6 Coma
"Miss!" Luzhi's face changed drastically and she hurriedly supported the person. Lanzhi took out the medicine and gave it to Xiao Tingyun.
"Hurry, Ming'er, go find the host!" Song trembled slightly and hurriedly urged Xiao Heming.
Xiao Heming did not dare to stay and told Shen Lan, "Madam, please take good care of your mother and sister, don't panic."
Shen Lan nodded and said seriously, "Husband, go quickly, don't worry, I'm here."
"Mom, auntie, it hurts..." An Ge'er grabbed Shen Lan's hand a little scared, trying to seek comfort from his mother.
Shen Lan patted his son's head, "Don't be afraid, An Ge'er, your aunt will be fine."
Then he instructed the servants to fetch some hot water and find a few strong maids to carry Xiao Tingyun up, and asked them to put the luggage away since they could not help.
For a moment, everything was in order and there was no chaos.
Xiao Tingyun felt much better after taking the medicine, but his legs were swollen and his consciousness was fuzzy. The Buddha statue kept moving away from him, and his compassionate look gradually became unclear. Finally, he couldn't hold it in and fainted.
"Ayun!"
…
"How can you listen to my Buddhist teachings if your mind is not calm?" Master Jingkong sat cross-legged in front of a man.
The man's voice was as deep as snow and cypress, "The master's Dharma is profound. Whether you are calm or not, you can benefit from it."
Jingkong smiled and said, "I have something else to do later. I will talk about Buddhism next time when I return from my travels."
"Oh? So sudden?" The man was slightly surprised, but Jingkong sat quietly without saying a word.
The man asked again, "What's the matter? What needs to be disturbed, Master?"
Jingkong shook his head and stroked his beard, quite mysteriously, with an aloof temperament, "It cannot be said."
The man chuckled, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, his posture was dignified.
The young monk outside the door said, "Uncle Jingkong, the eldest son of the Dingbei Marquis family wants to see you for something."
The man murmured, "From the Dingbei Marquis family... Xiao Heming."
Jingkong did not respond. He stood up and clasped his hands together in front of the man. "Amitabha. I will take my leave now."
"Master, please feel free to do as you wish." The man nodded and smiled.
After Jingkong left the door, the man turned the teacup in his hand, put it down after a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here!"
"exist!"
"Check what happened to Dingbei Marquis's family today?"
"yes!"
…
"Master Jingkong, how is my sister?" Xiao Heming couldn't help but ask.
Jingkong said as he felt the patient's pulse, "The body is weak and the heart is palpitating. The pulse is mysterious and weak, and the patient will die young."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed, and Song even shed tears, "Master, my daughter's doctor did say the same thing when she was young, but..."
"Don't worry, ma'am. There is still hope." Jingkong stopped taking Song's pulse and interrupted her crying.
He took out a square box from his robe and said, "Give her this medicine."
Luzhi stepped forward and took it with both hands, "Thank you, Master."
When he opened it, it turned out to be a black pill, which Xiao Tingyun immediately took.
"This medicine can relieve her uneasy mood, but physical weakness is the root cause and it cannot be eradicated. She can only rest. After she wakes up, go to the Buddha and burn some incense. Then ask for a peace amulet to carry with her. Then her heart palpitations will get better in the future." Jingkong said slowly.
The three of them were overjoyed, but Song heard Master Jingkong talking about palpitations and asked hurriedly, "Palpitations? We have never heard of her having palpitations?"
Jingkong paused, then shook his head, "She has had palpitations for three years, but now that she is fine, I will take my leave now."
This was their family affair, so he shouldn't interfere too much.
"Thank you, Master."
"Master, take care."
"Amitabha……"
As soon as Jingkong left, Song couldn't help herself. With a cold face, she slammed the table and scolded Luzhi and Lanzhi, "How did you take care of the young lady?!"
Green Branch and Blue Branch immediately knelt down, "Madam, please calm down!"
"Why don't you tell me the truth? What happened to your third sister?" Shen Lan frowned. These two girls were so bold that they dared to conceal her illness.
Xiao Heming also had a look of anger and panic on his face. His sister had been suffering from palpitations for three years, but his family members didn't even know about it?
Lanzhi was younger after all, and she was so scared that she started sobbing.
Luzhi was calmer, but she was also startled and quickly told the story.
"When the young lady was in Jiangnan, she caught a cold and was sick for quite a few days. After she got better, she developed heart palpitations. The doctor prescribed pills to relieve the symptoms. Old Madam Song wanted to write to inform you, but the young lady said that she would be returning to Beijing soon, so she asked her to tell you in person to avoid making you worry. Old Madam Song agreed." Luzhi knelt down and spoke clearly.
"The young lady's heart palpitations have become less and less frequent recently, and the doctor was unable to diagnose the problem before, so the young lady thought that her condition had improved, and she would not allow the servants to make any more nonsense."
