Just as Yuan Yutong lowered her head and was thinking about how to start, Yun Yichen also noticed something unusual about his aunt. First of all, as a wife of a marquis, she did not take a car but chose to ride a horse, which proved that something important had happened; in addition, she looked very anxious. Could it be that something happened to the Xiao family or the Yuan family?
"Aunt, what are you doing..." Yun Yichen looked at Yuan Yutong hesitantly.
"Aunt knows that you don't like Ping'an, but human life is at stake now. Even if I beg you to let me see the prince and princess, I really have something very urgent to ask them for help." Yuan Yutong spoke very quickly. She was only thinking about how to see her cousin and King Jing as soon as possible, so she blurted out what was in her heart.
When did I say I didn't like the little girl? That's not right. I never said I liked her! Everything is messed up. From what my aunt said, it seems like something happened to the little girl. I have to find out quickly. I can talk about those nonsense later!
"Aunt, let's go to the backyard to find my mother. As we walk, can you tell me what happened?" Yun Yichen didn't bother to defend himself and hurriedly led Yuan Yutong to Jinhua Garden.
"Ping'an has had a high fever since last night. She probably didn't want to disturb everyone's rest, so she didn't say anything, not even telling the servants around her. It wasn't until this morning when the maid woke her up that we noticed something was wrong, but by then she had already passed out.
The doctor from Ji'an Hall came to see me and said he was worried that the fever might damage my brain if it lasted too long, so he asked for a thorough examination by an imperial physician. My father-in-law sent me to the palace to ask Prince Jing for help. Yuan Yutong eagerly recounted the whole story. Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to finish a long speech in one breath.
"Xiao... I mean, how is Miss Xiao now?"
"She's still comatose, and she had a high fever again when I came. Nanny Ruan said it's not a good sign if she keeps having a fever."
"Xiao Anzi, take the token from the palace and go to the Imperial Hospital. Find a doctor who is best at treating girls. No, find a few more and bring them directly to the Xiao family. You ride my horse and go now." Yun Yichen ordered.
"Yes, I'll go right away." After saying this, Xiao Anzi ran away to carry out his master's orders.
"Thank you, I really didn't expect..." It's not easy for you to help Ping An even though you look down on him so much! Yuan Yutong was really grateful to Yun Yichen, but it would have been better if she hadn't said this!
"Are you still going to see my mother?" Was it really that obvious? Why did everyone say that they hated the little girl? What did the little girl think? Could it be that she had the same idea as everyone else?
Yun Yichen was terrified, completely stunned. He'd assumed Xiao Yao would be as angry as he was, and that was all. He'd assumed his constant anger and antagonism towards the little girl was out of kindness, that she'd understand. But what happened? How would she feel when others told her they disliked, even hated, her?
"If you have something else to do, please go ahead and do it. I will go see your mother by myself. After that, I have to go home. I don't know if Ping An has woken up yet."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Yun Yichen did not walk away. He took Yuan Yutong through the path and soon met Yin Qianhua.
After a brief chat, Yuan Yutong wanted to say goodbye and leave. Yin Qianhua asked Qiuying to bring some supplements. Just as she was wondering whether to go to the Xiao family herself or send Qiuying, Yun Yichen spoke again, "I'll take your aunt home and deliver the supplements. I'll also keep an eye on the imperial physician. If they don't do their best, it won't work without someone to suppress them. What do you say?"
"Yes, what Achen said makes sense." Yin Qianhua, who didn't think about anything else, was very satisfied with her son's performance. Her thirteen-year-old son had learned to be considerate and care about other people's feelings. In two years, he would definitely take good care of his daughter-in-law.
Among all the young men in Kyoto, my son has the most outstanding qualities in all aspects. Although he is inferior to the Ninth Prince in status, he has the upper hand in martial arts and appearance. His future daughter-in-law will definitely be a woman of both good character and appearance.
Yin Qianhua’s biggest wish now is to find a good wife for her son so that she can fulfill her dream of having a grandson as soon as possible.
It took Yuan Yutong no more than half an hour from the time she entered the palace to the time she left. After she and Yun Yichen rushed back to the Xiao family, they heard that Xiao Yao had woken up.
"Thank God, the child finally woke up." Yuan Yutong said to himself while breathing a sigh of relief.
Yun Yichen also relaxed. Once his tense nerves relaxed, he realized that his palms were sweating and his breathing was disordered.
Not long after, the three imperial physicians arrived. They had originally wanted to show off their status as imperial physicians, but under Yun Yichen's cold gaze, they had no choice but to put their thoughts aside and use their best skills to carefully and thoroughly examine Xiao Yao.
"Replying to the Crown Prince, the old Marquis, and Lord Xiao." An imperial physician was about to show off his profound and solid theoretical knowledge in front of several people, especially the Crown Prince of Jing, but was ruthlessly stopped by the old Marquis Xiao.
