Ming Dynasty: What's wrong with being a leisurely crown prince?

Chapter 59: The Heart-Touching Medication - Xu Miaoyun's Sudden Fainting

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was filled with sorrow, and felt an overwhelming sense of pity.

This day, this step, has finally arrived.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'm here for you."

Zhu Di tried his best to comfort her, not wanting Xu Miaoyun to feel any burden.

At this point, regardless of the final outcome, we can only move forward.

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun finally smiled.

"The boss has brought the medicine. My illness can finally be cured."

Xu Miaoyun knew all this and how heavy the burden was in Zhu Di's heart, so she began to comfort him.

In fact, everyone knows whether Zhu Gaochi's method was effective or not.

Now, Xu Miaoyun can only pin her hopes on that one in a million.

It's not just her fascination with time, but also because the current situation is just too bad.

She couldn't imagine how chaotic the situation would become if Zhu Gaochi's methods proved ineffective or even backfired.

Only Zhu Gaochi's medicine will work; all possible turmoil will eventually disappear.

Zhu Di nodded, saying nothing and offering no rebuttal.

At this moment, he could only place his hopes on Zhu Gaochi, believing that with Zhu Gaochi's composure, he would not do anything irrational. That was the only thing he could believe.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who were kneeling, also began to focus their attention on this.

Even those who left outside kept their eyes on the movements inside the palace.

When everyone learned that Zhu Gaochi had started taking medicine to Xu Miaoyun, their thoughts were stirred.

No one was in the mood to deal with their tasks, and each person had already prepared various mental contingency plans.

Upon learning the news, Zhu Zhanji of the Imperial Medical Academy looked at Jiang Yongwen.

"Your Excellency, are you sure you've figured everything out?"

"Your Highness, we understand now. Let's go there now."

Zhu Zhanji and Jiang Yongwen looked solemn, both of them filled with extreme shock.

Jiang Yongwen, in particular, genuinely didn't want to know or get involved in certain matters.

He was already helpless when he got involved in Zhu Gaochi's affair, and now he was also involved in Zhu Gaosui's affair. Jiang Yongwen felt like he wanted to die.

The more you know about things inside the royal family, the faster you'll die.

Jiang Yongwen was also very clear about this principle.

But there was nothing he could do about it, which was a kind of helplessness.

Zhu Zhanji ignored all of this; all his thoughts were now focused on Zhu Gaochi's bowl of medicine.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about Zhu Gaosui's fate at all. What he cared about was the Eastern Palace, the fate of his family, and his own fate.

The two men, along with the Imperial Guards, packed up and headed towards where Zhu Di was.

Inside the Kunning Palace, Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji who had rushed over without saying anything, as well as Jiang Yongwen, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and Dai Sigong, the deputy head, and the two chief physicians were all present.

Outside, countless eyes are watching this place.

In the Ming Dynasty court, everyone's attention was completely drawn to this place.

Everyone was watching their own fate and choices, and how the situation in the Ming Dynasty would evolve.

The lower-ranking officials and the rest of the people in the capital were not affected in the slightest and continued their usual way of life.

Outside Kunning Palace, a carriage came to a steady stop.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Zhu Gaochi poked his head out. Two eunuchs standing outside tried to help him up, but Zhu Gaochi refused and walked down directly.

Looking at the palace and then at the medicine in his hand, Zhu Gaochi's face showed a faint smile.

He knew and could sense the current situation, but he felt no sense of oppression.

"The exercise and diet I've been paying attention to during this period have had some effect; I'm much better than before."

In the past, he needed help getting on and off the carriage, but now he can do it skillfully on his own. This is all thanks to his perseverance over this period of time.

Not only in terms of exercise and diet, but also in terms of desires, there was no indulgence.

Compared to when I first arrived, my physical condition has improved considerably.

The only thing that made Zhu Gaochi somewhat helpless was that his somewhat plump body showed almost no signs of having lost weight.

Zhu Gaochi strode inside, and upon arriving at the room, he saw that everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived. He smiled and placed the medicine on the table.

"Mother, the medicine is ready. Let me serve it to you."

Zhu Gaochi didn't pay attention to anyone else. He knew very well that what everyone cared about was the medicine in his hand, not him.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile on her face.

"Boss, thank you so much. I'll definitely drink it all, not a drop left."

Xu Miaoyun was still in the mood to chat jokingly with Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Di couldn't laugh at all.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was preparing to serve the medicine, he immediately stopped him.

"Boss, tell me honestly, does this medicine really work?"

Seeing the solemn look on Zhu Di's face, Zhu Gaochi put away his smile and slowly spoke.

"Father, don't you trust your son?"

Zhu Gaochi did not offer an explanation, for any explanation at this point would be futile and unlikely to convince anyone.

Zhu Di was taken aback upon hearing this and wanted to say something, but Xu Miaoyun pulled him away a little.

"Can't you two just shut up? And you, as a father, if you don't even trust yourself, who can you trust?"

"Eldest son, don't listen to your father, your mother believes in you, hurry up and serve it."

Xu Miaoyun gestured to Zhu Di, which immediately deflated Zhu Di's spirits.

Zhu Gaochi felt deeply moved by Xu Miaoyun's trust.

There are probably only two women in the world who could believe in him like that.

One was his mother, Xu Miaoyun, standing before him.

One of them was his legal wife, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, Zhang Yan.

Zhu Gaochi filled the medicine container and handed it to Xu Miaoyun.

"Mom, the temperature is just right. Drink it while it's hot, and you'll feel better afterward."

Xu Miaoyun took the medicine, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and smiled even more broadly.

"it is good."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun preparing to drink her medicine, Zhu Di couldn't help but reach out his hand, but ultimately withdrew it.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui craned their necks, their eyes fixed on Xu Miaoyun, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Zhu Zhanji's heart was pounding so hard he couldn't calm down. His lips were cracked and his body was trembling slightly.

When Xu Miaoyun started drinking the medicine, everyone except Zhu Gaochi looked at her with tense expressions and worried faces.

Jiang Yongwen and others were already prepared to treat Xu Miaoyun at any time.

Xu Miaoyun closed her eyes and drank the entire bowl of medicine without pausing or hesitating.

After drinking, Xu Miaoyun opened her eyes, and Zhu Di couldn't wait to take her hand.

"How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Jiang Yongwen! Dai Sigong! What are you waiting for? Quickly treat the Empress!"

Zhu Di's two sentences and the expression on his face revealed his complete distrust of Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi was self-aware and didn't care at all.

At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on Xu Miaoyun.

To ensure the effectiveness of this treatment and to stabilize the situation, he added more, essentially putting in the amount of half a candy bean.

Zhu Gaochi just wanted to know how effective this candy was.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di and shook her head.

"It's only been drunk, how can it take effect so quickly?"

After speaking, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaochi with encouraging eyes.

"Eldest son, that's just your dad's personality. Don't overthink it. Mom believes in you, he'll definitely..."

As Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes grew heavier.

This scene immediately brought tears to everyone's eyes.

"mother!"

"Miaoyun! Miaoyun!"

"What are you all standing there for! Quickly treat the Empress!"
