Chapter 760: Concubine Hao knows about the 5th prince
Chuxiu Palace.
The news that the fifth prince would not live to reach adulthood had already spread in the palace, and Concubine Hao naturally also learned about it.
When Chu'er heard the news, he felt his heart ached, let alone the Empress?
She mustered up a lot of energy and looked at Concubine Hao's expression, only to find that she was a little stunned, as if she couldn't accept this...
Chu Er called out cautiously, "My Lady..."
Concubine Hao finally came to her senses and shook her head weakly: "No... I don't believe it..."
"This can't be true! This can't be true!"
She tightly grasped Chu'er's hand, as if grasping the last straw: "Help me to go see the fifth prince, I don't believe this!"
"I risked my life to give birth to this child. How could he not live past the age of 20?!"
Chu Er advised with tears in her eyes: "My Lady, please calm down..."
"Doctor Tang said that you are too weak to get out of bed..."
How could Concubine Hao remain calm at this time? "I said, help me go see the Fifth Prince!"
"Chu'er, do you really have to watch me die of anxiety?!"
Looking up and meeting Hao Bin's bloodshot eyes, Chu'er was speechless. She helped Hao Bin up with tears in her eyes and walked out.
The fifth prince was weak, so Heyuanpan arranged him in a side hall and assigned someone to take care of him. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave at will.
Just when Chu'er was helping Concubine Hao over, Heyuanpan just came out from the side hall.
Seeing Concubine Hao, he bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Hao. May you be blessed with good health!"
Concubine Hao's face was as pale as paper, and there was no blood on her lips. She looked at He Yuanpan anxiously and said, "He Yuanpan, can you let me in to see the Fifth Prince?"
He Yuanpan frowned slightly, but still explained patiently: "This... Madam Hao, the Fifth Prince is weak, and the slightest disturbance may affect his health, or even his life..."
"You should know that the wet nurses and nannies who serve him are not allowed to leave the side hall. Food, clothing, daily necessities and even toilets are all delivered and taken by special people. This is to avoid bringing dirty things from outside to the Fifth Prince."
"You may as well wait until the fifth prince is one month old and in better shape before you go in to see him."
Hao Bin's eyes felt sore.
But...she can't wait until the fifth prince's full moon...
Chu'er was also very sad.
But they couldn't tell He Yuanpan the truth.
In the end, for the sake of the Fifth Prince's health, Concubine Hao gave up the idea of going in to visit him and looked at He Yuanpan with expectant eyes: "He Yuanpan, I have heard all the rumors in the palace. They must be false, right?"
"Tell me! If they dare to frame the Fifth Prince, I will have His Majesty punish them!"
He Yuanpan is already a grandfather, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be moved.
Poor parents in the world...
He lowered his head and sighed heavily: "Madam Hao, I am incompetent..."
"Perhaps in the future, a miracle doctor will be born in the Great Zhou Dynasty and can change the fate of the fifth prince."
What's the difference between such illusory hope and no hope at all?
Concubine Hao's body shook, as if she couldn't bear the blow.
"Empress?!"
Chu'er was extremely worried and quickly helped Concubine Hao back.
Hao Bin was lying on the bed, tears streaming down her face without her knowing when: "Why?"
"Why is God so unfair to us mother and son..."
Chu Er said bitterly: "My queen, all this is because of that vicious woman, Concubine Liang!"
"You have not yet avenged yourself and the Fifth Prince. You must cheer up!"
At this time, Meng'er's voice came from the door: "Madam, Doctor Tang is here."
Hao Bin wiped the tears from her face and said weakly: "Please ask him to come in..."
"Yes."
Tang Luochuan stood still and bowed, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty Concubine Hao. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Concubine Hao raised her eyelids and said, "I have already said that Doctor Tang is my lifesaver. No need to be polite."
Tang Luochuan did not dwell on this issue. He took out a pulse pillow from the medicine box and took Concubine Hao's pulse as usual.
After a moment, he frowned and said, "The Queen's energy and blood are almost exhausted. In the last days, she can only use medicine to keep herself alive. Don't have any violent emotional fluctuations. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."
Hao Bin and Chu Er understood the rest of the words without Tang Luochuan saying anything.
I’m afraid she won’t even be able to live as long as she originally did.
Concubine Hao didn't care about this matter. As if she had grabbed the last straw, she looked at Tang Luochuan and asked, "Doctor Tang, your medical skills are so good, can you save my fifth prince?!"
"As long as you can let him grow up safely and live to the end of his life, I am willing to pay any price!"
Tang Luochuan lowered his head and said, "Replying to Concubine Hao, not only the Court Judge He, but His Majesty has also asked all the doctors with good medical skills in the Imperial Hospital to treat the Fifth Prince. However, the Fifth Prince was born prematurely due to congenital deficiencies, and we, the humble officials, are powerless..."
Haopin still couldn't accept this result: "How could it be like this?"
"The Imperial Concubine Chen once gave me a life-saving pill. That pill should have been made by you, right? It was able to pull me back from the brink of death when I was having a difficult labor and hemorrhage. How could it not save the Fifth Prince's life?"
Tang Luochuan said truthfully: "Although it can temporarily keep a person alive, it is not an elixir and cannot change the destined life span."
The last hope was shattered, and Concubine Hao lay on the bed with tears streaming down her face...
Tang Luochuan did not forget what Shen Zhinian had told him, and continued, "The Imperial Concubine Chen asked me to tell the Imperial Concubine Hao that Imperial Concubine Kang has learned about the Fifth Prince's situation and is willing to raise him. Imperial Concubine Kang is gentle and generous, and she likes children, so she will definitely treat the Fifth Prince well."
"Kang Guiren?"
Concubine Kang was not favored much on a daily basis, but she was a rare noble with a title in the palace, and Concubine Hao had a deep impression of her.
When Tang Luochuan mentioned this, a gentle face appeared in Hao Bin's mind.
"Lady Kang has never been a pushover in the palace, and I've never heard of her having any disputes with anyone. She has lost a child, so she must like the fifth prince. It's just that..."
At this point, Concubine Hao frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, she should be someone in Concubine Liang's palace?"
Generally speaking, the concubines in the side halls will be dependent on the empress in the main hall, and they are in the same camp.
For example, Concubine Sun and Concubine Chen.
Tang Luochuan said: "Since Concubine Chen has made this suggestion, it proves that Concubine Kang is not Concubine Liang's person. Concubine Hao can rest assured."
Hao Bin nodded: "That's right..."
"It's because I care too much about the Fifth Prince that I'm afraid of making any mistakes..."
"Ren Kang is a suitable candidate. Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen is very interested!"
Haopin didn't know what she was thinking of, and gradually cheered up: "Please ask Doctor Tang to tell Her Majesty Chen Guifei that I have something that I need your help with..."
