Then, she heard the Marquis of Zhenguoâ s wife continue, âAfter Lord Shi took a look at Mingzhao, he said everything would be fine if he woke up. It was also because his life was at stake that I mentioned it. Brother Si drowned a while ago and it was also extremely dangerous. He only survived because he used the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill that Sister Yao made.â
She could mention the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill because the Song and Yu families were close friends. If the Yu Residence still had the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence would definitely be able to obtain it.
If it were anyone elseâs family, they definitely wouldnât have asked for this.
Yu Youyao was also a little surprised. She did not expect the Marquisâs wife to suddenly come to the Yu Residence to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance
The Marquis of Zhenguoâs wife said, âLord Shi said that the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is made of Musk, Rhodiola, and Borneol. It has a miraculous effect on patients who have fainted and canât take medicine. The fragrance connects to their meridians, clears their qi flow, and enters their hearts. Itâs a very rare life-saving medicine. If Mingzhao can use the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, there might be a chance of survival.â
Yu Youyao lowered her eyes. Just a few days after saving Yu Shansi, she had given three Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pills to her grandmother!
At this point, the Marquis of Zhenguoâs wifeâs voice was no longer filled with pleading. âI know that itâs not easy to make the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. Itâs very rare. Iâm afraid there arenât many in the Yu Residence. Itâs only because of Sister Yaoâs filial piety that sheâs bothered to make it to ensure your safety. Itâs really inappropriate for me to take the liberty to visit you today to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill.â As she spoke, the Marquis of Zhenguoâs wife knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face. âBut, Old Matriarch, Mingzhao is still so young. As his mother, how can I watch him⦠Please pity me, pity me as his motherâ¦â
âDaughter-in-law Xiu Qi, what are you doing? Get up quickly.â Old Madam Yu was shocked. She quickly bent down and helped the Marquisâs wife up. She said angrily, âDonât be pretentious. One moment, youâre crying, and the next, youâre kneeling. Since the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill can save Mingzhaoâs life, why didnât you say so earlier? No matter how precious and rare the Musk
Medicinal Fragrance Pill is, it canât be more important than Mingzhaoâs life. Are you muddle-headed from anxiety?!
The Marquisâs wife was also stunned.
She also knew that with the relationship between the Song and Yu families, as long as the Yu Residence still had the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, they were willing to take it out.
However, her son had been unconscious for three days and three nights, and bad news kept coming out.
She was really afraid and desperate.
Now that she knew that her son still had a chance of survival, even if she threw away her face, she would definitely ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill to save her sonâs life.
What was kneeling?
She was even willing to die!
Old Madam Yu quickly instructed Nanny Liu, âHurry up and get the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill from my room.â
Nanny Liu quickly entered the house.
After hearing Old Madam Yuâs words, the Marquisâs wife finally heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down a little. Only then did she realize that Yu Youyao had already helped her to a chair and handed her a cup of tea.
After crying for a while, the Marquisâs wife felt thirsty, so she took the tea and drank it.
The temperature of the tea was just right. It was neither cold nor hot.
After drinking a cup of tea, the Marquisâs wife felt much better. She finally understood why Old Madam always said that Yu Youyao was considerate.
Yu Youyao handed her another bowl of lotus seed soup. âI think Auntie came over before she had time to eat breakfast. This is the fresh lotus seed soup picked from the lotus lake at home. Have some to fill your stomach. When you get home, Iâm afraid you wonât have a chance to eat when youâre busy.â
Her voice was gentle and filled with concern, causing the Marquisâs wifeâs anxious heart to calm down. âOkay, good child!â
She took the lotus seed soup and drank it.
Even though she had no appetite, she forced herself to swallow it.
Mingzhao was still unconscious and couldnât do without her, his mother, to take care of him. Old Madamâs health wasnât good either, and the other houses in the residence were all alert, waiting to see the first house make a fool of themselves.
She couldnât fall.
Soon, Nanny Xu returned to the hall with the palm-sized box.
Old Madam Yu personally took the box and stood up from her chair. âDaughter-in-law Xiu Qi, the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is here. Yao Yao and I will go to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence with you. We can take care of each other.â
The Marquisâs wife was extremely grateful. âThank you!â
They finally arrived at the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.
As soon as they got out of the carriage, the Marquisâs wife immediately helped Old Madam Yu to the Jiuzhao Pavilion.
Yu Youyao followed behind.
The Jiuzhao Pavilion where Song Mingzhao lived was the best place in the residence that the old Marquis of Zhenguo had chosen. It had been built by a lot of people and occupied an area about the size of the Jade Courtyard. There was a lake and a man-made mountain inside.
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was a large courtyard with five entrances. Song Mingzhao alone occupied one-fifth of the courtyard.
Yu Youyao did not dream about the Jiuzhao Pavilion in her nightmare.
After walking along the corridor for a while, they finally arrived at Song Mingzhaoâs room.
It wasnât appropriate for Yu Youyao to enter the inner room.
However, Old Madam Yu said, âYou made the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. You know best how to use it. Go in and take a look.â
She had specially asked Yao Yao to follow her because she had this intention.
Human lives were at stake, and there was no room for negligence.
Yu Youyao wanted to say that she could just put the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill into the incense cauldron and burn it. However, when she looked up, she saw the Marquisâs wife looking at her expectantly, so she nodded.
Actually, just as Yu Youyao had seen with her own eyes that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence also had a âFrost Residence.â She no longer only wanted to not get involved with Song Mingzhao.
Instead, she wanted to keep a respectful distance!
Whether the nightmare was real or not, she believed that everything in the world had a cause and effect.
Being with Song Mingzhao would not lead to any good outcome.
She could refuse her grandmother, but she couldnât refuse a mother in despair.
She was a pitiful mother.
As soon as she entered the inner room, Yu Youyao smelled an unpleasant medicinal bitterness mixed with a faint and lingering smell of blood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Madam Yu hurriedly went to the bed and saw Song Mingzhao lying on the bed with a pale face. He did not look like a living person.
Yu Youyao followed behind and couldnât help but jump in shock. She was about to leave the bed whenâ¦
For some reason, Song Mingzhao, who was lying on the bed like a dead man, suddenly felt like he had a stroke and his entire body was convulsing.
There was a gurgling sound from his throat, and his ashen face was almost distorted. He seemed to be in great pain.
Suddenlyâ
Song Mingzhao clutched his chest tightly and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
âAhââ The scene in front of her scared Yu Youyao. She let out a low cry and thought of the incomplete dreams in her nightmare.
The older Yao Yao had grown up soaking in the medicinal dew of the Xie family.
It was unknown what kind of fate Divine Physician Xie had with the Xie Residence, but he actually knew that the medicinal dew of the Xie Residence was a witchcraft medicine that had been passed down for a thousand years. It was used all year round and had the effect of strengthening the body and extending oneâs lifespan..
