Chapter 68: Lady Zhenbei Hou Faints
Before I knew it, it is already November. The days are getting shorter and shorter, and it gets dark faster and faster.
When Gu Chenran got the news and rushed to the Wanshiwu in the afternoon, the sun was still outside.
It was already dark outside and some people were lighting lamps on the road.
Gu Chenran suggested: "I see it's getting late, and the talismans and scented tea you prepared today have already been sold out. Why don't you close the shop early and go home? You've worked hard today."
"That's fine."
Wen Ling felt a sense of crisis because of the Lord of the World. He wanted to go home early and meditate and practice. Even if his recovery was slow, any recovery would be good.
Just as the two of them walked out side by side, Gu Chenran lifted the curtain of the carriage and Wen Ling was about to get on the carriage.
An anxious voice came from the carriage that had stopped hastily in front: "Wait, Princess, please wait!"
Wen Ling and Gu Chenran turned their heads to look over at the same time.
Wen Ling recognized him at a glance. The middle-aged man who jumped off the carriage anxiously and ran towards her with a worried look on his face was the butler who had visited the Zhenbei Marquis's family that day.
He trotted over, bowed, and said, "Princess, I am glad to meet you. Please, come to our house quickly. Something has happened to our wife!"
It turned out that the steward of Zhenbei Hou reported the matter immediately after returning home.
But the Marquis of Zhenbei had just retired from the battlefield, and he did not believe in such things as ghosts and monsters.
So I thought Princess Chen was just exaggerating and didn't take it seriously at all.
He also told the lady again about the lady who had asked the housekeeper to ask for talismans, implying that she just followed what others said and even believed this.
The wife of Marquis Zhenbei had no choice. Marquis Zhenbei was a stubborn and bad-tempered person. He could not change his mind about things and was too lazy to waste words on them.
Before going to bed at night, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei still put the talisman that the housekeeper brought back under her pillow.
As a result, she, who had suffered from insomnia for almost half a month, actually slept a full night and had a sound sleep that night.
But no one noticed that the color of the talisman had become darker.
The same thing happened the next day, and the wife of Marquis Zhenbei had another good sleep.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei said to him happily, "This talisman is really useful. I slept soundly for two consecutive days.
This talisman is a talisman for exorcising evil spirits. It indicates that there might really be something dirty in our house. Why don’t we ask Princess Chen to come and take a look?
I heard that the Princess of Chen is not someone that anyone can invite. I heard that last time the people from the family of the Vice Minister of Justice invited her, she said that they deserved it and it was retribution, and she was unwilling to go!
They have already said they are willing to come to our house to see us, which means we are quite lucky. ”
Zhenbei Hou was still very disdainful: "Oh, Madam, you didn't believe in these things when you were young. Why are you getting more superstitious as you get older?
These are all fancy tricks. If these dirty things could really harm people, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago?
Don't be suspicious. I think the prescription that the imperial physician changed for you two days ago took effect, which allowed you to sleep well. ”
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei knew this would happen.
But at the same time, she was wondering, could it be that the prescription was changed after the consultation with the Imperial Hospital?
She couldn't make up her mind for the moment, so she decided to observe the situation for a while. At worst, she could ask the housekeeper to go to the Wanshiwu to get the talisman to exorcise evil spirits.
I didn't expect that after waiting for another day, something happened on the third day, which is today.
This afternoon, the sun was just beginning to set.
After dinner, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei spent her time reading in her room.
I planned to read for a while, and when it was completely dark, I would wash up, copy some scriptures, and then go to sleep.
Usually at this time, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei liked to stay alone and let her personal maid stay outside.
Suddenly, the maid outside heard a scream from the wife of Marquis Zhenbei.
When they rushed in, they saw a big gray rat crawling out from under the bed of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei and running out without a trace.
Everyone who has seen a rat can guarantee that this is the biggest rat they have ever seen, as big as a cat, even bigger than an ordinary house cat.
After the big gray rat ran into the yard, it hid in the grass and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Later, they turned the entire mansion upside down, but still couldn't find the big rat.
After the scream, the wife of Marquis Zhenbei fainted on the bed, her nose was bleeding, and she fell into a deep coma.
After the Marquis of Zhenbei learned about this, he immediately invited people from the Imperial Hospital to come over.
As a result, after all the people from the Imperial Hospital examined the patient thoroughly, they couldn't tell what was going on.
Liu, the imperial physician who was recognized as the best in medical skills, saw that the Marquis of Zhenbei was extremely anxious, so he decided to tell the truth: "My Lord, to be honest, we really don't see any problems with the Marquis's health. Apart from being a little weak, there is really nothing wrong with her.
Before, he suffered from insomnia every night, and we had no other solution except to prescribe some tranquilizers.
Now he suddenly fell into a coma again, and we can't find out what's wrong with him.
Generally speaking, this situation is not likely to be caused by physical problems. It is likely to be caused by encountering some dirt or some other metaphysical reasons.
My suggestion is that you can ask an expert to take a look. It won’t be a big deal anyway. ”
After that, Imperial Physician Liu and the others prescribed some prescriptions to calm the nerves and replenish the body, and also gave her some silver needles. Since the Marquis' wife hadn't woken up yet, they had to leave the imperial physician on duty and return to the palace first.
It is impossible for all the people in the Imperial Hospital to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. The Emperor and the nobles in the palace may summon them to see patients at any time.
The housekeeper reminded the Marquis of Zhenbei at this time: "My Lord, why don't you ask Princess Chen to come and take a look? The Marquis's wife is in this state, and the imperial doctor can't see anything, so it's not a big deal!"
There was nothing the Marquis of Zhenbei could do about not believing it, the facts were right before his eyes.
Only then did he quickly send the old butler out to invite Wen Ling, which led to the scene at the door of the Wanshiwu.
When Wen Ling heard that the wife of Marquis Zhenbei was unconscious, he followed the butler to the Marquis Zhenbei Mansion.
Gu Chenran knew that the Marquis of Zhenbei was a hot-tempered and stubborn man, and was worried that Wen Ling would be bullied over there, so he followed him.
The two were in the carriage, listening to the old butler tell them what had happened in the past three days and how the marquis's wife fainted.
Gu Chenran snorted coldly: "If I had known that the Marquis of Zhenbei didn't trust my wife so much, I should have let him wait a little longer."
