Old Madam Yuâs sudden fainting really frightened everyone in the room.
After leaving the messy house, the Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence calmed down a little and quickly instructed the maidservant in front of her, âQuickly go to the front courtyard and invite the imperial physician who came to admire the flowers today. I remember that Imperial Physician Hu is also here. Youâ¦
Her voice suddenly stopped!
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence suddenly remembered that the Third Prince had fallen into the water at the crepe myrtle garden. She felt dizzy again and was lucky to be supported by the maidservant in front of her to stabilize herself.
There was a wound on the princess consortâs head, and blood flowed down her cheek. The maidservant was very worried. âPrincess Consort, the wound on your foreheadâ¦â
Only then did the Consort of Rong remember that she had been hit by Old Madam Yuâs teacup and bled. No wonder she kept feeling a headache and a little dizzy.
It would have been better if she hadnât mentioned it, but at the mention of her numb wound, she felt another sharp pain.
âAhââ The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence immediately pinched her handkerchief and covered her head tightly. However, she did not forget to instruct, âSend Imperial Physician Hu to see the Third Prince in the crepe myrtle gardenâ¦â As she gave the instructions, the Princess Consort of Duke
Rongs Residence had a terrible headache and could not help but curse softly, âDamn old woman, your grip is so strong. You even said that your health isnât good and you fainted just like that. Iâm afraid youâre pretending!â
However, at this moment, on one side, the Third Prince had fallen into the water. She did not know how he was doing.
On the other side, Old Madam Yu had fainted and was also in the dark.
No matter what happened, the Duke Rongâs Residence would be in trouble.
The situation was critical, so she had to invite the imperial physician over first. The Princess Consort of Duke Rongs Residence couldnât care less about her head injury for the time being and planned to return to the reception pavilion to take a look at Old Madam Yuâs condition.
However, she was still worried about the Third Prince. âGo and invite the imperial physician first. Iâll go to the crepe myrtle garden personally.â
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence looked back at the reception pavilion, gritted her teeth, and left.
Of the two bad outcomes, she chose the less harmful one.
How could Old Madam Yuâs life be more precious than the Third Princeâs?
If something happened to Old Madam Yu, there was still room for the Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence to find a way out. If something happened to the Third Prince, the Duke Rongâs Residence would really be accused of âconspiring to murder the prince.â
There was still the old princess consort here, and the imperial physician had been invited over.
However, she did not know what was going on with the Third Prince. If she did not make a trip personally, how could she feel at ease?
In the reception pavilion, the old princess consort arranged for servants to lead all the Madams and Madams present to the Fangfei Courtyard. Other than
the people from the Yu Residence, only the Marquis of Zhenguoâs wife and Eldest Madam Qi stayed behind to support them in the huge reception pavilion.
A few old maids moved a few partition doors over and surrounded Old Madam Yu, creating a small room.
The old princess consort had taken out all her secret medicine, as well as precious medicinal herbs like ginseng and lingzhi. Whether they were useful or not was secondary. She had to show her sincerity.
Yu Youyaoâs eyes turned red as she pinched Old Madam Yu.
Old Madam Yu still showed no signs of waking up.
The atmosphere became even more solemn.
Madam Yaoâs eyes turned red as she forced herself to calm down. She sent someone to inform the old masters in the front courtyard, as well as Yu Shuangbai and Yu Jianjia, who were admiring the flowers in Fangfei Courtyard.
All the necessary arrangements had been made, but Matriarch had yet to wake up.
Madam Yao couldnât help either. She could only stand at the side and watch anxiously.
The Marquis of Zhenguoâs wife and Eldest Madam Qi were also very worried. They sat on Madam Yaoâs left and right and comforted her softly.
Yu Youyao lit a Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill and took off the heavy crown on her grandmotherâs head. She loosened her bun and undid her imperial mandate dress.
She instructed Nanny Liu, âGrandmother has fainted. You and I will press on her left and right hands at the same time. Do you remember where the acupuncture points are?
Nanny Liu said calmly, âEldest Miss has taught me before. I remember!â
Her grandmother was old and often fainted in the past. After learning the acupuncture points from Nanny Xu, she had memorized the five acupuncture points emergency method and taught her grandmotherâs servants to be safe.
Today, it came in handy. Yu Youyao instructed Qing Xiu, âGo and press Grandmotherâs acupuncture point.â
Qing Xiu immediately agreed.
There were a total of four acupuncture points on her left and right hands. In addition, there was the Ren Zhong pressure point. One would press all the acupuncture points at the same time to save an unconscious patient.
Seeing that Yu Youyao was very calm and did not panic at all, the people in the room felt more or less stable.
At this moment, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door.
Outside, Madam Luoâs voice sounded. âThe old princess consort and the royal prince have brought the imperial physician over. Eldest Master Yu and Second Master Yu are worried about Old Madam Yu, so theyâre also here. Theyâre waiting outside the reception pavilion.â
They did not enter directly. They were probably worried that she would offend the women in the inner courtyard, so they asked Madam Luo to come over and report first.
The old princess consortâs heart relaxed, and her straight back collapsed. She said anxiously, âQuickly invite the imperial physician, Eldest Master Yu, and Second Master Yu in.â
All the women in the reception pavilion had gone to Fangfei Courtyard, and the backyard had been cleared. Eldest Master Yu and Second Master Yu were worried about Old Madam Yu, so it was understandable that they had followed the imperial physician over.
The group quickly entered the reception pavilion and arrived at the door.
Old Madam Yu lay on the ground, unconscious.
Yu Youyao knelt on the ground and helped Old Madam Yu massage her acupuncture points.
Yu Zongzhengs expression did not look good. He quickly turned around and invited Imperial Physician Hu in to treat Old Madam Yu.
The smile on Yu Zongshenâs face disappeared. In the past two years, his motherâs health had improved a lot, so she wouldnât suddenly faint after attending a flower festival.
Duke Rongâs scalp went numb. He looked around the room but did not see the princess consort. His heart was beating like a drum. Clearly, he did not know that the Third Prince had fallen into the water.
When Madam Yao saw Master coming over, she immediately wiped her tears and called out hoarsely, âMaster!â
Yu Zongshen asked in a low voice, âHowâs Motherâs condition?
Madam Yaoâs eyes welled up with tears again. She said hoarsely, âMother has already been unconscious for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. There was no reaction when she was pinched. She used the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, and the effect wasnât that fast. Yao Yao helped Mother perform first aid by pressing her acupuncture pointsâ¦â
After Imperial Physician Hu entered the door, he was in no hurry to take Old Madam Yuâs pulse. Instead, he first checked the incense used, then observed Yu Youyaoâs first aid.
After that, Imperial Physician Hu nodded. âThe Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is very thorough.â He walked up to Old Madam Yu and checked her eyelids. After confirming Old Madam Yuâs condition, he said, âEldest Miss Yu, you can stop now. Let me take her pulse.â
âThank you, Imperial Physician Hu!â Yu Youyao quickly stood up and bowed to him. Her legs felt sore and numb, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
âYoung Miss!â Chun Xiao quickly supported her young miss with a worried expression.
Only then did Yu Youyao realize that Chun Xiao was nearby. âIâm fine. I wonât disturb Imperial Physician Hu from taking Grandmotherâs pulse.â The reception pavilion was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop..
