Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 10
Physician Fang arrived very quickly, stooped with the medicine box on his back, and walked into the gate of the courtyard almost without leaving the ground.

Li Taiwei hadn't left the cabinet yet, so she had to leave the inner room together with Li Yao, and guarded in Baoxia with a screen of silk gauze.

She was a little out of strength, leaning half on Dafu's body, her whole body was still trembling.

Seeing that her expression was extremely bad, Li Yao pursed her lips, and comforted her softly at the side:

"Third sister, don't worry. My aunt is always in good health. Usually, she rarely catches a cold. Maybe it's because today's troubles happened that she was surprised."

"Since the imperial physician has arrived, Third Sister can rest assured, you might as well sit down and rest, and then go to see your aunt after the imperial physician has checked the pulse."

Mrs. Li looked at her with a pale face and nodded gratefully.

This fourth younger sister never talked much, but it was rare to talk so much with her.

Nian Xia felt a little uneasy, stood by Li Taiwei's side, hesitated again and again, and said:

"Madam has not been feeling refreshed these past few days, and her appetite is not very good. Today, she almost fainted when she heard that something happened to the girl. Fortunately, Mother Jin comforted her, and then she recovered..."

These words fell into Li Taiwei's ears, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"What did you say?"

Li Taiwei widened her eyes,
"When did mother get sick? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Nian Xia said:
"In the past few days, my body...is not very clean..."

The girls hadn't left the court yet, and Li Taiwei was too young to come to Kuishui, Nian Xia had some difficult words to say, so he only said something vaguely, and said:

"Physician Fang just came to ask for the Ping'an pulse a few days ago. He only said that Madam is weak and cold, and prescribed some nourishing prescriptions, and asked Madam to take it for a few days."

Li Taiwei was stunned.

She remembered that in her previous life, her mother, Zhao He, suddenly fell ill when she ran into her father and Xue Suqin.The illness lasted for several months, before Xue Suqin was brought in, her mother moved to the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate, and then died of the plague.

Li Taiwei calculated carefully in his mind, when the incident happened, it was about the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still some days before now.

But why is my mother falling ill now?

Could it be that she was ill early in the morning, but it has not been found out yet?
Li Yao saw that Li Taiwei's complexion turned pale again, and she was about to speak a few more words of persuasion, when she heard footsteps outside, Doctor Fang came out of the yard, and turned around to explain a few more words.

Li Taiwei was far away, so she couldn't hear clearly, and she came out of Baoxiali after the people left.

Li Sheng looked slightly relieved, and ordered someone to personally send Imperial Physician Fang back to his residence.On the other hand, the second uncle, Mrs. Bai, looked unhappy.

Li Taiwei hurriedly raised her skirt to meet her.

"Father, what did the imperial physician say?"

Li Sheng saw that her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so he knew that she had just been frightened, so he comforted her in a slow voice:
"Don't be afraid, Aluan, your mother is fine, but her body is a bit weak and cold. She woke up when the imperial doctor took her pulse, and now she just fell asleep after taking the medicine."

"You go back early to rest, and it won't be too late to see your mother tomorrow morning."

As a man, it is not easy for him to explain this woman's disease in detail, so he only explained a few words.

Bai stepped forward, holding Li Yao in one hand and Li Taiwei in the other, with a smile on his face, and said softly:

"Good boy, did you scare you today?"

"Ma'am is fine right now, the imperial doctor told me to rest for a while, you go back to your room earlier, don't make trouble here, tell Madam to sleep well."

Li Taiwei's eyes passed over Bai's shoulders, and fell on the slightly swaying pearl and jade curtain in front of the inner room, nodded, and then returned to the room in response.

There was a wind at night, and the drooping sycamore branches in front of the window rustled on the eaves.

Li Taiwei slept for a long time in the afternoon, because Zhaohe fell ill suddenly, she also fell asleep at this time.

She lay on her side for quite a while, recalling the events of her previous life at this moment inside and out, but she still didn't understand why her mother suddenly fell ill.

Since she was born, her mother has been recuperating her body. It stands to reason that after more than ten years, her body should be almost recovered. How could she be so seriously ill?

Li Taiwei thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered a person!
Early the next morning, Li Taiwei called Nian Xia in, told her to take the pair of cards and go to the palace to find someone for her.

Nian Xia was stunned when she heard the words, and said in surprise:
"When did the princess get acquainted with this medical lady Rong? Madam is a precious woman, and she has always been consulted by the imperial physician Fang. Others...don't dare to trust her..."

Li Taiwei stirred the Xueyan in the bowl, raised his eyes and said slowly:
"Princess Changping told me about this medical girl before. She said that although she is a medical girl, she is good at medical skills, especially good at women's diseases. Imperial doctor Fang has superb medical skills, but she is a man after all. It's very difficult. With the nurse girl here, the mother will feel more at ease."

"You go to the palace to invite a medical lady. Don't say anything. If it gets to the ears of Imperial Physician Fang, I'm afraid you will think about it too much. If others ask, just say that I brought some things to Princess Changping from Xiliang. Son, I told you to run an errand. Don't show your face in the hospital, and pass the message to the princess, and she will arrange everything."

Nian Xia felt relieved after hearing what Li Taiwei said was reasonable.

Since she can win the favor of the princess, the medical skills of this medical girl must be unmistakable.

Nian Xia remembered Li Taiwei's entrustment one by one in her heart, and when the time came, she took the right card and left the house in a carriage.

Li Taiwei got up early today, so she first went to Hua'an Hall to pay her respects to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was very sad yesterday, she still didn't have much energy, she said a few words to Li Taiwei, and told her to go back to the yard to have a good rest.

Nanny Sun sent Li Taiwei to the corridor in person, then took her hand, put it in her ear, and asked a few words about Princess Zhaohe's body.

"The old lady was not in good spirits yesterday, she cried again in the night, and she has only been willing to eat half a bowl of rice porridge since today."

Grandma Sun's face was a little shocked,
"Madam's matter, the old slave decided to hide it first, lest the old lady be worried again..."

"Grandmother's body is important, so it's very appropriate for Mammy to arrange this."

Li Taiwei said:

"My mother is ill right now, and my grandmother must not make any mistakes. The imperial doctor also came to see yesterday, and said that there is nothing serious, and asked my mother to rest in peace for a few days. Maybe when the old lady recovers, my mother will recover. To save the old lady from worrying in vain."

"That's what the old slave meant! I thought of going with the princess!"

Grandma Sun smiled, patted Li Taiwei's hand, and praised:

"The princess has really grown up. The old lady praised the princess for being sensible yesterday. The old servant is very happy to see it."

Mrs. Li smiled slightly and said:
"Right now, Grandmother can count on Mammy to take care of her. If there is something missing in Hua'antang, Mammy can speak up, but she is not allowed to hide it."

Nanny Sun thanked her with a smile, praised Li Taiwei for being sensible, and personally sent Li Taiwei for a ride.

Li Taiwei went back to the Spring Garden and went to Yunshuiju without leaving the ground.
