Chapter 121 There is still hope
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, and Chen asked the doorman to report.
Not long after, the housekeeper came out to welcome them in.
"Please come in, ladies. Our lady caught a cold a few days ago and cannot come out to greet you in person. I can only ask this old servant to come and pick you up. I hope you can forgive me." The nanny apologized.
Chen smiled and said, "Why be so polite? Sister Ning is not feeling well. We asked her to come out to greet us. If she falls ill, it would be our fault."
She never thought that Ning would come out to greet them.
Ning didn't even attend the palace banquet, let alone the fact that she was the wife of a duke.
Chen Jingzhong is the most trusted military general of Your Majesty. He grew up with Your Majesty, and Chen Jingzhong's mother is also Your Majesty's wet nurse. In the entire Kyoto city, no one dares to say that Chen Jingzhong is arrogant.
As long as His Majesty is still alive, no one can touch the Chen family no matter how arrogant Chen Jingzhong is.
What's more, Chen Jingzhong's arrogance is only directed at those who dislike him, who are all old foxes who play power games.
His straightforwardness actually makes Your Majesty feel more at ease.
She also took great pains to help Lu Ziyi marry Chen Jingzhong's precious daughter.
The nanny led the two to the main hall, where Ning was already waiting.
Seeing them come in, she stood up to greet them.
"I pay my respects to the wife of the Duke and the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan." Ning bowed and saluted.
Chen hurried over and helped Ning sit down.
"Silly sister! Take it easy, sit down and have a rest."
Ning held the handkerchief and coughed twice, then sat back down.
Looking at the pale-faced Ning, Su Yuan finally saw the real sick beauty.
Ning was indeed beautiful. There were many beautiful women in Kyoto, but she had never seen anyone like Ning.
"It's all my fault for my health. I made Sister Chen worry." Ning panted slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Seeing her like this, Chen felt inexplicably distressed.
No wonder Chen Jingzhong was reluctant to let Ning go out for social events. If it were her, she would also hold it carefully, fearing that it would break if she was not careful.
"Sister Ning, you... Today I brought a miracle doctor to see you. This sister Su is not only the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan, but also a miracle doctor with superb medical skills.
"Sister Ning, why don't you let her take a look at you? If you can get your body in good shape, you'll suffer less in the future." Chen held Ning's hand and advised.
Ning looked at Su Yuan and smiled gently, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."
Su Yuan sat next to Ning and took her pulse.
Ning's pulse was weak and disordered. In addition to his own physical weakness, he had been given cold and weak medicines for many years.
The cold was not eliminated, and her frequent tonic intake aggravated her condition.
If this continues, she will die of exhaustion within half a year.
Seeing that Su Yuan remained silent for a long time, Ning spoke up to help, "Even the imperial physician can't cure my condition, so Madam, you don't have to worry about me."
Su Yuan looked up at her and she sighed softly.
The imperial physicians should be able to cure it, but they just don't want to take responsibility.
If you want to save Ning, you have to bleed her first to force out the blood stasis and coldness in her body, and then use medicine to regulate her.
Otherwise, no matter how much medicine she takes, it will be useless.
She is the woman Chen Jingzhong cherishes most in his heart. How could the imperial physician dare to hurt her in the slightest?
They were imperial physicians, while Chen Jingzhong was a military general, a military general who would not show favoritism. It was useless for them to ask for Chen Jingzhong's favor, but if something went wrong, they might be killed directly by Chen Jingzhong.
Who is willing to take the risk to save her?
"Mrs. Chen, your illness is actually not incurable, but..."
Before Su Yuan could finish her words, a loud voice rang out from the doorway. "What did you say? You said Shuang'er's illness can be cured?"
As soon as Chen Jingzhong finished speaking, he arrived at the main hall.
Ning gave him a resentful look, but Chen Jingzhong didn't notice. He stared at Su Yuan, wanting to get a positive answer.
Su Yuan smiled and nodded, "I do have a way to help Madam Chen recuperate, but I don't know if Master Chen would be willing to do it."
Chen Jingzhong was ecstatic. The eight-foot (1.9-meter) tall middle-aged man was as happy as a child.
"Shuang'er! Did you hear that? The wife of Marquis Zhennan said she can cure you!" He held Ning's hand and said with a doting face.
Ning pulled her hand back, "Why is your Excellency here?"
She was entertaining guests at home, why was he coming over?
Chen Jingzhong was a little embarrassed. He had heard that there were guests at the mansion, and he was afraid that Ning would be tired, so he came to see them so that he could send them away.
But he didn't expect to hear such good news as soon as he arrived.
Who else is he chasing away?
He wants to worship Su Yuan!
As long as Su Yuan can cure his wife, he will do anything.
"I just came to take a look. Thank you for your courtesy, ladies." Chen Jingzhong bowed and said politely.
It was rare for Chen Jingzhong to look so friendly, so she couldn't help but tease him, "Master Chen is so polite today that we feel like strangers."
"Madam, you're joking. I've always been so polite." He exchanged a few words with Chen and anxiously asked Su Yuan how to deal with Ning.
"Madam Gu, please help save my wife. From now on, I, Chen Jingzhong, owe you a life. If Madam Gu asks me to go through fire and water, I, Chen Jingzhong, will do it without hesitation." After Chen Jingzhong finished speaking, he knelt down and begged Su Yuan.
Su Yuan widened her eyes slightly. It seemed that Chen Jingzhong really doted on his wife.
In this era when men can have three wives and four concubines, it is rare to find a man who dotes on his wife.
"Master Chen, there's no need to be so polite. Sister Ning and I hit it off the moment we met. It's my duty to do my best to help her recover her health." Su Yuanxu gave Chen Jingzhong a hand and asked him to get up quickly.
Chen Jingzhong was so grateful that his nose felt sore and he resisted the urge to cry in front of them. "Thank you so much!"
His Frost...
The imperial physicians all said that there was no cure for her and that she only had two or three months to live. He consulted countless doctors, but they all said there was no hope. Unexpectedly, someone finally said that his Shuang'er could be saved.
"Sister Ning is weak and needs careful care. Lord Chen, would you be willing to let me take Sister Ning back to the Marquis' Mansion to live for three months? After three months, I will return a healthy Sister Ning to you." Su Yuan asked.
Since she promised to save people, she must ensure that Ning will recover.
Otherwise, if something happens to the Ning family under her hands, won't she be blamed?
She doesn't trust anyone from the Chen family.
Her mansion is the safest.
By letting Ning live in the Marquis' Mansion to receive treatment, those who wanted to harm her would have no way to do anything.
Chen Jingzhong was a little hesitant. If he let Shuang'er live in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion for three months, wouldn't he not be able to see her for three months?
What's more, if someone from the Zhennan Marquis Mansion offended her and he was not around, wouldn't she be wronged?
But he couldn't ask Su Yuan to live in his house, right?
Without waiting for Chen Jingzhong to speak, Ning held Su Yuan's hand and said, "Okay! If I change my environment and live in a different place for a few days, maybe my body will get better faster."
