Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 125 – A Remedy That Didn’T Suit The Case

“The imperial doctor is outside. What’s the matter with Miss?” Shufei asked nervously.

“Invite him in.” Wei Yuewu shook her head.

Shufei took the order. Jin Ling pulled down the gauze curtain for her again. She took a book from the shelf on one side and placed it on the front end of the bed.

The imperial doctor was staying in the next room. When he heard that Wei Yuewu had woken up, he hurriedly picked up the medicine chest and followed Shufei into the main room.

Jin Ling had already pulled Wei Yuewu’s hand out of the gauze curtain, placed it on the book, and covered it with a gauze handkerchief.

The imperial doctor sat down and stretched out his hand to check her pulse. His brows furrowed tightly. After that, he felt worried, stretched out another hand and checked her pulse again. Then he knitted his brows even tighter.

Jin Ling and Shufei panted unconsciously.

Finally, the imperial doctor finished checking Wei Yuewu’s pulse.

“Doctor, how is our Miss?” Shufei asked anxiously.

“Your Miss was born with congenital deficiencies. Moreover, she suffered a sword injury this time. She needs to be taken good care of, not to mention…” Looking inside the gauze curtain, the imperial doctor was about to say something but hesitated.

“Doctor, just feel free to speak.” The woman’s beautiful voice came out of the gauze curtain. Although it was still a bit hoarse, everyone could hear that she was very calm, almost calmer than the two maids.

Admiration immediately welled up in his heart.

The doctor became serious and he no longer hesitated. He looked at the delicate figure behind the gauze curtain and said, “To be honest, Sixth Young Lady seems to have been drugged. Perhaps the dosage was not too much, so its efficacy wasn’t strong. However, after careful examination, I could find some symptoms. If you continued to take this drug, it would have bad effect on Miss’ fertility.”

“What about the present condition?” Wei Yuewu had a smile on her face, suggesting she had known it. When she drank that bowl of soup, she had already anticipated such a day, the drug Madam Li had applied to her was originally very strong. After dilution, however, it would not have much effect on her.

“Fortunately, Sixth Young Lady didn’t have much of that drug. But now that you are injured, I have to use other drugs to remove the efficacy in your body before you can take the medicine for your sword injury. Sixth Miss’ health condition is…” The imperial doctor sighed and shook his head. Although the efficacy could be removed, because of the sword injury, Sixth Young Lady couldn’t receive the remedy that suited her case now. He was afraid that Sixth Young Lady was too weak to endure it.

“How… how long will it take?” Jin Ling at the side couldn’t help but ask.

“It won’t be long. Only two days. I will definitely remove the poisons from Sixth Miss Wei’s body in two days. However, in these two days, Sixth Miss had to endure the pain caused by the injury.”

The main ingredient in the remedy for the sword injury had an opposite effect to the antidote. That was the reason why the imperial doctor had only given Wei Yuewu ordinary medicines. He had to remove the poisons in her body before he could use the best remedy.

Asking such a delicate young lady to suffer from the injury for two days and take the unsuitable remedy was something that the imperial doctor couldn’t speak out. Not to mention that this Miss was a bit weaker than other Misses.

If she couldn’t endure it, it would be very easy for her to be in danger.

“Two days will be fine. Imperial doctor, please prescribe!” Wei Yuewu nodded her head calmly. She placed her hand on her shoulder and said mildly.

“Alright!” The imperial doctor of the Yan State admired Wei Yuewu even more. He nodded, stood up and bowed respectfully to Wei Yuewu. Then he picked up the medicine chest and turned around to head to the wing-room to prescribe for Wei Yuewu.

“Imperial doctor, after you leave, if anyone asks about my injury, just say that there’s nothing serious.” Wei Yuewu’s soft voice came from the tent.

“Yes!” Due to his admiration for Wei Yuewu and the instructions of heir-apparent of the Yan State, the imperial doctor completely obeyed Wei Yuewu’s words.

He also saw part of what happened today and bore it in mind. He was an imperial doctor from the Yan State and came to the capital with Yan Huaijing. Certainly, he was not an ordinary imperial doctor. Compared with other ordinary imperial doctors, he was far more sensible. After thinking for a short period, he was able to understand part of Wei Yuewu’s meaning.

“After I leave, I will only say that Sixth Young Lady’s injury is not serious and it doesn’t matter. She only needs to recuperate for a period of time.”

“Thank you, doctor. Shufei will lead you to prescribe for me.” Wei Yuewu nodded in satisfaction.

After the imperial doctor left, Jin Ling removed the handkerchief and looked at Wei Yuewu anxiously, “Miss, that drug…”

If she had known that the drug was so strong, she would not have watched the Miss drinking that bowl of tofu soup without stopping her.

“That’s alright. I can endure it.” Wei Yuewu’s eyes were slightly closed. Her fair face turned red and her forehead was a little sweaty. It could be seen that she was very weak. “You go to the kitchen of the nunnery and order four dishes and one soup for me. It is best if the dishes are roasted in soy sauce with much oil. It will be even better if they can prepare my meal specially.”

“Miss, how can you eat this kind of dishes in your current conditions?” Jin Ling was stunned for a moment. Normally, the Miss ate light dishes. Considering her sword injury and the properties of the drugs in her body, she could not have such dishes with a heavy taste.

“I have to let those who care about me know that I’m not seriously injured.” A cold smile appeared on Wei Yuewu’s face that flushed due to fever. She flapped her long eyelashes that looked like the wings of butterflies and then slightly opened her eyes.

“But, Miss, you…” Seeing Wei Yuewu becoming so weak, the eyes of Jing Ling who had always been tough turned red.

