Chapter 588: Chapter 575: Administering Medicine

Zhuang Qingning practically ran all the way here. Once she entered the courtyard, she couldn’t even bother with the formalities. She blurted out, “Where is Jinnian now?”

Jinnian?

Such an intimate appellation! Could this Miss Zhuang be an old acquaintance of Chu Jinnian?

As Chu Yunzhao was slightly taken aback by her question, Jing Zhao who’d been inside the house, swiftly walked out without even putting down the wash basin he was holding, “Miss Zhuang, how come you are here?”

He quickly reacted and put the basin down urgently, “Miss Zhuang, do you have a way of saving the young master?”

“Let’s try first, there’s no guarantee though.” Zhuang Qingning answered.

Saying it that way, means there’s a chance.

“Miss Zhuang, please follow me immediately.” Jing Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Zhuang Qingning into the room.

Looking at Chu Jinnian lying on the bed with closed eyes, purple lips, a pale face and extremely frail breathing, completely different from his usual spirited appearance, Zhuang Qingning felt a prickling pain in her heart.

She squatted by the bed, stroked his messy hair scattered on his cheek, and then ordered Jing Zhao, “Bring a cup of warm water.”

Jing Zhao quickly brought a cup of hot water to Zhuang Qingning, passed it to her, and also placed a pulse diagnosis, paper and pen next to her, so that Zhuang Qingning could diagnose the pulse and prescribe the medicines.

“There’s no need, you all can leave now.” Zhuang Qingning said.

“Yes.” Jing Zhao put down the items.

However, Chu Yunzhao did not move, and said, “Miss Zhuang, if you need to check Jinnian’s condition, we can stay and assist you if needed.”

Even though Zhuang Qingning seemed to have a close relationship with Chu Jinnian, and Jing Zhao was absolutely obedient to her, Chu Yunzhao had never heard anything about a Miss Zhuang from Chu Jinnian.

Even though Chu Jinnian was in critical condition at the moment, it was always better to be cautious.

“If the Fourth Prince is not assured and wishes to stay here, it doesn’t matter, but…” Zhuang Qingning seemed to hesitate, after thinking for a moment, she sighed, “Alright, if the Fourth Prince insists on staying here, then you may remain.”

Having said that, Zhuang Qingning opened the bag she was carrying and took out the contents.

One of the items was a jade Bi made of mutton fat jade, which Chu Jinnian had once given her. The other was a small porcelain vase, from which she poured out a few small pills.

Seeing the jade Bi, Chu Yunzhao was taken aback.

Could this Miss Zhuang before him be Chu Jinnian’s long-mentioned fiancée?

While he was still in shock, Zhuang Qingning’s next move almost made him drop his jaw.

Zhuang Qingning did not pop the small pills into Chu Jinnian’s mouth. Instead, she placed them all in her own mouth, took a sip of warm water and then bent down to seal Chu Jinnian’s lips with her own.

Obviously, Zhuang Qingning chose to feed him the medicine in this manner because Chu Jinnian was unconscious and unable to swallow.

This was a thoughtful decision.

However, it was quite startling to see this.

After Chu Yunzhao pulled himself together, he managed to avoid dropping his jaw. To break the awkward silence, he coughed lightly.
