Chapter 255 Returning to Anshun
"Hey, a doctor can't heal himself, you'd better go see a doctor!"
King Qi appeared to be concerned, but in reality, he wanted to find someone to confirm whether Yang Jianwu was faking her illness.
Yang Jianwu saw through it but didn't say anything, and instead curtsied in response.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Qi."
After the meal, King Qi brought a doctor to examine Yang Jianwu's pulse. Yang Jianwu cooperated throughout the process, occasionally covering her lips with a handkerchief and coughing lightly.
The doctor was a personal physician brought by the King of Qi from his palace; he was absolutely loyal and possessed superb medical skills.
After examining Yang Jianwu, he simply told her to get plenty of rest and then hurriedly led the Prince of Qi out of the room.
The King of Qi noticed the doctor's nervousness. "What's wrong with Miss Yang?"
The doctor was frightened; despite it being the dead of winter, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Your Highness, Miss Yang doesn't have a cold, she has tuberculosis, which is contagious!"
"what?!"
King Qi never imagined that Yang Jianwu would contract tuberculosis!
"She was perfectly fine when I picked her up this morning. Could you have made a mistake in your diagnosis?"
"Your Highness, I am the physician of the Prince's residence. I have served the Prince's residence for many years and have always done my best. I am confident in my abilities. I can guarantee with my life that there will be absolutely no mistake!"
King Qi was somewhat relieved.
Tuberculosis can be fatal, and it's contagious! Luckily, I didn't have too much contact with her today...
Seeing that the Prince of Qi had not given any orders on how to settle Yang Jianwu, the doctor whispered a suggestion from the side: "Your Highness, why don't we send Miss Yang back tomorrow under the pretext of recuperating?"
King Qi was somewhat reluctant, but compared to his future, life had to come first! Without life, everything else was just fleeting smoke!
King Qi closed his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
"it is good……"
After a few pauses, he said, "Go and cook some herbal soup for Miss Yang and bring it to her room!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Just as the doctor was about to leave, King Qi casually reminded him from behind.
"The guards who escorted Miss Yang home tomorrow should not return to the Prince Qi's residence!"
The doctor understood immediately, bowed, and withdrew.
Yang Jianwu stroked the teacup on the table, slowly planning her next move. At that moment, besides Yang Jianwu, one of her maids also entered the operating room.
If Yang Jianwu's route is not feasible, then we can start with her maid! Elevating a maid to the status of a concubine is a way of giving the General's Mansion enough face!
At night, coughing could be heard from Yang Jianwu's room from time to time, which further confirmed the doctor's diagnosis.
As dawn broke, the team began to pack up and set off.
With Mu Jin's help, Yang Jianwu walked toward the carriage, her body so weak that she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
If King Qi felt it was a pity the night before, now, glancing at Yang Jianwu's expression, he wished he could send her away as soon as possible.
After Yang Jianwu boarded the carriage, Prince Qi rode up to the carriage and said, “Miss Yang, I see that you are not feeling well. Why don’t you have your guards take you home to rest first? When spring comes, I will invite you to stay at the Prince Qi’s residence for a while to express my and my wife’s gratitude.”
Just as Yang Jianwu was about to lift the curtain, the King of Qi quickly stopped her, as he did not want to be infected.
"Miss Yang, it's chilly outside, please don't lift the curtain!"
Yang Jianwu paused in her act of lifting the curtain, withdrew her hand, and tried to speak in a low voice.
"I apologize for my rudeness. I feel bad for troubling Your Highness again in the spring; it would be too much of a hardship for me... I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor last night, and my body can still manage..."
"It's alright, Miss Yang, please don't be so polite! It's important to get well soon. The General and his wife are worried about you. You've only been gone for a day, and you're already feeling unwell. If it had been any longer, they would have blamed me!"
Fearing that Yang Jianwu might politely decline again, King Qi made his decision before she could say anything.
"Therefore, Miss Yang, I will send someone to take you home first. We can discuss the rest after you have recovered!"
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness, Prince Qi..."
"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to be able to go to such lengths for Miss Yang!"
As he spoke, the King of Qi gave a wink to the guard beside him, who then drove the carriage toward Anshun.
Yang Jianwu almost burst out laughing inside the carriage, but had to cover her mouth to hold it in!
I need to give myself a couple of days off when I get back; it's been so hard to hold back my laughter for so long!
Luo Li shook her head helplessly beside her, "Miss, you're even faking illness to achieve your goal. Aren't you afraid you'll actually get sick later!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Mu Jin spat a few times beside him. "Luo Li's mouth is so foul, no wonder he hasn't found a wife yet!"
"I don't want Miss to fake being sick!"
"Miss is perfectly healthy! Please stop talking about being sick!"
"Okay, okay, I shut up."
Following the principle that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, Luo Li nestled in a corner of the carriage and read a book.
Yang Jianwu loved watching Luo Li argue with the maids around him, and she was always the one who got hurt.
Mu Jin's mouth isn't as sharp as Zi Ping's or Song Yin's; she shuts up quickly after a while, which is boring!
"I'm going to take a nap, don't bother me."
"Okay, miss."
Yang Jianwu entered the space with his divine sense; such precious time shouldn't be wasted in the carriage.
