Chapter 214: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 214: I harmed you? Do you even deserve that?
Concubine Che shook her head frantically, “Impossible! That’s my brother, my own brother! Your Highness, this must be a mistake. Someone’s trying to harm me—who is it? Who?”
Concubine Che went mad, first accusing Qi Wangfei, then turning on Concubine Ren.
Qi Wangfei remained silent, considering that this person would soon be gone and responding would be a waste of time.
But Concubine Ren wasn’t one to tolerate nonsense.
So, when Concubine Che accused her, she coldly scoffed, “I harmed you? Do you even deserve that?”
These six words struck a fatal blow!
Concubine Che screamed and shouted in anger, but the officials from the Ministry of Justice still took her away.
Prince Qi, with a dark expression, casually reminded her, “Don’t worry. When you get to the Ministry of Justice’s prison, you can meet your brother and ask him yourself.”
Che Lingzhi had originally thought that when her uncle returned, he would stand up for her.
She never imagined this sudden twist of fate!
She was so shocked that she froze on the spot.
Even though she was cunning, she was still just a child.
Faced with such a scene, she was terrified, huddling in a corner, too scared to move.
Prince Qi didn’t notice her, while Qi Wangfei was more concerned about Suisui.

After being away from the residence for a day, she wondered how the child was doing.
Just as she was about to ask Concubine Ren, she heard her speak loudly, “There’s still one left in the corner. I also have something to say—today, that cunning little girl jumped into the water herself and dragged Suisui down with her. After getting ashore, she tried to frame Suisui, claiming Suisui had pushed her. Suisui’s now in the back courtyard with a fever.”
Upon hearing that Suisui had a fever, Qi Wangfei immediately disregarded everything else and hurried to the back courtyard.
Prince Qi was also stunned upon hearing this.
He knew Che Lingzhi wasn’t a good person.
Since he had been hoping Concubine Che would bear him a daughter, he had mostly turned a blind eye to this child’s presence in the residence.
But upon learning that this child had harmed Suisui, Prince Qi was displeased. He waved his hand, “Take her away as well. They’re all from the Che family—none will escape in the end.”
With that, the officials from the Ministry of Justice took action.
Che Lingzhi screamed and cried, even wetting herself in terror, “Uncle, save me! I didn’t do it! It was that vile girl Suisui who pushed me! Believe me, Uncle!”
Prince Qi didn’t want to hear any more; he was also worried about Suisui.
So, after sending Che Lingzhi away, he strode to the back courtyard.
Realizing he was moving too slowly, Prince Qi soon started running.
However, due to his slight weight problem, he panted heavily after a few steps.
Forced to stop, Prince Qi felt aggrieved, not attributing his struggle to his weight but blaming it on the Che family’s schemes!
He believed his body had been harmed by drugs, causing a decrease in energy and endurance.
It must be the case!
Damn the Che family!
How could he have been so blind before?
Prince Qi gritted his teeth in anger and then turned to his servant, Sui Si, “Punish the Che family harshly—don’t spare any of them!”
By the time he spoke, Prince Qi had already reached Concubine Ren’s residence in the back courtyard.
Concubine Zhou and others were also there, worriedly waiting.
Since waking, Concubine Meng had joined them as well.
The young masters of the residence had even skipped their afternoon physical training to keep vigil for Suisui.
Suisui had woken briefly but fell back asleep after taking her medicine.
Physician Liu had initially thought it was nothing serious.
But when Qi Wangfei checked on her, the child’s forehead was visibly heating up again.
With a grave expression, Physician Liu felt her pulse, adjusted the prescription, and re-administered acupuncture to Suisui.
The child, feeling uncomfortable from the fever, instinctively struggled as the needles were inserted, even if they didn’t cause pain but just a dull sensation.
Qi Wangfei felt her heart breaking!
Sitting by the bedside, she gently but firmly held Suisui down, tears falling as she reassured her, “Suisui, be good. Once the needles are in, you won’t feel so bad. Just hold on a little longer.”
Concubine Ren, watching from the side, also felt sour in her heart.
She wiped her own tears, then helped wipe Qi Wangfei’s.
Prince Qi anxiously paced beside them, finding he couldn’t squeeze in.
Qi Wangfei and the two concubines were already crowded around the bed.
Physician Liu, needing to monitor the situation closely, was also present.
A servant was busy cooling Suisui down, naturally taking up space as well.
With so many people, there simply wasn’t room for Prince Qi.
Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wen tactfully waited outside, listening for news.
Concubine Wen, who wasn’t in great health herself, had worn herself out over the day and couldn’t help but cough.
Watching her, Concubine Zhou advised softly, “You should go rest. We’re close by, just a few steps away. If anything happens, I’ll call you right over.”
Besides, nothing serious could really happen.
If something terrible did occur with the child...
Everyone in the residence would know; there would be no need for her to notify anyone.
If it was just something minor, as concubines, there wasn’t much they could help with.
Hearing this, Concubine Wen shook her head, “She’s a pitiful child. I’ll stay a little longer.”
She coughed again, unable to hold it back.
Feng Xuanjie, hearing the noise, momentarily ignored Suisui and silently came over, gently patting his mother’s back to ease her discomfort as much as possible.
That night, no one in the Qi Prince’s residence slept well.
Even the other concubines, though not particularly prominent, checked on Suisui multiple times.
Of course, those pretending to care were shooed away by Concubine Ren, who wore a dark expression.
Throughout the night, Suisui’s fever came and went, finally subsiding around dawn.
Physician Liu, after taking her pulse again, breathed a sigh of relief, “She should be fine now. Everyone can rest a bit. She’ll likely wake in about fifteen minutes; make sure she has some warm porridge then. Going all night without eating, she’ll likely be hungry and uncomfortable.”
Knowing the child was safe, Qi Wangfei wiped away her tears again.
Prince Qi finally felt relieved as well.
Concubine Ren and the others all exhaled in relief.
No one said they were leaving; everyone stayed close by.
The young masters, having taken short naps, were also now awake, waiting expectantly after washing up.
Young Feng Xuanrui and others, though too young to fully understand, simply wanted to watch over their sister.
The older ones, like Feng Xuancang, feared hearing bad news when they woke, so they tried not to fall asleep at all.
They thought if they stayed awake, maybe their sister would be safe?
Concubine Guo, who came from a merchant family, also visited several times, bringing precious herbs and various foods.
Physician Liu used the most crucial items first.
This morning’s porridge for Suisui included kudzu root powder from Concubine Guo.
The millet porridge, slowly simmered with kudzu root, could help reduce fever and replenish fluids.
Concubine Guo, pleased to see her contributions being used, felt gratified.
When she heard Suisui had woken up and eaten millet porridge, Concubine Guo was thrilled. She wanted to share the news with someone, but worried others might mind her merchant background. After some thought, she sighed softly and returned to her room quietly.
