Chapter 30 It's too late after all
Cuiping hurried to the front yard, looking panicked. When she saw Mu Qingyan, she forgot to be polite and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, it's bad, Madam Yuan vomited blood and fainted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash before his eyes and Mu Qingyan's figure disappeared.
Cui He looked at Prince Ling, "Your Majesty, do you want to see a doctor?"
Prince Ling had already raised his foot and walked quickly towards Qin Garden. "No need, Miss Mu is the best doctor."
Cuihe hadn't caught her breath yet, but her master had left, so she had to hurry to catch up.
Yuan Ying was so anxious that she couldn't cry out. She kept holding Madam Yuan's hand and kept calling her mother, mother...
When Mu Qingyan arrived, Madam Yuan was already unconscious.
She asked Yuzhan to close the door, and she untied Madam Yuan's clothes. After one stitch, the person who had been holding her breath suddenly opened her mouth, exhaled, and then regained consciousness.
Seeing her mother wake up, Yuanying burst into laughter.
"Mother……"
Mu Qingyan then took her pulse. Nanny Su was right. She had indeed been bedridden for a long time, but her condition had improved a little recently. However, the long journey and the fear had consumed the little energy she had regained in the past few days.
"Miss Cuiping, please prepare the writing brush and ink."
Mu Qingyan suddenly said after taking the pulse.
Cuiping was flattered to see her being so polite, and hurriedly bowed, "Young lady, please tell me if you have anything to say. There's no need to be so polite... I'll go right away." She was the future mistress of their palace!
From the day the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, Nanny Su summoned all the servants in the palace and told them that although Miss Mu had not yet officially entered the house, everyone had to treat her as the mistress of the house and not show any neglect. Violators would be punished with ten strokes of the cane and expelled from the palace to serve as a warning to others.
Cuiping quickly came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Mu Qingyan began to write the prescription.
After writing it, he gave it to Yuzhan and said, "Go get the medicine according to the prescription and boil it immediately when you come back. Don't delay."
"Yes, girl."
After Cuiping and Cuihe cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground and changed Madam Yuan's clothes, they left.
There were only Madam Yuan, her daughter, and Mu Qingyan in the room.
She sat down beside the bed, took Madam Yuan's hand, and sighed softly, "Aunt's chronic illness is hard to cure because she worries too much. Thinking all the time is like burning the midnight oil. In the future, you must relax your heart and look at things in a positive way. After all, no matter how good the medicine is, it can only cure the disease, not the heart..."
Madam Yuan's face turned pale, and her eyes were blurred with tears when she heard the words. She grabbed Mu Qingyan's hand with her slightly trembling other hand, "I am a weak aunt. Over the years, I have not fulfilled my duties as an elder for you. As a result, you have been exiled and suffered all the sufferings of the world. Even if I die, I will not have the face to see your mother..."
Hearing these heartfelt words, Mu Qingyan felt a little sad.
In her previous life, she grew up under the care of her relatives.
But the original owner had never received any warmth from his relatives.
After all, it's too late...
She felt panic and sorrow for Mu Qingyan, who had suffered all the hardships in the world and died in vain.
"None of the suffering I've endured was caused by my aunt. Aunt, don't worry about it. If you feel you owe me something, then take good care of me. When you get better, I'll slowly make it up to you in the future. Okay?"
Madam Yuan nodded heavily.
"What I need to do now is to have a good rest. The rest will be left to the prince. He is your future nephew-in-law. It would be a waste if we don't use him, don't you think?"
Madam Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say! I'll take good care of him."
Mu Qingyan had someone light some calming incense. After Madam Yuan fell into a deep sleep, she pulled Yuan Ying out of the room.
Yuanying also had a lot to say to this cousin whom she had only heard of from her mother before but whom she got to meet today.
"Cousin, don't blame mother. When the news that Aunt Qingqin died during childbirth and you were sent to Cangzhou in your cradle reached Huaiyang, mother was pregnant with me. She was frightened and had a difficult delivery. Although she survived, she was also seriously injured due to excessive grief. For so many years, she has been relying on drugs to survive... She sent people to Cangzhou many times to bring you to her side, but the people in Cangzhou are simply scoundrels. Not only did they not let her see you, they also hurt people, or they just wanted to take a child to fool her..."
"Later, a letter from the Duke of Kyoto completely ended my mother's idea of bringing you to her side. I don't know what the letter said, but after that, my mother never mentioned bringing you to her side again... Her condition worsened day by day due to her fear and worry. She was always drowsy and had problems with her mind, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused... Until a year ago, she was fortunate enough to invite a miracle doctor to give her advice and prescribe the right medicine, and my mother's condition has improved... Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have passed away long ago..."
Mu Qingyan listened carefully. In fact, she could get a general idea from the pulse.
But the twists and turns during this period are really heartbreaking.
She had also tried hard to show some warmth to the original owner, but for various reasons, she couldn't do it.
In fact, the only reason she can live till now is because of a belief.
She was always thinking about the niece whom she failed to take care of in time...
"I see. You must be very tired after traveling for such a long time and being so worried. Go and have a rest. I'll let Yuzhan take care of your aunt."
Yuan Ying nodded, stood up and walked into the house. Before entering, she looked at Mu Qingyan deeply and bowed solemnly, "Cousin, thank you..."
Then go in.
When Mu Qingyan left Qin Garden, Prince Ling was standing on the cobblestone path outside Qin Garden. He turned around when he heard a voice behind him.
"Why is the prince here?"
For some reason, the man looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.
"Nothing, I just came over to take a look because I was anxious."
The Governor of Kyushu Canal Transport was a second-rank official of the imperial court. However, his power and authority were much greater than those of the second-rank officials in Kyoto. He not only had to manage all matters related to the canal transport, but also river repair and defense, local military affairs, administration, and other aspects. He had 4,000 troops under his command.
Anyone who dared to privately detain a second-rank official must have someone of higher status behind him. It could be a duke, a marquis, an earl, or a royal relative. Lan Hui was also involved, but the Duke of Fuguo would not have the guts to do that. If it had nothing to do with the Lan family, then it had something to do with the Queen Mother.
"You sent Ah Shu to Huaiyang. Do you have any capable people around you?"
The original owner's aunt's health was already precarious. If the Yuan family father and son were killed, she would probably not be able to survive.
Although she had her own selfish desires and hoped that the Yuan family father and son would be safe, Prince Ling also needed someone to protect him. After all, the people had seen that Madam Yuan and her daughter had entered Prince Ling's mansion, and the palace could not hide it. If it was really related to the Queen Mother, Prince Ling would also be implicated, or even in danger of his life...
