When the servants saw the old woman collapse, they cried out in panic, "Madam has fainted! Quick, someone come quick!"
Hearing the shouts, the Prime Minister rushed over: "Madam, Madam! What's wrong? Someone, quickly fetch the imperial physician!"
Jianlong looked at Xiaofeng and said, "Xiaofeng, she must be the Prime Minister's wife. Is she alright? Should we go and rescue her?"
Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "They have already summoned the imperial physician. We should go and inform our master first!"
Stegosaurus nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go!"
The two transformed into a beam of light and vanished in a flash.
Chiu Chiu has returned to the princess's residence and is eating snacks in her room.
Chirp: "I'm starving!"
Little Phoenix Sword Dragon teleported into Chiu Chiu's room.
Chiu Chiu looked up at them and said, "You're back? How did things go? Did you find out everything?"
Xiao Feng: "Reporting to Master, we have found out that the person sitting in the carriage is the Prime Minister's wife."
Jianlong: "But she has fainted now. We don't know what illness she has. So we haven't had time to investigate her obsession."
Chiu Chiu put down the snack she was holding and said, "Did she faint?"
Xiao Feng: "Exactly. Master, should we intervene?"
Chiu Chiu: "She must have been invaded by the dark energy and couldn't bear such heavy demonic energy, so she fainted."
Stegosaurus: "Then what do we do?"
Chiu Chiu: "I remember that my maternal grandfather had a good relationship with the prime minister, so I'll go with him to visit him."
Chuchu grabbed her little bag and ran off.
Xiao Feng: "Wait for my master, I'll go with you!"
When Xu Ruyun saw Qiuqiu and Xiaofeng leave, she asked Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, you just got back, where are you going again?"
Chirp: "Mommy, I want to go find Grandpa. Does he have any ginseng, bird's nest, or any expensive tonics?"
Xu Ruyun said happily, "Chiu-chiu has really become sensible. She knows how to be filial to her maternal grandfather."
Chirp: "Mommy, actually these aren't for visiting Grandpa, they're for visiting someone else."
Xu Ruyun was both amused and exasperated: "Alright! Then I'll prepare two sets, one for your maternal grandfather and one for the person you're visiting, okay?"
Chirp: "Okay!"
Xiao Feng took the gifts and went out with Qiu Qiu.
Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, Qiuqiu presented the gifts to her maternal grandfather.
The Grand Tutor was overjoyed and said, "How can Qiuqiu be so sensible? She even knew to come see me alone!"
Qiuqiu grabbed the Grand Tutor's hand and said, "Grandfather, hurry! The Prime Minister's wife is seriously ill; we must go see her!"
The Grand Tutor looked at Qiuqiu and said, "How come I haven't heard of this? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go so rashly?"
Chiu Chiu: "Grandpa, hurry up! Maybe I can cure her. If we go any later, it might be too late."
Grand Tutor: "But..."
Chirp: "No buts. Let's go!"
Chiu Chiu pushed the Grand Tutor outside.
Grand Tutor kept looking back at Qiuqiu as he walked.
Grand Tutor: "You little rascal, you're quite strong."
The Grand Tutor followed Qiuqiu to the Prime Minister's residence.
The imperial physician hurriedly entered the Prime Minister's residence.
The Grand Tutor said to Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, you are right. It seems that the Prime Minister's wife's health condition is as you said."
Chirp: "Yes, Grandpa, would I lie to you? Let's go!"
Grand Tutor and Qiuqiu entered the Prime Minister's residence together.
The prime minister came out to greet them.
"Grand Tutor and Princess Wanguo have arrived! I have failed to greet you properly. My apologies!"
Grand Tutor: "It's alright. You also have important matters to attend to."
Chiu Chiu gave the gift to the Prime Minister.
"Prime Minister, this is truly a gift for the Lady!"
The Prime Minister accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, Princess Wanguo!"
Chiu Chiu: "How is the Prime Minister's wife now? Can I go see her?"
Grand Tutor: "We just saw the imperial physician, so..."
The Prime Minister said, “It’s alright. Thank you, Grand Tutor, and thank you, Princess Wanguo. My wife is ill and I’m afraid she might pass on her illness to you.”
Chirp: "It's alright, it's alright. I'm immune to all poisons. Let me go see the Prime Minister's wife, maybe I have a solution!"
The Prime Minister said happily, "Really? I heard some time ago that Princess Wanguo cured the prince. Perhaps she can save my wife this time too! That would be very troublesome. This way, please—"
Grand Tutor Qiuqiu followed the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister's wife's room.
The Prime Minister's wife lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
When Qiuqiu saw a patch of black mist on her face, she knew the answer.
The Prime Minister looked at Qiuqiu expectantly and said, "Princess Wanguo, do you think there is any way to cure my wife? The imperial physicians came just now but were helpless."
[This is a good time to probe into the Prime Minister's wife's inner turmoil.]
So, Qiuqiu asked the Prime Minister, "Does the Prime Minister's wife still have any unfulfilled wishes?"
The prime minister wept and said, "Are you saying my wife is beyond saving?"
Seeing the Prime Minister cry, Qiuqiu became nervous.
Oh dear, Your Excellency has misunderstood me. What should I do?
The Grand Tutor tugged at Qiuqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, speak carefully to the Prime Minister. Is there any hope of saving the Lady?"
Qiuqiu looked at the Prime Minister and said, "Prime Minister, don't cry. That's not what I meant. The Lady can still be saved."
The Prime Minister wiped away his tears and said, "Can it be saved? Then why did you ask that just now? I thought..."
Chiu Chiu's eyes darted around as she said, "What I mean is that the lady is currently unconscious and has lost all will to live. If we can use her wishes to awaken her, our chances of success will be much greater!"
Prime Minister: "Oh. I see. I understand."
Chiu Chiu asked the Prime Minister, "What is the lady's wish? What is her greatest wish?"
The Prime Minister sighed and said, "Alas! My wife's greatest wish is to find our daughter."
Chiu Chiu: "Daughter?"
The Prime Minister: "Yes. Years ago, my wife took her to a lantern festival, and she accidentally got lost. She has not been found to this day. My wife has always felt guilty, and her health has deteriorated ever since. Perhaps she has fallen ill from missing her husband so much!"
Chiu Chiu instantly understood: "Oh, I see. No wonder."
The Prime Minister said, "No wonder."
Chiu Chiu: "No, it's nothing."
No wonder her obsession runs so deep. A mother's longing for her daughter for so many years could never be stronger. No wonder Jinlan chose her. This Jinlan is too cunning!
The Prime Minister said, "Then I beg Princess Wanguo to treat my wife! I will be eternally grateful!"
Chiu Chiu: "Okay! I can manage on my own here. You guys wait for me outside for a moment."
The Prime Minister nodded and left with the Grand Tutor.
Jiujiu took out some spiritual spring water and dabbed it on the Prime Minister's wife's lips.
After the Prime Minister's wife drank a few drops, the dark aura on her face dissipated a little.
"Madam Prime Minister, please wake up quickly. I will help you find your daughter!" said Qiuqiu.
The Prime Minister's wife's fingers twitched slightly.
Chiu Chiu continued to feed the Prime Minister's wife the spiritual spring water.
The Prime Minister's wife drank several more drops.
Chuchu said, "You have to wake up soon! Only when you wake up can you tell me about your daughter so I can help you find her!"
