When Jin Lan and Qiu Wen rushed to Shuixie Pavilion s, it was still a mess inside.

The outer room's floor was a mess. On the square table with purple sandalwood carved flowers, there were a few tea cups scattered around. From the looks of it, it was a set. As for the porcelain pieces on the ground, it must have been when Madame SHen fainted and crashed into the ground.

A maid who looked unfamiliar was standing in the corner, completely helpless. Jin Lan glanced at her quickly and walked into the room without asking further questions.

Madame SHen had already been helped to the bed. Hui Xiu was half-kneeling in front of the bed, her face completely pale white. Even her voice had a hint of a sobbing tone: "Madam, what's wrong? "Madam, please wake up …"

Mama Tang, Bi He and Qiu Wen who were behind Jin Lan were so scared that their bodies were trembling.

Jin Lan tightly gripped the handkerchief in his hand and took a few deep breaths before forcing himself to calm down. She quickly stepped forward and squeezed to the bedside only to see that Madame SHen's eyes were tightly shut, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was completely devoid of blood, his forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and even his breathing had become extremely shallow. She tried her best to stabilize her trembling voice, and said quickly: "Bi He, quickly go to the front yard and find Steward Li, get him to personally find a doctor, quickly!"

Miss, this servant has already ordered Mo Chu to go and invite the Doctor Gong. Seeing that Jin Lan had arrived, as if he had a backbone, Hui Xiu quickly asked him to find Steward Li for a doctor when she heard Jin Lan's instructions.

Jin Lan swept his gaze across Hui Xiu, but did not respond. Instead, he ordered Qiu Wen: "Go and clean up the outer room."

After Bi He and Qiu Wen heard this, they turned around and pulled up the curtain as they walked out.

"Miss, madam's body has always been taken care of by Doctor Gong …"

"Shut up!" Jin Lan cut Hui Xiu off.

Hui Xiu had never seen the soft Jin Lan get so angry, and she was stunned for a moment.

Jin Lan didn't bother to explain as he sat on the side of the bed and held Madame SHen's hands. It was cold and wet, so he said to the Mama Tang, "Mama, go get a basin of hot water."

Mama Tang replied and left, and the room immediately quietened down, leaving only Jin Lan and Hui Xiu guarding.

At this time, Jin Lan shifted his gaze to Hui Xiu, "Everything is fine, why did mother suddenly faint? I remember when I came in the morning, my mother said that she had been feeling a lot better recently. "

"This servant, this servant isn't sure, but after eating dinner, Chun Xiao, who was in the front yard's study, came to seek an audience with Madam. Madam thought that it was because of master's orders, so she let Chun Xiao in, and sent this servant to make tea. Hui Xiu was initially shocked and fearful, but after hearing Jin Lan's shout just now, she couldn't help but cry out loud, "Miss, what should we do!?"

Chun Xiao in the outer court's study? Could it be the maid that was standing in the outer room just now? What was she doing here? "And …" Why are you alone in the room? Where's Man Ping? " Jin Lan's heart was filled with resentment. He didn't even care about the usual intimacy as he directly called out his name.

"Man Ping's mother celebrated her birthday. She went on leave today and left the house very early." Hui Xiu knew that Jin Lan was truly angry, so she did not dare conceal it and told the truth.

Man Ping left the house on leave and went down to make some tea. Adding to the fact that Qiu Wen and Mo Chu were both level two maidservants, so they couldn't casually enter the house, then only and Madame SHen were left in the room. If that was the case, Madame SHen's fainting must have something to do with Chun Xiao! Jin Lan's expression darkened, and said coldly: "Lock that Chun Xiao up, and wait for mother to wake up before sending the message."

After Jin Lan came over, Mu Lan, who had been guarding outside the whole time, heard the voice coming from inside the house. He hurriedly called out to the two of them, and was prepared to take Chun Xiao, who was hiding in the outer room, out.

"Lady! This servant was wronged! This servant did not harm Madam! " The servant girl called Chun Xiao was distracted only after being grabbed by the servants, she struggled to get up, "This servant does not have one, this servant was wrongly accused, this lady cannot abuse her private punishment!"

Sure enough, she was a maidservant from the outer court. She was extraordinary and could even blurt out the abuse of lynching. Jin Lan laughed out of anger and raised his voice, "So you're saying that Madam fainted on her own accord?"

Seeing Jin Lan speak, Chun Xiao was overjoyed. She thought that she had hope of exonerating, and hurriedly replied, "Lady, please understand. This servant had only just entered the room, and had not even had the chance to reply to Madam. "Everyone in the manor knows that Madam's health hasn't been good all this time. The weather has been hot recently, maybe she's in the middle of the summer heat …"

Before Chun Xiao could finish her words, Hui Xiu saw that Jin Lan's complexion was growing worse and worse. She could not help but shout: "What are you waiting for? Was it up to her to make noise between the wife and the girl? Stop talking and drag him down! "

's wife was quick to react and quickly stuffed the handkerchief in her hands into her mouth. The dense smell of sweat made Chun Xiao feel like she was about to puke, and before she could even struggle, she had already pulled him out.

