Chapter 79 - Humiliation
The Duchess of En Guo nodded, "Then I will trouble Third Miss Nangong. In order to avoid suspicion, I won't keep the girl here." She said, she looked at Madam Shizi and said, "You send someone to send Third Miss Nangong back."
Madam Shizi responded quickly, "Yes."
"Then Yue Er will take her leave." Nangong Yue bowed to Duchess En Guo and was about to leave but she saw that Duchess En Guo’s face suddenly turned pale and showed a painful look.
"Madam ......" Nangong Yue was about to ask her if she felt uncomfortable, but she saw the other party's body wobble slightly twice, followed by a straight side collapse on the Luohan bed.
"Mother! Mother!" Mrs. Shizi went up nervously to check on the condition of the Duchess of En guo, and turned back to the outside of the compartment and shouted, "Someone, someone!"
Only to see Duchess Enguo was lying on her side on the rotunda and her face was as white as paper, her lips were slightly purple and her breathing was so faint that it was almost impossible to notice unless one looked closely.
The four maids hurried in from the outside, and when they saw Duchess of En Guo lying on Luohan's bed, their faces turned pale.
Madam Shizi was already sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Go and ask for an imperial doctor! Quick!"
"Yes, Mrs. Shizi!"
One of the maids hurried away, the two hurried to the bed of Luohan to stand by, and the other stayed outside the door waiting.
"Let her lie down."
In the chaos, Nangong Yue's voice seemed so calm and clear.
The two maids subconsciously obeyed Nangong Yue's instructions and made Duchess of En Guo lie on her back on the Arhat bed.
"You step back a little bit and give Madam some fresh air." Nangong Yue said as she opened a small cloth bag in her hand, and there were a dozen or so shiny silver needles in it.
"You ...... what are you doing?" Madam Shizi exclaimed in panic, but it was already too late to stop Nangong Yue, only to see her slender hand flying, but in the blink of an eye, she had already stabbed ten silver needles at various acupuncture points on the head of Duchess of En Guo, the speed was so fast that it almost formed a streak of shadow, and the gestures were incredibly graceful.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shi Zi was so frightened that she did not dare to touch Duchess of En Guo, lest she might accidentally injure her.
"You ...... dare! Don't be quick ......" She was already so panicked that she couldn't finish her sentence, just then, but she heard the Duchess of En Guo give a cry and her eyelashes twitched.
A little maid immediately shouted: "Madam is awake! Madam is awake!"
At these words, Mrs. Shizi's attention was immediately drawn to her, and she carefully approached the Duchess of En Guo, "Mother, how do you feel? My daughter-in-law has already sent someone to ask the Imperial Doctor!"
The Duchess of Enguo had opened her eyes completely, but they were still a little confused, as if she didn't know where she was. Her brow was furrowed in pain, and she raised her right hand as if to hold her forehead.
"Madam, please don't move." Nangong Yue hurriedly pressed her hand and instructed the two maids, "Carefully help Madam up."
When they saw that Nangong Yue had saved the Duchess of En Guo, the two maids naturally obeyed her orders and carefully lifted up the Duchess of En Guo, not daring to touch the silver needles on her head.
"Madam, do you remember what happened just now?" Nangong Yue asked, looking into her eyes.
At this point, the Duchess of Enguo's eyes became clear for a moment and said, not quite sure, "I ...... seem to be fainted?"
"That's right." Nangong Yue nodded, "Madam, please don't move, I'll help you remove the silver needles." Saying that, she raised her hand and just brushed half a circle around Duchess of En guo's head, and then removed those silver needles. This scene left Madam Shizi and the maids dumbfounded.
"Mother, you fainted just now, and it was Third Miss Nangong who rescued you." Madam Shizi hurriedly said again.
The Duchess of En Guo looked at Nangong Yue in surprise, not expecting her to have such medical skills at such a young age. "Third Miss Nangong, thank you so much."
"Madam, there is no need to be polite, this is what a doctor should do." Nangong Yue responded appropriately and then asked, "Is your ladyship suffering from a head ailment? Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she became the Third Prince's concubine, She had tried to make good contacts with the ladies of the court and ministers' houses, and had secretly gathered information about them in order to support Han Lingfu's great work. She remembered that the Duchess of En Guo had a very serious head ailment, and that all the Imperial physicians in the palace were at their wits' end.
If she can cure the Duchess of Enguo's persistent illness, then it is likely that she will get the chance to treat the Fifth Prince herself.
The Duchess of En Guo was stunned. Although word of her own head disease had spread around the household, it had not been publicised, which meant that Nangong Yue had been able to see it on her own?
Thinking of this, she had some confidence in Nangong Yue's medical skills on the one hand, and on the other hand, she had more and more expectations for Lin Jingchen, Nangong Yue's maternal grandfather. The granddaughter who had learned a little from him was already like this, let alone the man himself!
With a glimmer of hope in her eyes, she replied: " I have consulted the Imperial Physician, but unfortunately there was no relief."
Nangong Yue said softly: "Grandfather once taught me a set of head massage techniques, if Madam trusts me, can you let me try it?"
