Chapter 1588 - 1570
But this wasn’t the time for Feng Luo to be nagging. Her eyes were fixed on Chu Ge, watching him enter the room.
As Chu Ge stepped inside, he smelled a faint fragrance permeating the air, which instinctively made him frown.
He turned to glance at the vase on the table and said in a calm voice, "Open the window, and remove all these flowers."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could say anything else, someone suddenly rushed forward behind him and shouted at Chu Ge, "These are our young lady’s favorite flowers, and no one can touch them!"
This was the maid who had come with the Princess Consort as part of her dowry.
She strode to the vase, spread her arms wide, and made a gesture of blocking the way.
Chu Ge looked at her emotional display with some amusement and said, "You’re so agitated, is there some unspeakable secret in this vase?"
The maid was stunned, and her eyes flashed with panic. "What nonsense are you spouting! There’s nothing in there!"
Her voice carried a slight tremor.
The housekeeper beside them could no longer stand by, "There’s no need to play mysterious tricks here. Hurry up and treat the Princess Consort. Even if you delay, if you can’t cure her, you won’t avoid death!"
His voice sounded stern, as if conveying another message, implying that Chu Ge was being redundant.
Chu Ge ignored his harsh tone and took a step towards the screen at the back.
Just as he reached the screen, he was stopped again.
"How dare you! This is the Princess Consort’s private quarters, not a place for men to intrude!" What more a person of low status!
Chu Ge cast a cold glance at her, "If I’m not allowed to see the Princess Consort, how can I treat her?"
"You? Just say you can’t treat her! Don’t show off here!"
"Medical treatment involves observation, listening, questioning, and examination. You’re not even letting me do the first step, how can I treat your Princess Consort?"
"..." The maid looked helplessly towards the housekeeper, who pondered for a moment and then nodded to her.
Though the maid felt displeased, she had no choice but to make way for Chu Ge.
As Chu Ge entered, the scent of cosmetics grew stronger. He approached the bed, where the curtains obscured the Princess Consort’s features.
But even through the light veil, Chu Ge could see the Princess Consort’s face clearly. She lay there calmly, with delicate features and no sign of distress.
However, her complexion was deathly pale, especially her lips, which had no color at all.
Chu Ge intended to touch her arm, but suddenly, a hand swiftly blocked him.
He looked up to see it was the maid again.
Chu Ge shot a warning glance at the maid, and she reluctantly withdrew her hand.
As he took the Princess Consort’s pulse, he discreetly infused a thread of True Qi into her body, and unexpectedly discovered similar True Qi circulating within her.
This took him by surprise.
He already knew from the Marquis Ye Mansion that on this continent, cultivation did not rely on what they called Spiritual Energy, yet this True Qi flowing in the Princess Consort’s body was exactly the Spiritual Energy he was most familiar with!
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, but the housekeeper timely interrupted his thoughts, "May I ask what illness our Princess Consort has?"
"Nothing much." Chu Ge withdrew his hand, regained his composure, and walked over to stare at the vase, saying, "This vase is the problem; throw it away. If you don’t, your Princess Consort will never wake up."
When he withdrew his hand earlier, he had already infused a thread of True Qi into the Princess Consort’s body, believing that it would not be long before she awakened.
Nonetheless, Chu Ge was very curious about the background of this Princess Consort. Could she be like Ye Liang and him, hailing from the same time-space as them?
The housekeeper did not acknowledge Chu Ge and directly ordered the servants to discard the vase.
Once the window was opened, the airflow improved significantly, and much of the lingering fragrance dissipated.
Chu Ge came out, and as he reached the doorway, he was stopped again. The housekeeper approached him and sternly asked, "When will the Princess Consort wake up?"
"In no time."
Chu Ge replied nonchalantly.
"In no time? Is that true?" The housekeeper was somewhat surprised; even Luo Qi couldn’t cure her, and yet this young man had done it so easily? Moreover, he did nothing but dispose of the vase. Could it really be that the vase was the issue?
The housekeeper pondered this, sighing slightly in his heart. Apart from the Princess Consort, there were three favored concubines in the Prince Manor, and it was common for them to vie for favor. Knowing such inner conflicts, as long as the Prince remained uninvolved, the housekeeper naturally would not intervene further.
Feng Luo saw Chu Ge emerge, approached, and asked, "How is the situation?"
Although she had no expectations for Chu Ge, her tone was still concerned, for this matter concerned their lives.
Chu Ge parted his lips to speak, but suddenly, the Princess Consort on the bed gave a light cough, and the maids inside the room were immediately excited and flocked to her.
Feng Luo and the others stood outside the door, hearing excited cries from within, "Princess Consort, you’re finally awake!"
"Princess Consort, you scared us terribly!"
Chu Ge glanced back, but his view was blocked by the screen, unable to see the situation inside. Yet, he vaguely saw a figure sit up and lean against the bed’s edge, surrounded by a crowd.
Feng Luo was startled and looked at Chu Ge, suddenly patting his shoulder, cheerfully saying, "Impressive! I didn’t expect you to succeed where even Luo Qi couldn’t!"
Chu Ge coughed lightly and said with calm composure, "It was nothing, just a coincidence."
Luo Qi also approached curiously, puzzledly looking at Chu Ge and asked, "What exactly happened?"
He prided himself on not being exceptionally skilled in medicine, but decent. Even he failed to identify the issue, yet Chu Ge resolved it in a few moments?
Confused, Luo Qi looked at Chu Ge and asked, "Was it really the vase that was the problem?"
Chu Ge glanced back, seeing the housekeeper busy talking to the Princess Consort, having no time to pay attention to them.
He gently shook his head, signaling to Luo Qi that this wasn’t the place to talk. Luo Qi immediately understood, nodding slightly, then turned to a guard nearby and said, "Now that the Princess Consort is awake, can we leave?"
The guard didn’t move from his spot, knowing that whether they could leave wasn’t something he could decide as a mere guard.
Luo Qi realized his question was futile and was about to leave when Feng Luo hurriedly stepped forward to block him. "Father! Are we just going to leave so easily? After helping treat the Princess Consort, shouldn’t we get some reward?"
