Chapter 167 My body feels so hot
Green Ivy was extremely envious and couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many wet nurses in the world, but I've never seen one as good as this family. Sister, you are truly blessed!"
Blessing?
The wet nurse gave a wry smile.
His Highness Prince Chen and Princess Anning have indeed treated her very well.
But thinking about how she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, and how her breasts were raw and bleeding from being sucked so much, the wet nurse would rather not have this blessing.
She would rather pick vegetables and carry manure buckets than take care of children, and she even took care of two children at a time.
Seeing the wet nurse's distressed expression, Green Ivy put down the vegetables she was holding and nervously twisted her clothes, asking, "Sister, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
The wet nurse hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Sigh, seeing how young you are, I suppose you haven't gotten married yet. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
The wet nurse talked more and more, and it seemed that Green Ivy was about to take the bait, so Green Ivy's mind became more and more active.
She sat down next to the wet nurse and lowered her voice mysteriously: "How could I not understand? I am the eldest daughter in the family. Although I am not yet married, I have seen my mother feeding my younger siblings over the years, so I am quite familiar with it."
She pointed to the wet nurse's full breasts: "Does it hurt here?"
The nanny looked like she'd seen a ghost, but didn't refute it.
Green Ivy was overjoyed; she had clearly guessed correctly.
She smiled knowingly and said, "My mother has a secret recipe. If you apply the ointment made with that recipe, the pain will stop immediately. If you trust me, I'll ask my mother for a jar tomorrow and bring it to you next time I deliver vegetables."
The wet nurse lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Alright, I won't treat you unfairly. If you bring me the plaster, I'll give you money."
As agreed, two days later, Green Ivy once again disguised herself as a vegetable farmer and sneaked into the villa, delivering a plaster mixed with poison to the wet nurse.
The wet nurse thanked her repeatedly, took the plaster, and went back to her room, seemingly eager to try the medicine's effects.
Watching the nanny's retreating figure, Green Ivy's hands trembled slightly, her heart filled with fear and guilt.
That jar of ointment could last for two months. After the wet nurse applied the ointment, she would breastfeed the young prince, and thus the poison would indirectly end up in the young prince's mouth.
The thought of such a young child soon becoming a victim of the power struggle within the family caused Green Ivy's heart to ache.
However, she was forced into this situation and had no other choice. If she did not do as Bai Yiru instructed, her fate would only be worse.
"I'm sorry, young master..." Green Ivy murmured softly, unable to bear staying any longer, and hurriedly turned and left in a disheveled state.
When they returned to Prince Chen's residence, the sky was already showing a faint light of dawn, and it looked like daylight was just around the corner.
At that time, Bai Yiru had not slept all night and was sitting in front of her dressing table, waiting for news from Green Ivy.
Upon entering the room, Green Ivy was startled to see Bai Yiru sitting alone in a single layer of clothing under the dim candlelight, and she thought she had seen a ghost.
Hearing the noise, Bai Yiru slowly turned around. Her face, which had not slept all night, was withered and sallow, and her cold and gloomy eyes were even more terrifying than a demon.
Seeing that it was Green Ivy, she parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Green Ivy's face grew increasingly pale, and she thought to herself, "It would be better if I really saw a ghost..."
Although she harbored some resentment, she didn't show it on her face, and simply bowed her head obediently and replied, "Your Majesty, it has been taken care of."
Upon receiving the message, Bai Yiru smiled with satisfaction: "Well done. When I become the principal wife, you will certainly receive your due rewards!"
On the surface, Green Ivy obediently expressed her gratitude, but inwardly she thought that Bai Yiru was daydreaming.
Given Prince Chen's personality, even if Xu Jiaojiao were to lose her beloved son and pass away in grief, Prince Chen would probably not fall in love with someone else because of this.
It should be noted that Prince Chen has been in power for over three years, and in those three years, apart from Xu Jiaojiao, he has never shown the slightest bit of affection to the women in his harem. It's a mystery where Bai Yiru gets her confidence that she can secure a place in Prince Chen's heart...
……
Half a month later, at the villa.
On a sunny spring afternoon, Xu Jiaojiao nestled in a rocking chair with her baby, Yun'en, basking in the sun.
The rocking chair swayed gently, and little Yun'en, who had just finished drinking milk, lay quietly in her mother's arms, sleeping peacefully with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a satisfied smile on her little face.
Xu Jiaojiao gently stroked the child's soft back, her eyes filled with love.
Feeling the child's small, soft body, she couldn't help but murmur, "Little Yun'en, you must grow up quickly. When you grow up, you must be like your father, a true and upright man..."
Upon returning from his patrol, Zhao Yunzheng, who had been watching the mother and daughter for a long time, heard these words and his eyelashes trembled; his heart softened completely.
He gently stepped forward and stroked Xu Jiaojiao's soft, dark hair: "Yun'en has finally fallen asleep, you should go and get some sleep too, I'll hold the baby."
Xu Jiaojiao was taken aback when she saw Prince Chen suddenly appear, but she quickly came to her senses.
She smiled and shook her head: "I'm not tired. Little Yun'en just had her milk and is sleeping soundly. Your Highness, you are busy with countless affairs and work very hard. You are the one who should rest."
Zhao Yunzheng chuckled.
Knowing he couldn't persuade Xu Jiaojiao otherwise, he simply had Dali bring out a deck chair so he could sit next to Xu Jiaojiao and sunbathe.
"Ouch..."
The two were swaying slowly and chatting leisurely when Xiao Yun'en, in Xu Jiaojiao's arms, suddenly stirred and made an unconscious murmur.
The two of them immediately looked at Xiao Yun'en.
Seeing that Xiao Yun'en was still fast asleep with her eyes closed, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Yunzheng couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the child's cheek, his eyes full of affection: "Jiaojiao, Yun'en is looking more and more like you."
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and was about to speak when she saw Zhao Yunzheng suddenly frown and his expression turn serious.
Thanks to her mother's keen senses, Xu Jiaojiao immediately realized that something was wrong with little Yun'en in her arms.
She immediately sat up straight and reached out to touch Xiao Yun'en's cheek.
Feeling the heat from her fingertips, Xu Jiaojiao's heart tightened suddenly: "Yun En?"
She immediately pulled Xiao Yun'en into her arms, turning her face upwards.
Seeing Yun'en's unusually flushed cheeks, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes instantly reddened: "Your Highness... Yun'en... Yun'en's body is so hot!"
Zhao Yunzheng also noticed something was wrong, and immediately got up and went forward to carefully check on Xiao Yun'en's condition.
Seeing that Xiao Yun'en's breathing was becoming weaker and her complexion was getting worse, his heart sank: "Yingyi! Quickly, go and get a doctor!"
The figure who had been resting with his eyes closed at the entrance of the courtyard suddenly sprang to his senses and instinctively began to run.
As he ran, he kept wondering: What happened?
Cailian and Granny Li, who were also at the courtyard gate, heard the shouts and hurriedly ran in.
Seeing the young prince unconscious and his face flushed, Cailian turned pale with fright and looked helplessly at Granny Li.
