In a hurry just now, she pulled out the pearl hairpin from her hair, and before she could react, the pearl hairpin had already been inserted into Zhong Mingzheng's chest.
"Come... someone come!" Da'an's pale lips trembled for a long time before she finally made a sound. As soon as she shouted, she couldn't help but slap the ground and cried, "Someone come quickly! Something happened!"
…
Qin Lu was called back from the Imperial Hospital by the housekeeper today.
"What's wrong?" Qin Lu came out of the Imperial Hospital. His face was not good. Qin Lu had always been strict with himself and never allowed personal matters to interfere with official business. He had been the head of the Imperial Hospital for so many years. This was the first time he was called back by his own housekeeper.
"Master, the Madam has fainted! Please go back and see her!" The old housekeeper was sweating all over in the winter, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke. "I know I shouldn't come to the palace to disturb, but seeing the Madam fainted, I can't do anything! Master, please go back and see the Madam!"
The old housekeeper was brought up by Madam Qin from her natal family. He had been the housekeeper in the Qin residence for nearly thirty years. He was very loyal to Qin Lu and his wife.
"Why did you suddenly faint?" Qin Lu's heart was in his throat. While he was busy getting on the carriage, he kept asking. "Did you take the medicine on time?"
Mrs. Qin missed her son so much that she had always been in poor health. The sight of the half-broken finger last time made her even more traumatized. She had not been able to get out of bed these days. She cried all day long and could only hold on by taking the pills prepared by Qin Lu himself.
"Madam, you ate it, but it didn't work," the butler replied to Qin Lu while driving the horse. Suddenly, the butler slapped his thigh hard, then turned back to Qin Lu and said, "By the way, Master, just now a young man sent a brocade box to our Qin Mansion, saying that he was entrusted by someone to send us something good as the year is coming to an end. I gave the brocade box to Madam, and not long after, Madam fainted. I don't know if it has anything to do with the brocade box."
Qin Lu frowned and asked, "What's in that brocade box?"
"That brocade box was very luxurious, carved from golden nanmu. I thought there must be some great treasure inside, so I didn't dare to open it without permission. When the lady fainted, the whole room was filled with maids and servants, and I was also anxious, so I didn't think of checking the brocade box," the old housekeeper looked regretful and kept blaming himself, "It's all my fault. I'm old and useless..."
"Okay, stop talking and go home first." Qin Lu said in a deep voice, closing the carriage door with a "bang".
…
Qin Mansion.
When Qin Lu came back, Madam Qin had already woken up and was lying on the bed wiping her tears. There was a little maid sitting in front of the bed to keep her company, but no matter how the maid tried to comfort her, Madam Qin kept crying. When the maid was getting panicked, she heard footsteps outside. She turned around and saw Qin Lu walking in.
"Master! You are finally back!" The maid was very excited. She hurried forward and helped Qin Lu take off his heavy cloak while whispering to him, "Master, the lady seems to have been stimulated by something. She has been silent since she woke up. Please go and take a look."
"I understand. You go down first." Qin Lu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Then the little maid bowed and left.
Qin Lu walked into the bedroom and sat down beside the bed. He reached out and held Madam Qin's hand. He leaned over and asked softly, "Why did you faint for no reason?"
