Chapter 204 Extra: If Pei Yan was reborn (13)
In the Jiang Mansion, when Jiang Shuyi saw her six-year-old sister lying on the bed with a flushed face and closed eyes, unconscious, her legs went weak.
She grabbed her sister's hand and called her again and again, but there was no response.
After examining the patient, the imperial physicians shook their heads and said they had never seen such complicated symptoms.
Jiang Shuyi cried every day and was very uneasy until noon on the third day, when a servant came to report that the nun had come again.
Father Jiang and Lady Dou also came to visit the patient. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly said, "Please come in. It was she who cured Wanqing last time!"
Jiang Shuyi's eyes also lit up.
The nun was about thirty or forty years old. After coming in, she went straight to the bed, asked for a bowl of water, took out a white jade dropper from her bosom, dripped a few drops of something into it, shook it evenly, and fed it to Jiang Wanqing to drink.
Less than half an hour later, Jiang Wanqing showed signs of waking up.
Jiang Shuyi hurried forward and asked, "Wanqing, how are you?"
Jiang Wanqing opened her eyes with great effort. She seemed to want to say something, but she moved her lips with difficulty and ultimately could not utter a word.
"Don't be afraid, my sister is here. You will recover soon."
Jiang Shuyi imitated Pei Yan's way of coaxing herself, and touched her sister's head to coax her gently.
The nun who had been silent from the beginning suddenly spoke: "If the donors are unwilling to give up their relationship and are unwilling to let the third young lady go with me to practice asceticism, then this disease will never be cured."
Jiang Shuyi turned her head to look at the serious and old-fashioned nun, tightly grasped her sister's hand, and asked helplessly: "Can't you just cure my sister? I have money, and I can ask the prince to give you other rewards!"
The nun seemed unwilling to talk much to the children and only negotiated with Jiang Weiqing and his wife.
Jiang Shuyi was listening nearby. Her father meant that if his daughter went to practice Buddhism it would damage the family's reputation, so he would rather let Wanqing die than let her follow the nun!
"You can go practice!"
As soon as Jiang Shuyi said this, all three people in the room looked over.
Jiang Weiqing frowned: "Don't be silly. How can a daughter of an official family become a nun? If this gets out, how will others think of your father?"
"Father only cares about his reputation. He has never cared about the lives of us sisters!"
Jiang Shuyi was still somewhat afraid of her father, but she didn't care at this moment. She cried, "My elder sister has been killed by my father for his reputation. Is my father going to kill Wanqing now? Impossible! I have the support of my brother the crown prince now. My father can't control me anymore!"
Jiang Weiqing's expression was frozen for a rare moment, and Dou was so heartbroken that she was speechless when she thought of her biological daughter.
Jiang Shuyi protected her sister in front of the bed and said to the nun with tears in her eyes: "As long as you can cure my sister, I will let her go with you. I can make the decision and I keep my word!"
The nun seemed to be still a little hesitant, and only nodded in agreement after seeing that the Jiang couple remained silent.
After taking the medicine for three consecutive days, Jiang Wanqing finally went from being unconscious to being able to walk.
She leaned in Jiang Shuyi's arms and said softly: "Sister, I, I don't want to practice..."
Jiang Shuyi was much more stable when facing her sister. She held her hand and tried hard to hold back her tears. "Be obedient. It's not like you can't come back. When you reach the age of marriage, I'll find you a good husband and let you stay by my side every day, okay?"
Jiang Wanqing still didn't want to go. Although she was still young, she already knew what prosperity and poverty were from the comparisons she had experienced since childhood.
Before she could say anything else, Cheng Shouzhong suddenly ran over in a hurry, his eunuch hat tilted askew: "Oh no! Oh no! Miss Jiang, please go back to the palace quickly, His Highness is in trouble!"
Jiang Shuyi stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy and almost fainting.
