Chapter 216. Sick

Although the cough was extremely dangerous, fortunately, the eldest lady quickly stopped coughing, but after a violent cough, the elegant aura of the eldest lady's original body was gone for a while, and her flushed complexion made her look embarrassed.

"Madame, are you alright?" , Jing Wu asked in a low voice, for fear that the loud voice would disturb the eldest lady.

After a long while, the doctor shook his head and said, "Maybe it's been cold these days, and a little cold wind has blown, and I just talked a little more, so it's not in the way." ”

Saying that, the eldest lady turned her head to look at Jing Wu and continued: "It's not early today, Jing Wu, you can go back first." ”

Jing Wu saw that the eldest lady's face had returned to normal between speaking, and her breath had stabilized again, and when she thought of the recent changeable temperature, she was no longer suspicious, and nodded kindly.

After tidying up a little, he took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and left Zhining Temple.

At that time, Jing Wu didn't expect that the eldest lady would be sick from that day on.

At the beginning, because the symptoms of the eldest lady were not the same as the reaction caused by the previous poisoning, but just like the eldest lady herself said that she blew a cold wind and caught a cold, only occasionally coughed and had a slight sore throat, and the symptoms were not serious, after all, people are alive and cannot never get sick, and this small symptom looks like it can be cured without medicine, so the eldest lady did not deliberately hide these small pains and illnesses in front of people, let alone take this symptom too seriously.

In addition, it was at the end of the year, and it was not good to ask a doctor to come to the house for a consultation and visit for this little problem.

But on the second day, Bai Qianyu, who was rarely given a holiday by Si's mother, after learning that her mother was sick with a cold, behaved like a great enemy, she stared at the eldest lady every day to drink strong ginger tea, and always instructed the maids to add enough charcoal pots to the eldest lady's house, and in addition to the necessary Chinese New Year's Eve and the reunion dinner on the first day of the new year, she guarded the eldest lady and did not let the eldest lady go out for a moment.

The emperor lives up to his wishes.

If you want to live and die, you will have gains and losses.

It stands to reason that under such strict precautions, a small cold is just a cold, even if it is sick again, it should be finished.

However, the fact is that the eldest lady's symptoms not only did not lessen in the slightest, but became more and more serious.

By the tenth day of the first month of the twentieth year of Jingde, the eldest lady couldn't get out of bed overnight, and the matter of the eldest lady of the Bai family suffering from a serious illness could no longer be concealed.

On this day, the second lady took the initiative to visit Zhining Courtyard, and she didn't use the maids to lead the way, so she came to the eldest lady's room by herself.

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the dry and warm heat baked by the charcoal basin, and there was no unpleasant smell of charcoal fire or pungent herbs in the air, but it was faintly mixed with a slight spicy smell of old ginger, which was not unpleasant.

"Sister-in-law, I'm coming to see you, it's better today."

The second lady walked around the curtain as she spoke, and almost at the same time as she walked into the inner room, the second lady frowned almost imperceptibly, and the spicy smell of the old ginger was obviously a little stronger.

The next moment, she saw that the eldest lady was leaning crookedly on the bed, with a very thick brocade quilt on her body, and a pure white undershirt lined the eldest lady's unpowdered face more and more bloodless, revealing a bit of old age that had never been noticed.

The second lady was stunned for a while, it was the first time she had seen such an embarrassed, weak, and aging lady.

"Sister-in-law...... You ......"

"Shh......h Yuzu fell asleep......"

The second lady's attention was all on the eldest lady's body just now, and at this time, after being reminded by the eldest lady, she found the little man curled up near the foot of the bed.

After the New Year, Bai Xianyu, who has grown to the age of seven, is still a short doll.

Maybe it was because the sudden movement disturbed Bai Xianyu, and she trembled a few times with some uneasiness, but fortunately, at this time, the eldest lady sat up a little straighter, and reached out to pat Bai Xianyu comfortingly, which made Bai Xianyu settle down again.

"I came before dawn, I was busy staring at the small kitchen to cook ginger soup, this will make me feel better, this little girl can't stand it, just talking to me, just fell asleep on her stomach as soon as the words fell."

The eldest lady's voice was soft, gentle and weak.

It was as if a breeze was about to blow away at any moment, and it was a real one.
