Chapter 40 The Princess Is Seriously Ill
Lin Jiangcheng thought for a while, stood up and said, "I'll go see her." Just as he was about to lift his foot, he suddenly looked down at his clothes, "Go," he said to Lin Xi, "take the clothes I made for the New Year." Take out a few sets of clothes, I want to wear them more beautifully."

Lin Xi sighed inwardly, and hurried to find clothes.

In Yangyuan Hall.Madam Zheng was talking to the princess.

The concubine looked at the account book, worried in her heart, and said to Madam Zheng: "This income is getting less and less every year, and this year can't make it through!"

Madam Zheng hesitated to speak.

The princess said, "What's the matter with you?"

Mother Zheng said, "I shouldn't have said this, but..."

The princess said: "If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Mother Zheng said: "Second Young Master has become more and more handsome in the past few years. I heard that he is quite famous in the capital."

The princess smiled triumphantly: "Cheng'er is indeed very good, if... alas..." The princess couldn't help sighing again.

Mother Zheng said: "But, even if the lord doesn't admit it, it's obvious to all that the second young master is smarter and more handsome than the eldest young master."

The concubine couldn't help becoming serious: "You are beating around the bush, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Mother Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "Over the years, the palace has sold a few acres of land today, and a few acres of land tomorrow. The family is getting more and more difficult every day. You didn't ask, where did the money go?"

The concubine's face changed greatly: "Didn't you hear something?"

Madam Zheng said, "I heard, I heard..."

The princess said sharply, "What's the matter?"

Mother Zheng said: "The eldest son is going to be engaged to the eldest daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites recently, and it is said that it will be made after the new year."

The princess felt relieved: "My lord told me about this, and it's not a day or two..."

She suddenly understood: "Could it be that the prince promised them something?"

Mother Zheng sighed and said, "I heard that the prince promised them a dowry gift of [-] silver."

The princess was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and passed out.

Lin Jiangcheng was changing clothes.Suddenly someone ran in to report that the princess had fainted, and she was sending someone to invite the doctor.

Lin Jiangcheng didn't dare to neglect, and hurried all the way to Yangyuantang.

Madam Zheng was weeping beside the princess' bed.Lin Jiangcheng asked: "What's the matter? Why did you faint so well? Where is my father? Did you send someone to tell my father?"

Mother Zheng said: "It's not because of the troubles at home. The prince just sent someone here, saying that he has already taken the letter from the prince to invite the imperial doctor."

Lin Jiangcheng walked to the bedside, and saw that the princess's eyes were tightly closed, her face was sallow, her breathing was weak, and she looked terminally ill.

Mother Zheng cried: "Princess, wake up, the Second Young Master is here to see you. If something happens to you, what do you want the Second Young Master to do? Wang Fei..."

The concubine's eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't open them. She was in pain, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Lin Jiangcheng also cried when he saw her like this: "Mother, the imperial doctor will be here soon, you have to hold on."

The concubine's illness lasted for more than ten days.Yongle Palace didn't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner.Lin Jiangcheng stood by the concubine's sick bed every day, taking care of her wholeheartedly.

Here, Dingbeihou's Mansion did not have New Year's Eve dinner either.Zhuang Yuyan lived in seclusion every day, except to greet Mrs. Zhuang every day, she never took a step, and even ate meals in her own room.

Mrs. Zhuang and Zhuang Yuzhi were so happy not to see her, they just pretended that she didn't exist.
