Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1155 - 1152: Human Sentiment

Chapter 1155 -1152: Human Sentiment

“Madam, please sit down and speak; there’s no need for such formality. The flood in Yuzhou was managed quite well this time, Lord Chu resolved the Emperor’s urgent problem, and this time you’ve helped me out of a predicament. All things considered, you and your husband both are truly rare talents,” the Elder Princess praised directly.

Although Lord Chu’s current official rank was not something that would normally catch her eye, the deeds of the couple indeed made those in higher positions feel relieved. The flood had not caused too much harm to the people, which was a savings of silver for the imperial court. Even if the Emperor were generous, he would not like spending without earning.

“Your Highness flatters me,” Ye Muyu responded with honesty. Although she believed that what the other party said was excessive, she still had to say what needed to be said.

The Elder Princess, seeing her neither servile nor overbearing, felt much better: “Madam, there’s no need for modesty. When I say I owe you a favor, I mean it.”

“By the way, how did you save Miss Qi the Third?”

“To answer Your Highness, after a person drowns, because of sheer panic, they tend to swallow a lot of water. At such times, the person cannot breathe on their own for a short period, and if this persists, it can be fatal,” Ye Muyu explained.

...

“Therefore, I had no choice but to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and firmly compress the patient’s chest to expel the ingested water. If done quickly and with a touch of luck, the patient could be revived.” Ye Muyu was unsure whether the Elder Princess would mind the notion of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but that was the truth. Instead of lying, it was better to spread the word about this life-saving technique.

“This…” The Elder Princess sighed after a pause: “It is indeed beyond my wildest imagination.”

“However, since it’s effective, I will inform the imperial physicians. There have been no small number of people accidentally drowning over the years.”

“If it can be spread, it would indeed be a fortunate event for the court.”

Ye Muyu had not expected the Elder Princess to be so concerned about the common people, thinking perhaps that the Elder Princess might have won the Emperor’s favor precisely because their temperaments were a match and they were both concerned for the well-being of the people.

“You speak the truth, Your Highness,” Ye Muyu replied with a light smile.

After talking for a while longer, the Elder Princess rewarded Ye Muyu with a bunch of jade bracelets before having someone escort her out.

Walking out of the mansion with two maidservants, Ye Muyu was tempted to ask whether Madam Tang had left, but decided to hold her tongue since she was on the grounds of the Princess’ Mansion, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At the Princess’ Mansion.

After the arrival of the imperial physicians, they were first sent to examine Qi Rong and Huo Kewen. To prevent any serious impact on their health, the physicians prescribed a number of instructions, requiring some precious medicinal herbs.

The Elder Princess did not even blink an eye and ordered people to retrieve them from the storeroom.

Once the young misses from both families were settled, they were asked to stay.

Then, she summoned the Young Prince for the physicians to examine.

“Royal Physician Wang, how is the health of the Young Prince?” The Elder Princess asked, holding the Young Prince herself, her face showing concern.

Royal Physician Wang quickly made his obeisance and said, “Princess, the Young Prince was born with toxaemia. Although it cannot be completely cured in the short term, nurturing him carefully for ten or eight years should bring improvement. Don’t worry, Your Highness, the Young Prince is blessed and will surely be fine.”

The same old words left the Elder Princess with no choice but to send the physician away.

Meanwhile, the entourage around the Young Prince grew in number.

Even two of her own secret guards, the only ones by her side, one was assigned to guard the Young Prince.

At the Chu family.

Ye Muyu received a letter from her family home, written half a month ago, stating that Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen had already packed up their belongings and set off for the capital.
