"The identity of a third-rank official's daughter is not enough to be the Crown Princess. Yan Muqing was previously known as the most talented woman in Luodu, but she was just barely qualified to compete. Now she has humiliated the royal family more than once, and the best she can get is the position of a concubine. Even if the Crown Prince makes a big fuss, there is no way he can ask for the position of the principal wife for her."

Yan Muxi looked up and the haze of the past few days had dissipated without her noticing, leaving only the clear blue sky.

Yan Muqing, you schemed to get me into the palace, and I sent you into the East Palace, now we're even!

When the sky was just getting light, there was a lot of noise coming from Manwei Garden.

Dong Yu went over to inquire, and in the blink of an eye, she came back, "Miss, something bad has happened. Madam Man has developed a high fever for no reason, and she is sleeping so soundly that we can't wake her up no matter how hard we call her!"

Yan Muxi quickly got up from the bed and said, "Hurry up and get me some clothes. Is Jin Chun here?"

Yinxia helped her dress and button her clothes skillfully, "Don't worry, Miss. Jinchun has passed away. Madam Man has always been in good health, so she should be fine."

At Manwei Garden, when Yan Muxi arrived, Jin Chun had just finished taking the pulse. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Madam's pulse is normal, and she doesn't show any symptoms of illness or weakness."

Yan Muxi walked forward and touched A Niang's neck, which was burning hot. "A Niang's body is so hot, how can I not diagnose the disease?"

Jin Chun examined her carefully again and said, "Madam Man's pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow. I did not diagnose any symptoms of wind-cold or wind-heat."

"What should we do? Can you reduce the fever for Madam first? If the fever continues, she will be burned to death!" Mother Liu wiped her tears anxiously.

Yin Xia advised: "Don't worry, mom. It's safer to wait until other doctors have examined you before using the medicine. Let's wait!"

Yan Muxi was no less anxious than Mother Liu. Jin Chun had been taken care of by Aunt Ming for several years in Jiangnan, and her medical skills were not bad. If A Niang just had an ordinary cold or fever, there was no way Jin Chun would not be able to diagnose it.

After a cup of tea, Dong Yu pulled Yan Muyun into the room and said, "Miss San, please come and check on my wife. She's clearly having a fever, but why can't you tell her pulse?"

"Don't be anxious, let me catch my breath!" Yan Muyun's hair was still loose. She took advantage of the time to calm her breath to take off the silver hairpin on her head and casually tied her hair into a bun.

After his heart rate returned to normal, he sat on the stool beside the bed and took Qian Manman's pulse.

As soon as he put his finger on it, Yan Mujun's expression immediately became serious, as if he was unsure. He released his finger and put it down again, repeating this several times. Then he looked carefully at Qian Manman's eyes and tongue, and then looked at everyone in disbelief.

"Mother's pulse is healthy, and we can't diagnose any disease!"

Yan Muxi turned around and walked out, and Dong Yu hurriedly followed behind her, "Miss, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the main courtyard. You don't need to follow me!"

Upon learning that Qian Manman had suddenly developed a rare illness, Su, who had just woken up, had no time to wash up. She hurriedly wrote a note and sent a servant to Fang's house to ask for Dr. Fang.

Fortunately, Doctor Fang had not yet gone to the Imperial Hospital to serve as a medic, and he arrived in less than an hour.

Doctor Fang examined Qian Manman carefully and surprisingly, her diagnosis was consistent with that of Jin Chun and Yan Muyun. "Madam's pulse is neither floating, tight nor strong. From the surface, she does not have any symptoms."

Mother Liu didn't care about the hierarchy and asked hurriedly: "The pulse can't tell the disease, could it be that my wife has been possessed by evil spirits?"

Doctor Fang shook his head, "I can only diagnose and treat illnesses, so I can't say whether Madam has an evil spirit in her body."

Yan Muxi thought about it again and again, and finally asked the question in his heart, "A Niang is not sick but has a high fever and is unconscious. Is it possible that she is poisoned?"

Out of the doctors' curiosity, Yan Muyun and Jin Chun looked at each other tacitly and saw confusion in each other's eyes. It was obvious that neither of them diagnosed that Qian Manman had symptoms of poisoning.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Fang took out a silver needle and drew blood from Qian Manman's tongue and fingertips to verify. The silver needle was still clean and transparent when it came into contact with blood. "I can conclude that Madam is not poisoned."

If it is neither illness nor poisoning, then it must be a disease that is difficult to treat by human power.

Yan Muxi's heart sank to the bottom. She forced herself to ask, "Since I can't diagnose the disease, can you give me acupuncture to reduce my fever first?"

No matter whether you are sick or possessed by evil spirits, it is definitely not good if your body keeps having a high fever.

Doctor Fang thought for a moment and said, "You can try it, but as to whether it can reduce the fever, I dare not make any rash statements."

Yan Muxi nodded and agreed, "Okay, old man, please treat my mother. I believe in your medical skills!"

Doctor Fang has been practicing medicine for decades and is the most experienced doctor in the Imperial Hospital. If even Doctor Fang cannot cure A Niang's condition, it is likely that it will be difficult to find a doctor who can cure A Niang in the entire Luodu city.

Forced fever reduction requires acupuncture in private parts of the body. Old Doctor Fang is directing from behind a screen, while Yan Muyun is responsible for giving the acupuncture.

After the last injection, Qian Manman woke up slowly. She opened her eyes and saw a room full of people. Her almond-shaped eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Why are you in my room?"

When he saw the silver needles on his body, his eyes widened even more, "I, I, am I sick again?"

"Ma'am, you had a fever and passed out, but you didn't realize it at all?" Mrs. Liu asked worriedly.

Qian Manman shook her head in confusion. "I ate bird's nest porridge last night and fell asleep soon after. I didn't even have a dream. I didn't feel any discomfort in my body!"

After removing the silver needle, Old Doctor Fang took Qian Manman's pulse again, and found that she was still healthy and strong, and could not find any symptoms.

Qian Manman was also in very good spirits and did not feel any discomfort all over her body, as if she had never had a fever.

After seeing everyone off, Yan Muxi felt a little worried, so he stayed in Manwei Garden to accompany his mother.

At the dinner table, she pretended not to care and asked, "I heard that the food in the kitchen has been good recently. Did you eat anything outside yesterday?"

Qian Manman shook her head without even thinking, "No, no matter how good the food in the big kitchen is, it can't compare to the food in our small kitchen. What's the matter? Sister Xi is tired of the food in the small kitchen and wants to change her taste?"

Yan Muxi denied, "No, I'm just curious about what my mother ate and whether she ate anything delicious behind my back."

Qian Manman rolled her eyes at her, "Tsk, am I the kind of selfish and short-sighted person? Not to mention the worthless food, even if the peaches from the Heavenly Palace were placed in front of me, I would share them with you."

Unable to find anything suspicious, Yan Muxi asked Liu's mother privately. Liu's mother also said that her mother had not eaten any food from outside, so the possibility of food poisoning could be basically ruled out.

Qian Manman's lunch and dinner were the same as usual, and her appetite was even better than usual, so she ate half a bowl of rice more at each meal.

He waited until the hour of Xu to fall asleep, and seeing that his mother was still fine, Yan Muxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, Qian Manman fell into a coma again and had a high fever.
