Chapter 213: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
### Chapter 213: Prince Qi Has Finally Returned
Concubine Meng came over because she couldn't sleep.
After listening to her son’s persuasion, she shook her head. “I can’t sleep, even after drinking more than half a bowl of calming soup. It doesn’t work.”
Knowing that his mother was troubled, Feng Xuancang didn’t insist further.
Suisui’s condition was temporarily stable.
To ensure her sons didn't go hungry, Concubine Meng arranged for the kitchen to prepare lunch so they could have something to eat first.
Feng Xuanrui only went to eat because Feng Xuancang urged him; otherwise, the young boy would have just stayed by the bed, worried that Suisui might succumb to her high fever.
Although Feng Xuanrui was young, he had heard many things.
Even in wealthy households, there were plenty of children who had died from high fevers.
Sometimes, it wasn’t even a matter of medical skill.
Couldn’t these families find good physicians? That was impossible.
More often than not, it was a matter of understanding medical practices.
Furthermore, the considerations for medication were many; after all, if children were given strong medicines, they might not survive.
Thus, the tragic outcomes often resulted.
After lunch, Feng Xuanrui hurried back, resuming his position by the bed, anxiously watching Suisui.
At this time, Suisui’s fever had subsided, but her little face was still a bit flushed.

She was already asleep.
Physician Liu said that sleep was a good way to regain strength.
If she didn’t have a recurrence in the afternoon, she should be fine.
If she was watched over well tonight and didn’t have a fever, she would soon be bouncing around again after a few days of care.
Feng Xuanrui was uneasy and wanted to stay by her side.
However, sometimes, a child’s body couldn’t handle being up for long.
So, before long, Feng Xuanrui fell asleep while resting his head on the edge of the bed.
Physician Liu watched them, letting out a helpless sigh.
He had asked Concubine Ren for her thoughts and, knowing she didn’t mind, he helped Feng Xuanrui onto the bed to sleep next to Suisui.
This way, the children would feel a bit more comfortable.
In his sleep, Feng Xuanrui instinctively grasped Suisui's hand and held it gently. Physician Liu tried to separate them.
But after separating, Feng Xuanrui would instinctively reach for her again.
Feng Xuanbin was asleep at the corner of the bed, but there wasn’t much space left.
Since there was a sick Suisui who needed watching, adding more children would make the bed too cramped.
So, Physician Liu asked Concubine Zhou to take the other children back to her room to sleep for now.
The other young masters were uneasy but knew Suisui’s fever had receded and she was now asleep, so they thought about it and returned to their own rooms to rest.
Feng Xuancang was worried about his mother, so he didn’t leave and stayed to talk with her.
Concubine Meng had initially not felt sleepy.
However, after eating some food at noon and considering that the calming soup might have taken effect, along with her son’s presence soothing her feelings, she soon felt drowsy.
Feng Xuancang helped her lie down, and it wasn’t long before she fell asleep.
Watching his mother doze off with her brow still slightly furrowed, Feng Xuancang felt uneasy and stayed, sitting by her bedside.
With nothing to do, he wasn’t keen on reading, so he took out a chessboard to play with.
Unfortunately, his skills weren’t great, and he became frustrated even playing against himself.
Finally, Feng Xuancang impatiently pushed the chessboard aside and asked the servant Qing Ai to fetch his carving tools.
He planned to use this time to carve a peach blossom for his mother and a little rabbit for Suisui.
Suisui woke up for a bit in the afternoon.
She felt a bit thirsty and struggled to ask for water.
Upon hearing this, Di Jiao quickly prepared warm water, propping the little girl up gently to help her drink.
After the girl took a few sips, she began to clutch her stomach again. Di Jiao looked over at Aunt Xiang.
Aunt Xiang immediately understood and took the child to the clean room. After addressing her physiological needs, she brought her back.
Once Suisui returned, she sat dazed for a moment. Seeing her brother sleeping nearby, she obediently snuggled up to him and soon fell asleep again.
Aunt Xiang was still worried, but Physician Liu waved his hand dismissively. “At this time, children need to sleep a lot to recover faster. As long as she doesn’t have a fever, she’ll be fine.”
After hearing this, Aunt Xiang felt somewhat reassured.
As evening approached, Prince Qi and Qi Wangfei finally returned.
Upon hearing that the two had come back, Concubine Ren hurriedly lifted her skirts and ran outside.
She thought to herself, **You finally returned!** If they hadn’t come back soon, her heart might burn alongside Suisui’s fever!
Feng Xuanbo saw his mother rushing out and followed closely behind, afraid his mother’s impatience might cause her to suffer.
As the mother and son arrived in the front courtyard, they were startled by the commotion surrounding Prince Qi’s return.
Prince Qi had returned with officials from the Ministry of Justice Prison.
The Che family’s plot against the royal family could not be taken lightly.
Although this involved Prince Qi’s privacy, those who needed to be dealt with would definitely be dealt with.
However, the whole process needed to remain low-key.
When the time came, the relevant testimonies would need the Ministry of Justice Prison officials to write carefully and help cover things up.
Of course, these were issues for the future.
At present...
Prince Qi was seething with rage, wishing he could kill that group of people!
So when he returned, he wore a cold expression, initially intending to head to the eastern courtyard.
However, as soon as he entered the estate, Concubine Che, having heard the news, came rushing at him, crying like a rain-soaked pear flower.
As she approached, Prince Qi gestured to the Ministry of Justice officials to take her away immediately.
Concubine Che was instantly dumbfounded, her expression one of disbelief. She struggled, trying to throw herself at Prince Qi. “Your Highness, it’s me, Xin'er, your most beloved Xin'er! While you were away today, I was bullied terribly, woo-woo!”
Prince Qi’s face darkened as he thought, **You damn fool, even your liver wouldn’t suffice!**
You harmed me this way, and yet you still want to escape?
But then he recalled what his imperial brother had analyzed—that Concubine Che might also be a discarded pawn of the Che family.
Prince Qi thought it would be good for her to realize the truth.
As he contemplated this, Prince Qi sneered coldly and lowered his voice, leaning closer to Concubine Che. “Do you know that your maid, Qiao Zhi, was arranged by your brother? Do you know that the chicken soup she regularly makes for you contains safflower and peach kernels? Prolonged consumption means you won’t just struggle to have daughters—you won’t even be able to bear children!”
“Do you also know that the plaster you applied to me contained a toxic dose of lei gong teng and strychnine? These poisons are highly toxic, and if not handled properly, they could shorten my lifespan!”
“Did you know that the fragrance sachet you gave me also contained those same two poisons?”
At the end, Prince Qi elongated his tone, “Ah... right, you’re wearing one yourself. Most likely, you didn’t even know, so your dear brother and sister-in-law really care for you!”
Upon hearing these words, Concubine Che was completely stunned.
She wasn’t stupid; there was no way she didn’t understand the implications behind those words.
However, she was unwilling to believe it.
After all, he was her own brother!