Thinking that she had even received a needle just now, what could she not try, Duchess of En Guo nodded her head: "Then I'll be grateful to Third Miss Nangong."
Nangong Yue walked behind the Duchess of Enguo and then began to massage the acupuncture points on her head. Her movements were extremely simple and clear, just a few presses on four or five acupuncture points on her head ......
In a short while, Duchess of En Guo felt relief from the headache that had plagued her for so long. She was amazed and asked excitedly, "Good boy, how did you do that?"
The acupuncture points that Nangong Yue had just massaged had also been pressed by her maids during the day, but they had never achieved such a miraculous effect.
Nangong Yue smiled and said, "Even if you are massaging head acupuncture points, the force is different and the time you press the points is different, the final effect may also be different. This is the massage technique taught by my grandfather, and the effect is much more significant than the ordinary massage.”
Duchess En Guo exclaimed: "Divine Doctor Lin is truly remarkable!"
"Yue Er thanks Your Ladyship for the compliments on behalf of her grandfather!" Nangong Yue continued to massage Duchess of En Guo,: "Although the massage is effective, once is not enough. If your ladyship agrees, I can teach this technique to your ladyship's maids, so that they can apply pressure to your ladyship's acupuncture points twice a day, morning and evening, and I believe the headache will gradually be relieved."
At this time, Duchess of En Guo was over her excitement and looked at the young Nangong Yue and had a few doubts in her heart. She had been suffering from a head ailment for more than ten years, and had seen numerous famous doctors who had failed to cure her. Although Nangong Yue is so young, she is lucky to have saved herself, but does she really have a cure for her headache?
Naturally, Nangong Yue understood that it was impossible for the Duchess En Guo to fully believe in her medical skills, but as long as she was willing to let herself try, that was enough. Therefore, when she finished teaching the two maids, she gave detailed instructions to Duchess En Guo: "Madam should pay attention to her daily schedule, never stay up too late and overwork, do not worry or strain your mind, do not get angry or upset ......"
Although the Duchess En Guo had a few doubts about Nangong Yue's medical skills, seeing Nangong Yue's seriousness in advising herself, she could not help but feel a little touched and had a few hints of expectation in her heart, maybe she could really cure it?
At this moment, a maid wearing a green robe hurriedly came up to report: "Madam, Madam Shizi, the imperial physician has already entered the second door, and will come here soon."
Although she is fine for the time being, the Duchess of En Guo is still planning to let the imperial physician take a look, so she said: "Xuzhao, you go to invite the imperial physician in, do not make a sound, so as not to disturb the guests today." In fact, she meant not to disturb the three Jiang Yixi sisters in the garden for the time being.
Madam Shizi was relieved to hear that. Her daughter was hosting a flower viewing party today, and it would have been unpleasant if the party had ended without a happy ending.
The things that needed to be done had already been done, and Nangong Yue did not want to stay here to discuss any medical skills with the imperial physician, so she made a curtsy and excused herself: "Madam, Madam Shizi, then Yue Er will leave first."
"Yunzui, lead the Third Miss Nangong back to the garden."
"Yes, Mrs. Shizi."
Led by the maid Yunzui who had led to the clean room earlier, Nangong Yue took Yimei back to the Furong Pavilion in the garden.
Qu Jiayue's eyes were sharp as she spotted Nangong Yue walking from afar and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "Where did Third Miss Nangong go just now?"
When the other girls heard this, their gazes fell on Nangong Yue's body in unison.
Only then did Nangong Heng realise that Nangong Yue had not been in the garden for some time, so she hurriedly walked over, unable to hide the worry in her eyes. This Princess Mingyue had been looking for trouble with herself before. Now, she's not going to turn her attention to Yue Jie Er, is she?
Nangong Yue blushed shyly and said softly, "I am to blame for being greedy, I drank a few more cups of tea, and I have just gone to the washroom."
It turned out that she had just gone to the washroom. Qu Jiayue immediately felt a bit absent, and turned her head in annoyance and gave a "humph", "Lazy people are full of shit." She said this very softly, but the girls around her still more or less heard it.
Although the girls were aware that Princess PrincessMingyue had spoken in a vulgar manner, they did not acknowledge it because of her identity.
Nangong Heng's face turned red when she heard this, but she couldn't possibly argue with County Princess Mingyue because of this comment, it would make a big deal and it would be even worse if word spread out.
Nangong Yue bowed her head in confusion.
In the eyes of the other girls, she was so humiliated by Princess Mingyue that she couldn't lift her head, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the two sisters of the Nangong Mansion.
The two sisters were really unlucky to have met such a troublemaker as Princess Mingyue.
Besides, this county princess has no idea what she is talking about. She is only speaking out of a moment of pleasure, but she does not think about the words she said to Nangong's Miss Third today. Once the word gets out, it will simply be damaging to others and to herself.
The atmosphere was awkward when a housekeeping mama came to Jiang Yixi: "Eldest Miss, the banquet is ready, you can invite the girls to have dinner."
The girls then realised that they were unaware that it was already time for lunch.
