Since the Imperial Physician Situ had come, Jin Lan naturally got up. The Mama Tang hurriedly helped her clean her face, but luckily, her hair had not been messed up after just lying down. It was just that the tasseled hairpin made with golden water chestnuts and red jadeite grains was a little crooked, so it could be adjusted a little.
Just as he was packing up, Bi He's clear voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Imperial Physician Situ is here."
The Mama Tang was bustling with activity as she laid back on her pillow. She raised her voice and said, "Quickly, ask Imperial Physician Situ to come in." Then he tuck the quilt in his hand and covered Jin Lan's body.
Bi He pulled up the curtain and led the Imperial Physician Situ into the house, behind him followed Mama Shang and Yan Rong.
Jin Lan looked at Yan Rong in surprise, then said with a light smile. "Why is Big Sister Yan Rong here?" She swept a glance behind Yan Rong. Other than Bi He, there was no one else.
In the past when the Imperial Physician Situ entered the manor, it was always his mother who accompanied his here. Why did he...
Yan Rong went forward to pay her respects to Jin Lan, and smiled: "Madam is currently at Jiayu Hall to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival with the old lady, and cannot leave right now, so the old lady asked me to lure the Imperial Physician Situ over."
This implied that the Old Granny wanted to know the condition of Second Miss's body.
Jin Lan's breath faltered, but a smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "I still need to trouble you, old lady. It's all my body's fault."
Yan Rong's eyes flashed, and laughed: "Miss is the person that the old lady is most anxious about, when has the old lady not been worried about? "Even in the capital, he would mutter these words everyday."
Mama Shang saw the impatience on Imperial Physician Situ's face, and pinched Yan Rong's words, she extended her hand out, "Please help my lady with the pulse first."
Yan Rong was startled, her face revealed a few expressions, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something but she stopped himself.
Imperial Physician Situ glanced at the few of them before putting down the medicine box and walking over to the bed.
Jin Lan raised his eyes to look at him and said weakly, "Thank you, Grandpa Situ."
Seeing Jin Lan's gloomy expression, Imperial Physician Situ frowned and did not say anything. He waited for Mama Tang to place the silk handkerchief on her white wrist and then placed her hand on it.
Mama Tang and Bi He, as well as Yan Rong, were all nervously staring at Imperial Physician Situ. Even the Mama Shang couldn't help but wring her handkerchief.
Imperial Physician Situ stroked the few strands of white beard on his chin, his hand paused for a moment, his eyebrows knitted together, he inadvertently looked at Jin Lan's little face, saw his clear eyes revealing hints of pleading, and recalled the few words he spoke when he entered the room, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Jin Lan held his breath, carefully observing Imperial Physician Situ's expression. Seeing his eyes that were as heavy as water, his heart gradually turned cold.
Imperial Physician Situ's prescription was indeed effective, after eating it for so many days, his body was getting more and more powerful, but now that his path was unknown, being sick was actually a good thing that he could only wish for.
She had calculated the days when Imperial Physician Situ would come to help her pulse. Last night, she had borrowed the power of the bath to think of some tricks, but since Mama Shang was outside, it was not easy to make things too obvious. Although the autumn wind was not as sharp as the winter wind, it was still as cold as the night water. Her four limbs were cold as she woke up early in the morning, and her forehead throbbed with pain.
From the looks of it, her little tricks might not be able to hide from this highly skilled physician. He only hoped that since he had treated him with respect every time they met in the past, he wouldn't say too much.
Imperial Physician Situ retracted his hand, and spoke slowly: "My cold is much better than before, I am sure."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, everyone's faces lit up, but Jin Lan's heart sank to the bottom.
She secretly sucked in a deep breath and clenched her hands into fists. A hint of gratitude appeared on her face as she softly said, "It's all thanks to grandpa Situ's wonderful return to life that Lan`er's body can live to this day." Then he sighed, "It's just that I've been drinking the medicinal juice that's as bitter as a yellow lotus all day, I don't know when it'll be the end." "It sounded like a sigh, but it carried meaning.
After all, the body was still his. If he wanted to recover, he would naturally be able to recover. If he didn't want to recover, there were plenty of ways to stay sick for a long time. As an imperial physician, if he couldn't even treat a minor illness, wouldn't that be detrimental to his illustrious reputation as an expert returning to spring?
Imperial Physician Situ's eyes narrowed as he looked pensively at Jin Lan. He saw that she had an unperturbed expression and a slight smile at the corners of her lips, as if what she had said just now was just a response. He thought for a while and said slowly, "Although she has improved a bit, the chills on her body are not the result of just one or two days of rest. She still needs to meditate and recuperate. This medicine may be bitter, but it's a good medicine. As long as the girl takes it according to the time, there will be a day when she will recover completely.
These words made Mama Shang and Yan Rong praise her again, but Mama Tang and Bi He were still happy. As long as this lady could recover, even if it was just a trace, it would still be good.
"Imperial Physician Situ, can you really not heal the lady's body as quickly as possible?" In the end, Mama Shang was not satisfied, she watched as the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, and the time for her to set off approached, but Second Miss's body was still sickly and listless. Let alone the rules of the church, even taking a few steps would make her breathless, how could she go as she had planned?
