Her true identity was that of the real daughter of the Jiang residence, who had been swapped at birth. Everyone said her good fortune had finally arrived; she had a powerful and influential father,...
Chapter 94 Someone come quickly, the master is dying!
Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath, and the smell of medicine seeped into her nostrils through the veil, and she finally came out of her memories.
She had memorized everything her master had taught her, and with her experience in the northern border, she was sure she could cure these people.
"Next."
When she spoke again, her voice had returned to its usual gentle tone.
An old woman with a hunched back walked in tremblingly. Before she sat down, she started coughing violently and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Jiang Qingyue's skirt.
"Don't be afraid, mother-in-law. Let me take your pulse."
Jiang Qingyue supported the old man, not minding at all that the blood had stained her clothes.
The old woman was so grateful that she almost worshipped her as a bodhisattva.
Chu Hean rushed back to the palace and asked the guards, only to find out that Guo Jingyu had been called back by the Guo family.
That's perfect. He was too lazy to coax Guo Jingyu, the clingy girl.
Chu Hean swept away his previous gloomy mood, turned around and got on his horse again, and went to the largest brothel in Yanjing City to have some fun.
As it grew dark, Jiang Qingyue had already treated nearly a hundred people.
Her back was stiff from sitting for so long, and her fingers were trembling slightly from constantly taking pulses. Worse still, she noticed an itchy throat and felt like coughing.
She used the wash basin beside her as a mirror to look at herself, only to find that her eyes were bloodshot and her cheekbones were unnaturally flushed.
Suddenly, her heart sank.
If it were anyone else, they would have been infected long ago. Fortunately, she was not only a doctor, but also a medicine man, so she was not so easily infected by the plague.
But if the time is too long, I am afraid that evil spirits will enter the body.
By then, I’m afraid it will be hard to say.
Jiang Qingyue forced herself to stay awake, wrote down a list of medicinal herbs, and handed it to Chu Hean's men.
"Your Highness needs to prepare these herbs as soon as possible. This is an urgent matter and there is no time to waste."
The guard just glanced at him indifferently and left.
Jiang Qingyue took two steps after him anxiously: "The herbs I brought are not enough to last for two days. These herbs must be prepared within three days."
"You just need to see the doctor. The prince will make the final decision on other matters."
The guard said this indifferently and walked away with a swagger.
Jiang Qingyue's heart sank.
These people don't care about the lives of the people at all.
But if there are no medicinal herbs, it will be too late when the plague spreads.
Yuxiao was interrogated for a long time when entering the city, and was finally allowed to pass.
She first handed the letter to Shopkeeper Sun. Before she left, Shopkeeper Sun reminded her:
"I heard that starting tomorrow, the inspections by the city gate guards will become increasingly strict. It will be difficult for the Third Miss to return to the city then."
Yu Xiao's brows darkened, "I understand."
She rushed to the Jiang family and went to look for Jiang Shouye without wasting a moment.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shouye had an appointment with the Minister of War, Lord Li, today. He went there directly after the court session and has not returned yet.
Jiang Guiyu was also invited by Li Yuting to a small gathering at her house.
Que'er knew that Yuxiao was back, and kept pestering her to ask about what was happening outside the city, but Yuxiao had something hidden in her heart and didn't dare to tell her much.
It was Que'er who advised her, "If the situation is really that urgent and you can't make a decision, you can always go to the eldest lady. There are some matters in our Jiang Mansion that even the master and his wife have to consult the eldest lady for decisions."
Miss?
Duanyang County Princess Jiang Wanyin?
Yuxiao agreed, but in her heart she still wanted to wait for Jiang Shouye to come back.
After all, the Third Miss's instructions were to give the letter to him.
If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid this letter will have to be given to Jiang Wanyin.
Yuxiao was extremely anxious. She was anxiously waiting for Jiang Shouye, while at the same time she was worried about Jiang Qingyue outside the city.
After finally hearing that Jiang Shouye had returned, Yuxiao rushed over.
Jiang Shouye was drunk and unconscious, and had to rely on Jiang Guiyu and the servant beside him to support him.
Unexpectedly, before she could get close to Jiang Shouye, Jiang Guiyu stood in front of her.
"Aren't you the maid that Sister Qingyue just promoted? Why are you back?"
Before Yuxiao could speak, Jiang Guiyu exclaimed again.
"Could it be that Sister Qingyue disobeyed Concubine Wan and secretly ran back? This is a capital crime punishable by death!"
The drunk Jiang Shouye's eyes suddenly widened in anger.
"What? You sneaked back?"
He actually mistook Yuxiao for Jiang Qingyue and raised his hand to hit her.
Jiang Guiyu winked at the servant, and the two men let go of each other. Suddenly, Jiang Shouye pounced on them with his arms raised high.
Yu Xiao sneered and took a light step. Not only did Jiang Shouye's slap miss, but his entire body flew out.
"father!"
"master!"
Jiang Guiyu and the servant hurriedly helped Jiang Shouye up. They didn't know where he had hit himself, but his face was covered in blood.
"Blood!"
Jiang Guiyu was so scared that he let go. The servant alone could not pull up the unconscious Jiang Shouye, and Jiang Shouye's forehead hit the ground heavily.
The servant supported Jiang Shouye while shouting, "Hurry up, someone, the master is dying!"
Yuxiao looked at these people coldly and silently put away the letter.
Seeing Jiang Shouye's condition, there was no need to take out the letter.
But the situation outside the city was urgent, and Yuxiao didn't dare to delay.
If the prince were still alive, Yuxiao would definitely hand this letter to him.
But Xie Lingyun was out of town on business and couldn't come back for a while.
Yuxiao thought about it and felt that the only person who could give advice at the moment was probably the eldest daughter, Jiang Wanyin.
She was about to rush to Liuxiang Pavilion but was stopped by Jiang Guiyu.
"Stop! You may belong to Sister Qingyue, but you hurt my father and committed insubordination. And you want to just walk away?"
Jiang Guiyu shouted sternly: "Come here, take her down!"
Yuxiao is not a little girl like Que'er who would panic at the slightest scare. She has also seen the world with Xie Lingyun.
Jiang Guiyu's frame-up couldn't scare her at all.
"Second Miss. Just now, you let go of that boy, and the master fell and got injured. It was also because you deliberately threw the master a second time that he kowtowed."
Yu Xiao glanced coldly at the other servants present, "So many people here have seen it, but this servant has not even touched a corner of the master's clothes."
"Second Miss, it was you who hurt the master."
The servants all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Jiang Guiyu's heart skipped a beat.
Her gaze was cold and sharp, not at all like that of an ordinary maid.
"Does the Second Miss have anything else to say?"
Jiang Guiyu opened his mouth, but suddenly started coughing and had no time to care about Yuxiao.
When she stopped coughing and looked up, she found that Yuxiao had already left.
When Yuxiao rushed to Liuxiang Pavilion, Jiang Wanyin had just gone to bed. When she heard that it was a letter sent by Jiang Qingyue, Mother Xu woke Jiang Wanyin up again.
"Miss, the Third Miss asked Yuxiao to deliver a letter. She seems a little anxious."
Jiang Wanyin was helped to sit up by Mother Xu.
"Yuxiao? Is she the maid that the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion gave to Qingyue?"
Before Mother Xu could say anything, Jiang Wanyin pointed outside and said, "Quick, call her in."
