Chapter 384 Normal
Shen Tang's voice was filled with worry, and Xie Guimo's eyes became serious.
Before marrying Xie Guimo, Shen Tang told him how the princess died. It was just an ordinary illness. Shen Tang would not guess that she was poisoned. It must be the same situation as in her previous life.
Prince Yu looked at Xie Guimo and then at Shen Tang, and always felt something was strange.
Princess Jingyang fell ill and the imperial physician had not yet arrived. How could the wife of Prince Jingyang's Crown Prince guess that she was poisoned, and how could the Crown Prince Jingyang believe it without a doubt?
Prince Yu thought of what the Taoist priest who is now the director of the Imperial Observatory said, that the fate of anyone who has something to do with Prince Jingyang's princess cannot be calculated, and Prince Jingyang's princess is indeed very different.
Prince Yu had been here for a while. Something was going on at Prince Jingyang's mansion, so he couldn't stay any longer. He said, "We'll take our leave now."
Xie Guimo wanted to see them out of the house, but Prince Yu refused. However, Xie Guimo insisted on seeing them off. No matter how serious the princess's illness was, it wouldn't take a while. It would be disrespectful for Prince Yu not to see him off personally since this was the first time he came to see him.
After Xie Guimo came back from seeing Prince Yu off, the imperial physician was invited into the mansion, and Shen Tang and Xie Guimo went to the Peony Courtyard.
The imperial physician took the princess's pulse and said, "The princess's pulse is normal, there is nothing serious."
The princess leaned against the large pillow and smiled, "Mother said there was no problem, you are worrying too much."
Shen Tang couldn't laugh. This was the case in his previous life. The princess was sick, and the imperial physician came to take her pulse, but she was fine. In the end, the imperial physician even doubted his own medical skills. Diagnosis requires observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. The pulse was fine, but the body had to be healthy. Why did the princess look so bad?
But when they prescribed medicine and checked the princess's pulse, it was normal. Doctors came one after another, and the princess's illness became more and more serious. Finally, one morning, she passed away suddenly.
Shen Tang's heart was shaking like a sieve when he experienced the same thing in his previous life again.
It took less than a month from the time the princess fell ill to the time she passed away. The death of the princess in her previous life was a great blow to Xie Guimo. Shen Tang didn't dare to think about how sad Xie Guimo would be if he couldn't save the princess's life.
The imperial physician thought there was nothing wrong and was about to leave. Xie Guimo said, "No problem. Why does my mother look so sick?"
The imperial physician said the same thing, "The princess's pulse is indeed fine..."
Xie Guimo ordered Steward Zhou, "Take your father's invitation and go to the palace to invite Zhao Yuanzheng!"
The princess saw the worry in Xie Guimo's eyes and said softly, "Mother is really fine. There's no need to trouble Zhao Yuanzheng."
"Go and do it!"
Manager Zhou agreed, sent the imperial physician out, and then quickly sent someone to invite Director Zhao.
The princess looked at Xie Guimo and Shen Tang in confusion. Thinking that Shen Tang had guessed her symptoms after hearing her say she was feeling unwell, she felt uneasy. "Could it be that mother has contracted some serious illness?"
Shen Tang shook his head. "Mother has always been in good health, and Mother Yun has taken great care of her. Mother is clearly unwell, but the doctors can't diagnose anything wrong. My husband and I are worried that Mother has been poisoned. We asked Zhao Yuanzheng to come and take a look, so we can feel more at ease."
In fact, Zhao Yuanzheng couldn't cure it either, otherwise the princess in her previous life wouldn't have been...
However, the doctor with the best medical skills in Kyoto is Zhao Yuanzheng. If Zhao Yuanzheng is helpless, then the situation will be really hopeless.
Mother Yun was also worried about the princess's illness, but that was just a general worry. Once the imperial physician pointed out the problem, Mother Yun would be relieved. However, Shen Tang's words suddenly made Mother Yun's worries rise again. "How could someone poison the princess?"
In the past two months, the princess has visited Wutong Courtyard less frequently to pay her respects, and almost never drinks Wutong Courtyard's tea.
Everyone in the Peony Courtyard is trustworthy, and those who can serve the princess closely are all loyal to her. She and her maidservants eat and drink whatever the princess eats and drinks. If they are poisoned, she and her maidservants will inevitably be poisoned.
