The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 244 Passing Chapter

If they hadn't seen that she was getting weaker and weaker and worried that she wouldn't live for many years, the elders in the palace would not have let her leave the palace and let her return to the palace to live.

The last time they went boating on the lake, the princess also fulfilled a wish, saying that she would die without knowing what it was like to go out for fun.

Nanny Chen was very sad after hearing these words, but she didn't dare to cry in front of the princess. She could only turn her back and wipe her tears.

Such a beautiful girl, born in a wealthy family, should have married, had children, and lived a life of wealth and luxury. But things did not go as she wished. At such a young age, she had to face the threat of death at any time. How can people bear this!

So, she arranged to invite famous doctors in the capital to treat the princess. The imperial doctors in the palace had been treating her for so many years but had not been able to find any cure. In that case, she decided to try other doctors. She didn't believe that there were no other good doctors besides the imperial doctors!

As expected, this Doctor Qian was a man of substance. Nanny Chen couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"The princess is not actually ill, she is just weak. If she takes good care of herself, the so-called illness will naturally heal without medicine. It is better not to take the medicine!"

Doctor Qian made another shocking statement.

In her opinion, this princess was taken care of too meticulously and carefully. She was born with a deficiency, and was trapped in the house all day without moving. Her blood circulation was blocked, and she was fed many bitter medicines year after year, which ruined her appetite. Now her body was like a rotten wood.

If you want to get better, you must first get your body moving, so that your Qi and blood can start flowing smoothly, and then you can talk about other things.

Therefore, Dr. Qian advocated exercise therapy and suggested stopping the previous medications, doing Ba Duan Jin in the morning and evening, taking a medicinal bath at night, and changing the daily diet to nourishing medicated food. The prescription she prescribed was also a recipe for medicinal bath. As for oral medication, there was none at all!

Doctor Qian's words left both the princess and Nanny Chen silent.

In the past, although the imperial physicians in the palace always used almost the same prescriptions, they simply added or subtracted one of the herbs, but at least they all prescribed the medicine, and no one said that the princess didn't actually need to take the medicine!

Doctor Qian is so bold. If we do as she says, wouldn't that overturn all the previous diagnoses of the imperial doctors? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the imperial doctors? If something happens to the princess again and she asks the imperial doctors to come to her house again, how should we tell them?

Doctor Qian and Qin Ruozhi said goodbye to Prince An's Mansion. On the way back, Qin Ruozhi asked worriedly, "Master, do you think the princess will adopt your advice?"

She naturally believed her master and thought what she said made sense, but she was also afraid that the princess would really do it. If there were any risks involved, her master would be guilty!

Doctor Qian sighed, "I don't know about that. Medicine can't cure fatal diseases. There is no medicine to cure fatal diseases. I only know that if the princess continues to drink those medicines every day like before instead of thinking of other ways, her body may not last more than two years!"

Anyway, she has told me the specific method and left behind the recipe for medicinal food. It depends on her whether you follow it or not.

In fact, the doctors in the palace also came to the same conclusion. They said that no matter how hard they took care of the princess, her body would not last too long.

It might take three or two years at most for her to survive. It was for this reason that the Queen Mother allowed her to leave the palace and return to the prince's mansion, fulfilling her wish as she didn't want her child to be uneasy in the end.

Nanny Chen looked at her princess's expression and said, "What Doctor Qian said may not be right. There are still several famous doctors who haven't come yet. It won't be too late to make a decision after they have all come to see her!"

Princess Fuyou smiled and nodded: "Well, I'll listen to you, Madam. I'm a little tired and need to sleep for a while. Madam, you don't have to stay by my side. Go and have a rest!"

After saying that, she felt a little unable to hold on and wanted to lie down.

Her body was so weak that just getting out of bed, washing, dressing and changing clothes every day to see the doctor was a burden for her.

Nanny Chen watched her lie down, tucked in the corner of the quilt for her, and told someone to wait by her side in case the princess wanted to drink water or get out of bed so that she could serve her conveniently.

Suisui was very surprised to receive several exquisite items as thank-you gifts from Prince An's Mansion. However, she was not a stingy person. Thinking that her brother was scolded for this, she took out the gifts and asked him to pick two.

Changfu was not happy at first, thinking that since it was a toy that little girls liked, how could it be suitable for him?

But Suisui felt bad and insisted that he choose first, so he arbitrarily picked a green jade fan pendant that looked pretty good to make up the number, and the little girl was happy then.

A long time had passed since the pulse diagnosis at Prince An's Mansion. It was almost August and the Liu family had already begun sending Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to various families. However, they suddenly received a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Prince An's Mansion at this time.

Qin Ruozhi reported this to Chen Cui, and neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law could guess what the other meant.

Could it be that they adopted Doctor Qian's method and the princess's health improved, so they sent a festival gift, or was it just because they had contact when they saved someone last time, so they just did it this time?

However, no matter what the other party means, they must respond carefully.

Qin Ruozhi carefully prepared a similar gift list and showed it to Chen Cui for review, asking her if it was feasible. Chen Cui took a symbolic look at it and then handed it over to her daughter-in-law to decide.

After all, she was not a native ancient person. Even if her son had achieved fame and had experienced a lot of interpersonal relationships, he could not compare with a lady from a noble family like Qin Ruozhi who had been trained as a lady since childhood. Therefore, in such matters, she would not make decisions on her own, but let more experienced people make the decision.

Zhang Hongjuan's belly is already very big, and she will give birth in less than a month, so she wants to go back to her parents' home before the Mid-Autumn Festival to avoid being confined to her parents' home for a long time after giving birth.

Chen Cui naturally had no objection. Instead, she suggested that the eldest daughter-in-law go back to her parents' home to relax, and that both sons take their wives to visit relatives at their parents' home and bring the children along as well.

The two daughters-in-law were very grateful to Chen Cui for her understanding. On weekdays, the mother-in-law did not restrict them and let them go out freely, not to mention that she was considerate of them and allowed them to visit her parents' home during such a major festival. It was really thoughtful.

In fact, Chen Cui simply felt a little embarrassed. Nowadays, after getting married, a woman has to bear children for her husband's family and work hard. The eldest daughter-in-law manages the house and the shop in order on weekdays, which saves her a lot of worries. If she can't go back to visit her parents often, it will be too inhumane!

Not to mention anything else, as the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion approaches, even she begins to miss the two elders of the Chen family who are far away in their hometown!
