Chapter 570: Fighting (Part 1)
Xie Anbai subconsciously turned around and looked at Ye Chutang.
"Miss Ye Er, my father is--"
"Second Young Master, please be patient. I will check the Marquis' pulse first."
Ye Chutang spoke in a gentle voice, then took another step forward and sat down.
Xie Pei spat out several mouthfuls of black blood, his face was extremely pale, and he finally lay down again. He looked like he had greatly overdrawn his strength and even his mind was not very clear.
Ye Chutang studied his face and reached out to feel his pulse.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
While feeling his pulse, Ye Chutang asked, "Have you eaten any spicy food in the past few days, Lord?"
Xie Anjun was startled, then subconsciously looked at Xiao Jiayi.
Xiao Jiayi shook her head: "No. The Marquis has a poor appetite recently, and only eats some porridge and side dishes every day."
Ye Chutang asked again: "Have you ever drunk alcohol?"
Xiao Jiayi paused for a moment before saying, "It seems so."
Ye Chutang raised his eyes: "Seems?"
"The Marquis loved wine in his early years, but later his health was not good. The doctor advised him to drink less, and he really stopped drinking. But..." Xiao Jiayi frowned slightly, "It's just that recently, a servant smelled alcohol coming from the study. Maybe it was the Marquis who opened it."
Xie Anjun was shocked: "How come I don't know about this!?"
Xiao Jiayi didn't even look at him, she just said coldly: "The prince is busy with affairs, so naturally he won't remember these little things."
"You——" Xie Anjun was ridiculed by her in public, and his face was very embarrassed, but this was not the time to care about it, he could only suppress his anger, "I have warned you before that father can't drink! Why don't you know how to persuade him?!"
Xiao Jiayi almost sneered out loud.
"I can't enter the Marquis' study. He was drinking alone in there, how could I know? Moreover, it's just a few rumors, maybe a joke among the servants. I haven't verified it, so how can I care?"
Xie Anjun choked, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Xiao Jiayi is a princess, born into a wealthy family, and has a noble status, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion is also a high-ranking family. Although Xie Pei had handed over his military power long ago, he still has a very high prestige in the army and the court.
He still has the final say in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion.
Without his permission, Xiao Jiayi really couldn't enter the study.
Even if Xie Anjun wanted to blame her for this, he couldn't.
What's more, he has been living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day recently, so how could he have known that such a thing would happen in the mansion?
Ye Chutang's gaze lingered between the two of them, as if he was thinking about something.
It was rumored that the couple had become estranged, especially after Xiao Chengxuan and Jiang Qingmei had their accidents. Xiao Jiayi had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion, and the two had had several fights.
Now it seems that the management of such a huge mansion is in chaos, which is indeed very bad.
Xie Anbai didn't care about their argument. He just stared at Ye Chutang and asked, "Why? Is my father like this because of drinking?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
"My Lord is worried and sad, overworked, and has liver disease, qi stagnation and blood stasis. This time, it must be because he drank alcohol again, which induced the vomiting of blood."
Xie Anbai's heart was in suspense: "Then, then - is there any prescription to cure it?"
Ye Chutang's voice was gentle and calm, carrying the power to soothe people:
"This disease cannot be cured in a day or two, but judging from the Marquis's condition, it is not yet life-threatening. I will prescribe a recipe for loess soup later. Simmer it every day and give it to the Marquis. Continue for a month and the symptoms will be alleviated. But if you want to recover completely..."
Ye Chutang paused.
Xie Pei's condition is not optimistic. His spleen and stomach are out of harmony, and his liver also has problems. I'm afraid his condition is difficult to recover from.
Even with medication, it is difficult to cure it completely.
Xie Anbai understood what she meant.
He took a deep breath and said, "I trust the medical skills of Miss Ye Er. If even you can't help, then there is really no one else to turn to. I don't dare to hope that my father's illness can be cured quickly, but for now, as long as I can help him relieve some of his pain, it will be good."
Ye Chutang nodded.
"I will give you acupuncture first to stop your vomiting blood."
Xie Anbai immediately stepped back to make way: "Please."
Ye Chutang took out needles and cloth from the medicine box he brought with him.
Seeing the silver needle with a cold glow, Xie Anjun frowned tightly.
"Are you absolutely sure? What if my father's condition gets worse after this injection?"
Ye Chutang paused, then chuckled.
"If the prince doesn't trust me, I will leave now."
Xie Anjun's face suddenly became uncomfortable: "I didn't say that! I, I'm just worried--"
Ye Chutang has been going to the palace for several days to treat Emperor Mu Wu. Now she is highly valued. Who dares to openly question her?
Even if Xie Anjun disliked her, he would never say this out loud.
Xie Anbai said coldly: "If there are any consequences, I will bear them all!"
When Xie Anjun heard this, a look of sarcasm appeared on his face.
"How dare you say such a thing? If you hadn't been idle and dissolute all day, causing trouble outside again and again, how could your father drink to relieve his boredom!"
In everyone's opinion, the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is weak but talented, while the second son is young and unreliable, and does not do anything serious all day long. Naturally, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery values his eldest son very much, but is disappointed with the second son.
On normal days, Xie Anbai would not take any criticism to heart at all. He was too lazy to argue with his elder brother.
But today is different!
"Why did Dad break his vow and drink to drown his sorrows? Big brother, you should know better than me, right?" Xie Anbai smiled coldly, "It is normal for me not to go home. I go out every few days. Father has never been to this extent! Instead, you——"
His gaze fell on Xiao Jiayi, who also had an icy expression on her face, and he spoke every word.
"I'm afraid the trouble in your yard has not been resolved yet?"
If Xiao Jiayi hadn't been asking Marquis Zhongyong to plead for Xiao Chengxuan and Jiang Qingmei, causing so much annoyance to everyone, how could the current situation have happened!
Even Xie Anjun is not clean!
"You!" Xie Anjun's face suddenly changed as his pain point was touched. "How dare you! Do you still have me as your big brother in your eyes? You——"
"The Marquis needs to rest. If you want to argue, please go out and leave the Marquis alone."
A light voice sounded, like the gurgling of cold snow water, which immediately made Xie Anjun shut his mouth.
He glanced at the loyal and brave marquis who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain. He swallowed his words back, and left with a flick of his sleeves!
Xiao Jiayi stared at Ye Chutang for a few seconds, then looked at Xie Anbai again, speaking in a calm tone with no emotion in her voice:
"Since the Second Young Master trusts Miss Ye so much, then - I hope everything goes as the Second Young Master wishes."
