Then, she heard the Marquis of Zhenguo’ s wife continue, “After Lord Shi took a look at Mingzhao, he said everything would be fine if he woke up. It was also because his life was at stake that I mentioned it. Brother Si drowned a while ago and it was also extremely dangerous. He only survived because he used the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill that Sister Yao made.”
She could mention the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill because the Song and Yu families were close friends. If the Yu Residence still had the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence would definitely be able to obtain it.
If it were anyone else’s family, they definitely wouldn’t have asked for this.
Yu Youyao was also a little surprised. She did not expect the Marquis’s wife to suddenly come to the Yu Residence to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance
The Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife said, “Lord Shi said that the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is made of Musk, Rhodiola, and Borneol. It has a miraculous effect on patients who have fainted and can’t take medicine. The fragrance connects to their meridians, clears their qi flow, and enters their hearts. It’s a very rare life-saving medicine. If Mingzhao can use the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, there might be a chance of survival.”
Yu Youyao lowered her eyes. Just a few days after saving Yu Shansi, she had given three Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pills to her grandmother!
At this point, the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife’s voice was no longer filled with pleading. “I know that it’s not easy to make the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. It’s very rare. I’m afraid there aren’t many in the Yu Residence. It’s only because of Sister Yao’s filial piety that she’s bothered to make it to ensure your safety. It’s really inappropriate for me to take the liberty to visit you today to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill.” As she spoke, the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face. “But, Old Matriarch, Mingzhao is still so young. As his mother, how can I watch him… Please pity me, pity me as his mother…”
“Daughter-in-law Xiu Qi, what are you doing? Get up quickly.” Old Madam Yu was shocked. She quickly bent down and helped the Marquis’s wife up. She said angrily, “Don’t be pretentious. One moment, you’re crying, and the next, you’re kneeling. Since the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill can save Mingzhao’s life, why didn’t you say so earlier? No matter how precious and rare the Musk
Medicinal Fragrance Pill is, it can’t be more important than Mingzhao’s life. Are you muddle-headed from anxiety?!
The Marquis’s wife was also stunned.
She also knew that with the relationship between the Song and Yu families, as long as the Yu Residence still had the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, they were willing to take it out.
However, her son had been unconscious for three days and three nights, and bad news kept coming out.
She was really afraid and desperate.
Now that she knew that her son still had a chance of survival, even if she threw away her face, she would definitely ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill to save her son’s life.
What was kneeling?
She was even willing to die!
Old Madam Yu quickly instructed Nanny Liu, “Hurry up and get the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill from my room.”
Nanny Liu quickly entered the house.
After hearing Old Madam Yu’s words, the Marquis’s wife finally heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down a little. Only then did she realize that Yu Youyao had already helped her to a chair and handed her a cup of tea.
After crying for a while, the Marquis’s wife felt thirsty, so she took the tea and drank it.
The temperature of the tea was just right. It was neither cold nor hot.
After drinking a cup of tea, the Marquis’s wife felt much better. She finally understood why Old Madam always said that Yu Youyao was considerate.
Yu Youyao handed her another bowl of lotus seed soup. “I think Auntie came over before she had time to eat breakfast. This is the fresh lotus seed soup picked from the lotus lake at home. Have some to fill your stomach. When you get home, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to eat when you’re busy.”
Her voice was gentle and filled with concern, causing the Marquis’s wife’s anxious heart to calm down. “Okay, good child!”
She took the lotus seed soup and drank it.
Even though she had no appetite, she forced herself to swallow it.
Mingzhao was still unconscious and couldn’t do without her, his mother, to take care of him. Old Madam’s health wasn’t good either, and the other houses in the residence were all alert, waiting to see the first house make a fool of themselves.
She couldn’t fall.
Soon, Nanny Xu returned to the hall with the palm-sized box.
Old Madam Yu personally took the box and stood up from her chair. “Daughter-in-law Xiu Qi, the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is here. Yao Yao and I will go to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence with you. We can take care of each other.”
The Marquis’s wife was extremely grateful. “Thank you!’
They finally arrived at the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.
As soon as they got out of the carriage, the Marquis’s wife immediately helped Old Madam Yu to the Jiuzhao Pavilion.
Yu Youyao followed behind.
The Jiuzhao Pavilion where Song Mingzhao lived was the best place in the residence that the old Marquis of Zhenguo had chosen. It had been built by a lot of people and occupied an area about the size of the Jade Courtyard. There was a lake and a man-made mountain inside.
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was a large courtyard with five entrances. Song Mingzhao alone occupied one-fifth of the courtyard.
Yu Youyao did not dream about the Jiuzhao Pavilion in her nightmare.
After walking along the corridor for a while, they finally arrived at Song Mingzhao’s room.
It wasn’t appropriate for Yu Youyao to enter the inner room.
However, Old Madam Yu said, “You made the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. You know best how to use it. Go in and take a look.”
She had specially asked Yao Yao to follow her because she had this intention.
Human lives were at stake, and there was no room for negligence.
Yu Youyao wanted to say that she could just put the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill into the incense cauldron and burn it. However, when she looked up, she saw the Marquis’s wife looking at her expectantly, so she nodded.
Actually, just as Yu Youyao had seen with her own eyes that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence also had a “Frost Residence.” She no longer only wanted to not get involved with Song Mingzhao.
Instead, she wanted to keep a respectful distance!
Whether the nightmare was real or not, she believed that everything in the world had a cause and effect.
Being with Song Mingzhao would not lead to any good outcome.
She could refuse her grandmother, but she couldn’t refuse a mother in despair.
She was a pitiful mother.
As soon as she entered the inner room, Yu Youyao smelled an unpleasant medicinal bitterness mixed with a faint and lingering smell of blood.
Old Madam Yu hurriedly went to the bed and saw Song Mingzhao lying on the bed with a pale face. He did not look like a living person.
Yu Youyao followed behind and couldn’t help but jump in shock. She was about to leave the bed when…
For some reason, Song Mingzhao, who was lying on the bed like a dead man, suddenly felt like he had a stroke and his entire body was convulsing.
There was a gurgling sound from his throat, and his ashen face was almost distorted. He seemed to be in great pain.
Suddenly—
Song Mingzhao clutched his chest tightly and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
“Ah—” The scene in front of her scared Yu Youyao. She let out a low cry and thought of the incomplete dreams in her nightmare.
The older Yao Yao had grown up soaking in the medicinal dew of the Xie family.
It was unknown what kind of fate Divine Physician Xie had with the Xie Residence, but he actually knew that the medicinal dew of the Xie Residence was a witchcraft medicine that had been passed down for a thousand years. It was used all year round and had the effect of strengthening the body and extending one’s lifespan..