"Please tell me how my granddaughter is doing now and whether she is serious." Who has time to listen to your long-winded talk? Let's get straight to the point.
The imperial physician was about to express his dissatisfaction when he heard Yun Yichen say calmly and majestically: "Imperial Doctor Wan, right? Please tell us about Miss Xiao's condition first. We are all waiting to hear it!"
"In reply to the prince, Miss Xiao has woken up and the fever has subsided. She will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine." Although the prince is young, his demeanor is becoming more and more like Prince Jing. Although he holds the title of prince, his identity and status are not much different from those of a prince.
"So my granddaughter's brain is not damaged, right?" Old Marquis Xiao still asked worriedly.
"Miss Xiao just has a cold. Apart from being a little weak, everything else is normal."
"It's normal for her to be physically weak and out of breath. Tell me how to improve this situation." It seems that you don't feel sorry for your granddaughter, and you said it so easily. Old Marquis Xiao snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Go out more often, don't keep your worries to yourself. If you feel better and eat better, your body will naturally recover."
"Excuse me, imperial doctors. Butler Feng, please take you downstairs to rest." After finding out the cause of his granddaughter's illness, Lord Xiao became even more dissatisfied with his son and daughter-in-law. He planned to send the outsiders away first and then settle the score with his family.
"Do we need to keep a royal physician?" Yun Yichen asked tentatively. He could see that the old man was about to get angry, because he had seen his current expression for several years and it was very familiar to him.
"Boy Yun, thank you for what you did today. I will repay you a favor when I have the chance. There's no need to keep the imperial physician here. In my granddaughter's case, as long as the fever goes down and she wakes up, she should be fine." It was a mistake to invite the imperial physician here. Why should the Xiao family keep him here?
"Didn't my aunt say that Miss... Xiao had repeated fevers? It would be safer to leave an imperial physician here. Father and I are there to take care of the palace. You don't have to worry at all." Yun Yichen was afraid that Xiao Yao would suddenly have a fever again. This kind of worry was different from the feeling he had when his sister was sick. He just felt scared. He never wanted to experience the cold hands and feet and a sudden blank in his brain again.
"Then I'll only trouble you once more." Old Marquis Xiao patted Yun Yichen's shoulder. His four years of hard work were not wasted. He believed that no matter which of the Yun brothers he asked for help today, or whether he asked Mu Fengwu for help, they would not refuse. It seemed that being a master to the royal family was not without benefits.
I just don’t know if he will still think so when he finds the fox’s tail showing and the wolf cub’s eyes glowing green.
"I'm going to talk to the imperial physician and then I'll be back. If anything else, please send someone to the palace to report it." Yun Yichen didn't want to watch the old man deal with household affairs. He strolled through the Xiao family's courtyard, wondering who would win and who would lose in this internal struggle. It seemed that every time something happened to the little girl, the Xiao family would go through some changes. She was really a troublemaker.
As soon as Yun Yichen left, Xiao Jingkang and the others stood up automatically. In the side hall, only Qin was sitting there with Old Marquis Xiao, looking a little unnatural. Except for Xiao Jingyan and his wife, the rest of the Xiao family were present.
Old Marquis Xiao did not rush to say anything until Butler Feng came back and told his master that Prince Jing and the two imperial physicians had left, leaving behind the most skilled and amiable imperial physician.
"I understand. Now go and help me with another thing. Buy me a yard in the south of the city. It doesn't have to be too big, as long as it is big enough for me to live in peace." Old Marquis Xiao said calmly.
"Father, what are you planning to do? Your son is lifting Ping An's house arrest. Please take back what you said!" Xiao Jingkang lifted up his robe and knelt down. Following his movement, a large group of people knelt down behind him.
"Father-in-law, if you want to blame someone, blame me! It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I forgot that Ping An had just recovered and neglected to take care of her. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. Please don't be angry. Don't get yourself hurt by anger."
Tong Mingyu did feel a little regretful. Her daughter had been injured shortly after she was born, and she could be said to have grown up drinking medicine. Now that her health had just improved, she was so careless that she forgot that she was still a child who needed careful care. If she didn't have a good body, what would be the use of her being outstanding and virtuous?
"How could you be wrong? I can understand your hope that your children will have a bright future. Now I don't want to blame anyone anymore. In the future, even if Ping'an is missing from your eldest wife's family, you still have three sons. The other two wives will have no less. I also have Xiao Si by my side. So, in this family, there will only be two people, Ping'an and me.
I don't think as far as you do, nor do I have such high demands as you do. My only hope is to live a safe, free and happy life. I have been busy all my life, and now that I am old, I just want to see the younger generations happy.
I will submit a petition to the Emperor to give the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to the eldest brother, and the Marquisate will be left to you. I have no objection to you brothers living together or dividing the family property."
Xiao Jingkang didn't expect that his father was really angry this time. He even talked about titles and division of the family. What should he do now?
