Chapter 97: Human Figure
"Madam! Madam!" As Yin Ping stepped into Songqing Hall, she saw Wang leaning weakly against Jiang Zhaoyue. She hurried over and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"Yinping, hurry up and help mother into the bedroom." Jiang Zhaoyue took the opportunity to push the heavy Wang onto Yinping, and she felt relieved instantly.
Yinping struggled to carry Wang into the bedroom and put her on the bed. Then she asked anxiously, "Madam, Madam, what happened to Madam?"
Zhang Siyin said, "I don't know."
"I don't know either." Jiang Zhaoyue quickly replied, "We were talking to Mother peacefully when she suddenly fell over and hit the back of her head hard on the vase."
Zhang Siyin nodded hurriedly.
Jiang Zhaoyue followed up, "Maybe he was too worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his blood circulation suddenly became blocked."
"It's possible. Mother has always cared about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Siyin said.
"Well, the court doctor will be here soon and can check on mother," Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Zhang Siyin nodded.
At this time, Madam Qi came in with Physician Lu and Physician Sun.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately relayed what he had just said to the two palace doctors.
"Mother has been copying scriptures at home these days, not eating meat and not getting any sun. Is she too weak?" Zhang Siyin added.
"It's very likely." said the doctor from the Lu Mansion.
The Sun Mansion Doctor said, "Madam's pulse is indeed a little weak, so it's normal for her to faint suddenly."
Doctor Lu nodded.
"Is mother okay?" Zhang Siyin asked.
"Don't worry, Madam Crown Prince, you are just a little weak." said the doctor from the Lu Mansion.
Zhang Siyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Jiang Zhaoyue would hurt her mother-in-law. When the time came, her father-in-law would take it seriously and investigate carefully, and he would be able to find out what Jiang Zhaoyue had done. Now that her mother-in-law was fine, everything could be covered up.
"However, Madam, you should eat more meat, get some sun, and walk around," said the doctor. "That will help you feel better."
"What Doctor Sun said is correct." Zhang Siyin responded.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and said to Yinping and Aunt Qi, "Did you hear what the palace doctor said?"
Yinping and Aunt Qi were confused.
Jiang Zhaoyue said seriously, "If you hear that, then urge your mother more, understand?"
Yin Ping and Aunt Qi really couldn't find any fault with Jiang Zhaoyue's words, so they could only lower their heads and reply, "Yes, Second Madam."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked the two court doctors again, "When will mother wake up?"
"I guess it will be afternoon." said the doctor from Lu Mansion.
"Do you want some medicine?"
"I'll prescribe some medicine to replenish qi and blood later."
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."
“It should be.”
Jiang Zhaoyue turned to Yinping and ordered, "Follow the two palace doctors to get the medicine."
"Yes." Yinping followed the doctors Lu and Sun and left.
Aunt Qi suddenly remembered the purpose of the two court doctors coming: "Second Madam, they haven't examined you yet."
"I'm in good health. Let me take care of my mother first," said Jiang Zhaoyue.
“But you…”
"I am just so filial." Jiang Zhaoyue said it as if it were true.
Aunt Qi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhang Siyin wanted to laugh.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Aunt Qi very seriously: "Aunt Qi, look, mother suddenly fainted, eldest brother fell, and I am pregnant again. There is no way for us to enter the palace, right?"
"Yes." Aunt Qi replied.
Jiang Zhaoyue then said, "Sister-in-law, you see, Aunt Qi said that she can't enter the palace. Why don't you send someone to politely refuse the Third Prince's consort?"
"Okay." Zhang Siyin agreed quickly.
No... Madam Qi felt like she had fallen into Jiang Zhaoyue's trap. She quickly said, "Second Madam, didn't I say I can't enter the palace?"
"Madame Qi, do you mean I can enter the palace?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked back.
"No, I am just a small servant, my words are not taken seriously——"
"Madam Qi, please stop saying that. You are my mother's mouth, you are my mother's eyes, you are one of the most important people to my mother. My sister-in-law and I should respect you, and we should listen to what you say." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"That's right." Zhang Siyin agreed.
"Sister-in-law, you understand the ways of the world better, so I'll leave the matter of politely declining the third prince's wife to you," Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Zhang Siyin nodded: "Then I'll go first."
"Sister-in-law, go slower." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Zhang Siyin left.
Jiang Zhaoyue stayed for a while, holding her stomach and saying she felt uncomfortable, then she went back to Linhua Courtyard to eat, drink and sleep. Guessing that Wang was about to wake up, she and Zhang Siyin came to Wang's bedside again.
After Wang woke up, she felt dazed.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Zhang Sijian spoke one after another, saying that she had been copying scriptures behind closed doors these days and it was too tiring. One of her legs lost its balance and she bumped into a vase and passed out.
Wang was caught off guard and fainted. She had no idea what was happening and subconsciously looked at Madam Qi.
"That's what the court doctor said," said Madam Qi.
Wang Shi had indeed felt weak these past few days, so she said nothing more. Suddenly, she remembered the matter of chanting sutras for the prince, and asked, "Who came into the palace to chant sutras?"
"Mother, no one came into the palace to recite scriptures." Zhang Siyin said.
"We discussed it with Aunt Qi and politely declined the offer of being the Third Prince's consort." Jiang Zhaoyue pointed at Aunt Qi and said, "If mother doesn't believe me, you can ask Aunt Qi."
I knew it!
I knew it!
I knew the trap was here!
But at that time, the Crown Prince's wife and the Second Mistress spoke one sentence at a time, and Madam Qi could not find any flaws to refute them, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Wang was extremely angry.
"Mother, you're not feeling well." Jiang Zhaoyue said with a concerned look, "Don't be angry!"
"Yes, the Third Prince's wife didn't blame us. When you were unconscious this morning, my daughter-in-law had already recited scriptures for the Crown Prince to express her love." Zhang Siyin said.
Jiang Zhaoyue agreed: "God is so kind, he will definitely not mind our occasional absence."
Wang, however, gave Jiang Zhaoyue a look.
Jiang Zhaoyue pretended not to see it.
Wang became even angrier.
Zhang Siyin comforted Wang: "Mother, you have been too weak recently and need to rest well. Your Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with good fortune and will get better and better."
Wang turned to look at Zhang Siyin and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the only way."
Zhang Siyin said some nice words again.
Wang finally felt better.
Zhang Siyin and Jiang Zhaoyue left Songqingtang together and couldn't help laughing. But then he thought of the current situation and became serious at the same time.
"What about my third and fourth brothers?" Zhang Siyin asked.
"Sister You said that we don't need to worry about my third and fourth brothers." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Well, we will take care of the other people in the mansion these days and not let them hinder father and second brother."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
"Then your belly..." Zhang Siyin looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's flat abdomen.
"Don't worry about the details, just get through this first."
Seeing Jiang Zhaoyue's understanding of the importance of things, Zhang Siyin felt more and more secure and nodded: "Okay."
But Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't see Pei Jingzhou for a long time, and she felt a little uneasy. After two days of peace and quiet, she became more and more uneasy. She lay in bed at night, tossing and turning until late at night.
The lights in Linhua Courtyard have been turned off.
The maid who was keeping watch was drowsy.
There was a click from the bedroom window, the bolt was pried open, and the window was slowly opened.
A breeze blew in slowly, blowing the gauze curtains on the bed.
A figure suddenly jumped in.
