Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei disregarded everything else and rushed forward to take the princess's pulse.
The people inside had never seen such a scene before and were immediately flustered, so they all got up to say goodbye.
Ning Zixuan, who was originally waiting for guests in the front hall, rushed into the backyard upon hearing the news. As soon as he entered, he saw that the princess was unconscious, and the people below were in chaos.
Xu Qianqian and Madam Sun were still kneeling on the ground when Ning Chunlin saw Ning Zixuan arrive and quickly took his hand, saying:
"My mother fainted from anger, what should I do, what should I do!"
Ning Zixuan glanced at her good-for-nothing brother, then forcefully shook off his hand and said coldly:
"Hurry up and fetch the imperial physician!"
Ning Chunlin only came to his senses after hearing this, and hurriedly stumbled out to fetch the family doctor.
Ning Zixuan frowned and looked at Ning Huaizhi standing to the side, then said:
"Why did you come in? It's not convenient in here right now, why don't you go outside and wait?"
Ning Huaizhi glanced at Jiang Yuwei with concern before leading Ning Zhao to the front hall.
Ning Wan stood nervously beside Jiang Yuwei.
At this moment, Hua Rong, who was sitting next to the princess, saw Ning Zixuan enter and quickly got up to walk to the princess's side, looking at her with concern and crying out:
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuwei was already unable to concentrate on taking the pulse due to the noise of the crowd, and now Hua Rong had to come up next to her and start crying.
Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes at her and said in a deep voice:
"Go cry over there, don't disturb my pulse-taking!"
Seeing this, Hua Rong quickly turned around and glared at Jiang Yuwei before saying:
"You can even take a pulse? What a joke, an absolute joke! I think you should stop pretending here. This is Princess Jing. If anything happens to her, can you take the blame?"
Aunt Lin, who had been watching the princess make a fool of herself, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yuwei along after hearing Hua Rong's words, saying:
"You country bumpkin! How can we allow someone as precious and noble as the Princess to treat our illness? Get out of the way! The royal physician will be here soon!"
When Hua Rong saw that Aunt Lin was actually speaking up for her for the first time, she couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
In fact, everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that Consort Lin had long wished for the princess to die so that she could take the princess's position.
Prince Jing only married one princess and this concubine Lin in his lifetime, and the two fought openly and secretly in the mansion for several years.
Now that the princess's health is deteriorating, Concubine Lin is becoming increasingly arrogant in her actions outside, and many opportunistic ladies have begun to try to win her over.
Seeing this, the person who wanted to curry favor with Aunt Lin also hurriedly chimed in:
"Yes, Aunt Lin is so thoughtful. The Princess's health is too precious for you to bear!"
"Exactly, they don't even know their own limitations."
"You accidentally saved the prince and now you think you're something special."
As Aunt Lin pulled her along, Jiang Yuwei grew increasingly anxious. She had just realized that the princess had fallen ill with a sudden onset of illness, and if she wasn't treated quickly, she feared she would die here today.
Jiang Yuwei turned her head and saw Ning Zixuan standing in the middle of the room, talking to the maids and servants. She quickly shouted:
"Ning Zixuan, if you want the princess to live, quickly get everyone out of this room! I can save the princess!"
Several women who were close to Jiang Yuwei were startled by her sudden shout.
Aunt Lin paused for a moment, glanced viciously at the princess who was half-reclining on the couch, her face ashen, then turned to Jiang Yuwei and angrily said:
"Don't you dare cause trouble here! Guards, throw this shrew out of here!"
Ning Zixuan stepped forward and glared at the servant rushing towards him, shouting sternly:
"Let's see who dares!"
When Jiang Yuwei saw him coming, she quickly explained:
"The princess is suffering from an acute illness. If we don't treat her now, it may be too late. I have learned medical skills from the skilled physician Zhu. If you trust me, I will get rid of all these irrelevant people!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Zixuan shouted loudly at the chaotic people inside the room:
"My mother is currently unwell, so please all go home!"
Several women tried to come up and persuade Ning Zixuan, but he glared at them and they dared not speak. They quickly had their maids help them leave.
Seeing this, Hua Rong quickly spoke up:
"Young Master, you can't joke about the Princess's health!"
Ning Zixuan turned around and said coldly:
"Miss Hua Rong, please leave the manor quickly!"
"Brother Prince, I..."
"Guards, escort Miss Hua Rong out!"
Upon hearing the order, several maids rushed forward and carried Hua Rong out.
Seeing this, no one dared to stay any longer and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Aunt Lin, standing to the side, glared fiercely at Jiang Yuwei, then smiled and said to Ning Zixuan:
"Zixuan, I don't think this Madam Jiang is a reliable person. For the sake of the Princess's safety, let's wait for the royal physician to arrive."
Before Ning Zixuan could speak, Jiang Yuwei said coldly:
"Are you really that kind-hearted, Aunt Lin? If you're smart, you should take advantage of the chaos and get out of here quickly, otherwise you might not be able to escape this disaster."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Aunt Lin felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart began to pound.
Then he gave his personal maid a wink before slowly speaking:
“Madam Jiang’s words are rather harsh. What trouble could possibly be on my mind? I was only concerned about the Princess’s health and safety. Since you don’t appreciate my good intentions, I will leave.”
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and left with the help of his maid.
Jiang Yuwei looked around at the maids in the room, still feeling uneasy, so she said to Ning Zixuan:
"Have everyone inside leave, but Wang Ma stays."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei squatted down beside the princess's bed, took out the silver needles she always carried, and began to give the princess acupuncture.
Ning Zixuan waved for the servants to leave, and just as he was about to approach to take a look, Jiang Yuwei stopped him, saying:
"Leave the princess to me. You go and send someone to keep an eye on Aunt Lin and the physician in your household. There's something fishy about the princess's illness."
Ning Zixuan frowned upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, looked at the princess lying on the couch with her eyes closed, and spoke:
What are your chances of saving my mother?
"Ten percent chance, but if I want to restore the princess's body to its former state, I'm only about seventy or eighty percent sure."
Ning Zixuan glanced at Jiang Yuwei, who was looking serious, then at the princess and said:
"That's enough, thank you Yuwei. I'm entrusting my mother to you now."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Before leaving, Ning Zixuan specially assigned two trusted confidants to guard the gate.
Wang Ma, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Yuwei with a nervous expression and said:
"Madam Jiang, you really are a hidden talent. I've spent so many days with you, and I had no idea you knew medicine."
Jiang Yuwei knew that Wang Ma didn't quite trust her and was trying to get information out of her.
So he smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, Wang Ma, the princess will wake up soon."
