Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

In Fuyin Courtyard, Xiao Fengyi stood under the bright sun, undergoing Shen's scrutiny.

Madam Shen glanced sideways at the physician beside her and asked skeptically, "Are you sure he can cure my son?"

The rich fragrance of flowers lingered around everyone. Faced with Madam Shen's disdain and questioning, Xiao Fengyi, the person involved, said nothing. However, the physician of the manor was unwilling to hear his wife speak of the eldest daughter in this way.

The physician said to Madam Shen, "Madam, please don't jump to conclusions. Let the eldest young lady take the second young lady's pulse first, so as not to waste time!"

Madam Shen pursed her lips. Although she wasn't very happy, getting her daughter treated was more important and couldn't be delayed.

She raised her chin, looking at Xiao Fengyi with an arrogant air, and gestured, "You may go in?"

Despite the other party's arrogance, Xiao Fengyi didn't even glance at her and gracefully walked into the room.

Madam Shen felt that Xiao Fengyi was disrespecting her and wouldn't tolerate any slight, so she warned her fiercely, "Xiao Fengyi, if you can't cure her, I will punish you!"

Hearing this, the woman finally stopped and turned to the physician, saying, "Physician, I only agreed to come and see Qingyin because you treated my injuries last time, but I never said I would cure her. Auntie, aren't you being too absolute?"

Shen was just seeking medical treatment, and she thought she was the emperor, and that if she couldn't be cured, she would be punished?

Then let's just give up on treatment!

After Xiao Fengyi finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave Fuyin Courtyard.

The physician tried to stop her but couldn't, crying out, "Young Miss, don't go!"

Seeing her leave without looking back, Madam Shen finally panicked and said, "Fengyi, don't go. I was just being nosy."

After saying that, she unconsciously muttered to herself.

snort!

Let's be patient with her for a while, and settle the score after Qingyin is healed.

Xiao Fengyi had a temper and ignored Shen's calls, walking straight outside. It was only when the old lady arrived that she stopped her.

Upon seeing the old lady, she bowed and said, "Fengyi greets Grandmother. Why did you come to Fuyin Courtyard instead of resting in Changyi Courtyard?"

The old lady walked to Xiao Fengyi's side, but her eyes were fixed on the anxious Shen Shi. "Fengyi, after you left Changyi Courtyard, I was restless and afraid that the treatment was a pretense and a trap. I was afraid that you would be bullied."

"With Grandmother here, how could anyone frame me? That person is incredibly audacious!" Xiao Fengyi stepped forward to support her, not forgetting to reply.

The grandfather and grandson's words reached Shen's ears, and her face instantly turned embarrassed.

How could Madam Shen not understand that the old lady had run to Fuyin Courtyard because she was afraid that Xiao Fengyi would be bullied?

From her words, Madam Shen could tell that she didn't care about Xiao Qingyin's condition at all, which really angered her. Xiao Qingyin had been beaten unconscious by the old lady's dragon-headed cane!

This Xiao Fengyi actually joined in, trying to intimidate her?

Hmph, what an arrogant little girl.

For her daughter's sake, Madam Shen walked up to the grandmother and granddaughter and bowed, saying, "Mother, I really didn't expect you to come to see Qingyin."

"You've come to see Xiao Qingyin? You really want to save face?" The old lady didn't give Shen any face for her self-righteous and pretentious words. "I'm the one who hit her. She deserved it. Why would I come to see her?"

After the stern words, Madam Shen realized she had made a fool of herself and could only stand there blankly without saying a word.

The physician then said to Xiao Fengyi, "Miss, please don't be angry. Come with me to examine the Second Miss's condition."

As a physician, Xiao Fengyi also wanted to see what kind of illness had left even an experienced physician like the family doctor helpless. She immediately stopped being angry and said to the old lady, "Grandmother, I'll go take a look."

The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Go ahead."

Xiao Fengyi followed the physician into Xiao Qingyin's bedroom. Xiao Qishan stood beside the bed, looking extremely haggard.

Upon seeing his eldest daughter, Xiao Qishan became very serious again, "Let your younger sister see you."

He did not plead, nor did he give orders to Xiao Fengyi like Shen did. Instead, he moved aside and left the space in front of the bed for the two physicians, the royal physician and Xiao Fengyi.

Xiao Fengyi walked to the spot where Xiao Qishan had just stood, sat down, and took Xiao Qingyin's pulse.

After a while, she was able to diagnose the other person's pulse.

The physician beside her asked, "Young Miss, how is it? Is it as I said, with a persistent high fever and a weak pulse, caused by cold?"

Xiao Fengyi did not speak, but closed her eyes and recalled the chapter on typhoid fever in the "Ling Su Yao Shu" she had read the night before.

The typhoid fever chapter points out that the internal heat is not dissipated because the intestines and stomach cannot expel damp heat. As long as these residual toxins are expelled from the body, the disease can be cured to a large extent.

She opened her eyes and examined Xiao Qingyin's tongue coating. "The tongue is red, which means the toxins haven't been expelled yet."

With tears in his eyes, the physician said to Xiao Fengyi, "That's the reason. The several doses of medicine I prescribed for the Second Miss haven't helped at all."

Xiao Fengyi nodded, "She is currently unconscious and unable to excrete anything. The food she eats cannot be excreted, so the heat toxins cannot be released. Moreover, she doesn't seem to be sweating at all; her body is very clean."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Fengyi reached her slender hand into Xiao Qingyin's quilt and found it to be ice-cold.

This action caused Shen, who was standing behind, to clench her fingers tightly. "Be gentle, don't hurt Qingyin."

Xiao Fengyi's eyes were sharp. She didn't look at Shen Shi, but at the woman lying down. "I didn't pinch her. Don't wrong me!"

Madam Shen was somewhat embarrassed because Xiao Fengyi would directly confront her, and Xiao Qishan also chimed in with a few disparaging remarks about Madam Shen.

"You're an amateur. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Let the imperial physician and Fengyi treat the patient."

Madam Shen still didn't believe in Xiao Fengyi's medical skills, so she pulled Xiao Qishan aside and muttered, "Why don't we go to the Imperial Hospital and find a royal physician?"

Should we seek out the imperial physician?

Xiao Qishan was speechless at Shen's wild idea. "Imperial physicians treat nobles in the palace; they would never come to treat us. Although the Xiao family is a Duke's mansion, it is no longer a powerful family. How can we invite imperial physicians? Even when Mother was poisoned last time, the Emperor was not alarmed, let alone Qingyin?"

These words made Madam Shen want to cry even more. Did she mean that her daughter had to be watched by Xiao Fengyi, a little girl who only knew a little bit of knowledge?

Xiao Qishan comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Fengyi took care of Mother's health after she was poisoned, so she'll definitely be fine."

Madam Shen felt hopeless about Xiao Qishan's trust in Xiao Fengyi's medical skills, and knew that her husband was unreliable. She decided to find a way to hire some good doctors herself.

She immediately whispered to her maids, telling them to go find the Seventh Prince and see if he could find a way to summon the imperial physician.

Lady Shen had heard Xiao Qingyin say that the Seventh Prince had feelings for her and would definitely help her daughter. She even gave the handkerchief that the two had used as a token of their love to her maid to deepen the Seventh Prince's trust.
