Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Prince Kang Coughs Blood—Is He Dying?!
Bai Zhi’er originally fell asleep listening to Bai Xilie tell stories.
However, in her muddled state of sleep, she suddenly heard some rustling sounds at the door.
The little one didn’t initially plan to care and turned over, licking her pink lips.
Yet, at this moment, her father Bai Xilie, who was sleeping beside her, actually got up.
Immediately afterward, Bai Zhi’er noticed, Bai Xilie lowered his voice, sternly saying: "What’s the matter that can’t wait until morning?"
Eunuch Quan Xi’s anxious whisper came: "Emperor! Just now, at Prince Kang’s Mansion, the Princess Consort invited someone to use a token to enter the palace."
"Saying to ask you to send two Imperial Physicians to have a look, Prince Kang... seems like he’s not going to make it!"
Bai Xilie was suddenly shocked.
"What? What’s going on?"
Eunuch Quan Xi shook his head: "The person who came didn’t explain clearly, only said Prince Kang went to the theater to listen to music, and was carried back late at night, already confused."
"Mouth calling out the Princess Consort Kang’s name, but couldn’t wake up, and that person also said, when he went out, the Prince was vomiting blood!"
Bai Xilie immediately ordered: "Quick, send Doctor Yang and Doctor Zhong!"
Eunuch Quan Xi just turned to leave.
However, Quanxi seemed to think of something, couldn’t help but turn back: "Emperor, a while ago Zhe Li Garden caught fire, causing several deaths."
"The Prince went there to watch the opera, and got sick when he came back, do you think it’s necessary to find a few Taoists to go with the Imperial Physicians to have a look?"
Bai Xilie pondered: "Go make the arrangements, it must be quick, no delay allowed."
"Yes, I will go now."
Eunuch Quan Xi hurried away.
"Daddy~" A little voice came from behind Bai Xilie.
A hugging her cloth tiger, Bai Zhi’er rubbed her big eyes, standing there and asked: "What’s wrong with Third Uncle?"
The night wind blew in from outside the door, bringing the chill of the spring night.
Bai Xilie looked at his daughter’s tender black hair, her round, innocent face full of childhood innocence.
He was unwilling to say too much to frighten the little one.
So he simply held his daughter in his arms: "Zhi’er don’t be afraid, was it Daddy’s loud voice that woke you up just now?"
"Your Third Uncle is ill, but Daddy has already arranged for the two best Imperial Physicians to go, you don’t need to worry."
After speaking, Bai Xilie patted his daughter’s head.
"Zhi’er, go back to sleep first, and when you wake up tomorrow, Daddy will take you to Prince Kang’s Mansion to visit your Third Uncle. Is that okay?"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes.
Is Third Uncle just sick?
But, she just heard Eunuch Quan Xi say, Third Uncle was vomiting blood!
Bai Zhi’er’s little hands secretly counted twice behind her back.
In her black, watery eyes, a flash of surprise appeared.
Originally blurred due to sleepiness, her big eyes suddenly became clear.
"Daddy~" Bai Zhi’er threw aside her long pillow and hugged Bai Xilie’s arm: "Zhi Bao is really worried about Third Uncle, let’s go out of the palace now to see him!"
Bai Xilie frowned: "It’s too late now, and Zhi’er needs to rest."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her eyes, pitifully said: "But Zhi’er can’t sleep at all thinking about Third Uncle’s health."
"Besides, Daddy is Third Uncle’s brother, if Daddy is there, Third Uncle will be braver."
Bai Xilie was silent, obviously hesitating.
The little one took the opportunity to shake his hand, speaking in a soft, sticky tone: "Daddy, come on, let’s go now, Third Uncle’s condition doesn’t wait for anyone!"
Bai Xilie finally sighed: "Alright then."
Quan Xi said the situation was serious, he simply couldn’t sleep anyway.
After all, Prince Kang is his own younger brother, naturally he has to care.
Bai Xilie sent someone to summon a carriage and asked Qingmei to change Bai Zhi’er’s clothes.
When the little one followed her dad onto the carriage to leave the palace, a flash of fierce determination passed through her dark, glass-like eyes.
Now she’s going to see who’s being so insolent, bullying her family!
