Chapter 129 – Fourth Young Lady, Please Go Back First
“Miss, Miss, what happened to you?” Jin Ling rushed over and pulled open the gauze curtain. Shufei also stood up at this time and helped Jin Ling pull off the gauze curtain that was wrapped around Wei Yuewu.
Everyone could tell that Wei Yuewu was in a bad situation when the tent was pulled open.
On that exquisite and beautiful face, the corners of her lips were pale, but her cheeks were abnormally red. The long butterfly-like eyelash on her face didn’t have the slightest bit of vitality.
“Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, come and see our Miss… she… save her!” Shufei cried out in fright.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two imperial doctors rushed forward. Even in such an emergency, Jin Ling did not forget to put a gauze scarf on Wei Yuewu’s wrist.
The Third Princess’ imperial doctor came over first. He sat on a brocade stool that Shufei had helped up. He closed his eyes and reached out to feel Wei Yuewu’s pulse. His face was filled with shock and he immediately opened his eyes and frowned, but did not say anything. Then, he stood up and gave the seat to the imperial doctor from the Crown Prince Mansion.
Speaking of the statuses of the two imperial doctors in the Imperial Health Institute and their medical skills, the imperial doctor of the Crown Prince Mansion was naturally superior to the one from the Third Princess’ mansion.
The imperial doctor from the Crown Prince Mansion did not decline. He sat down and extended his hand to feel Wei Yuewu’s pulse. The longer he felt the pulse, the more shocked he became. He opened his eyes and looked at the other imperial doctor, who nodded his head knowingly.
These were all small movements, but Jin Ling and Shufei had been observing the two of them closely and immediately saw them clearly.
“Imperial doctors, could it be that our Miss is really in bad conditions?” Jin Ling asked anxiously with a sobbing voice.
“Fourth Young Lady, our Miss is really not in good conditions. Nobody lied to you. You… Why are you…” Shufei cried and said to Wei Qiufu.
Wei Qiufu was also dumbfounded. She never thought that Wei Yuewu, who was in the gauze curtain, would look like this.
From whichever perspective, the current situation was unfavorable for her. She gritted her teeth and took a step forward. She bowed respectfully to the imperial doctors and asked, “Imperial doctors, how is my Sixth Younger Sister’s injury?”
The two imperial doctors looked at each other again and did not say anything. One of them even shook his head. This made Wei Qiufu even more puzzled. She said again, “Imperial doctors, is there anything wrong with my Sixth Younger Sister? If there is, please let me know! I will naturally inform the Third Princess and ask her to award the two of you generously.”
At this time, her forehead was slightly sweating, and she was so anxious that she even mentioned the Third Princess to make her words sound more convincing.
Until now, she still suspected that Wei Yuewu was putting on a show. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? When her hand touched the gauze curtain, the gauze curtain fell before she could exert any strength. It was clear that Wei Yuewu had deliberately set her up.
As long as the imperial doctors said that Wei Yuewu’s injury wasn’t serious, she could use the dishes Wei Yuewu ordered from the kitchen as a proof to turn the table. The imperial doctors’ words were of utmost importance.
Shufei also pleaded, “Imperial doctors, just tell us, what’s wrong with our Miss?”
“Imperial doctor, I beg you!” Jin Ling hugged Wei Yuewu, so anxious that tears fell down her cheeks.
Seeing that both of them were so anxious, the two imperial doctors felt they could not hide the fact, and actually, this kind of things couldn’t be concealed at all. The imperial doctor of the Crown Prince Mansion coughed softly and said, “Sixth Miss Wei is seriously injured, and because Sixth Miss Wei’s physique is weaker than ordinary young ladies, the situation is very dangerous.”
“Then…imperial doctors, please prescribe medicine for our Miss!” Jin Ling anxiously responded.
Wei Qiufu was completely dumbfounded and her expression became exceptionally awkward. She suddenly realized that she might be tricked.
