Chapter 87

Qinglanyuan called a doctor in the middle of the night, which alarmed the Marquis Gu and his wife.

The main thing was that the prince, who had always been fearless in the face of danger, suddenly called for someone in a hurry to call a doctor.

When he called people over, the anxious voice could be heard by almost half of the yard.

When Marquis Gu and his wife were sleeping soundly, there was a maid knocking on the door, saying that Qinglan Garden had urgently called for a doctor. The couple got up in shock.

Mrs. Gu anxiously put on her clothes and left the room, asking the maid, "What's going on?!"

The old woman said, "I don't know what happened. I only know that the prince anxiously asked someone to call a doctor. It seems that the prince's wife fainted."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu was shocked. She didn't care about her husband beside her and walked down the stairs and out of the yard in a hurry.

Marquis Gu also followed.

As soon as the couple arrived, their two daughters followed.

After all, it was the bedroom of a young couple, so it was not suitable for too many people to enter. Only Mrs. Gu entered the room. Seeing her son wiping his daughter-in-law's face by the bed, she looked anxious and asked, "What happened to Ayun?"

Mrs. Gu approached from outside and when she saw the rash on her daughter-in-law's face, her face tensed and she lowered her voice and asked, "What happened to Ah Yun?"

Gu Shixing turned to look at his mother. Her expression had regained its composure, but her face was still tense. His voice was a little hoarse: "It looks like she ate something wrong, or used something wrong, but this is just a guess. We need to wait for the doctor to come to know."

As he said this, he looked at Su Yun, who was lying on the bed with a look of pain on his face and difficulty breathing.

I developed a rash on my body, had a high fever, and had difficulty breathing. These symptoms really looked like something I had eaten wrong.

Gu Shixing worked at the Dali Temple and knew a bit about medicine. Moreover, looking at his wife's current symptoms, he had guessed a little bit.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she somehow remembered the stew she had given her daughter-in-law tonight. Her heart skipped a beat and a worried look appeared on her face: "Could it be... because of the stew I had someone send over last night?"

Gu Shixing comforted his mother: "The doctor hasn't come yet, mother, please don't worry too much for now."

How could Madam Gu not think too much? It was fine before, but it became like this tonight after she had someone send her daughter-in-law some medicinal food. Not only did she think too much, she also felt anxious and guilty.

If it was true that she did something with good intentions and ended up with her daughter-in-law like this, she would not be able to face her daughter-in-law.

When Mrs. Gu was feeling anxious, her daughter-in-law mumbled in her sleep that she felt uncomfortable. Her son immediately stroked her face and said softly, "The doctor will be here soon. Wait a little longer."

After saying this, Gu Shixing looked at Chu Yi who was waiting in the room and said with a sullen face, "Go and have a look. Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

Chu Yi bowed quickly, then walked out of the house and hurried to the front to check.

Gu Shixing looked back at Su Yun and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mrs. Gu was very nervous. Her eyes fell on her son's hand tightly holding that of his daughter-in-law. His eyes were fixed on his wife, and after listening to what she had just said, she was obviously very nervous and anxious.

Mrs. Gu had never seen her son like this before. Even when he encountered difficult problems in the past, he always handled them calmly. But now he was still calm, but from the details, it could be seen that he was anxious and extremely worried.

She had a strange feeling in her heart, but because her daughter-in-law was still unconscious, she didn't have the mind to think about this abnormality.

After a while, the doctor finally arrived, almost being carried by someone else.

Before I could catch my breath, I was called into the house.

If it were someone else, he would have scolded him long ago, but this was the Marquis's Mansion. He did not dare to delay and hurriedly checked the symptoms of the prince's wife and then took her pulse.

There were two pairs of eyes staring at him, one was the prince, the other was the marquis' wife, and the doctor's back was slightly wet with sweat.

After taking the pulse, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God that the prince's wife did not have a serious illness.

After a long while, he stood up.

Gu Shixing immediately asked: "What's the matter, madam?"

The doctor asked respectfully, "Has your wife ever had this condition before?"

Chu Yi, who had been serving Su Yun since childhood, was the most clear about this and quickly replied, "This has never happened before."

