Chapter 90: Match-making: You Must Have Made a Mistake
“Imperial Consort!” Elderly Lady Zhou looked at Imperial Consort Xi with distress.
“Go!” Imperial Consort Xi commanded fiercely.
“Yes.”
Elderly Lady Zhou was aware that, ever since the Imperial Consort Xi had fallen ill, she hated it when others wept uncontrollably. She wiped away her tears and returned to her usual state, capable and efficient. Then, she stepped out and called for Eldest Miss Ye.
“Eldest Miss Ye, the Imperial Consort Xi wishes to see you. Please don’t say anything about the child for now,” Elderly Lady Zhou pleaded in a low voice.
“Okay, I understand.”
Ye Jiuge was not a talkative person. She would not speak unnecessarily unless there were a need to do so. When Ye Jiuge entered the house, Imperial Consort Xi’s attitude toward her was much more courteous than before. Not only did she cooperate earnestly, but she also instructed Elderly Lady Zhou to write down anything that would require precaution. She was as earnest as a scholar preparing for the preliminary round of imperial examinations.
“Imperial Consort, first, please take this medicine. After the clotted blood has been drained from your body, we will continue with the next stage of detoxification.”
Ye Jiuge had thought about it carefully before writing out a prescription that could activate blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis and act as a tonic. She indicated that the medicine must be decocted before the Imperial Consort could consume it. Although a pill would expel her poison quickly, the effect would be too potent. As such, the first few doses had to be decocted.
