Madam Luo was somewhat shaky. Her eyes sneakily glanced toward her daughter and husband’s room, her face trying hard to suppress something, but she spoke."The Princess’s heart is kind. Yesterday, I thanked you for saving my life. If there is a next life, I will repay you by being your ox and horse." Xiaosuisui found this strange. She was obviously talking about her health, so why was Madam Luo mentioning the next life? "Fifth Mistress Xie, you look as if you were injured again after I gave you the medicine. Your face looks like you haven’t slept all night!" As soon as Xiaosuisui said this, Madam Luo’s entire body swayed, and she nearly collapsed. "Watch out!" Xiaosuisui exclaimed and quickly rushed forward to support her. While doing so, she also checked Madam Luo’s pulse, her eyes full of surprise. Madam Luo’s body was already severely depleted. She squatted down and immediately lifted Madam Luo’s trouser leg. The maid accompanying her exclaimed, "Princess, you mustn’t!" Good heavens, why would the Princess suddenly lift a married woman’s trouser leg? As a princess, shouldn’t her words and actions always be dignified, proper, and graceful? However, just as Yun Duo and the other young maids beside her cried out, intending to stop their Princess, they saw that the knee Xiaosuisui had uncovered on Madam Luo’s leg was red and swollen. Blood was even seeping out. "How could this be? These are the kind of bloody marks one gets from kneeling an entire night!" Yun Duo quickly stepped forward and lifted the trouser leg on Madam Luo’s other leg. The other maid, Yunxiang, also exclaimed, "This isn’t just from kneeling all night! It looks like she knelt on pebbles for it to be this severe, right?" Yunxiang and Yun Duo had both come from the Palace. What kind of sordid affairs hadn’t they witnessed there? They recognized at a glance what had happened to Madam Luo’s legs. "Fifth Mistress Xie! Fifth Mistress Xie!" Overcome with shame and indignation, Madam Luo fainted. Yunxiang and Yun Duo anxiously and clumsily moved to pinch Madam Luo’s philtrum, but Xiaosuisui quickly stopped them. "Fifth Mistress Xie hasn’t slept for a long time. She couldn’t bear it anymore and has fainted from exhaustion." Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, the two young maids were astonished. The Eldest Princess was so young, yet she already understood medical skills! "Then let’s carry Fifth Mistress Xie into the room to rest!" Yun Duo and Yunxiang were not very old themselves. Ordinarily, they wouldn’t have been able to carry a grown woman, but unexpectedly, Fifth Mistress Xie’s body was very light. Working together, they managed to carry her into the room. When Xie Pan’Er came out to inquire, Xiaosuisui and her maids had already carried Madam Luo into the room. Xie Pan’Er’s eyes were red. She immediately knelt by Madam Luo’s bed, weeping soundlessly. "Pretty Sister, don’t cry. Suisui has medicine. Once Fifth Mistress Xie takes this medicine, she will be fine." Xiaosuisui took out a medicine pill and medicated ointment from her pouch. Xie Pan’Er kowtowed forcefully to Xiaosuisui, engraving all her gratitude in her heart. Then, Xie Pan’Er fed the medicine pill to Madam Luo and applied the medicated ointment to her knees. "Princess, I beg you, could you please examine my father’s health as well?" Xie Pan’Er, her eyes red from crying, pleaded with Xiaosuisui. Xiaosuisui nodded without hesitation. "Alright!" Hearing Xiaosuisui’s agreement, Yun Duo wanted to speak but hesitated. How could the Eldest Princess examine an unrelated man? If word of this reached His Majesty’s ears, wouldn’t she and Yunxiang be beaten to death? "I’m not sick, no need to check!" Just as Yun Duo was feeling apprehensive, a weak male voice came from behind the group. "Are you really not sick? I think you’re seriously ill! Mother has suffered so much all these years! How long are you going to keep pretending to be deaf and mute?"