Imperial Physician Situ glanced at Mama Shang and snorted, "If you think you're proficient in medicine, then you don't have to invite me over to your residence to treat your miss yourself." As he spoke, he stood up and flicked his sleeves, preparing to leave.
The Mama Shang was shocked. Only now did she remember the Imperial Physician Situ's temperament and quickly replied: "This old servant has talked too much. Please forgive me."
Yan Rong, Mama Tang and the others also hurriedly went forward to advise him otherwise. Looking at the Imperial Physician Situ's occasional wink, the corners of Jin Lan's mouth curled up into a sly smile, and then returned to normal.
Imperial Physician Situ glared at her unhappily, and said angrily: "Prepare the brush and ink." He then said, "Your lady wants to rest. Why are there so many people guarding his? Get out!"
Everyone had no choice but to retreat and wait outside, leaving Mama Tang to wait inside. Imperial Physician Situ looked at Mama Tang, "Go and get the medicine box."
The medicine chest was placed by Imperial Physician Situ in front of a small round table carved with red wood in front of the Treasure Chest in the inner room.
The Imperial Physician Situ took the chance and turned his head to glare at Yue Yang. Using his voice that only the two of them could hear, he shouted: "Little girl, what a good idea you have made!"
Seeing Imperial Physician Situ's furious look, Jin Lan almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Fortunately, she had been paying attention so she quickly held it in, put on an innocent expression, and asked in a low voice: "What did Grandpa Situ say? Why can't Lan Er understand a single word? "
"You, you …" Imperial Physician Situ's snow-white brows trembled. Just as she was about to speak up, Mama Tang had already walked over with a medicinal case in her hands. She could only swallow the words at the corner of her mouth and give Jin Lan another glare.
He walked over and took out a blue and white porcelain bottle with a red silk stopper from the medicine box. He placed it on the table with a heavy sound, "There are two pills per day. Take them after breakfast and send them with warm water." He picked up the lakeshore pen and began to write on the pure white paper.
After a short while, he put down the pen, picked up the ink, and nodded his head in satisfaction. "The recipe from a few days ago can be stopped. From now on, I'll use this recipe three times a day."
When Mama Tang took the prescription, she glanced sideways and proudly raised her eyebrows at Jin Lan.
Jin Lan suddenly shuddered as a bad premonition arose in his heart.
After writing the prescription, Imperial Physician Situ did not say anymore. He picked up his medicine box and walked out. The Mama Tang hurriedly sent him out, allowing Bi He to return to his room to take care of Jin Lan.
The Mama Shang and Yan Rong were naturally waiting outside. They had originally wanted to invite the Imperial Physician Situ to the old lady's room, but unfortunately for him, the old man was in a bad mood and did not say a word. The two of them had no choice but to give up. Mama Shang returned to her Lan Garden, and only after Yan Rong sent him out of the residence did he return to the Jiayu Hall.
Yan Rong told Old Madame Ye and Madame SHen everything that she knew.
Old Madame Ye sighed, "Girl Lan is a lucky man, she was born weak, and fell into the water multiple times. In the end, she was injured in the root of the problem, how can she recover so easily?" After pausing for a moment, she continued the Madame SHen, "When you get back, go to the Lan Garden and see what ingredients the Girl Lan's prescription requires. If you don't have any in the public, come and get them from me."
Originally, Old Madame Ye said that Jin Lan's body was delicate and weak, but when she hinted at the fact that he was pregnant, the expression on Madame SHen's face dimmed a little. However, she still tactfully refused: "Lan Er's food, Saliva, has always been taken from my private storage. Although it is not as good as the food in the old lady's room, it is still better than the food outside, and when the day comes that none of it exists, he will definitely come to find the old lady."
The Old Madame Ye thought for a moment, then nodded her head in agreement.
Madame SHen remembered Jin Lan in his heart, so he continued: "So let's compare the Mid-Autumn Festival with the past ones, shall we? Other than relatives and families that have a good relationship with each other, the other daughter-in-law thought that there would be a slight decrease of two levels. After all, Master is about to go to the capital to continue his post.
In the past, even though Concubine Shao was in charge of managing these, she would still let Madame SHen look at the list. It was just that Ye Lin was about to go to the capital, if he gave them more gifts, the officials would think about whether or not he wanted to stay.
The position of the salt-patrolling censor was quite lacking. There were many people watching from below. If anything were to happen to him, it would be a small matter, and that would be even greater. Although it looked impolite, it gave everyone a peace of mind. At the same time, it also left a way out for Ye Lin.
Old Madame Ye looked at Madame SHen with satisfaction, "Let's do it this way." Even though this wife didn't like him at all, at least she had something to do. As she thought about it, she cared about Madame SHen for the first time: "There's been a lot of things going on in the family these few days, and your health isn't too good either. You have to be more careful."
Surprise flashed through Madame SHen's heart. She smiled and agreed, then stood up to take her leave, hurriedly heading to Lan Garden.
