Chapter 192 Twitching
The other side has skylights.
It was late at night, and An Lingrong was lying on the railing of the corridor, looking quietly into the distance.
Liu Zhu stood beside her silently.
"Sent away?"
"Yes!"
"No one else saw it?"
"Don't worry, my lord. No one saw it."
After saying these words, An Lingrong turned her gaze to the distance again.
The wind from Houhu Lake blows gently, carrying the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Liu Zhu was keenly aware of An Lingrong's low mood, but she didn't know how to persuade her. After thinking for a moment, she tiptoed to the first floor and called Xiao Luzi, "Xiao Luzi, go and invite Concubine Hui."
"Sister, the Emperor has summoned His Majesty to the Qinzheng Palace tonight!"
"Where is Concubine Wan?"
"I just went there. Concubine Wan is having trouble with her pregnancy and has fallen asleep!"
Liu Zhu had no choice but to go to the second floor again, only to find that An Lingrong had changed her clothes and was lying on the bed!
Although An Lingrong didn't like anyone watching over her while she slept, Liu Zhu was a little worried, so she slept directly on the soft couch not far from the bed.
Liu Zhu didn't know how long it had been, but she remained drowsy and restless. In the silent night, no sound could escape her. She could hear the sound of heavy breathing, and she felt something was wrong. She lit a lamp and went to An Lingrong's bedside.
An Lingrong's face was flushed, her hair was soaked with sweat, and she was still mumbling something.
Oops!
Liu Zhu quickly put on her clothes, ran downstairs, and woke up Xiao Luzi and Hongdou.
"Xiao Luzi, quickly go get Doctor Wei. Hongdou, go find Sister Su Ye at Bitong Academy. The young lady has a fever, quickly!"
The two did not dare to delay and went to do it quickly.
Liu Zhu returned to the second floor and quickly helped An Lingrong change into a dry set of pajamas.
A moment later, Su Ye trotted into the room, grasped An Lingrong's wrist, and quickly felt her pulse. He then examined her arm and said, "The hairs are standing on end, the skin is closed, indicating heat, and the pulse is straight, suggesting a wind-cold symptom."
A moment later, Wei Lin also arrived. Seeing that Su Ye had written the prescription, he hurried to prepare the medicine.
At this moment, An Lingrong on the bed suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, her limbs flailing wildly. Her face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her lips lost their color.
Su Ye's heart tightened. He quickly took out a piece of cork from the medicine box and carefully put it into An Lingrong's mouth, fearing that she would bite her tongue.
But An Lingrong's condition became more and more serious. She used all her strength to bite the cork tightly. The blue veins on her forehead were clearly visible, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, soaking her hair and clothes.
This won’t work, acupuncture is the only option!
"Liuzhu, Hongdou, you two, come here quickly! Help the young lady take off her clothes! Move quickly!"
While shouting anxiously, Su Ye quickly stood up and walked to the table, opened the lid of the medicine box, and found a cloth bag containing a number of long and thin silver needles. He also took out a bottle of alcohol and quickly disinfected the medicine.
After everything was ready, Su Ye took a deep breath and returned to the bedside. He stared intently at An Lingrong's body and inserted the silver needles into each acupuncture point accurately.
As time passed, the number of silver needles in Su Ye's hand became fewer and fewer, and An Lingrong's convulsion symptoms gradually eased and finally stopped completely.
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
After boiling the medicine, Su Ye fed it into An Lingrong's mouth spoonful by spoonful. Only when he saw that the fever had subsided a little did he feel relieved.
Early the next morning, Shen Meizhuang got up and personally helped Yongzheng put on his court robes and crown.
Yongzheng said gently: "You have worked hard to take care of the affairs of the harem, let the servants do these things!"
Shen Meizhuang raised her head slightly and smiled gently: "It is my duty to serve the emperor."
The person in front of him had a focused expression and gentle eyes. Yongzheng felt warm in his heart and grabbed her hand and patted it gently. Shen Meizhuang had children and family background, and she was broad-minded and capable. She was undoubtedly the best candidate for the master of the harem. It was a pity that she was from the Han Army Banner.
After Yongzheng left, Shen Meizhuang wiped her hands with a handkerchief and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall.
"Empress, shall we go back to Xianyue Pavilion?" Caiyue asked, holding her hand.
Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Bitong Academy. I don't think I've seen Huan'er for a few days!"
When they arrived at the main hall of Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan had just woken up and Huanbi was helping her get up.
"Sister Mei, you are a very busy person. How come you have time to come here?" Zhen Huan looked at the person in front of her with joy and asked with a smile.
Shen Meizhuang stepped forward to support him, then gently patted her belly and said, "Are you saying that I haven't come often enough?"
"No, I know you're busy!"
"How have you been lately?"
"Everything else is fine, but I just couldn't sleep well."
As Shen Meizhuang spoke, she helped Zhen Huan sit down in front of the dressing table and picked up a rose hairpin from her makeup box and placed it on her head. "This hairpin is very beautiful. It must be a new gift from the Emperor!"
Jin Xi hurried into the hall and said, "My two ladies, the servants just said that Noble Wen had a high fever last night and Miss Su Ye was sent away in the middle of the night and she hasn't returned yet!"
"What?" Shen Meizhuang was shocked.
Zhen Huan stood up upon hearing this and said, "Huanbi, change my clothes quickly."
Seeing Zhen Huan's hurried appearance, Shen Meizhuang said, "You are pregnant and it is not convenient for you. I will go and take a look. I will send someone to tell you the situation later."
"it is good!"
When daybreak came, An Lingrong was still sleeping.
Shen Meizhuang came to the bedside, gently touched her cheek, frowned and asked, "How is Rong'er?"
Su Ye, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the young lady has caught a cold and is experiencing high fever and convulsions. Although her condition has improved somewhat, she still has a low-grade fever."
Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but look annoyed and asked, "How could she have caught a cold? Did she eat something cold again?"
Liu Zhu quickly explained: "No, the young lady was enjoying the scenery outside the corridor yesterday and stayed there for a long time!"
Thinking of An Lingrong's fragile body, Shen Meizhuang felt a pang of grief. Last time, she had been severely injured, nearly losing half her life. Even with the meticulous daily regimen of precious medicinal herbs, a full recovery would take more than three to five months. A minor cold, seemingly insignificant to others, could trigger a severe, incurable illness in a body as delicate as An Lingrong's!
Shen Meizhuang didn't ask any more questions. She sat by the bed and looked at An Lingrong's face, occasionally picking up a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from her forehead.
The sun slowly rose, and the sunlight crept into the house through the window lattice.
Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs. Shen Meizhuang frowned and said, "Caiyue, tell them to keep their voices down and not disturb Rong'er's rest!"
"Yes!"
Caiyue was about to turn around when she saw Xiao Shi running in from the stairs. She knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this is bad. News has come from Qingliang Palace that Concubine Hua has passed away!"
