Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to quickly eat the last bite of breakfast. She then rinsed her mouth with the help of a palace maid. Only then did she say to the palace maid: "Help me tell imperial concubine mother that I will be going to her Highness the Empress' side."
The palace maid complied while helping her tidy up her clothes. Only then did she feel at ease and allow Feng Yu Heng to go with the eunuch.
In order to ensure that Feng Yu Heng would not be seen by others, the sedan had already been carried to Winter Moon Palace. When she exited her bedchamber, she got into the sedan and allowed the eunuch to carry her towards the Empress' central palace.
When she arrived, the Empress was accompanying Princess Xiang in a warm room in a side hall. Princess Xiang was so ill that she could no longer sit still. She needed a servant to support her. The Empress advised her: "Just lying down is fine. When Heng girl arrives, she will naturally take a look at your illness."
Princess Xiang was very stubborn and resolutely shook her head: "Many thanks imperial mother for being considerate. Daughter-in-law is seeing younger sister for the first time. It would not be good for me to be so ill that I cannot even sit still."
The Empress faintly sighed: "She is a doctor. How could she possibly be picky about her illness. Aren't you thinking too much?"
Princess Xiang continued to shake her head and remained seated.
Feng Yu Heng saw this situation and quickly walked over to the two. Kneeling, she said: "Heng Heng greets her Highness the Empress. Long live imperial concubine."
The Empress smiled and said: "Just as we were speaking, you arrived. Don't be so courteous. You may rise."
"Many thanks imperial concubine." Feng Yu Heng stood up and bowed to Princess Xiang: "Greetings to princess."
Princess Xiang looked at her, her gaze carrying a bit of scrutiny.
Feng Yu Heng did not avoid it, as she calmly met her gaze. The two looked at each other for a long time before Princess Xiang was finally unable to endure. Exhausted, she gave up; however, she let out a sigh of relief and said: "You and your beautiful sister are different."
Feng Yu Heng understood that Chen Yu wanted to enter the Xiang Palace to become the official princess. It was impossible for this person, who had been bedridden for many years, to not know about it. Although she was a doctor that had come to treat her illness, she was still Feng Chen Yu's younger sister. It was inevitable that she would be scrutinized like this.
She smiled and took half a step forward to personally help Princess Xiang up: "Your Majesty has permitted me to call you Imperial Father, so Cheng Heng will not regard you as an outsider and will call you Third Sister-in-law. Third Sister-in-law, you should lie down first. Let's wait for Heng Zheng to check your pulse before we talk about other things. "
The Empress stood up from the bed and said, "It was the Emperor's idea to invite you into the palace. It was also the Emperor's idea to have Mr. Heng treat you. Just be at ease and allow her to take a look at you. Regardless of whether or not she can cure you, this is still his Majesty's attitude. "Only you can be Prince Xiang's official princess. Feng Chen Yu wanting to enter the Xiang Palace has no chance.
Princess Xiang was a smart person and naturally understood why the Emperor and Empress had gone through so much trouble. She hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law thanks Emperor Father and Mother Empress." Then she looked at Feng Yu Heng and her expression softened, "Thank you for the trouble, dimei."
She smiled and saw that she had finally laid down. Only then did she sit at the side of the bed. Holding her wrist, she carefully began to feel her pulse.
"Third sister-in-law, when you wake up in the morning, do your eyes and face show signs of severe edema? In the afternoon, your lower limbs will also show signs of edema, but after some rest, it will slow down or disappear. Do you feel tired and weak every day, easily sweating, urinating frequently, and even having blood in your urine. You also feel dizzy, short of breath and fluid in your chest and abdomen? "
Princess Xiang nodded, "All of the problems you mentioned are present." Thinking a little more, she added: "Heng Zheng is indeed a little more accurate than other doctors."
Feng Yu Heng put down her wrist and went to check her eyelids then said: "Third sister-in-law, open your mouth and stick out your tongue."