Mother Yun thought that no one would poison the princess, but Shen Tang stopped her in her tracks with one sentence, "Could Mother Yun have imagined that someone would give me a sterilizing drug?"
Mother Yun was speechless and had nothing to say.
Yuanzheng Zhao came quickly and after taking the princess's pulse, he said that the pulse was fine. Xie Guimo told Yuanzheng Zhao about the princess's condition. Yuanzheng Zhao took the princess's pulse again, this time being extra careful, switching to the right hand after taking the left hand.
After he withdrew his hand, Xie Guimo asked, "How is it?"
Zhao Yuanzheng said, "The princess's condition is obvious, and her pulse should show some signs of it. But her pulse is indeed stable, so there is no problem."
Shen Tang asked, "Is there any poison that cannot be detected by pulse diagnosis?"
This question stumped Zhao Yuanzheng. "There are thousands of poisons in the world. I don't know if there is such a poison. I'm not good at detoxifying. Does the Crown Prince's Consort suspect that the Princess has been poisoned?"
"Is this possible?" Xie Guimo asked.
Zhao Yuanzheng said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
But he couldn't even tell what was wrong with the princess's pulse, so Zhao Yuanzheng couldn't treat her. The princess's symptom was that she couldn't sleep well in the second half of the night, so Zhao Yuanzheng prescribed some sleeping pills for her and then said goodbye.
The prince came back from the military camp and heard that the princess was not feeling well, so he went to the study to change his clothes and was about to go see the princess. As soon as he left the house, Xie Guimo arrived.
The prince asked, "Are you here to see your father?"
"I came here because of my mother's illness."
Xie Guimo's face turned grim. The prince said, "Didn't you see the imperial physician and he said there was nothing wrong with your mother's pulse?"
Xie Guimo looked at the prince and said, "In Tang'er's past life, my mother died of illness just like this!"
Although Shen Tang's rebirth after death was bizarre, the prince accepted it.
He also knew that after Madam Huo died of childbirth and Madam An committed suicide with her daughter, the princess could not bear the blow and became seriously ill. But these things would not happen again. How could the princess fall ill, even earlier than Xie Guimo told her?
Thinking that the princess would die, the prince's eyes turned red, "Your mother..."
"I won't let my mother die!"
Xie Guimo said firmly, "Tang'er suspects that Mother was poisoned, but Zhao Yuanzheng is not good at detoxification, so we can only ask for another doctor. Before Mother recovers, I don't want anyone in the palace to make Mother unhappy."
After saying this, Xie Guimo left.
The prince leaned on the desk to relax for a while before entering the inner courtyard. When he went to the Peony Courtyard, Concubine Jiang happened to be looking for the princess. The princess was not feeling well, and Mother Yun stopped Concubine Jiang from entering the house. Concubine Jiang was very unhappy, "Didn't I see the imperial physician and he said that the princess is not ill? Princess Housekeeper, who should I go to if I don't go to her?"
Seeing the prince coming over, Mother Yun said, "The princess said she would deal with this matter tomorrow. If the concubine is anxious, she can ask the prince."
Concubine Jiang immediately flew into a rage and slapped Mother Yun in the face, "It's fine if the princess mocks me, but you, a servant, dare to mock me?!"
The slap was loud.
The prince's face turned green when he heard this. Mother Yun was slapped and bowed, "This servant pays respects to the prince."
Concubine Jiang's face turned pale. She turned to see the prince and couldn't speak clearly, "Prince, Prince..."
The prince's face turned pale, "This is the princess's yard, are you always acting like this?!"
Concubine Jiang said, "It was this cunning slave who mocked me..."
The prince said, "I'm not deaf. I apologize to Mother Yun!"
Concubine Jiang's face froze as she stared at the prince in disbelief. The prince actually asked her to apologize to a servant?!
Concubine Jiang refused to even apologize to the princess, so how could she possibly apologize to Mother Yun? Even if the sun rose from the west, that was impossible.
The prince didn't indulge her this time. "Go to the Buddhist temple and kneel until tomorrow morning. If you dare to hit anyone from the Peony Courtyard again, you will be moved to the farm."
After saying this, the prince went into the house.