The doctor thought for a moment before replying, "It is very likely that you ate something wrong, which caused the rash and high fever."

At this point, he asked, "What did the prince's wife eat today?"

Hearing this question, Mrs. Gu's heart tightened again.

Chu Yiying: "My wife was very busy yesterday. She didn't even eat any cakes except for drinking tea during the day. Her breakfast, lunch and dinner were also prepared as usual."

Madam Gu asked hurriedly, "I also drank snow lotus stewed with black chicken. It was a prescription prescribed by the imperial physician in the palace. Many people are using it, but I haven't heard of any problems."

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are there any herbs here that the wife of the prince has never taken?"

Gu Shixing recalled what Su Yun said when he was drinking the soup, and then said, "My wife has never taken snow lotus before."

The doctor pondered for a while, then took out a packet of medicine powder from the box and handed it to Gu Shixing beside him: "Although the snow lotus is a tonic, it should be an irritant for your wife. Mix it with three-quarters of a cup of hot water and drink it. It may relieve your current condition."

When he came, the doctor heard the symptoms described by the servants in the Marquis' Mansion and had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, so he also brought some emergency medicines.

Gu Shixing took the powder, but it was immediately taken away by Mrs. Gu, who said in a trembling voice: "I'll do it."

Having said that, he went to pour the tea himself without asking any subordinates to do so. However, he felt so guilty that even his hands trembled slightly as he poured the tea.

Gu Shixing looked at his nervous and guilty mother, thought for a moment, whispered a few instructions to Chu Yi beside him, then sat back in the chair at the head of the bed and gently stroked his wife's hairline.

After his mother brought back the water, Gu Shixing took it and slowly fed it to Su Yun's lips, coaxing her in a low voice: "Drink the water and you will feel better."

This scene was extremely gentle in the eyes of others.

After being fed water mixed with medicine powder, Su Yun's breathing slowed down a little.

Chuyi was left to serve in the inner room, while Gu Shixing, his mother, and the doctor went to the outer room.

After asking, the doctor advised me not to continue eating snow lotus, and to continue taking the powder for another hour. I could use the decoction tomorrow morning after the fever subsided. After the fever subsided, I would be able to wake up.

But someone has to be watching all night.

After the doctor finished speaking, Madam Gu asked anxiously, "Is the condition of the prince's wife serious?"

The doctor said: "Fortunately, there is someone beside us. Let's continue searching. If there is no one, I'm afraid..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.

Mrs. Gu's face suddenly turned pale.

The doctor hurriedly said, "But now that it has been discovered in time, you can rest for a few days and take medicine for a few days. There shouldn't be any big problems. But remember to avoid certain foods, eat less meat, and eat light meals."

Gu Shixing nodded and said, "Then please ask the doctor to write a prescription and have someone get the medicine. The doctor will need to stay overnight tonight."

After everything was arranged and the doctor left, Gu Shixing said to his mother, "Don't think too much, mother. No one knows that Ayun can't eat snow lotus. It's not your fault. Mother, go and rest first."

Mrs. Gu's eyes were red, and her voice was choked and trembling as she said, "How can I rest when I think about how Ah Yun became like this because of me?"

At this time, Chu Yi, who had just sent the doctor out of the room, followed the prince's instructions and called Marquis Gu in.

Gu Hou understood the whole story, took his wife into his arms, and comforted her for a while before persuading her: "Let's go to the next room and wait, and let Xing'er take care of her. Too many people in the room will affect my daughter-in-law's rest."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to agree, but she was still worried and reminded her again that if anything happened or Ayun woke up, she should call her immediately.

After getting the response, she left with her husband.

After arriving at the next room and closing the door, Mrs. Gu immediately couldn't control her tears and started to sob softly.

It took her a while to recover. She said to her husband, "Ayun has only been married to the Marquis' Mansion for a few months, but she has done everything very well. Even when she was bullied by the second and third brothers' sisters-in-law, she did not seem to feel a little aggrieved, but responded calmly. It can be seen that she is steady, and she can't find any fault with me as a mother-in-law. I am very satisfied with her child, and I also want her to recover better. I didn't expect this to happen."

Marquis Gu took her into his arms and gently stroked her back to soothe her.

