Shi Qingqing first knelt in the cold ancestral hall for a whole night, and then stood at the gate of the palace for a whole day the next day without eating or drinking.
The weather turned cooler again that night.
If this happened to an ordinary lady, she would have collapsed long ago.
It was already midnight, and the people who had been guarding Shi Qingqing during the day had already gone home to sleep. A few young men who were too fond of Shi Qingqing wanted to continue guarding, but they had to leave before curfew.
Before leaving, many people tried to send food, drinks and clothes to Shi Qingqing, but they were all rejected by Shi Qingqing.
But even though Shi Qingqing usually practiced riding and archery and had good physical fitness, she couldn't hold on.
On the dark street, in front of the huge palace gate, Shi Qingqing and her maid Amei were alone.
After Shi Qingqing fell, A-Mei could no longer hold on.
But he still struggled to climb towards the palace gate and used all his strength to break down the door.
"Save Miss... Save her..."
…
When Su Yi was woken up, she could hear people coming and going in the palace.
Aunt Chen obviously heard the sound as well.
Not long after, Aunt Chen, who had gone out to inquire about the situation, came back and said, "Master, Miss Shi fainted at the gate of the mansion. Prince Yin had her carried into the mansion. The doctor in the mansion is treating her now..."
"I really don't understand Yin Xuanmo. If he was going to bring her into the mansion anyway, why didn't he do it earlier and let her suffer this?"
Aunt Chen felt that her master had not yet woken up.
"Master, you... don't care?" Aunt Chen had heard something about Su Yi and Yin Xuanmo.
"Huh? What do I care about?"
Aunt Chen: “…”
"Master, please continue to sleep."
Su Yi fell back to sleep, but the noise became louder and louder, and more and more people came, and she was completely awakened from her sleep.
Su Yi couldn't fall asleep even though she wanted to.
After a whole hour had passed and there was still no peace, Su Yi simply put on her clothes.
"Let's go check it out too."
Aunt Chen put another cloak on her before they headed towards where the noise was coming from.
Along the way, I met many people coming and going to the kitchen. Some were boiling water or carrying hot water, while others were boiling medicine.
The courtyard where Shi Qingqing was placed was actually not very close to the courtyard where Su Yi lived, but in the silent night, the various noises coming and going were too obvious.
Su Yi stopped a maid who was carrying water and asked, "What happened to Miss Shi? Is it serious?"
The maid bowed respectfully and said, "Young lady, Miss Shi has caught a cold and has a high fever. The situation... is somewhat urgent."
"Have all the doctors in the palace seen it?"
"I've seen it all, but Miss Shi's condition is really serious..."
Su Yi waved her hand casually, "Go quickly."
After the maid left, Su Yi frowned and pondered.
Aunt Chen asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Miss Shi's condition is a bit like an acute cold..." After all, the doctors and medical practitioners in Yin Xuanmo's mansion are not just sitting there to eat and not working.
"Young lady said that many people die from acute colds every year in all countries of the world. Acute colds usually come on with great force, and even the best doctors can't save the patient if there is a slight mistake."
Thinking of something in her heart, Su Yi immediately said, "Aunt Chen, please hurry up. There is a white jade medicine bottle in the bedside drawer of the room where I live. Please quickly get it for me and send it directly to Miss Shi."
Aunt Chen didn't say much and went down to do it immediately.
Su Yi stood there for a while, thought about it, and then walked towards the house where Shi Qingqing was.
However, Su Yi was stopped by the guards at the gate as soon as she reached the gate.
After Su Yi expressed her wish to go see Shi Qingqing, the guard said respectfully, "Miss Su Yi, the prince has ordered that you cannot go in."
"I have learned some basic medical knowledge. I will go and take a look. Maybe I can be of any help?"
The guard still insisted.
Su Yi was speechless. Why did they stop her from going in?
Is it possible that she will take this opportunity to kill Shi Qingqing to vent her anger?
"Is Prince Yin in there?"
"exist."
Su Yi yelled at the top of her voice, "Prince Yin, I am Su Yi. I came to see the young lady. Please ask them to let me in. The young lady and I have learned some medical skills..."
Not long after she finished shouting, someone came up with a message, asking Su Yi to leave quickly.
Su Yi was furious.
Your kindness is taken as an insult!
When Su Yi was walking back angrily, she met Aunt Chen who happened to be coming with medicine.
"Aunt Chen, take the medicine to the guard at the door and tell them that I sent it to Miss Jiuer and it might be helpful for Miss Shi's condition. But medicine is something that cannot be taken carelessly. Let Yin Xuanmo think carefully about whether to give it to Miss Shi or not, and don't blame me if there are any problems later!"
She is not a pushover, she has just been with the young lady and Miss Jiuer for a long time. Even if Miss Jiuer is someone who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, most of the time she will help if she sees someone dying of illness on the street.
Su Yi didn't think about the feud and status between Shi Qingqing and herself at all.
It's almost a conditioned reflex. Of course, medicine should be used on those who need it, otherwise would you keep it for yourself and let it expire and grow worms?
Su Yi returned to her residence, still angry.
Soon Aunt Chen came back, and when she came back, she saw Su Yi looking angry.
