Chapter 215 Your Highness, You Hurt Me!

"Brother, I have made up my mind."

"I also want to support my second brother and become the candidate for the new crown prince."

Li Chengping said righteously.

What a joke.

If he doesn't take sides quickly, when that day really comes, his father will go crazy and drag him out to take the blame and compete with his second brother.

The outcome will definitely be death!
Whether in terms of personal qualifications, character, talent, or the support of civil and military officials in the court, he was not even half as good as his second brother.

Then what can we fight for?
Therefore, Li Chengping felt his scalp tingling when he thought of this result.

The most important thing is that his second brother treats him very well now, so he doesn't have the face to compete with him anymore.

Although this is just his guess, this exception cannot be ruled out.

After all, his father's behavior made it very likely that he would do so.

This is also why he had to choose a side just now.

As long as Li Chengping now, like the eldest brother, chooses to stand behind the second brother and support him to become the crown prince.

Then the matter will fall into place naturally and they will stay out of it.

Moreover, now that they have lined up, if the second brother becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely treat them well.

After hearing what Li Chengru said, his answer was within his expectations.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense will make the right choice when faced with such a situation.

"Okay, if that's the case, then listen to me."

Afterwards, Li Chengru came close to Li Chengping and whispered.

……

the other side.

After leaving with his two brothers, Li Chengze walked towards the location of "Guangxin Palace".

He didn't know what Li Chengru and Li Chengping were thinking at the moment.

After all, from the beginning to the end, he had no interest in the position of crown prince, let alone thought about fighting for it.

When he finds a chance in the future, he will kill that old bastard Emperor Qing, and then he will be the emperor. Why would he bother fighting for the position of crown prince?

Soon, Li Chengze arrived at the place where the harem lived.

Just as he was walking slowly forward, he saw a palace maid walking hurriedly to the side not far away.

"what?"

“That’s not…”

Li Chengze recognized the palace maid, who seemed to be his mother's concubine, named Chunxiang.

He was walking so fast and looked so frightened, there must be something wrong.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze quickly stepped forward and stopped the palace maid Chunxiang.

"Sister Chunxiang, wait a moment."

"Why are you walking so fast?"

When the palace maid Chunxiang was walking forward, she saw someone stopping her. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Li Chengze's figure.

"It turns out to be the Second Prince, why are you here?"

Li Chengze said: "I have nothing to do, so I just stroll here."

The maid Chunxiang nodded and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I have things to do at the Imperial Hospital."

As she said this, she bowed to Li Chengze and continued walking forward.

"Oh, right." The maid Chunxiang had just walked a few steps when she turned around and said to Li Chengze, "Second Prince, please go and see the Imperial Concubine. She has suddenly fainted."

"I'm going to the Imperial Hospital right away and ask the imperial physician to take a look."

Ok? ? ?
When Li Chengze heard this, his face changed instantly. He hurried to the front of the palace maid Chunxiang and said sternly:
"What did you say?"

"My mother fainted?"

"what happened?"

Palace maid Chunxiang was completely stunned by Li Chengze's three consecutive questions.

Soon, she reacted and said, "I don't know the specifics, but the Imperial Concubine suddenly fainted." "I have to go find the imperial physician immediately. If it's any later, something bad will happen to the Imperial Concubine."

Li Chengze said: "Why look for an imperial physician? I know medical skills."

"Take me to see mother's condition."

"Ah? This..." The maid Chunxiang was a little hesitant.

Li Chengze said again: "What are you still standing there for? Go quickly."

"Okay..." The palace maid Chunxiang said no more and walked forward with Li Chengze.

……

Soon, Li Chengze followed the palace maid Chunxiang to the palace where Concubine Shu lived.

"Second Prince, the Queen is in the bedroom..."

Before the palace maid Chunxiang could finish her words, she saw Li Chengze walking past her and into the bedroom.

Sure enough, when Li Chengze arrived at the bedroom, he saw Concubine Shu lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face flushed, covered with thick bedding.

"Mother concubine!"

Li Chengze stepped forward quickly, came to the side of Concubine Shu, stretched out his hand and began to take her pulse.

Then he turned to the maid Chunxiang and shouted angrily: "Who did this?"

"Mother's body is already burning hot, why do you need to cover yourself with such a heavy blanket?"

The maid Chunxiang was so frightened that she fell to her knees and whispered, "Second Prince, calm down. This was the queen's own request."

"She felt very cold all the time. Even with such heavy bedding covering her, she still felt cold."

Li Chengze glanced at the maid Chunxiang and immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't kneel down, go get some ice cubes, the more the better."

"Yes, I'll go now." The maid Chunxiang nodded in agreement, turned around and ran out the door.

Afterwards, Li Chengze began to press on several acupoints on Concubine Shu's body to cool her down.

Then he quickly opened the doors and windows to allow the room to be ventilated.

Fortunately, the illness his mother suffered from was just common typhoid fever and was not a big problem.

Later, I will use ice cubes to cool my mother's body physically.

Once the body temperature drops, take some medicine to treat typhoid and you will recover soon.

Shortly after,
Chunxiang, the palace maid who had just left, hurriedly walked in with a basin of ice cubes.

"Second Prince, the ice is here."

Li Chengze nodded, picked up a towel from the side, wrapped the ice cubes in it, and placed it on Concubine Shu's forehead.

Then, he turned to the maid Chunxiang and said, "Get some towels, soak them in hot water, and start wiping my mother's palms and soles repeatedly."

"Wipe each of you two hundred times first."

"Yes." The palace maid Chunxiang hurriedly picked up the towel, dipped it in hot water in the basin, and started to get busy.

After seeing this, Li Chengze sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, Concubine Shu was Li Chengze's nominal biological mother and treated him very well.

They had met several times before, and Li Chengze could clearly feel that Concubine Shu was sincere to him, completely different from that old man Emperor Qing.

If that was the case, he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch his mother in trouble.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary typhoid fever.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and began to drink it in big gulps.

However, when Li Chengze just took a sip, his face changed instantly and he hurriedly threw away the teacup in his hand.

There's poison in this tea!

Immediately afterwards, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the wrist of the palace maid Chunxiang, and put her behind her back.

"oops!"

The maid Chunxiang was startled and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, what are you...doing!"

"It hurts... me...hiss"

"My wrist... it hurts!"
