Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 468: Doctor You Dies

Pregnant concubines will definitely act like demons.

Wang Xifeng had already prepared herself mentally, so why would she take the initiative to reach out and take these hot potatoes at this time?

With just one sentence, "I'm tired," he sent everyone back. The only thing he said was, "We don't know whether it's true or not yet, so everyone take it easy."

Everyone came with excitement and left with disappointment.

Even Geng Simiao was in no mood to say a few more words to Wang Xifeng. He slumped his shoulders and slowly walked back.

An'er looked at the backs of these people and felt strange in his heart.

Wang Xifeng found her expression funny and called her back, "What are you looking at?"

“I just feel that since the Emperor and His Majesty have clearly told them that this pregnancy might have been framed, why are they still unable to hide their excitement?

"Even Geng Ronghua was unhappy in the end. Could it be that being pregnant would be a good thing in this situation?

"——The Concubine Dowager has just been buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. Ten months later, they gave birth to a prince. Wouldn't someone be calculating the date to slander His Majesty?

"The child they raised happily turned out to be evidence of his father's unfilial behavior. Aren't they really afraid of such a thing?!"

Wang Xifeng looked at her and smiled: "If they were as clear-headed as our Miss An'er, I think they would not have entered the palace!"

An'er blushed and changed the subject in a low voice, "I don't know if Chen Duo's capture of Imperial Doctor You will be successful."

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "If it goes well, then I won't know. If it doesn't go well, then I'm afraid..."

It’s hard to say.

Jia Jing's funeral was low-key and simple.

In addition to the relatives of the Rong and Ning branches, many old friends and acquaintances were also informed after Jia Zhen hurried back to the capital to report the death:

Because Jia Jing practiced Taoism, the funeral was held according to Taoist customs, everything was kept simple, and condolences from all families were declined.

The body would only stay at home for seven days before being sent to Tiekan Temple outside the city for temporary custody. Once the imperial edict was received, the body would be immediately carried south to Jinling, his ancestral home, for burial.

And this Imperial Physician You, as he was Jia Zhen's father-in-law, was among those who were notified.

After comforting his daughter and son-in-law and lighting a stick of incense in front of the coffin, Doctor You wanted to take his leave.

Jia Zhen hurriedly pulled him back and stopped him from leaving, whispering, "I dare not trouble my father-in-law again.

"The old lady in our Rong Mansion has fallen ill. As you know, the national mourning is more important than the family mourning, so we have to be cautious when inviting doctors from outside.

"Since you are here, I will trouble you, shall I?"

When Doctor You heard this, he thought it was a good idea, so he nodded and agreed.

Jia Zhen called Jia Lian and said, "I can't move in the mourning hall. Take my father-in-law over there and let the old lady see him."

Another wink.

Jia Lian understood and politely invited Doctor You to come over.

All the red, green and fancy decorations were removed from the Rongguo Mansion, and the servants' clothes were changed to plain colors.

As Imperial Doctor You walked along, there was no noise at all, and the servants inside and outside the palace were all exceptionally respectful and quiet.

In the main room, Grandmother Jia was wearing clothes for meeting guests, her silver hair was combed meticulously, and she was sitting upright on the couch with an unnatural blush on her face.

Jia She, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were all sitting nearby, all with frowns on their faces and full of worry.

Jia Lian took Doctor You into the main room and explained softly, "Our old lady has been feeling unwell since she came back from the imperial mausoleum. She probably has a heat stroke. But it's been three or four days and she hasn't gotten better. Please take a closer look, sir."

Doctor You smiled and said, "Master Lian, please rest assured."

Because they were relatives, when Lady Jia saw Imperial Physician You bowing, she quickly ordered Jia Lian to help him up and greeted him with a smile.

Doctor You smiled upon seeing this and said, "The old lady is in good spirits, so I think she is fine. I will take her pulse and go through the formalities. The old lady just needs to rest for a while."

Jia She stroked his beard and said gently, "I would like to borrow the good words of the imperial physician You."

Imperial Physician You bowed again and stepped forward to feel Lady Jia's pulse.

Grandmother Jia also closed her eyes slightly and frowned subconsciously, as if she was enduring something.

Doctor You gently placed his fingers on her wrist. After a moment, he frowned slightly and thought to himself: How can this be heatstroke? It is clearly caused by the anger attacking the heart, liver depression and qi stagnation, which led to poor blood circulation.

Doctor You knew that Grandmother Jia held an important position in the mansion, and her condition could not be taken lightly. He stood up and said respectfully, "The old lady is just a little bit unwell due to the heat. I will prescribe some medicine to clear away heat and relieve the heat. She will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

He deliberately avoided the statement of "being impetuous and angry". After all, he was only the master of the family, and the affairs of the Rong and Ning mansions were not something that an outsider like him could easily interfere in.

After hearing this, Jia She, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing nodded one after another with expressions of relief on their faces.

Jia She smiled and nodded, "That's great. Then please ask my father-in-law to go outside and prescribe medicine. Please wait for me in the study room. I will say a few words to the old lady and then come out.

"Lian'er, please send your father-in-law over there."

Doctor You smiled and nodded in agreement, and then gave Lady Jia a few more instructions: "Since you have been hit by the heat, you must rest and not be anxious or depressed.

“Eat a lighter diet, especially foods that clear the liver and improve eyesight.

"Madam, just lie down and calm down for a few days. Don't get angry or anxious. If you are still not well tomorrow, please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find me. I will come and change the medicine for you."

Grandmother Jia smiled and nodded repeatedly, then said, "Thank you for your help. Lian'er, go to the study and take good care of the tea."

Doctor You then followed Jia Lian out, crossed the yard, and turned a few corners before they saw a small courtyard.

Jia Lian smiled and asked him, "My dear relative, please."

Doctor You also smiled and nodded, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he was stunned.

In the study, a thin young man was standing in front of the window with his back to him, seemingly admiring the scenery outside.

Doctor You was stunned and turned to look at Jia Lian: "Second Master Lian?"

"My dear, please come in and sit for a while. I will make you some tea. My father will be here soon. Please wait for a moment."

Jia Lian turned a blind eye, finished his words, and walked away with a smile.

At 3:30 pm, the news from the front hall was delivered to Yinyu Hall:

"Chen Duo successfully captured Doctor You who was returning home from the Jia residence, but on the way to the palace, Doctor You took advantage of the situation and bit his tongue to commit suicide."

Wang Xifeng was surprised: "And then? What did Chen Duo say?"

"Chen Duo has returned to arrest Jia Zhen." It was Fu Gui'er who came to deliver the message, "His Majesty said that there are many things going on today and he is in a bad mood.

"It just so happened that Prince Duan said at noon that he wanted to have dinner with the Queen in the future. So Your Majesty will come to Yinyu Palace for dinner tonight.

"Please give me a menu for Penglai Palace, but please only consider Prince Duan's taste, not the Queen's.

"Her Majesty, please use your own medicinal food."

Wang Xifeng has a headache.

"I have really become the chief steward of Daming Palace."

No matter how much you complain, you still have to do your job.

Wang Xifeng resigned herself to letting Fuguier go: "Go out and find a chance to tell Chen Duo. Jia Zhen might not be able to find out anything, so tell him not to let Rongguo Mansion go."

Then he spread out the paper, picked up the pen and started to draw up the menu.
