All Hail Cousin Brother Novel - Chapter 319
319 Cousin Is Here
If First Madam had really caused trouble, Fourth Young Master would probably be dead by now.
After 30 minutes and the moxibustion of more than ten acupuncture points, Yu Shansi’s face was already red and moist. His breathing was long, and even his limbs were warm.
He was really fine.
Only then did the Yu Residence invite Imperial Physician Shi over.
!!
Yang Shuwan perked up and quickly rushed to the door. “Imperial Physician, Brother Si has drowned. Take a closer look…”
Although Brother Si was fine, she still couldn’t feel at ease without seeing the imperial physician.
She kept feeling that Yu Youyao was up to no good.
After the commotion just now, her clothes were messy and wrinkled. Her hair was messy, and the hairpin on her bun was crooked. Her makeup was also a mess.
The old imperial physician suddenly thought that there was a crazy woman from somewhere. He was shocked. When he reacted, he quickly entered the house and smelled a warm medicinal fragrance.
The old imperial physician sniffed hard a few times before moving closer to the table. Facing the incense burner, he sniffed hard. “Musk, Rhodiola, Borneol…” As soon as he opened his mouth, he recited more than 30 medicinal herbs. Every medicinal herb was an expensive herb and spice. “There are also six medicinal herbs. No, not just six. There are at least a dozen other medicinal herbs…”
After the old imperial physician entered the house, he was not in a hurry to take Si’er’s pulse. Instead, he went to the incense burner and commented on the medicinal fragrance inside. Yang Shuwan tightened her handkerchief anxiously.
She had originally wanted the old imperial physician to check on Si’er first.
However, when she thought about how Yu Youyao had burnt this musk medicinal fragrance pill, she didn’t know if it was harmful to Brother Si, so she endured it and changed her words. “Is there anything wrong with this incense pill?”
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Yu’s expression darkened.
The other servants in the room also looked at each other.
What did First Madam mean?
The Musk Medicinal Pill had saved Fourth Young Master’s life. How could there be anything wrong?
First Madam usually pretended to be a kind mother, but today, she had really revealed her true colors. She was really filled with malice towards Eldest Miss and did not have any kindness.
On the other hand, although Eldest Miss was usually not close to First Madam, she still respected her very much.
The old imperial physician suddenly glared at Yang Shuwan. “You don’t understand. What nonsense are you talking about? As soon as I entered this room and smelled this medicinal fragrance, I knew that your son’s life was saved.”
Therefore, there was no hurry!
Yang Shuwan was stunned.
“I’ve heard in the palace that this is a Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. This incense pill uses hundreds of medicinal herbs, spices, and flowers. It’s very complicated to make. As many medicinal herbs are rare and precious, it’s not easy to get a single incense pill. Even the Empress Dowager in the palace only has three. Your family’s one was originally prepared for Old Madam!”
At this moment, even Old Madam Yu was moved. She couldn’t help but look at her granddaughter.
Yu Youyao nodded. “I happened to obtain a few rare medicinal herbs for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, so I made the incense pill and prepared to give it to Grandmother in a few days.”
The reason why the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill was precious was mainly because the medicinal herbs were difficult to find. It was not as complicated as the rumors said.
She had indeed lacked a few medicinal herbs previously. It was also because her cousin was resourceful and had gotten them for her. She did not make it alone.
However, there was no need to tell anyone about this.
Perhaps because of the nightmare, she was very enthusiastic about making all kinds of life-saving medicine. Her cousin had even found many prescriptions for her.
For example, even Nanny Xu did not have the recipe for this Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. She had obtained it from her cousin.
Imperial Physician Shi looked at Yu Youyao and couldn’t help but nod. “Little child, you’re a magnanimous person.”
With that, he went to the bed to check on Yu Shansi.
Yu Youyao finally heaved a sigh of relief. She felt like she was about to collapse. She casually took a handkerchief and wiped her sweat.
The weather was already hot today. After an hour, Yu Youyao came back to her senses and suddenly realized that she was sweating a lot. The clothes on her back were completely drenched and stuck to her back. It was originally a hot day, but she felt cold and wet for no reason.
It was also extremely uncomfortable!
After wiping her sweat, Yu Youyao looked at the blue handkerchief in her hand and turned around—
At some point, her cousin had also come over and was sitting beside her.
Zhou Linghuai handed her a cup of tea. “Have some water!”
Yu Youyao was sweating profusely. Just as she was feeling thirsty, she foolishly took the teacup. Without caring if it was hot or not, she couldn’t wait to put it into her mouth.
The truth was that the tea was still warm, neither hot nor cold.
After drinking a cup of water, Yu Youyao was still not thirsty. She obediently handed the teacup to her cousin and looked at him eagerly. “I want more.”
Zhou Linghuai was already prepared and handed her another glass. “Drink slowly. Be careful not to choke.”
After drinking two glasses of water in a row, Yu Youyao felt a little better. “Cousin, why are you here?”
Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips and said, “I came to take a look.”
He was also worried that if anything happened to Yu Shansi, the little girl wouldn’t be able to handle it if Yang Shuwan made a fuss.
However, he had underestimated her.
When the little girl was angry, she even dared to splash tea on her stepmother’s face, suppressing the scene. Yang Shuwan probably wouldn’t be able to do anything in front of her.
Yu Youyao smiled. “Cousin, I’m fine.”
How could she be fine? Yu Shansi had been saved, but what about what happened after that?
It was a matter of a child’s life, so it was impossible to let it go so easily. When the imperial physician left the residence, Yang Shuwan would still make a fuss, and it would probably be difficult to explain to her father.
In a while, there was still a tough battle to fight.
Although the little girl said that she was fine, the fatigue in her eyes did not lie. Zhou Linghuai stroked her head. “Don’t worry, Cousin is here.”
Yu Youyao nodded and asked the old imperial physician, “Cousin, do you recognize this imperial physician?”
Her cousin lived in seclusion at home every day, but he knew everyone in the court. She had never suspected that her cousin did not recognize this old imperial physician.
Zhou Linghuai took a look at the old man who was stroking his white beard and said calmly, “It’s the previous Imperial Physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Lord Shi. As he was old, he was given an honorable position to retire. However, his medical skills are brilliant, and he’s very important to the nobles in the palace. The Emperor has allowed him to stay in the capital. The imperial physician that the main courtyard was going to hire today happened to be on duty in the palace, so I made the decision and got someone to bring your token over.”
Her cousin had used her name to invite the imperial physician over. Yu Youyao smiled. “Cousin, you’ve thought it through.”
Yu Shansi drowned. She had already arranged everything in the residence, but she had forgotten about everything outside the residence. She had also not expected that the imperial physician might not be invited, and she had forgotten to make other preparations.
