The maid was determined and said, "Since this is the case, there is no other choice."
Seeing the maid agree, He Zhiran took the initiative to support her, and walked to the Crown Princess Consort's palace step by step.
Contrary to their imagination, the Crown Princess Consort's palace was not the largest in the inner palace, but it looked shabby and remote instead of the largest.
Based on He Zhiran's experience of watching TV shows in his previous life, the fact that the Crown Princess Consort lived in such a place showed that she was not favored by the Crown Prince.
Not to mention the Prince's Mansion, even ordinary families would not let the official wife live in such a place.
With a belly full of doubts, the two followed the maid into the palace.
In fact, they didn't know that this was not a bedroom at all, but a cold palace in the Prince's Mansion.
The maid thought they were all people from the Prince's Mansion and knew all these things, so she didn't explain anything.
The outside looked like a small bedroom, but after walking in, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye were shocked.
The two also realized that this was most likely the cold palace.
He Zhiran inevitably complained in his heart: Emperor Shunwu was really conservative. Back then, the Mo Family men guarded the borders and made the southern border fall like flowers and water.
For such a small defeated country, why did he need to send his own daughter here for a political marriage to suffer?
The Southern Border was obviously not taking the Da Shun Dynasty seriously, otherwise how dare they treat the princess who came to be married so rudely?
This was clearly slapping the Da Shun Dynasty in the face...
Of course, their purpose this time was to see the Fourth Princess. They wouldn’t care about things that Emperor Shunwu should worry about.
The Southern Border was not as regular as Da Shun, and the folk customs were more open than Da Shun’s, and there was no rule that men from outside could not enter the harem.
Therefore, no one questioned them all the way to the cold palace with the maid.
The maid limped and took the two directly to the Fourth Princess's room, and asked another maid to ask the Crown Prince to invite the witch doctor.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran took a simple look. In the room, only a dim oil lamp was burning, and with no furnishings in the room, it looked bleak.
Lying on a broken wooden bed opposite the door was a disheveled woman.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye walked over quickly.
Mo Jiuye had often entered the palace since he was a child. He was also escorting the Fourth Princess’ marriage, so he was no stranger to the appearance of the woman before him.
After confirming the identity of the Fourth Princess, Mo Jiuye nodded slightly to He Zhiran.
Only then did He Zhiran reach out and touch the Fourth Princess's wrist pulse.
After about two minutes, He Zhiran raised her hand.
The anxious maid asked, "How is the Crown Princess Consort?"
He Zhiran shook her head: "She has reached the point of exhaustion. Now she only has one breath left. You might as well get ready!"
What she didn't say was that when she took her pulse, she felt that her pulse was somewhat similar to that of the few Mo Family brothers who were poisoned, but not exactly the same.
He Zhiran guessed that it was very likely that the Fourth Princess was poisoned, but it was different from the puppet Gu that the Mo Family brothers had.
Without completely confirming it, He Zhiran did not say it.
"No... Don't talk nonsense. The Crown Princess Consort is a precious daughter of a thousand gold. It’s impossible for her to just die like this. You simply don't understand medical skills, so you say that."
In fact, the maid knew very well that the Crown Princess Consort was indeed dying, but she just didn't want to believe this fact.
She had entered the palace to serve the Fourth Princess since she was a child. The Fourth Princess treated her extremely well, and often helped her family.
She had long determined that she would be the Fourth Princess's person for the rest of her life. Even after following her to the Southern Border for marriage and the princess became the unloved Crown Princess Consort, she never thought of leaving, and even thought that even if the Fourth Princess really died, she would definitely follow her so that the princess would not be lonely.
He Zhiran was also very helpless about this. She was a doctor, not a god.
At this time, the Fourth Princess's condition was much more serious than that of Mo Xiuyan when they had saved him, and it was beyond medicine and treatment.
And she could see from the Fourth Princess's pulse that the number of the Fourth Princess’ miscarriages was no less than three times, which had completely injured her vitality. Coupled with her grieving heart, I'm afraid she wouldn't make it through the night.
She looked at the grief-stricken maid and shook her hands helplessly: "The Crown Princess Consort’s condition is before you. If you don't believe my words, there is nothing I can do."
Although she said that, He Zhiran had no intention of leaving.
Because she guessed that since the Crown Prince could bring the Fourth Princess to such a place, he would most likely abandon the marriage with the Da Shun Dynasty and would not care about her life or death.
The maid who had just gone out to find the Crown Prince was probably going to come back with no result. At that time, they would still have to place their last hope on her.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, the maid who had gone to find the Crown Prince came back.
"Sister Lan, the Crown Prince’s people simply wouldn’t let me in, and said that if I disturbed the Crown Prince’s elegance, they would punish me."
At this point, Lan Er was completely petrified.
After a long time, she trembled and said, "Could it be that the princess is going to die in the Southern Border like this?"
As her voice fell, the two maids cried at the same time, and even tried to shake the Fourth Princess awake at the bedside.
Seeing this, He Zhiran hurriedly stopped the behavior of the two.
"She was barely holding on just now. Do you want her to die faster by doing this?"
At this moment, Lan Er could no longer attend to the disrespect in He Zhiran's tone. She knelt in front of her crying and said,
"Please save our princess. As long as you can save the princess alive, I am willing to be an ox or a horse to repay you."
Although He Zhiran didn't have a good impression of the Fourth Princess, these two maids were absolutely loyal.
Facing such people, she couldn’t bear to be cruel at all.
It was a pity that she was also powerless in the face of the Fourth Princess’s current situation.
She gently helped Lan Er up and sighed, "I have a way to make your princess regain consciousness. At this time she can convey some things to you, but I don't have the ability to let her live on."
Seeing her tone was firm and she was not lying, and looking at the Fourth Princess on the bed with her eyes closed without the slightest vitality, Lan Er had already prepared herself for the burial.
However, before that, she still wanted to serve the Fourth Princess again.
Lan Er wiped her tears and said, "Please wake up the princess."
He Zhiran did not hesitate either, took out the needle pack from the space, and also brought a cardiotonic.
The two measures combined would definitely wake up the Fourth Princess.
She first pricked several acupoints on the Fourth Princess with silver needles, then took the opportunity when the two maids were not paying attention to inject a shot of cardiotonic into the Fourth Princess.
After about five minutes, the Fourth Princess woke up leisurely.
Seeing the moment she opened her eyes, Lan Er and the other maid rushed to the bedside.
"Princess, you finally woke up."
The Fourth Princess looked at the two maids who had grown up with her with little energy, then shifted her gaze to Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
"Who...who are they?"
At this point, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran felt that there was no need to conceal their identities.
Especially He Zhiran, who was clearest in her heart that the way she had awakened the Fourth Princess now could not prolong her time, but would accelerate her death rate instead.
