Chapter 81

A lot of vegetables in the vegetable bed of King Jin's Mansion died overnight.

When Xiao Sesu heard the news, the room was already full of concubines.

I don't know if it's an insect disease or something, but the various vegetables that were fine last night are wilted and yellow this morning.The concubines rushed to water, but failed to save the lives of those vegetables.

At this moment, they were feeling bored, and they came to Xiao Sesel together, thinking that they had suffered a lot in order to grow vegetables in the wind and sun, and now that the vegetables were dead again, the more they thought about it, the more resentful they became.

"Sister Wangfei, the younger sisters have really taken good care of the vegetables."

Concubine Gong was born petite, and when she cried, she looked like a begonia weeping with dew, so pitiful.

"When this happened, the younger sisters didn't want to disturb the concubine, but the concubine Guo was ill, and the prince was with her all the time, so the younger sisters had to come to find the concubine, and beg the concubine not to blame the concubines."

"Yeah, yesterday's dish was fine, but today it's a large piece, it's really none of our business, Wangfei, you have to learn from it!"

A concubine asked in a low voice: "So many dishes died out of nowhere, could it be... an unlucky thing?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Someone quickly reprimanded her, "Maybe it's because a large swarm of locusts came last night."

"But there is no sign of the vegetable leaves being eaten by insects..."

The concubines were feeling uneasy, every word you said and what I said, and the faces that were covered with makeup all showed an unnatural paleness.

Luyi called the maidservant to serve them tea one by one. Xiao Sesue took the teacup and said, "Okay, stop arguing, the result of the matter is already like this, there is nothing much to say. You come to me, don't you just want me Don't blame you?"

"Princess..." The concubines chattered.

Xiao Sesel took a sip of tea and said, "I'll check the reason. Sister Guo is sick these days, and I'm not feeling well, so you should just take a rest."

Hearing the meaning of bleak, the concubines were unhappy.First let them grow vegetables in order to get the blessing of the prince, and now let them stay on their own, how long will this widow have to stay?
The concubine with a strong temper said: "We did what the princess asked us to do. This matter is clearly a natural disaster. Are we to be blamed for the natural disaster?"

"I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Xiao Sesu raised his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes made the concubine feel a chill in her heart.

Xiao Sesel said: "Forget it, I have seen your tiredness these days. You will have dinner with me at noon today, and I have the right to treat you as a reward."

The concubines complained in their hearts, could it be possible to offset the hardships they have suffered these days with a single meal?They exchanged glances with each other, and agreed to Xiao Sesu, but each of them harbored resentment in their hearts.

There are a total of twelve concubines who ate here at Xiao Sesel's place this time.

Xiao Sesu asked the guards to bring a large table and added chairs, so he could just sit down.

It was the first time that thirteen beauties dined at the same table.At first everyone was restrained, but later seeing Xiao Sesel's quiet beauty and gentleness, they gradually let go, and talked about things that were short-lived.

After the meal was full, the concubines also looked at the decorations in the bleak house, the screen, the clean bottle, the bed, the dressing table, and looked at them one by one.Seeing that Xiao Sesu looked a little tired, he guessed that he was going to rest, so he resigned knowingly.

After seeing off these beauties, Luyi took a long breath, "Huh—Miss, how can they be so troublesome! This is the first time Luyi has seen it."

Xiao Sesu felt tired all over, and somehow felt nauseous in his full stomach.Apart from taking a nap and resting, there was no other way, so he didn't answer Lu Yi's words.

In the evening, something bad happened.

The hourglass reminded Xiao Sesu that it was dinner time, but she was weak and felt dizzy even when she left the bed.

With Lu Yi's support, she managed to get off the ground with great difficulty, frowning bleakly, trying to make the gold star in front of her recede, but her stomach still felt uncomfortable, and she suddenly vomited.

"Ah? Miss, don't scare me!" Lu Yi hurriedly helped Xiao Sesu sit down, served her tea and water, and said, "Miss, drink tea first, and Lu Yi will call the medical girl over."

After saying that, she left in a hurry, Lu Yi thought that the bleakness might be due to the cold, so she rushed to the doctor's residence without stopping, but was told that the doctor had been at Guo Jiayi's place all day and never came back.

Luyi had no choice but to turn to Guo Jiayi's yard.

Guo Jiayi is like clean water, pure and uncontested. Her yard is also a relatively remote part of Prince Jin's mansion. From the outside to the inside, there is only a loquat plant and two clumps of plantains on the left, without any bright colors.

Two maidservants stood at the gate of the courtyard, stopping Lv Yi, who was out of breath.

"I'm sorry, Miss Luyi, the doctor girl is treating Concubine Guo, the prince is by Concubine Guo's side, and no one is allowed to disturb her."

Lvyi was taken aback for a moment, and poked her neck to look inside, but the door was tightly closed, and she couldn't see anything.Lu Yi said anxiously: "My lady is sick and can't eat, so I have to ask the doctor girl to come and see her!"

The maid said: "The princess has a bad appetite, why not eat some sour plums. Only medical women can diagnose and treat Guo's illness."

Lu Yi said displeasedly: "My lady is also sick, maybe the sour plum is useless at all, so why don't I ask the doctor to see and prescribe a prescription? My lady is the mistress of King Jin's Mansion."

