Chapter 748 Is She Allergic or Victimized?
The imperial physician came quickly. When the Nanny in charge came, she brought an imperial physician along. Many beauties were living in Chuxiu Palace, and accidents were p.r.o.ne to accidents in places with many people. In the past, something had always happened when beauties moved in.
The Imperial Inst.i.tute of Medicine had specially a.s.signed an imperial physician to this palace.
The Nanny in charge heard the news and immediately knew something was wrong, and immediately brought the imperial physician over. It was the lady of Duke Xing’s Mansion who had an accident. So the Nanny in charge was very fl.u.s.tered.
The ones who couldn’t afford to have an accident were the ladies of Duke Xing’s Mansion.
When she walked in and saw Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru standing by, she was secretly relieved. Fortunately, these two were fine; otherwise, she would certainly be punished, because she had been told to take good care of the two girls. After examining Shao Caihuan, the imperial physician frowned.
“Imperial physician, will…will I be all right?” Shao Caihuan looked at the imperial physician nervously for fear that he would say something bad.
“Well…” The imperial physician looked at the surroundings. “It seems to be an allergy, but if the allergen is not found… I’m afraid it won’t get better for a while!”
Any kind of allergy was caused by something. It was difficult to prescribe the right medicine when he didn’t know what had caused it. This was where the imperial physician found it difficult. Up to now, he had not found any allergens.
This house was very common. How could a beauty who had only lived here for a few days become allergic? The imperial physician’s gaze swept over several people present again, and he felt that it was more of a man-made disaster. He certainly didn’t dare to say it without evidence now, because the most feared thing in the palace was groundless accusations.
In addition to the lady lying on the bed whose looks were beyond recognition, there were also two young ladies. Seeing the faces of these two, the imperial physician was amazed.
He had seen various beautiful women in the palace, but he had never seen anyone as smart and outstanding as the two young ladies in front of him. Even if someone wanted to hurt the beauties, they should have chosen these two. The one on the bed was not as beautiful as either of them. Could it be that they had hurt the wrong person?
“Imperial physician, what should we do now?” the Nanny in charge frowned, looked at Shao Caihuan’s face, and carefully stepped back. “Isn’t this…contagious?”
When the Nanny in charge said so, everyone backed away and looked at Shao Caihuan in panic. Even the maid who had been standing next to Shao Caihuan stepped back nervously. No one wanted to catch this seemingly unknown disease. Shao Wanru’s gaze fell on Shao Yanru. Everyone else was stepping back while she was still standing by the bed with a look of concern.
“Imperial physician…is it…contagious?” Shao Caihuan asked in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes. She who should have been charming looked disgusting instead of pitiful at this time.
“You’d better go back home and take some medicine to recuperate slowly. As for the situation in the future, it depends on how well you’ll recover.” The imperial physician shook his head and said, “Was there any such situation before? Have you ever been allergic?”
“No, never!” Not only would she be sent back home, but the future situation was still unknown. Shao Caihuan couldn’t hold back her tears and said as she cried.
“Third Sister, did you eat or use anything different than others? If you didn’t, then think about other aspects. If there is something wrong, you can tell the imperial physician. He probably knows how to solve the problem.” Shao Wanru reminded her.
“Third sister, you go back home first, and our father and grandmother will definitely help you recover. Don’t worry!” Shao Yanru also comforted her with concern. Shao Caihuan had wanted to answer Shao Wanru’s question. After listening to Shao Yanru’s words, she immediately thought of her uncertain future and burst into tears. She was too distracted to think about Shao Wanru’s words.
“Imperial physician, my third sister keeps crying, will it be bad for her face?” Shao Wanru suddenly turned to the imperial physician and asked.
“Naturally it is not good.” The imperial physician nodded.
“Will it leave a scar on her face? She had been crying like this even before she takes any medicine!” Shao Wanru asked again.
Shao Caihuan on the bed stopped crying immediately and stared at the imperial physician nervously, but she did not dare to shed tears again.
“Naturally it’s not good to her face. Third Miss, you should not cry!” said the imperial physician.
Hearing what he said, Shao Caihuan didn’t dare to cry. She opened her eyes wide to stop her tears desperately.
“Third Sister, did you find anything unusual yesterday? We were new in the palace and didn’t know anything. You might have accidentally b.u.mped into something else and got allergic. Tell the imperial physician!” Shao Wanru urged again.
“Yes, Third Miss, why don’t you tell me if there is anything abnormal?” Without Shao Caihuan’s cry, the imperial physician heard Shan Wanru’s words clearly and nodded again and again. He was also helpless now. He didn’t know why she had suddenly developed an allergy. If it was an allergy, there must be an allergen. But the young lady had never had such a situation before.
It didn’t seem to have happened naturally.
“I… I don’t know…” Shao Caihuan couldn’t think of anything at this time, and only felt confused.
“Imperial physician, since my sister doesn’t know anything, you don’t have to ask her anymore.” Shao Yanru interrupted.
