Chapter 788 35 years
Since Xue Wanyue dared to take the medicine she gave her, Lu Yangyang naturally had no reason not to.
She left most of the medicine she brought back from the Northwest to the village chief, but just in case, she kept some spares with her. A couple of days ago, she and Hongyu got caught in the rain, and they were lucky to have the pills they had with them.
It must be said that although the pills my aunt developed were not exactly mild, they were indeed effective.
Lu Yangyang took out a bottle for storing pills from the medicine box, poured out a pill and handed it to her: "Swallow it with water, it will be a little bitter."
The old nanny standing nearby saw this and her eyelids twitched violently. She quickly advised, "Madam, we'll be back in the capital soon. Why don't we go back and eat?"
Xue Wanyue didn't hesitate at all. She reached out and took the pills from Lu Yangyang's hand and put them in her mouth. The maid next to her quickly handed her water.
Xue Wanyue swallowed the pills with water. The bitter taste brought tears to her eyes, and she gagged a few times, feeling nauseous.
The nanny was terrified: "Madam, how are you feeling? Is something wrong?"
Lu Yangyang added at the right moment, "This medicine will irritate her stomach a bit. She probably hasn't eaten much these past two days, so it's normal for her to feel nauseous. She'll feel better after she calms down and eats something."
“Miss, please don’t blame this old servant for being rude. Why didn’t you say this earlier? If anything were to happen to our mistress, could you bear the consequences?” The old woman looked at Lu Yangyang coldly, anger rising in her eyes.
"Shut up!" Xue Wanyue was too weak from the fever, and the medicine she had taken left her mouth bitter and uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to scold the nanny, "It was my decision!"
Seeing Xue Wanyue's expression, the old woman quickly lowered her head and dared not say another word.
The maids were also shocked by this scene. Having served the lady for so long, they had rarely seen her get angry. Many times, they even thought she had no temper.
But today, she actually got angry over a female doctor she met by chance... This...
The three of them were somewhat surprised and uncertain, unsure of Xue Wanyue's thoughts, but dared not say anything more and all fell silent.
Xue Wanyue looked at Lu Yangyang with an apologetic expression, but Lu Yangyang just smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.
The carriage quietly made its way to the city gate. It was raining, and the road was difficult to travel. By the time they arrived at the city gate, the curfew had long passed, and the city gate was already closed.
The guards, seeing the carriage approaching, impatiently shouted, "Who goes there? The city gates are closed, get out of here at once!"
The maidservant, holding an umbrella, jumped off the carriage, walked up to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and took out a sign, saying, "Open the gate."
The soldiers frowned, but their expressions changed the moment they saw the sign. They hurriedly cupped their hands and were about to kneel when the maid gave them a look and stopped them: "Our master does not wish to make a fuss. Open the door."
The officer bowed and replied, "Yes, miss, please wait a moment. Do you need me to send someone to escort you?"
The group consisted of only one carriage and two or three servants. If the guards hadn't seen the sign, they would never have believed that these were nobles from the palace.
Sure enough, anything can happen in the heart of the capital.
The maid waved her hand: "No need, our master doesn't want to make a fuss."
The officers and soldiers nodded in agreement and ordered the city gates to be opened. They didn't even forget to glance at the carriage before letting them into the city.
Lu Yangyang sat in the carriage and entered the city smoothly. She thought to herself, "Indeed, this ride was a good one."
She glanced at Xue Wanyue, who was resting with her eyes closed; the medicine hadn't been a waste after all.
The only question is whether Xue Wanyue will reveal her whereabouts after she enters the city.
I need to find a chance to slip away quickly.
Lu Yangyang was lost in thought when the carriage didn't head towards the palace. Instead, it stopped outside a small courtyard shortly after entering the city.
The carriage stopped, and the old woman whispered to Xue Wanyue, "Madam, we've arrived."
Xue Wanyue opened her eyes, her throat still a little dry, but she said to Lu Yangyang, "This is a courtyard that I bought with my own money. No one has ever been here. Please take my pulse again later."
Lu Yangyang blinked lightly. Xue Wanyue was telling her that it was safe here and that she could rest assured.
interesting.
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Okay."
The maid carried Xue Wanyue off the carriage, and Lu Yangyang followed with Hongyu inside.
Someone was guarding the courtyard, and soon the bed was made. They brought hot water for Xue Wanyue to wash her face. Xue Wanyue said to Lu Yangyang, "There is hot water in the room next door. Your clothes are wet. I'll have someone bring you two new sets. Change your clothes first, and then come over to have your pulse taken."
Lu Yangyang was surprised that she was so considerate, even though she was so sick.
Getting caught in the rain was indeed uncomfortable, but since she was already there, even though she didn't know what Xue Wanyue was up to, there was no need to refuse Xue Wanyue's kindness.
She nodded and followed the maid out.
As soon as she left, the nanny whispered to Xue Wanyue, "Your Highness, this female doctor's background is unknown. Why are you so concerned? We should have returned to the palace tonight. There are imperial physicians in the palace. Your health cannot be delayed. It would be best to see an imperial physician as soon as possible."
She truly didn't understand what was wrong with the Empress. Why would she trust a female doctor she had just met so much, and even delay her return to the palace because of this doctor? This was really not something the Empress would do.
"Granny, sometimes, you shouldn't ask questions you shouldn't ask, do you understand?" Xue Wanyue looked up at the nanny quietly, her eyes clear and sharp, yet with a chilling calmness.
The old woman's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately agreed, replying respectfully, "Yes."
"Your Majesty, please rest. I will have someone cook some easy-to-digest porridge."
Xue Wanyue responded softly, then added, "Tell the kitchen to make some more ginger soup, so you can all have some, and also cook two bowls of noodle soup and bring them over."
The old woman immediately understood that the soup noodles were for the female doctor. She suppressed her surprise but dared not ask any more questions. She respectfully got up and left.
A maidservant helped Xue Wanyue change her clothes.
Lu Yangyang quickly returned with her medicine kit and first took Xue Wanyue's pulse. "The high fever has subsided, but it may relapse tonight. Do you need me to prescribe some medicine?"
Xue Wanyue didn't reply, but looked at the maidservant serving her and said, "Go see if the food prepared in the kitchen is ready. If it is, bring it over."
The maidservant responded and left.
Only Xue Wanyue and Lu Yangyang remained in the room.
Xue Wanyue looked at Lu Yangyang with a hopeful gaze and asked softly, "Yangyang, are you alright?"
"As you can see, it's all good, but are you sure you want to catch up with me?" Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and asked, "Or is there something you need my help with? You were given an extremely cold medicine, and you may have difficulty having children in the future. Do you need me to prescribe medicine to help you recover? But I have to tell you the truth, it may take three to five years."
Xue Wanyue couldn't help but laugh out loud as she listened to her words.
"Yangyang, in my current state, if I hadn't met you today, I probably wouldn't have lived for three to five years. What kind of offspring could I possibly hope for?"
