Chapter 269 Heart disease? No pulse or heartbeat
"That's it, Shopkeeper Xie. Although your shop is not as big as Nishang Pavilion, this princess just likes your fabrics and embroidery. I don't care where they come from." Princess Zi Ning snorted arrogantly.
"The princess is of noble status, but she doesn't despise our shop and often comes to patronize it. It is an honor for our shop." The shopkeeper was flattered and immediately felt proud. Just now, the earl's daughter was still saying that their shop was not good, and in the blink of an eye, a distinguished guest came to the door. This wave of slaps in the face couldn't come too fast.
Pei Qianxin's face was extremely ugly. She was just joking that only lowly people would come here, and only servants and people like Yao Qingnian were worthy of it. She didn't expect the princess to come. Now she just hoped that the princess would not notice her and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away with the maid, but what she feared came true. Just as she turned around and prepared to leave, Princess Zi Ning suddenly said, "Oh, isn't this the lady of the Earl's Mansion!"
"Hello, Princess..." When she heard Princess Zi Ning calling her, she paused, turned around and gave an ugly smile.
"You also come here to buy things! Well, you have good taste! The items here are complete, of good quality and inexpensive. People love to come here, and this princess likes it too." Princess Zi Ning looked at her steadily.
"The princess has a noble status, but she is not fussy about trivial matters. She is truly a role model for other ladies." Pei Qianxin said flatteringly. She dared not say that this place was only worthy of maids and lowly people.
The princess in front of him was not just a princess in name only, but a real noble lady from the capital city. There were many people who wanted to curry favor with her.
Yao Qingnian felt embarrassed for her as she watched her change from being so arrogant just now to being so humble now.
"That's not what Miss Pei said just now..."
Pei Qianxin was afraid that she would reveal what she had just said, so she looked at Yao Qingnian with a warning look, then said with a smile: "I was just strolling in the shop, and I didn't expect to run into the princess and Miss Shen. It's really a coincidence today."
Princess Zi Ning looked at Yao Qingnian and said, "Miss Shen? Whose family is she from? How come I have never seen her before?"
"She is Minister Shen's daughter. She was just brought back from the countryside." Pei Qianxin replied hurriedly, emphasizing the words "from the countryside".
"Back from the countryside?" She has been recuperating at home recently and has not been out, so she doesn't know what is happening outside.
"Princess, let's stay away from her. She just came back from the countryside. She doesn't know etiquette and is very rude. We should avoid offending you." Pei Qianxin whispered to the princess.
"Yes, Princess, what Miss Pei said makes sense. Let's go somewhere else!" The maid behind the Princess also agreed and glanced at Yao Qingnian with disdain. They were princesses with noble status, how could they stay with women from the countryside? It was beneath their status.
Pei Qianhuan was secretly happy. So what if she was the daughter of the Shen family? She just came back from the countryside and was just a lowly commoner in the eyes of the dignitaries.
"Princess, I heard that Zuixianlou has launched new dishes. I wonder if you are free. If you don't mind, I would like you to come over and try them." Pei Qian said with a smile.
"No, I don't want to eat." Princess Zi Ning refused directly.
"Princess, it's getting late. The princess specifically told you when you were leaving that you must not be left hungry, otherwise you won't be allowed out next time." The maid reminded.
"Alright, alright, I get it! You keep nagging like me, just like my mother. I finally got out, can you let me take a breath?" Princess Zi Ning said unhappily, turned around and walked towards the door, Pei Qianxin hurriedly followed behind her.
After seeing the person leave, everyone prepared to go about their own business. However, before anyone could recover from the shock, they heard a "bang" and Princess Zi Ning fainted on the ground.
"Princess!" The two maids who followed her were panicked and quickly knelt down beside Princess Zi Ning.
"Ah, what happened?" Pei Qianhuan stepped back in fear, staring at the princess who had fallen to the ground with wide eyes. Why did she suddenly faint?
One of the maids who had not spoken just now hurried forward to take the princess's pulse. It turned out to be a female doctor.
But as soon as she touched the princess's pulse, her face turned pale and her body trembled. Then she checked the princess's breath and looked into her eyes. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. Another maid asked in a sobbing voice, "Doctor Rong, how is the princess?"
"The princess' heart stopped beating and she is no longer breathing..."
"Impossible! Princess! Wake up!" The maid beside her pinched the princess's Ren Zhong point and burst into tears.
The people around were also worried about the princess. How could such a young and lively princess die so suddenly? They were unwilling to believe that such a fresh young life was gone.
There was also a doctor in the crowd, who took the initiative to step forward to feel the pulse of the princess. After a while, he sighed and said, "I can't feel the pulse...Princess...Alas..."
"This...Princess...why did you suddenly..." Pei Qianhuan was so scared that she stammered.
"I heard that the princess has been in poor health since childhood and has a heart disease. Even the doctor said that she may not live past the age of 18." A citizen who knew the situation whispered.
"Heart disease? That's an incurable disease." I heard that it can be fatal at any time. The princess has died suddenly now?
"Princess! Open your eyes and look at me. You are still young and there are still many things you haven't done! Don't scare me. Doctor Rong, please save the princess!" The maid was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face. The princess was fine just now, how could she die so suddenly?
"Quick, go and get the carriage and take the princess back home." Doctor Rong hurriedly ordered the servants and began to use acupuncture to protect the princess' heart pulse. She had no pulse and it was feared that she would be in danger if she went back. But the only thing she could do now was to go back home and think about other ways.
"Doctor Rong, please think of a solution!" Seeing the doctor's disappointed look, the maid grabbed her arm tightly and begged.
She looked grim and shook her head: "I can't do anything. The princess is beyond medical help. It's already..."
At this moment, Yao Qingnian came over and said, "All of you get out of the way!"
Doctor Rong looked up and saw Miss Shen, who had just come from the countryside, pushing through the crowd and coming over to squat. "She is not dead yet, she can be saved. Please move aside and let the people around disperse to leave some space for the princess."
After Yao Qingnian finished speaking, she was about to give the princess first aid and perform CPR, but the maid was shocked and wanted to pull Yao Qingnian away in disgust. She hated this country woman from the bottom of her heart: "What do you know, a wild girl from the countryside! Don't touch our young lady with your dirty hands."
"That's right, Miss Shen, you'd better get out of the way. You are a person who knows nothing, and you dare to treat the princess. If something happens to the princess, can you bear the responsibility?"
Pei Qianhuan wiped her tears with a handkerchief at the side: "This is not the time for you to show off, so don't make trouble. This is a heart disease! The doctor said that there is no heartbeat, why are you running here to show off your abilities?"
