The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 95: 88 Mother and Daughter (First Update)

Study Room.

As Lord Gu was pondering on how to approach the Yao Family, he heard that a servant had fainted.

Yao Family, who had been recuperating these days, lived in the secluded courtyard, only coming over to see Gu Yan and Gu Jinyu every day.

By the time Lord Gu arrived at the courtyard, Yao Family had already been put on a bed by Nurse Fang and Cuicui.

Nurse Fang, who had been taking care of matters in the courtyard recently as Nurse Fang was suffering from a cold, had personally gone to call the imperial physician.

As Lord Gu glanced at the unconscious Yao Family, then at the trembling maids in the room, his face darkened: “Who took care of my wife today?”

The two maids knelt down with a thud.

One of them sobbed, “This slave doesn’t know what happened… When we returned to the courtyard… my lady had already fainted in the room!”

Lord Gu coldly retorted, “How can you take care of my wife like this? Did you leave her alone in the courtyard?”

Another maid also wept uncontrollably, “Have mercy, my lord. My lady doesn’t like having people around her… We didn’t dare to disobey her…”

“Such a waste of space!” Lord Gu was angry, and just as he shouted, Nurse Fang came in with the imperial physician.

The two of them were about to greet Lord Gu, but he waved his hand and said, “No need, hurry and treat my wife.”

“Yes!” The imperial physician walked forward with his medicine box, laid a silk handkerchief on Yao Family’s wrist, and began to take her pulse.

To be honest, the imperial physician was not optimistic about Yao Family’s illness.

At first glance, Yao Family didn’t seem to be seriously ill, but in fact, she had long been physically exhausted. Moreover, she had a heart disease and was most vulnerable to stimulation. When serious, she could have hallucinations and insanity, making irreversible actions.

It was precisely because Lord Gu feared such a situation, that he was always hesitant about whether to reveal the truth.

It took a while for the imperial physician to take her pulse this time.

It was so long that Lord Gu had sweated coldly.

“What is it, Physician Chen?” He asked eagerly.

Nurse Fang also nervously looked at Doctor Chen.

Doctor Chen, with a thoughtful look, frowned, and took Yao Family’s pulse again: “Strange, really strange.”

Lord Gu anxiously asked, “What is strange? Is my wife very serious?”

Doctor Chen shook his head, “Not serious.”

Yao Family’s body has always been weak and she can’t stand stimulation. Normally, if she faints, it would be really dangerous, but right now, her pulse was much more stable than expected.

That’s why he felt it was strange.

“What medicine has my wife been taking lately?” asked the imperial physician.

Lord Gu looked at Nurse Fang.

Nurse Fang was taken aback and said, “Isn’t it the medicine prescribed by you?”

Doctor Chen said, “Bring it over for me to have a look.”

“Ah.” Nurse Fang came to the dressing table, pulled out Yao Family’s medicine box, and handed over the little medicine bottles and jars Yao Family had been taking every day to the imperial physician.

The small pills in the vial were white, odorless, and Doctor Chen had never seen this kind of medicine.

The jars contained small, one-gram packets of granules. Doctor Chen had never seen this kind of medicine either but, he could smell the familiar scent of traditional Chinese medicine. He vaguely recognized the odor of ginseng, sour jujube kernels, poria, cinnamon, asparagus, and rehmannia.

“Can medicines be made into these forms?” murmured Doctor Chen.

He had only seen medicine made into pills before, and he had never seen it made into pills or granules, especially those white pills, whose ingredients were completely unrecognizable.

“Where did these medicines come from?” Chen asked.

Nurse Fang looked at Dr. Chen in amazement, “Weren’t they prescribed by you?”

Doctor Chen said, “I didn’t prescribe these medicines.”

Lord Gu’s icy gaze fell on Nurse Fang, “When did my wife start taking these medicines?”

Nurse Fang hurriedly explained, “I can’t recall the exact… It’s been a while. My lady has never been willing to take her medicine. She suddenly started taking it, and I thought my lady had finally listened to Dr. Chen’s advice.”

“Did these medicines cause my wife to faint?” Lord Gu asked the imperial physician.

Chen thought for a while and said, “It is hard to say… The calming medicine in the jar should not harm the body. But, I have never seen that other kind of pill, so I can’t make a rash judgment.”

Lord Gu coldly looked at Nurse Fang, “Who gave these things to my wife?”

Nurse Fang paled and said, “The slave isn’t clear either. Although the slave has been taking care of my lady, the one who spends the most time with her is Nurse Fang.”

Nurse Fang has gone to recuperate and is not at the villa!

Lord Gu clenched his fist and said, “Send someone to bring Nurse Fang to me!”

Doctor Chen thought and said, “Lord Gu, don’t be anxious. My lady’s pulse condition has improved compared to before. It’s possible that both types of medicine are harmless to my lady.”
