Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Liao Xiaoping sighed deeply, his beautiful dark eyes filled with unresolved pain.

However, he quickly changed the topic to other places and asked about the status of his family and the current situation of his younger siblings.

Jiang Lianzhu could also tell that he was deliberately changing the topic, so she cooperated with him and talked about the recent situation of Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole.

The two chatted for a while, and Liao Xiaoping suggested hesitantly: "Mom, can you and your child go see the prince?"

In Liao Xiaoping's impression, it seemed that no one's medical skills could match his mother's. He thought about it again and again, what if his mother showed it to the prince and found a way to cure him?

When Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she did not show any surprise, but just smiled helplessly: "It's okay for me to go and show it to the prince, but I think you should not have too much hope."

She made it clear that she didn't want him to expect too much.After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. If the prince's body is weak due to acquired diseases, there are medicines that can be cured, but if it is a congenital disease, there is basically no other way except to use precious medicinal materials to hang it up.

As the prince was born with a frail disease, Jiang Lianzhu knew that she had no confidence. She went there this time to reassure Liao Xiaoping and help the prince take a look at his health to see if he could give him some prescriptions to make him better. .

Liao Xiaoping naturally knew what she meant, nodded and said: "I know, mother, I just want to see if there are any other possibilities, otherwise I won't be able to feel at ease."

"Then let's go and take a look now." Jiang Lianzhu smiled helplessly.

Liao Xiaoping immediately led the way and led Jiang Lianzhu to the prince's bedroom.

There are not many decorations in the prince's bedroom, and it is almost the same simple atmosphere as Liao Xiaoping's room.As soon as he stepped into the palace, an unusual heat hit his face. It was a little hotter than in Liao Xiaoping's room, which showed that the prince's body was taken care of very carefully.

The house was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs, and the sound of a man coughing could be heard from time to time. From the sound, it was clear that he was coughing very hard, as if he wanted to cough out his whole heart.

The two walked into the room. The prince was leaning on the couch and reading a book. There was also an imperial doctor in the room who was diagnosing his pulse. He frowned and had a not-so-good expression on his face, as if he was helpless about the prince's physical condition.

The movement of the two people coming in made the prince and the imperial doctor turn around to see that the imperial doctor was the old doctor from before.When she saw Jiang Lianzhu, her eyes lit up slightly and she greeted her enthusiastically: "Hey, Miss Jiang is here."

The prince smiled slightly at the two of them, his thin cheeks were elegant and handsome: "Madam, Xiao Ping, you are here."

He was still covered with a thick brocade quilt, and even though the palace was as warm as spring, it could not hide his pale and sick complexion.

"How do you feel now?" Liao Xiaoping approached the prince and stood beside him and asked softly.

The prince coughed a few more times, his eyebrows arched, and his eyes were filled with color: "It's still the same. Hey, why are you always worried about these things, aren't you fine now?"

The relationship between the two of them is not like that of a monarch or a minister, but rather like that of ordinary people's confidants.

The old doctor released his hand from taking the prince's pulse and smiled attentively at Jiang Lianzhu: "Miss Jiang has superb medical skills. Why don't you help the prince take his pulse and see if you can give me some advice?"

The old doctor knew that her medical skills were superior to his. Although he had already known what was going on with the prince's body, he didn't want to give up if there was still a chance. After all, the prince was only ten years old now, so he was still too young. .

"Okay." Jiang Lianzhu nodded and went straight to the prince.

The prince held the book in his left hand and laid it flat on his right hand, and said to Jiang Lianzhu: "Then I'll trouble you, madam."

Seeing this, Liao Xiaoping bent over to read the contents of his book and started discussing with him, trying to divert his attention.

Sure enough, when the two of them were talking about knowledge, the prince's eyes were bright and his theory was clear and logical. He only coughed for a long time and then continued talking endlessly.

Jiang Lianzhu listened beside her, also a little surprised.The prince's insights are very unique, which shows that he has a unique talent.

She checked the prince's pulse, felt it carefully, and then withdrew her hand.

"Miss Jiang, please take a step to speak." Seeing that she had finished diagnosing her pulse, the old doctor suggested.

The two of them did not leave the prince's bedroom, but passed through the curtain and came from the inner hall to the outer hall.The old doctor was careful and didn't want to discuss the prince's condition in front of him. It wouldn't be good for him to listen. Even when the prince asked him about his health, the old doctor always gave ambiguous answers and encouraged him. He has more confidence in his body.

Even so, Prince Yi was so smart that he had already noticed the condition of his body, but he didn't say it out loud.

The old doctor looked at Jiang Lianzhu and asked nervously: "Miss Jiang, how is the prince's health? In your opinion, is there any other way to cure the prince?"

Jiang Lianzhu pursed her lips: "The prince's physical condition is not optimistic, and I have no other way. Presumably the imperial physician is usually responsible for the prince's physical conditioning, and knows the prince's physical condition better than I do. Judging from the current situation, I can only prescribe medication for the prince. This is a prescription to relieve the pain. The prince is used to using the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician, so I can’t prescribe another prescription, lest there be conflict between the two parties, which may injure the prince’s health.”

Hearing what Jiang Lianzhu said, the old doctor was not surprised. He just sighed deeply: "The prince is really ill-fated and pitiful. I have watched the prince grow up. The prince is a good boy. If It’s not that he is ill, he will be an amazingly talented young man in the future. Miss Cai also heard that the prince has unique political opinions. If he is in good health, he will definitely be a wise king in the future."

Jiang Lianzhu also regretted: "That's true."

The old doctor was silent, watching Jiang Lianzhu write out the prescription. As a result, Fangzi said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Jiang. With Miss Jiang's prescription, the prince can feel better." He said, and then said, "I was the one before. I was impatient and unintentionally offended Mr. Liao, I hope Miss Jiang will not take the blame."

"This matter has long since passed, and Lianzhu also understands that the imperial doctor is worried about the safety of the prince and the imperial concubine." Jiang Lianzhu said with a smile.

Seeing how tolerant and generous she was, the old doctor couldn't help but feel a little better about her.

When he looked towards the inner hall, there was a smile in his eyes and he sighed: "Master Liao is very talented. I'm afraid his future will be limitless."

Jiang Lianzhu just smiled and watched the old doctor studying the prescription. She called Liao Xiaoping alone and told him the truth about the prince's condition.

Liao Xiaoping's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he understood in his heart, so he was only slightly disappointed.

Just as he was talking, the guards from the Crown Prince's palace came in: "Mrs. Jiang, Aunt Fenxiang from the Imperial Concubine's Palace invites you to come to the Imperial Concubine's Palace."