“I’ll be fine. The poisons had been diluted a lot back then. Coincidentally, these troubles were brought together and let the situation develop as my kind Fourth Elder Sister wished!” Although Wei Yuewu’s smiling face was pale, it had a hint of cunning.

“Move now! When the imperial doctor finishes prescribing the medicine for me, you can go to the kitchen and ask them to cook some proper dishes for me. I have been starving! By the way, ask the master of the kitchen not to let anyone else know about my request for the dishes. Just say that because the Crown Prince is also in the nunnery, it’s impolite to disturb him. It’s best not to let anyone know.”

“Yes, I understand. Miss, drink some water now and have a rest. I will go to the kitchen in a while.” Jin Ling nodded. She took a cup of warm water from the table at the side and helped Wei Yuewu drink some water. Then, she put down the pillow for her and let her lie down to rest. Even though she was so careful, Wei Yuewu’s wound still throbbed with pain. Cold sweats began to flow down her forehead.

Jin Ling wiped the sweats off her forehead. She twisted a towel that had been soaked in cold water, and covered her forehead with the towel. Wei Yuewu was having a mild fever and she was not well.

Shufei walked over from the outside with a prescription in her hand. Seeing Wei Yuewu resting with her eyes closed, she secretly pulled Jin Ling’s hand and the two of them gently retreated to the porch.

“Sister Jin Ling, imperial doctor Chen said that the heir-apparent of Yan State had a pill that might be helpful to Miss’ injury. Furthermore, the pill doesn’t contradict the antidote to the drugs in her body. But it is very precious…” Shufei said in a low voice and her eyes turned red. She hesitated and didn’t continue.

The pill was so precious that it was said that even the heir-apparent of Yan State had only one, and it was specially preserved for use in emergency.

Shufei didn’t think that she could obtain it for her Miss.

Jin Ling was also speechless for a moment. She used to work for Yan Huaijing and she certainly knew the dangers Yan Huaijing faced after entering the capital better than Shufei. Since the pill was preserved for use in emergency, how could he give it to the Miss so easily?

“What else did imperial doctor Chen tell you?” Jin Ling gritted her teeth and tried not to think about Wei Yuewu’s pale face.

“Imperial doctor Chen said that the taste of the dishes should be as light as possible. It will be better for the Miss to eat dishes that are nutritious and easy to digest. Miss’ injury can’t be treated with the most effective medicine and she can only endure it with her body’s self-healing function.” Shufei also knew that her thought was too whimsical, and she could only wipe the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.

She could only ask for some dishes cooked with much oil and sauce from the Plum Blossom Nunnery’s kitchen and must not openly request light-taste dishes! It seemed that she had to act according to circumstances in the kitchen.

Jin Ling used to work for Yan Huaijing and therefore knew how to deal with this kind of things. She instructed Shufei who was completely bewildered, “Go and cook medicine for Miss. If someone asks you, don’t mention Miss’ conditions. Just say that she’s fine and if they ask anything else, pretend to be entirely ignorant.”

“Sister Jin Ling, I will go right now. Imperial doctor Chen said that we should go to the courtyard of the heir-apparent of Yan State to get the medicines. His medicine chest doesn’t have everything needed.” Seeing Jin Ling had calmed down, Shufei also calmed down a little. At this moment, she had an idea. “Sister Jin Ling, why don’t we beg the heir-apparent of Yan State to let us cook the medicines in his place? Imperial doctor Chen said that there was a small kitchen.”

Under this circumstance, even if someone wanted to investigate, they would not be able to find out what kind of medicine the Miss had taken and whether her injury was serious or not.

“Alright, you follow imperial doctor Chen. I’ll wait for you to come back and go to the kitchen to get the medicine for Miss.” Jin Ling nodded. Since Miss did not want others to know how serious her injury was, it was best not to let anyone see the dregs of the medicine after cooking.

The two maids agreed that Shufei would follow imperial doctor Chen out of the courtyard. Jin Ling stayed to attend to Wei Yuewu and changed towels for a few times during the period. However, Wei Yuewu continued to have a high fever and was entirely in a coma. Jin Ling was so anxious that she looked out of the door several times. Although the medicine didn’t suit the case of Miss, it was at least better than having no medicine at all.

Shufei had been away for more than an hour but wasn’t back yet, and the sky outside darkened. How could Jin Ling not feel upset?

Suddenly, a knock came from outside. Jin Ling was overjoyed. She hurriedly put down the towel in her hand and hurriedly walked to the gate of the courtyard. When she opened the door and saw that there were not only Shufei standing outside the door, but also two other maids, she was stunned. The two maids were from the mansion of the Duke of Yan State. She knew them.

The three of them were each holding a herb pot in their hands.

Seeing that Jin Ling was stunned, Shufei hurriedly said, “Sister Jin Ling, let’s talk inside.”

After saying that, she took a step forward and the two maids followed her in. Jin Ling closed the door hurriedly.

Knowing that Jin Ling had doubts, Shufei said ahead of her happily, “Sister Jin Ling, the medicine is in the pot in my hand. The other two sisters’ pots contain soup for nourishing the body. Imperial doctor Chen prescribed the soup, and the heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State ordered someone to cook it for Miss and bring it over directly.”

“Well, hurry up and bring it in.” Jin Ling was cheerful and bowed deeply to the maids from the mansion of the Duke of Yan State to express her gratitude. But it was not the right time to speak, so she led them to the main room.

At the main entrance, Jin Ling suddenly grabbed Shufei who had already set one of her feet in the room, and shouted harshly towards the room, “Who is it?”
