Chapter 555: Plans for Su Nanxing
Mrs. Cui came over with her maid and was also shocked when she saw Su Lingyue's red back.
"Oh, Princess, why are you bleeding so much?"
Su Lingyue's back and the goose yellow clothes were almost soaked with blood, which made Mrs. Cui feel scared.
The injury must have been severe to bleed so much. Furthermore, the princess's death happened in her mansion. Would the palace blame them for this?
Seeing Su Lingyue's pale face and the look of someone about to faint, Madam Cui asked tentatively, "Princess, do you want me to take you back to the palace?"
Su Lingyue's back hurt so much, her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was so weak she could barely utter a word. "No, Madam, please find Doctor Li from Tai'an Hall and lend me a guest room. I can rest for a while."
Mrs. Cui was very worried about letting such a seriously injured princess continue to stay in the mansion, but in order to calm Prince Su's possible anger, she could only listen to Su Lingyue's words.
"Okay, I'll send someone right away."
After Mrs. Cui finished speaking, she immediately ordered the maid beside her to call Doctor Li.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Cui, Caiyi carried Su Lingyue to the guest room in the courtyard adjacent to the peach blossom forest to rest.
Su Lingyue lay weakly on the bed and said softly, "There are other guests in the mansion. Madam, please go and do your work first. Leave two maids to help."
Looking at Su Lingyue's blood-soaked back, he was filled with worry. "But...Princess, your injury looks serious."
"It's just a flesh wound. A little blood has been shed. It looks scary, but it's nothing serious."
Seeing Su Lingyue say this, Madam Cui did not refuse any more. There were indeed many things in the mansion that needed her to take charge. "Okay, I will leave my two maids here. Princess, please give me any instructions."
Su Lingyue nodded and smiled, "Okay."
After Mrs. Cui left, Caidie went to the carriage to get a change of clothes and the medicine she had brought with her.
After applying medicine to Su Lingyue and changing her clothes, Caidie asked in confusion, "Miss, the medicine has been changed. Do you still need a doctor?"
"Hmm." Su Lingyue responded softly with her eyes closed. "Doctor Li is old, and his eyesight and hearing are not very good, but his pulse-taking skills are still as good as before."
“…” The two were still confused.
"If your eyes are not good, you cannot see the patient's identity; if your ears are not good, you cannot hear the oppression from those in power."
"So the doctor was hired for the second young lady?"
"Ah."
Caiyi asked doubtfully, "But the Second Young Lady will definitely not agree to let the doctor we hired take her pulse."
Su Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth in a determined arc, "That depends on Ajing."
*
Doctor Li was over seventy years old and was supported by a young man in gray clothes and a gray hat.
He had poor hearing, so Caiyi told the young man the situation. After the young man demonstrated on Doctor Li's body, he sat down beside the bed and began to take his pulse through the gauze curtain.
Caiyi tied a handkerchief on Su Lingyue's wrist, then took Doctor Li's hand and placed it on Su Lingyue's wrist.
After a while, Doctor Li finished taking the pulse.
"How is it?" asked Mrs. Cui.
The young man wrote and drew on Doctor Li's hand. Doctor Li nodded to show that he understood and began to reply to Mrs. Cui.
"This young lady has suffered a serious injury and needs to rest in bed until the scabs fall off. Also, she's been worried too much lately, which has damaged her liver and mind. Besides the heavy remedies that need to be supplemented with some calming herbs, she also needs to relax herself, otherwise she'll develop a headache if she continues to do so."
Doctor Li stroked his beard and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is this young lady married?"
Caiyi nodded.
The young man gestured the situation to the old man.
The old man nodded and continued, "This young lady must have suffered internal injuries before, but her body has not been properly treated and recuperated. Over time, it will be difficult for her to have children. If you want to avoid this, you must start recuperating now. I will write the prescription later. Young lady, just take it on time. Within a year, you will see the effect."
Caidie Caiyi was very surprised.
Doctor Li can even tell this from the pulse!
Mrs. Cui standing by also seemed a little embarrassed. She was not suitable to listen to such secrets.
But Su Lingyue seemed unconcerned. She withdrew her hand and said through the gauze curtain, "Doctor Li is a highly skilled doctor. What you described is consistent with my condition. Caiyi, give me your reward."
