Madam Wu led Yu Jiao, Chen Wan and the others to the main hall. The old man of the Wu family was pacing back and forth. When he saw Madam Wu, he asked hurriedly and anxiously, "Have you invited the female doctor?"
Madam Wu pulled Yu Jiao to her side and said repeatedly, "Please come in, please come in."
Wu Yi looked at Yu Jiao and said, "Doctor Yu, my cousin's niece's life is entrusted to you."
Yu Jiao said calmly, "Master Wu, you are too kind. I will do my best to save him." She said to Madam Wu, "Take me to see the patient."
Madam Wu hurriedly said, "Doctor Yu, this way please."
Shen Wan was about to catch up, but was stopped by Wu Yi, "Miss Shen is a precious girl, it's not good for you to be sick. You should sit here for a while and wait for Dr. Yu to see you."
Chen Guan didn't want to insist on following, so he had to sit down in the main hall.
Although Wu Yi also sat down in the main hall, he sent the maid to the west wing and asked her to report to him as soon as there was any news.
Yu Jiao followed Madam Wu into the west wing. There were two maids guarding the bed. When they saw Madam Wu coming in, the maids said in panic, "Madam, the young lady has been unconscious for almost an incense stick of time, and there is no sign of waking up yet."
Mrs. Wu asked the two of them to move aside and make room for Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao walked to the bedside and looked at the woman lying on the bed. The woman's face was a little pale due to illness, and her brows were slightly furrowed. Her fragile beauty was even more stunning than when she first saw her on the Bi Bo Lake.
It turned out to be Miss Su He who played the pipa very well.
Yu Jiao took Su He's hand out from under the quilt, checked her pulse, and asked the two maids about Su He's condition.
"What symptoms do your girls have?"
The maid replied, "My daughter has a fever today but is shivering all over. I don't know if it's because of the heavy snow yesterday. I just asked a doctor to come and gave her fever-reducing medicine, but she's still not getting better. The doctor said she has an acute illness."
Yu Jiao carefully observed Su He's expression and asked, "Are you feeling any other discomfort?"
Another older maid replied, "It snowed yesterday, and my daughter said she was feeling unwell and had a chill. She stayed in bed all day. The servants invited her to eat, but she felt sick and retched from time to time. She said she couldn't eat and didn't eat all day. At night, she said she had a pain in her waist and abdomen, so I rubbed her and she went to bed. But she became even sicker and retched more severely. Not only did she have cold sweats all over her body, but she also said she couldn't bear the pain in her lower back. She cried because of the pain."
"Since you were feeling unwell yesterday, why didn't you see a doctor yesterday?" Yu Jiao frowned slightly. She still remembered that when they parted at Qingzhou Embroidery Pavilion, Su He was dressed like a proper lady with a relaxed smile on her face. She was beautiful and her eyes were full of anticipation for a new life.
The maidservant said in a weak voice, "It was snowing heavily yesterday, and the weather was freezing cold. The young lady might have been considerate of us servants, so she didn't ask us to go out of the house to find a doctor..."
Her voice became increasingly quiet, and Madam Wu glared at the two maids fiercely, blaming them, "This is how you normally serve your master. Su He cares for you servants, but you servants know that your master is unwell, so why don't you care for her?"
The two maids knelt down in panic and admitted their mistakes.
Yu Jiao was too lazy to watch Madam Wu disciplining the servants. She asked Jianjia to open the diagnosis box, take out the needle bag, pull out the silver needle, and use the fine needle method to moxibustion the Su Liao point, and combined it with the Qi Hai point and the Chan Zhong point to perform emergency treatment for the patient's fainting due to qi deficiency.
Not long after the injection, Su He woke up slowly from unconsciousness. When she saw the figure standing in front of the bed, she was surprised. "Why is the girl here?"
Madam Wu was delighted. "Doctor Yu is truly amazing. With just one injection, Su He woke up." She said to the maid, "Go and tell the master that Su He has woken up."
Yu Jiao said calmly, "It was just stimulating the acupuncture points to wake Miss Su He up, it didn't cure the disease."
Madam Wu smiled awkwardly and said flatteringly, "Doctor Yu is an excellent doctor. With you here, Miss Su He's illness will definitely be cured."
Su He then noticed Madam Wu and wanted to get up from the bed to greet her. Madam Wu hurriedly said, "You are sick, just lie down in bed."
"I'm sorry to have made Madam worry." Su He said apologetically.
Madam Wu asked Yu Jiao, "Doctor Yu, is Su He in any serious condition?"
Yu Jiao took back the silver needle and said, "Miss Su He is not suffering from fever or chills. I need to ask her carefully before I can confirm the diagnosis."
She asked Jianjia to get a cup of tea, handed it to Suhe, and asked gently, "When did your waist and abdomen pain start? How is your urination these days?"
Su He's face turned slightly red, adding a touch of color to her pale face. She drank a glass of water from Yu Jiao's hand, and her body seemed to feel better. She then spoke, "I had some dull pain the past two days, but I didn't pay much attention to it. But yesterday it suddenly hurt a lot, and today it hurts so much that I can't stand it. As for urinating..."
Perhaps because of the presence of Madam Wu, Su He was unable to speak. Seeing this, Yu Jiao said to Madam Wu, "Madam, can you please wait outside?"
It was also because Su He fell seriously ill this time that Doctor Wu realized that Su He was the person that Prime Minister Shen would use in the future, and there must be no mistakes. Moreover, her life experience was confidential, otherwise if she had become so seriously ill, the Wu family would have gone to the palace to invite the imperial physician, but the master said that no one in the palace should be allowed to see Su He.
Therefore, Mrs. Wu was "asked" to leave the house without any displeasure, and just said, "Then I will wait outside. If Doctor Yu needs anything or wants someone to get medicine, just let me know."
