In the darkness, the shadows of a few yellow lanterns were sparse, accompanied by light and darkness.
Yu Youyao’s figure disappeared into the rain. On the limestone path, there was a sound of wheels. Chang An pushed Zhou Linghuai out of the dark.
Yin San recounted everything that had happened in the Tranquil Heart Residence.
In the darkness, Zhou Linghuai was leaning against the wheelchair, his elbows on the armrests. He supported his forehead with his hand and said in a deep voice, “Have you done everything?”
Yin San said, “Eldest Miss Yu used very little thorn apple Fragrance. After inhaling it, it will be expelled from the human body in about an hour. There’s no problem with the sandalwood incense used for praying to Buddha.”
Even so, no one knew.
This little girl had some tricks up her sleeve.
Madam Yang’s evil deeds were not enough to kill her. Ruining her reputation was indeed the best punishment for her.
But!
This was only relative to the little girl.
Zhou Linghuai sat up straight and untied the incense bead bracelet around his wrist. He wrapped it around his wrist again and again. “There seems to be a medicine to clear the liver in Yang Shuwan’s medicine for her headaches?”
Yin San said, “The last time Doctor Ding diagnosed Yang Shuwan, the result was that not only was her gastric was too intense, causing her blood to stagnate. She also had liver circulation problems.”
The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s mouth twitched slightly. “Change that medicine to Chinese violet.”
Chinese violet would clear her liver and her vision and affect Yang Shuwan’s head disease.
Using it for a long time with another spice in sandalwood can cause bad temper and mental disorder.
Yin San said in a low voice, “Yes!”
Zhou Linghuai rubbed the incense bead in his hand and suddenly thought of the little girl pouting and saying, “Cousin, I’m very petty. I can only pretend to like someone I care about. If anyone dares to bully me, I’ll definitely take revenge for the people I care about.”
He chuckled. “What a coincidence. I’m also very narrow-minded.”
Yu Youyao brought Chun Xiao to the courtyard. Yu Zongzheng also brought Imperial Physician Hu to the courtyard.
After Yu Youyao stepped forward and bowed, she said, “Grandmother is old and her health is poor. Mother also has a headache and needs to recuperate. Now, I am in charge of the household. If there’s anything wrong, I hope Imperial Physician Hu can understand. Please treat my third sister carefully.”
Imperial Physician Hu nodded. “Eldest Miss, you’re too polite. I’ll naturally do my best.”
Yu Youyao led Imperial Physician Hu into the inner room.
Behind the sky-green curtain, Yu Jianjia’s hair was disheveled, and her face was ashen as she leaned against the pillow. Even the faint pink color on her lips had completely faded.
Hui Xiang whispered, “Young Miss, Imperial Physician Hu is here.”
Yu Jianjia struggled to sit up straight and said hoarsely, “It’s raining today, so it’s not easy to walk outside. I’ll have to trouble Imperial Physician Hu to specially come and treat me. Please forgive Jia Jia for making things inconvenient and being unable to get up to greet you. If I’ve neglected you, please forgive me.”
Although it wasn’t time for etiquette, she was extremely polite.
Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly said, “Third Miss, you’re too polite. Let me take your pulse.”
Yu Jianjia leaned back against the pillow and stretched out her wrist. However, she couldn’t help but look over. Yu Youyao, who was standing beside Imperial Physician Hu, felt her heart skip a beat again. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and cough lightly.
She suddenly had a bad feeling. Why was Yu Youyao here?
Imperial Physician Hu took Yu Jianjia’s pulse. As he had taken her pulse once before, he knew what was going on. In just a moment, he understood Yu Jianjia’s illness.
Imperial Physician Hu removed his hand and said, “The medicine I prescribed previously has been stopped. I’ll prescribe a new prescription for Third Miss. Third Miss’s illness needs to be recuperated.”
Yu Jianjia’s face turned pale. The prescription that Imperial Physician Hu had prescribed had always been very effective.
During this period of time, she had been acting up again. It wasn’t that Imperial Physician Hu’s medicine wasn’t effective, but that her condition had worsened.
Yu Youyao gently lifted the sky-green curtain and tucked Yu Jianjia in. “Third Sister, rest well. I’ll accompany Imperial Physician Hu outside to get a prescription for you first. Father is also outside.”
Yu Jianjia clenched her fists and said gently, “Thank you, Big Sister.”
When they reached the outer room, Yu Youyao instructed the servants to serve tea.
After Imperial Physician Hu drank his tea, he said, “The medicine I prescribed previously was a good prescription for strengthening the foundation and nurturing the essence. It should be effective. Third Miss’s illness shouldn’t be so serious in such a short period of time.” He pondered for a long time before asking, “Has Third Miss been having relapses recently?”
Yu Youyao looked at Hui Xiang.
Yu Zongzheng’s expression darkened as he stared at Hui Xiang. “You’re Third Miss’s personal maidservant. Tell me the truth about Third Miss’s health.”
Hui Xiang did not dare to hide anything anymore and quickly knelt on the ground. “Master, Third Miss’s illness has indeed acted up a few times recently. However, the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Hu is good. Every time she falls ill, she can recover after taking the medicine, so…”
Yu Zongzheng was furious and slammed the table.
Hui Xiang trembled in fear.
Yu Youyao quickly said, “Father, please calm down. Third Sister’s condition is more important.”
Yu Zongzheng’s anger subsided a little, and he quickly looked at Imperial Physician Hu. “What’s going on with my daughter’s condition?”
Imperial Physician Hu sighed slightly. “Third Miss’s illness is caused by a congenital deficiency. Her Qi and blood are weak, so her body has been weak and difficult to treat. However, as long as she uses the right prescription, strengthens her foundation and nourishes her mind, she can recover.”
At this point, he shook his head. “Previously, I’ve said that Third Miss’s illness is the most taxing on the mind. It’s not good to think too much. She has to relax often, nourish her blood, and calm her mind. Only then she can recover from this illness. Unfortunately,” he shook his head and sighed, “it’s obvious that your residence didn’t listen to me.”
In just two months, Third Miss Yu’s illness had worsened a lot. There was not much left of her foundation. In the end, there would be difficulties in having children. If she did not recuperate well, her life would be in danger.
Yu Zongzheng also understood.
Hui Xiang had said that Imperial Physician Hu’s prescription was good and effective. In that case, his third daughter’s condition had worsened, so she definitely had not recuperated well.
Imperial Physician Hu said, “Third Miss is feeling depressed after taking her pulse today. I’m afraid she’s been feeling depressed recently and it’s difficult to relieve it. It’s very disadvantageous for her recovery.”
Yu Zongzheng’s face darkened.
She also remembered that ever since Madam Yang had returned to managing the household, there had been endless messy matters at home. Jia Jia was meticulous, considerate, and filial, so she had to worry for her mother.
It was probably because of this that she couldn’t recuperate well.
As a result, he became even more angry with Yang Shuwan.
Yu Youyao quickly asked, “I wonder if my third sister’s illness can be cured?”
Imperial Physician Hu pondered for a long time before saying, “I’ll prescribe a few more sets of medicine for Third Miss and increase the dosage a little. Take it first!”
