Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Madam Yu’s sudden fainting really frightened everyone in the room.
After leaving the ssy house, the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence cald down a little and quickly instructed the maidservant in front of her, ‘Quickly go to the front courtyard and invite the imperial physician who ca to admire the flowers today. I rember that Imperial Physician Hu is also here. You…
Her voice suddenly stopped!
The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence suddenly rembered that the Third Prince had fallen into the water at the crepe myrtle garden. She felt dizzy again and was lucky to be supported by the maidservant in front of her to stabilize herself.
There was a wound on the princess consort’s head, and blood flowed down her cheek. The maidservant was very worried. “Princess Consort, the wound on your forehead…”
Only then did the Consort of Rong rember that she had been hit by Old Madam Yu’s teacup and bled. No wonder she kept feeling a headache and a little dizzy.
It would have been better if she hadn’t ntioned it, but at the ntion of her numb wound, she felt another sharp pain.
“Ah—” The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence imdiately pinched her handkerchief and covered her head tightly. However, she did not forget to instruct, “Send Imperial Physician Hu to see the Third Prince in the crepe myrtle garden…” As she gave the instructions, the Princess Consort of Duke
Rongs Residence had a terrible headache and could not help but curse softly, “Damn old woman, your grip is so strong. You even said that your health isn’t good and you fainted just like that. I’m afraid you’re pretending!’
However, at this mont, on one side, the Third Prince had fallen into the water. She did not know how he was doing.
On the other side, Old Madam Yu had fainted and was also in the dark.
No matter what happened, the Duke Rong’s Residence would be in trouble.
The situation was critical, so she had to invite the imperial physician over first. The Princess Consort of Duke Rongs Residence couldn’t care less about her head injury for the ti being and planned to return to the reception pavilion to take a look at Old Madam Yu’s condition.
However, she was still worried about the Third Prince. “Go and invite the imperial physician first. I’ll go to the crepe myrtle garden personally.”
The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence looked back at the reception pavilion, gritted her teeth, and left.
Of the two bad outcos, she chose the less harmful one.
How could Old Madam Yu’s life be more precious than the Third Prince’s?
If sothing happened to Old Madam Yu, there was still room for the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence to find a way out. If sothing happened to the Third Prince, the Duke Rong’s Residence would really be accused of “conspiring to murder the prince.”
There was still the old princess consort here, and the imperial physician had been invited over.
However, she did not know what was going on with the Third Prince. If she did not make a trip personally, how could she feel at ease?
In the reception pavilion, the old princess consort arranged for servants to lead all the Madams and Madams present to the Fangfei Courtyard. Other than
the people from the Yu Residence, only the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife and Eldest Madam Qi stayed behind to support them in the huge reception pavilion.
A few old maids moved a few partition doors over and surrounded Old Madam Yu, creating a small room.
The old princess consort had taken out all her secret dicine, as well as precious dicinal herbs like ginseng and lingzhi. Whether they were useful or not was secondary. She had to show her sincerity.
Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red as she pinched Old Madam Yu.
Old Madam Yu still showed no signs of waking up.
The atmosphere beca even more solemn.
Madam Yao’s eyes turned red as she forced herself to calm down. She sent soone to inform the old masters in the front courtyard, as well as Yu Shuangbai and Yu Jianjia, who were admiring the flowers in Fangfei Courtyard.
All the necessary arrangents had been made, but Matriarch had yet to wake up.
Madam Yao couldn’t help either. She could only stand at the side and watch anxiously.
The Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife and Eldest Madam Qi were also very worried. They sat on Madam Yao’s left and right and comforted her softly.
Yu Youyao lit a Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill and took off the heavy crown on her grandmother’s head. She loosened her bun and undid her imperial mandate dress.
She instructed Nanny Liu, “Grandmother has fainted. You and I will press on her left and right hands at the sa ti. Do you rember where the acupuncture points are?
Nanny Liu said calmly, “Eldest Miss has taught before. I rember!”
Her grandmother was old and often fainted in the past. After learning the acupuncture points from Nanny Xu, she had morized the five acupuncture points ergency thod and taught her grandmother’s servants to be safe.
Today, it ca in handy. Yu Youyao instructed Qing Xiu, “Go and press Grandmother’s acupuncture point.”
Qing Xiu imdiately agreed.
There were a total of four acupuncture points on her left and right hands. In addition, there was the Ren Zhong pressure point. One would press all the acupuncture points at the sa ti to save an unconscious patient.
Seeing that Yu Youyao was very calm and did not panic at all, the people in the room felt more or less stable.
At this mont, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door.
Outside, Madam Luo’s voice sounded. “The old princess consort and the royal prince have brought the imperial physician over. Eldest Master Yu and Second Master Yu are worried about Old Madam Yu, so they’re also here. They’re waiting outside the reception pavilion.”
They did not enter directly. They were probably worried that she would offend the won in the inner courtyard, so they asked Madam Luo to co over and report first.
The old princess consort’s heart relaxed, and her straight back collapsed. She said anxiously, “Quickly invite the imperial physician, Eldest Master Yu, and Second Master Yu in.”
All the won in the reception pavilion had gone to Fangfei Courtyard, and the backyard had been cleared. Eldest Master Yu and Second Master Yu were worried about Old Madam Yu, so it was understandable that they had followed the imperial physician over.
The group quickly entered the reception pavilion and arrived at the door.
Old Madam Yu lay on the ground, unconscious.
Yu Youyao knelt on the ground and helped Old Madam Yu massage her acupuncture points.
Yu Zongzhengs expression did not look good. He quickly turned around and invited Imperial Physician Hu in to treat Old Madam Yu.
The smile on Yu Zongshen’s face disappeared. In the past two years, his mother’s health had improved a lot, so she wouldn’t suddenly faint after attending a flower festival.
Duke Rong’s scalp went numb. He looked around the room but did not see the princess consort. His heart was beating like a drum. Clearly, he did not know that the Third Prince had fallen into the water.
When Madam Yao saw Master coming over, she imdiately wiped her tears and called out hoarsely, “Master!”
Yu Zongshen asked in a low voice, “How’s Mother’s condition?
Madam Yao’s eyes welled up with tears again. She said hoarsely, “Mother has already been unconscious for the ti it takes to burn an incense stick. There was no reaction when she was pinched. She used the Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill, and the effect wasn’t that fast. Yao Yao helped Mother perform first aid by pressing her acupuncture points…”
After Imperial Physician Hu entered the door, he was in no hurry to take Old Madam Yu’s pulse. Instead, he first checked the incense used, then observed Yu Youyao’s first aid.
After that, Imperial Physician Hu nodded. “The Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill is very thorough.” He walked up to Old Madam Yu and checked her eyelids. After confirming Old Madam Yu’s condition, he said, “Eldest Miss Yu, you can stop now. Let take her pulse.”
“Thank you, Imperial Physician Hu!” Yu Youyao quickly stood up and bowed to him. Her legs felt sore and numb, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
“Young Miss!” Chun Xiao quickly supported her young miss with a worried expression.
Only then did Yu Youyao realize that Chun Xiao was nearby. “I’m fine. I won’t disturb Imperial Physician Hu from taking Grandmother’s pulse.” The reception pavilion was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop..