He poured Su Yi a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Master, don't be angry. I was not allowed to enter the yard when I went to deliver the medicine. I looked carefully and found that the people serving in the yard were not allowed to come out. People outside delivered things directly to the door."
"Prince Yin did not allow you to enter, probably because he was afraid that you might get sick or catch a cold."
"Aunt Chen, only common colds can infect people. If it's an acute cold, it won't infect people at all. Miss Shi's symptoms are so severe, she looks like she's staggering. How can it be a common cold?"
"It's possible that Prince Yin can't tell what kind of cold this is, or he doesn't know that acute colds cannot infect humans. It's better to be safe than sorry." Aunt Chen said.
He added, "To be honest, this is the first time I know there are common colds and acute colds. It is also the first time I know that acute colds do not infect people. I usually only think that colds can be severe or not, but the possibility of infecting people is very high."
Su Yi grumbled, "I don't care whether he knows it or not. Anyway, I have said and done everything I should have said and done. If something really happens, it can't be regarded as me watching him die without helping. I won't let my conscience go against it."
That night, the noise didn't stop until almost dawn, and it was at this time that Su Yi fell back into sleep in a daze.
The next day, Su Yi woke up at noon.
When Suyi was eating, she noticed that Aduo looked strange.
"Aduo, what's wrong with you?"
A Duo looked at her and hesitated to speak.
"Miss, the prince did not attend the morning court today. He is still..." She gritted her teeth, "accompanying that teacher's daughter in her courtyard."
"Ah?" Su Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Is it so serious that you didn’t even go to the morning court?
You know, Yin Xuanmo goes to court regardless of rain or shine!
"Didn't he give the medicine that I asked Aunt Chen to deliver yesterday to Miss Shi?"
A Duo's eyes almost popped out.
"Medicine? What medicine? Girl, aren't those medicines in your drawer all your treasures? Aren't they all given to you by Miss Jiuer?"
"The purpose of medicine is to cure diseases and save lives." Su Yi said.
That’s right. She was afraid that the patient wouldn’t be appreciated and her medicine would be wasted.
Because the message had been sent out, Su Yi would not leave the house for the time being.
When Aunt Chen came, Suyi sent Aduo away again.
A Duo felt very resentful and thought that Miss Su Yi was indeed partial to Aunt Chen.
What Su Yi is most concerned about now is of course her young lady Baili Feiyue.
"Aunt Chen, have you confirmed it? Can the message be sent out?"
Aunt Chen nodded, "Confirmed."
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, the news that Miss Shi fell ill in the palace has spread. When I went out, I heard many people on the street talking about it in secret."
Su Yi found it strange. "Ms. Shi and her maid fell down in the middle of the night, and there were no other residents around the palace. At that time, there was not even a ghost, let alone a person. I think no one saw it. How did the people outside know about it?"
Aunt Chen also found it strange.
"I always feel that this matter of Miss Shi is not simple."
At this moment, Aduo, who had been sent away, ran in with a bang, "Miss, the master is here at the palace!"
"Don't go out. It's rumored that the master is very protective of his subordinates! And that young lady fell ill under the guise of asking for your forgiveness. Don't let her blame you for this!"
Speaking of which, his face was full of indignation.
So, Suyi didn’t understand why A Duo was so angry?
However, although she behaves properly, she will not cause trouble for herself.
It's just that she doesn't look for trouble, but trouble looks for her.
Just at dinner time, it seemed that Yin Xuanmo would not come to join her today, or ask her to have dinner together. When Su Yi was preparing to eat with Aunt Chen and A Duo, someone came to tell her that Yin Xuanmo wanted to see her.
Su Yi originally thought that Yin Xuanmo came to ask her out for dinner, but it turned out that they went to Shi Qingqing's place.
Su Yi walked in with some suspicion, and of course did not see Shi Qingqing.
Shi Qingqing is still lying in bed.
In the living room, Yin Xuanmo, who was sitting in the main seat, had a blank expression on his face, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. There were faint dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept well last night, or had not slept at all.
In addition to Yin Xuanmo, there is another person.
He was a neat old man.
Although he is old, his eyes are cold, wise, solemn and firm.
As soon as Su Yi appeared, the old man's eyes fell on her, like a thorn in his back.
Su Yi tried her best to ignore the old man's gaze and said to Yin Xuanmo, "Prince Yin, what do you want me to do for you?"
Yin Xuanmo's eyes fell on her face, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry. "I had the medicine you sent me given to Miss Shi."
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Miss Shi should be feeling better now, right?"
"Ms. Shi, you've been poisoned."
Su Yi was struck by thunder, "Prince Yin, do you think I would poison Miss Shi?"
"I, Suyi, would never do such a thing!"
"I also believe you won't." Yin Xuanmo looked at Aunt Chen standing aside, "Hand over the antidote, and I will leave you with an intact body."
Aunt Chen reacted and immediately knelt down in front of Su Yi, "Master, I have never done this before!"
Su Yi also didn't believe that Aunt Chen would do such a thing, so she stood in front of Aunt Chen and said, "Prince Yin! Aunt Chen has no reason to do this! I believe her!"
