The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 882

Chapter 882: Cold Air in the Body

Among the junior brothers, Xiao Yurong and Sang You were the closest. After all, the two of them were young and had the same preferences.

Although Sang You was born in an aristocratic family, he had no relatives in the capital. Therefore, it was better to cultivate the relationship with the senior brothers.

Of course, he knew the Crown Prince too. However, the Crown Prince was smart and had a high status. The sect brothers had to follow the etiquette when meeting with a ruler, so the relationship was naturally not very close.

Old Master Li wiped his hands and let the three of them sit down to talk.

“I’m afraid your Third Junior Brother won’t be able to make it.” Old Master Li sighed, “At the beginning, he was just a little uncomfortable. I thought it was just an ordinary typhoid fever. Who knew that this illness would never be cured? We have used all kinds of good medicine on him, but he doesn’t seem to be getting better. There are many good doctors in the Mengjiabao, but they’re also helpless. The doctor said that cold air has entered his body and his internal organs are dead.”

“Did Third Junior Brother go to an extremely cold place?” Zhao Xuanjing was also curious when he heard that.

The old master sighed. “In the past two years, I brought them around and indeed went to many places. We also went to extremely cold places… but at that time, we were wearing many clothes and our bodies didn’t come into direct contact with the frost. Moreover, that was already a year ago. It wouldn’t have taken so long for the illness to flare up, right?”

The old man could not figure this out no matter how hard he tried.

“Then, did anything special happen along the way?” Xie Qiao thought for a moment and asked.

He shook his head. “After Sang’er fell ill, this old man pondered over it all day long. All these days, I’ve thought about it many times, but I couldn’t find anything that could make him fall ill.”

Xie Qiao was silent for a while.

Her teacher had lived for more than a few decades, and he had been glorious for more than a few decades.

He had a photographic memory since he was young, so he must be telling the truth since he said that there were no dangers along the way.

“I have never heard of any weakness in Third Junior Brother’s body since he was young…” Xiao Yurong was also at a loss. “Teacher, where is Junior Brother now? I want to see him.”

“Did Your Highness bring the Imperial physician here?” Old Master Li asked Zhao Xuanjing first.

“Yes.” Zhao Xuanjing nodded.

After all, they were here to pick up the old man. Thinking that he was old, it would be safer to bring the imperial physician along.

“Okay, invite the imperial physician here immediately to see your junior brother.” Old Master Li was a little excited and made arrangements instantly.

When Zhou Weizong heard that, he quickly called for people to do it.

The things that they had brought were still temporarily placed on the carriage. After all, this place was not their own home. Old Master Li could stay there, but they could not do that since they had suddenly visited. Furthermore, in a while, they still had to pay their respects to the owner of this place.

If it was inconvenient, then they could rent a house nearby and bring their junior brother over to recuperate.

Not long after, the imperial physician came over respectfully.

Only then did Old Master Li bring him to the bedroom.

The door was tightly shut. After it was opened, a wave of heat hit them.

“He always says that he’s cold. There are several layers of blankets, but it’s useless. There are some charcoal braziers in the house to keep warm,” Old Master Li explained.

The courtyard was very quiet. There was only a servant waiting at the door.

“Where did No. 5 go?” Zhao Xuanjing took a look and asked.

“He went to the market. There are many merchants coming and going in Mengjiabao. Every day, some merchants bring rare goods from all over the world. No. 5 went to the medicine shop to have a look. If there were medicine to treat the cold, he could buy it in time. Unfortunately, he did buy a lot of medicine for the cold but he hasn’t found anything useful so far..”