Caiyi took out a silver ingot from her purse and handed it to Doctor Li. He rubbed it, bowed to express his gratitude, and then handed the silver to the young man behind him.
Mrs. Cui was amazed.
She had heard of Doctor Li.
Everyone said that he was a skilled doctor, but they also heard that he was blind and hard of hearing, so no one in the mansion had ever sought his help for any illness, big or small.
Caiyi walked up to Doctor Li and the young man and said, "Our young lady will need to stay here for another three hours. Could you please let the old doctor rest in the next room for a while and leave after the time is up?"
"This?" The young man looked at Caiyi, then at Doctor Li, and hesitated.
Caiyi said, "After three hours, when you leave, we will give you ten times the consultation fee. Please ask the old doctor if he is willing to do so."
After the young man demonstrated a few words, Doctor Li readily agreed.
After the two of them went to the next room, Madam Cui approached the bed and said to Su Lingyue with concern: "Princess, you are not feeling well, there is no need to force yourself to stay here."
Su Lingyue lifted the gauze curtain and chuckled softly, "I'm very happy to be able to attend the flower viewing banquet today, and I want to have a good time. I especially like the prize of this year's flower viewing banquet. It's okay to wait."
After hearing her say this, Madam Cui could no longer persuade her. To persuade her would be like driving her away. Now that the doctor was in the mansion, she didn't have to worry if something happened.
*
Not long after Mrs. Cui left, Li Jing came looking for her.
"Miss Ajing, you're back!" Caidie greeted her with a smile.
Li Jing ignored him and went straight to the bed.
Seeing Su Lingyue's pale face, Li Jing's pretty face tensed up and she asked in a deep voice, "I was only away for a while, how did you get yourself into this state?"
Su Lingyue smiled awkwardly, "It's just a self-torture trick, don't worry. Fortunately, the harvest is good!"
Su Lingyue roughly told her the whole story.
Caiyi asked, "Now that we know the Second Miss is faking her pregnancy, how do we expose her?"
Su Lingyue raised her head, looked at Li Jing, and asked, "Ajing, you followed Su Nanxing's maid, so I guess there must be some results, right?"
Li Jing nodded, "Yes, the maid walked around and found the kitchen, and sprinkled some things into the lunch specially prepared for Miss Shen."
As she spoke, she took out an oil-paper package from her bosom and opened it to reveal a piece of braised dried sea fish.
Shen Bi grew up near the sea and was more accustomed to sea fish. This time, the Cui family was thoughtful and made special preparations after asking clearly.
And this also happened to give Su Nanxing an opportunity.
This dish of braised dried sea fish is only available at Shen Bi's restaurant. People who have lived in the capital for a long time prefer to eat fresh fish.
Su Ling also took the fish wrapped in oil paper and sniffed it twice before immediately frowning. "It contains a strong aphrodisiac."
"This..." Caiyi expressed her guess, "Second Miss wants Miss Shen to lose her virginity before marriage?"
Su Lingyue nodded, "The Crown Prince's Mansion will never have a concubine who lost her virginity before marriage. If Shen Bi eats it, her position as a concubine will be completely gone!"
"Then what should we do?" Caidie blinked her big eyes and asked blankly.
Su Lingyue looked at the medicine box she brought from the palace. "There's a bottle of hazelnut powder in it. Ah Jing, find a chance to put it in Su Nanxing's food later. Su Nanxing is allergic to hazelnuts."
Caidie curled her lips in disappointment, "I thought the young lady was going to let her suffer the consequences!"
Su Lingyue looked at Caidie's dejected expression and said with a smile, "Silly Caidie, if he had also used aphrodisiacs, how could he have let Doctor Li take his pulse in front of so many people?"
She put away the smile on her face and stared coldly at the gauze curtain in front of her, as if she could see Su Nanxing's vicious face through the gauze curtain.
Past and present lives completely overlap.
From the moment Su Nanxing wanted to kill to silence the witness today, Su Lingyue’s last chance for Su Nanxing was gone.
The two sisters have been at war until death, both in past and present lives.
"I will completely shatter her dream of becoming the Crown Princess. It will never happen again in this lifetime!"
In the previous life, Su Nanxing climbed to a high position by stepping on her flesh and blood. In this life, she will make sure that Su Nanxing will never be able to turn over!
