Chapter 38: If the heart is not sincere, the gods will not appear

Yue's dead horse was regarded as a living horse doctor, and she immediately sent people to find the rumored old Taoist priest. However, to her disappointment, the servant who went there wandered the streets for a long time and never saw the person she was looking for.

At the same time, in an inn on the corner of the street.

An Yueli and Huansha watched all this from a high position, while the old Taoist priest from before was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.

"When does the princess want Pindao to come forward?"

"If you are not in a hurry and your heart is not sincere, the gods will not appear."

Unable to find an old Taoist priest, Yueshi could only worry. Just when she was still hesitating whether to find another doctor to see her, An Yurou fell ill again.

At this time, Yue Shi was waiting for An Guogong to change his dressing. The injury on his back had basically healed, but the scar was itching unbearably, and he had to apply cool ointment to relieve it.

As soon as Yue took the medicine jar in her hand, she saw Grandma Wang walking in with a hurried look.

"Madam, the young lady wants to see you."

As soon as he saw the anxious look on his face covered in sweat, Yue's heart skipped a beat.

She glanced guiltily at An Guogong, who was lying on the bed waiting to be served, and cautiously probed.

"Master, Yurou hasn't been feeling well these past two days, and I want to visit you. How about I ask the servant to give you this medicine?"

"What's wrong with Yurou?"

"It's nothing. I just suffered from a bit of heat and haven't been feeling well for the past two days."

Although An Guogong was a little dissatisfied, he did not stop him. He only told him to go early and come back early, and then he chose a pretty and pleasant-looking maid to come in and wait on him.

Yue Shi was heartbroken but had no choice but to endure the pain and go to Ziguang Garden.

Unexpectedly, before I started applying the medicine, I heard several maids talking outside the door.

"Have you heard that the second lady is crazy?"

"Yes, it seems that it started two days ago. Some people said that she was possessed by an evil spirit."

"It's really scary. I heard that the second lady went crazy and scratched her face. I don't know how she contracted this mad disease and whether it is contagious. What if someone dies?"

The charming thoughts that had just arisen in An Guogong disappeared in an instant, and he sat up suddenly.

"Who is speaking."

A low exclamation came from outside the door, and the discussion disappeared instantly.

An Guogong asked the maid next to him, "Did you hear it? Was someone talking just now?"

"When my father-in-law returns home, it seems that someone is talking about the second young lady."

"Go and call in the gossip!"

The maid obeyed the order and opened the door, but she only saw the back figures of the two women trotting away. She returned to the bedroom and reported the truth truthfully. Instead of dispelling An Guogong's doubts, she made him even more flustered.

"The two maids just said that Yurou is suffering from madness? Did I hear that right?"

The maid neither dared to admit nor lie, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

An Guogong sat on pins and needles and thought for a moment, recalling many details from before.

Yueshi suddenly went to Ziguangyuan in the middle of the night yesterday. At that time, she only said that An Yurou had suffered from heatstroke and had a fever. Today when the doctor came to the house, he only regarded it as a follow-up consultation and didn't take it to heart.

Now it seems that something is wrong.

"Come here, help me change my clothes."

Duke An Guo didn't bother to change his dressing, so he put on his clothes and hurried to Ziguang Garden.

The sky outside was gradually getting dark. He felt that the boy leading the way was walking slowly, so he grabbed the lantern from his hand and accelerated his pace.

When we arrived at Ziguangyuan, we heard chaotic noises inside through the second door.

"Quick, get some hot water ready. The second lady just vomited and needs to wipe herself down."

"Go and ask why the medicine is not ready yet, and give it a try again."

An Guogong stopped at the second gate, his face very ugly. The boy behind him wanted to go in to report, but he stopped him.

"There is no need to spread the word. I will go and see for myself what happened."

Because the privacy of the female family members in the palace was involved, most of the entourage stayed outside the second door to wait. Duke An Guo only brought two trustworthy servants in.

Grandma Wang was anxiously directing the maids and women in the yard when she suddenly saw Duke An Guo and his men coming, and she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Guo, Duke Guo? Why are you here?"

Before An Guogong could speak, she subconsciously wanted to tip off the Yue family in the room, but before she could open her mouth, the servant covered her mouth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Grandma Wang broke out in a cold sweat and her eyes widened.

Duke An Guo ordered in a deep voice: "Keep her under my watch and don't make any sound."

After saying this, he pushed open the door and entered alone.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, almost making people want to vomit.

In the bedroom, Yue was talking to the doctor, with a clear cry in his voice.

"Doctor, please think of something! My daughter was fine a few days ago, why did she suddenly get this strange disease?

You have been treating our government all year round, and I cannot trust your medical skills any more. Please think of a way to wake up my daughter quickly, whether it is acupuncture or medicine."

Then the doctor stood up and bowed, "As I said last time, it's not that I don't try my best to treat her. It's just that the second young lady's hysteria came on too suddenly, and I really can't do anything."

"Hysteria! Yurou really has hysteria!"

A familiar voice came from outside the bead curtain. Yue Shi suddenly looked back, and what he saw was the shocked and angry face of An Guogong.

"master!?"

"Explain to me clearly what is going on? How did Yurou get hysteria!?"

Yue Shi was flustered and took two deep breaths to steady herself.

"Master has misunderstood. It's not hysteria, it's just some heat."

"Lie! I heard it even outside the door!"

An Guogong opened the bead curtain and asked the doctor directly, "Tell me, why did she get hysteria? Is this disease fatal? Is it contagious?"

"No, no, no, it's not contagious." Yue Shi realized the profound meaning of his words and hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, sir, Yu Rou is just feeling slightly unwell, and she will feel better after taking medicine in two days."

"you shut up."

Duke An Guo interrupted Yue's words rudely and forced the doctor to tell the truth.

"I am the head of the family. If you dare to lie, you should know the consequences."

The doctor's eyes turned back and forth between Yue Shi and An Guogong, and he wisely chose the latter.

"I don't dare to deceive the Duke. The situation of the second lady is not optimistic. I think we need to hurry up and find a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment before we can escape from danger."

While he was talking, Yue had already staggered to the front of An Guogong and begged with tears in his eyes.

"Master, Yurou is our only daughter, you must not give up on her!"

"It's not that I want to give up on her, it's that the doctor said there's nothing he can do. If the disease spreads to others, then everyone in the house will be in danger.
