Chapter 436: Fever
Xiao Rui got out of the car at the back door of the General Zhuguo's mansion, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the carriage of the third prince disappear into the night.
From the moment he saw Xu Laishun's face, he knew that the third prince was not doing well. He had hoped to leave the capital before the third prince came to his door. However, this plan cannot be realized, and it does not mean that he cannot cope with the three princes. Fang Cai's successive fights finally suppressed the anger of the three princes, and also made the other party's attention focus on the decision-making mistakes in the marriage of the Zhao family. Now that Xiao Rui has reported his imminent transfer to the third prince, he doesn't have to worry about the latter going into rambling in the future.
When he went to the Northern Yan Palace, the third prince wanted to ask him to help him do something, but he couldn't do it. The third prince didn't have the ability and courage to cross His Royal Highness King Yan to embarrass him.
When he goes, he and the three princes' cousins are really going to part ways, right? It's good to come earlier on this day, he may feel a little sad in his heart, but if he doesn't speculate with the third prince and separates early, he will save himself from turning against each other in the future.
Xiao Rui turned around and walked into the Zhuguo General's Mansion, first went to see his aunt Li Yaozhi, and reported what he had done today. His father, Xiao Mingde, had already gone to the camp in western Beijing and would not go home for the night, and he planned to go over to report to his father about today's conversation with the third prince when he left Beijing early tomorrow morning. He still has a lot to do in Jinshanwei to deal with the aftermath, as well as ...... Wang Meiru actually came to Miss Xue's side, and was about to marry into the East Palace and become the prince's concubine. He had to tell the Xie family about this. Since the Wang family and the Xie family have a big enmity, the Xie family has to beware of Wang Meiru's revenge, so as to save the disaster from happening, and they don't know anything.
Furthermore...... He may also have to remind Dong Huiwu to pay attention to the news from the East Palace, and it is best to tell him if Wang Meiru has any changes with Cheng Wang, the wife of the prince of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion. Even if he is far away and has no time to do something, he can't be a fool. The Xie family is kind to him, and he has a friendship with the Xie family brothers and sisters. If Wang Mei wants to take revenge on the Xie family, how can he stand by and watch?
Xiao Rui left the capital early the next morning, and at noon, Xie Yinghui received a letter sent by Ma Yurong at home and learned the news.
However, Xie Yinghui didn't take this matter to heart, and she didn't know Xiao Rui either. Zhao Ying's matter was resolved smoothly, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It wasn't long before Onyx came to report and told her that her grandmother, Duchess Chengen, seemed to be in a worse condition, and her mood suddenly became heavy again.
This is the news that Onyx heard from the people of the Chengenhou Mansion through his relatives, and he didn't know that it was a few days ago. But the news that Mrs. Chengenhou is seriously ill is unmistakable. Seeing that the weather was getting colder day by day, but the news from the imperial doctor's side was not optimistic, Xie Yinghui asked to go to the sick three or four times, but she was rejected, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
Mother Cao Shuqing is still in Shaanxi, and there has been no news. The time was too tight, and the people sent by Cheng Enhou to contact her didn't know if they had arrived in Shaanxi. Even if my mother received the letter and rushed back to Beijing immediately, she might not be able to make it in time......
Duchess Chengen's body didn't know how to last a few days, and there were few relatives around, even Mrs. Ping Nanbo, Cao Wenheng, and Cao Wenfeng hid, and the mother and son also went out of the city to live in Zhuangzi under the pretext of praying for Ping Nanbo's deeds. Now Duchess Chengen has only one granddaughter by her side, which can be regarded as a blood relative. Could it be that Cheng Enhou and his wife really couldn't bear to let their stepmother die in loneliness?
Xie Yinghui fidgeted when she thought of this.
But she can't do anything now, Mrs. Chengenhou refuses to let her go to serve the sick, and she is helpless except to use the face of her friend Ma Yurong to inquire about her grandmother's medical case from the Tai Hospital. She was resentful in her heart, and she also sent people to spread the unfilial behavior of Cheng Enhou and his wife who refused to let their stepmother serve the sick, but it seemed to have little impact.