"I'm sorry, it's really not possible. The prince has an order, and no one can disturb you."

"You——" Luyi rushed forward in a panic, shouting loudly, "My lord! My lady is sick and needs to see a doctor!"

"Girl Luyi, please don't make any noise." The expressions of the two maidservants changed, they stopped Luyi from left and right, and put her in the middle.

Luyi struggled and shouted: "My lord! How can you do this! The lady is really uncomfortable, don't you even ask? A couple for a night, a hundred days of kindness, you are so disrespectful!"

These words penetrated through the thin window paper on the wall of the house, like needles, each piercing into Yu Wangyan's heart.

He looked at Guo Jiayi on the couch, then at the nervous and sweaty medical girl, forced himself to be cruel, and said to Shan Zong: "Send Luyi back, and take a look at Sister by the way."

"Understood." Shan Zong glanced at Guo Jiayi meaningfully, and left quickly.

The appearance of Shanzong gave Luyi hope.

"Master Shanzong! Master Shanzong! Let me in!"

Naturally, what greeted her was disappointment, and Shanzong dragged Luyi away with only a little effort.Luyi's shout became more and more sharp and loud, every word was heard clearly by Yu Wangyan, every word was like a small knife, grinding his flesh and blood.

"My lord..." On the couch, Guo Jiayi pushed the mattress with her elbows, trying to sit up.

But just raised his body a little, and then slumped back in frustration, his face without makeup was white and bloodless, stained with thick sallow, and his temples were covered with cold sweat.

If there is a hand in her body digging out her internal organs, every time she breathes out, it will hurt, and if she takes a breath, the pain will be so severe that it can kill her.

The tense expression of the medical girl also collapsed, she picked up a towel to wipe Guo Jiayi's sweat, and sighed helplessly.

"I can't be saved, I know it myself." Guo Jiayi looked serene, "Thank you, lady doctor, for working hard all day."

The medical woman sighed: "I was born with a dead pulse, and I can't cure it with all my medical skills... Maybe it's because my medical skills are not good."

Guo Jiayi said: "This disease of my concubine's body is doomed from birth, and it cannot be cured by gods. Otherwise, why is it called 'born with a dead pulse'."

"Is there really no other way?" Yu Wangyan asked the doctor.

The medical woman shook her head, weeping and sighing.

Guo Jiayi said: "My lord doesn't know. I was born with a dead vein. In the early years, a genius doctor asserted that I would not live to be 20 years old. Now that there is only one year left, and the closer I am to death, my heart is calmer. In this last year, I hope that I will live up to the expectations of His Royal Highness Prince Jin and do something for the prince."

Yu Wang said comfortingly: "Your body is important, and this king also knows that you have to endure the pain, and Shanzong will go get some tonics tomorrow."

"Thank you, my lord." Guo Jiayi's eyes were grateful, but her smile was solemn, "My lord, my concubine is not feeling well today, I would like to invite my lord to visit her."

The smile on Yu Wangyan's lips gradually became bitter.

Why doesn't he feel sorry for Xiao Sesu?
He loves her dearly and misses her. When he heard Lu Yi's words, he could also hear the voice in his heart, shouting at the top of his lungs, asking him to take the nurse there and stay by her side.

However, he and Jiayi discussed going south to Huyang last night, and the conversation was too late, which made Jiayi's illness worse, and she almost died this morning.The medical girl is busy here all day long, and he has to sit here to ensure that no one will disturb her.

So, he failed Thurse, neglected her, and hurt her.

It was not what he wanted, but he had to do it!

The doctor girl didn't know Yu Wangyan's thoughts, but the doctor was benevolent, and it was his bounden duty to cure the disease and save the patient, so she offered to show Xiao Sesu to see.

Yu Wangyan called in the two maidservants outside and told them to take good care of Guo Jiayi, then he also left and went to the bleak courtyard with the medical girl.

At this time, dusk was approaching, and the sky was not completely dark yet, but the bleak room was pitch black.The maidservants were all outside the house, moving on tiptoe, as if they had fallen asleep.

Yu Wangyan thought that it would be good to let her rest, since she has already rested today, let the nurse come to see her tomorrow.

On the second day, Guo Jiayi's condition deteriorated seriously, and she vomited blood again and again, which made the servant girl who served her terrified.

The doctor girl was woken up early in the morning again, she didn't bother to straighten her clothes, and rushed over with the medicine box in her hands, in a state of desperation.

Yu Wangyan also took time off from court, frowned, and sat aside.

Xiao Sesu woke up when the sun was shining brightly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt extremely dizzy.I don't know how much effort it took to sit up, and it was even more difficult to get off the ground.Xiao Sesu retched twice, the whole person was in a trance, holding on to the utensils in the house, he walked crookedly to the door, and pushed the door open.

Perhaps the sun was too bright, and Xiao Sesu was dizzy again from the sun. Just as he was about to call Lvyi over, he saw Lvyi walking from the entrance of the yard, followed by a group of concubines who had come to the door early in the morning.

"Sister Wangfei is awake!" The concubines looked very anxious.

The leader, Concubine Gong, said: "Sister Wangfei, a lot of vegetables died today, what should I do to my sisters? Sister Wangfei, let's go to the vegetable patch to have a look."