“Big Sister, Third Sister should think about if there was something wrong. If it is an allergy, she can’t become allergic for no reason. I also felt uncomfortable when I came here yesterday, but then I was all right after I went back. So if we can find the allergen, Third Sister will definitely recover soon!” Shao Wanru said.
“Yes… yes, that extra incense sheet… Miss w.a.n.g’s…” Before Shao Caihuan could react, her maid already exclaimed excitedly.
“What incense sheet?” the Nanny in charge asked urgently.
Being accidentally allergic was completely different from being framed.
“Yesterday, Miss w.a.n.g Yuxin came over, and her maid put a incense sheet in my incense burner. Fifth Sister stayed for a while and said that she felt not well, so she went back. When I found out later, I took it out!” Shao Caihuan also thought of this at this time and said in a hurry.
She had felt that something was going wrong last night, but it was about Shao Wanru, so she wasn’t very worried. She hadn’t expected it to happen to her today.
She eagerly stared at the imperial physician. The imperial physician pondered for a moment and asked, “Is the fragrant incense sheet still there?”
“Yes, go and get it!” Shao Caihuan hurriedly told her maid. After the maid brought the fragrant incense sheet over, the imperial physician took it and smelled it, and frowned deeply.
“Imperial physician, is there anything wrong?” Shao Caihuan said eagerly.
Shao Wanru squinted at Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru didn’t look very good, but it was reasonable considering the current situation. Only Shao Wanru could see clearly that Shao Yanru had become more nervous now, and she sneered knowingly.
“Where did this fragrant incense sheet come from?” the Nanny in charge also noticed something wrong and asked.
“It belongs to w.a.n.g Yuxin, the daughter of the deputy director. She came over yesterday. Her maid secretly put this incense sheet in my incense burner. All the ladies present at the time can testify,” Shao Caihuan said angrily, turning her head to look at Shao Yanru, “Big Sister, you were there and you saw it too, didn’t you?”
Shao Wanru had already left at the time. Yujie was just a maid and her words could not prove anything. Among those who were present, only Shao Yanru could prove it.
Everyone turned their eyes to Shao Yanru, who lowered her head uncomfortably and looked a little at a loss.
“Miss Shao, please tell us what you saw!” the Nanny in charge asked with a darkened face.
“I… actually didn’t know it well. Third Sister’s maid said that she saw Miss w.a.n.g’s maid doing it!” Shao Yanru said in embarra.s.sment. This was very subtle. She neither confirmed nor denied it.
“Big Sister, though Miss w.a.n.g did not admit that it was her maid who did it, didn’t all other ladies agree to testify?” Shao Wanru raised her eyes and asked. In this room, she was the only one who had been paying close attention to the subtle changes in Shao Yanru’s expression.
Yesterday’s incident had happened after she left, but Yujie saw it clearly and reported it to her as soon as they went back. It was not surprising that Shao Wanru said so now.
“Yes…Yes, Big Sister, those young ladies were there, and you all said that you were willing to testify,” Shao Caihuan heard her say this and said immediately. She was now holding Shao Yanru tightly like a drowning person holding onto the driftwood, as if only Shao Yanru could prove what she said.
Her question was very difficult to answer. Whether confirmation or denial, it was easy to offend others and implicate herself. Shao Yanru was absolutely unwilling to implicate herself, so she didn’t want to answer this question. But others in the house were looking at her now and she had to answer Shao Caihuan’s question.
“As for this matter, I think we should wait for the other two young ladies to come together to make it clear.” Shao Yanru thought for a while.
“Go and invite other ladies over!” The Nanny in charge thought that the words made sense. She nodded, turned around, and ordered a court maid that was standing behind her.
The imperial physician selected some common allergy medicines for Shao Caihuan and asked her to apply the ointment first. The Nanny in charge and the imperial physician walked to the outhouse, and Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru stayed.
“Yujie, ask the imperial physician if it is contagious.” Shao Wanru whispered.
Yujie nodded and went out. Shao Yanru, who was sitting on Shao Caihuan’s bed with the ointment, paused, but then looked at Shao Caihuan calmly and said, “Third Sister, lie down and close your eyes. Be careful, I’ll help you to apply it!”
Shao Caihuan also heard what Shao Wanru told Yujie, and glanced at Shao Wanru angrily. She closed her eyes and was very angry with Shao Wanru. As expected, she was not a sister who had grown up with her in the mansion. Shao Wanru didn’t have much sisterhood for her. She had just talked about it just now, and now she asked it again. Was she so afraid that she might infect her?
She was really unlikable! No wonder no one in the whole mansion liked her.
She wondered why she had an incident instead of Shao Wanru. Obviously…
“Miss, the imperial physician said it should just be an allergy and it’s not contagious!” Yujie came back and whispered to Shao Wanru. The room was quiet and everyone heard it clearly.
Shao Caihuan opened her eyes again and glared at Shao Wanru. But the next moment, she turned around and glared at Shao Yanru…