Luzhi explained every word carefully without hiding anything. Although she didn't know why Master Jingkong was able to diagnose the disease, it was probably because the doctors' medical skills were not very good.
Song's eyebrows knitted together, "When was the last time your young lady had a heart palpitation?"
Green Branch stammered, "Yes...it was three days ago."
“Pah—”
Song threw a teacup to the ground, and the broken pieces scratched Lvzhi's forehead, and blood immediately dripped.
Luzhi didn't dare to cry out in pain, and quickly knelt on the ground. Lanzhi was shocked and said, "Madam, please spare my life!"
Song Wanrou's eyes changed slightly, with a hint of surprise and discomfort, but she finally hardened her heart and said nothing.
Shen Lan immediately blocked his son's sight, fearing that he would scream out of fear.
"Mother..." Ang'er called softly.
Shen Lan shook his head and whispered, "Don't move."
Xiao Heming and Shen Lan were both a little surprised by Song's rage. After all, their mother had never been so angry before.
Song was angry, but her tone was much softer. "You are so brave. You have learned the art of deception!"
Although her name was Wanrou, Song was a person of strong character and seldom showed such anger. It was only because her daughter's bottom line was touched that she could not suppress her anger.
"Don't worry, mother. My sister cannot leave home right now. If you want to deal with these two girls, you must inform my sister." Shen Lan advised from the side. The mother was angry and easily impulsive.
"Yes, mother, the most urgent thing right now is to wait for my sister to wake up." Xiao Heming felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at his sick sister.
Song didn't want to cause any discord between herself and her daughter, and since An Ge'er was there too, she suppressed her anger and said, "I'll deal with you after Ayun wakes up!"
"Thank you, ma'am." Luzhi and Lanzhi knelt down to express their gratitude.
While they were talking, they didn't notice a figure quietly leaving in the dark.
The man ran straight to the back room and arrived at the gate of a courtyard. It was quiet all around, but there were many people hiding in the dark.
The person sitting inside looked like the man who had just communicated with Master Jingkong, and behind him was a beardless middle-aged servant.
The man was sitting at the desk, holding a scroll in his hand. His palms were slender and strong, and his fingers were clearly defined. The servant was standing quietly at one side with his head down.
Hearing the voice, the man asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The messenger reported, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the second wife of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, along with the eldest son's family and the third daughter Xiao Tingyun, came here to burn incense today. The third daughter fainted when she climbed the ninety-nine steps due to exhaustion. After Master Jingkong went to treat her, the wife got very angry..."
The person sitting in front at this moment is Pei Yuning, the king of Da Qi. Although he is almost thirty years old, the majesty of being an emperor is permeated throughout his body. He is dressed in a dark and gorgeous robe with flowing light draped over his shoulders. He has sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, pale and thin lips, and a calm gaze, which is dignified and aloof.
Pei Yuning looked calm, "Why are you angry?"
"It seems that the third young lady has a heart disease that ordinary doctors cannot diagnose, so she has not told her family about it for three years, and the maids have been ordered not to talk too much."
"Three years?" Pei Yuning raised his eyebrows from the book.
"yes!"
After listening to this, Pei Yuning lowered his head again and said, "Go out."
"I'll take my leave." The man walked out the door.
Standing aside and serving was Zhang Quanfu, the current emperor's chief steward.
Zhang Quanfu said cheerfully with a chubby face, "This Miss Xiao is also a strange person. She has a disease and not only does she not treat it, but she also endures it. I wonder if the doctors in Jiangnan are not good at medicine, or if this disease is really too strange?"
Pei Yuning chuckled, amused by Zhang Quanfu's words, "He is indeed a strange man, but I don't think I have heard that Minister Xiao has a daughter?"
He searched his mind for a long time but could not find any impression or information.
Seeing that His Majesty was interested in chatting, Zhang Quanfu hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Lord Xiao's daughter has been in poor health since she was born. She was sent to her maternal grandfather's home in Jiangnan to recuperate when she was young, and she only came back in the past two years."
As he spoke, he sighed, "My health is not good enough. I haven't even left the house once in the past few days since I came back. I've been sick all the time."
Pei Yuning looked at Zhang Quanfu with amusement, "You have found out everything clearly."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Quanfu bowed his head and apologized, fearing that the emperor would blame him for being too close to the ministers. "Oh, how dare I? I just heard Lord Xiao mention it before, so I'll take note of it."
Pei Yuning found it funny when he thought of that old fox Xiao Qu. He didn't want to ask any more questions and waved his hand to let him go. "Forget it, you can go down."
Then he buried himself in his books again, ignoring external affairs. Zhang Quanfu said "yes" softly and left.
While they were talking, Xiao Tingyun had already woken up.
