny replied.

"The emperor wants to interrogate Nurse He, please open the door quickly!" Xiang Ning reminded them.

After hearing Xiang Ning's words, the two women hurriedly opened the door and let Emperor Jiaqing in.

It was said that the room was a detention room, but it was actually just a utility room. As a person who had committed a crime, Nanny He naturally could not receive any good treatment.

At this time, Nanny He was huddled in a corner, with messy hair, like a crazy woman. When she saw the door being opened, she looked up and saw who was coming. She found out that the visitor was Empress Jiaqing, and crawled towards him. , shouted: "Your Majesty, slave, slave, I know I was wrong. Please, please spare my life!"

As she came out of the corner, everyone saw that the clothes on Nurse He's back were stained with blood, but the blood on it had dried up by now.

The injuries on her body were caused by Jiang Wan's people beating her last night. Because of what she did, without Jiang Wan's instructions, naturally no one dared to heal her injuries, as long as the people around her were not dead.

Just when Nanny He's hand was about to touch the hem of Emperor Jiaqing's clothes, Xiao Shunzi kicked her away and scolded her: "How presumptuous! How can your dirty hands touch the emperor's dragon body?" !”

"Ah! I, I don't dare..." Nanny He covered the place where Xiao Shunzi kicked her, but she didn't care to cry out in pain and hurriedly begged Emperor Jiaqing for mercy.

Although Nurse He looked a little pitiful at this moment, no one present sympathized with her. When they thought that she had caused the Second Prince to become seriously ill and put his life in danger, they wanted to beat her to death.

She should be glad that the second prince was okay, otherwise she would not be able to kneel here.

"Tell me honestly, why did you want to harm the second prince?" Emperor Jiaqing glanced coldly at Nurse He on the ground and asked.

"Slave, I didn't want to harm the second prince." Nurse He shook her head repeatedly, saying that she didn't mean to harm the second prince, and she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

However, how could Emperor Jiaqing believe her words? Seeing that she insisted that she did not do it on purpose and was not instigated by anyone, Emperor Jiaqing lost his patience and ordered Xiao Shunzi: "Send her to the Criminal Punishment Department!"

He didn't believe that if he went to the Shenxing Department, Nurse He could not tell the truth.

"I obey the order." Xiao Shunzi heard this and waved to the two young eunuchs behind him.

Seeing this, the two young eunuchs stepped forward, pulled up Nanny He, and pushed her out.

The Shenxing Division is the place where the maids and eunuchs who have made mistakes are dealt with in the palace. Anyone who enters will have to shed their skin even if they do not die. The little eunuchs and maids in the palace heard that the three officials of the Shenxing Division I can't help but feel scared even when I read the word.

Nanny He had stayed in the palace for almost three months, and naturally she had heard of the name of the Shenxing Division. She couldn't help but become frightened and struggled not to leave.

"I don't want to go to the Punishment Department!"

However, the two little eunuchs holding her naturally didn't listen to her and even thought she was too noisy and covered her mouth.

This time, my ears were much clearer.
