Dongfang Wan was stunned and then smiled bitterly: “I haven’t come out for a long time, the outside world is almost like a stranger from me. I don’t even know what I want to know.”
She leaned her thin body into a chair, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and watched the birds passing by. Her mood suddenly became brighter. She tried to feel blowing the breeze and watch the sky. She enjoyed the remaining freedom she has left in this life.
“My Lady, would you like to listen to some?” Asked the maid.
Dongfang Wan looked back and smiled lightly: “Let me hear what you wanted to say.” Since she doesn’t know what she wants to hear, she’ll just listen to whatever she wants to say.
Cui’er told the first thing that came to her mind. It was the birthday ceremony of the Empress Dowager: “My lady, the most lively rumors recently, is about the Empress Dowager’s birthday. This slave heard that this birthday ceremony was personally prepared by the Empress.”
Dongfang Wan asked, “Empress? Did the emperor get married?” She didn’t even hear about it.
Cui’er nodded her head: “He got married a few months ago.”
“Who is it?” She asked
Cui’er replied: “It’s Pure Consort Chu. Now she’s being called Empress Chu.”
Dongfang Wan’er suddenly said: “It turned out to be Prince Xiao’s biological mother. If Prince Jin didn’t have an accident, something like this wouldn’t happen to Pure Consort Chu.”
Cui’er suddenly remembered about Prince Jin, so she busily said: “My Lady, you don’t know yet, Prince Jin is back. He has been fighting against the enemy in the Northwestern battlefield. I heard that he won several battles in succession.”
Dongfang Wan looked slightly happy: “Is this true?”
Cui’er nodded her head: “Of course, it is true. Everyone in the capital knows about it, they said that the God of War is finally back. The youngsters are no longer afraid of Xiye Country.”
Dongfang Wan sighed: “It’s good that he came back, it’s good that he came back, it’s just a pity. My poor child, if she is still alive, she will marry such a good man in 2 years. I—”
The more she thought of it, the more she felt sad. Then suddenly, she coughed and coughed, then vomited blood. Cui’er was terrified, she hurriedly asked the housekeeper to find a doctor.
Now that they suddenly moved to another mansion of Dongfang Family, the Imperial Doctors don’t know where they are, so they can only ask the doctor outside.
Cui’er and the other maidservants took their lady back to her room. When the doctor arrived, Dongfang Wan was asleep.
The doctor diagnosed her pulse, but the more he checked her pulse the more he became confused.
“Dafu, my lady just vomited blood, is she okay?” Cui’er asked.
The doctor shook his head and said: “How can she be okay good if she vomited blood? Her pulse is very weak, but I can’t find what’s wrong with her. She’s just weak, this doesn’t make sense. How can someone be weak without a reason? Her condition should be investigated. ”
Cui’er didn’t understand, so she asked urgently: “Doctor, what are you saying? I can’t understand it. Why don’t you just prescribe medicine to our lady?”
The doctor shook his head again: “Her body is like this, drinking ordinary tonics is no longer useful. You have to find the root cause of her disease. Only by finding the root cause, you can cure the disease. I’m sorry, I’m not skilled enough, I’m afraid that I can’t help your lady.”
The doctor left without prescribing medicine, nor asking for a medical fee.
Cui’er didn’t understand why this doctor was so strange. The doctors who went to check her lady in the mansion, including those imperial doctors had prescribed medicines to her lady. She never heard them say anything about the root cause of the disease!