*
Inside the Mingde Hall, palace maids were decocting medicine, and the room was filled with a bitter smell.
Pei Yan was in the bed tent in the inner hall. When Jiang Shuyi rushed over, she saw that his face was pale and sickly, but he was still forcing himself to look through the memorials.
Fortunately, it was not as bad as she had imagined.
Cheng Shouzhong's hasty report almost made Jiang Shuyi think that the prince was in danger...
But nowadays this is enough to worry people.
Jiang Shuyi walked forward and looked at the prince with red eyes.
Pei Yan put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, looked at her weakly, and smiled: "Who called you here? I have nothing to do, go back and take care of your sister."
When Jiang Shuyi heard his tone, her eyes immediately sparkled.
She climbed onto the bed, hugged the prince brother, and asked with sobs, "Does anyone take care of the prince brother?"
Pei Yan paused for a long time before he said softly, "My mother can take care of me."
"Oh, Your Highness, please stop being so stubborn. The Queen Mother has never loved you and even beat and scolded you when you were young. How could she take care of you?"
Cheng Shouzhong seemed heartbroken.
Pei Yan frowned and scolded: "Stop talking too much. Who allowed you to talk nonsense in front of her?"
Jiang Shuyi was so heartbroken that she was crying.
She hugged the prince brother who was a little cold tightly: "Sister is getting better now, I will stay here to take care of the prince brother!"
Pei Yan sighed: "Why do I need you to take care of me? I can do everything myself. It's just that I can't help feeling lonely when I'm sick. Maybe it will be better if you're by my side."
After Jiang Shuyi wiped her tears on him, she immediately looked up and promised: "I will always be with you, Prince! I won't let you be miserable!"
Pei Yan's eyes were moved, and he reached out to touch her head: "A Shu, you must keep your word."
Jiang Shuyi is a person who honors her promises.
She stayed with the Crown Prince day and night. There was a warm room separated in the Mingde Hall, and she slept in it. She fed the Crown Prince medicine during the day and told him stories at night. She would go to sleep only after he fell asleep.
But although the prince's illness seemed milder than Jiang Wanqing's, it was very stubborn and difficult to cure.
Five days later, her father sent a message to the palace, saying that Jiang Wanqing had completely recovered and was planning to go to Jiangnan with the nun, and asked her if she wanted to go and see her off.
Jiang Shuyi naturally had to go, but the prince's condition suddenly worsened at this time, and he even vomited blood.
She was so frightened that she lost half her soul, so how could she care about breaking willow branches to say goodbye.
Fortunately, Doctor Wang used acupuncture to save the prince's life.
Jiang Shuyi was still in shock, and dared not leave Pei Yan for even a step. She prayed to God day and night, asking the prince to wake up soon, even if it meant sacrificing her lifespan...
Perhaps God was grateful for her sincerity, and half a month later, Pei Yan was completely cured.
During the time when the prince was in a coma, the court was not very peaceful.
First the emperor was seriously ill, and then the prince suddenly fell ill, which made people wonder whether Dayuan's life was over and that fate was not on his side.
Although intelligent people do not believe this kind of statement, it can shake public opinion if it is spread.
Wen Huan, who was far away in Liangzhou, heard the news and began to lead his troops to attack the nearby provincial capital. His evil ambitions were known to everyone.
Fortunately, the nearby provincial capitals had already reinforced their military forces. Not only did Wen Huan fail to capture the city, he also lost a lot of soldiers. When his food and grass ran out, he had no choice but to return to the city. Unexpectedly, one of his deputy generals actually closed the city gate and shot arrows at him.
The deputy general smiled and said that he had already surrendered to the court.
Wen Huan was so angry that he wanted to shoot him with his bow, but he was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse and died.
At the same time, reinforcements from the imperial court arrived under the leadership of Guo Zhenxiong.
In just the time from dawn to dusk, all of Wen Huan's old subordinates who intended to resist stubbornly were slaughtered.
