It's just that all of them were just rumors to the outside world. In Uncle Anjing's mansion, Su Yan was lying on the bed with a high fever, talking nonsense nonsense.
The old lady touched Su Yan's hot forehead distressedly, and hurriedly urged the servant girl to change another veil for her.
Last night, the servant girl discovered that Su Yan had a fever. Zhong Ning prescribed anti-fever prescriptions overnight, but it was useless after taking it. Mrs. Zhong came over, and after seeing it, Mrs. Zhong said to the old lady: "It's not a disease, I'm afraid it's a lost soul."
The education Ms. Zhong has received since she was a child is against superstition, but her personal experience has shattered all her cognition. She knows that many things in this world cannot be explained by science, and everyone should be in awe of the gods.
Liu Xiang took it for granted, and said to the old lady: "Last night, the girl had a nightmare when she was sleeping, and the maid woke the girl up, and then the girl fell asleep for a while before she developed a fever." He slapped himself reproachfully: "It's all the maidservant's fault. It would be fine if the maidservant wasn't called a girl yesterday."
The folks say that if a person has a nightmare in a dream, she can't scream, and she can only wake up by herself, otherwise it is easy to lose her soul in the dream.
Liu Xiang had also heard of this, but she was so nervous last night that she never thought of it.
"I can't blame you." The old lady waved her hand and asked Mrs. Zhong: "Why don't you find a Taoist priest to do a magic spell for sister Yan to take away her soul?"
"Let's try it." Mrs. Zhong was also not sure: "Use any method as soon as possible, she has a high fever, and if the fever continues like this, it will easily burn out her brain."
Hearing that these two people were going to make those mysterious things, Zhong Ning objected: "Mother, please show me again, those Taoist monks are probably deceiving."
Hearing that Zhong Ning called Mrs. Zhong, the old lady was not surprised at all, it seemed that she knew it long ago.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
After receiving the news that Su Yan was ill, Princess Rongyang immediately ordered some medicinal materials to be packed to see her.
As soon as he left the second door, Princess Rongyang saw a dark blue figure heading towards Prince Yan's study. Princess Rongyang was familiar with that figure, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Walking to the door, Princess Rongyang casually asked the concierge: "Who just entered the mansion?"
"It's His Royal Highness King Qin."
King Qin? What is he here for? Princess Rongyang felt a little strange.
But with Su Yan in her heart, she hurried away in the sedan chair without thinking much about it.
After receiving the news of King Qin's visit, Prince Yan was there, and ordered the young servant: "Go and make tea first, and use the gold melon tribute tea from Yunnan."
When Princess Rongyang arrived at Xiwuyuan, he saw a group of Taoist priests doing religious rituals in the courtyard. The maid helped the old lady to stand aside, and the old lady kept praying with her hands folded.
Princess Rongyang bypassed the place where the ceremony was performed, and entered Su Yan's room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhong Ning squatting at the door and staring at the Taoist priest who was performing the ceremony.
Princess Rongyang asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhong Ning just stood up, and said very dissatisfied with Princess Rongyang: "My mother said that my senior sister lost her soul and asked the old lady to find a Taoist priest to do it, but look at the people she found. It's a liar, I saw it a lot when I was in the rivers and lakes, it's useless."
As soon as Zhong Ning finished speaking, the Taoist priest outside suddenly yelled, then muttered something in his mouth, and suddenly threw out a lot of glutinous rice, so as to hit the Taoist boy who was standing beside him.
Zhong Ning covered her eyes in distress, unable to bear to look directly.
Princess Rongyang moved her eyes away, and first entered the room to take a look at Su Yan, seeing that her face was flushed, Princess Rongyang stretched out her hand to test the temperature on Su Yan's forehead, it was terribly hot.
Princess Rongyang asked Zhong Ning worriedly: "Didn't you say you were caught in the wind and cold? How did it burn like this?"
Zhong Ning followed in, quite distressed: "Eating antipyretic medicine is useless. My mother came to see and said that the senior sister lost her soul. Anyway, I don't believe it, but I don't know exactly what happened. The high fever can't go down, it's really worrying."
"That can't be allowed to go on like this, it will burn out." Princess Rongyang suggested: "Why don't you invite two eminent monks?"
Zhong Ning has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has seen many fake monks and Taoist priests bluffing and deceiving, so in her heart, monks and Taoist priests are all liars. At this time, she didn't respond to Princess Rongyang's words, but said: "How about Let’s go to the palace and invite some imperial physicians to have a look.”
Princess Rongyang looked at Zhong Ning in surprise: "Didn't you always look down on the imperial doctor in the palace?"
Zhong Ning had a bitter face: "A dead horse is treated as a live horse doctor. What if someone who is blind can cure a dead mouse? If anyone can cure my senior sister, I will apologize to them."
Listening to Zhong Ning's metaphor, Princess Rongyang was speechless. This is a dead horse and a dead mouse, guessing that even Su Yan is a good person, Zhong Ning will faint with anger.
However, Zhong Ning's proposal also made sense. Princess Rongyang immediately sent people into the palace, but waited for the imperial physician to come, but waited for Chu Yan to come first.
Originally, Chu Yan never heard of Su Yan contracting a cold in the palace. It was because he heard that Princess Rongyang had sent someone into the palace to invite an imperial physician. Chu Yan thought that Prince Yan or the concubine was ill, so he took it upon himself to ask Lian Xin to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, what Lian Xin inquired about was that Su Yan fell ill!
If Su Yan was sick, she would have gone to invite Mrs. Zhong immediately, but now that Princess Rongyang has sent people into the palace, it must not be a minor illness, so Chu Yan immediately asked for leave.
Chu Yan came in a hurry, and he was still out of breath when he arrived at the Xiwu Courtyard. Just like Princess Rongyang, Chu Yan bypassed the people who practiced things in wonder, and went directly into the house.
Su Yan's fair face in the past was now as red as if it had been boiled, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed because of discomfort, her pale lips kept opening and closing, and she spoke words that no one else could understand.
Chu Yan frowned, feeling distressed.
"What's going on here? When did it happen?"
Zhong Ning hugged Taosu and told Chu Yan the matter again.
Lost soul
If it was before, Chu Yan would definitely think that this was nonsense, but after the dream, Chu Yan also paid more attention to it, and asked Zhong Ning: "What happened yesterday? Everything is fine and small, just tell me everything. "
Liu Xiang was standing next to Su Yan, she and Cai Xia looked at each other, and secretly concealed the fact that Prince Qin came. After all, in their view, although there is nothing between Prince Qin and his own girl, such a thing , It's better not to let Shizi know.
After listening to what the two maids said, Chu Yan had no clue: "Is there anything else?"
Caixia was afraid that her daughter might have something to do with the King of Qin, so she thought about it and said, "There is one more thing, which is actually not a big deal. Yesterday, His Highness the King of Qin came to the mansion, and was entertained by the old lady. He ordered someone to bring something to the girl, saying it was a wedding gift, but the girl didn't even look at it, so she took it out and burned it."
"King Qin?" Chu Yan's eyes narrowed.
