Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing the situation, Liu Shimei whispered, “Lingyao, I have a headache.”
Sure enough, this casually mentioned headache was enough to calm down the rowdy Second Prince.
Huangfu Lingyao’s body stiffened. He returned to her side as quickly as he could and asked softly, “Wife, do you have a headache? Why don’t you call Imperial Physician Shu over to take a look at you?”
“Have you forgotten that 1 know how to treat patients?” Liu Shimei smiled faintly and turned to Liang Yi. “I’ll write a prescription. Ninth Brother, send someone to help me get some medicine.”
Liang Yi instructed for a pen and ink to be prepared.
Soon, ink and brush were brought over. Liu Shimei didn’t take much time and wrote a prescription, sending someone to fetch the herbs from Physician Shu.
The people present were all curious. Those who had witnessed Liu Shimei’s acupuncture skills last night even recounted what happened last night. This time, the news that Liu Shimei knew medical skills spread among the young masters and noble ladies.
All the fifth-rank officials’ families in the imperial capital attended the Peony Banquet, so this would undoubtedly become a topic of conversation.
It could be said that Liu Shimei had gained quite a lot from this trip.
Huangfu He was also surprised, wondering how she knew how to treat patients.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt as if he had never met Liu Shimei before. Ever since the incident on the night of the last Lantern Festival, she had changed into a different person. In her eyes, she no longer had any feelings for him. Why?
Meanwhile, the 30 slaps on Guan Ruping’s face were finally completed. Her face swelled as if she had been stung by a bee, and she was crying in pain on the ground.
“Brother Crown Prince, 1 want her to soak in water too! Make her sick!”
Silly Second Prince was restrained by Eldest Miss Liu. His heart ached for his wife, who was sick. He definitely could not rush over, but he did not want to give up just like that.
Of course, Huangfu He could not allow himself to be controlled by a foolish younger brother. He had his own way of punishing himself. He said, “Although Guan Ruping’s intention was to embarrass Miss Liu, her actions could lead to harming her life. And the one she’d harm is the future…”
He almost could not say those words, but he gritted his teeth and spat them out. “It would be Princess Dun Yu! Men, drag Guan Ruping down and send her to the Supreme Court for punishment!”
If they were sent to the Supreme Court, it would not be a civil dispute, but a criminal one that would not accept mediation.
After dealing with Guan Ruping, Liu Shimei kept sneezing.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and after experiencing a fall into the water followed by chilling winds, she could not resist catching a cold.
“My darling, are you feeling very uncomfortable?” Huangfu Ling Yao held her hand with tenderness and concern, wishing he could be the one who fell ill instead.
Liu Shimei pressed her temples and said, “I’m feeling a bit dizzy.”
The silly dog immediately wanted to carry her up. “Then 1’11 carry you back. I’ll get Mu’er to boil medicine for you later!”
Carrying her was, of course, out of the question, as it would be too embarrassing in front of everyone. Liu Shimei shook her head and said, “I should bid farewell to the Crown Prince first.”
Indeed, she could not hold on any longer. Relying on Huangfu Ling Yao’s support, she stood up and made a curtsy to Huangfu He, “Crown Prince…”
“Forget it, you can go back.” Seeing her sickly appearance, how could Huangfu He possibly stop her?
He turned to the eunuch beside him and said, “Send someone to send Miss Liu back to East Mountain Garden and tell Nanny Lin. to take good care of her. In addition, let Imperial Physician Shu move to the nearby area and watch over them.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” The Chief Eunuch agreed.
Huangfu Lingyao saw that Liu Shimei refused to let him carry her, so he could only help her out.
Once they were out of the door, he carried her on his back without caring about anything.
Since Liu Shimei was sick, the Liang family could not stand it anymore and left one by one.
When they came out, they saw that Huangfu Lingyao was carrying Liu Shimei on his back. Liu Shimei was lying on his back weakly. Her feeble and weak appearance made their hearts ache. Even Liang Yi was not willing to criticize her.
Liang Sheng said, “Let’s go back first and see how she is after taking the medicine.”
Once Liu Shimei was carried away by Huangfu Ling Yao, he turned to Liang Yi, who was showing worry and a desire to follow, and asked, “Since when did Shimei become skilled in medicine?”
Liang Yi was speechless..
