Chapter 215 He Left All His Tenderness to Her
Shen Qingtan looked at the silver-haired old lady. She remembered that when she forced the second wife to give up the dowry, she was worried that the old lady would see through her intentions and become displeased with her.
The old lady's eyes were warm, and she lovingly comforted her: "It's not a bad thing to be scheming and cunning, as long as you can distinguish between good and evil."
When she first entered the palace, the old lady was wearing a royal robe, with her back straight and her demeanor majestic.
At this time, the old lady's eyes were dim and sad, and her back was hunched.
Shen Qingtan's nose suddenly felt sore. The fight between children and grandchildren would hurt the elderly elders the most.
Shen Qingtan said softly, "Grandma, Grandpa punished Second Aunt, and this matter is over."
The Duke gave up on the second branch and removed it from the family tree.
From now on, she doesn't have to worry about the Duke's Mansion, and she won't be restricted when dealing with people from the second house.
"People don't learn their lesson until they fall hard. Your second uncle was born with this kind of personality. He only sees the good and forgets the times when he was punished and suffered."
The old lady wiped her eyes with her hand and said bitterly, "The medicine was deliberately released to find out who was trying to harm Yi'er. I never thought that the second wife would be one of them."
She steeled her heart and said, "They are going to be grandparents. They should pay the price for what they have done."
Shen Qingtan didn't respond to the old lady's words, but supported her arm and said, "Grandma, you and Grandpa have come all the way here, and you've been so worried about us. Why don't you go to the dormitory and rest for a while?"
Having said this, Shen Qingtan looked at the Duke and said, "Second Master's condition has improved. Will your granddaughter-in-law send someone to inform you?"
The Duke and the Old Lady knew that if they stayed here, they would only be a burden, so they agreed.
The Duke said, "Take good care of Yi'er, and don't worry about us two old people."
Shen Qingtan nodded and arranged for Liu Yue and Jiang Mu to escort the Duke and the old lady back to their quarters.
Liu Yue was in a trance and still feeling the shock. When he helped the old lady out of the house, he glanced at Jiang with red eyes and left without looking back.
The only people left in the room were the eldest lady, Jiang, Tingxue, Jiang Chao, the court physician, and Zhao Yi lying on the hospital bed.
Jiang knelt down and crawled to Shen Qingtan's feet, asking Shen Qingtan to show mercy and let her son go.
Shen Qingtan gave Jiang Chao a look.
Jiang Chao grabbed Jiang's arm and dragged her out.
Jiang wanted to struggle.
Jiang Chao's eyes widened: "If you want your son to die, go ahead and make a fuss."
Jiang was so scared that she shut her mouth.
Tingxue saw Jiang Chao dragging Jiang away and quickly closed the door.
Shen Qingtan sat back on the bed, looking at Zhao Yi's flushed face. She held his fingers, which were still burning hot. His body temperature was always cold, but now it was so hot. It was obvious that he was in pain.
He took the Huadu Pill once every three months, and just by taking this pill, he had to endure painful torture four times a year.
"Yier had to take medicine a few days ago. He was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable seeing him like this, so he planned to let you stay in Zhenbei Palace for a few days."
The eldest lady stood by the bed, watching Zhao Yi's forehead oozing with cold sweat and bulging veins. Even in his coma, he was still enduring the pain.
"I thought to myself that he probably wants you to be by his side at this time."
As if in response to the eldest lady's words, Zhao Yi's fingers held Shen Qingtan's hand.
Shen Qingtan's tears, which had been held back, suddenly burst out.
She remembered last night, before Liu Yue confessed, Zhao Yi said to her: "Fourth Uncle will be back home tomorrow, we will have a reunion dinner together, and you can go back to the Zhenbei Palace to stay for a few days and spend more time with your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
She asked, "What about you?"
Zhao Yi said, "The envoys from Northern Qi will soon arrive in Great Zhou, and I'm a bit busy with official duties. After I'm done, I'll come and take you home."
When she met her parents, Zhao Yi asked her to spend more time with them.
They had been separated for many years, and her parents wanted to spend more time with her, but because she was married, they couldn't force her to stay.
When Zhao Yi brought it up this time, she didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.
Who knew he wanted to hide it from her and endure the pain of taking the medicine alone.
He is so stupid.
He hid all his bad sides and faced them alone, and gave all his tenderness to her.
The eldest lady looked at Shen Qingtan who was trying hard to hold back her tears, but the more she tried, the more uncontrollable her tears became, and big drops rolled down her cheeks.
She felt bad too, having taken the last pill and never finding Zhong Yuan again...
The eldest lady wiped her moist eyes with a handkerchief and left quietly.
The court doctor and Tingxue walked out of the dormitory and stood guard at the door.
Only Shen Qingtan and Zhao Yi were left in the room.
Shen Qingtan wiped away her tears, trying to ease his pain.
The court doctor had previously said that there was no way to relieve the symptoms and he could only rely on himself to endure it.
If the condition is better, you will feel better after one night's sleep. You will feel weaker in the next few days. You can add a few more medicines to the original prescription to regulate your body and slowly recuperate.
Seeing that his lips were very dry, she took a porcelain spoon, dipped it in water, and used the wet spoon to smear his lips. After repeating this several times, she put down the spoon.
Shen Qingtan pulled out his hand, and his fingers curled up as if trying to keep him.
With her free hand, she wiped the sweat off his face and whispered in his ear, "Erlang, I'll give you a massage on the head. You should feel better."
Zhao Yi seemed to have heard it and loosened his fingers.
Shen Qingtan sat on the bamboo chair beside the bed, leaning against his pillow, massaging his forehead with measured pressure. This method seemed to really work, and the space between his eyebrows slowly relaxed.
Tingxue stood in front of the window, watching Shen Qingtan pressing Zhao Yi's head again and again, praying in her heart that Zhongyuan would come to the capital soon.
-
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The Second Lady's face was pale as she walked back to Mingde Hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The second master came out of the room and saw the second lady's distraught look. He chuckled and said, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
The second wife's face changed, and she didn't dare to look at the second master out of guilt.
The second master feared most that he would be separated from the mansion. Now, not only was he separated from the mansion, but he was also expelled from the clan.
I wonder how he would react if he knew the truth.
She hasn't figured out how to confess to the second master yet.
"I... I'm fine." The Second Lady lied, "Erlang was ill. I came back from the temple and the horses pulling the carriage got spooked, and they scared me."
When the second master heard the news that Zhao Yi was ill, he remembered what Chen Yuanshi said about Zhao Yi's condition being serious and that he would definitely not be able to be saved.
He thought to himself, Zhao Yi could have lived until this winter, but now he can't. Could it be that his fate is too weak to support his status as the grandson of the emperor?
The second master quickly asked, "What's going on with Erlang?"
The Second Madam was vague: "The palace doctor didn't say anything." She was afraid that the Second Master would notice something was wrong, so she quickly said: "I'll go to the storehouse and get a ginseng for Erlang."
After saying this, she hurried to the warehouse.
When the Duke returns home, he will immediately kick them out. She has some things that she must deal with in advance.
As soon as she entered the warehouse, she bolted the door, moved the two large boxes against the wall, lifted the wooden floor, revealing a square entrance.
