Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

When the Crown Princess heard that Zhu Qing had fainted, she hurriedly called a palace maid to ask what happened.

The little maid trembled as she told Zhu Qing what she had said: "... Then Aunt Zhu Qing was so angry that she didn't say a word all the way. When she arrived at the gate of our palace, she let out a breath and suddenly fainted."

The Crown Princess's face suddenly became more annoyed. After thinking for a while, she said, "All the doors are closed at this time, and the doctor can't come in. Forget it, I'll go and take a look at Zhu Qing.

"If it's nothing serious, I'll call the imperial physician tomorrow. If it's not okay, I'll have to ask the prince to find a doctor for her."

As he spoke, he got off the kang, pointed at a cloak and put it on, then prepared to go out.

Kai Lan's eyes flashed with envy, and she stepped forward to stop him: "It's a cold winter night, I'm afraid Your Majesty will get angry again, so let me go and take a look."

The Crown Princess waved her hand: "I won't feel reassured unless I see it with my own eyes."

Kale had no choice but to go along.

Who would have thought that in just a short while, Zhu Qing's whole body was burning, his cheekbones were red and hot.

The Crown Princess was shocked: "How can this be possible?!"

He hurriedly sent someone to inform the prince and asked for the imperial physician.

They were in a panic for most of the hour, and even the prince came to see what was going on.

The doctor said, "This girl has been depressed for a long time, and her internal heat is raging. Now she has caught a cold. The two attacks have caused her to fall ill. She just needs to relax and rest for seven days."

I've been feeling depressed for a long time.

Internal fire, blazing.

The prince looked at the princess in confusion, but he only saw the princess' eyes full of anger.

Oh. There is a story.

"Just rest, it's not a big deal. Crown Princess, don't worry too much." The prince stood up and left. After thinking for a while, he reminded, "It's cold now, Crown Princess and Tao Ge'er should be careful not to catch a cold."

The Crown Princess understood the meaning of this sentence, sighed, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make arrangements."

After the prince left and the imperial physician was sent away, the others were sent out, leaving only Cai Lan and the little palace maid that Zhu Qing often kept by her side recently.

The Crown Princess picked a chair and sat down with all her might. She frowned and ordered the little maid, "Kneel down!"

With just this sound, the little palace maid's legs softened and she fell to her knees, prostrating herself on the ground, trembling: "Madam, spare my life!"

"If you want me to forgive you, then tell me the truth about your visit to Yi Qiu East Palace today! If you tell me a lie even for a single word and I find out, your life will be wasted!"

The Crown Princess said in a deep voice.

The little palace maid was so frightened that she was shaking all over and kept looking at Zhuqing who was lying on the bed.

But Zhu Qing was in a coma due to a high fever at the moment, so how could he give her any advice?

Seeing this, Gan Lan knew that something was wrong and urged: "What are you looking at Zhu Qing for? She is also the Majesty's servant! Do you dare to deceive the master? Hurry up and tell me!"

The little maid shrank her shoulders and finally gave up trying to resist. She cried and told the story one by one: "…When the princess said that, Aunt Zhuqing changed her expression and ran all the way back.

"When she arrived at the palace gate, she forced herself to teach me the words I had said to the queen before, and then she fainted.

"I really don't know why Auntie is like this..."

The Crown Princess looked at somewhere unknown in the void with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, calm down..." Gan Lan looked at her and felt that this was the time when he could not understand the Empress the most in the three years since he entered the palace.

The Crown Princess retracted her gaze and looked at her: "You spend every day with Zhu Qing, do you know what she is thinking?"

"Well, I only know that Sister Zhuqing doesn't sleep well. Moreover, since I entered the palace, I have felt that Sister Zhuqing's temper is much worse than when she was at home.

"I thought it was because she held a high position in Cheng'en Palace that she was... a little, arrogant..." The more Gan Lan spoke, the lower her voice became. Suddenly, her eyes turned red and she lowered her head to wipe her tears.

"But I never thought that she had such a big secret in her heart! She even led the concubines in the Eastern Palace to become the enemy of the Empress..."

The Crown Princess stood up and said, "Send a message back home and ask them to check if Zhu Qing has been close to anyone outside the palace since she entered the palace."

Kale knelt and agreed.

The Crown Princess's eyes no longer wandered towards the unconscious Zhu Qing on the kang and the little palace maid kneeling on the ground, but she walked out straight away. She didn't even mention these two people.

Gan Lan exhaled lightly, and hurriedly chased after him, leaving only a hasty sentence at the door: "Move Zhu Qing out of the palace to recuperate for the time being. The other one...send it back to the inner quarters."

The order was very vague, and the palace servants looked at each other and hesitated.

But Gan Lan was afraid that he could not catch up with the Crown Princess, so he didn't care about them at all and ran away in a hurry.

Just as I was at a loss, Aunt Weng came over leisurely with her hands clasped: "What's wrong?"

Everyone crowded around and asked, "Mammy, what should we do?"

"That's not easy..." Nanny Weng smiled, as steady as a rock.

Soon, hot water for bathing was passed from the inner hall, and a bundle was brought out for the servants to burn.

Nanny Weng raised her eyebrows and called the maid over: "Open the bundle."

It turned out to be the entire set of clothes that the Crown Princess was wearing just now!

"This is the queen's favorite..." The maid said timidly, "Mammy, is it really burned?"

Looking at the cloak embroidered with gold and phoenixes, Nanny Weng was silent for a moment before she sighed and said, "Leave the cloak quietly and burn the others."

When the palace gates opened at five o'clock in the morning, Zhu Qing was given a bowl of medicine and then taken out to recuperate.

When Wang Xifeng was eating breakfast, Wu Jin squatted at her feet and meowed for a long time.

The noise was so loud that even the good-tempered Nanny Ji couldn't stand it anymore. She asked An'er whether the cat was asking for food or a beating.

After Wang Xifeng heard what had happened, she ignored Nanny Ji's complaints and looked up to instruct Xia Shouzhong, "Last night, I seemed to hear a commotion outside.

"Go and find out what's going on.

“Also, although Cheng’en Palace only allows people to pay respects on the fifth or tenth day of each month, He Ke and I received a reward from the Crown Princess last night, so we should have gotten up early to kowtow to Her Majesty.

"You can also ask when is the best time for us to go there."

Xia Shouzhong understood and withdrew.

This time he was gone for a very long time, and came back in less than half an hour, and his face did not look good.

Wang Xifeng had finished her meal and was reading. Seeing this, she first asked Aunt Meng to take He Ke away, and then asked him what happened.

Once Xia Shouzhong started to act, he was extremely powerful. He told what happened last night and the news that Zhu Qing had been moved out, and then said:

"The Cheng'en Palace said that Zhuqing had a cold yesterday and has been moved away. The palace will use some herbs to fumigate this morning. Chenghui and Heke don't need to go there, but the Crown Princess plans to bring Tao Ge'er to Yiqiu Palace to play.

"When I came back, the person who was delivering the message from Cheng'en Palace to the Main Palace was returning to report."

"The Crown Princess is going to bring the young prince to Yi Qiu Palace?" Wang Xifeng was stunned.

Xia Shouzhong just nodded when Mei Ran came in and said, "At 7:00 pm, the Crown Princess will bring Prince Duan here to hide from the fumigation. She also said that she will have lunch in our palace.

"I even specifically asked what to eat for lunch. Please ask Wang Chenghui and Geng Chenghui to take care of it!"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "Crown Princess, are you here to show your goodwill?"
