In fact, Ren Yaoqi did not know this doctor, he only found out when he casually asked the guard when he came in.
The doctor belonged to Xiao Jingxi. He was also a very intelligent man. Upon noticing Ren Yaoqi had called him by name, and seeing Madam Xu standing behind her without saying anything, he immediately stood up and came over, bowing respectfully. Then he stood up and said, "To answer your question, Miss Zhou just had a cold that hadn't healed yet, and she was hit by a mild breeze today, which is why she fainted. It's not serious. I've already had someone give her some food, and she'll be awake soon. Don't worry, Miss."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked a few more questions in a gentle tone, and the doctor answered them one by one.
The ladies present watched as the doctor from the Yanbei Palace addressed Ren Yaoqi as "subordinate" and treated her with such respect. They all felt that although Miss Ren hadn't yet married into the Yanbei Palace, she was likely well-liked by everyone there, and their emotions were mixed. Just now, Doctor Liu had been very casual with the eldest daughter of the Yun family.
Yan Ningshuang's gaze had been fixed on Ren Yaoqi since she entered, but because she was facing away from the light, her facial expression was unclear. Ren Yaoqi naturally noticed her gaze, but pretended not to notice.
Yun Qiuchen, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, maintained a perfect smile from beginning to end. However, such a perfect smile made it impossible to guess what was really in the eldest daughter's mind.
Mrs. Xu saw that her intention had been fulfilled, so she asked, "Doctor Liu, do you think we should send Miss Zhou back now, or should she rest here for a while and then be sent back after she wakes up?"
Doctor Liu said, "Let's wait until she wakes up. I'll give her a few more injections later. It would be best if I could give her one or two more."
Madam Xu looked at Ren Yaoqi again, and Ren Yaoqi nodded and said, "That's fine, let's wait here."
After a while, Miss Zhou did indeed slowly wake up, but she was still a little dazed and her face still looked terrible. Doctor Liu quickly gave her another bowl of medicine, then took out a few needles and gave her a few injections. Not long after, Miss Zhou's face improved.
Madam Xu and Ren Yaoqi went over to see her. Miss Zhou was fully conscious and said that she had caught a cold on the way to Yanbei, but recovered later so she didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, it relapsed again today.
"Come to think of it, several young ladies are sick. Miss Li and Miss Lu did not go out today due to illness, and now Miss Zhao and Miss Zhou are also sick." A lady whispered.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qiuchen asked Doctor Liu with some concern, "I heard that colds can be contagious to others. With so many young ladies sick, won't it be okay for them to live together?"
After Yun Qiuchen said this, Doctor Liu couldn't help but hesitate. Yun Qiuchen's worries were somewhat justified. These young ladies were already weak, and if they passed the infection on to me and I passed it on to you, it would be endless. However, after glancing at Ren Yaoqi and Madam Xu, he still replied tactfully, "Well, if you take proper precautions, it shouldn't be so easy to get infected."
Yan Ningshuang said, "So there's a possibility of mutual infection?"
Doctor Liu thought about it and nodded.
Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "It seems that it would be better for us to live separately. After all, the Thousand Gold Banquet hasn't arrived yet. If we all fall ill now, I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill the Queen Mother's will. Miss Ren, what do you think?"
