Chapter 619: Chapter 311 Restoration of Memory_1

At the hour of Wei, the carriage arrived at Capital City. Zhu Sujin, worried about Pan Yue, accompanied Qian Yixiu to the Qian family’s residence. As they alighted from the carriage and were about to board the sedan, Old man Cai approached them with a grave expression, trotting over.

He said, "Eldest Miss, the Princely Heir has returned, and an hour ago this servant had just send someone to the estate to inform you, the master, and Mr. Pan. There’s been an accident involving Lady Pan."

Qian Yixiu and Zhu Sujin were startled and asked, "What happened?"

Old man Cai said, "Yesterday, someone from Cining Palace came to take Lady Pan, the eldest young master, and the second young lady to the palace, saying they would ask the Imperial Physician to examine Lady Pan again. This morning, when Lady Pan returned, her carriage was struck by a startled horse. Her head hit the carriage, and she fainted..."

Qian Yixiu and Zhu Sujin were terribly frightened, and Qian Yixiu hurriedly asked the carriers to walk faster. Zhu Sujin, thinking they were too slow, ran all the way directly to Xiyue Garden.

Zhu Sujin arrived at Xiyue Garden first. Lady Wu and Lady Fu were sitting in the eastern room, wiping tears. Zhu Sujin lifted the beaded curtain of the bedroom and saw Pan Yue lying in bed, with Qian Manjiang bowing his head and saying something to her while holding her hand, with an Imperial Physician and Sister-in-law Huang standing by with bowed heads.

Zhu Sujin, with tears in her eyes, asked, "How is my mother?"

Lady Wu, with tears streaming down, replied, "The Imperial Physician took Pan Yue’s pulse and administered acupuncture. They said Pan Yue had a lump on her head, which doesn’t seem too serious, but for some reason, she is still not yet conscious."

Qian Yixiu also rushed in, overhearing these sentences. She anxiously asked, "What about Mingming and Jingjing?"

Lady Fu replied, "When the accident happened, the little miss protected Mingming and Jingjing by holding them in her arms. They are not badly hurt, just frightened. They drank Calming Soup and are still asleep."

Tears flowed even more fiercely down Qian Yixiu’s cheeks; the feeling of being warmly embraced and tumbling down the hillside many years ago surged in her heart. Back then, her young mother was holding the young original owner, but Qian Yixiu now truly felt that warm embrace and the beating heart within. Such is the greatness of a mother’s love, even if one becomes foolish or insane, her children will always be more important than herself.

Qian Yixiu entered the bedroom and sat down by Pan Yue’s bed.

Pan Yue lay there with her eyes closed, her complexion pallid, and her black hair spread over the pillow, like a beautiful sleeping water lily, resting silently on the bed. Qian Yixiu had always felt that her young mother was like a lotus seed fallen from Yaochi Pool, blown by the wind to the mortal world, where it took root, sprouted, bloomed, and bore fruit. Now, this beautiful lotus had finally returned to the Heavenly Court. She had hoped that her mother would live a happy life, but now this had happened.

Qian Yixiu cried, "Mother, Yixiu has returned..."

Standing by the bedside, Zhu Sujin also choked up, "And Jinwa is here too, Jinwa has come to see you. Mother, open your eyes and look at us."

Qian Manjiang’s eyes were bloodshot as he squeezed Pan Yue’s hand and said in a low voice, "Pan Yue, do you hear that? Yixiu and Jinwa have returned. Brother Jiang is also by your side; our family is together, forever and ever."

Pan Yue’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, like the wings of a black butterfly, as if she were struggling to open them but lacked the strength to do so, and tears streamed down.

This was already a surprise. Qian Manjiang said to the Imperial Physician, "Doctor Jiang, my wife’s eyes moved, and she even cried."

The Imperial Physician came over to check the pulse and administer acupuncture again.

Just then, a young Imperial Physician came in with a bowl of medicine and said softly, "Master, the medicine is ready."

Lady Wu and Lady Fu followed him in.

Lady Fu took the medicine bowl and said, "Brother-in-law, help the little miss sit up; since she’s unconscious, we have to pour it down."

Qian Manjiang, reluctant to force it, took the bowl from Lady Fu, drank a mouthful himself, then lifted Pan Yue’s head and fed her mouth to mouth, then lowered her head again.

Everyone except Qian Yixiu turned their heads away.

Perhaps it was something about Yixiu’s unconscious habit, or maybe it was her accustomed indifference; she watched without batting an eye as her stepfather fed her mother the soup, one mouthful after another, until the bowl was empty.

The day gradually turned to night, and the glass palace lanterns lit up. Checking the time, it was already half-past eight in the evening.

At that point, the sounds of commotion rose again in the courtyard; Prince Consort Pan and Qian Sangui had arrived. Pan Yang, who taught at the Songpan Academy in the outskirts, had also come following the message.

Qian Sangui and Pan Yang did not enter the bedroom but waited in the adjacent room; Prince Consort Pan, unconcerned with propriety, went straight into the bedroom.

Old Master Pan’s eyes were red and swollen, clearly having wept on the way. He pushed Qian Manjiang aside and sat next to Pan Yue. Had it not been for Qian Manjiang’s martial skills, he would surely have been pushed to the ground. Seeing that it was his father-in-law, Qian Manjiang did not dare utter a word and let go of Pan Yue’s hand to stand aside.
