When Mother Han rushed to Tingyuxuan with a fox fur shawl in her hand, she saw Jiang Shuxiu fainted.
"Rui'er, help the young lady onto the couch. Laixi, quickly go get the old lady and the eldest young master. I'll go get the doctor right away!"
She put her things down and rushed to the gatehouse in a hurry. She asked the servant to harness a carriage and head to Qianjintang Clinic immediately.
"Hurry! Hurry up!" she kept urging along the way.
The driver gripped the reins tightly and the carriage sped away, but when they arrived at Qianjin Hall, they found the gate closed.
Mother Han was extremely anxious and kept knocking on the door. After a long while, the night watchman slowly removed a door panel and poked his head out, yawning.
"The boss is not here today. Please come back tomorrow if you want to see a doctor." He said lazily.
When Mother Han heard this, she became even more anxious. "We are from the Xingyuan Marquis' Mansion. My young mistress has had a miscarriage. Please think of a solution..."
When the waiter heard that it was someone from the Marquis' Mansion, his attitude became a little more serious, but he was also helpless, "The boss is not here, there is nothing I can do. Why don't you go ask someone else..." As he said that, he looked at Mother Han, and suddenly he made a "hiss" sound, as if he remembered something.
"Did you come to us with a stack of prescriptions before?" He said as he removed another door panel and walked out of the store.
Mother Han was stunned. She didn't expect that such a young boy would still remember it.
"There's something wrong with your prescription. Something bad will happen if you take it!" the guy said seriously.
"Why didn't you tell me there was a problem when I came to the clinic before?" Mother Han looked anxious and worried. Thinking of Jiang Shuxiu's sudden fainting and unconsciousness, her worry increased. "Is there something wrong with the prescription?"
The waiter looked embarrassed. "I don't know the details, but it was Doctor Hong from Baolin Hall in South City who noticed the problem. He's been asking around at various clinics lately."
The waiter kept chattering, but Mother Han could not remember any of his mutterings. She only felt the carriage galloping towards Baolin Hall in Nanshi. The bumpy ride made her feel as if her bones were about to fall apart, but she was completely unaware.
At this moment, in Baolin Hall, Hong Zhengxuan had returned from the Imperial Hospital and was busy pounding medicine with two apprentices while chatting about the recent trivialities of the capital's market.
"I can't believe that the Dong family, the guard commander who used to come to our place, would be involved in something like this. It's simply unbelievable that someone's life was taken."
"I don't think this has anything to do with Miss Dong. I heard she's gone insane now, and every night she shouts about seeing ghosts. It's really scary."
The two apprentices looked at each other, with a hint of sympathy and regret on their faces.
"Yes, Miss Dong was originally a gentle and virtuous woman. Who would have thought that she would suffer such a misfortune?"
"...I heard that Liu Zixue was a ruthless person. Miss Dong must have been extremely frightened and shocked. Alas, things in this world are really unpredictable."
Hong Zhengxuan raised his head and said after a moment's silence, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. The Ministry of Justice has sentenced Liu Zixue to death with a two-year reprieve. This is the clearest justice of heaven. So why would Miss Dong be afraid of ghosts for no reason?"
He paused, then sighed, "But when Aunt Li found out her daughter Chunhong was murdered, she cried so hard she fell ill... You two have to remember, from now on, when the Li family comes to get medicine, the cost will be halved."
"Yes, Young Master." The two apprentices answered in unison, their faces full of respect.
At this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door, breaking the tranquility in Baolin Hall.
"Open the door! Open the door!" Mother Han's crying voice sounded outside the door, which made Hong Zhengxuan and the two apprentices stunned.
Hong Zhengxuan quickly put down the pestle in his hand and walked quickly to the door, followed by his two apprentices.
As soon as the door opened, Mother Han stumbled in and grabbed Hong Zhengxuan's hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Who is Doctor Hong? Please save my young lady!" Mother Han spoke incoherently, her face full of tears.
"Young Master, this aunt is the one who brought the prescription last time!" The apprentice recognized Mother Han and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhengxuan's expression suddenly became serious. "Is the prescription you brought last time the one your young mistress is taking? Is it at home?" He asked hurriedly, and at the same time signaled to his apprentice to quickly get the medicine box and prepare to see the patient.
"That prescription is exactly what my young lady uses, and she has been taking it for several years. I am a servant in the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion." Mother Han answered hurriedly.
She had been out for some time and could not delay any longer. In a hurry, she reached out and grabbed Hong Zhengxuan's sleeve, leading him to the carriage outside the door.
Hong Zhengxuan knew that this matter was of great importance. He quickly took the medicine box handed over by the apprentice and said in a deep voice, "The store is now in your hands."
The two apprentices nodded and watched Hong Zhengxuan and Mother Han get on the carriage and leave in a hurry.
In the carriage, Hong Zhengxuan calmed Mother Han down and asked, "How many months is your young mistress pregnant now?"
Mother Han frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then counted on her fingers: "Four months, just turned four months..."
Hong Zhengxuan pondered for a moment. If the young lady was less than three months pregnant, he would be completely confident that both mother and child would be safe. However, now that it was already four months, his confidence was only 60%, and a flash of worry crossed his eyes.
Mother Han keenly caught the worry in Hong Zhengxuan's eyes and asked anxiously, "Doctor Hong, is everything serious?"
Hong Zhengxuan's expression softened, and he said soothingly, "Mother Han, don't worry. I'll make a final decision after I've checked the young lady's pulse."
He thought to himself that the Xingyuan Marquisate had helped Zhang Xianzhi escape safely from the hands of Princess Xianning, and he would always remember this favor.
If he could take this opportunity to repay her, he would do his best.
Inside the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, the lights were on, just like daylight.
Xue Zhongfu, seeing that Han's mother had not returned yet, could not help feeling anxious. He comforted his mother and elder brother and asked them to be patient. Then he had his horse prepared and prepared to go out in person to look for a doctor.
Just as he stepped out of the door, he saw Mother Han hurriedly getting off the carriage, followed by a figure carrying a medicine box.
Xue Zhongfu immediately stepped forward, and in the light of the lantern, he could see the man's face clearly. It turned out to be Hong Zhengxuan, a physician from the Imperial Hospital.
He had met Hong Zhengxuan several times before, both because of his experience rescuing Zhang Xianzhi. He knew Hong Zhengxuan was a skilled doctor, calm, and enthusiastic. Seeing that the doctor was Hong Zhengxuan, Xue Zhongfu's worries were immediately alleviated.
"Doctor Hong, I didn't expect it to be you. That's great. Please come in!" Xue Zhongre said as if he had seen a savior.
The doorman was quick-witted and immediately took the heavy medicine box from Hong Zhengxuan's hands to lighten his burden.
"Sir Xue, time is running out and we should not delay any longer. Please take me to the hospital for treatment." Hong Zhengxuan looked solemn, and his tone revealed his concern and attention to the patient's condition.
"Okay! Please follow me."
Xue Zhongfu led the way, guiding Hong Zhengxuan through the corridors of the garden and arriving at Tingyu Pavilion.
