"Sixth Prince..." the palace maid cried out and rushed forward.

When she went to ask for help, the Sixth Prince only coughed up blood. How come he died as soon as she left?

The young palace maid was filled with resentment for failing to protect her master. "Sixth Prince, you saved my life. If you die, I will die with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from above her head:

"There's no need for them to be buried alive with the dead for the time being."

The young palace maid looked up at the person who had spoken.

The woman before him was kneeling beside the sixth prince.

Song Qingning withdrew her hand from checking the Sixth Prince's breathing. "The Sixth Prince isn't dead; he's just fainted."

Although he wasn't dead, he was not far from it.

When Zhang Niangzi was helping her mother recover, she would occasionally visit and learn some basic things, such as how to tell if someone was about to die.

Song Qingning lifted the Sixth Prince's eyelids, revealing his dilated pupils and ashen complexion.

The sixth prince is nearing his end.

In his previous life, the sixth prince died at the age of twenty-two. His vomiting of blood and fainting today may be due to that cup of wine at the welcoming banquet, or perhaps it is because of that cup of wine that he will die prematurely.

"quack……"

The sound of ducks quacking came from the lake.

The image of the Sixth Prince and Meng Yushu holding hands flashed through Song Qingning's mind, and she finally felt a pang of pity.

"Help him up from the waist up!" Song Qingning said.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment.

For some reason, she did not question it at all and immediately did as she was told, helping the sixth prince up and letting him lean his upper body against her.

"And now?" The palace maid looked at her and saw her taking off her earrings.

Song Qingning took off her earrings, which her mother had given her, and two pills were hidden inside.

The pills were made by my mother after she got the recipe from Zhang Niangzi, who then searched for countless precious medicinal herbs and asked Zhang Niangzi to make them.

My mother said this medicine could save my life.

Song Qingning had seen the prescription, and Zhang Niangzi had also told her about its uses.

Although this pill cannot cure the Sixth Prince's illness, it should be able to wake him up temporarily.

Song Qingning took out a pill and put it into the Sixth Prince's mouth.

He then instructed a palace maid, "Go and fetch water."

The palace maid immediately handed the sixth prince over to Song Qingning, hurriedly ran back to the palace, brought water, and fed the sixth prince water.

"Sixth Prince, will everything be alright?" The little palace maid looked at the Sixth Prince's still tightly closed eyes. She dared not cry, afraid of bringing bad luck upon the Sixth Prince.

The woman in front of her seemed to be the only lifeline she could grasp.

However, the sixth prince did not wake up after taking the medicine.

Not far away, Consort Hui rushed over and, seeing Xie Lian with his eyes closed, staggered and lunged at him.

"Sixth son, sixth son..." Consort Hui pushed Song Qingning away, her eyes already blurred with tears. "The imperial physician, where is the imperial physician?"

Then she saw the large patch of blood on his chest, and the pain was excruciating. "Why is he vomiting blood? Why is my Liu'er vomiting blood?!"

She knew all too well why she was vomiting blood!

Liu'er can't drink alcohol. It was that cup of wine at the welcoming banquet, Xie Yuzhen and Xie Yuqi, and that dog emperor that made Liu'er end up like this!

Consort Hui gritted her teeth.

The young palace maid apologized with remorse, "Your Highness, it was my fault. I shouldn't have let His Highness go out... Your Highness, this young lady just gave His Highness medicine, so perhaps His Highness will be alright."

medicine?

Consort Hui then noticed that, besides Liu'er's maid Shuang'er, there was another person.

Upon seeing Song Qingning, Consort Hui was startled.

Song Qingning! It was actually Song Qingning!

"What medicine did you give him?"

Song Qingning is an enemy, not a friend. If she were to harm Liu'er...

Before Song Qingning could answer, Consort Hui ordered, "Guards! Tie her up!"

The nanny who came with her immediately approached Song Qingning.

Just then, Empress Meng's voice came:

"Who dares to touch her!"

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Empress Meng leading Aunt Ling over.

She had an embroidered handkerchief wrapped around her hand, with faint traces of blood seeping through.