Princess Xiang did as she was told.
After Feng Yu Heng examined the tongue, she already had an understanding. Kidney disease, severe glomerular kidney disease, but whether it was primary or secondary, she had no way of determining.
This was considered a chronic disease. It would not immediately kill, but after a long time, it would cause disease. Anemia, heart failure, and other conditions would become more and more obvious. In the twenty-first century, it could be controlled with medicine, but in this era, it was a serious illness that required painstaking effort. After a few years, it would only end when the person's oil ran out. It was truly torturous.
"Third sister-in-law, have any elders in your maternal family contracted the same illness?" She had to understand the origin of Princess Xiang's illness because this illness was most likely inherited in the family. If this was ruled out, then it was possible that it was deliberately done by someone. Of course, the possibility of secondary glomerular kidney disease was also higher.
When Princess Xiang heard her question, she seriously thought about it and then shook her head, "No, my maternal family has always been healthy and healthy. They have never contracted a serious illness like mine."
Feng Yu Heng sighed in her heart. Like this, she could basically conclude that this illness was not groundless. It was most likely transformed from other illnesses. In addition, the level of medical treatment in this era was not high enough. Traditional Chinese medicine was slow to cure. If someone deliberately did something, it would be strange if the illness could be cured.
She carefully looked at Princess Xiang and saw that this person's face was pale, her lips were cracked, her eyes were lifeless, and her hair was a bit yellow. She clearly was not yet thirty years old, but she looked even older than the Empress.
"Third sister-in-law, listen to me. From now on, stop taking the medicine that you have taken before and do not continue to take it. I will personally make new medicine for you. There is no need for others to do it. " As she spoke, she looked at the Empress: "I wonder if it is convenient for third sister-in-law to stay here. Heng is afraid that if she returns to the Xiang Palace, all of her efforts will be wasted."
How could the Empress not understand the meaning behind these words. Since she stopped taking the medicine, it meant that the previous medicine was either useless or there was a problem. Now that she was not even allowed to return to the Xiang Palace, it could be seen what kind of life the Xiang Palace had lived in the past.
The Empress sighed and nodded her head: "This side hall was specially prepared for you. The Emperor has already ordered for Princess Xiang to recover in the palace before returning to the palace. Heng, don't return to the Winter Moon Palace. If you walk back and forth, it will be easy for others to see you. There is also a small warm room in the side hall. You can stay there for now. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded her head, "It is still the Empress who is considerate."
The Empress took a step forward and held Princess Xiang's hand, saying: "You can stay here at ease. This matter was agreed upon by your Imperial Father, so no one can say anything. Even if Ye'er wants to receive you, he will definitely not be able to enter my central palace. "
Princess Xiang gratefully wanted to get up, but she was stopped by the Empress: "Don't cause trouble. You and A-Heng can chat for now. This one will go and see if his Majesty has finished court. He needs to give a reply."
As the Empress spoke, she got up and left the warm room. Feng Yu Heng also waved her hand to dismiss the palace servants in the room. When there were only the two of them left in the warm room, she looked at Princess Xiang and faintly said: "Actually, third sister-in-law is well aware of how her illness became so serious, right?"
Princess Xiang was slightly startled, then she smiled bitterly: "Heng, why do you have to be so direct?"
"If I am not direct, I will not know if third sister-in-law wants to live or die." She was also helpless, "You have been controlled by the medicine for so long, but you have never thought of resisting?"
Princess Xiang propped herself up, and Feng Yu Heng placed a soft cushion behind her for her to lean on. She then heard Princess Xiang say: "How could I not resist. At the beginning, I believed it, but later on, not only was it not cured, it became more and more serious, and I began to have suspicions. There was once when I followed my personal servant and saw that she was very close to one of Xuan Tian Ye's guards, and all of my medicine was handled by her. At that time, I made a fuss about not taking any more medicine, and Xuan Tian Ye had that servant replaced. The new person was a granny from my maternal family. The doctor was also changed, and the medicine was also rewritten. Only then did I feel at ease. But my body is still not good. Even now, I find it difficult to walk. "
Sure enough.
