Chapter 112 Treating the Old Princess
Today, the old lady met the family of her youngest son Xu Qinghe. She felt very satisfied and in much better spirits. She talked to the three of them for a long time until she became tired and began to blink constantly. Then Xu Qinghe helped her lie down.
"Princess, please go outside and discuss in detail."
After taking the old lady's pulse and observing her, Cui had a rough idea of her condition. It was just as Yuxiu had overheard, the old lady was just worrying too much and was depressed.
As for why she was so seriously ill, it was because someone deliberately replaced the medicine she drank, making the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors become deadly.
However, in order not to alert the enemy, Cui and Yuxiu have already discussed not to reveal the matter for the time being. Anyway, the most important thing now is to cure the old lady's illness. As for other things, it will not be too late to settle them slowly later.
"Madam Cui, please come this way."
Princess Ning knew what Cui meant, and quickly led everyone out of the house. She walked a few steps to the side and arrived at the flower hall of Manfu Hall.
"Madam Cui, I wonder how my mother-in-law is doing?"
The second wife was a little anxious. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to ask about the results of Cui's pulse diagnosis.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, please be patient. Let Madam Cui drink some hot tea to moisten her throat first, and then we can talk slowly."
Princess Ning hurriedly stopped the Second Madam and, smiling, invited Cui and Yuxiu to have tea. As for Xu Qinghe, he stayed outside the flower hall and was waited for by the old housekeeper.
"It's not very serious. Fortunately, we came here in time and everything is still under control."
Cui did not touch the teacup on the table. There were so many twists and turns in these wealthy families. Although she could tell whether there was a problem or not, she was too lazy to think about it.
"If both of you have no objection, I will write a prescription for the old lady. You can take it to the clinic to get some herbs. Combined with herbal baths and acupuncture, the old lady will be able to recover to her former health in three days at most."
Neither Princess Ning nor the Second Lady expected things to go so smoothly. They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
"Thank you, Madam Cui. Please take more care..."
"We have no objection. Madam Cui, please make sure my mother-in-law wakes up quickly..."
Princess Ning is fine. She is a princess and a clan member, so she is naturally much better at managing her emotions. Second Madam Xie is different. Although she is usually harsh with her words, she actually has the softest heart.
Before the second master Xu Jinyi went to the border, he told her to take good care of her mother-in-law at home. However, she didn't expect that her mother-in-law fell seriously ill just after her husband left. If the old lady died like this, how would she explain to her husband when he came back?
So even though she usually looks carefree, when she heard Cui say it was not a big problem, she started wiping away tears on the spot, which made the usually calm Princess Ning burst into tears.
It is said that an old man in the family is like a treasure, and this is very appropriate when applied to Prince Ning's Mansion.
You should know that there are three kings of different surnames in the capital now, namely Ning Wang Xu family, An Wang Wei family, and Cheng Wang Pan family.
These families were all loyal ministers who had made great contributions to Emperor Taizu in establishing his empire. Although they were all princes of different surnames, the open and secret struggles had never stopped over the years.
The old lady is alive and well. If we meet her in the future, the people from Prince Ning’s Mansion will be inferior to her for no reason.
Of course, the most important thing is that the two of them have been married into Prince Ning's Mansion for so many years, and the old lady has treated them very well, not to mention loving them like her own daughters.
She is not like other mothers-in-law who bully their daughters-in-law. She doesn't set rules or anything like that. Instead, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along quite well.
Seeing that both of them were expressing their true feelings, Yuxiu and Cui looked at each other and felt much better about them.
It seems that the Ning Wang Mansion is not full of people like Xu Jinran and Qin. As the saying goes, people of the same family stick together. The fact that those two can get together is like a perfect match. It's simply a match made in heaven.
Princess Ning then quickly had someone bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Cui wrote two prescriptions in a row, one for medicinal bathing and the other for normal consumption.
While the housekeeper took people to get the medicine, Cui decided to give the old lady an acupuncture first. After she took a medicinal bath, she would make adjustments based on the situation.
The managing nanny of Manfu Hall was called Nanny Lin. Upon hearing Cui say that a medicinal bath was to be arranged, she immediately directed the maids and servants in the yard to get busy. Some boiled water, some boiled medicine, and the originally quiet small yard soon became lively.
Cui is now a disciple of the Divine Doctor's Sect. When she needs to give acupuncture to people, naturally no outsiders can be present. So Princess Ning and the Second Lady and their entourage had to wait in the flower hall. Apart from the unconscious old princess, there were only Cui and Yuxiu in the room.
As for the old princess's current condition, she had no choice but to detoxify herself first and then slowly recuperate. These were not difficult tasks for Cui, not to mention that she now had the assistance of Yuxiu's spiritual spring water, which gave her a little more confidence.
Yuxiu helped to take off the old princess's clothes, while Cui carefully disinfected the silver needles and then inserted them into the old princess's body one by one. Soon, a large area was covered with needles.
At this time, there was a commotion outside. It should be Xu Jinran who came over, but was stopped by Princess Ning, who forbade him to cause trouble here.
At this time, what was said about the elder sister-in-law being like a mother was no joke. Since Princess Ning had spoken, even if Xu Jinran was reluctant, he could only glare at Xu Qinghe fiercely and sat back on the chair.
He would wait here today and see whether those so-called miracle doctors' disciples could cure the old lady's illness.
Since Xu Jinran dared to be so sure, he must be aware of the old princess' illness. Even if the method he and Qin came up with was a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect or even if the immortal master himself came, he would not be able to cure the old princess' illness.
He looked at Xu Qinghe who was standing upright in the yard, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.
I didn't expect this bastard to be so capable. The old man was just confused for a moment and recognized him as his own son. He turned around and brought his wife and children to his house. Did he think that in this way, he could replace him, the third master of the Xu family?
It's a nice thought, but unfortunately there is no such good thing in the world, and even if there is, it will not fall on the head of a peasant like him.
Cui and Yuxiu in the room had no idea about Xu Jinran's messy thoughts. When they heard Nanny Lin say that the ingredients for the medicinal bath were ready, Cui went over to check. Seeing that there was no problem with the medicinal soup, she sent someone away first.
Yuxiu went over and quietly added some spiritual spring water into the bathtub, then she personally picked up the old princess and slowly put her into the bath.
