Next Chapter

"Isn't Miss awake yet?"

"No, but the fever has subsided, and I should be waking up soon."

At this time, an elderly servant woman whispered, "You all be quiet, don't make a noise about Miss." ”

"Yes!" Two slightly immature voices lowered their voices back.

Cheng Yiyao opened her eyes in a daze, but what she saw was a pink tent embroidered with flowers and wealth, and a delicate mahogany carved bed, she was a little confused for a while, where was she here?

Although it is a palace, but the treatment of her unfavored concubine is not such a standard, and this familiar bed curtain is not what she has now, but it seems to be when she was still in the Guogong Mansion.

The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow a moment ago lingered in her mind for a long time, and Cheng Yiyao saw in the haze in front of her eyes from the moment of consciousness should be her own dream, which was the only warmth in her life!

Before she could react, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone was softly persuading: "Old lady, slow down, the eldest lady should still be asleep at this time!" ”

"See the old lady!" Next is the greetings of the maids and servants.

But I didn't hear the sound of screaming, and then a graceful lady was surrounded by many maids and servants and entered Cheng Yiyao's sight, although she was called an old lady, she looked at only forty or so, and she didn't see her old state at all, this woman was Cheng Yiyao's grandmother, the Duchess of Chengguo.

Watching her grandmother sit down on the edge of the bed, Cheng Yiyao had mixed feelings for a while, joy, sentimentality, and guilt, the only elder who loved her, but he lived up to her teachings and was ashamed of his love for her.

"Yao girl, are you awake?" Duchess Chengguo looked at her granddaughter lovingly and stroked her forehead, "The fever is gone." ”

Seeing that the girl just looked at her with tears in her eyes, she said worriedly: "Yao girl, is there something uncomfortable?" Fu turned around and instructed Mama Su on the side, "Go and invite Dr. Zhang to come and have a look!" ”

"Yes!" Mama Su nodded in response, bowed down and walked away quickly.

I've heard that someone who is dying will see the person who has passed away and has been missing, and bring himself into another world, I miss my grandmother too much, this elder who has always loved him, and finally was angry to death because of his embarrassing end.

Cheng Yiyao only thought that if this is a dream, please let her stay longer!

"Old lady, I have already sent someone to invite Dr. Zhang, and it should be there in a while." When Mama Su turned around, she saw her grandparents and grandchildren in tears but didn't say a word, the servants around her didn't dare to speak, and the maids and servants in Yaojingxuan still saluted and never got up.

The night before the eldest lady did not lock the window tightly, the wind blew the window open at night, and the eldest lady had a high fever on the second day.

This is the heart-to-heart meat that the old lady brought up since she was a child, if it wasn't for the persuasion of everyone last night, the old lady would have planned to stay in Yaojingxuan and watch the eldest lady, and this morning she came here in a hurry to avoid a kind of lady and miss's invitation.

Although the maid board who was on duty at night had already been beaten, and the rest of the maids and servants were also fined accordingly, the old lady felt uncomfortable when she saw them, and the son must have deliberately prevented them from getting up and wanted to punish them.

Mama Su looked at them half-restrained, the older ones were better, and some of the younger ones were already a little shaky and couldn't stand anymore: "Old lady, you see that the eldest lady's fever has also subsided, and she hasn't eaten anything in the past two days, do you want to let An Lan and them clean the eldest lady's face and rinse her mouth, so that the eldest lady can drink some soup to cushion her stomach." ”

The old lady took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, raised her eyes to see a kind of maid and servant woman and said: "Get up, you go and prepare, if you don't do your best in the future, you will never be spared!" ”

Cheng Yiyao watched a few maids lined up in front of the bed with toiletries, and the old lady personally cleaned her face, feeling the warm breath from the cotton towel to her face, and suddenly hugged the old lady's waist and cried.

"Grandmother, grandmother, grandmother......" The grandmother called out one by one, and the Duchess of Diguo also cried.

"Well, isn't there anything uncomfortable, tell grandmother!" Duchess Cheng gently stroked Cheng Yiyao's back and comforted her carefully.

"It's okay, Yao'er just misses her grandmother, it feels like she hasn't seen her for a long time." At this time, Cheng Yiyao already knew that she should have returned to the time when she was still in the boudoir ten years ago.

Whether it is a dream or a chance to give her a new life, she will cherish it.

"Old lady, Dr. Zhang has arrived!" Mama Su watched her grandparents crying and didn't know how to persuade her, but it happened that Dr. Zhang arrived and stepped forward to report.

Duchess Chengguo held her granddaughter lying on top of her, but the cotton towel handed by Mama Su wiped the tears on her face again, and gently coaxed: "Okay, don't cry and let the doctor take a look, you won't be sad after drinking the medicine!" ”

Then he got up and ordered the maids to help Cheng Yiyao get dressed, and then ordered someone to replace Dr. Zhang in.

Although Cheng Yiyao was only six years old at this time, if the young lady was not well-dressed, she would see a foreign man, although the other party was a doctor, but it still had a bad impact.

Dr. Zhang is a man about thirty years old with a beard, and the masters of the Chengguo Mansion invited him to come over when they were sick, only to see him wiping his beard with one hand and putting the other hand on Cheng Yiyao's hand: "Don't worry, old lady, the eldest lady is fine, I will prescribe a prescription for recuperation, and it will be fine for a few days!" ”

"That's good, I'll send someone to grab the medicine when Dr. Zhang helps prescribe the medicine!" The old lady thanked Dr. Zhang and invited someone out.

After inviting Dr. Zhang out, a maid came in with a small cup, and there were two small bowls next to it.

Mama Su filled two small bowls: "Old lady, you came over early in the morning and didn't bother to have breakfast, you might as well eat some here, the old slave here is here to take care of it, you don't worry about others and don't worry about the old slave!" ”

This Mama Su is the nurse of the Duchess of Chengguo, and she has taken care of her since she was a child, and the Duchess of Chengguo married and came to the Chengguo Mansion with her, the relationship between the master and servant is not ordinary, Cheng Yiyao also grew up with her, and she was also distressed when she suffered this time.

Duchess Chengguo didn't feel hungry at first, but after Mama Su said this, she felt that her stomach was empty, so she said to Cheng Yiyao: "You obediently eat porridge here, and grandmother is outside!" ”

But seeing that Cheng Yiyao was just holding on to her grandmother's sleeve and refused to let go, Mama Su smiled and said, "The eldest lady is reluctant to let go of the old lady, why don't the old lady use it together here!" ”

Cheng Yiyao also said when she heard this: "Yao'er wants to look at her grandmother, and grandmother can use it in the room!" ”

Looking at this obedient granddaughter, showing such a delicate posture, the Duchess of Chengguo also smiled and responded to this granddaughter since she was a child, she has no mother and no siblings to take care of, although she is the eldest granddaughter of the Chengguo Mansion, she is only six years old now, but she has been cautious, although she is close to her, she is mostly respectful, and she is rarely so coquettish.

Seeing her sick granddaughter so dependent on her, she only felt distressed.

Cheng Yiyao ate the shredded chicken porridge fed by Mama Su one bite at a time, and after eating a few bites, she would raise her eyes to look at her grandmother, for fear that she would suddenly wake up from this dream and her grandmother would suddenly disappear.

Mama Su watched the eldest lady frequently look towards the Duchess of Chengguo, and couldn't help wetting her eyes, although the Duchess of Guo loves the eldest lady but has always been strict with her, usually the eldest lady is more in awe of the old lady than dependent, but this illness is so attached to her grandmother, so that Mama Su can't help but sigh secretly.
