Qiu Jun didn't refuse after hearing this, and the two of them quickly came to the second gate.
"Mingyu, what's wrong?"
"Brother, is it you?" Mingyu's voice was filled with anxiety, "The elder girl suddenly developed a high fever. She started talking nonsense because of the fever. She couldn't wake up no matter how hard she woke up. Go to the hospital quickly and invite Dr. Zhang Muqiuzhang! "
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go right away!" Qiu Jun quickly agreed when he heard that Shen Tianshu was ill.
However, Qiao Shuoming stopped Qiu Jun and said: "Brother Qiu, you don't know something. Your Majesty has an order. Tonight, except for the police officers and government officials, no one else is allowed to enter or leave the government office at will unless they have his token."
"Besides, tonight, in addition to the people from the yamen, the royal guards of the palace are also searching everywhere, and they have to check tokens all the way out."
"What can we do?" Mingyu heard this and burst into tears.
"Brother Qiu, give me the address, and I'll help you to invite Doctor Zhang. I have a token with me, so it's convenient." Qiao Shuoming said worriedly, "It's not difficult to invite Doctor Zhang, but now the second door has been locked. I want to If I want to open the door, I'm afraid I'll have to alert the old lady."
Upon hearing this, Mingyu immediately said: "Don't worry, Master Cha. I'll go and beg Sister Chunlan in the old lady's room."
"Okay, I'll go back as soon as possible." Qiao Shuoming said and turned back to the stable, picked up a horse that had already eaten enough fodder and galloped away.
Qiu Jun had no intention of chatting with anyone in the stable at the moment. He went back to his room and lay down to sleep for a while, but he was worried about Shen Tianshu's health and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
Mingyu avoided the woman who was watching the night all the way to the maids' residence and patted Chunlan's door.
"Who?"
The feeling of being a maid is light, which is a common problem caused by waiting for others.
During the night watch, whenever there was any movement in the room, I had to keep my ears open for fear of missing the master's instructions.
So as soon as Mingyu knocked on the door, Chunlan was woken up, and she very vigilantly took out a dagger from the secret compartment of the bedside and held it tightly.
The old lady had already ordered that no one was allowed to walk around tonight. Who would knock on the door in the middle of the night?
"Sister Chunlan, it's me, I'm Mingyu." Mingyu said in a low voice.
Chunlan heard Mingyu's voice, but she didn't dare to let down her guard. She put on her clothes and walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sister, do you know which nanny is on duty tonight in the old lady's room? Our girl has a high fever and is talking nonsense.
"I have asked the man in the front yard to call a doctor, but the second door is still locked at the moment.
"If it's normal, that would be fine. But today, something big happened in the city during the day. I really disturbed the old lady's rest..."
When Chunlan heard that it was an urgent matter, she didn't care about anything else. She quickly tied her clothes, added a cloak to herself, opened the door and said: "I'll go over and have a look. Let's try not to disturb the old lady's rest. If we really can't get around it, There is nothing we can do.
"You said everything was fine, but why did such a big thing happen suddenly? The eldest girl must have been frightened and had a fever!"
Having a fever is not a trivial matter. If you don't handle it well, it will burn your brain.
Although nothing like this has ever happened to the Shen family, Chunlan has also heard of it.
She didn't dare to delay at all, and took Chunlan all the way to the old lady's yard.
She didn't go through the main entrance, but went around in a circle and went to the west entrance.
The old lady slept in the east room on weekdays. The servants in the yard would occasionally come in and out through the west door if they had something to do, so a maidservant would be kept guard here at night.
Only the people in the old lady's yard would know about this kind of thing. If someone else came and knocked on the door randomly, they might really wake up the old lady.
Chunlan came to the west door and whistled, and there was a response from the yard soon.
"who?"
"It's me!" Chunlan lowered her voice.
"Sister Chunlan?"
The sound of the door latch being flipped was heard, and the side door was quickly opened from the inside.
"Which nanny is on duty tonight? I want to get the key to the second door." Chunlan continued to whisper.
"Second door key?" The maidservant was stunned when she heard this.
Normally she wouldn't think too much about it, but today something big happened in the city. Who in the house doesn't know about it?
Even if Miss Chunlan is someone close to the old lady, why should she come to ask for the key at this time?
Seeing that the rude servant girl was stunned and silent, Chunlan couldn't help but said: "Just tell me who is on duty, and I will go to her to ask for the key. Whether she gives it to me or not is her business. It has nothing to do with you. You don't tell me." Wouldn’t I go in and look for it myself?”
When the maid heard this, she thought it made sense. She didn't dare to offend the old lady's trusted personal maid, so she hurriedly said: "Mama Liu is on duty tonight, and she is resting in the back room right now!"
"That's it." Chunlan said and walked straight inside.
There are two rooms in the back that are specially used for the rest of the aunts and maids on duty, and the doors are not allowed to be locked.
Chunlan opened the door directly and entered the house, waking up Nanny Liu who was sleeping soundly on the bed in the back room.
"Mother Liu, wake up quickly, this is serious!"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Grandma Liu was sleeping soundly. She was so frightened by her words that she almost fell off the bed. "Have criminals invaded the house?"
"No, no! The eldest girl is sick!" After Chunlan finished speaking, she saw that Grandma Liu's eyes were wide open with anger, and she quickly continued, "Grandma also knows that such a big thing happened in the city during the day. The eldest girl was brought back by the Crown Prince of Prince Rui personally in the evening.
"I guess it was because I was frightened by what happened in the city, and I really started to have a high fever at night.
"Now the servants from the front office have gone to fetch the doctor. I just ask Nanny Liu to open the door and let the doctor in."
Grandma Liu was sleeping soundly when someone woke her up. She was startled again, and she was so angry that she didn't want to care about it at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the person was Chunlan and she couldn't afford to offend Aunt Jiang, she wouldn't even bother to listen to these words and would have scolded him long ago.
But when Chunlan said that Shen Tianshu was sent back by Wang Shizi himself, she swallowed back the rejection that was already on her lips.
Even though the old lady had given instructions, no one could tell her fault if she didn't open the door.
But it's not a bad thing to be able to form a good relationship with a big girl with just a little effort.
Thinking of this, Grandma Liu said slowly: "In days like this, no matter what you say, I shouldn't let go..."
"Who says it's not the case!" Chunlan said immediately, "The main reason is that the maids around the eldest girl have done everything they can."
"I used an ice handkerchief and wiped my body, but it still didn't improve at all. Not only that, I was already so feverish that I was talking nonsense!
"If it wasn't so serious, I wouldn't dare to risk disturbing the old lady and come here to ask for your help."
Chunlan said it with nose and eyes, as if she saw it with her own eyes.
After hearing what Chunlan had said, Grandma Liu finally lifted the quilt and stood up.
Chunlan quickly stepped forward to help her put on clothes and shoes, then helped her out.
