Chapter 63 Watching the Show
Although the old lady was comforting Ji Shi, she herself was even more anxious than Ji Shi at this moment.
Pearl Mingyu looked at Gu Shuyan's tightly closed eyes, feeling worried and full of doubt.
Miss Mingming didn't drink the ginseng soup that was sent over there, so how could she have fainted?
"How exactly did you two take care of Miss? Why did she suddenly faint for no reason?"
Seeing the two of them looking stunned and unable to react, Wu's mother spoke up before her master could speak.
Rather than having the masters inquire about this matter, it would be more appropriate for Wu's mother to ask about it, both publicly and privately.
Upon hearing this, Pearl and Mingyu immediately knelt down. "Madam, Madam, we have always served Miss with all our might, but we really don't know why Miss fainted."
"You serve the young lady personally, and everything she eats, wears, and uses passes through your hands. How could you not know?"
Before Wu's mother could speak again, a sudden voice came from outside.
Then, Aunt Qiao, dressed in a bright red brocade robe with carved patterns, slowly walked in.
Compared to the day she first arrived at the Marquis's residence, Aunt Qiao is now a completely different person. And this change is not just in her clothing, but in something that emanates from her very being.
When she first entered the manor, she exuded a sharp and mean aura. Now, she has become more and more in line with her identity, resembling a vixen from a play.
What are you doing here?
The old lady still disliked Aunt Qiao.
But Auntie didn't care about any of that. She curtsied gracefully to the old lady and said, "I heard that Miss suddenly fainted, so I came to see her."
Aunt Qiao pretended to be worried, but she was secretly overjoyed.
If it weren't for that little bitch Gu Shuyan, how could she have gone from being the Second Madam of Gu to a mere concubine? Daring to block her path, she deserved to be schemed against.
Yes, in Aunt Qiao's opinion, Gu Shuyan's inexplicable fainting was a setup.
The old lady had no interest in paying attention to Aunt Qiao's amused attitude.
Looking at Zhao Mama beside her, the old lady said, "Go see why the imperial physician hasn't arrived yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother withdrew and, a moment later, led the imperial physician who had rushed over into the room.
"This humble official greets the old lady."
The imperial physician, who was in his fifties, bowed to the old lady as soon as he entered the room. Although the old lady did not hold an official position, she was a first-rank imperial consort, which is why the old physician made this gesture.
"Doctor Hu, there's no need for such formalities. Please trouble yourself to take a look at my little granddaughter."
As the old lady spoke, she hurriedly led Physician Hu to Gu Shuyan's side. Looking at Gu Shuyan, who seemed to be asleep, Physician Hu first pried open her eyes to take a look before taking her pulse.
After a long while, Physician Hu withdrew his hand with a grave expression.
"Doctor Hu, how is she?"
Looking at Physician Hu's expression, Ji suddenly had a bad feeling.
Upon hearing this, Physician Hu did not immediately answer her question, but instead gestured for everyone to go outside.
Once outside, Physician Hu said, "To be honest, Miss Gu's condition is likely due to poisoning."
"Poisoning?"
Both the old lady and Madam Ji were startled upon hearing this, especially the old lady. Looking at the table full of food that had barely been touched, she hurriedly said, "Quickly bring all the food over so that Physician Hu can take a look and see if there is anything wrong with the food."
Seeing this, Physician Hu quickly waved his hand, "Madam, don't worry. Judging from Miss Gu's current condition, she was not poisoned today."
