The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 3 Rebirth (1)

In the afternoon, a ray of sunlight shone through the slightly dilapidated window into the room, covering the entire yard, making the house brighter and creating a little warmth.

"Miss, Miss, Miss, please wake up. The elixir has been fed to me. Please, Miss, please wake up."

Yang Qi felt a little uncomfortable being shaken, with noisy voices constantly ringing her ears. She opened her eyes dazedly and found an old lady sitting beside the bed. She was wearing a green dress, her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she didn't have any hair accessories or jewelry on her body, but she was shaking herself constantly.

Hey, isn't this He's mother? It turns out that after death, one can really see the deceased. This is good. I don't know when I can see my mother. I have never seen her since I was a child! Seeing He's mother means that I can see her with my own eyes soon.

When Mother He saw Yang Qi slowly open her eyes, she was immediately overjoyed, "Miss, you finally woke up. Miss, the madam can rest assured down there." As she spoke, Mother He wiped away the tears that were left due to excessive excitement.

"Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable now?" As he said that, he touched Yang Qi's forehead with his hand.

After this test, he found that Yang Qi's fever had subsided and her forehead was not as hot as before. He said happily, "Miss, your fever has subsided now. You are finally out of danger."

Yang Qi looked at He's mother talking to herself, and was extremely confused. Wasn't he burned to death? What was He's mother talking about?

Yang Qi was about to ask, but his throat was burning with pain and he couldn't speak at all. Hearing He's mother's voice, he could only nod slightly in response.

Mother He looked at the tiny Yang Qi in front of her, and tears welled up in her eyes again: "Miss, luckily Madam left you some magical medicine at the end, otherwise, I don't know what to do. This smallpox is really too dangerous."

Smallpox? I did have smallpox, but that was when I was four years old. When I was four years old, smallpox suddenly broke out in the capital, and many children, including those from wealthy families, could not escape the disaster of smallpox. The Duke of Song's Mansion was no exception. Song Yanglan and Song Yangqi both got smallpox, but Song Yanglan was the first to get it.

"Girl, are you hungry now? I'll go get you a bowl of porridge." Mother He looked at Yang Qi's dazed look, thinking that Yang Qi was feeling uncomfortable with her own bitterness, and wanted Yang Qi to think about something else.

Yang Qi nodded after hearing what He's mother said. Now he really had no strength at all, so he had to eat something as soon as possible to recover his strength.

Mother He served the porridge, which was simple white porridge, not even with much rice. But Yang Qi didn't think much about it, and when the porridge cooled down a little, he drank it quickly without any other side dishes.

After swallowing the porridge, Yang Qi felt stronger and more comfortable. Although his throat was still burning, he was able to speak.

Without wiping his mouth, Yang Qi looked down at his hands. They were so small and thin. They were not what they were now. He lived in a manor outside the capital. He had no maids and had to do everything by himself. His hands, especially the fingers, became wrinkled. Was he really reborn? He returned to the year when he was 4 years old and had smallpox.

Yang Qi looked around the room carefully. The furnishings in the room were very simple. He was lying on a four-corner bed against the wall, with a white curtain hanging on it. Next to the four-corner bed was a dressing table with a bronze mirror on it, but there were not many jewelries in front of the mirror. The bedroom was separated from the back door by a screen.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the house uses a screen to separate the small table and chairs where guests are often received, and a small door to separate the lake behind the yard. This small door is very cleverly designed. In order to avoid looking awkward to people who come to enjoy the view of the lake behind, the materials and colors were deliberately chosen to be consistent with the wall. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that there is a door here.

This is truly my boudoir at home before I got married.

Mother He watched Yang Qi finish a large bowl of porridge, and her face became happier: "Miss, I will go to boil the medicine now. I haven't taken the medicine for lunch yet. I'll be outside. If you feel uncomfortable, call me."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "Okay, Mother He."

After He's mother left, Yang Qi took a deep breath and pinched his thigh with his hand. The pain in his leg made Yang Qi gasp. To make sure that he was not dreaming, Yang Qi whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I am really alive again!"

Mother He brought the medicine in quickly. Every time Yang Qi took the medicine, Mother He had a headache because Yang Qi was extremely reluctant. There was no candied fruit in the room to relieve the pain. However, this time, Yang Qi took the medicine bowl from Mother He and swallowed it in one breath without frowning. Seeing Yang Qi's performance, Mother He felt that the young lady was much more sensible after waking up this time.

Not sure if it was because he hadn’t recovered from the burn in his previous life, or because of the smallpox this time, but Yang Qi always felt his body was loose and soft, and he soon fell asleep again.

He slept until the evening. He didn't know if it was the effect of the medicine he took at noon, but when he woke up he felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing that it was almost dark outside, he called He's mother to come in.

"Mother He, has the doctor come today?"

Mother He paused. She didn't expect that the young lady would find out this. "The young lady is fine. The second lady is in charge of the household affairs now. The second lady is also ill. The second lady has a lot of things to do now and may have overlooked it. I will find someone to report to the second lady tomorrow. Also, the young lady's illness this time was really urgent and no doctor could be found. At that time, the young lady had a high fever and was talking nonsense. I had no choice but to feed the young lady some elixirs left by the lady. I was also very nervous, but fortunately the elixirs really worked!"

Hearing this, Yang Qi's face was shocked, and he quickly asked Mother He: "Mother He, have you mentioned the matter of the elixir to other people?"

Seeing Yang Qi's serious face, He's mother said, "I have never mentioned it to anyone, I swear." He's mother looked at Yang Qi's serious expression and hurriedly swore.

"No need to swear," Yang Qi said, stopping He's mother. "But, He's mother, you must not tell anyone about this magical medicine. A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. No one else can know about the existence of the "magic medicine" except the two of us."

The "magic medicine" that He's mother and Yang Qi mentioned is the "Ganoderma Lucidum Rain Dew" made by Doctor Gu himself. Before entering the palace to become a royal physician, my grandfather Doctor Gu traveled all over the Tianyuan Dynasty, practicing medicine everywhere, and collected many extremely precious medicinal materials in the world. Doctor Gu obtained the current ratio and prescription through repeated preparations and multiple experiments, and then cut the "Ganoderma Lucidum Rain Dew" into powder and stored it well.

Yang Qi's mother is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family and the apple of their eye. Doctor Gu gave most of the "Ganoderma Lucidum Rain Dew" powder to Yang Qi's mother, but did not use it as an open dowry. Instead, he kept it as a bargaining chip for Yang Qi's mother's survival in the Duke of Song's Mansion.

In both the past and present lives, Yang Qi never received medical treatment from a doctor. It was Mother He who cured herself with the elixir left by her grandfather. In the past life, after Mother He cured herself with the elixir, Yang Qi knew that the elixir was effective, so she quickly gave it to her grandmother and father like a treasure, thinking that her grandmother would love and care for her more.

In the end, these actions did not make my grandmother and father love me at all, but made them feel that they always had good things, but they could not ask for them, so their attitude towards me became even colder. They did not think that without the elixir, they would not have anything to knock on the door of the noble, and let Yang Lan step on them step by step to the highest position!

In this life, I will never make such a mistake again and will never do such a stupid thing again!
