Chapter 339: Chapter 339: The Suffering Wife VS The Mistress (Part Twenty-Five) Chapter 339: Chapter 339: The Suffering Wife VS The Mistress (Part Twenty-Five) Only Qin Yuanzheng was confused; he had no idea what he had done to cause Gu Shengyin to display such a look of immense shock.
In the Emperor’s tent, Emperor Xiande had already let Gu Shengyin down and stood by her side.
The Imperial Physician had not yet arrived, but someone had already been sent to notify the people at the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.
“Your humble servant, head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Yuan…” the hastily arriving Imperial Physician was about to kneel when the anxious Emperor abruptly pulled him up.
“Dispense with the formalities, quickly check how Miss Liang is doing?” Qin Shao was very anxious at the moment.
The old Imperial Physician did not dare delay any longer, quickly walked over to Gu Shengyin, said, “Excuse me,” and then placed his hand on her pulse.
“How is it?” Qin Shao asked.
Imperial Physician Yuan stood up and said, “I observe that the lady’s complexion is pale, and her heartbeat is irregular, which seems to be a manifestation of a severe fright.”
Qin Shao thought it over, wasn’t it a scare? He asked, “Is it serious?”
Imperial Physician Yuan shook his head, “It appears the lady has always paid attention to her health. This might just be a temporary fainting due to extreme anger and distress. Once she awakens, I will prescribe some calming and soothing medicines; after a few doses, she will be fine.”
Only then did Qin Shao feel relieved.
It was good that there was nothing wrong; had his junior sister developed any lasting ailments from this, he would have truly been overwhelmed with regret.
In the meantime, upon hearing the news, Grand Tutor Liang and those from the Liang Residence who participated in the autumn hunt also hurried over and anxiously inquired about what had happened.
Qin Shao knew everything but could not say, “I don’t know either. The junior sister just suddenly paled and fainted upon seeing the Crown Prince of Zhenbei.”
Grand Tutor Liang’s brow furrowed deeply, his opinion of the prince’s mansion worsening even further.
Not long after, Gu Shengyin woke up.
She still looked pale but refused to say anything, only mentioning that she wanted to go home.
Qin Shao could do nothing but send someone to take her back to the Liang Residence.
Naturally, Grand Tutor Liang and others followed back to the mansion with heavy hearts.
Qin Shao really wanted to go to the Liang Residence as well, but given his identity here, every move of an emperor is scrutinized, and he simply could not get away.
Gu Shengyin returned to the mansion in silence. Lady Meng, having already received the news, personally welcomed her at the mansion’s gate, and the sight of Gu Shengyin immediately brought tears to her eyes.
“What has happened to my Yuer?” she exclaimed as she embraced her daughter.
Gu Shengyin said only one sentence: “Mother, I want to return to my room, let them all leave.”
This implied she had something confidential to discuss.
Once the two entered Gu Shengyin’s courtyard, Lady Meng dismissed the servants and had just approached her daughter when she saw tears falling from her daughter’s eyes like beads.
“Mother…” Gu Shengyin seemed to vent all the grievances she had accrued along the way, embracing Lady Meng and beginning to cry.
Lady Meng was frightened; her daughter had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered any grievances. Moreover, Yuer had always been a forthright person; Lady Meng had never seen her daughter cry so heartbreakingly before.
“Yuer, don’t cry… please don’t cry, my good Yuer…” she softly patted her daughter’s back, gently comforting her.
It was unclear how much time had passed before her daughter’s crying gradually ceased. Once Lady Meng sensed that her daughter had almost vented her feelings, she began to inquire about what had happened.
“I want to call off the engagement!” The girl in her arms lifted her head, her face still streaked with drying tears, her eyes still swollen, but her gaze was unmistakably filled with anger and contempt.
Lady Meng had never expected that her daughter’s first words would be these!
