Chapter 235 Vomiting Blood and Fainting
Chapter 235 Vomiting Blood and Fainting
(I don't know the exact rank, but Xiaoyanzi is the lowest rank, just a nice way of saying it, a sixth-rank country lady.)
Xiaoyanzi still didn't understand what was going on until the eunuch posted the notice and came to the guest house to announce the decree. Only then did she come to her senses.
Seeing someone coming to announce the imperial edict, everyone in Huibin Building was shocked, but fortunately they knew to kneel down quickly to receive the decree.
The emperor did not want to see Xiaoyanzi again, so he simply conferred the title of Xiangjun on her and did not require her to come to the imperial court to express gratitude. So he just drafted an imperial edict, attached some rewards, and sent her away.
"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Xiao Yun, the orphan of the Xiao family, is gentle, virtuous, diligent, and docile. He is hereby granted the rank of Sixth Rank Xiangjun, and is given one hundred taels of silver and a number of jewelry and utensils."
Even after hearing the decree, everyone still didn't understand what was going on. Who was Xiao Yun?
Liu Qing and Liu Hong knelt on the ground and didn't dare to breathe. If they told the eunuch in front of them that he had announced the wrong decree, they would be silenced, right?
Seeing that no one responded, the eunuch said, "Miss Xiaoyanzi, will you accept the decree?"
Xiaoyanzi felt dizzy and asked blankly, "Me? Who is Xiao Yun?"
The eunuch also lost his patience, thinking about the series of ridiculous things that happened today. Who could have thought that it was such a coincidence that the fake princess who was driven out of the palace was actually Xiao Zhihang's orphan.
Look at the little swallow in front of him. She has nothing in common with being gentle, virtuous, diligent and docile. He couldn't figure out whether she was being sarcastic or not taking it seriously.
But the eunuch still patiently explained.
"I can't explain it either. Lord Xiao, you can go and take a look at the posted notice when you have time. You are Xiao Yun, so please accept the order."
Xiaoyanzi took the imperial edict in a daze, looked at Liu Qing and asked, "Didn't you just say that Xiao Jian would be exiled? What else?"
Liu Qing racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. He didn't know many words to begin with, and it was only after the meeting that he forced himself to learn to read. It was good enough that he could barely understand what it meant.
Xiaoyanzi suddenly realized something and asked, "I am Xiao Yun? Xiao Jian is my brother?"
The eunuch completed his mission after delivering the imperial edict. He nodded in a good mood and prepared to leave.
Her brother was going to be exiled? Her parents were dead?
Xiaoyanzi felt that her brain could no longer think, and a familiar feeling came from her chest. Xiaoyanzi suppressed the fishy and sweet taste in her mouth and ran outside.
A large crowd had gathered in front of the notice, and everyone was discussing this matter. Xiaoyanzi ran over and pushed those people away, then squeezed forward. The people around her were all dissatisfied with being pushed away by her.
"What is this guy doing? Does he understand the principle of first come first served?"
"Exactly, why are you pushing so hard?"
Xiaoyanzi finally squeezed to the front of the notice, looked around, and couldn't understand a few words. Only then did she realize that she was not well educated.
She turned to look at the passersby, "What's written here? Read it to me!"
Seeing Xiaoyanzi like this, passersby mocked her, "I thought something was wrong. You can't even read a few words and yet you have the nerve to push forward."
"That's right, what's the point of squeezing to the front? Do you understand?"
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Xiaoyanzi no longer cared about her face and pulled a girl over to read to her.
The girl was trembling with fear, fearing that Xiaoyanzi would suddenly attack her.
Only after she finished reading it haltingly did Xiaoyanzi understand what had happened.
It turns out that she is not an orphan, nor is she without parents who want her. She has a brother. It was the emperor's mistake that caused Mayu to kill her father. Mayu was her father's murderer, and the emperor was the indirect murderer who caused her such a miserable life.
That's why the emperor hypocritically conferred the title of "County Lady" on her, but she didn't care!
She just wants her parents and brother.
Looking at the figures in front of her who were curiously looking at and talking about her, Xiaoyanzi suddenly exploded and pushed everyone away.
"Get out! Get out!"
Seeing the crazy woman in front of them having a seizure, most passers-by chose to curse and avoid her, but there were still some stubborn ones who cursed back.
"If you want to go crazy, go back home and don't delay everyone from reading the notice!"
"That's right, you crazy woman, you should get out of here!"
Xiaoyanzi rushed to the person who was speaking and pushed him hard, but not only did she fail to move him forward, she was pushed back to the wall by the burly man.
"Just talk, and stop touching me!" He is not a man who is gentle with women!
Xiaoyanzi was pushed heavily against the wall. She could no longer hold back the surging blood in her chest and gushed out in big gulps. The man closest to her suffered the consequences.
The crowd was in an uproar and scattered in all directions, fearing that the woman might have contracted some disease.
Looking at the bloodstains on his body, the man's face turned pale. "You all saw it, she was the first to attack me. I just pushed her. It doesn't count as fighting back. Don't blame me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry. It was really bad luck that he could get himself into trouble just for watching the fun. Don't blame him.
After Xiaoyanzi spurted out the blood, her vision finally became clear for a moment, but it was only for a moment before she fell heavily to the ground.
Liu Qing and Liu Hong saw this scene when they rushed over after sending the eunuchs away.
"Little Swallow!"
Liu Qing rushed forward, picked up Xiaoyanzi and ran towards the guest house, while Liu Hong stayed to find out what happened.
"How could this happen? My fellow villagers, what happened?"
A kind passerby told Liu Hong what happened. Liu Hong sighed and thought that Xiaoyanzi couldn't accept such a blow.
Thinking of this, he hurried back to Huibin Building, hoping that nothing would happen to Xiaoyanzi.
At Huibin Building, the doctor took Xiaoyanzi's pulse, but his brows became more and more furrowed.
Liu Hong asked cautiously, "Doctor, what's going on?"
The doctor sighed heavily. He was considered a famous physician in the area, but he had never seen such a chaotic bloodline.
"This girl must have sustained internal injuries some time ago, and she hasn't been properly cared for. She didn't take medication after the lesions appeared. Furthermore, I've observed that her mood swings are easily affected, which is harmful to her body. This time, her mood swings were so severe that she fainted."
"Injured inside? How could that be? We normally don't even let her do odd jobs."
Liu Hong didn't quite believe it. Xiaoyanzi seemed to be almost more relaxed than the young lady, so how could she be injured inside?
The doctor shook his head: "I don't know about that, but from my observation of her pulse, she must have vomited blood more than once. Why didn't you go see a doctor? If she had been treated earlier, the disease wouldn't have developed into such a serious problem."
"Doctor, is this disease difficult to cure?"
Liu Qing frowned. Fortunately, Xiaoyanzi had just received a reward, which should be enough to cure the disease.
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "I can only say that she's not sick, but has internal injuries. It's become very serious now and can't be cured. Perhaps a miracle doctor could help."
These words were just to comfort them. After all, there was no such thing as the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. He thought he had good medical skills, but he could only barely help the girl prolong her life.
After hearing what the doctor said, Liu Hong's eyes were red. "Is there no other way?"
The doctor sighed, "I'll prescribe some medicine for her and keep her warm. Tell her not to get too excited in the future, and most importantly, not to resort to violence."