"What should I do if Ayun wakes up and hates me?" Mrs. Gu said anxiously.

Marquis Gu whispered to comfort him: "My daughter-in-law is a reasonable person and will not bear a grudge against you for this."

Mrs. Gu buried herself in her husband's arms, sobbing softly, showing only her vulnerability in front of her husband.

As the night ended and the day dawned, the candlelight had burned out and the sky was already bright.

Su Yun woke up when she was being fed a bitter and unpalatable medicine. She choked several times and reached out to push away the spoon from her mouth without opening her eyes.

Then she heard Gu Shixing's voice that seemed to be filled with surprise and joy - "Ayun, are you awake?"

Su Yun slowly opened her eyes. After a while, her eyes gradually became clear. She looked at Gu Shixing in confusion: "What's wrong with me?"

Gu Shixing helped her sit up and told her what happened last night. After that, he asked, "How do you feel now?"

Su Yun said weakly: "I feel very uncomfortable and tired, and my body is a little itchy."

Gu Shixing said gently: "Don't scratch it, it will break your skin."

When Su Yun heard this, the ugly image of himself with scratches all over his body appeared in his mind, and the hand that was about to scratch the itch immediately calmed down.

After waking up, he drank the medicine obediently, and then asked, "Where is mother?"

Gu Shixing: "In the next room, I'm afraid he didn't sleep all night either."

"Then quickly send someone to tell my mother that I'm awake and let her go back to rest. My incident was just an accident, so don't blame her."

When Su Yun heard that she was like this because she drank the medicine her mother-in-law sent her last night, she didn't feel any resentment. After all, it was really just an accident that no one had expected.

When Mrs. Gu heard that her daughter-in-law had woken up, she hurried over from the next room with slightly red and swollen eyes. When she saw her daughter-in-law, her face was full of guilt.

Sitting down on the bed, he choked up a little and said, "Ayun, I am sorry for you."

Su Yun shook her head: "Mother, you worry too much. Mother didn't know, and I didn't know that I couldn't use such a rare thing, but fortunately I know it now, and I won't take it by mistake again in the future."

"You, child, are still sick, but you comfort me instead." Mrs. Gu felt a little more touched.

Su Yun smiled weakly: "So mother, please don't blame yourself, then I can feel more at ease."

Mrs. Gu's heart gradually warmed up. If she was satisfied with her daughter-in-law before because of her son's shy hobbies and the impeccable work, now her satisfaction is accompanied by a genuine love for her.

After talking for a while, Su Yun felt a little tired, so Mrs. Gu went back.

Only the couple were left in the room. Su Yun glanced at Gu Shixing's obviously haggard face and asked him, "Did your husband not sleep all night?"

Gu Shixing nodded and brushed her hair away from her forehead: "You need someone to take care of you. Besides, I'm worried about you and can't sleep."

"Do you want to get some sleep?"

Gu Shixing responded with a low "OK", then got on the bed, next to Su Yun, and held her in his arms. Feeling her body temperature, his anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

Su Yun thought of the red dot she had just seen on her wrist. She knew without looking in the mirror that it was too shameful to be seen. She gently pushed her husband who was hugging her.

Gu Shixing said in a low voice, “Hmm?”

Su Yun asked: "Do I look ugly now?"

Hearing this, Gu Shixing pecked her forehead lightly, looked into her eyes, and replied, "Not ugly, still very beautiful."

Su Yun snorted lightly, with a bit of pampering when she was sick: "You lied, and you still tried to coax me."

Gu Shixing tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms: "No matter when or where, you are always beautiful in my eyes."

Su Yun's face flushed slightly, but she immediately felt that he was different today. He was a little more tense both emotionally and physically.

He must have been frightened by her coma last night.

Thinking of this, she hugged his waist back and whispered, "We'll discuss whether it's beautiful or not after you wake up."

"it is good."

He whispered again.

Gu Shixing rarely feared anything, but when he found Su Yun unconscious last night, he was very scared, afraid that something bad might happen to Su Yun. Even in the second half of the night after the doctor examined her, his hands were shaking slightly when he touched her.

If he would lose her in this life, he would rather not come back.

Now, feeling her body temperature and smelling her breath, my heart has calmed down.