An outer court maid dared to be presumptuous in front of the Shuixie Pavilion? Jin Lan tightly gripped Madame SHen's hand, not knowing whether to be angry or sad in his heart.

Only after Mama Tang brought hot water over did she regain her senses. She soaked the cotton towel in water and carefully wiped the cold sweat off Madame SHen's face and hands.

Madame SHen's expression was extremely unsightly, cold sweat continuously oozed out nonstop, and her palms were ice-cold. Jin Lan bit his lips and wiped it clean over and over. Only when Mama Tang noticed that something was wrong and stepped forward to grab her hand did he realize that her face was already wet and cold.

"Miss." Mama Tang's heart tightened, her wife had fainted, if something were to happen to the young lady again …

"I'm fine." Jin Lan broke free from Mama Tang's hands and realised that she was shaking violently. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face with the handkerchief before asking, "Why is the doctor not here yet?"

"This servant will go take a look now." Qiu Wen glanced at Jin Lan and was about to go to the outer courtyard to check out the situation, but she didn't expect that a voice came from outside the house the moment she walked out of the inner room.

"Sister Hui Xiu, Doctor Gong is here!" Mo Chu gasped for breath as he lifted the curtain. A slender figure entered the room, it was the female doctor who had treated Jin Lan that day.

The Doctor Gong was wearing a simple long skirt made of cloud silk, his hair was tied up with two simple pearl hairpins. He was plain and elegant, giving off the feeling of an almond forest. However, she had an indifferent expression on his face as she walked into the inner room.

When Jin Lan saw Doctor Gong enter, although she was extremely unwilling, the situation in Madame SHen was extremely critical. She did not know when the doctor that Steward Li had invited would arrive, and could only let her have a look. Thus, he got off the bed, and made room for Doctor Gong to have a look.

The Doctor Gong looked at Jin Lan indifferently, without saying a word, he extended his hand to the Madame SHen's vein, Hui Xiu and the rest stood quietly behind, not daring to even breathe.

Jin Lan pretended to be calm as he stood at the side and watched. Unconsciously, he raised the handkerchief in his hand.

Doctor Gong called out for a while, then stared at Madame SHen for a long time. She frowned, without saying a word, she got up and went to the side to write out the prescription.

Although Jin Lan and the others were burning with anxiety, they didn't dare to step forward and inquire, as they were afraid of disturbing her explanation.

When Doctor Gong put down his brush, Jin Lan rushed forward and asked: "Doctor Gong, about my mother's illness …"

Doctor Gong picked up the prescription that had been written down and blew it lightly a few times. Then he said neither too quickly nor too slowly, "Although the Snow Root Iris has the same effect of calming the heart as the lily, to Madam, it is like arsenic coated in honey. "Fortunately, I discovered it early, and it might be dangerous. If there's a next time …" She lowered her voice and quickly swept her eyes over everyone.

Jin Lan's face paled, she was shocked and afraid. Doctor Gong might not have said it out loud, but she could hear the danger involved.

It was not a secret in Ye Family that one could not smell the fragrance of the Snow Root Iris when they were born. As a result, although the flower beds in the Ye Family were full of flowers, there would always be one Snow Root Iris missing. Now, something that should not have appeared in the Ye Family, and was even in the Madame SHen's house, how could Jin Lan not be afraid?

Who was it that wanted to harm the Madame SHen? Was it the Concubine Shao? But in her previous life, three years after Madame SHen met with mishap, why would she do it now...

If it wasn't Concubine Shao, who could it be? Speaking of which, Chun Xiao is an outer court servant, could it be Ye Lin!?

Jin Lan's heart was in turmoil, and after thinking about it again and again, he even felt that everyone was harmful to the Madame SHen.

"Just take this recipe and cook it on fire for an hour. Then, cook it in three bowls of water and make it into a bowl. Sooner or later, take it each once. After three consecutive days, I will come back for a consultation." Doctor Gong passed two prescriptions to Hui Xiu one after the other.

"Yes, this servant will follow you to grab the medicine." Hui Xiu respectfully received the medicinal formula.

Doctor Gong nodded and did not say anymore. After packing the medicine box, he left.

"Doctor Gong, please wait!" Only then did Jin Lan regain his senses, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Doctor Gong from leaving, his eyes revealing a look of anxiety, "When will my mother be able to wake up?"

Doctor Gong stared at Jin Lan's worried little face, his tone becoming slightly more gentle, "Take the first recipe, and Madam will wake up in a short while."

Hearing Doctor Gong's words, Jin Lan's hanging heart immediately dropped by half.

After sending off the Doctor Gong, before she could even return back into the house, she saw Bi He leading a few other people walking towards her. Borrowing the light from the lanterns, Jin Lan saw that the person walking in front was her father — — Ye Lin!
