In the inner courtyard of Tianxiang Tower, Jiang Qianqian led Xu Yuehuai on a careful inspection. The entire building was simple yet elegant, with every corner in perfect order, exuding vitality. A steady stream of customers came and went, their voices hushed and their laughter rising and falling, revealing the thriving business of Tianxiang Tower.
As far as Xu Yuehuai’s eyes fell, she saw a scene of prosperity. She exclaimed, “Qianqian, you have truly lived up to my expectations. You have managed Tianxiang Restaurant so well.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qianqian blushed and lowered her head shyly, saying softly, "Grandma, this is not my achievement, but a legacy you left me. I was just doing my bit."
Xu Yuehuai gently shook her head, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "No, Qianqian, I see your efforts. Your intelligence and perseverance are the key to Tianxianglou's prosperity. But you must also take care of your health. You are pregnant now, so you can't overwork yourself like before."
Hearing this, Jiang Qianqian felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded gently and said with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, I will be careful."
Just as the two were about to leave, Jiang Qianqian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuehuai was startled and quickly stepped forward to support her, asking with concern, "Qianqian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Qianqian gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "Grandma, I...I have a stomachache."
Xu Yuehuai dared not delay for a moment and immediately ordered the servants to help Jiang Qianqian to a private room in Tianxiang Tower to rest. She sat on the edge of the bed, holding Jiang Qianqian's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety. She gently comforted her, "Qianqian, you must hold on. I'll go find the Ghost Doctor right away."
After speaking, Xu Yuehuai turned to leave. However, at that moment, Zhao Yuanhao rushed over. Seeing the anxious expressions on Xu Yuehuai and Jiang Qianqian's faces, he immediately asked, "Your Highness, what happened to Qianqian?"
Xu Yuehuai briefly explained the situation to him. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanhao's face darkened, and he immediately said, "I'll go and fetch the Ghost Doctor right away."
Before long, the Ghost Doctor was invited to Tianxiang Tower. After carefully examining Jiang Qianqian's condition, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "This... the fetus in her womb has accumulated cold energy, and the situation is not good."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened. She gripped the Ghost Doctor's hand tightly and said urgently, "Ghost Doctor, you must save her. I will find any medicine she needs."
The Ghost Doctor sighed and shook his head: "I'll try my best, but I don't have any Fire Feather Grass on hand right now. This herb can dispel cold, but it's very rare, and I don't have any in stock."
Xu Yuehuai immediately said, "I will send people to search for it right away. We must find the Fire Feather Grass no matter what."
The Ghost Doctor nodded: "Alright, go find her as soon as possible. I'll prescribe some medicine to stabilize her condition."
Xu Yuehuai immediately arranged for people to search for Fire Feather Grass, while she personally stayed by Jiang Qianqian's side. Seeing Jiang Qianqian's pained expression, her heart ached as if being torn apart. She gently stroked Jiang Qianqian's forehead and whispered, "Qianqian, you must hold on. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Time ticked by, and Xu Yuehuai grew increasingly anxious. She knew that if she couldn't find the Fire Feather Grass soon, both Jiang Qianqian and the baby in her womb would be in mortal danger.
As Xu Yuehuai's anxiety churned like a tangled mess, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. She looked up and saw Yan Qing rushing in, covered in sweat, clutching a gleaming, exquisite box in his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Your Highness, I've found it!" Yan Qing said breathlessly, a joyful smile on his face, as if he had accomplished some great mission.
Xu Yuehuai immediately stood up from her seat, strode over to Yan Qing, and took the heavy box. She carefully opened the lid and saw a fiery red herb lying quietly inside. Its vibrant color was like a burning flame; it was the Fire Feather Grass she desperately needed.
"This...this really is Fire Feather Grass?" Xu Yuehuai's voice trembled with disbelief.
“That’s right, Your Highness. I personally went to that cliff outside the city and went through many hardships to pick it,” Yan Qing said proudly, his face full of pride.
Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed and immediately handed the Fire Feather Grass to the Ghost Doctor standing to the side. The Ghost Doctor took the herb, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes. He examined the Fire Feather Grass carefully, as if admiring a rare treasure.
"Great! With this Fire Feather Grass, I can save her," the Ghost Doctor said in a deep voice, his voice full of confidence.
Without further delay, he immediately got to work, placing the Fire Feather Grass into a pot and adding other medicinal herbs to simmer. Soon, a rich medicinal aroma filled the entire room. The Ghost Doctor carefully controlled the heat, ensuring the medicine could fully exert its effects.
Finally, a steaming bowl of medicine was ready. Xu Yuehuai personally brought the medicine to Jiang Qianqian's bedside and gently helped her sit up. Jiang Qianqian still looked very weak, but when she saw Xu Yuehuai's concerned eyes, she managed to force a smile.
"Qianqian, drink this medicine quickly," Xu Yuehuai said softly, bringing the bowl of medicine to Jiang Qianqian's lips.
Jiang Qianqian nodded and obediently drank the medicine. The liquid, cool as it went down her throat, seemed to dispel the chill within her. Soon after, Jiang Qianqian's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her stomach pain subsided. She gently opened her eyes, looking at Xu Yuehuai and Zhao Yuanhao's concerned gazes, and felt a surge of emotion.
"Ghost Doctor, Grandma, Yuan Hao, I'm alright now, thank you all." Jiang Qianqian's voice was weak, but full of gratitude.
Xu Yuehuai and Zhao Yuanhao exchanged a smile, their anxiety dissipating. They knew this was all thanks to Yan Qing's bravery and the Ghost Doctor's superb medical skills.
"Your Highness, Young Master Zhao, although the Fire Feather Grass can dispel the cold, Jiang Qianqian's body still needs proper care," the Ghost Doctor said from the side, as he began preparing follow-up tonics for Jiang Qianqian.
"Okay, I'm leaving everything to you, Ghost Doctor." Xu Yuehuai said solemnly. She knew that Ghost Doctor was a highly skilled doctor, and with him there, Jiang Qianqian would definitely recover completely.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor busy at work, Zhao Yuanhao immediately bowed deeply to them and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Then, he walked to Jiang Qianqian's bedside and said softly, "Qianqian, let me take you back to the Zhao residence to rest for a while."
Jiang Qianqian nodded, knowing that Zhao Yuanhao was doing it for her own good. Then, Zhao Yuanhao picked her up, and they left Tianxiang Tower together.