“Well, medicine must be prescribed with caution. Sixth Miss Wei seems to have been drugged by someone else. The drug would cause her to become infertile, and the effect of that drug must be eliminated before other medicine could be used to treat her injury.” The imperial doctor said embarrassedly.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to prescribe medicine for this weak Sixth Miss Wei. It was really because this Sixth Miss Wei was not only weak, but she had also been drugged by someone. The effect of that drug must be eliminated before other medicine could be used to treat her injury.
“Infer…infertile!” Shufei was brewing tea for the doctors from the side at this time. When she heard the doctor’s words, the teacup in her hand landed on the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking.
Several maids and old maidservants who had been ordered by their mistresses to inquire about the situation gathered in the doorway and whispered.
“Imperial doctor… can… can you tell how long the drug has been applied? Is there still… any hope?” Jin Ling seemed to be completely stunned as she looked at the imperial doctor and cried out in shock.
“It hasn’t been a long time since the drug was applied, nor is there much of it. It should take place in the past few days. As long as your Miss takes a few doses of medicine, she will be fine. However, Sixth Miss Wei has to endure the injury in her body for two days.” The imperial doctor looked at Wei Yuewu’s obviously feverish face in embarrassment and began to hesitate.
“Fourth Young Lady, you… you… are satisfied now? Not only is our Miss’s injury difficult to treat, but she has also been drugged… It seems that she won’t be able to live long, so she won’t cause trouble to you. Fourth Young Lady, you don’t have to treat our Miss like this again and again.” Perhaps she was too angry, Shufei covered her face with her handkerchief and cried loudly.
“How dare you! Is this what a servant like you should say?” Wei Qiufu’s hands were trembling uncontrollably, and her face was filled with rage as she shouted loudly.
She really regretted that she had rashly come here without more meticulous investigation.
“Fourth Young Lady, these words are not what I should have said. But think about what has happened before. In front of the Crown Prince and two princesses, you said that our Miss pushed you and said that our Miss wanted to harm you. Eldest Miss Yang also testified for you. But in the end, it turned out that Eldest Miss Yang was lying.”
“Today, I told you that our Miss was seriously injured and it was not appropriate for her to receive visitors. Our Miss has already been diagnosed by the imperial doctor of the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan’s mansion, but you didn’t believe in what she said and insisted on coming in. You even pulled down our Miss’s tent and caused our Miss to faint. Fourth Young Lady… You, even though you are not close to our Miss, you are still sisters of the same clan!”
Shufei cried loudly.
When these things were put together and considered as a whole, it seemed that what Shufei said was really reasonable. Although Shufei didn’t directly accuse Wei Qiufu for secretly setting up Wei Yuewu, the group of maids and old maidservants at the door were all serving big aristocratic mansions. They had seen this kind of things many times and immediately simulated in their mind the scene of Wei Qiufu setting up Wei Yuewu.
Wei Qiufu couldn’t be more regretful now. She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake coming here today.
Originally, she thought that Wei Yuewu had been pretending to be seriously injured. That was why she forcefully entered the room. However, she never expected that Wei Yuewu was not only severely injured, but she was also diagnosed with a drug in her body that would make her infertile. Most importantly, it hadn’t been long since the drug was applied to her. In other words, Wei Yuewu wasn’t drugged until she arrived at the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.
Needless to say, such a thing must have something to do with the others in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!
Since the drug was found in Wei Yuewu’s body, and Wei Yuewu was injured, she could be said to block the sword for the Crown Prince. In that case, the Crown Prince would support Wei Yuewu in the end.
Did that mean that she intended to turn the entire mansion of Marquis Hua Yang upside down?
Wei Qiufu felt as if she had lifted a rock only to smash her own feet. These movements of hers had actually dragged her into the issue. What would the Madam Dowager think of her? What would the others in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang think of her?
She even had a premonition that her image as a peaceful and well-behaved young lady which she had maintained over the years would probably be broken by someone else!
