Chapter 1814: Chapter 1811: Taking Care Personally

Su Mei finally let out a sigh of relief and carefully fed medicine to Ye Muyu. But since she was unconscious, she wouldn’t open her mouth. Su Mei dared not force the medicine, so she gently coaxed, meanwhile calling over other maidservants.

Over here.

Chu Heng’s face showed no warmth as he calmly asked the doctor, “What exactly is the cause?”

The old doctor took out a piece of fabric: “This was found on the lady, the fabric had some medicinal powder on it, but I’ve been practicing medicine for so many years, and I don’t know what kind of medicinal herb powder this is.”

“Lord Chu can only seek more expert help and invite the imperial physicians to see it.” The old doctor was somewhat helpless. After all, his skills were not refined enough to even identify the medicinal herbs, which was quite embarrassing, but he couldn’t speak recklessly.

Chu Heng suddenly thought of something.

“It’s too late today, let the old doctor rest at the residence first.” Chu Heng arranged.

The old doctor dared not refuse. After all, when he said he didn’t recognize the medicinal herb, it indeed made people suspicious that he might be trying to cause trouble, though he was innocent.

“Lord Chu, this powder, I don’t know if it is the cause of the lady’s high fever; it’s just the only thing we found. Moreover, the lady’s symptoms are indeed caused by encountering a medicine that counteracts her body, leading to the high fever. The medicine I prescribed can only cleanse the intestines and expel the medication.”

Chu Heng acknowledged with a sound, then instructed the servants to arrange for the old doctor to rest.

At the same time, he ordered Lu Chuan, “Go and bring Lu Sangqi here.”

“Yes.” Lu Chuan quickly departed.

Chu Heng glanced at the fabric, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he stored the evidence away. He first went to wash his hands, cleaning himself thoroughly to ensure no place was contaminated by the medicine. Only then did he turn towards the bedside.

“Lady…” Su Mei saw Ye Muyu frowning, unwilling to take the medicine, nearly knocking over the bowl. She quickly took back the spoon, while the maidservant beside her asked, “Sister Su Mei, what should we do? The lady is uncomfortable and won’t take the medicine. What if her fever worsens?”

Su Mei was also anxious and pondered, “How about finding a bamboo tube to feed her?”

“I’ll do it.” Chu Heng’s voice sounded from behind several people.

Su Mei quickly stood up, suppressing the surprise on her face: “Yes.”

Su Mei said this as she handed the bowl of medicine to Chu Heng.

Seeing Chu Heng had taken the bowl and was prepared to feed the lady, she hurriedly called the maidservants who were kneeling on the ground in fear, unsure how to react, to leave.

Several maidservants followed Su Mei out, and only after closing the door did they breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Sister Su Mei. The lord shouldn’t have heard what we were saying just now, right?”

A little maidservant asked fearfully.

Su Mei cleared her throat: “What are you afraid of? Do your work with peace of mind. The lord is not someone who likes to lose his temper over nothing.”

Little maidservant: “We’re just afraid we didn’t care for the lady well and the lord will get angry…”

“Exactly, you can make any mistake except failing to care for the lady.” Another little maidservant said firmly.

Liuye also nodded: “You can offend the lord, but you can’t offend the lady. The former will just be dealt with according to rules; the latter has consequences we can’t bear.”

Su Mei heard their unanimous attitude and cleared her throat, saying, “As long as you’re aware. Now wait here, the lord is personally caring for the lady, we just need to do what he asks.”

“Sister Su Mei, we understand.” The maidservants nodded, and with tasks at hand, they felt less tense.