As soon as Empress Meng finished speaking, Aunt Ling strode forward and stood in front of Song Qingning as a guard.

Consort Hui was slightly taken aback.

The Sixth Prince's palace is in a remote location, so why would Empress Meng come here?

Consort Hui suddenly thought of Chuxiu Palace, a strange glint in her eyes, which she quickly concealed and disappeared from sight, looking worried about her son and completely at a loss.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was too worried about Liu'er, which is why I was so rude." Consort Hui's eyes were red.

He then looked at Song Qingning, "Lord Song, may I ask what medicine you gave Liu'er? Why hasn't he woken up yet? I only heard that Liu'er vomited blood, but now he's unconscious. What if something happens to Liu'er because of the medicine...?"

Consort Hui's voice was gentle.

But every word and phrase is a sharp thorn.

Song Qingning heard this and a flash of sarcasm crossed her eyes, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

She thought it through very thoroughly.

Those pills were for the sixth prince.

How could someone who could play with a child like Meng Yushu, and who was so eager to catch ducks and deliver roast ducks to Meng Yushu, be a bad person?

As for Consort Hui, she didn't care.

She didn't even want to explain the pills anymore; once the Sixth Prince woke up, the imperial physician examined him, which was more effective than any explanation.

Song Qingning looked at the Sixth Prince.

Those tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, finally showing signs of waking up.

"The Sixth Prince is awake! The Sixth Prince is awake!"

The young palace maid had been keeping a close eye on the Sixth Prince. When she saw him slowly open his eyes, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

Consort Hui looked at her son in her arms, "Sixth son, you're awake, you're awake! You scared your mother to death!"

Xie Lian's face remained deathly pale.

There was still blood at the corner of his mouth as he forced a smile.

"I've worried Mother again. Mother, I'm fine. Shuang'er, why are you crying? Physician Ling said I'd live to be twenty-two, and I haven't reached that age yet!"

"Sixth son..." Consort Hui's heart trembled slightly.

Just then, Emperor Yuan arrived with his entourage, including the imperial physicians.

The imperial physician met Emperor Yuan on his way here.

Emperor Yuan was unconcerned when he heard that Xie Lian had vomited blood.

The physician Ling asserted that he would not live past twenty-two, and in his heart, he was already a dead man.

He went to Chuxiu Palace and found that Song Qingning was not there. After asking around, he learned that she might have come here, so he came over.

Sure enough, Song Qingning was there.

Not only Song Qingning, but also Empress Meng!

The group bowed to Emperor Yuan, and the atmosphere between the emperor and empress was strange.

Consort Hui, disregarding the Emperor and Empress, saw the approaching imperial physician and asked, "Imperial Physician Lin, why isn't it Imperial Physician Liu?"

The doctor who had been taking care of Liu'er's health was Physician Liu.

He was most familiar with Liu'er's illness.

"Princess Yuzhen had a headache and had already asked Physician Liu to leave," said Physician Lin.

Consort Hui's expression changed slightly.

Xie Yuzhen, she must have done it on purpose.

Consort Hui didn't say anything, but could only let Imperial Physician Lin examine the Sixth Prince.

Although Physician Lin was not familiar with the Sixth Prince's condition and could not handle the worsening of the prince's condition, he could still make a diagnosis by taking the prince's pulse.

Imperial Physician Lin took the Sixth Prince's pulse, and after a long while, exclaimed in surprise, "Has Your Highness taken any medicine?"

Consort Hui thought of the medicine Song Qingning had given Liu'er. "What does the Imperial Physician mean?"

"The Sixth Prince's pulse shows signs of danger, but there is also a gentle energy that keeps him steady, which is why he is alright."

The implication was that the medicine stabilized the danger and saved the Sixth Prince's life!

Consort Hui's heart was struck hard.

She had misunderstood Song Qingning.

Feeling guilty, she heard Xie Lian ask, "Mother, did you give me the medicine?"

Consort Hui twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Song Qingning, "It wasn't me, it was Lord Song."

As she finished speaking, Xie Lian looked at Song Qingning, and Emperor Yuan also looked at her.