“Shufei… you… stop talking. Fourth Elder Sister, please go back.” A faint voice came from the bed. Everyone looked sideways and saw the severely injured girl opening her lackluster eyes and looking at Wei Qiufu coldly. Anyone could sense the alienation and sadness in her eyes.
“Sixth Younger Sister, you…” Wei Qiufu involuntarily stepped forward, wanting to explain.
Jin Ling glared at her with caution, as if she would protect Wei Yuewu if Wei Qiufu took any unusual action.
“Fourth Elder Sister, please go back. I’m really injured. I don’t have the strength to receive Fourth Elder Sister.” Wei Yuewu closed her eyes slightly. Everyone could tell that she was struggling to hold on. Seeing such a pale and heavily injured girl struggling to deal with the chaotic scene in front of her, anyone would feel sympathy for her.
“Fourth Young Lady, please go back first. I will make a diagnosis for Sixth Young Lady.” The imperial doctor from the Crown Prince Mansion not only accepted the invitation of the Third Princess, but also came at the command of the Crown Prince. At this moment, he coughed softly and said to Wei Qiufu.
This Sixth Miss Wei in front of him was seriously injured to such an extent that she really shouldn’t be too excited. Obviously, this Fourth Miss Wei’s presence here didn’t do any good to Sixth Miss Wei’s injury at all.
“I…” Wei Qiufu looked at the imperial doctor in disbelief. She never expected an imperial doctor to say such words to her. Even though this imperial doctor served the Crown Prince Mansion, in her mind, she was the future mistress of the Crown Prince Mansion. But now, she was treated like this by an imperial doctor! Her face instantly blushed.
“The Crown Prince had an order. If there really was something wrong with Sixth Young Lady, other people should stay away and let Sixth Young Lady recover.” The imperial doctor said in a deep voice.
Even if Fourth Miss Wei hadn’t invited him over, the Crown Prince also ordered him to take a look at the injury of this Sixth Miss Wei. Since Fourth Miss Wei had also invited him over, he naturally accepted and came along.
Wei Yuewu narrowed her eyes slightly. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she looked at Wei Qiufu whose angry eyes carried a killing intent.
Under such a scene, no matter how shrewd and deep-minded Wei Qiufu was, she had lost her composure repeatedly. From now on, the name of the Fourth Miss Wei of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would no longer be as flawless as before…
As to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, it was Wei Qiufu who exposed the fact that she was drugged by somebody. This was something that disgraced the entire mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Sure enough, the Madam Dowager would settle this matter on Wei Qiufu’s account…
“Sixth Younger Sister, have a good rest. I’ll go back first.” These words almost came out of the gap between Wei Qiufu’s teeth. She had no other option but to say these words at this moment. Almost in an instant, Wei Qiufu’s angry face put on a tearful expression.
Since the imperial doctor had mentioned the Crown Prince’s order, she naturally had no choice but to obey. At this moment, she could only conceal the hatred in her heart and lower her head in grievance.
“Thank you, Fourth Elder Sister!” Wei Yuewu said indifferently. After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes. She was seriously injured and on the verge of death. No one would make a fuss for her lack of etiquette at this time.
Wei Qiufu walked towards the door. The maids and old maidservants at the door who were pointing their fingers here and there immediately dispersed. When she was out of the courtyard, she saw several young ladies from aristocratic families who used to gather around her in the past. They were all holding handkerchiefs and glancing at her at a distance from her. The proper smile on her face immediately stiffened.
She had always had a very good reputation in the circle of young ladies of aristocratic families, which could never be matched by Wei Yan. Whenever had she been shunned by people like snakes and scorpions?
However, no matter how regretful she was, it was useless. She could only bite her lips tightly with a gloomy expression and left with Ming Yan.
She would definitely not admit defeat to Wei Yuewu like this!
She still had other chances. Her schemes had never been limited to one step. Wei Yuewu had only temporarily gained an advantage. Her chance to fight back was about to come…