That's right, the people waiting around her, I don't know how many Cao family's eyes and ears are there. She assigned them to slander the reputation of the Cao family, how could they be obedient? It's just a few girls who are still loyal to her who have successfully passed the word into the ears of a few people, but what does it do?
Xie Yinghui was disheartened, sitting in the room in a daze, only feeling that she couldn't lift her spirits by doing anything.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Qi came to report: "Miss, Jin Xuantang came to report that the third girl had a fever again, and it seemed that it was burning a lot, and they were all talking nonsense!" Aunt Jin was very worried, feeling that the previous doctor was unreliable, and wanted to invite a doctor. ”
Xie Yinghui said impatiently: "The previous doctor was good, didn't the medicine prescribed to Xie Yingrong take effect after two doses?" That's the doctor that Aunt Jin already knew, and the second wife's former eldest girl is still a relative, where is it unreliable? ! You go and tell Aunt Jin to tell her not to always think about asking for a doctor. Which card is Xie Yingrong on? Ask the doctor at every turn, is she worthy?! ”
Lu Qi had to reply, of course, the tone and words had to be changed to be a little more tactful. It's just that Xie Yinghui's meaning is here, no matter how tactful it is, Aunt Dajin can't be satisfied.
She cried at her daughter, whose fever was getting worse and worse, and put a wet handkerchief on her daughter's forehead over and over again, but Xie Yingrong still kept talking nonsense. She couldn't sit still, got up and knelt down at her girl Xiangtao: "Good girl, I know that your father is in charge of the concierge, which is different from others." Please help me talk to your father, and let him go and ask him to help get a doctor! If the three girls continue to burn like this, it will be troublesome! ”
Xiangtao hurriedly hugged her: "Auntie, get up quickly." I looked at the third girl like this, and I was also very anxious. But my father is just a small housekeeper, and the old lady at home is not at home, and the eldest lady refuses to come forward. In fact, Dr. Yan is not bad, the medicine he prescribed before, the third girl is very good to eat. If it weren't for the fact that her previous illness had been delayed for a long time and damaged her foundation, she would not have been unwell. Why don't I ask my dad to send a letter to the North Gate Bridge again? Doctor Yan is a well-known doctor, in fact, it is better than finding a doctor you don't recognize! ”
Aunt Dajin looked at her daughter's appearance and gritted her teeth: "Doctor Yan is very good, but he is too far away." Now that it is about to get dark, when Steward Cai goes to the North Gate Bridge and invites people back, it will take several hours to pass. How can the third girl's illness be delayed?! Since you can't hire a doctor, it's better to hire a more reliable doctor! You can't just leave the three girls alone, right?! ”
Xiangtao looked at Xie Yingrong's appearance, and thought about it, so she went to the concierge to find her father Cai Laotian and explain the reason.
Cai Laotian said: "The third girl's illness cannot be delayed. I do know a doctor with good medical skills, not far away, Su Ri our family's subordinates are sick, I have looked for him several times, and the medicine prescribed also works, even if it is not as good as that old doctor Yan, it is not far behind. I'm going to ask him, so I can get rid of the fever of the third girl first. He didn't have to ask Xie Yinghui for advice, he went out directly. However, in case Xie Yinghui was dissatisfied, he still told his daughter before leaving and went to report to the eldest lady.
Xie Yinghui calmed down a little at this time, listened to Xiangtao's words, frowned, and said, "Didn't the third girl say that she had already met in the past two days?" I didn't burn, but I coughed less at night, so why did I suddenly get hot again? She looked at Xiang Tao, "What did Xie Yingrong do today?" ”
Peach hesitated: "Didn't you do anything?" The three girls can't even get out of bed now, what else can they do? Today it was Beeswax who came to talk to her for a while, as if they were chatting about the news outside, such as the crown princess or something. ”
