It was similar to depression in her previous life, but it was not completely the same.
Princess Jingning said, “The imperial physician also said that it’s a mental illness.’
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mental disease is one of the reasons. Physical discomfort will aggravate her heart disease to a certain extent.”
This was the first time Princess Jingning had heard such a thing. “In that case, can my grandmother still be saved?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I need to see her medical history and case before making a detailed treatment plan.”
Princess Jingning said, “That’s not difficult. The Imperial Hospital has records.”
Su Xiaoxiao paused and said calmly, “In addition, I hope you can tell me the reason for the Empress Dowager’s heartache if it’s convenient.”
Princess Jingning did not suspect anything and said helplessly, “In a few days, it will be the anniversary of Prince Nanyang’s death. Every year, around April, the Empress Dowager will fall ill. Her condition seems to be the most serious this year. Actually, as long as she survives April, she will feel better.”
Prince Nanyang’s entire family was destroyed in April. When the news returned to the capital, the cries in the Yongshou Palace rang for the entire night.
The Empress Dowager had not seen Emperor Jing Xuan for an entire year. The first time the mother and son met the next year, the Empress Dowager slapped Emperor Jing Xuan hard.
Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to announce the crime of the Prince of Nanyang’s rebellion to the world, but the Empress Dowager threatened him with death.
“You’ve already killed your brother, but you still don’t think it’s enough. You still want to leave behind eternal infamy and let him be despised by later generations! Why don’t you kill me too!”
The news of Prince Nanyang’s rebellion was hidden just like that.
The world was so big. There were many people who knew and even more commoners who did not know.
At first, there were still people asking around. As time passed, no one paid attention to the truth about Prince Nanyang’s family.
Only the Empress Dowager would forever remember the pain of losing her son and grandchildren.
Su Xiaoxiao muttered thoughtfully, “Prince Nanyang’s Mansion…”
Prince Nanyang’s Mansion had a young princess.
The imperial physicians packed their things and left the palace. Hu Jiusheng also sat in the carriage back to the residence with a dark expression. “Wait.” Halfway there, he called out to the coachman. “Go to Benevolence Hall.”
The coachman asked, “Master, which Benevolence Hall?”
Their Benevolence Hall had opened a few branches in the capital.
“At Scholar Street,” Hu Jiusheng said.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Benevolence Hall. The coachman brought over a footstool, and Hu Jiusheng alighted from the carriage expressionlessly.
Hu Biyun was checking the herbs in the storeroom. When she heard that her father was coming, she quickly put down her work and went to the accountant on the second floor.
“It’s so late. Why is Big Brother here?”
Second Master Hu gave up his chair and respectfully made a pot of tea for Hu Jiusheng.
Hu Jiusheng could not sleep after drinking tea at night.
“Dad.” Hu Biyun walked in.
Hu Jiusheng nodded.
Manager Wu looked at the three of them and smiled. “I’ll go downstairs to help.”
Only the Hu family was left in the room. Hu Biyun said, “Dad, are you here to get the herbs? Do you need any rare herbs for the Empress Dowager’s illness?” Hu Jiusheng frowned and said nothing.
Hu Biyun and Second Master Hu gradually realized that something was wrong.
Second Master Hu asked, “Brother, what happened?”
Hu Jiusheng did not answer him. Instead, he asked, “Is there a physician with the surname Su next door? Someone from the Protectorate?” Hu Biyun frowned and said, “Dad, why are you suddenly asking about her?”
