Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: Suffering from a Severe Illness

Just as a sentence was spoken, it was met with a joint retaliation by two people.

Situtu Qinger expressed her helplessness: "Alright, alright, if the Concubine can be rescued because of your discussion, then all the credit will be yours."

Situ Yu snorted in dissatisfaction and remained silent: "Humph!"

At this moment, a maid hurriedly came in to report: "Second Miss."

"What is it? Can’t you see we’re in the middle of discussing something?" Situtu Qinger was already feeling irritated, and the sudden interruption left her visibly displeased.

With the Second Miss angered, the maid trembled with fear and reported cautiously while bowing her head: "Second Miss, the Old Maid attending to Auntie Tang has arrived."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, the sisters exchanged glances.

Situtu Qinger murmured to herself: "Could it be that the Concubine has something to instruct me?"

Situ Yu, growing impatient, said: "Ah, Second Sister, no need to guess! Just let her in and ask, then you’ll know."

Situtu Qinger nodded and said to the maid: "Let her come in."

"Yes."

The maid exited and soon returned with the Old Maid.

Seeing the young masters, the Old Maid was overjoyed and stood in the center to salute them: "Blessings to the young masters."

From the moment she entered, Situtu Qinger and her siblings stared intently at her.

With an anxious temperament, Situ Yu was the first to ask: "Granny Li, how is the Concubine now? Is she alright? Has she recovered from her illness? Have you come over because she has some instructions?"

Situ Yu bombarded with several questions.

Granny Li was momentarily too stunned to know how to respond.

She glanced around, seeing the maid standing behind her, hesitated: "Masters, the Concubine indeed has something to say to you, but...!"

Pausing here, her gaze drifted to the maid beside her.

Situtu Qinger immediately understood the situation; it involved a secret, inappropriate for many to know. Hence, she told the maid: "We are discussing matters, no need to attend; you may leave."

"Yes."

Understanding the young masters didn’t want a servant to know their matters, the maid sensibly retreated and closed the door.

Situtu Qinger glanced at the Old Maid: "Granny Li, go ahead, what exactly does the Concubine instruct?"

So, Granny Li recounted how Auntie Tang had been taking herbal medicine for half a month, yet her condition not only failed to improve but worsened instead.

Situ Zhi: "Isn’t there still a doctor in the mansion? Have him take a look then."

Granny Li glanced around, speaking furtively: "Little Young Master, you don’t understand, the Concubine suspects that someone has poisoned the herbal medicine, so she wants the Second Miss to go to Prince Pu’s Mansion and ask the Prince to intervene."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

Having gathered his wits, Situ Zhi was exceedingly angry and immediately shouted loudly: "Who dares to be so bold and poison the Concubine’s medicine? I, the Young Master, will chop off her head and kick it like a ball."

Granny Li panicked upon hearing this and quickly said: "Little Young Master, keep your voice down, don’t shout loudly, it’s not good if someone with ill intentions hears it. The Concubine is merely suspicious."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for it was only suspicion.

Granny Li further said: "Second Miss, the Concubine is gravely ill and trapped in the courtyard, unable to leave the mansion. You should quickly go to Prince Pu’s Mansion and ask the Prince to come over and help; even the General would give him some face."

Situtu Qinger nodded: "Go back and tell the Concubine, I’ll find an opportunity to visit Prince Pu’s Mansion to ask Grandfather for help, so she can rest assured and recover."