Feng Yu Heng faintly sighed, "Everyone says that marrying into a marquis's residence is great. You will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life; however, who knows that if you are not careful, you will lose your life."
Princess Xiang held onto a glimmer of hope and asked her: "Can my illness be treated?" Thinking a little more, she frankly told her: "I don't want to die! When Xuan Tian Ye married me, he was the son that the Emperor disliked the most. It was my maternal family that did not disappoint and helped him make a few great contributions. Only then was he able to sit on the same throne as the other princes. But now that he is fully fledged, and my value has been completely squeezed dry. He wants to find someone new to serve as his next springboard. How could I allow him to succeed? "
Although she was ill, when the man that she once loved and now hated was mentioned, a fierce look appeared in Princess Xiang's eyes. A bit of radiance finally appeared on her listless face.
Feng Yu Heng liked people with this sort of temperament. They hated evil, but it was better than someone like Yao shi who would always endure. Some people were just shameless. The more you endured them, the more they would change. Feng Jin Yuan was like this, and now it seemed that the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, was not much better.
"Third sister-in-law, don't worry." She reassured Princess Xiang, "Your treatment has been treated by Princess Heng, but I did not make any preparations today. Third sister-in-law, rest here for now and allow Princess Heng to make some preparations. I will be able to treat your illness tomorrow."
"If that's the case, then many thanks younger sister." Princess Xiang smiled, and the fierce look on her face disappeared, as she began to feel tired once more.
Feng Yu Heng pondered a little then reached into her sleeve and pulled out a Western medicine from her space. She personally poured a bowl of water for Princess Xiang to take before saying: "Rest. I will be in the warm room to the side. Remember, aside from me, don't take any medicine that anyone else gives you. I will eat lunch with you later. Although this is the imperial palace, it's hard to say which palace servant has been bribed by his Highness the third prince. Not to hide it from third sister-in-law, but the granny that came from your maternal family might also be one of his Highness the third prince's people. "
After Feng Yu Heng finished speaking, she did not continue to stay and left.
In truth, she did not need to make any preparations. All of the medicine and equipment were in her space, but she needed to find a reasonable source for these medicines. Thinking long and hard, she decided to ask the Empress to arrange for her to go to the imperial physicians' hospital. She only needed to stay there for a few hours.
Her request was naturally agreed to by the Empress, thus Feng Yu Heng spent the entire day holed up in the pharmacy of the imperial physicians' hospital. She only returned in the evening.
When she returned, she had an extra bamboo basket in her hand. Inside the basket were the medicines and injections that she had found in her space.
Three days later, the Feng family's carriages arrived at the gates of the capital. The drivers of the carriages let out a collective sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally finished a long journey. They were truly afraid that another incident with Bu Cong would occur. If they ran into someone with an even worse temper, perhaps it would be difficult to protect their lives.
The people of the Feng family and the drivers were also in the same mood. Feng Jin Yuan was the first to lift the curtain and look in the direction of the gates. Only when he saw a familiar scene did his heart finally calm down.
Along the way, An shi had brought Xiang Rong to sit in the same carriage as Yao shi. At this time, Yao shi was nervously holding An shi's hand and asking her: "Say, do you think Heng Zheng will be at home?"
An shi shook her head, "She shouldn't be. Since His Ninth Highness brought her back, he would not return her to the Feng family so easily. If the Feng family wants to bring the second young miss back, I fear that they will need to pay a bit of a price. "
As the two spoke, it was at this time that the sound of a zither suddenly entered their ears. The tone was mournful, and it was very clear that it was a funeral song. Following this was the sound of a young woman singing. Following this, the words that came out were: "Lord Feng, please return the second young miss's life!"
