"What did you say?" Commandery Princess Dongyang strode out of the pavilion, glaring at the Tong familyâs little grandson, "What did you just say?"
"Princess, why so fierce? Donât scare the child." The State Duchess said with a slight smile, then looked at her grandson, "Donât be afraid, come and tell Grandmother what you just said."
"Grandmother, Divine Doctor Mu was assassinated, and I heard he might be missing?" The little boy scratched his head, thought for a moment, and confirmed, "Yes, thatâs it."
"Secondary Princess Consort, thatâs how it is, I heard it too." Another child tugged at the Secondary Princess Consortâs sleeve and said.
"How did you two hear this?" Princess Consort Zhuang thought something was off, how could two children know about such a major event?
"Replying to the legitimate mother, my cousin from the Tong family and I heard it in Fatherâs study."
Princess Consort Zhuang was furious, "What were you doing in the study? Why arenât you behaving as noble young masters, instead eavesdropping? Secondary Princess Consort, what a son youâve taught!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Commandery Princess Dongyang rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Dongyang, Dongyang!"
Yang Chuxia quickly held her, and urgently told Princess Consort Zhuang, "Cousin-in-law, quickly call the physician again."
Having said that, Yang Chuxia instructed the maids of Commandery Princess Dongyang, "Hurry and check on your princess."
"Princess, Princess..." Dongyangâs maid, Su Ma, was so flustered that tears streamed down her face.
Yang Chuxia, who couldnât stand people crying in times like this, shouted, "Wipe your tears clean, why are you crying? Quickly come and support your princess."
"Cousin-in-law, donât be angry for now, quickly prepare a room. Have two strong maids carry Dongyang over." Yang Chuxia noticed Princess Consort Zhuang still glaring angrily at the Tong family, and quickly pulled her aside.
"Madam, we older maids can carry our princess." Two nannies rushed forward to take Commandery Princess Dongyang from Yang Chuxiaâs arms, while one checked her pulse.
Seeing it was nothing serious, the nanny was somewhat relieved, otherwise, theyâd be to blame when the young master returned.
"Yes, you see me." Princess Consort Zhuang, also shaken, quickly said, "Iâll head to that east side room, itâs close through the path behind the rockery, follow me."
Princess Consort Zhuang had hardly taken a few steps before turning back to the Tong family, "Stay here and wait for my confirmation. If I find out you spread rumors, you two boys will be severely punished."
It was Yang Chuxiaâs first time seeing the usually gentle and dignified Princess Consort Zhuang so angry and speaking so harshly, she couldnât help but take another look.
Upon reaching the east side room, the physician arrived. Previously, the physician had checked on Dongyang in the morning, and Princess Consort Zhuang had kept him nearby just in case, and it turned out he was needed.
"Princess Consort, the Commandery Princess was shocked, fortunately she has strong foundations and the pregnancy is stable, so nothing serious, but in the future, she must be well-nurtured. Even the best health canât withstand constant scares." The physician was puzzled, thinking what was going on; she was frightened in the morning, and now again within a few hours, and added, "Iâll first prescribe two doses to calm her nerves."
"Alright, go ahead."
Commandery Princess Dongyang hadnât woken up yet, but the matter was already known by Prince Zhuang and others in the front courtyard, and when Princess Consort Zhuang went out, they all came over.
