Chapter 239 Surprised
There was a long distance from Xinyi Medicine Store to the Princess's Mansion. Along the way, Xinyi lifted the curtain from time to time and looked forward, feeling very anxious.
The driver took a shortcut and passed through Elm Lane. The road was so narrow that the carriage seemed to be moving between two high walls, making clanging sounds from time to time.
"Little lady, this road is a bit bumpy, please bear with it."
"It doesn't matter." Xin Yi was shaken so much that his voice was shaking, but he still urged: "Faster, faster..."
Seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, her husband patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Sister, the prince will be fine. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xin Yi hummed slightly, unable to hide his nervousness.
It was Sun Huai's eagerness that affected her.
Fu Jiuqu has this problem for a long time, and Sun Huai has long been used to it. Theoretically speaking, patent foramen ovale generally will not cause death, but there is a situation where the patient engages in strenuous activities or other conditions that may aggravate the condition.
So, headaches and dizziness are all trivial matters.
The most serious case may be a stroke due to difficulty breathing...
In the original plot, Fu Jiuqu died of a stroke.
The group of people traveled non-stop until they arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, and under Sun Huai's arrangement, they went straight to Linqu Pavilion.
This is Fu Jiuqu's residence. On a day in early May, the grass is green and the trees are full of flowers. Once you enter the courtyard, you feel like you are on a spring stage. However, although the scenery is beautiful, there is not a single person in sight. It is really too clean.
Xin Yi frowned and asked Sun Huai: "Is there no one to serve you in the prince's courtyard?"
Sun Huai glanced at her: "There used to be a lot of people. Later, Mrs. Zhou moved here, and Master Jiu rarely came back to live there. Mrs. Zhou said she didn't need so many people to serve her, so she sent some away... Well, there are only a few in the house.
Two masters, besides servants, how many people do we need..."
Xin Yi hesitated.
In fact, she was not as complicated as Sun Huai thought, and she didn't care how many girls were waiting for Fu Jiuqu. She just felt that Fu Jiuqu's courtyard was too deserted because of his status as a prince, and it was completely different from the homes of ordinary dignitaries.
But when she heard Sun Huai's explanation and thought of Zhou Yiliu waiting in Fu Jiuqu's yard, she felt a little weird and felt uncomfortable...
The sixth sense works magically again.
Xin Yi thought of Zhou Yiliu. When he walked in, he saw Zhou Yiliu sitting alone at the door of Fu Jiuqu's bedroom, crying silently.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhou Yi and Liu Xun raised their heads and met Xin Yi's eyes.
"Ms. Zhang, are you here?"
Xin Yi saw that her eyes were red, obviously she had cried, and she couldn't help but feel suffocated.
"How is the prince doing?"
Zhou Yiliu sniffed and forced a smile.
"Mr. Zhou and Dr. Liu just came in. The prince..."
Mentioning Fu Jiuqu, Zhou Yiliu's eye circles were red again, his eyes were thick with mist, and tears almost fell, "He is already unconscious. Doctor Liu said... the condition is not very good."
"Mrs. Zhou, why are you talking to her about this?" There was a little girl next to Zhou Yiliu. Xin Yi had seen her last time and couldn't remember her name. She didn't know whether she was trying to please Zhou Yiliu or because she had resentment towards Xin Yi.
A Qing Shui face looked at Xin Yi, hummed lowly, and said:
"If it weren't for her, the county prince wouldn't be like this..."
Xin Yi frowned slightly and walked over, "I borrowed it."
The girl's words were interrupted and she gave a very unhappy shout, but Xin Yi raised her hand and pushed her aside.
"Hey, you shrew..." The little girl was pushed to the point where she could not stand steadily. She looked at Xin Yi's arrogant leaving figure, cursed angrily, and then looked back at Zhou Yiliu, "Little Mrs. Zhou, look at her, she is a foreigner.
It’s just a room, you really think of yourself as the master, and you are so rampant in our house..."
Zhou Yiliu shook his head, his eyes showing a bit of sadness.
"She is not the master, but we all have to treat her as our master. If you don't want to be kicked out of the palace by the prince, just be good, shut up, and stop causing trouble..."
The little girl was only about 134 years old. She was too young. She didn't understand what Zhou Yiliu meant at all. It was just that the eldest princess sent her to serve Zhou Yiliu, so she treated her as her master and only expected Zhou Yiliu to do what he did in the future.
If he becomes the concubine of the county prince, he can also follow his rapid rise.
Hearing this, she hummed low and said in a lowered voice: "Mrs. Xiao Zhou, if the king of the county is gone, whose words will the eldest princess listen to the most?"
Zhou Yiliu had never thought about such a treasonous thing, especially since she was obsessed with Fu Jiuqu. How could she want him to die?
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Yiliu lowered his face, "If you tell lies again, I will ask His Highness to sell you out."
"Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, I don't have any bad intentions, I'm just talking..." The little girl bowed nervously and said without giving up: "In my opinion, His Highness loves my wife the most. If the real prince doesn't
Well, madam, you are the eldest princess’s only heart and soul..."
"I told you to shut up!" Zhou Yiliu suddenly raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
The girl was stunned and looked at her in shock, motionless.
Zhou Yiliu's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The master is my heaven, and the prince is also my heaven, Zhou Yiliu. When you are a servant, it is the right way to serve your master wholeheartedly. If you have evil thoughts, then
You will be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
"Mrs. Xiao Zhou, I just, I just can't stand that little Mrs. Zhang... We all have the same untouchable background. Why did she win the favor of the prince and become a master..."
Zhou Yiliu narrowed his eyes, "It's also a person's ability to live like a master. If you have the ability, go and let the prince pamper you."
"...Don't be angry, madam. I was wrong. I won't dare to say anything nonsense next time."

On the couch in the inner room, Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips tightly and fell asleep.
Zhou Daozi and two imperial doctors were discussing nervously. Before Xin Yi arrived, they had given Fu Jiuqu medicine to refresh his mind and remove impurities, and performed acupuncture, but he still showed no sign of waking up.
The eldest princess sat on the stool beside the bed, held Fu Jiuqu's hand, and cried silently.
The eldest girl Bai Zhi hurriedly came in and announced that Sun Huai had invited Mrs. Zhang. The eldest princess immediately changed her expression and her eyes were filled with hope.
"Quick, please!"
Xin Yi did not wait for the eldest princess to "invite" her. When Bai Zhi entered the room, she had already followed her.
Saving people is a race against time. When she heard that Fu Jiuqu was unconscious, she had already turned on the "plug-in" mode. How could she care about the etiquette of respect and inferiority?
"A commoner's wife has met the eldest princess." Xin Yi bowed lightly to Zhao Yuqing, took the medicine box from her husband's hand and approached Fu Jiuqu.
She didn't take into account that there was someone next to her, she just sat on the edge of the bed and clasped Fu Jiuqu's wrist.
The eldest princess asked eagerly: "How is it? How is my son?"
Xin Yi frowned and asked for pulse for a moment, then suddenly turned his head, "Mr. Zhou, have you used our newly prepared anticoagulant medicine?"
That medicine was specially prepared for Fu Jiuqu's heart disease.
Zhou Daozi knew what medicine she was talking about and nodded repeatedly, his voice full of anxiety.
