"You want to help the eldest girl?"
"Do you know who she is?"
"who?"
"She is Mr. Qian's only granddaughter."
Qian Bingkun, a veteran of two dynasties, a cabinet elder, a first-rank tutor, held a high position and great power.
This was a true seed of infatuation. His wife gave birth to his only son and then died.
After his wife died, he never remarried and never took a concubine.
A man raised his son with great difficulty, but unexpectedly, his only son died of a serious illness two years after his granddaughter was born.
This granddaughter became his only comfort.
Since childhood, I have always held it in my mouth for fear that it would melt, and held it in my hands for fear that it would fall.
When the child was only five years old, he used his achievements in writing books and flood control to exchange for the title of county lord for his granddaughter.
If I can make friends with him, maybe I can help my sister in the future.
After saying that, she stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust from her skirt. "Let's go and see my eldest sister."
In Tu Qingxue's bedroom, Tu Wang's face was full of worry.
At first, she thought Tu Qingxue was playing some tricks again, just to make her let go and release the person.
But seeing Tu Qingxue's high fever recurring day by day and her weight decreasing, the anger in my heart subsided a little.
One time, Tu Qingxue woke up and promised to forgive her punishment and let her go out to have a look after she woke up.
Tu Qingxue was originally happy, but her health was getting worse and worse. She drank bowl after bowl of medicine but it didn't get better. She could no longer be happy.
"Mother." Tu Qinglu bowed. "Mother, please don't worry. This time when Qinglu enters the palace, my sister asked me to bring the imperial physician with me."
"Seriously, hurry up! Invite the person in!"
She walked anxiously towards the door. The imperial physician came in after receiving permission, and Tu Wangshi immediately stepped forward.
"Doctor, please take a look at my child."
"Madam, please don't worry. I will take your pulse."
After the imperial physician took the patient's pulse, his brows furrowed more and more. Looking at his expression, Mrs. Tu Wang became extremely anxious.
She wanted to speak, but was afraid of disturbing the imperial physician, so she could only tightly hold the handkerchief in her hand.
The imperial physician stood up after a long while and bowed. "Madam, I've taken the young lady's pulse and it seems she has a cold. But Madam also said that the young lady has been suffering from this condition for more than ten days now. This..."
"how?"
"This is obviously different from the cold I've experienced before." But he could only feel the pulse and find a cold. "For now, the only thing we can do is to reduce the high fever. If it continues, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your sanity."
"Ah!" Tu Wangshi almost lost her balance. "Is it harmful to the mind?"
"Yes, but there may be other problems." For example, losing hearing, becoming a fool, etc.
He had actually seen quite a few people who became stupid due to high fever, but most of them were ordinary people who didn't have much money and couldn't afford good medicine.
Nowadays, there are very few cases where there is no cure for the disease.
"Doctor, please save my daughter, she is still so young..." How could things turn out like this?
At this moment, she even doubted herself a little. Was it because she punished Tu Qingxue too much that caused her to become like this?
But in the end she rejected this idea. If you do something wrong, you must be punished.
If you don't learn your lesson, won't it cause disaster next time?
"The only solution now is to give her a strong medicine. If the young lady's fever doesn't subside before tomorrow morning after taking this medicine, then..."
"Will it cause mental damage?"
"Probably, but if the fever doesn't go away, not only his mind but his life might be in danger."
Tu Wangshi's vision almost went dark. She placed her hand on her chest and said, "I understand. Please ask the imperial physician to prescribe the medicine first."
The imperial physician bowed and was taken away.
After everyone left, Tu Wang supported Tu Yuzhi and shed tears, "How could your sister become like this? What should I do?"
"Don't worry, mother. If my sister is serious... then my Tu family can support her for the rest of her life."
Tu Wangshi did not respond to this and just kept crying.
No matter what, this is her daughter, her first daughter.
She didn't want her daughter to be mentally impaired, and she didn't want her to die.
Fortunately, after taking a strong dose of medicine, the fever in Tu Qingxue's body subsided at dawn the next day.
Another morning later, the man woke up.
The servants in her room were so happy that they cried, and Tu Wangshi also thanked the imperial physician again and again.
"I'm glad the girl is alright. I'll be back soon."
But before the imperial physician even stepped out of the mansion, Tu Wangshi discovered that something was wrong with Tu Qingxue.
Tu Qingxue sat at the head of the bed, taking medicine when she was told to and doing whatever she was told to do, looking very obedient.
But that look in his eyes seemed a bit dull no matter how you looked at it, and he seemed to lack some spirit.
"Qingxue, Qingxue?"
She called out several times before Tu Qingxue came to her senses and grinned at Tu Wangshi.
"Mom, you called me?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"What?"
"I say, what are you thinking about?"
She was stunned for two seconds, then seemed to react and smacked her lips. "Nothing, Mom, I'm just hungry."
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone make you something to eat."
She turned around and asked someone to call the imperial physician back.
The imperial physician asked Tu Qingxue a few questions and took her pulse again and again.
Everyone in the room held their breath. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of an embroidery needle dropping to the ground.
Finally, Tu Qingxue couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey, what's wrong with you?! I'm hungry, go get some food."
She frowned and pulled her hand out of the doctor's hand, "I'm so annoyed. Why do you always hold my hand?"
The imperial physician looked at her expression and became more certain of his diagnosis.
He stood up and asked, "Madam, may I have a moment to talk?"
When Tu Wang heard this, she knew it was not good, and she made a gesture of invitation.
Going to the compartment, the imperial physician whispered to Tu Wangshi, "I see that the young lady's mind is somewhat damaged, but not as much as others. She has the mind of a child of a few years old. She's just a little slower in reaction now. Also... was the young lady always this impatient?"
"That's not the case." Tu Qingxue has always loved playing tricks since she was a child, but she never appears to be so carefree.
"That's it. Maybe this incident has some impact on the young lady's temperament. She may react slower and more anxious in the future." She was lucky to have been burning for so long. This is the best outcome.
"I just spoke to her, and she seemed to have lost hearing several times. This..."
"I just noticed it too. I don't know if it's because her reaction has slowed down or because of her ears..."
Tu Wang covered her mouth and sobbed, "What should I do?"
"For now, all we can do is take good care of him with medicine. Maybe he'll get better someday."
